Lolita's P.O.V.
I wait for Cleo to come back as the time runs and I need to consume another gem because Natalie's time would be cut off if I didn't. I still wait but he didn't enter my bedroom and there are only minutes left before Natalie's time runs out.
"I need to take it with or without him" I said to myself, walking towards the vanity where the bag of gems is placed.
I opened it grabbing the largest gem before closing the bag again, I took a seat on the sofa near the window.
"Here goes nothing" I looked at the gem before placing it inside my mouth and letting it melt.
I waited till the effect happened but it was different, I felt a burning pain in my chest. It feels like something is hammering my chest.
"Why am I feeling this?" The pain wouldn't be this fast to effect, it would happen after some minutes when I take that gem. It wasn't supposed to be like this.
