Mallory looked at him with a soft expression as well. "Hey, you OK?" She knew this was a dumb question, but she was going to ask anyways.

Jake then went past Room 7 smelling smoke, i wonder who set a fire in there. He continued his journey to the mess hall

“What in the universe…?” Rainbow said under her breath. She stepped closer to the figure, who hissed, opened their eyes and tried to scuttle up the tree with its disproportionate limbs. ”WHAT THE FUCK?!!” Rainbow screeched, almost dropping her weapon as she jumped back.

Jake made his way down…and got some tea…he attempted to clear his head. I just need to breathe and think of a plan to destroy all the problems i've made.

”Uh, Jake?!” Rainbow called loudly, ”I think something’s here to see you!!”

Jake heard the yell from outside and got out there, seeing Rainbow , "what's here to see me??"

“I don’t know, but it’s creepin’ me out! It said your name very slowly, do you know the thing?!” She answered, looking behind her after poking the branch it clingged onto.

Jake looked around and saw a winged creature his memory was slightly coming back. " Angle Aura…it's me Jake…please calm down…"

“You know this thing?!” Rainbow yelled quietly.
“Jaaakee!” The Gem squealed joyfully, perking up. It seemed that she had grown quite attached to him.

Jake then opened his arms. " hey c'mere. you can hug me if you want to" Jake smiled warmly.

Jake said quietly, "Yes i know Angle Aura, i Believe she helped me get back to Haven?"

She swung down from her hiding spot and smiled, fluttering over to him like a confused bird.
Rainbow didn’t look quite convinced, but Jake seemed to know her, so she trusted his judgment.

Jake then welcomed her in a hug. Then looking down at her he asked. " what are you doing here?"

“Act-no-ite angry, sent away, she want Tiger.” Angel said, looking up at him sadly.
Rainbow shot up, realizing she was talking about Actinolite. It seemed she had no choice but to tell Tiger’s story.

Jake looked shocked so thats what mal was talking about…OMG what did i do?

Jake looked at Rainbow. " hey…so im guessing you know this person? Why does she want Tiger?"

She sighed, turning away as she sat on a small boulder, then looked back to him. “….It’s not a pretty story…You sure you want to know..?” Rainbow asked.

Jake Nodded, noticing that Angle Aura was watching him.

Rainbow nodded, “So…Tiger was only about two days old when it all started. (No, she wasn’t a baby, Gems don’t do babies.) She was made in the Beta Kindergarten; a place that was known for making defective Gems. And Tiger was one of them. Her life started out like all of us; bursting from the earth with hundreds of other Gems. She was assigned to her base, and quickly made friends with the others who were sent with her.” She began…

Jake Listened closely.

“Moss Agate runs that base, but Actinolite, she was the diamonds personal scientist, nobody really knows what her project is. Anyway, everyone was taught how to fight because of the rebellion, they wanted to start a war…But Tiger couldn’t even summon her weapon…that’s why I want to protect her…she can’t even protect herself…..Actinolite saw to it that she would learn how to do so. She wanted to teach her how to defend herself, but she couldn’t…she just ended up whipping her every day, even though she couldn’t do anything.”
Rainbow’s eyes started to tear up, suddenly showing a softer side to the prickly Gem.

Jake had a hand over his mouth. " Oh gods…" He looked down at Angle Aura.

Rainbow felt weak all of a sudden and was putting her weight into her spear. Angel didn’t seem to understand the severity of Tiger’s story and was looking up at Jake in confusion.

"Rainbow …do you want some help getting back inside?" Jake asked. Angle Aura was watching him. Angle kind of reminds me of my daughter

“No, I’m fine…” She replied through gritted teeth. Angel looked down at her feet, confused as to what had happened.
