As soon as her teeth grasped the crystal and her tongue touched it, she felt a tingling sensation. It was rapid as it spread through her gums and across her face. Terror seized her as she quickly spat it out. The crystal clattered to the ground as the feeling deepened inside of her. She couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she began shaking her face. Closing her eyes roughly, her ears flattened and she began to shiver. The feeling was inside her bones and there was no getting rid of it.

Picking up the crystal had been a very bad idea.

At the same time as Audra was trying to shake away the feeling, the itchiness spread more. Distracted and now distraught, she almost didn't hear Avantika call out for her. Audra's eyes flew open as she turned to look at the girl. She was right. Where the crystal had scratched her, something sparkling began to grow. A gasp left her as she moved closer to Avantika. Suddenly, she could smell the woodsy coastal scent of Avantika, like a summer breeze rolling off the ocean. Dizzy now, she couldn't breathe or think.

"Are, are y-you okay?!" She whispered, eyes wide now as she hesitated to reach out to touch her wound. Regretting not looking at the scratch earlier, she frowned. "W-what are w-we going to d-do?" Her voice was harsh as she raised her gaze to look at Avantika, worry in her eyes. The itchiness had not faded and she swore her mouth was going numb. Or was it the tingling sensation convincing her it was?
