We can go out, I feel your mouth
Open me up, butcher my heart
Pearl was dead. Dead, burried, and tied with a scarlet bow upon a new moon. Doomed by a cruel turn of fate and the arrow of Jimmy's bow. The tragedy, as all do, had left her team gone family both shocked and in mourning and, also as all tragedy's do, had impacted one person particularly fiercely... Gem.
Please let me die on the street where you live
Gem... oh Gem. Hardy, strong Gem... angry, furious Gem. There was a great deal of emotions coursing through her yet the one at the top? The single light eclipsing the others as the sun does the moon? Anger. Quiet, simmering anger. Fuelled by agony and tempered by the hammers of an unfulfilled vendetta. She would get his head if it were the last thing she did, if it forsook her own victory.
Don't cry, lie here forever
Let life run its course
The final 5. Victors and losers alike, a stare-down rivalling that of the nouveau rich and the old money as they pass in the same marble-walled country club. Gem's eyes were sharp, as the soft rock weathered by a river is made into a weapon is. Goal in mind and sword in hand she stood... waiting.

Scott was the first, she had beaten these victors before and she do so again, a simple stepping stone to her true goal. Then, one strike, two strike and... Jimmy was next. The world seemed to still a moment, the moon shining high above her. Revenge was served yet... her anger remained. A fact she soon reminded Martyn of, sending him from the edge.
I'll be here in the next one
Next time you know I'll call
And then she was falling. It took a moment to register... betrayal. Martyn stood at the bottom of the square hole, alive. Her anger, though potent, was not deadly to him. Pearl... oh Pearl. Stubborn, loyal Pearl... murdered, avenged Pearl. Gem tries to save herself, the water in her hand but she is too late. With a thud and then silence, Gem is gone. Consumed by the very same thing she helped create.
Don't cry, we're bound together
Each life runs its course
I'll see you in the next one
Next time I know you'll call
