If you are confused about the necklace drama, you might want to reread the prologue and the first part of chapter 8 again!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!

~~~

I blinked in surprise.

"My...necklace..?" I repeated. I lifted a hand and held the sapphire gem attached to it. "What about it?"

Punz looked at me before glancing at Sapnap and then back at me. "We need to talk privately. It's important," he said, folding his arms with a stern look on his face. I nervously fiddled with the sapphire between my fingers. 

"I will, but only if Wil knows where I'm going to. I wouldn't want to risk anything," I responded. Punz hesitated. "Fine. Let's find him and finish this quickly. I wouldn't want to waste any more time," he agreed, nodding. 

"Woah, wait. Punz. What's going on? You don't have anything.. planned, do you?" Sapnap asked. He put a hand on my shoulder and pulled me behind him protectively. The blond shook his head. "Sapnap, I might be mistaken, but if I'm not, this is serious," he answered lowly. Reluctant, Sapnap let go of me. 

Right before I left, he grabbed my hand. "Be safe, princess," he murmured into my ear before letting me go. 

I felt shivers run down my spine before giving a firm nod. "Nothing will happen," I reassured.

"Come on, Punz. Wil should be by the far right," I said. We walked until we found him. Each step I took, for some reason, made me feel queasy. 

He wants to talk about something I was left clueless for years. 

This is going to be one hell of a train ride.

A familiar brunet came into view. He was talking to Niki and Fundy. "Wil," I said, placing a hand on his shoulder. He turned around, breaking apart his conversation. 

"Yes, (Y/n)?" he asked, smiling gently. I didn't smile back. "Punz wants to talk about something privately. It'll just be us two together, so I'm letting you know if anything happens, then.. yeah..." I trailed off, looking at Punz behind me. 

Wilbur's smile vanished. "And what exactly... does he want to talk about?" he asked, his voice going low. I blinked in surprise and shock. I've known him for years, but I've never seen this side of him.

"He wants to talk about-" "Something that isn't your concern," Punz interrupted me. Both glared at each other. I froze, wondering if I should say something or not.

"Actually, this is (Y/n) we're talking about," Wilbur said coldly, "This is my concern." "I said, it's not. Like you say yourself, (Y/n) is independent. She can't keep relying on you forever, Wilbur," Punz responded. 

"Now that we've had our little chit chat, she's coming with me. We need to talk," the blond said. He grabbed my wrist and began taking me away, but Wilbur stopped him again. 

"Not until you tell me what you're going to talk about first-" "For God's sake, Wilbur!" I finally snapped. "You don't have to be so nosy in everything I do! This conversation is important to me, and for personal reasons!"

Wilbur looked hurt for a second but covered it up quickly. "(Y/n), I'm only trying to protect you-" "'Protect me' my ass!" I let out, glaring. "I just came here to let you know we'll be talking alone, only for a few minutes! Do you seriously not think I'm capable to handle myself?"

He gritted his teeth. "I'm still not allowing you to go. If you tell me, I'll think about it," he replied stubbornly. 

"My fucking god," Punz murmured. "It's about her necklace, Wilbur!" he finally said. Wil's eyes darkened.
