Jesse communes with the stone

John and Chloe fell asleep. Jesse tried,but she coukdnt stop thinking about the stone. She walked into the living room as John snored. The stone sat in the center of the coffee table, faintly glowing.

"I want to talk to you..." she whispered to the stone. "I want to know more about you."

She tapped the stone and it almost magnetically pushed away from her.

"Don't be like that-" she hissed.

She thought flr a second and began pushing it off the table and into her open palm. The stone tried to break free but shd clasped hard.

There was a thud as she found herself in front of a blonde woman with pink eyes and wearing a pink suit. The walls of the riom wrre pink and the floor had a black a d white checkered pattern.

"If it isn't Jessica," she said.

"And what shouldi call you?" Jesse said picking herself up.

"Gemma is fine for this short conversation ... what do you want to know?"

"Why are you doing this? What do you get out of it?"

Gemma smiled, "Oh honey, I feed off of masculinity. You humans are so full of the stuff. My mistress made me this way."

"And who is that?"

"Tsk tsk," Gemma said wagging a finger. "Thats all you get you naughty girl. Time for you to pay for touching me."

The gemstone warmed in Jesse's hand.
