Andrea's POV:
We were able to lose the ghosts after we ran as fast as we can with Ace and Deuce used their magic to drive them off. We skidded to a stop once they're gone, catching our breath from all the running. "Is... Is everyone alright?..." I asked, "Y-Yeah... We're alright..." Ace answered, "Same... here..." Deuce said, "This place is haunted with ghosts, too!" Ace complains once we got our breath back, "We don't have time to deal with them one by one. Let's go!" Deuce waved his hand for us to follow him, "Don't think you can just order me around." Ace spat out, "If you hadn't done something so idiotic, we wouldn't be in this mess." "Not now, Ace!" I yelled at him, "You wanna talk about who started it? It's because you wouldn't clean!" Deuce fired back in anger, "Oh for the love of God!" I facepalmed at their argument. "It started when that furball burned the Queen of Hearts' statue!" Ace corrected, "Ffgna! That's what you get for making a fool outta me!" Grim answered angrily. 

I stared at the trio in front of me with annoyance, "Why am I surrounded by morons?" I ask myself in my mind. Suddenly I heard something behind me. Wait... Why am I hearing mumbling at the end of the mine? "All of you! Do you understand our situation right now?" Deuce shouted, "We're all expelled if we don't get back with a magic crystal by tomorrow morning!" I tried to ignore the guys, trying to hear what I heard. What's it saying? "So stop patronizing me. It's really ticking me off." Ace growled. "Will you three shut up?!" I yelled at them, getting their attention as they turn towards me, "I heard somethin'." I turn back to the direction that I could've sworn I hear a voice. Not the voice I usually hear, this voice is a lot different.

"....on't....ive...wo..."

We all flinched now we can hear the mysterious voice a little clearer. Grim quickly jumped on top of my head, trembling in fear, "W-What's... this voice?" Ace asked quivering.

"St....one....ssss..... mine...."

"I think it's... getting closer..." Deuce said. Ok, now I'm starting to get really scared.

"Stone......... IS MIIIIIIIIIIINNEEE!!!!"

Suddenly, a dark ink like figure appeared in front of us! It's head and face was a glass bottle of ink, but it was cracked in the center and some ink spilled out, making it almost faceless. It was holding a large pickaxe that miners used to mine for crystals, gold and silver, but it looks like it'll be used as a murder weapon on us! But what got to me is the clothes and hat the thing was wearing, there is only one character I know who wears clothes like that.

"I-It's heeeeeeeere!!!" Ace, Deuce and Grim screamed, "Grumpy?!" I thought as I gaze at the monster in fear, shock and horror. Deuce quickly grabbed my arm, and we all ran away from the monster. We managed to get away from that thing. "What the heck is that thing!?" Deuce shrieked after he released my arm, "Fffgnnaaaaaa!!" Grim screamed, "Crowley didn't say anything about that!! Let's get outta here!" Good thing no claws came out since he's still on top of my head. "It's so nasty! But didn't it mention a "stone"!?" Ace questioned, "Eeh!?" Then the monster came back!

"St... one, won't... give...!!"

We all gasped now we can hear what it's saying clearer, "So there really are magic crystals left!" Deuce realized. "N-n-n-n-nope! Nope! I'm a genius but I can't beat that thing!" Grim tremble, shaking his head, and I can feel him shaking on top of my head. "But we'll be expelled without it...I'm going!" Deuce shouted as he stood his ground. "You've gotta be kidding!?" Ace shouted, "Are you crazy?! There's no way you can beat that thing on your own! It's too dangerous!" I screamed at him, "You're gonna get yourself killed!" "I cannot, under any circumstances, be expelled!" Deuce said as he took out his magic pen, ready to fight the thing to get to the magic crystal, "This is not gonna end well." I thought, fearing for Deuce's safety.
