Selena started rummaging through Elysia’s bag, and she was shocked to find that the Azure Ocean wasn’t there. She checked every corner again, but still nothing. Panic began to set in–if she couldn’t find it, she’d have to pay Elysia for the necklace.

“Everything okay? Still can’t find it?” Elysia raised an eyebrow, a sarcastic tone creeping into her voice.

The others were taken aback.

“Selena, is it not in the bag?” Yolanda asked, concern creeping into her voice.

Elysia, worried about getting Elena involved in her troubles, quickly said, “I’m okay with the search.”

Elena shot Elysia a glance and finally released Selena’s wrist.

Elysia stretched out her arms, allowing Selena to check her over and over–there was still no sign of the Azure Ocean.
