Venus took in a sharp breath, while Moon was relatively unfazed. Of course, this would have happened - She had always suspected Terra was using her somehow. If she used the oath right now - which she easily could, it would have been…wrong. She didn't feel safe with someone as powerful as Terra as her enemy. As soon as Venus opened his mouth to speak, Terra had the knife even closer to Moon's throat.
"You! Don't you dare even say a word!" She hissed, and Venus closed his mouth.
"How are we supposed to explain anything? Calm down and put the knife away first, Terra." Moon said, her voice flat. The words would have sounded quite comforting, if not for the cold undertone.
"You. You pretended to be my friend!" Terra hissed at her, bringing the knife even closer to her throat. Only planets could kill other planets - so she was very much at risk right now.
"There was never any pretending. I'm still your friend." Moon replied, calmly.
Terra stared at her for a minute and then moved away. When Moon reached up to tap her neck, a small smudge of red spread onto her fingers. A small cut, but she hadn't even felt any pain for some reason. Perhaps it was because that sinking feeling in her stomach was overruling everything else.
The feeling of being caught. What a dreadful feeling.
Terra's eyes were wide and fearful, and she was now blindly swinging the knife around. Her dark green hair was falling wildly over her face. Finally, she pointed it at Moon, and stammered,
"Where am I? Why am I here?"
Then there was a dull thunk, and Terra's eyes slowly rolled to the back of her head. When she fell forward, Aqua was standing behind her, bubbles rising from her airly frame and half of her body missing.
"Apologies for the wait, my lady. It took me a while to come back from being steam." The water spirit mumbled, and Moon sighed.
"I suppose it can't be helped. It's alright. Let's tie her up for now."
