Title: Forgotten; Found
Summary: 'Until, one day, something walks by her hole. Not animal, something. She's seen mice and birds before, has seen them starve to death and fade away. This something is two-legged, large, and tall.' Rose goes to the Kindergarten to collect one of the remaining wailing stones. She finds that and more.
Warnings: Yes, this is another 'how they found/met Amethyst' story. Non-canon complaint (by which I mean that, if and when we finally hear the story of how they found Amethyst, it'll be a lot cooler than this). This is all going to be from Amethyst's eyes, by the way.
...
Amethyst's favorite thing to do is close her eyes.
She has lot's of other favorites, obviously. She likes climbing on rocks and sitting on rocks. She really liked kicking that one rock into two rocks, but there's only a limited number of rocks to be found here that aren't part of the walls, so she can't do that often.
Even still, her favorite thing to do is curl up in her hole and close her eyes. When she does that, her body starts to feel heavy and she starts seeing things. Things that don't exist. Bright splashes of color and light, places filled with animals (she's seen a few of those- they wander in and never wander back out. They don't seem to be able to live in this place) and lot's of rocks.
Extreme daydreaming, or so she calls it. It's couple hundred years before she finds out it's called dreaming.
She likes swallowing things, too. It feels weird, but not in a bad way.
There's not a whole lot of things to swallow around here. But there are pebbles and small stones, and those do just fine.
Still, nothing beats extreme daydreaming. Heck, not even extreme not-daydreaming can do the trick.
(It's called boredom. That feeling she's feeling. She just doesn't know what it's called yet. Or that she has yet to feel actual excitement.)
Author's Note: So... Yeah. The prologue's short.
Here's the thing. I've gotten three chapters, including the prologue, written out. I plan on typing them out and posting them within the next few days. After that, there's gonna be a silence. See, we're having problems with the internet at home. I'm at a family member's house for the week. It's probably gonna be a few weeks before that all gets sorted out.
I have a Connie story idea I'd like to write out, too. I'll probably have some chapters of that after the silence is over.
No flames! Don't like don't read! Review!
