Chapter 1: constant fights and sleepless nights
Sky's pov
Connie and I were on the beach with lion and her pet bat, Sky. She named him after me. "Are they still fighting Connie?" I asked turning my head slightly towards her. I didn't know where she was and it was hard trying to figure out where she is. "Yeah they're still fighting." She said and I sighed softly. The noises got louder and louder. Garnet wasn't here to stop the fights between the both of them and it was starting to take its toll on me, along with the harsh training Pearl was having me do. Frankly I can't take any more of the fights. I lost my luster from the lack of sleep. Connie and her parents offered to let me sleep at their house, but the last that happened, their house was destroyed and I was still paying off the damage. I never seen Garnet so mad. He nearly popped Pearl for what she did. I had to keep him from away from Pearl. I still do. We snapped our heads when Amethyst came past us. We were on our feet and running the opposite way when Pearl had got out, but I was too slow. I couldn't keep up because of the lack of sleep and the aching from the endless training Pearl had me to. I was caught in the blast and was sent skidding towards the cliff by the temple. "Steven! Oh my god!" Connie yelled as I made impact with the rock. I wobbly stood up as she ran towards me, Sky and Lion following right behind her. Just as I was about to fall, Connie caught me. I smiled at her, unaware of the dripping blood from the corner of my mouth and the patches of bleeding flesh. Lion rubbed his head against mine. "I'm alright, honest." I said trying to disarm their worry, but they knew was lying, which I am very good at. I was breathing heavily as we tried to get into the slightly destroyed house. As soon as we were near the house, Garnet came out. But it was the same time that a long, thin but still pretty big made its way through into my stomach. Missing my mother's gem by an inch. I fell to the ground, blood on the sand. I heard Connie screaming my name, my real name. I heard Lion roaring out in rage, fear, pain and sadness. I could hear Sky screeching into the air. I could feel Garnet's boiling and untold fury. I could feel the weight of Connie's, Lion's, and Sky's fear. I could feel Amethyst's fear, shock, and regret. I could feel Pearl's satisfaction and happiness. I felt really heavy, and just wanted to go to sleep. Then everything went black. Then a voice rang out.
Silly child, you can't leave. It's not your time to go, not now, not ever. Go back and be the leader crystal gems needs. Be the friend Connie desperately needs. Be the mistress Lion sees you as. Be the lover Garnet oh so desperately wants to have. You were not meant to be in such pain, in such desperate need of a mother's love, and such need to be seen as a person. Now go back and be the person I could be proud of.
Garnet's pov
I sighed as I walked to the warp pad. I thought about Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven. The boy has been trying his best to co-exist in the city, but the only friend he has is Connie. He works to pay off the damages Pearl did to Connie's home, and he's losing sleep because the constant fights Pearl picks with amethyst. He keeps me away from Pearl so I wouldn't get mad. I could understand, he never seen me so angry before and he's scared of what might happen if I get angry again. I think he's the only one who can . I could tell that Pearl was training him harshly by the way he acts around her. He doesn't act around the same around me like he does around amethyst, and the thing that gets me is that I fell in love with Steven. I got on the warp pad and warped home. When I got home, the house was a mess. It was slightly destroyed. I could only hope that Steven hasn't come home from work to this mess. I walked towards the door and walked out just as Steven and Connie was coming to the stairs. I looked at Steven and nearly popped. Steven was covered in wounds, and he was being supported by Connie and Lion. But unfortunately, it was the same time that a thin but big piece of wood embedded itself into his stomach, missing his gem by an inch. A lot happened in those next few moments. Connie Screamed, Sky Screeched, Lion Roared in rage, sadness and pain, Amethyst ran over and Pearl followed, but she was smiling. I was feeling untold fury. "Pearl!" I yelled as I jumped and landed in front of her. She stopped in front of me in fear. "You little bitch! Why did you do that?!" I hissed at her, knowing she was the one who threw the wood. "I-I-I didn't know he was there." She said stuttering, but I knew she was lying. "You're lying Pearl." I snarled as Lion landed next to me. Pearl snarled at lion. "Steven is the reason Rose's death. How can we even let that abomination live! He shouldn't even be alive!" Pearl hissed at me. I glared at her darkly. "It's not Steven fault that he was born. He's not the reason Rose is dead. She choose to give up her physical form to bring Steven into the world." I snapped at her. She flinched at my tone. I lunged at her and we fought it out. Eventually, I got a hit on her and she popped. I bubbled her and sent it to the temple and went to Steven. Amethyst had gotten the wood out of Steven's stomach and Connie had a death grip on his seemingly too thin neck. She had a wild look on her face and a stick in her hand. But that's not what made me stop. Steven was thinner than usual and was as tall as Connie. His skin was a pale grey color and his brown hair turned white with red and purple highlights. His hair reached to his knees. His gem moved from his stomach to his chest. It was grey. The gaping hole in his stomach was gone. But that's not what made me stop either. It was the fact that that Steven was a girl. "Stay away! Don't come any closer!" Connie said waving the stick around. wildly in the air. We couldn't come any closer. Lion walked up to Connie and rubbed his head against hers. He also purred at her and she calmed down, but the tears still flowed. It broke our hearts to see Connie like that. "Help, please. Please, Sky isn't one to ask for help because of what Pearl did. She needs help." She whimpered in fear and pain. We gently took 'Sky' out of Connie's hands and rushed inside. We bandaged Steven, or is Sky her name, up and cleaned up everything. "Will Sky be ok?" Connie asked and I nodded at with a smile. I knew she will be ok. "She will be fine, she just needs a few days' rest." I rest." I said and gave her a smile. We didn't know what to call her. All we can do is wait until 'Sky' to wake up to find out the truth. But deep down, I really didn't want to know the truth.
