Missing Memory
The last thing I remember is drifting off to sleep. The shock of the cold water woke me up immediately. I was in the ocean. I had a backpack on and some long pants and a t-shirt. I had no idea where I was or why I was there. I picked a direction and started swimming. The sun came up quickly and exchanged places with the moon. After hours of swimming, I clung to the backpack and passed out.
"Hello? Hello? Are you awake?" That was the first thing I heard as I woke up. I couldn't move as a result of the exhausting swim. The voice sounded oddly familiar. I slowly opened my eyes. A young boy was leaning over me with worry in his eyes. The face seemed very familiar, but I was too tired to think. I heard an entire conversation between the boy and 3 women.
"Who is that? Is she evil? How did she get here? What if she's from homeworld? I can't do this again!"
"Calm down Pearl. I don't thinks she's evil. I am confidant that she has something to do with homeworld though."
"Is she dead? Can I poke her with a stick?"
"No Amethyst we need to speak with her."
They noticed me watching them. All was quiet except for the crashing waves behind me. I tried to stand up, but I could only really move my head. The tall woman carried me into a house nearby. I was put on a couch and given something to eat. I felt better after eating the sandwich that the boy made. I thought back on the conversation I heard. I remembered hearing 2 names. Pearl and Amethyst. Where had I heard those names before? Then it dawned on me. I knew exactly where I was. I knew the people I'd seen. I looked up at the concerned and suspicious faces gazing at me. I made eye contact with each of them. As I did, I spoke to them.
"Steven? Garnet? Amethyst? Pearl?"
