A small heads up. This is going to be updated when I feel like I can, and there is no set day for the next chapter to come out. Also, Emerald and Lazulite are two parts of me, as I imagine them. Emerald is my kindness, and Lazulite is my anger issues. This is my first FanFiction, I hope you all enjoy. It's not perfect, but its decent. I'm sorry for any errors, and hopefully I can get someone to read these over before I post them. Now, onto the story!

Chapter 1, Meetings

I awoke, completely confused. I lifted up my head, and looked around. I suddenly remembered who I was, but had no idea who had made deep wounds on myself. The same ones that were being filled up completely with sand. I glanced at myself, my skin tight dress ripped up, the forest green color covered in a earthy brown. Then, I looked on my right shoulder, where my gem was located. It wasn't damaged, thankfully. Suddenly, a single thought came into my mind. Lazulite. I tried yelling his name, but sand had filled my mouth as well, causing me to cough, and spit sand. I rested my head on the sand again, trying to keep my ponytail out of the way, and tried to rest, but ended up passed out.

I awoke once again, hours later, to hear a strange voice yell, "Guys, it's over here!" I opened her eyes, and saw a small human approach me. He looked a bit chubby, and a bit odd for a human. The small human saw I was awake, and yelled, "Everyone, she's awake!" I picked up her head and looked around, I saw the same beach, but now with 4 others on it. A small human, what looked to be a garnet, a pearl, and, was that an amethyst? I spit up more sand, and begged to the human, my voice distant and soft, "Help me, please..."

The garnet came over a few seconds later, and picked me up by the neck. I went limp in her hand, as sand ran out of my wounds. They stung the whole while, though. The garnet brought me back to a small house on what looked like a small carved out hill.

"Are we really going to keep her? She could be a friend of Peridot!" The pearl whispered behind me.

The garnet replied back, "Either way, she can't do anything right now," And it was true, since at that moment I fainted again.

I awoke once more a hour later on a sofa. I lifted my head, and looked at my wounds. The sand was gone, and they started to heal. The only problem was they stung worse than before. The small human said, excitement all over his voice, "She's awake guys, come look!" The garnet gem was the first over. She sat down on the sofa, leaving room for me. I looked at her size, I hadn't realized it before, but she was tall. To be honest, I was only a foot taller than the human, so I figured I was pretty short. The garnet gem said to me, in a rough, yet curious voice, "Who are you?"

I decided to tell them, and to ask them a question.

"I'm Emerald. Now tell me, where is Lazulite?"

"Lazulite?" The tall gem asked, confused.

"Wait, you didn't see a Lazulite anywhere?" I was starting to panic.

"No. Who is Lazulite?"

"He is…." How could I explain it? "He is my best friend in the world, and I'm going to find him." I started slowly getting off the sofa.

"Not now." She pushed me back, so I was laying down again.

"I need to!" I exclaimed loudly at her, getting a tiny bit out of control. Lazulite was the only thing that would make me get out of control, out of everything in the world.

The garnet gem got up, and announced, "I'm going to be searching the beach. Watch over Emerald." Then she got up and left. I lay there, like a old rag, when the human child came over.

He said, "What happened to you?"

"I… Don't remember. Only Lazulite and me getting split up…"

"Split up? Like a fusion?" He asked curiously.

I wasn't eager to tell them, but since they helped me, I thought in return I could answer a few questions.

"Yes, like a fusion. We formed Turquoise."

"When Lazulite comes, can I see?" He was bouncing up and down.

"Sure, when we aren't in shreds."

"Why don't you retreat to your gem?"

I paused for a moment. "I don't know how. Nor does Lazulite. I know that pretty much every other gem knows how, but, that's because someone taught them, or they figured it out with someone else. I… I never had anyone around, except Lazulite, and he was born at the same time as me, and knows exactly what I know."

"Wait, Lazulite is a boy?! I thought gems could only be girls!"

"Not all gems are bo-" I started to stay, then stopped, seeing someone coming.
