Hi everyone! This is my first Steven universe story, and my idea is a little outside the box, but if everyone hates the story I'll quit writing it.
She was scared. She was alone. She had to find the crystal gems. They could help her.
"Hey!"
Who was that? Had the homeworld gems found her? She looked around, and it was just some kid. She ignored him and kept going.
He got in front of her and started talking.
"My name is Renaldo. Can I take a picture of you for my blog? It's called, Keep Beach City Weird! You would be perfect for my next post."
"You think I'm weird?"
She knew why. It was the big red gem where her eye should have been. It was odd, it was unnatural, and it was uncomfortable. He had already taken the picture and was in the process of posting it.
As he typed he read his words out loud.
"Hey guys, check out this freak I found walking around beach city."
"I never gave you permission to take my picture!"
"To late,"he said,"It's already posted."
"Delete it," I demanded," I never gave you consent to post my picture on the internet. And to be perfectly honest if you thought your blog could have used a freak then you should have considered taking a selfie instead."
"Burn," said a voice from behind me.
Renaldo's face turned bright red as he ran away.
"You can't hide forever! The world has a right to know about all abnormalities!"
She turned around to see a man in a tank top, shorts, and flip flops.
"Hey,"he said," are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine," she answered,"some people are just born to be stupid."
Were had she heard that? It had to be from someone important. Only the important memories remained.
"Listen, if you need help I know some people like you. They might be able to understand whatever it is you've been through," he said.
Her whole demeanour changes.
"You know the Crystal gems?!"
"Yeah," he said," I can take you to them."
"Please tell me where they are! I need to find them! I'm desperate!"
Ooooo
Steven and Connie were playing on the beach when he saw his dad's van in the distance. He and Connie ran to meet him. As they got closer he could see a girl with him. She was about his age, and she had a red gem where her eye should have been.
When they got out of the van Steven could see her better. She had short red hair, and pale skin. He wasn't sure what color her eye was first it was hazel and then it was red. It was like both halves of her were fighting for control.
"Steven, where are the gems at?"
His dad broke him out of his thoughts.
"They're inside," he said," Why?"
"I need to talk to them," the girl said," they're the only ones who might be able to help me."
They all went inside, where they found the gems.
Silence filled the room. None of the gems had ever seen a half human other than Steven. It was a bit surprising.
"Everyone,"Greg said,"this is Sophia. I found her wandering the pier. She says she needs to talk to you."
"What do you need?" Garnett asked her.
"I need to know if you can fix me," she said,"I wasn't born this way. I don't want to live like this."
"I can look at it,"Garnett offered," but I need you to tell me how this happened to you."
"I don't remember my life before this happened," Sophia admitted," all I remember is waking up on a ship. Everything before that is a blur."
"Was the gem already attached to you?"Pearl asked her.
"No," she answered,"there was a ruby in the room. They stabbed her, so her body would have to regenerate. Then they carved out my eye. Slowly, and meticulously. I wanted to die. When they were done with my eye the forced the gem into my socket. After a few hours I could feel her coming back to life. I felt her fear and confusion. I felt her rage. She's been trying to take over. She wants power back in her life, but I'm scared I'll loose myself if I give it to her."
