It was a pitch black room, Amber stood in the middle. For the past five hundred years this was Amber's new home, only accessible if Garnet and Rose used there gems. It was punishment for ignoring orders and shattering every gem that homework's sent. Though it wasn't Amber's fault that he took over, it was impossible to predict when it would happen. But it was fine, he made the best of it. Took his time training, controlling what little powers he had and making them even more powerful then they were. Of course he missed the outside every ten years or so, but no one even knew existed. Maybe a total of ten? He'd be lucky if there was even one more person capable of remembering. Maybe Rose had forgotten about him. Maybe it had been more the five hundred years. Ah fuck, who knew how long it had been. It could have been a millenia and he wouldn't notice. But it's fine, he could wait. Even if they had forgotten about him. After all, he was the first Earth gem to ever exist, and the most powerful. So what was a few hundred more years to him? He could practice forever, and become even stronger.
(5,300 years later. 2019)
"Hey Steven" Fifteen year old Connie ran up the stairs of the beach house to say he to her friend Steven.
"Yo" said Seventeen year Steve, giving her a big hug. They stayed that way for awhile, for a straight minute. But hey, who could blame them. It's been months before Connie was allowed to even mention Stevens name around her parents after they found out that Connie like him. But after some convincing and way to many promises, Connie was allowed to see Steven again. They would have stated that way for even longer but was interrupted by Garnets cough.
"Excuse me Connie. I don't mean to spoil your intimate moment but Steven. We have a mission to go on." They blushed furiously as they stepped away from each other. Making everything really awkward.
"Yo P, we're about to leave soon so-" Amethyst paused, feeling the awkward tension in the room. "P, how bout we bounce and not be here. You know, like, right now." Pearl look up from the kitchen top, noticing the same thing as Amethyst.
"Yes. Um, please excuse me" Pearl rushed to her room, leaving Amethyst to do he same. There Garnet stood, looking at the two young teens standing before her. Obviously head over heels for each other, but to embarrassed and shy to say anything. Obviously being the perfect relationship, this bothered her. More then she thought it would. Garnet just kept staring at them, and into the future. Eventually she turned around and walked to her room.
"I'll be right back" said Garnet "You too, just, work it out for gem sake" and with that Garnet walked off into her room.
"Hey, so, hi I guess." said Steven, red spilling all over his face. "It's been awhile huh?"
Connie shook her head and kissed Steven. There embrace while short, was more the enough to leave them breathless. Wanting, begging for more of each other. "It's been too long." and then back to kissing.
"Hey do you mind if we take this my room?" asked Steven, nodding over to his mothers old room.
Connie's eyes narrowed. "Oh yes. We're going to need a little more..." Connie leaned into Stevens ear "privacy". Steven shivered, her hot breathe again his. And soon to be more, they just had to make it to his room. Though it took awhile, they finally made there way to the door, still kissing. Steven used his gem to open the door, but little did Steven know. Garnet o the other side of the door was opening her door as well. And as they used there gems on the door at the same time, Amber saw light. For the first time ever in over five thousand years.
Amber looked at the light, it burned his eyes, but he wasted no time into sprinting as fast as he could. This may be his only chance, and he was going to take it.
Steven stared down the long dark hallway that was there instead of his mothers room. And at the very end of it he could see Garnet. But w
hat he didn't see was her horrified expression as she realized that she had opened the door to Amber's chambers, to his prison. Garnet ran down the large hallway, her gauntlets at the ready looking for the monster that she and Rose had locked away for good. Little did she know that he was already outside, and on Stevens side!
Steven looked at the strange gem standing before him. Never had he seen a male gem, and one covered in so many scars. Of course gems don't get scars because they we're light, they didn't have flesh. But this one, this one had scars all over his back, arms, torso, legs, and even some on his face. "You" he said, pointing at Steven "Why do you smell of Rose?"
Steven was surprised that this mysterious gem knew his mother. "How do you know my mom?" asked Steven, he and Connie incredible confused. Amber opened his mouth to say something, but before he could Garnet came out of the hallway. Trying to pushing Amber right in the gem on his lower back. Amber's gem glowed, engulfing him in light before showing him in a dark red stained cloak. With black wrappings around his face.
Garnet opened her eyes, seeing that he had grabbed hold of her fist. Garnet pulled away, jumping to Steven side. "You crimson creep, you stay away from my family."
Amber smiled, his cloak looking like it was alive. "You always had fun nicknames for me Garnet. But I think we both know why I'm here again." Garnet scowled deeply at him. "Rose needs me again, and I'm more then happy to oblige. After all, it's been over five thousand years since I've shattered anyone." Steven shivered at the word. Shattered, it was like a gems curse word.
"Excuse me, why are you in my home?" asked Steven. Garnet opened her mouth but before she could protest Amber interrupted her.
"Why isn't that obvious?" said Amber, pointing at his wrapping on his face. "I'm here because Rose wants me to be here. I'm here because Rose wants me to kill for her again!"
