She was back. Her arms were tied down. Her body writhing in pain. The sound of a split voice echoing through the vast nothingness. She squirmed, and resisted the chains. As usual, there was no sign of weakness. Lapis had her, even if it pained her body to stay fused with Jasper's. Her body rejected the fusion, but Lapis persisted. Lapis cried in agony, as did Jasper. She pushed her body to unfuse, paining her even more. It was a constant tug-of-war. Pushing and pulling, ripping and mending.
The ocean faded a dim black. She felt her restraints loosen and her body float. she looked up, seeing the dim light piercing ever so slightly through the ocean. she swam towards it, her body now back in its true form. She strained her worn and weak body, longing the sunlight.
her body snapped back, being pulled by her ankle, she cried out, feeling water enter her mouth. She was being pulled back down. Jasper frantically looked over her shoulder. It was Lapis.
Lapis brought her down, an emotionless expression plastered upon her soft edged face. Another appendage shot from her body, wrapping itself snuggly around Jasper's face. Her words felt like fire, piercing Jasper's skin.
"I'm finishing this now."
The appendage tightened, Jasper pulling at the stiffly wrapped tentacle. Her legs thrashed and her small field of vision faded into black, squeezed eyelids. She felt the pressure building. Her gem slowly became hostage to force. The cracks were merely painless at first, then loud and shattering. The pain was eating her. Her gem was about to burst. Jasper cried out, but nothing was to be heard from the pale blue gem. Only the painful silence that sat between them.
She felt her body go lymp and Lapis loosen her grip.
Jasper awoke. She was on the beach, but the tide was high. She spit up some water, putting together the awful dream she had. She stood up, reclaiming her "tough guy" attitude. Turning around, she gazed up at the foreign sky. The stars glistened brightly. She was reminded for a moment of how insignificant this world was to her own. The stars beckoned for her to return home with a victory under her belt and a planet at her complete disposal. She scoffed looking up, she could nearly pick out the planet she had lived on. She eased herself onto the ground, looking at the clear night sky and let out an agitated sigh.
she wanted to go home.
