51 views already?! Amazing! Thx guys!
I'll try and update the story whenever I have time, so expect regular chapters. I will notify you guys if I will not be able to post chapters, just so you know ahead of time.
I don't need a bunch of ragers pushing me to upload a chapter, I'll do it in my own time.
Just to avoid any confusion, the Peridot in my story has become good and is now a member of the Crystal Gems. :)
So without further ado, let's begin!
Third Person POV
Garnet, Pearl, and Amethyst trudged home with heavy hearts. Still in Amethyst's arms, lay the pink sparkling gem, Steven's gem. They approached the house. Outside the house, Peridot was tinkering with some machinery. She turned around and called out to the others, "Your back! How did the mission go?". They didn't reply. Peridot stood, confused, then she realized something. "Hey, where is Steven?" she asked, concerned. She had grown very attached to Steven, he was, afterall, the person that had shown her that there was good in everyone. "Didn't he come with you?!" she asked again, growing scared.
Peridot's POV
I was sitting outside, just sort of messing around. Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, and Steven had left a while ago to tackle a corrupted gem. I had stayed behind because I hadn't fully gained control of my abilities yet, and the others didn't want me to get hurt. I suddenly heard footsteps, they were back! I turned around and called out to them, "Your back! How did the mission go?". They didn't reply. I stood, confused, then I realized something. "Hey, where is Steven?" I asked, concerned. "Didn't he come with you?!" I asked, now scared. I ran down the beach to meet them. My heart skipped a beat when I realized that Amethyst was carrying something. I approached her, shaking slightly. I gasped and my hand flew over my mouth as I started to cry. There, nested in Amethyst's arms was Steven's gem.
Amethyst's POV
Peridot ran up to us and after seeing Steven's gem, began to cry uncontrollably. She almost collapsed, but Garnet held her up. I shouldered past her and ran into the house. I almost cried again, but I held it in. I have to be strong, for Steven. I ran up to Steven's room, and I carefully placed his gem on a pillow. I layed down next to 'him' and stared into the gem. Oh, Steven, I'm so sorry. Maybe if I had been quicker, you wouldn't have gotten hurt! Please be back soon. She thought as she began to silently cry. Then a horrible thought popped into her head. Wait! Steven's half human! What if he can't regenerate?! She then began to sob uncontrollably.
Steven's POV
I woke up lying on a fluffy surface. I stood up with some effort, feeling extremely sore. I looked around. It looked like my mom's room. This is weird, how did I get in here? I then gazed upwards and saw something that completely shocked me. Through a window-like structure I saw Amethyst crying. In an instant it all came back to me. The snake, the fight, protecting Amethyst… wait, why did I do that? The first and most reasonable thought that came to me was that she was my friend, and teammate. But I felt as if it was something more than that. Well, I guess that I'll have enough time to think on it while I'm regenerating.
Third Person POV
Pearl, Garnet, and Peridot came inside and saw Amethyst laying on Steven's bed. Peridot wanted to go get Steven's gem and bring it into the temple, but Garnet stopped her. "It's best if you don't disturb her right now, she's pretty shaken up." she told Peridot. Peridot reluctantly nodded and followed the others into the temple.
So what do you guys think?
Peridot is going to be a recurring character. (Hint, Hint!)
Thx for reading!
