No, this wasn't good. Jaime panicked. What was the attacker going to do? Jaime grabbed the steering wheel and steeled himself. Garnet, what would she say? She would want Jaime to be strong. She put a bolt of lightning into his soul that day at the beach. Jaime looked up out his windshield at the figure walking toward the kids. "….No." Jaime growled.
Jaime yelled in fury and threw the Hando into drive, peeling out on the sand. He mashed his foot on the accelerator racing toward the menacing beast. As he got closer, he saw the brute rise up a single foot, ready to stomp. Jaime hit his brights and lit up the beach. With wide eyes, the woman (as Jaime could tell now) shot a horrified glance to Jaime's car.
Jaime screamed in fury. "YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Time began to slow inches away from the monstrous woman. Frozen in time, Jaime's will was stronger at that moment that it had ever been. Then all at once, time resumed.
BAM!
Jaime made contact with the woman. The front of his car caved in around the woman. His airbags sprang forth and his head bounced on the lifesaving cushions. As for the woman, well she was knocked back. Way back. Jaime looked up from a bruised face to see the woman airborne, flying back into the ocean.
Jaime groaned and felt his body ache from the impact. That was unexpected, he thought. He had no expectations of what would happen, but totaling his car from the impact was not the first thing he thought. Jaime moaned and reached for the handle of the door. After some jiggling and a hit from his shoulder, he forced the door open. Once the door flew open, Jaime landed in the sand face first. He muscled himself up and got to his knees. The kids! Jaime hobbled over to where the children he saw were.
But….
As he got a closer look, he saw they were not really kids. Only small. One girl with red skin and a band around her hair. And another with blue skin in a dress and one large eyeball closed. "What…in the world?" Jaime muttered. Jaime bent over, still in pain and picked up the small women in his arms. He looked up and started to make his way to the Gems' house. There was only a screen door so he let himself in and gently placed the two on the couch. Jaime winced in pain from his injuries. He sat on the floor by the couch, holding his ribs. The pain flared up inside and everything went black.
