Here is chapter 7! Thank you to all the people who supported this story! So grab your tissues. It's gonna be an emotional ride.
Me: Just so you know this story is two weeks after the events of Gem Drill.
Peridot: YOU KILLED ME!
Me: Well you're not dead…
Peridot: What does that suppose to mean?
Me:... Enjoy!
'Please be alright Steven.' Lapis thought as she and Jasper fuses to form Malachite. She thought that Jasper was keeping her from saving Steven but she told her that it was a huge mistake. Lapis understood her friends mistake because she often learns from her past mistakes. Now together again they formed Malachite for one mission and one mission only; to free Steven and the other captives that are being sent to death.
"Hey Lapis?" Jasper starts but stops when she looks at her. "Sorry about all of the commotion back there. This is a huge mistake that I have to fix. This may not be our Steven but this Steven has a important mission here. I don't know what it is but I feel it's important. He is important to someone else back in his dimension."
Lapis was shocked because she hasn't heard Jasper say that much since their Steven's disappearance. She walks towards Jasper and kisses her cheek.
"That was beautiful Jasper. Now let's take this diamond authority down!" she says and walks away. Jasper blushes and scratches her neck.
With Steven
In Dream
"Steven," A soft voice called to me.
I opened my eyes to see pink lights all around me. I slowly got up but winced in pain from Amethyst whips that came from not listening to an order. I think my ankle is broken also.
"Steven," The voice calls me again as I found unusual strength to get up. I was confused. Who and what is this voice?
I finally got up and stood awkwardly looking for the source of voice. I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turned my head to look at the hand on my shoulder. It was Garnets. She came into my head?
"Garnet?" I ask and she smiles at me.
"Steven, please understand."
I stared at her before realizing that Pearl and Amethyst walks in with their weapons out. Tears started running down their cheeks.
"Garnet what's happening?" I ask but the question was swept away when Garnet hugs me. "Why are you crying?"
Pearls face turns into one of rage as she stares into my eyes. She takes a step forward but Amethyst holds her arm.
"Are you the real one?!" Pearl screeches out her voice breaking a bit. "Are you our Steven?"
I was taken back a bit. Pearl never sees the tears that are dripping down my face.
"I am." I said and then feels a blade go through my stomach. I scream as I see her face. "P-Pearl."
Her face darkened, her eyes changed color, her outfit turned dark. She became that Pearl I saw before.
"NOOOOO!" I scream as my body hit the ground.
I woke up as Jasper runs to my cell. She has that face that means she is sorry and that everything is fine. She picks me up and starts running the way she came from. I'm so tired from that nightmare that I had that I couldn't move. What was that...foreshadowing?
"Steven! Gosh dangit kid!" Jasper curses before putting pressure on my knee wound once we were a couple of yards away. "How do you get in these messes?"
"I don't know." I said coughing.
"Steven!" Lapis shrieks and hugs my head. "I'm so glad you're safe."
"Don't you care about me? I risked my life for him and you just sat there!" Jasper snorts out.
"I was the one who wanted to form Malachite for this one mission! You think I should care for you more than Steven?"
Jasper was taken back by her question and stayed quiet. I coughed again as Jasper wraps a cloth around my leg tighter than any other time I got badly injured on a mission. Which happens often than not. That's why I decided to train harder than ever before and makeup for my past mistakes. Pearl says every time that someday I won't be saved by her or the others. I may be alone in a fight. Maybe even on a solo mission? If it takes a turn for a worst then…
I shook my head to silence those thoughts. I am not going to think about the future. Garnet says so. Wherever they are I will find them! Even if it means losing my life.
"Steven," Lapis starts, staring at me. "What are you thinking?"
Thats a good question? What am I thinking? How am I going to fight like this? My injury will make me weak and easy for my enemy to finish me. I remember I have healing powers but I don't know if it will work?
"Lapis can you unwrap the cloth around my leg? I need to try something." I said softly and she looks over at Jasper who shrugs.
"Whatever the kid is doing? Better have him try it." She whispers and I nod at Lapis showing her how determined I am. Lapis still doesn't budge.
"Please Lapis! I know this is weird but I need to get back to my family. They will be shattered before I could even try to help them! Do you understand Lapis?"
She looks away and sniffs. Lapis then turns to me and sighs.
"Your one tough gem Steven. Just be careful okay?"
"Are you kidding! I am always careful!" I lied but I wanted to reassure her that I will be fine and bring the gems back and maybe Peridot. "Now let's do this."
She cuts the cloth.
Then all hell breaks lose.
Do you guys hate me yet with this cliffhanger? XD
