Chapter 8: Day 1, part 3

Bloodstone was making breakfast for Steven and Amethyst. Steven and the other have been asking about what they saw for the last two hours. She was cooking some eggs, bacon and waffles for her little one. She loved cooking, seeing other with smiles just makes her day, a little bit more happy. She placed three plates on the counter and all three of them and began to eat. Both Steven and Amethyst's eyes began to widened. To them, this breakfast was amazing.

"It's good to be alive, right Steven" She said as she take a bite out of her waffle. She forget how good waffles were.

"Yeah!" Steven said as he continued to eat his breakfast.

"well... I got to go and take a shower." Bloodstone said as she put her plate in the sink and walked toward the bathroom. She opened the door, saw that Peridot was standing on the counter top. She picked up Peridot, walked out to the front door of the house, went out to the deck and throw Peridot with very little strength. Peridot was sent flying like a rocket.

"she's not going to be back for few hours. Well, back to my shower" Bloodstone said as walked back to the bathroom. She spent a hour in the bathroom before coming out with some clothes, but with wet hair.

"Ok, Steven. What on the list for today" Bloodstone said as walked toward Steven and Amethyst, who just finished putting their plates away.

Just like magic, both Garnet and Pearl stepped out of Garnet's room.

"were going back to the sky temple and " Garnet was cut off by Bloodstone.

"And a team of dolls that think their strong or a blue crab named Dr. Woody Vote Question" Bloodstone said as she got stares from both Steven and the gems.

"No, a monster is at the sky temple and we need to catch it" Pearl said as she tried to make reason of what Bloodstone just said.

"Ok, let's go" Bloodstone said as she jumped on to the warp pad.

Lets skip the boring stuff and go to the good stuff.

At the area were Steven, Amethyst and Pearl was attacked by the giant bird.

Steven, Garnet, Amethyst, Pearl and Bloodstone have made it. This was where the monster was, or would be? if the area wasn't fucking empty. Only some rubble and holes from a old fight was around. Plus a small pool of water.

"Ok, we're here. Now where is the monster ?" Bloodstone said as she looked around for the monster.

As they looked around for the monster, a little blue crab come out of the pool.

"Dr. Woody Vote Question!" Bloodstone said as she got ready for a fight.

"Don't be silly, crabs aren't intelligent to" Pearl was cut off by the sound of someone laughing.

"ahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Yes, it me Dr. Woody Vote Question and have brought the most terrifying, monstrous, largest and violent creature that I could ever create " the crab said as the sound a large beast could be heard, coming from under the clouds.

The sky become dark and sound of a roar could be heard. The little all around them, seeing nothing. Then it went quite, so very quite. Then..., it came! Bursting out from under the clouds, it was a huge, long bodied serpent. Its snake head was rotting, its arms were no more than a mixture of flesh and gem. Its wings were partly ripped and misshaped. As the gem and Steven looked in horror. Bloodstone couldn't help, but think about the promise she made with Rose.

Memory Time

Rose and Blood was setting at a table with some tea, happily chatting away. Bloodstone made a special chair just for her, hoping that it make it easier to set down with her baby. She was only four months in and her belly was bigger than her caring personality. Rose was talking about the baby and Greg. Bloodstone was happy to see that Rose could found a good man like Greg.

"Bloodstone... could you do me a favour? " Rose said, drinking her tea. Her hand shaking with fear.

" Yes, Rose? What is it?" Bloodstone said as she give Rose a smile.

"Could watch over the baby and show it how beautiful this world is" Rose said, her mind was full of fear. She couldn't help it, Bloodstone has been down this path before. she believed that Bloodstone would never do this for her. Without a word, Bloodstone got up and walked over to her. Bloodstone kneeled down and pressed her head softly on her belly.

"did you hear that? I'm going to watch over you, I know your to love this world just like your mother does" Bloodstone said as she rubbed Rose's belly softly. Rose began to cry, Rose was so happy to have Bloodstone by her side. Bloodstone was ever like this on homeworld, she was closed off to other with Pearly be the only one she be open with. Before Rose could say anything, Bloodstone reach into her pocket for something. She take out a small white stone, Rose couldn't believe it.

"Bloodstone... is that" Rose said, her body becoming heavy. It was Pearly's gem, tears began to flow from Rose's eyes. The memory of that day, the day Pearly was burned into that small stone.

"Look, dear... We're going to watch over her baby, I wish the baby could one day met you" Bloodstone Said as hold the gem of dead lover, she slowly began to tear up and both her and Rose cried. As her and Rose cried, Rose raised her head up and for a minute. She could swear that she saw a another gem, Rose knew this gem. There was only one gem that would wear a red diamond on their left shoulder, it was Pearly.

End of memory.

"Steven can you and others move aside for a minute" Bloodstone said and soldiers, Steven and others moved aside. she walked four step toward and her gem growled. She placed her right hand on her gem and pulled a bow. She aimed it at the monster, taking deep breaths. She closed her eyes and pulled back the string. As the other watched her, their couldn't look away. Bloodstone looked like she was performing, pure silence.
