Chapter 9: 50 shades of regret

It was like I was frozen in time. I didn't feel the hurt, I only felt empty. I could barely see the gem shards that lay below the island. I couldn't tell why, but I wanted to join her. She had a reason, but I don't, so why do I feel this way. "Skinny! Ya ge- what happened here?" Fives asked. "It's JJ man, she shattered herself." I said, still unable to move. Fives put her hand on my shoulder. "Why did she do it? Y'know." I let out a low growl. I was trying to speak, but my mind wouldn't let me. I lurched forward, and slowly slid forward, like my body was moving without my brain. I could feel the wind rushing through my hair, then it stopped, and my chest had a whip wrapped tightly around it. "Not you too!" Carnelian said, when she pulled me back up.

"What do you want, can't you see i'm grieving." I said when Lapis walked in. I was lying facedown on the floor, in front a pile of purple gem shards. "Geez you don't have to be rude!" Lapis said, sitting next to me. "How did you two met?" I just growled again. "Don't want to talk about it. That's fine." She said again. "Is that a pile of gem shards?" Lapis' rose quartz friend said, walking in unexpectedly. "Why do people want to be near me?" I asked in a low voice. "I can fix this!" The rose quartz said. He licked his hand and pressed it onto the pile of shards. The shards glowed, and reassembled, but in a scrambled, and screwed up order. The pile of screwed up gems glowed one more, and what it formed was enough to give me nightmares.

The horrible monster screamed ear piercing shrieks of pain, as it took a scrambled form. When it slowly walked towards us, only I could hear it, but it said, "Kill me...Kill me!… KILL ME!" I stood up, and drew my sword. "Cut X J Fasset 5732, I give you mercy." I closed my eyes, and gripped my sword with both hands, and swung it as hard as I could onto the broken mess of shards that were fused together, and I heard a loud crack. I fell to the floor again and started crying. Rivers of tears flowed from me, and I couldn't stop. "Hey, It's alri-" Lapis tried to say, before I interrupted. "Leave me alone. Just… LEAVE!" Lapis and her rose quartz friend left quickly, and shut the door. Their footsteps gave it away, like they were running in fear. I flipped myself around, to where I was laying on my back, and nearly 17 orange spikes were extruding out of the ground.
