'Hold up, almost done.' *Puts one more piece of duct tape on the broken piece of the 4th wall.*
'There we go...' *Que piece of the 4th wall falling off.*
'Close enough! Now then...' *pushes imaginary button.*
'Let's get this story back on track, maybe add some vibranium to the 4th wall around this story while I'm at it.'
*TIME RESTART!*
(Let's just say everyone thinks that Gabriel got throw out of Rose's room. Well he did but, you know what I mean. So I put him on the couch out cold!)
"Now then, let's do what Gabriel was supposed to be doing with these gems in here." Last said as he attempted to get his emotions back under control and a few of the clouds around him swirled violently and turned rather red before floating away and turning back to pink.
Last walked to the cages of all of those 'dangerous' gems, he approached a small cage in which its occupant was hiding in the darkest corner of its cell. Last sliped a hand through the bars palm up and froze. For the longest time absolutely no one in the surrounding area moved or made a sound.
Then, there was the slightest movement, if you hadn't been watching closely you would have thought you imagined it. A hand came out of the darkness and put itself on the ground, then another came out and did the same. Listening closely you could make out the soft movement of fabric and the shifting positions of a small body.
Out of the corner emerged a little girl, or at the very least a gem that looked like a little girl. She crawled slowly towards Last's outstretched hand constantly stopping and holding still for a moment before continuing forward. When she reached Last's hand she was completely fidgety, but she eventually reached out her hands and put them into Last's hand. Last closed his hand very slowly, so slow that it would have taken a time-lapse to see it move at all.
At this point many gems had either settled into watch the show or, gems like Stevonnie, went elsewhere to do other things.
THEN, once Last had his hand closed around the small gem's, there was a flash of movement and Last had pulled the small gem into an embrace. The small gem began to seriously panic as soon as she realized something she didn't had happened. She begun to repeatedly sink her teeth into Last to try and make him release.
This continued on for a few minutes before she stopped, whether she realized that it wasn't working or if she simply got tired isn't important. What is important is the fact that somewhere in her struggle to get free from Last, the front of the cage had vanished.
Last pulled the now still girl into his lap and rocked her. It was somewhere around this point that this scared little girl realized that this was an attempt at comforting her. Her body loosened and her fear of Last slowly faded. Last long ago let go of her hands in favor of holding her in a cradling manner so the small gem could calm herself.
An overwhelming sensation of comfort came from Last, everything from his expression to his posture simply screamed 'YOU ARE SAFE!' When the last tinge of fear left her she raised again her hands, this time only heistating for a moment before grabbing hold of Last. If you could have heard anything over the sound of crying coming from her, it would have been the sound of several ribs cracking and then mending.
She cried for a long time, crying out years of pain, years of being alone, years of being afraid. When at last her tears subsided her grib loosened and she feel asleep for the first time in her life.
Last rose from his sitting position and walked towards nowhere. A door appeared without a sound and Last walked through but the door remained. On the other side of the door the was a simple bed with all of the basic things you would expect to be on a bed. Last placed the little girl onto the bed and was about to leave when the girl's grip unconsciously tightened onto Last and he paused.
A chair rose from the ground next to the bed and Last sat on it, never letting go of the little girl. Last leaned somewhat onto the bed and stayed like that.
Last fell asleep holding the hand of a little girl that had never been shown compassion.
'Alright, I think we're good.' *Looks at the 4th wall now heavily plated with metal.* 'Now I can get back to writi...' *Runs back to the wall and looks through.* 'I FORGOT TO KEEP WATCHING!' *Slams fist against 4th wall and a small piece wall out.* 'Screw it...' *Walks back to desk.* 'I need to get back to work.' *Throws the imaginary button over shoulder and doesn't hear it hit but ignores it.*
(It went through the hole, but don't tell the author!)
