A/N: SURPRISE SURPRISE! Did you guys actually think I would make you all wait that long for a chapter!? Ha, no way. Anyways, enjoy. The last chapter was short anyways...
Disclaimer: I own nothing
It was night time and Steven was on his laptop searching the web for anything that seemed out of the ordinary lately.
He saw some articles that said the world will end. He didn't get worried seeing as how the date said the world would end on September 24th, but it's October 17th. (This story actually happened.)
He didn't care for any of the other articles, but he noticed a lot of people have been going missing, specifically in his area. Strange, but it could be anything to say the least.
He then saw one article that sparked his interest. It said "New Giant Hand-like space ship lands on Earth! Alien sign!?" Wait, new? Steven clicked on the article, but was dismayed when he saw Peridot's ship instead of Cassiterite's. Nothing new.
Steven sighed, going back and searching for more clues. The articles were interesting, but they didn't give him any information on Supernatural events, and when it did, it was old news.
He kept searching until he spotted an article that said "Giant Space Hand lands on Earth. Are Alien rumors true?" Steven clicked on it, and he saw the spaceship he was looking for. But it was dated a long time ago. It was only a few days before he had finally discovered Peridot!
This was definitely interesting, and was worth saving. Steven saved the photo and smiled. Let's see if he could find more information.
He searched the web one more time. In hopes of finding anything new. He did, but this time, it wasn't about Cassiterite. It was about those Gem mutants he and Connie fought not so long ago. The article called them "weird monsters" and that they have been showing up on sidewalks, in the middle of streets, and other places.
Strange, but Steven wasn't worried, seeing as how they weren't that hard to defeat. Though, he was worried that there might be an infestation of them.
Steven soon gave up and soon turned off his laptop and got in his bed. Well, if he did find something, he'd have to wait for tomorrow.
Steven woke up in utter darkness. Oh great, more shadows. Steven felt this was getting repetitive so he just sat down and began to think.
"I have to find a way to overcome this." Steven thought.
Steven than heard a voice. But it didn't belong to the shadows he had fought the other day. It was...Lapis?
Steven jumped up, looking around him. Nothing. He heard the voice again, but he couldn't make out what she was saying.
Suddenly, the voice got louder, and he was finally able to hear what she was saying.
"STEVEN! HELP ME!" Her voice echoed throughout the dark place. She sounded panicked and scared.
"Lapis? Lapis!" Steven yelled, trying to see if she could hear him. His head then started to hurt. Dang it, what was happening!? Apparently, his voice had summoned the shadows. He screamed in terror as he summoned his shield.
Lapis's voice kept echoing the same thing over and over again, while Steven backed away cautiously.
"What are you!? What do you all want?!" Steven questioned with a yell of panic, running away.
The shadows quickly caught up with him and soon Steven started to get tired. Having enough, he summoned his bubble shield, making the shadows hiss in anger.
Steven sighed in relief, thinking it was over, until the shadows fazed through the bubble, coming after him. One of the shadows grabbed his right arm, holding him in place.
Steven tried to get out of it's iron grip but nothing worked. The shadow was just too strong. Suddenly, the shadow stretched out and jumped on Steven, consuming him.
Steven couldn't see anything at all now. (Not like he could before.)
Suddenly, he heard Lapis's voice say something different. It sounded bitter and cold this time.
"This place will become your tomb."
Steven jumped up, breathing heavily. Just another dream. It meant nothing, and it never will...right?
Steven put a hand on his forehead and found that he was sweating. This was just too much for him.
If he could just find Cassiterite, all of this would be over. Unfortunately, not everything could go that easily.
Steven closed his eyes for a second, then opened them once again. He looked at his clock, and it read 12:22 p.m. So he only got 12 minutes of sleep in.
Steven sighed, laid back down and closed his eyes. He just hoped these dreams would go away one day, and he could finally have normal dreams.
Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door. Strange. Who would be at his door at this time of night?
Steven got out of bed and made his way to the door.
He opened it and widened his eyes in fear. This was...surprising to say the least. It was someone who Steven never expected to be at his door step.
"J-Jasper!?"
