A/N: Hello everyone...Yes, I'm alive, I'm not dead, life just got in the way. My friend broke his leg and I had to check up on him every now and than. Plus I didn't have any inspiration to write because I was too busy editing amvs. Sry about that. Anyways, let's go. I know I lost a lot of you btw...
Disclaim-You know what? I think I got my point across already.
The Next Day...
Steven was still contemplating his desk ion on letting Jasper go. He would probably pay the price for that, but for now, all he could think of was finding Lapis.
He couldn't help but feel worried about her state and condition. If she's out there, he hoped she was alive.
He had to go back to the Kindergarten and go to that little under ground base. If there was any information on Homeworld there, he's taking it.
He then remembered those shadow creatures. What were their deal anyway? They barely talked to him, they just attacked him without saying a word.
He didn't know if it was Cassiterite playing with his mind, or something else.
Suddenly, he got a text from Connie.
Connie: I printed all of the evidence from Cassiterite's ship onto the board. They all seem connected, but it feels like we're missing something. Something that's very important.
Steven: You're right. We need more clues to actually find out where Cassiterite is. And guess what, Jasper came by my house late last night.
Connie: Wait, WHAT!? Are you okay? What happened?!
Steven: I'm okay. I didn't expect to see her so when I opened the door I was pretty scared. But then she collapsed on the floor for some reason. The Gems came out, we tied her up, and once she woke up, we would question her.
Connie: I'm glad your okay. Then what happened?
Steven: Once she woke up, she started arguing with all of us. She wouldn't say anything that we needed to know. So...I made a deal with her. I said if she tells us what we need to know, we'll let her go.
Connie: Steven...WHAT THE HECK!? Why would you do that. She's dangerous.
Steven: I did that because wanted to know where Lapis is. If Jasper isn't with Malachite anymore, both Jasper and Lapis would defuse, right? So Lapis has to be out there somewhere, and I intended on finding out where. Get it now? Afterwards, I made her promise not to hurt anyone. And surprisingly, she agreed. We than let her go. The end.
Connie: Well, if you truly believe she'll do the right thing, then I myself will believe you and take you're word for it. :)
Steven: Thank you, Connie.
Connie: Any time Steven.
A/N: This isn't suppose to be a short chapter, but I don't like making author's notes that take up an entire chapter so I just made this. Feel free to skip this chapter and pretend that Connie magically knows what Steven did with Jasper... Anyways, I have a confession to make... I'm NOT 18 in college, I'm 12 about to go on 13 in February. I'm a 7th grader yes. The reason I lied is because I was afraid I would be judged because of my age. And I thought people would doubt my writing skills if it were coming from a 12 year old. So I lied... And I am so sorry everyone. You guys can hate me, and flame me, but I don't really care. This is me and this is who I am. And don't think I've abandoned this story because I never will. You guys have made me happy and made me smile, and I haven't had that feeling in forever. I just want to say if you want to write, but your intimidated because of your age, don't be. Accept who you are and move on. Don't worry about anyone else's opinions. If you need to talk, my skype is mtvlion2003. And everyone, please watch and keep updated on my videos on my YouTube channel. I changed the name to only Mtvlion2003. I'll be releasing some Growing Darkness arc trailers there.
If you hate me, I don't blame you. But even if you do, I don't hate YOU.
Im not even going to correct the mistakes in this chapter lol.
