Neil has been trapped inside of this bubble for so long he does not even remember. The voice first heard had gone quiet a while back but Neil can still hear voices it took so long until he realized where is was coming from... the other gems around him. They never are quiet... They never SHUT UP... He couldn't take this much longer! and then Neil finally heard it "Well Red I think it's time once it breaks climb up the pillar until you reach a purple disgusting room," the voice said. Neil took a second and the others went quiet and then from the bubble he fell to the ground and he saw his hands again. But his skin was red and his hands had claws. Neil stood up and did as the voice did climbing up the pillar. "Good, good keep going you are making lots of progress," the voice told him and Neil made it to the purple room and he hears someone. "Pearl maybe if you didn't have a waterfall that leads to my room then your swords wouldn't fall down here" Amethyst yelled Neil sneaked up the trash hill and saw the door was open "Now is your chance Red run for it!" he yelled in his moved as fast as possible running to get through that door and turned back as soon as he passed the door to see their faces in horror as the door shut Amethyst tried to use her whip to snag him but the door shut right before it was through Neil turned around just in time to dodge Garnet's punch "Neil you've gone too far we need to help you" Garnet said and got in a fighting stance.
"Help me...Help me! you locked us in a bubble! We could hear all of them nonstop! Crying, screaming all of them! Is that how you want to help us!" he yelled uncontrollably. It felt as if Neil had no control of my actions, his words anything. and in his head, he asked.
"what's happening?" Neil asked and the voice chuckled.
"I know you can't find them and Garnet will stop us if you are in control. Now I am taking control here this should help us" the voice said and Neil watched the claws grow in length and he quickly slashed at Garnet multiple times and the gauntlets crumbled in from the reflection of her shades Neil can see he's smirking "time to die!" the voice yelled and raised his arm and this was when Neil fought for all control to stop it.
"stop this! she doesn't have to die I am tired of being the monster I won't go down that road again" Neil yelled Garnet looked so confused he felt Amethyst's whip wrap around him and he hears Steven run inside
"what's going ... Neil? what...what happened to you?" he asked and Neil started loosing my control "Steven it's better for you to leave" Neil said before he lost control "You are all fools Rose could have saved everyone! So why did a lot of us have to die!" the voice yelled and before they were about to put him back to gem form.
"wait let me try something," Steven said and licked his hand and slowly moved to him struggling to break away he pressed his hand to his gem.
"Damn it Red we almost had it! Well I'll be back, just you wait..." the voice went silent and Neil looked down the claws had disappeared his skin was back to normal and Neil smile as soon as Amethyst let go he wrapped my arms around Steven.
"Thank you! Thank you so much Steven!" he said and Steven hugged me back Neil turned back to Garnet "I'm sorry I thought it was just going to get me out of there I never knew he was going to try and kill you I'm sorry,"he said and Garnet patted my shoulder.
"It's okay, you were able to come through," she said. Neil couldn't help but smile but the thought of that "thing" taking over again frightened him.
Hey pups, Ink here! So Neil's new "friend" will come back there. Which means that he'll need to overtake this new force. But who will win? The monster or out protagonist? Also, I plan on putting short stories in the book but Fanfiction doesn't allow that so you'll have to come to Wattspad to InkOkami signing off. Howl at the moon!
