Love of the Ocean
Thank you very much for the positive comments! I'm glad you like this so far! I felt like that first chapter wasn't very good, but if you like it.
Also, I added Azurite in there so you could try to imagine what s/he looks like. I know. A little late for that, but better late than never, right?
Right?
Chapter 2 – Under the Bridge
I felt a deep sadness as I watched Steven drive away. I was glad that I had told him my true feelings for him. But I wish I had gotten to spend more time with him afterwards. Why did the gems have to return so soon? Couldn't they have spent an extra day or two on their mission? I sighed and looked over at Peridot who was still standing beside me.
"Well, that was one heck of a week!" she said, nudging me cheerfully.
"Really? That's all you have to say?" I asked, sighing. She looked at me, confused. I shook my head. "Never mind," I muttered. I turned and went back into the barn.
The mattress Steven had been sleeping on was still laying on the floor, and I walked over and sat down on it. I didn't want to put it away yet, and it still felt warm. I laid down, relishing the warmth coming from it. If I closed my eyes, I could imagine that Steven was still there.
I opened my eyes when I heard Peridot walk into the barn. She walked towards the back of the barn and started messing with some machinery or something. She was always messing with something.
A strange feeling came over me all of a sudden. I felt like I couldn't sit there doing nothing, or I would go crazy. I had to get out of the barn.
"Peridot, I'm going out for a flight," I called to the green gem, "Don't wait up for me!"
I heard a muffled response from her, and then I walked out of the barn. Spreading my wings, I jumped into the air and flew off, flying over the country side. The wind rushed through my hair, and I felt alive as I flew. My spirits lifted, and I wondered if this is how humans felt when they were in love. I breathed in the fresh air as I raced through the area and into a wooded area. I remembered it as the forest that Steven had showed me when I had first come back to Earth after trying to leave for a second time.
I couldn't help but feel all my worries melt away. I had told Steven my feelings. He had said he loved me. And I could see him any time I wanted. I felt my sadness slipping away. And just when I was deciding to fly towards the beach, something suddenly lashed out from below me, catching my ankle and pulling me out of the sky.
Leaves and branches rushed up at me, scratching my face and body, as I was pulled to the ground. Coughing and panting, I tried to stand, but I was pulled down again. I felt something large push me to the ground, keeping me there.
"So, decided to show yourself, huh, Lapis?" a voice I knew all too well growled in my ear, "I knew you would break away from Rose eventually. She can't save you this time."
"Jasper," I whispered, "It can't be! You're still here?!"
"Of course I am," Jasper said quietly to me, "I've been waiting for Rose to leave so I could get you alone. You're finally mine, Lapis."
She leaned over me as I tried to get away. She scooped me up in one arm and pressed me against her. I shuddered as she brought me closer and whispered in my ear.
"You know what?" she murmured, "You were right all along. I guess gems really can fall in love. As I fought you and Rose, and I saw how determined and strong you were, I found myself really falling for you."
"What do you mean?" I asked. My voice was barely above a whisper, and I just couldn't look Jasper in the face as she grinned at me.
"I think I may have fallen in love with you," she quietly hissed in my ear. I felt a cold shiver run up my spine. I felt her press her mouth to the side of my neck as she held me close to
her. What made it worse for me was how gentle Jasper was being.
"You can't be serious," I whispered, "You can't be in love with me."
To counter me, she gently tipped my head up by my chin so I would look at her. Then she leaned down and gently kissed me. I shuddered at her touch. I wanted to break away from her, but I couldn't. She kissed me so gently and so deeply, I could practically feel her feelings pouring through. She kissed me so long, I thought for a moment she had forgotten I was there. She finally pulled back and she looked at me. I was breathing hard.
"Now do you understand?" Jasper asked me, "I've fallen for you."
Before I could say anything, she suddenly swept me up in her arms, holding me close to her chest. My breath was coming in short bursts, and I couldn't even fight back, I was so confused as to what was going on. She started to carry me through the forest, and I had no idea where we were going. We suddenly came across a small bridge over a dried-up river. She took me under the bridge and set me down. Then she sat next to me and pressed me against her.
"What do you plan to do to me?" I asked quietly.
Jasper chuckled. "I plan to keep you with me," she said, "Forever."
A strange, sad sound escaped from me. Jasper looked down at me, and I tried to hide my face from her, but she forced me to look at her. She saw the tears in my eyes.
"What's the matter, my Lapis?" she asked me. And I could hear concern in her voice.
"I don't want to stay here," I murmured, "I want to see Steven again."
Jasper let out a silent hiss. "Steven," she growled, "Rose. Whoever it is! Trying to take everything from me! Not this time!"
In a rage, Jasper suddenly forced me to the ground, pinning my shoulders down. She hovered over me, her face inches from mine. "You're not going anywhere," she snarled at me, "You're mine."
She leaned down and roughly kissed me. Then she sat up and put her legs on either side of my waist, and I felt fear rising inside of me. I gasped in fear as Jasper suddenly ripped my dress, tearing it up the middle. My eyes widened. What was she going to do to me?
"I'm going to make you want me," she hissed at me. Then she reached behind my neck and started untying my dress.
I'm going to end this here, because like I said before, I don't want to do anything explicit.
And just so you know, I do NOT ship Lapis and Jasper. I just want Jasper to torment Lapis.
Anyway, next chapter we're going back to Steven. Hope this chapter didn't revolt you too much. Please leave a comment telling me how much you hate/despise this!
