A Look Into The Soul.
Chapter 9.
Drops of morning dew landed on faces of two sleepy children, Steven and Connie who were camping on the forest floor, waking them up.
The sky was a gentle blue, and the day was the slightly cool.
"Okay, it's time to keep moving,"
Connie stood up and dusted herself off. Sleeping out in the open was becoming almost routine for the pair. They picked up were hey left off and began to follow along he road.
"What country do you think we're in?"
Steven pondered as they continued their trek.
"I'm assuming we're in America, because I'm pretty sure it was the country I saw we were hurtling towards from space."
A dusty jeep flew past the pair, covering them in chalky earth.
"*cough* At least these cars are a sign of a civilization near by."
Connie chocked, pulling out her phone to check for signal.
"Wait! Steven, look! There's ONE BAR!" Connie screamed with exhilaration, almost shoving her phone in his face.
"Call, call, call!"
Steven exclaimed, bouncing up and down with excitement.
"Okay, okay. It's dialing now."
The phone rang go less than 2 seconds before Connie's panicking mother picked up the phone.
"CONNIE! Where on earth are you! Are you hurt? Hold on, I'm calling the police again."
Priyanka Maheswaren was on the verge of a watery breakdown with the relief of hearing her daughters voice.
"Mom, Steven and I are fine, but-"
"That STEVEN boy is with you?"
Dr Maheswaren hissed.
"Yeah, but not the other crystal gems. We were separated from them when the ship crashed and we la-"
"WHAT SHIP?!"
"The space ship!"
"Okay... But where are you now?"
Priyanka breathed, trying to slow her heart down.
"We don't know... There are no signs, billboards, nothing. Just a dusty road."
Connie sighed, looking all around the open road, searching for some landmark.
"Connie, don't hang up. The police are going to try and pinpoint the location of your phone, okay?"
"I'm not going anywhere."
Connie turned to Steven.
"They're going to try and find the location of my phone, so we just have to wait. How's your gem doing?"
Steven pulled up her shirt, exposing his troubled gem. The grey haze had spread all the way to the base of his neck and below his waist.
"Not getting any better.."
He sighed, poking at the enlarged gem shard that seemed to be getting bigger every time he looked at it. The shard was beginning to absorb his energy, leaving him fatigued.
"We're just gonna have to wait and see..."
