Chapter 2-Darkness...Then...
When I awoke, I found myself outside the Gems' sanctuary. I had done my research on this locale before, so it wasn't entirely foreign. Aqua knew of it too, and I knew I had to find her. There really was no sign of anything, no hope, no trace, nothing, until I accidentally bumped into a young boy. He was a fluffy-haired earthling probably no more than 10 at least. I knew who he was and had heard stories about him but never met him in person. We became quick friends, but not even his exhuberance or mirth could keep me happy.
'What's wrong, Turquoise ?', he asked, as if he knew something were wrong. I tried not to cry in front of him but it was no use.
'Aquamarine is gone. I don't know where she is or what's happened to her. I...am nothing without my sister.', I said, the tears blinding me and my sobs wracking me. Before I knew what was going on, Garnet had wrapped me in an unusually strong embrace and I suddenly felt calm.
'Don't worry. We'll find Aquamarine. Something tells me she's alright.', Garnet said. I knew this more than anyone else concerning her abilities. My tears and fears allayed, I followed her while Pearl and Garnet kept close on their heels. Cleaning up the debris from Peridot's ship would have to wait for another time.
