CHAPTER 2:
TEMPLE
Steven was angry. He was angry with Lion because he left him behind. He knew Steven couldn't run as fast as him. However, he figured that he should thank him in someway because he gave him a chance to meet new friends. By making Steven crash one of them!
He always loved to make new friends and he saw good in everyone. People were like books to him, they were unique with their personalities and have their different stories. You just needed to know how to read them. Of course if you asked him about this he couldn't tell these sentences. He would simply say he liked people. He wasn't even wise enough to make these sentences. He was only a small child. Also he never thought about how he threated people. After all, this wasn't the way he thought, this was the way he felt.
Anyways while he was walking towards to the beach, he thought about his two new friends who were walking right behind him. If someone asked Steven to describe his new friends with one word, he would choose; cool! They said they were SUPER HEROES (!) and both of them had unique physical appearances.
One of them was a boy named Beast Boy and his skin was GREEN! Not only his skin though, his hair and eyes were green also. When the first time Steven met him he thought he was a gem but he said he was human. Steven didn't found any reason to do not trust him and since he didn't see any gemstone on his body so it was possible that he was just a uniqe human.
They met only ten minutes ago but Steven could already tell that he had a goofy personality and he liked to crack jokes. This was great since Steven himself adored jokes. He was wearing purple, black spandex suit. He had a grey belt, shoes and gloves. His outfit confirmed the fact that they were super heroes if you asked Steven. There was a permanent smile on his face made Steven himself want to smile.
His second friend was a girl named Raven. Unlike Beast Boy she looked pretty serious. She seemed to hold him in line and seemed not to hold back when she needed to lecture him. It reminded Steven about Pearl and Amethyst.
She was clad in a dark blue cloak with tints of purple in it. Under the cloak she was wearing black long sleeved leotard which left her legs bare and made Steven blush a little. She had a yellow belt hanging from her waist loosely, which had red gems on it. Same kind of gem was fastening her cloak. He wondered what kind of gems they were, rubies perhaps?.. He could ask Garnet when they reach the temple. He couldn't see her face because most of it was covered with the hood of her cloak. He could only see her mouth and her eyes.
Her eyes were a mystery for Steven. Her violet eyes were completely devoid from emotion. This was very weird if you asked Steven because whenever he couldn't understand a person he would simply look inside their eyes. A person, a gem or an animal could lie or act out but their eyes always hold the truth. Even in Lapis Lazuli's case, where her eyes weren't different from a pair of mirrors he could see tint of emotion pass through them. They became darker when she was sad for example.
However Raven's eyes didn't betray any emotion. She was stoic and collected, kind of like Sapphire. They both hide their faces in a way and talked in a monotone that send shivers down Steven's spine.
When he realized they were getting close to temple he decided to break the silence.
''So why are you guys want to see the temple anyway?''
''Temple?'' Raven asked with her monotone. Yep! Shivers down your spine.
''Yes that statue you want to see is the entrance of a temple.''
''What kind of temple and is it inhabited?''
''It is a gem temple and yes it is inhabited by… ME!''
''You live in that creepy lady statue temple? Cool!'' Beast Boy jumped in the conversation.
''Yes me and the Crystal Gems live in there and I don't think they would appreciate that name you find for the temple. Hmm… Maybe Amethyst would.''
''Who is this Crystal Gems?'' Raven asked glaring daggers at Beast Boy.
''Well you can meet them. Were almost at the beach.'' Steven suggested. Raven nodded and followed him dragging Beast Boy behind her who was staring at the six armed, giant women statue with awe.
"Steven!" a voice called out behind them just as they had started to go up the stairs, lion sleeping at the platform they were leading. Turning his head towards the source of the voice, Steven smiled and without wasting another second he run towards his best friend.
"Connie!" he gave her a hug and she hugged him back.
"Where were you?"
"I went to grab some doughnuts. Here…" he said snatching one of doughnuts from the bag and giving her one. Connie grabbed the doughnut saying thanks and hearing someone cough she suddenly realized two weird looking people behind her friend.
"Are we interrupting something?" asked the green one with a teasing smile on his face.
"Uh… No. Steven? Who are those…people?" Steven turned his head back, a confused look on his face and understand whom Connie was talking about.
"Oh yeah! I haven't introduced you guys yet. Connie, meet my new friends. The green boy is Beast Boy and the girl with the cloak is called Raven!" Steven said with great enthusiasm. Beast Boy give a happy "Sup!" while Raven contented with an emotionless "Hi.".
"I meet them while I was on my way back to the Beach. They were looking for the temple and I agreed to show the way to them."
"Are you sure Steven?" she whispered so low that our heroes wouldn't be able to hear without their enhanced senses. "Gems won't be happy to see strangers in the temple. Also how do you know they aren't bad people. They even might be one of the Homeworld gems for all we know. One of them is green for crying out loud! And the cloaked girl is scaring me." She said.
While Beast Boy was chuckling at the last comment Raven was busy thinking what they were referring to when they were talking about these 'Homeworld Gems'. Well, she wasn't late to glare at Beast Boy after dealing with her train of thought. She wasn't really offended by the comment, she was used to be determined as creepy when they first meet her.
"I don't know what that Homeworld Gems are but I can assure you we mean no harm" she informed her. Connie was surprised how they were able to hear her but before she could ask-
"Yeah we are good guys!" Beast Boy jumped in.
"Don't worry Connie they are my new friends" Steven continued for them. "Also they told me they were super heroes!"
"Really?" asked Connie, taking a closer to teen heroes. "Oh. My. God!.. You… you are the Beast Boy and Raven of the Teen Titans!"
"You got it!" exclaimed Beast Boy, giving her a thumbs up.
"I can't believe I didn't recognised you guys before" she said quickly in an apologizing manner. "Even when Steven said your names- How can I be so oblivious?!"
"Hey don't go so hard on yourself" Beast Boy said,trying to calm her down.
"I saw you guys a few times in TV and now I'm one of your biggest fans. Teenaged people fighting crime! You guys are awesome. Well, my mother doesn't really approve it. She says quote-" she made air quotes " 'Super powered or not this business too dangerous for kids.'. However I do not agree. You guys inspired me! Inspired me to fight alongside Steven. I owe you thanks for that." While Beast Boy was busy thanking her for her compliments and giving her an autograph, Raven was yet thinking again. 'Fighting alongside Steven? Why would she need to fight alongside him?'
She was turned back to reality when she took notice of Connie, who was holding a pen and a paper to her.
"I thought… maybe… Uh-" Connie started but Raven cut her by gently picking the paper surprising both Connie and herself. Hesitating for a minute, she finally signed the paper. She gave it back to Connie, giving her one of her rare little smiles. Smiling herself, Connie took the paper just as her phone began to ring. She took the phone.
"Uhhuh…Yes ma'am… I'll be there in a minute… Bye mom" she said, ending the call. "It was my mom. I got to go. Bye Steven" She hugged him quickly and turned to titans. "It was a pleasure to meet you two" she said, smiling.
"Pleasure to meet you too Connie" they answered.
As Connie ran away from them, waving, they started to make their way to the temple. Raven had to admit it was beautiful. A statue of a graceful woman greeted them. She had six arms which four of them stretched to her sides. The last two rested in her stomach and there was a house resting on it. She assumed this was where Steven lived. Her two faces, which were kind of weird but still majestic, had a calm expression on each of them. One was watching the beach and other one was gazing at the beautiful sky. Unfortunately half of the three of her arms was missing and moss was covering some parts of the statue. 'It must be very old' she thought.
"Welcome to my home." Steven welcomed them. It was a small cottage, which can be called cute. Kitchen was on their right and a platform was on their left. They saw a bed on the platform and assumed that was his bedroom. By the end of the bed there was a TV and as Beast Boy noticed a lot of games and game stations. Personally, if Steven asked, Beast Boy would be more than happy to play with him. Under the platform there was a couch and a table in front of it.
Turning around they saw a painting of a beautiful women. Her large, curly and pink hair continued till her waist. She was wearing a white dress, which had a star shaped hole on her stomach revealing a pink gem. Her expression was relaxed and peaceful. She had a air about her. 'Motherly perhaps?..' Raven shrugged. She didn't really know how a mother would act or air about them or whatever.
Just as she was asking who's painting was this, a blue light filled the room. After hearing a loud gasp she turned around. Only to find a blue tipped spear flying towards her.
