Been day dreaming all day of this chapter, plus the moment you have all been waiting for is coming soon...
Lapis kept her hand intertwined with Peridot's wearing a goofy grin staring at the sky as Jasper and Amethyst had terrified looks on their faces. Where the fuck was the Lazuli they were accustomed to? Where the fuck did the demon in blue vanish off to?! Even hearing her giggle when Peridot squeezed her affectionately sent chills up their spines. Garnet would smack Amethyst on the ass to get her to relax as Pearl would pout until Jasper would give her loving herself.
"OH! Here's the money Amethyst!" Peridot piped up handing over her cash along with Lapis'. Jasper doing the same along with Pearl caused the short woman to raise her fists and cheer!
"We gonna look hott as hell ladies!" Garnet clapped and carried her girlfriend on her shoulders. "Do you wanna head there together?" The others simply nodded and followed behind Garnet like a family of ducklings. The gang took their time digging around for dresses as Lapis kept her gaze on her girlfriend helping her skim through the selections in her size. They found a frilly one and a lace one but in the end Peridot stuck with one that had a slit up to her right thigh, blushing brightly she asked Lapis what she thought only to end up giggling at the sight of her drooling. Lapis went with a loose dress and the two content with they're purchases spent the rest of the time waiting outside holding each other.
"Hey hon? Do you wanna spend the night at my house tonight? That way we can save trouble for them to pick us up tomorrow." Peridot asked trying her hardest not to look bashful. Lapis kissed her cheek.
"If this is your way of trying to get laid you can be a little more aggressive." Peridot smacked her playfully and giggled when her girlfriend's response was a yes with another kiss.
Arriving at Peridot's home the couple went to her room to play some simple games as light music played in the background. After getting her ass handed to her enough times Lapis gave in and held Peridot against her as she watched the blonde play some RPG's. Lapis was liking Mass Effect, Liara was like a busty version of herself in her eyes. Of course Lapis was no 100 year old genius either, Peridot loved her all the same and that was all she needed.
"How come you don't pick Ashley?"
"She's an alien racist." Lapis snort laughed and squeezed her girlfriend.
"Liara then?"
"Going to wait until the next game actually."
"Why?"
"Tali." Lapis didn't understand but nodded none the less returning her chin to the blonde head of hair underneath her. After a few more hours of watching Lapis could feel Peridot getting just as sleepy as she was and pulled the blonde away from the tv and onto the bed slowly undressing themselves and snuggling under the covers. Peridot nuzzled into Lapis' chest and the two laid still for quite some time unsure of the other's feelings at that moment. Finally breaking the ice Peridot asked:
"Are you comfortable?"
"More then I have ever been in my life." Lapis whispered kissing the blonde's forehead. Peridot chuckled and wrapped her arms around Lapis' waist pulling her closer.
"Goodnight."
The next day Lapis had forgotten her shoes she bought for the dance at her place, therefore she opted to meet the gang there. Kissing her girlfriend goodbye she began her jog back home since she had left her car as well. It didn't take very long knowing the alleys and the fact she didn't live that far away, arriving home she noticed Emerald walking down the side walk lost in a daze. She called out to him and motioned for him to come over, doing so he gave her a nervous glance before having it fully vanish at her smile.
"Hey Em, how're you?"
"I'm ok? You feelin' alright boss?"
"Not boss anymore. You were right. She deserved better and I plan to be exactly what she needs. I'm sorry Emerald, for the way I had been around you guys i'm truly sorry for my actions. Except Judas, fucking bitch." Emerald gave a little laugh and offered a hug which Lapis accepted in full force. "You go out and have a good day alright?" Emerald nodded waving goodbye to his friend.
Lapis waved to her mother as she found her box of shoes and snatched her car keys heading out quicker than she came in. Pulling out onto the road she smiled at her mom waving goodbye to her. She had 30 minutes till the dance started so she parked her car a ways away from the others and pulled on her dress and shoes before feeling an itch she hadn't felt in a long time on her thigh.
"Something's coming, better bring 'em out." Lapis popped open her trunk and pulled out two unopened beer bottles leaving them on the trunk of her car. "Just in case!" She smiled and walked towards the doors finding her gang of friends already waiting. Sneaking up behind her girlfriend she grabbed her butt and whispered, "Hey cutie, nice booty."
"Lapis!" Peridot shrieked turning around and slapping her arms a few times getting the bluenette to giggle loudly. "I missed you." Lapis kissed her deeply and held her hand.
"I missed you too babe." Lapis smiled brighter than the sun and Pearl began to 'awwww' making the others shudder. The doors finally opened and the crowd was welcomed to DJ Sour Cream showcasing at his first gig ready to rock their worlds! The lights were off except for the rave lights and overheard colors shining down on the dance floor. Garnet smiled at Amethyst dancing her butt off with Pearl and Peridot as she joined Jasper near the punch bowl. Lapis was observing the room, looking out for who would cause trouble in case that was the meaning behind her itch.
She found nothing particularly interesting and joined her girlfriend on the dance floor showing off as much as Amethyst did, both grew happy smirks and even danced together earning a few claps and oooh's from the crowd around them. Laughing to herself Lapis strolled off to join the giants at the punch bowl.
"Garnet your girlfriend is getting some looks, I wouldn't let them linger for too long." Lapis commented bouncing her eyebrows. The tall woman chuckled softly before taking her time getting to her girlfriend to begin a dirty dance off. Jasper placed a hand over her mouth to stifle the laughter but blushed as Lapis nodded towards Pearl who was turning into a wall flower. "She needs you, give her what she wants?" Jasper took another cup and filled it up before marching over. Lapis laughed some more before downing a cup of punch herself, looking around she turned her view to her car and crushed the paper cup in her hand. Some asshole was keying her car and was halfway done spelling the word bitch before she had time to grab her mask and tools.
"Got you now bitch, haha!" The young man was drinking one of the two beers left out and keying the car in front of him giggling like a moron. He tensed up and spun around at the sound of footsteps and couldn't react in time to a pair of boots connecting to his face. Lapis sighed keeping the mask on but texting Judas to head over and keep an eye on Peridot.
The young man was as you guessed, Lars. Opening his eyes he began to panic noticing himself tied to a tree.
"Lapis? LAPIS THIS ISN'T FUNNY!"
"Whose Lapis?" The masked assailant questioned coming into view with nothing but a hoodie and some black jeans on. "I am merely a servant of the people here to make sure no wrong doings happen. You my good sir, are committing wrongs on this very night."
"W-What are you gonna do to me?" The masked assailant cackled and lit a torch to show the mask's outlines and markings to further intimidate the scared boy.
"I'm gonna let you try to free yourself, see, as you noticed your tied to that tree. When I leave this torch won't be in my hands but rolling down this hill. When it reaches this puddle it's going to create a ring of fire around you and after that, you'll see hahaha!" Lars shook terrified trying to call out for help but to no avail. The masked assailant walked up the hill and tossed a blade towards Lars for him to try his hardest to free himself as they dropped the torch as well. Lars had finally gotten a firm grip and was starting to cut at the ropes as the fire fully lit and the circle shot up around him in weird curves and turns making his mind run wild.
"I don't wanna be a sacrifice!" He screamed as his shoe had slowly caught on fire. He kept cutting and cutting until he freed himself and kicked off his shoes jumping over the fire and running up the hill. "Somebody help!" Turning out of the trees he was happy to see the parking lot but not too happy to see a the masked assailant punch his lights out.
As Lapis dealt with hiding Lars' body somewhere, Peridot was nervous around Judas who mentioned that Lapis was taking care of something allowing her to be the blonde's temporary date.
"Take it easy baby, I don't bite. Wanna dance?" Peridot shook her head but kept her gaze on her feet. "Look, Peridot right? I'm sorry for how we first met and I hope you can forgive me for it but all I wanna do is make sure your smiling for when she returns. So, care for a short dance?" Peridot lifted her face and nodded slowly before Judas gave her comforting smile and pulled her onto the dance floor. The two had fun and honestly Peridot had loosened up enough for Judas to actually start giggling like a normal woman around the blonde. "Been a while since I went dancing, sorry if i'm sloppy."
"You're doing great!" Peridot called out laughing with the red head. Jasper kept her eyes focused on the two but none the less enjoyed her dancing with Pearl keeping one hand on her at all times.
"Wanna get some air? Kinda stuffy in this place!" Peridot thought for a moment but gave in and followed the red head outside. Heading to Lapis' car Peridot gasped and looked hurt at someone having keyed her girlfriend's lovely car! "There's my payment!" Judas grabbed the other beer and began to down it with a smile on her lips. "Damn, no wonder she called me over, someone fucking with her car is a no no." Peridot was scared at those words wondering what Judas ment by them. "Say, you've got nice lips you know that?" A chill ran down the blonde's spine as Judas wrapped her arms around her and smiled wickedly. Peridot tried to puch her off but the red head was strong and began biting at the blonde's neck getting tears to come out of her eyes. "Keep pushing, I like it rough." She purred biting lower and lower.
"Stop! Help! Lapis!" Just then Lapis showed up back in her dress and smacked one of her shoes into Judas' ears knocking her over. Judas looked up with a cackle as Lapis connected her foot to her jaw and began dragging her towards the school's fountain.
"I was just joking around you uptight bitch!" Judas bit Lapis' hand freeing herself before knocking her over and punching her in the nose. Lapis snarled and kicked the red head into the water before connecting her fist to her face and proceeding to try to drown the red head. Peridot ran over heart racing as the red head's gasps for air grew louder and louder over the splashing. Lapis payed no mind and let the demon take the reigns as she put more and more force onto keeping the red head's mouth and nose under the water keeping her from breathing. Lapis began to cackle and was loving the fact that the bubbles were slowly coming to a halt until she felt her girlfriend trying to pull her hands out of the water. Lapis let go and turned to hold Peridot's face looking over her for marks or bruises.
"Did she hurt you?"
"No but that doesn't matter! You can't just kill someone babe!" Lapis felt her cheeks redden and she sighed before holding Peridot close. "Is this who you used to be?" Peridot whispered voice filled with fright.
"Used to be, till I met you." Lapis let go and pulled Judas out helping her to cough out the water before taking Peridot back to the car. "I'm changing, I am you can believe me. I just need some time. Your actually helping me and it's scary that it's working." Peridot crawled into the back seat and turned to face Lapis as she closed the door behind herself. "I love you, I have never loved anyone besides my mother so you can see why this is nerve wrecking."
"I never have either." Peridot spoke keeping her eyes on the bluenette. Their gazes met and for a moment they felt alone until Lapis pulled the blonde in for a deep longing kiss. Peridot put her hands on her girlfriend's cheeks and smiled. "You have me baby, I am here to help you through whatever your facing. Don't ever forget you can lean on me." Lapis snort laughed and kissed her again.
"I really don't deserve you, but thank you for everything."
If you had happened to walk through the parking lot that night you would have seen a car shaking as the windows began to fog up and I would hope that you would have kept walking and averted your eyes to the young couple showing each other how much they loved the other. Although maybe you could've warned Lapis about the cackling demon who had begun to plot her downfall.
Demon planning, ah shit son!
