Chapter 2 - Learning My Place
Jasper had just sped up to walk next to me and I turned my head away from her.
I tightened up when she placed a hand on my shoulder just to agrivate me.
I instantly swiped her hand off my shoulder and haulted my steps, staring at the ground as my temper snaps.
"Why'd you stop?"
She asks like some idiot.
Okay, that's it!
I spun around and glared furiously.
I stood tippy-toed to raise my form and stare daggers in her sun-blazeing eyes. I growl.
"You always try this! You always try to control me!!"
I yell in her face, narrowing my eyes. Yet to cowardly lower my body from my height when she had that signature menacing look in her wild eyes, i gulped and stepped backwards, knowing i just made a terrifying mistake.
Oh no...
"Who Do You Think You're Talking To!?" She yells at me in that deep husky tone, coated with rage that always made me shudder in fear.
She clenched her hand around my thin throat in a firm grip and slams me up against one of the towering walls to the Kindergarten.
I quitely yelp in shock as my back hits the hardened concrete-like dirt.
"You're Mine To Own! You Got That!?"
Where is she gettng this...
I miserably squirm as I grasp her strong hand and attempt to brake free of the hold, which only causes it to tighten even more around my small, vulnerable neck.
"I Said, You Got That!?" She yells at me once again.
My eyes widen in pure terror as I frantically nod, which only earns a violent shake.
"Yes!"
I shrieked in a small high pitched voice full of fear and panic while i kicked my legs out, just adding to the weak and useless struggle against her. She finally drops me to the ground, I stay down.
"Good. Now come on, let's take Lapis and-" she turns around only to set view upon an empty dirt-dessert behind us. I gulped, I knew she was going to blow.
"Raaaaaahhh!" She screams with frightening rage before picking up an old gem drill behind her with ease and hurling it to the left of me. It crashed into another standing gem drill, causeing it to collapse and kick up a thick cloud of dirt.
"That Putrid Little Punk!! She's Tricked Us Again!!" She yells at me as I slowly stand up. I wobble to the side a bit and rub my sore neck.
"Maybe she went to 'Beach City'. "
I try to respond normally, holding back the urge of unwanted tears.
Still couldn't believe what she just did. That she thinks she owns me.
"Yes. Probably with that 'rose quartz boy'! I'm going to rip them all apart!" I flinch at her violent words.
I really hate it when she's in this bad mood.
"Let's Go!"
She orders and I slowly walk infront of her slightly until we got to the warp pad. I stepped on it and waited for Jasper before warping.
You know, you could leave her here right now, she wouldn't be able to find you.
No. Stop. Bad Idea. Terrible. Terrible Idea.
I attempt to calm myself from the earlier event before finally warping us to The Galaxy Warp. Which looked like those crystal clods had recently smashed some of it.
"Why are we here?"
"im running a full data analysis to see where the last warp pad was actived and where it headed. if we can find that then we can warp to the Crystal Clods temple." I replied quickly, not wanting to make her upset. I opened up my mini computer made out of my fingers and slid down the right corner circle to access the full scan feature. A long rectangle appeared at the top of the screen and slowly moved to the bottom as it scanned the current area. When it was mid-way down, a hand patted my back suddenly and I flinched, moveing away slightly before noticing jasper wouldn't like the resistance. I tryed to cover up my uneasiness at the interaction by redirecting my attention back to the screen. It had just finished the scan and it shown the coordinates of their base at the top, which i memorized before retracting the screen to my normal fingers and leading Jasper to warp pad on the right
"So the coordinates are set and we can now get there." I state surely as we both walk onto the pad. After an extended blue flash, we were inside the base of the Crystal Gems, some kind of human house combined with their actual temple.
it was an absolute and embarrassing mess.
Torn peices of human furniture and glass shards from the broken windows were practically everywhere on the floor.
Who would ever want to call this their base?
"Wow. This is their base!? What a joke!" Jasper yells loudly, obviously giving no attempt to be quiet even if they were still here. She jumped off the warp pad and looked around the house with her hands on her hips proudly. She soon walked to a section in the left corner, diagonal from me, and opened up a white plastic box, letting out a white mist. She had her hands on her knees and was crouched, looking like an idiot. She stared at it for awhile.
"Hey Peridot! Look! This box makes cold!" She got excited as she childishly called out. I groaned and warily stepped off and made my way behind her.
"What?"
I glanced at the white "box" she held open and I turned to face her with no emotion.
"That's a human refrigerator." I corrected with a blank face.
"Wow." She murmurs in amazement, sticking her head back into the refrigerator. I facepalm in utter disappointment as I came up with a different topic to mention.
"Let's get back to the task at hand. Finding Lapis." I grumble into my hand.
Suddenly a loud scream could be heard from outside, which caught both of our attentions.
"Help!!" A familiar voice screamed, jasper and I immediantly ran over to the broken window infront to see Lapis. Being dragged down the 'beach' to the left by two humans, one tall the other larger.
I gasp.
"There she is! Let's get her!"
I yell and scramble towards the screen door, only to be suddenly yanked back by my elbow.
"Those humans have it under control. Let's leave it to them. Saves us the trouble."
I looked back down at Lapis worriedly.
"B-but Y-Yellow Diamond said-..." i cut myself off when I looked back at Jasper's menacing eyes, they just somehow shot the word superior through my mind an shut me up.
