They're Here

Amethyst's POV

Garnet and I were still waiting for the ship to land on the shore, just like the green left hand had 5 weeks ago. I had my whip pulled out and Garnet held a fighting stance with her gautlets as the ship neared closer and closer. It seemed to take forever before it finally smashed into the beach, throwing sand in every direction.
Again imitating the green hand ship, an orange sphere appeared at the palm and slowly hovered it's way to the index finger, which then lowered. The sphere opened, revealing 4 gems. There was a ten foot tall orange gem with long swept back creme orange hair. Beside her was a slightly taller yellow gem with side-pointed short yellow hair and she was crossing her arms, I sensed a powerful aura around her. Behind the two were Jasper and Lapis in thick chains around their wrists. Both of them narrowed their eyes and looked away from us in opposite directions, though Lapis had more pity in her expression.
"Hmm. It's some of the rebels. Tell us where she is and I might have some mercy on you."
The yellow gem announced to us in a way you think Peridot would've.
I snarled at her and Garnet just held her fighting stance, not showing any response.
"Very well, looks like we have to do this the hard way." And with that, she jumped off the edge of the finger and slowly walked forward until she was 2 feet infront of me. I clenched my whip tighter, ready to strike as she looked me up and down and smirked.
"Ah, number 12617 I see? And how is Pearl doing?"
I flinched,
I-It was her!? All that time! She caused me to do it!!
She Made Me Kill Her!!!!
Pure rage instantly filled my body and my eyes went wide. Without thinking, I suddenly jerked my arm to swing my whip around her neck, but she caught it in one hand with razor sharp reflexes. She pulled me towards her by yanking on the whip and caught my neck in her firm grip. I dropped the whip and kicked as she raised me and tightened her one-hand hold, causeing me to cough at my throat being slowly crushed. She let out a deep chuckle, then clicked her tongue "oh, what a disappointment you are. I was hopeing you'd break all of your team. But it appears that since you cant even complete a, " She hardened her grip,"simple task, I'm just going to have to do it for you."
I darted my sight to my left to see Garnet, face first in the sand with her exposed hands behind her back, she was being held down by the other orange gem's foot directly ontop of both of her gems. Garnet grunted in pain as she wriggled her arms to try to free herself from the gem's pressure. "G-Garnet!" I managed to choke out to her and I turned my face back over to the smirking yellow gem, who was slowly tightening her strong hold. I raised my fist and tried to punch her straight in the face yet, you guessed it, she blocked it again with her other hand and squeezed with unstandable force. I yelped in pain as my knuckles cracked and I reflexively jabbed her stomach with my knee. She didnt let go, or even flinch for that matter, she just narrowed her eyes and applied even more pressure to my neck.
"Tormaline, go find Peridot, do what you must to bring her here. And let Jasper take care of Garnet." The chains on Jasper's wrists seemed to just snap and fall off, she rubbed her hands while looking at the yellow gem. "and Jasper. Dont get any ideas." Jasper nodded at her threat and professionally walked over to the grounded Garnet. The orange gem, known as Tourmaline, nodded and waited for Jasper until she removed her foot from Garnet's scratched gems. Immediately, Garnet jumped up and punched towards Jasper's gem. But Jasper did the same thing the yellow gem infront of me did and she blocked her fist with her larger hand and squeezed, cracking her knuckles as well, while Tourmaline ran off to the temple. "D-dont you...DARE hurt Peridot." I threatened and kicked her stomach with all of my force, throwing her back. Once she lost her grip on my neck, leaving a deep purple mark, I ran full speed after Tormaline, who just reached the door of the house.
I heard the gem growl behind me and I could tell she was chasing me.
Lets just hope she doesn't catch me.
As I neared the door, I felt something thouch my hair, i knew she was right behind me.
C'mon! You need to do this for her! You can't fail now!
I started sprinting harder, I was beginning to push my limits as my feet grew numb. I raced up the steps and slid a bit as I swung open the screen door, just in time to see Tormaline close the temple door to my room.
More than likely Steven and Peridot are hiding in there.
I rushed to temple portion of the room, tripping a bit on the steps. I quickly opened my door and slid in, immediantly closing it behind me. I took off running in a random direction, and I guess everyone was just scattered through out my room, looking for Peridot.

Peridot's POV

Me and Steven were hiding in large piles next to eachother, with a 2 and a half foot long gap inbetween. I could tell he was scared, I think he started to cry at one point. I silently prayed for him not to make any noise, then, I heard the temple door to the room open and close.
They're in.
Oh jeez, what do we do!?
I started to panic, I questioned if I could make it through without shrieking in fear. I heard a sob come from Steven. I wanted to comfort him, but I'd make to much noise. After another loud sob, I knew that he'd endanger us if I didn't try to help.
"S-Steven..." I whispered to him as quietly as I could. "Its going to be o-okay.." I lied. I saw his head turn away as he held back another sob.
"D-Don't worry." I said, getting desparate. "Im sure they can-"
My face turned horrified as I heard footsteps walk right behind where I was hiding.

A/N Hehaha! Wonder who she's gonna find first.
