Doors
I turn the knob on the front door and I push it open. Once I step out onto the porch, I turn to door. I grab the knob and I pull until it snaps shut. I then turn back to the gray skies with the rain pouring down ahead of me.
I step into the gloom and I sulk down the fields, alone. There is no signs of life anywhere for my decision has caused me to enter a completely different reality parallel to the one I once was a part of.
I need to leave this burden and I must find some light. I need to go somewhere to relax. I notice the warp pad about a mile away from where I stand. I head towards it for no one is around to stop me.
I plant my feet on its clear, flat crystal surface. I look down at my reflection and then I look back up at the barn. I sigh and I warp away. Inside the tunnel of light, I can feel a part of myself being carried away by the surge of energy that surrounds me.
Moments later, I arrive inside the temple. I walk on the burned, broken wood towards the door. I've never actually saw the effects of what I've done until now. Every last bit of this place is damaged.
I face the couch that Pearl and I shared our kiss of confession the very night before everything started falling apart. A tear slips out of my left eye. I look up at Steven's room. A piece of the roof crashes onto the bed. I turn away from it all and I head to the front door.
A voice echoes from within. "It's all your fault." I gasp and I turn to face the warp pad. No one else is around. I press a hand to my forehead. "It always has been." I turn back to the door. "Every door you open only leads to more trouble." I grit my teeth.
I grip the handle and I push it. I exit the temple and I look back as I push the door until it snaps into place. "And every door you close only seals fate." I let go of the handle and I ball my hands into fists. "WHOSE SAYING THAT?!" I quickly turn around with my teeth clenching in my anguish.
"You really think it is MY fault?" I gasp. "Eloc?" I clutch my chest as I pant, widening my eyes. "It was never my fault. None if it was."
"THAT'S A LIE!" I groan as I clutch my forehead. I collapse on my knees. "You shattered Peridot!"
"I shattered Peridot? No, Amethyst. WE shattered Peridot together."
"What are you talking about?!"
"Don't you get it? We are a team you and I. A fusion of masterminds with a defective body, screaming to break free!"
"We are NOT a team! We are complete and total opposites!"
"And opposites attract. We disagree to agree. We are fire and ice. We are two worlds, two universes melded into one being! We may be different but we are more similar than you can imagine!"
"What?"
"An opposite relationship is the best kind of them all. Our differences are what causes us to indulge in our similarities. Why else would I choose to be with you? I gave up my legacy for you and I knew that I would be destroyed, trapped in your mind."
I raise my eyebrow. "I don't get it."
"You don't have to get anything. It's quite obvious actually. None of this is of your intent? No. This is of OUR intent! You are just like me! And I am so much like you! You want to be powerful and I want to be powerful. Why do we fight for all this power?"
"Because I hate you and I don't want anything to do with you!"
"Oh really? Amethyst, you were mine from the very beginning. You have EVERYTHING to do with me! And aren't we a lot like Malachite?"
"NO! STOP!" I slam my hand onto the wood of the porch.
"I have brought you my power and you have given me yours. We must share this power equally. Come on, Amethyst. Let us stop this tomfoolery and actually be something extroadinary and unstoppable!"
"ENOUGH!" I tumble down the stairs and I hit the ground.
