Humming
I lay down on the train with my coat and my shoes off. I blink as I watch the sun set over the valley. I hear humming. I raise my eyebrow and I move closer towards the edge to listen to it.
I can tell since Garnet and I are the only ones on board, that it has to be her. She's humming a tune that I've never heard before.
"Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm."
I take in what she's humming as she breaks out into song.
We are here right now.
Look at what you've become.
Is it only me?
Why can't I see clearly?
It starts with a reason
To have you cause treason.
It's fueled by love or hate
To put you on the plate.
Whatever the reason why
It cannot be your guide.
You have to let go of this
Change of heart.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
It turns your heart to stone.
You step up to your throne.
You don't get what's wrong.
You just think it's fine.
Who is the catalyst?
Could it be Amethyst?
You may think that's so.
But I show what I know.
Whatever the reason why
It cannot be your guide.
You have to let go of this
Change of heart.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
I sense something strong
Lurking beneath your gem.
I fear what you've become.
Remember where you're from.
Soon you meet will your
Fitting fate.
Is it too late?
For you to change yourself?
Whatever the reason why
It cannot be your guide.
You have to let go of this
Change of heart.
She pauses.
"Only you can save.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Only you can change.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmm.
You.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hm.
Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm-hmmm."
I hear her sob and sniff as I look down at myself. I close my eyes as I let go of the handle. I notice something in the distance. It's a canyon with a dark atmosphere around it covered in fog. The Prime Kindergarten! Lapis!
I look up to see Garnet's foot hanging over the box car as it points to the Kindergarten. How am I going to get off this train? I grimace as the Kindergarten starts to fade. I'll need to make a run for it.
I look back at my leftover clothes one more time. I shake my head. "I'm not coming back for you this time." I turn away from them and I jump out of the car. I land on the ground and I turn my head in Garnet's direction.
She isn't looking at me. She isn't paying any attention to me. With a sigh, I dart towards the Kindergarten. I'm coming, Lapis! I pant as the sky transitions from its sunset to the dark, foggy atmosphere of the Kindergarten. "Lapis?! Lapis, where are you?!"
I hear a groan from nearby and I gasp as I rush over in its direction. I see Lapis lying on her back, staring up at the sky with a frown on her face. I embrace her as I pick her up by the back, bring her head towards me.
Lapis gasps as I do just that. "A-Amethyst?! No! Go away! I don't want to see you anymore! And you don't want to see me! Just-!" I bring my lips into hers and I shush her. "Shut up." I do it again and Lapis embraces me back.
She shakes her head as I pull away. "Amethyst, this isn't right. Look at us! What are we even doing with ourselves?! Don't you have a Ruby that you love just much as me?! I...I don't understand why you do the things you do, Amethyst."
I chuckle. "Don't worry about all of that. Just worry about your safety and we'll understand each other. I can assure you that as long as we have each other by our side, then we'll be together as one.
