This night couldn't possibly get anymore hectic than it is right now. I can't believe Yellow has been stalking me this whole time! But how on Earth did she track me down? Wait, didn't she mention tracking devices? But...
how did she...?!

No. She couldn't have. Was she there during that night right after she took over the barn? I widen my eyes as I continue to gasp for breath in the tunnel of light. What did she do to me? Where's the device? I need to get rid of it! I need to hide myself! But...how?!

I put a hand out and I appear at the barn. I gasp as I spot a figure in the distance. "Lapis!" Lapis backs away and she starts running. I glare at her as I hurry after her in pursuit. I pant as she dashes down the fields on her blue bare feet.

She makes a turn towards the lake. I have to warn her before it's too late. I can't let her leave my sight! I grit my teeth as I pick up the pace. She doesn't hesitate as she heads right for the water. She doesn't look back as she steps into it. "No!"

I make my way towards the lake as she dives in. With a splash...and a ripple...she's gone. I skid to an abrupt stop at the edge of the lake. I plant my feet in the grass as I glare at the lake. "So this is the game we're gonna play then, huh?"

I take off my shoes once more the same exact way I did over at the beach. I also take off the coat and I leave it beside them. I step into the cold water, causing a ripple on the surface. I proceed as the water gets deeper. I wade in until I am shoulder deep. I peer down at my reflection.

"Why are you running away, Lapis? I just wanted to warn you. I wanted to warn you that a certain somebody just took whatever freedom you had left away from you! Someone is now after you and guess whose fault that is?! That's right, Lapis. It's mine."

I smirk. "I did it. And I bet you were just looking for Jasper too, weren't you? Well guess what? She's gone too. I led her away from this barn along with Bismuth to go into hiding. You'll probably never see her ever again. And it's all thanks to me." I hiss at her through clenched teeth.

"Because you are going to join her. You are going to join your other ex-girlfriend Peridot who willingly chose me over you and she payed the ultimate price for it. Hurts, doesn't it?" I smirk. "You never had a chance with her. You are nothing more than a low, cowardious, selfish piece of dirt."

I raise a fist from the water. "You just love to hide down there, don't you? That's a shame. I thought that a powerful Gem such as yourself would actually take charge and not let everything fall apart the way it did. It may have been my fault, but you are just as guilty as me for letting me in."

I pound the water, causing a splash on the surface. My eyes narrow as I smile. "You want me, Lapis? Come on, water witch, come and get me. I can handle whatever you are willing to do with me for your revenge. I doubt it will be any better than what I did to you." I chuckle.

"You want me to tell you something?" I glare down at her. "There may have been others, but above all, I hate YOU. I couldn't hate you more. You forced me into confessing my secret! And you thought it was funny to just take me out while I was taking a nice, long swim in your pool."

I notice a slight ripple. "You couldn't imagine how embarrassing that was. You started all of this. I just wanted a new beginning. I never asked for any of this! You did! You wanted this to happen just to make me feel miserable! I tried to make amends with you and I tried to help you."

The surface ripples a few more times. "But you turned me away. Now, I just want to hurt you. I want to destroy you, Lapis. But I bet you couldn't do that either, huh? You may be strong and powerful, but you are just pathetic. I'm giving you one last chance to take your revenge."

I wait a moment. "Fine." I turn away and I start heading back to shore. Suddenly, I feel something latch onto me. I widen my eyes and I smile. The next moment, I drop down below the surface of the water with a splash.
