(Narrator's POV)
Connie was fearing for her life. While she was normally bold and fearless, the girl was now terrified as she was not only in the deadly grasp of her ex boyfriend who many believed to have died, but the fact that he had killed her current one in cold blood!
"So then:Where is she?" Steven snarled as tears filled Connie's terrified eyes.
"She? Who on Earth do you mean, Steven?!? Why are you doing thisssAHHHHHGHH!!" Connie screamed as Steven used his free hand to wrench Connie's wrist.
"I'm the one asking the questions here. You know who I mean. Now answer me before I conveniently forget that I used to care about you." Steven growled as Connie realized who he meant, scaring her even more!
"Steven, I swear on my life: I had nothing to do with whatever happened to you! When Pearl and the others told me you had died, what was I supposed to think?!? I didn't know they were lying!!" Connie pleaded as Steven just glared at her. He was losing his patience with his ex girlfriend with every tear that fell from her eyes.
"It certainly didn't take you long to forget about me. How's that new boyfriend of yours? Jeff, right? Sure would like to meet him...oh wait. That's right." Steven said with a chuckle as he began to use the severed head of Connie's now dead boyfriend Jeff like a ventriloquist's dummy and began to taunt the frightened woman.
"Gee, Connie. You assumed Steven was dead without looking deeper into it? That's not using your HEAD!" Steven said in a mock voice as he moved Jeff's jaw like a dummy.
"Steven, please stop!" Connie begged. What had Steven become?!? Why has this happened to him?!?
"Sure sucks to be dead now! Guess I'll never get aHEAD in life!" Steven mocked as Connie sobbed even more She knew he was going to torture her until she broke.
"Steven, I'm begging you! Stop!! I know you're angry, but this is just psychotic!! If you have a problem with me, why did Jeff have to be killed?!?" Connie screamed with tears in her eyes.
"Oh Connie. You really don't get it do you? Wow. How I ever dated such an ignorant twat is a real HEADscratcher!" Steven said in the mock voice yet again as he kept up his "Ventriloquist from Hell" act, tormenting Connie even more.
Soon growing bored and thinking he wasn't getting anywhere, Steven tossed Jeff's severed head aside and switched arms, now using his non corrupted arm to grasp Connie by the neck.
"Well. Since you don't want to tell me what I want to know, I don't need you." The hybrid said in a dark voice as he formed his claw, ready to end Connie's life.
"Before you kill me, let me show you something, Steven." Connie said as she struggled and reached her shaking and scarred hand in her pocket and pulled out a bloody wedding ring.
"What? Did Jeff propose to you? You're just asking me to kill you at this point, aren't you?" Steven growled.
"No. This wasn't mine. This...was my Mom's. The reason you saw the bodies of my Mom and Dad? They were killed." Connie tearfully explained.
"Killed by who? They were dead when I got here. And I doubt anyone in town other than the Gems could do a killing like that." Steven asked as Connie sighed.
"Not long after you had "died", I was on a date with Jeff. I had no idea I was being watched. When I got home, Pearl was there with Garnet and Amethyst. And Pearl was saying how I was to be taken in AKA imprisoned in this place where they keep humans who break their "laws". Naturally, it was a bunch of crap so I refused." Connie explained.
"Great. Pearl sees herself as a lawmaker now. And I'm guessing she didn't take that answer too well." Steven said cynically. He really had lost the ability to give a fuck.
"They not only killed them as an example. They made me watch. THEY MADE ME WATCH, STEVEN!!" Connie yelled.
But Steven was unfazed by the girl's pain. To him, Connie brought it all on herself.
"They kept me in that place for 5 years. I just got released yesterday. And all I had to welcome me home was my parents now decayed bodies." Connie said tearfully.
"And? You trusted Pearl. You made your bed. Now lie in it. You were her lapdog. Her teacher's pet. Such is the fate of a lapdog once its owner grows tired of it. Face it: Pearl was your master. You were her pet. So whatever she did to you? Blame on your own stupidity." Steven snarled.
"I'll let that go and say this: I want to take her down. Let me help you." Connie said.
"What? No way. Why should I trust you? For all I know, you may have gotten out early on good behavior after making a deal with Pearl. Trusting you means an inevitable knife in my back." Steven snapped.
"Have you been listening?!? Pearl killed my fucking parents! I've got plenty of reason to want to see her taken down! And I have info on the place I was locked up in. While there I heard a lot of different things that could help us out. We both want the same thing, Steven." Connie said as Steven thought it over.
"Hmph. Fine. But I'll warn you now: If there's any idea of betrayal in your mind? Take a look at what happened to Jeff, then multiply it by 100. That's a taste of what'll happen to you, got it?" Steven snapped as Connie nodded.
"I'm going to make things right. 5 years ago, I was a stupid girl. Now I'm a woman who knows better. I took the coward's way out before. Never again. I know it doesn't mean much, but....I hope I can make things right with you as well, Steven." She said as Steven just gave her a look.
This was going to be an uneasy partnership for sure.
Looks like Steven and Connie have formed a shaky alliance. See ya next chapter!
