"Steven? Steven!" The boy heard a voice call from the darkness that swallowed him whole.
He opened his blurry eyes to see a woman with a large stone imbedded into her forehead and pale pink hair.
Pearl.
He turned his head to the other side to see pink fire and smoke, and a large injector with pink fluid pumping itself into the Earth's soil.
What.. happened?
He turned back to Pearl, who was now calling for someone. She turned back to Steven, a soft expression planted on her face.
"Oh, Steven. I'm so glad you're awake. Do you feel okay? Are you hurt?" She asked, caressing his face in a motherly manner.
"Y-yeah.." He croaked out. He noticed his throat hurt.
A lot.
He turned his head to the other side, only to have Pearl's hand turn his head back to her.
"Please, don't look." She said, tears slightly forming in her eyes.
He gave her a questionable look, but obeyed her request anyways.
Pearl started to ask him questions, like if he remebered his name, the state he lived in, even her name. He all answered correctly, making Pearl happy everytime he did.
She started to hum to him, which was pretty odd. Maybe she was just trying to keep him calm. And it was nice anyways.
He started to drift off to sleep, when a voice that wasn't Pearl's called to him.
Pearl immediately stopped humming. Instead, it was replaced by slightly choked sobs.
"Pearl..?" He asked her, facing towards the gem holding him.
She was crying, looking at something behind him.
"Pearl!" He yelled at her, but she didn't listen.
He turned to whatever she was crying at, only to be returned by a stare exactly like his.
His.. gem.
