================================================================================
Today is our first Soup Group meeting since Impulse and Pearl got back! I can't wait to tell them what I was doing while they were gone!
<You whispered to ImpulseSV:
Hey! You ready?>
<ImpulseSV whispered to you:
Totally! Meet up at my base?>
<You whispered to ImpulseSV:
That works! I'll let Pearl know!>
<You whispered to PearlescentMoon:
Pearly! We are meeting up at Impulse's base! See you in 5!>
"Oh, normally Pearl responds immediately. She's probably crafting up a bunch of soup!" I thought to myself. I start grabbing some building blocks and some torches. "You can never be too careful!" I exclaim. After packing, I jumped off my balcony and started flying over to Impulse's base.
I come into Impulse's view and I start waving. He doesn't wave back, instead, he points somewhere out of my vision. I looked over to where he pointed, and I realized a second too late that I'm about to run into a tree.
"Crap!" I yell as I fly into the tree. I fall, and I hear Impulse laughing. "Shut up!" I screamed sarcastically to Impulse. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Impulse says while trying not to giggle. I push myself off of the ground and start walking toward Impulse.
"Have you heard from Pearl? Normally she's the first one here!" Impulse asked. "She's probably crafting soup," I responded, "You know how she is!". "Yeah, you're right. Let's give her a few minutes! She'll show up!" Impulse says.
Me and Impulse are just chatting when Impulse abruptly says, "Pearl still hasn't shown up. Should we ask if anyone else has seen her?". "I'll ask," I say.
<GeminiTay
Has anyone seen Pearl? She hasn't shown up to the Soup Group meeting yet.>
<MumboJumbo
Haven't seen her, sorry!>
<FalseSymmetry
Nope>
<JoeHills
Me neither.>
<XisumaVoid
I'll check her stats.>
I nervously fumble with my communicator. "Hey, she'll be okay!" Impulse says reassuringly. "I hope," I respond.
<XisumaVoid
I can't get anything on her. Location too. Server says she's online, tho. Everyone, server-wide search, now.>
<Grian
On it>
<DocM77
Me too.>
<StressMonster101
Looking now>
<GeminiTay
I'm on Pearl's house.>
"I'm going." I say before flying off. I hear Impulse say something, but I don't care enough to know what he's saying.
A minute later, I'm at Pearl's house. My communicator keeps buzzing, but I can't check. I don't want to check. I knock on Pearl's door, but I get no response. The door's locked, but I force my way in. I hear something fall on the ground. "Pearl?" I say, not knowing if I'll get a response. I quickly make my way up the stairs, and I see a razor on the floor about 20 feet away from me. The bathroom door is open, and I hastily make my way to the bathroom. There is a giant mess, but no Pearl. I make my way to her bedroom, but the door is closed. I open the door, but again, no Pearl. "Pearl please," I say under my breath.
Something clatters on the ground. It's coming from the kitchen. I practically run towards the kitchen. I see red. I see a knife on the floor, in a puddle of blood. "Pearl..." I say. I look up and I see Pearl, with cuts all over her arm. She's slumped up on a cabinet, with her hands open. I think she sees me, but then, her eyes go blank.
<GeminiTay
Doc Stress, Pearl's house, NOW!>
<GeminiTay
BRING MEDICAL SUPPLIES>
<DocM77
Shit! On it!>
<StressMonster101
On my way!>
I basically throw my communicator away. I kneel down, not caring about my now blood-stained clothes. "Pearl, no." I quietly say. I put my head on her chest. I can't move anymore. I start crying. I don't care I'm covered in blood, in her blood. I'm crying so hard I don't even hear someone coming up the stairs.
"Is she okay- Oh god," Doc says. I can't let go of her. "Gem, I need you to move," Doc says to me quietly. I finally get something out of my mouth, "Pearl please, please, I need you," I whisper. I can barely hear myself. I think Doc realizes I won't move because he kneels down on the other side of Pearl. He pulls Pearl's arm over to him so he can start treating her wounds.
"Doc, Gem?" I hear a voice say. "Up here!" Doc shouts back. There's thumping on the stairs. "Oh, Pearl..." Stress says. "Can you pull Gem away? It's hard to treat Pearl like this." Doc says to Stress. "On it." Stress responds. I feel a pair of hands on my sides. "No, no, no, no! I can't leave her! It's my fault!" I cry out. "Gem, it's okay. You're okay." Stress says quietly into my ear. "I can't... I love her! I can't leave..." I sob. I'm clinging to her shoulder, only because Doc has her bleeding arm. "Message X, maybe he can get her off of her," Doc says. "Alright." Stress responds. I know that Stress is messaging X because I can no longer feel her hands on me.

X, we need you. Gem won't let go of Pearl.>

Gem's POV
I don't know what Stress said, but X showed up almost immediately. I'm crying so hard I don't even hear X rushing up the stairs. "Gem, you need to move, please." X says. I can't respond, I just cry harder. He can tell I won't move as he picks me up and moves me away from Pearl. "NO, NO, NO!" I yell as I'm thrashing in X's arms. Somehow, he carries me downstairs. "Please let me be with her! Please! I need to..." I say, starting to give up. He turns me so I'm facing him and he sits on the couch. "Please..." I say with tears coming out of my eyes. "It's alright... It's going to be okay." X whispers in my ear. I'm squeezing X as hard as I can while crying into his shoulder.
"Shit! We need to get Pearl t..." I hear Doc say before X covers my ears. He puts his helmet on me, but I don't really know why. The helmet keeps me from hearing anything. I try to turn my head, but X stops me. I scream. I scream as loud as I can. I don't know what's happening anymore. "Let me go! I need to be with her! I need to!" I yell, but he doesn't let me move. I can't hear what he's saying, but I don't care. I don't care if he's saying sorry or if he's comforting me. "I need to know! I need to!" I cry. I feel something push against my head, and then I hear something click. Something cool is blowing onto my face. "X, what are you doing? Let me go!" I scream. My body starts to relax, but I don't want it to. I'm thrashing in his grasp as hard as I can. I try to get his helmet off of me, but it won't come off. I start to slow down. I stop moving, but I need to get up. X finally takes his helmet off of me. "I'm sorry, Gem." I hear him say before I black out.
