It was now very late at night, connie and peedee had left hours ago and steven was alone in his room. He sat on the floor, at the corner of his bed, he was still focused on that pamphlet he was given, it was all he could think about.

He opened the pamphlet, at the top of the left page, there was a portrait of Ronaldo, the man who had given it  to steven, he looked like peedee, but older, slightly more chubby and with glasses. under the portrait it read in small red text, so small it was quite difficult for steven to read,"investigative journalist for shashkyankyki International and founder of keep beach city gem-free, Ronaldo fryman".

Under the image of ronaldo and its description, it read in bold: "for years now, I have been investigating the many bizzare incidents that effect the small town of beach city. During these years of heavy analysis and constant searching I have came to the conclusion that these strange happenings that effect our small town are caused by none other than the race of the diamond gem people, the ones our great first priest, the honourable lord shashkyankyki, preached of. The existence of these diamond gem people has been an open secret among my small hometown, and I, being an honourable follower of shashkyankyki International, have vowed to share this info worldwide!"

"what is this!? Some sort of anti-gem group!?", Steven thought as he read on, for some reason ever since he first saw the pamphlet he was obessed with what ever this shashkyankyki thing reallly was. He kept his phone next to him. He knew he'd need to be doing a lot of research after he read this, he picked up his phone and turned it on. In his dark room, it was extremely bright, messing with his eyes for a second. He looked back at the pamphlet to make sure he spelt it right and typed in "what is shashkyankyki", into Google, before the result came up he put the phone back down and went back to reading, he'd read the whole thing before he started fully looking into it online.

The pamphlet continued, reading, "The diamond gem people have been inhabiting not just this small town but the entire planet for (according to honorable lord shashkyankyki in his 6th book, on the blue diamond) 5000-6000 years, many historical records prove this, many of them proving the evil actions of these beings and their effects on human beings. To those citizens of Beach City who may be reading this, I have a plea. If you spot one of these diamond gem persons, please report to this number and shashkyankyki International's official website", it then gave a link to the website along with a phone number.

Steven kept the pamphlet open so he could see the link and shone the light of his phone on it to make sure he read it correctly. He first read the results for his searches before he'd type in the link. "shashkyankyki is a religious group founded by self proclaimed new age priest and "one true prophet" Alastair changbo or as he's known by his followers, Lord shashkyankyki", google read, "So it is some sort of gem cult", Steven said, looking at the photo of their founder, a man with silver hair and a beard, wearing some sort of blue robe and headdress, he looked quite ridiculous.

Steven got up and walked out of his room. He knew his father had a computer somewhere maybe that would help him with this research and would be much easier to look at compared to his small phone. Steven read more as he tried to find the computer, he didn't want to turn any lights on,it made him feel guilty and that he was wasting power so he kept the house in nearly complete darkness, he didn't want his dad to have to pay a lot when he gets back.

"After supposed claims of seeing a 'blue diamond woman', changbo started preaching of the existence of a race of gem people, quickly gaining followers. In his first book, titled, the guide of conducting yourself around a gem, Alastair (now going by the priestly title of shashkyankyki, which shares the name with the movement), claims there are many times of gems that live among us and effect how we live our lives, most of these gems being violent ones, only pure, so called diamond types of these gem people, are kind and loving but must have their love earned through sacrifice via public burnt offerings of animals, expensive food and drink and even clothes."

Steven finally found the computer, it was in a small room inside his father's bedroom, it was on a desk with a small chair next to it. Steven sat down on the chair and started looking for ronaldo's website. It was difficult to concentrate as he was also reading up on the cult with his phone. He was able to find the site quite quickly, along with articles warning of its "violent cultic threats", Steven gulped before he clicked on it, fearing what he'd see, it seemed to be a very infamous website.

The entire blog consisted of nonsensical claims of random things ronaldo found as being "gem themed" and even supposed images of gems. When steven clicked to see those supposed gem photos he froze. All the images where of him, pearl his mother and even the crystal gems, he felt shivers go down his spine,  there where hundreds of photos of steven, and probably thousands of the crystal gems, he started to read what was written under the images, especially what was written about him and blue.

"The tall blue woman has the famous features of the great devi blue diamond that our Lord,  the great honourable shashkyankyki worked as the prophet of.", Steven raised an eyebrow, "what is this crazy guy on about now", he thought, he then went to see what ronaldo said about him. "she brings everywhere with her a small and strange child, his features are too human to be gem but too gem to be human, could this boy be a so called halfling that the honourable, lord shashkyankyki commanded must be hunted down, striked and sacrificed in and instant?". "WHAT!?", Steven yelled, quickly covering his mouth after because of how late it was, he checked the time then frantically texted peedee and connie, he knew they'd both be asleep but this was urgent, could this Ronaldo be planning to kill him!?

Steven couldn't research anymore, he tried to go to sleep and relax but couldn't, he was terrified he was in danger. he spent the rest of the night in his bed wide awake, convinced ronaldo was going to break in and try to attack him, he even thought of waiting by the door with his scythe ready to fight off his possible attacker.
