A House Divided

Phase Six

Lapis's P.O.V.

I cringed as I outlined another cut on my arm. My finger nail wasn't that long, nor was it that sharp, but it still gave off a burning sensation on my wrist when I slowly slid it across. I smiled at the feeling and keep going.

This time there was no blood and no large cuts. Just a few minor scraps dotted my wrists. I knew it wasn't enough but it did help me relax. I laid down on the ocean of soft blue sheets and blankets.

It was nice and warm. Perfect and comfy. I smiled again softly as I closed my eyes. I drifted off to sleep. My wrists werestill burning, and I let the fire take over.

Softly, I awoke. I had turned over so I was laying on my back. I tried to move but a large metal hand held me down. My body froze as I stared at the door. It was wide open and a trail of dark blood crawled its way from the doorway all the way down to the other side of my bed.

"Look who woke up, finally." Maxwell stated, ripping off the back of my clothes. I screamed as he unhooked my bra.

"PLEASE! DON'T KILL ME! D-DON'T TOUCH ME!" I screamed as a hand came over my mouth. Tears streamed down my face as Maxwell cut away at my flesh in my back. It hurt and I screamed over and over again. And yet no one came to help.

"Shut up!" Maxwell yelled as he could hear people stirring in the other rooms.

I didn't listen as I cried, I screamed again and again. "Shut up before I make you pay...." Maxwell stated, hitting my head. There was a small snap and my skull cracked, forcing me to black out.

I cried in my darkness. I had cut myself again and again but the knife still didn't drip my blood. Peridot cried as I tried to cut another line, one more appearing on her wrist. She broke down, crying and telling me to stop.

But, I couldn't stop. I didn't know how. For the longest time I held the knife on my wrist before I made another cut. This one on Jasper. "L-Lapis Stop! You need to stop! It hurts us when you do this." Jasper yelled as her blood fell to the ground, mixing with Peridots.

I tried cutting my face but everywhere I cut marks. Not even one scratch on me. I fell to my knees as I tried to cut my throat open, to end it all.

Jasper and Peridot fell to the ground next to me. Their throats cut wide open, bleeding and choking on there own blood. I cried hard as Jasper placed a hand on my knee, looking into my eyes, her breathing becoming more forced and ragged. "Y-You're okay Lapis....We l-love you st-still..." Jasper said placing a bloody kiss on a dead Peridot's head and my cheek.

She cried, tears cascading down her face. Her breathing slowed as Jasper died. Leaving me alone in my darkness.....

I woke up with a panting breath. My head stitched up and my back wrapped in bandages.

"You're a sad child...Mmmm....I feel your pain...I could feel your body tense up as you cried....You're filled with sorrow....That's why you have a teardrop cut gem...." Maxwell stated, kissing the top of my head and slowly walking out. Leaving me confused, hurt, and terrified....
