Black Rain, Stevidot

Chapter 17

The third pic in the video wtf (0~0) you know, for some reason when using emojis I always use the yellow skin tone instead of white or black, because I feel that skin tone doesn't really matter. White, black, Mexican, they're all equal. Also, the reason Peridot glitches instead of doing what amethyst did that one episode is I think that gems all have a different way of being cracked and stuff. Idk. I think you know what I mean... Btw the reason Emerald doesn't poof Peridot is that she doesn't know whether or not she is authorized to do so. Yellow Diamond gave her orders to poof the crystal gems and any other gem that stands in the way. She never said to poof Peridot or not. ONTO THE STORY!

Peridot's pov💚~

I looked over at the gem who spoke. My left eye glitches and I can no longer see properly. I look up anyway with my right eye. I catch sight of Steven, who is writhing and yelling at the gem in front of me. His hands are tied and his eyes are covered. The unfamiliar gem cups my chin and forces me to look straight at her.
"So, traitor, you went ahead and did my job for me? This day just keeps getting easier!" The gem smiled joyfully, but sadistically. "Hybrid!" The gem hissed, and the vine holding Steven back that was sprouted from the ground started to move, dragging him along.

The leaf was uncovered from his eyes, and he screamed "Peridot!" When he saw me. I saw water come out of his eyes. "Heal her, hybrid." The gem commanded. Steven licked his hand and pressed it to my gem. I just sat there limply, without a care. I saw a flash as my gem glowed and was healed. My whole body was glowing lightly, but it faded away. I blinked as I regained the sight in my left eye and the glitching went away.

     "Who are you?" I asked the gem who commanded Steven to heal me. "I'm an Emerald." She replied briefly before another vine shot out of the ground and wrapped around my wrist. Earth plants must be her weapon. I glanced at Steven, wincing as I saw him try to hide that he was staring at me. Emerald lead, no, dragged is to small one-gem ship (but it had a little extra room, probably so we would fit) in the middle of the deep woods. That should've been hard to land.

      "Get in." She commanded as the yellow, circular ship opened up on one side. The vines disappeared underground, letting us go so we could get in. I got in first and crammed myself against the curving wall. Steven got in and sat next to me. Emerald hopped in and put her hands on the control board. As she started to fly the other crystal gems, Jasper, and Lapis fell out of her pocket. Steven leaned forward to poke one of them. He leaned back into his normal position. 

      "Peridot? Why did you run away? I was so scared... Did you run away because you were scared?" Steven's voice cracked as he asked me these questions. "Y-yes..." I said after a while. "Of Keito? He ran away, he isn't a problem anymore. He might be to someone else though." Steven told me, pulling me closer so he could hug me. "I wasn't scared of Keito! H-he didn't even... He's not scary, just a bit obsessive."

"Then what were you scared of?"
