Future Fantasy

Escaped

- Amethyst's POV -

The last time I saw pearl, she was badly injured. Her legs are badly scratched, jagged parts of glass stick out of them. She must've been putting her feet up against the glove box or something. At least her legs blocked them from coming into her face, and protected her head from banging on something.

Apparently, Peridot explained to me in the officer's car that if she hadn't been there to block Lapis, that Lapis could've died. She looked like she's dead. She doesn't have any cuts, Peridot saved her from that, but she probably has a concussion. Things may be worse for her, since she's so damn skinny.

I can't believe I'm back. I'm so stunned I don't know what to do. During the car ride, I plan in my head what I'll do next.

- Peridot's POV -

"Log date, 8-15-1000. Corundum Peridot here. It's been three days since my Quartz Soldiers retrieved me from the witches. I have to give a speech about all the 'horrible' things they did to me. News for them, I'm not going to. I wrote my own speech! HAHAHA! They'll never suspect a thing! Peridot out." I put the tape recorder in my top secret hiding place--underneath my pillow--and walk to the entrance of the castle where I will give my speech.

- Lapis' POV -

All the witches in the kindergarten gather in one big room to watch the corundum's speech. I listen to the first sentence she says, and I'm already not convinced. 

"She got badly injured in the crash," Steven tells me.

"How? She was in the back seat the whole time," I deny.

"She didn't want me to tell you."

All I can say is,"Hm."

Peridot's probably going to get punished for what she said. She said she wanted humans and witches to unite. 

We leave today. We're going back to the Capital back to our kindergarten.

The car ride is silent, until Steven asks,"Can you turn on the radio?"

Every channel is news reporters babbling about Peridot's speech. One catches his attention, and he orders to stop. The news reporter is talking about what they think will happen to Corundum Peridot,"She's definitely going to get executed. Yellow Diamond has no tolerance for people that're pro-witch." Every channel says the same thing. Just people talking on and on, saying how Amethyst will be the next Diamond. They're saying that she'll be an even worse Diamond than Peridot, by recalling several times she did something outrageous. 

"We can't let her be executed!" Steven yells.

"We'll work something out once we get to the kindergarten," Pearl responds. Her voice is a little shaky.
