The Bookworm {Jasper X Reader}

The Water

Sweat was running down your forehead as Lapis stared at you. You knew what she was capable of and you certainly didn't want to have an argument with her. Or a fight for that matter.

"L-listen, Lapis." you begun, your voice shaky. You were clutching Jasper's hand and it was apparent you were very frightened of the powerful gem. You were also glad an another powerful gem was standing beside you.

"I didn't know you two... had something..."

That was a lie and you all knew it. Jasper's past was the first thing Steven explained when she moved in with you. You were well aware of Malachite and her corruption. That was one of the reasons why you decided to allow her in, you felt really sorry for her.

"I really didn't want to stand between you two... I'm sor-"

"Don't tell her you're sorry, (y/n). You can't come between us, because there's nothing left there." and with that, Jasper turned around and started walking away, dragging you behind her.

You threw one last glance at the blue gem, who was staring down at the ground, her hair partially covering her face. She seemed really hurt.

Suddenly, you couldn't move further.

You yelped and looked down at your body. A stream of water coming from the nearby ocean wrapped around your waist, holding you in place.

Panic started to settle in as you were lifted off the ground, water soaking your clothes completely. Jasper tried to hold you down by your hand, but you slipped away.

"Lapis! Stop! I'm sorry! Put me down please!"

You were shouting apologies frantically, trying to pry yourself free from the blue gem's grasp, but to no avail.

You saw Jasper walking towards her in a menacing manner, clearly hearing her crack her knuckles.

"Lapis." she growled "Let her down now and we can just talk about it."

"No! She stole you from me! If it wasn't for her, we could be together again!"

"Lapis. Don't make me fight you. Let's settle this peacefully."

But Lapis didn't listen. She was staring directly at you now.

"And if she gets out of our life forever..."

"What are you saying!?"

"Everything will be alright again."

You felt the water stream tighten around your body. Then it started to crawl up your chest, so it was really hard to breathe. And as it continued higher, you started gasping for air more and more.

Jasper didn't waste any time now when she saw there's a chance of you dying. In one flash of light her helmet was on and she charged towards Lapis. She dodged, but lost concentration, the water loosened around you, allowing you to breathe more easily.

Jasper growled in rage and tried again. And again. And again.

Lapis seemed to be hesitant to lash against Jasper, only dodging her attempts on hurting her. However, she was clearly annoyed by how long it took to crush you, as she was constantly forced to drop her focus.

She sighed in frustration and in one swift flick of her wrist, another mass of water came flying towards you. It wrapped around your head, in a clear attempt to drown you. You struggled even more to free yourself.

You heard Jasper yelling something and Lapis respond, but because of the water around your head, you didn't know what it was. It definitely sounded angry though.

You felt your consciousness slowly slipping when there wasn't enough oxygen in your body anymore. You tried to free yourself once again, but your muscles were very weak.

Just as you started to faint and fall asleep, you heard a loud, sharp sound and a sudden gust of wind.

Then you fell. Literally.
