Killing Me Slowly (Lapidot Human AU)

Chapter 1

(Picture above is what she looks like...just imagine the visor replaced with round glasses👍)

Penelope's POV:

The bell rang, and I walked down the hall of my school, on my way out the double doors. I pushed them open and walked quickly toward the direction of my car. I hear heavy footsteps behind me, and I start walking faster, almost jogging. However, I felt a rough yank on my backpack and I am pulled back to the big, hulking figure behind me. "Where do you think you're going, runt?" The big buff girl says in a booming voice, giving me goosebumps. 

"T-to my car...just please leave me alone..." I mutter, trying to pull from her death grip. "I don't think so - I've got other plans, heheh..." she whispers through gritting teeth, starting to drag me to wherever the hell she was planning to take me. Now, I'm a strong person, but for some reason, I just can't see myself ever standing up to this chick. I don't even know her name, yet she's been bullying me since the 3rd grade - I'm in 12th grade, now.

Her large, meaty hand gripped tighter on me, and I finally yanked with all of my strength away from her. I kick her in the shin, and dash away toward my car. I hear her cursing me out, trying to run after me, but I eventually outrun her, and hop into my car. I close the door, making sure to lock it, and put the key into the ignition.

Yup, this is pretty much how my day ends every day. I'm kind of used to it now, but it still doesn't feel right to be treated this way. I just wanted to live a normal life and have some good friends - things like that. But my friends are actually pretty mean to me to be completely honest. I also get bullied a lot more than I'd prefer. I just wish things were different....psh, who am I kidding? I repeat that in my mind every day yet nothing ever changes. Sigh...

I pull up into my mom's driveway, and turn off the car. As I am walking up to my front door, I could hear distant screaming coming from inside the house. I press my ear against the door, trying to hear more. That's when I realized - that was my mom screaming. I immediately jiggle the key into the door, unlocking it, and bursting into the living room. I drop my backpack and my keys as soon as I see the scene in front of me. 

A short and chubby lavender-haired girl wearing a black leather jacket with stars on the arms was holding a knife to my mother's neck, while a tall dark-skinned woman with an afro wearing similar clothing to the short girl was pinning her arms back. An even taller woman with pink curly hair was standing in front of the three, unaware that I was there. The short girl froze, staring at me with panicking eyes. 

I charged the pink-haired lady with all of my weight and had her on the floor. It took her about 3 seconds to process what was happening. A thin girl with short strawberry blonde hair and a pointy nose came out of nowhere and jumped on top of me. She yanked me off of the pink-haired lady, and pinned me down on the floor. "H-HEY!! LET ME GO!!!" I hollered, squirming as much as I could, trying to escape the girl. 

I eventually shoved the woman off, and stood up quickly. But as soon as I did, I felt a fist connect with my face, sheer pain shooting through my head. I fell back onto my back, looking up at the tall girl with the afro as her fist was raised. I noticed there was a little blood on her fist, and I lightly touched my nose, and looked at my hand - my nose was bleeding. The pink-haired lady stood up, dusted herself off, and looked at the short one with serious eyes. "Take them both out...there can't be any witnesses." she says coldly, before I hear an ear-piercing gunshot.

My heart stopped as I looked over at my mother slowly, watching the blood spill down her chest. Her face was expressionless, and her hand was gripped over the wound. But a few moments later, her hand went limp, and her eyes closed. My mom was dead. "NOOOO!!!" I shouted with all of the energy left inside me, and before I knew it, the skinny one walked up to me, pointing her gun at my head. I shut my eyes tightly, preparing for my fate...SLAM!!!!

My eyes shot open as I heard the door burst open once more. My vision started to blur, but from what I saw, two short, but muscular, women with puffy hair walked in with baseball bats, ready to kick ass. My head fell back and my eyes closed, only being able to hear distant noises like gunshots, cracks, whacks, and loud thumps. After what felt like forever, I felt large hands grab each of my arms, and drag me out the door. And that's when I blacked out. 

....

I woke up in a dark room, and I was laying on a stiff bed. I sat up slowly, holding my head, cringing at the sudden throbbing. But I also felt a bandage on my nose. I noticed that my glasses were gone and I couldn't see a thing. Suddenly, the heavy steel door pushed open, and in walked a tall and intimidating woman with a huge mane of long blonde hair. She had huge muscles, and she seemed to have some type of skin pigmentation disorder because of the random light patches of skin on her tan skin. "Good. You're awake. The boss will wanna see you." She says, gesturing for me to follow her. 

I slowly hopped off of the bed, rubbed my back, and started following closely behind.

A/N: So what'd you think of the first chapter? Now I know Rose and the crystal gems would never do something this sinister canonically, but I decided to add a little dark twist to their personalities to change the story up a little bit. I have a lot planned for this story, and I'll be updating as often as I can :) let me know your opinion in the comments below! 'K bye! 😆
