Chapter 37: Narrow Escape

"The time is almost here, My little Y/n," Rose Quartz told, "Are you prepared?"

"Of course," Y/n nodded

"Do you know what you are going up against?" Rose Quartz asked

"No, but I'm sure we can handle it," Y/n said

"This threat is something unlike you have faced before," Rose Quartz told, "This is not time to let your guard down,"

"I won't," Y/n assured

"Please be sure to carry your human weapon with you at all times," Rose Quartz warned, "It may help you,"

"Can do," Y/n nodded

"Are you worried?" Rose Quartz asked

"No, are you?" Y/n asked back

"Yes, I am," Rose Quartz told, "I do have the utmost faith in you and the rest of the Crystal Gems, but this is a challenge yet to be conquered yet,"

"There's a first for everything," Y/n said

"I wish to warn you... This enemy has a target on you," Rose Quartz told

"Why me?" Y/n frowned

"They believe you hold valuable information that will assist them in their mission," Rose Quartz told, "And because you're human, they believe they can easily coerce it out of you,"

"Of course they do," Y/n sighed as they pinched the bridge of their nose, "And what does this mean for me?"

"They may come for you before they come for our friends," Rose Quartz told

"Let 'em come," Y/n said, "I'm ready,"

Y/n coughed as they woke up with a start. A bright light flashed from outside, disturbing Y/n's light slumber, "Ugh," Y/n groaned as they wiped their eyes, their breath was visible through the cold air. Y/n stood up and looked out the window to see if maybe Steven or Amethyst was trying to get in on this Mid January night, but to there surprise no one was there, "Hmm..." Y/n frowned as they climbed under their mattress and retrieved their gun and holster, strapping it underneath their pajama bottoms. Y/n quickly checked their phone for the time before setting it down again and walking down the stairs. Cautiously, they pushed open the door and peaked outside, trying to find the source of the light, "Anyone there?" Y/n called out, but to no response, "...I'm just freaking myself out," Y/n laughed as they turned around to go back inside, but was soon stopped by a hard blow to the back of their head, knocking them down, nearly unconscious

"Pathetic..." A gruff, but feminine voice said as she loomed over Y/n's body

"Wha- Who are you?" Y/n managed to squeeze out

"Shut up, already," The women told as she lifted Y/n into the air

"L-Let go," Y/n stammered as they wiggled in her grip

"You'll have plenty of time to talk when we get back to the ship," The woman spat, "For now. Shut. Up. And. Stay. Still. I don't want to deal with a pathetic human like you so make it easier for the both of us,

"Where- Where," Y/n stammered, barley able to keep their eyes open as their vision blurred.

"Don't make me shut you up myself, human," The woman threatened

Y/n shut their mouth tight at the large woman's threat as they tried getting a look at their attacker, but the woman threw Y/n underneath her arm and began walking away. Sometime during the trek, Y/n managed to slip into unconcioussness
