   Everything was repeating itself. Nothing has changed. I solved nothing. The Jasper ended up escaping anyways, as I was distracted. This is so annoying. Bang! I slammed my cuffed hands against the wall.
"this is just fantastic! " I screamed. I was locked up in a different room this time, not the room with the window. This room was dark and black walls leaned in, giving me the feelings of discomfort and dread. I was not alone. My past self was sitting across from me. Her wrists were also cuffed. She hadn't looked up at me, not even once. I sat back down on the floor.
"What did you do..." past-me spoke. I glanced up at her. Her head faced me now, her eyes were challenging and dangerous. I quickly looked down at me feet again. I didn't answer her. I couldn't and I didn't want to, anyways. I shuttered, did I look that terrifying all the time? A sudden pang of guilt flooded over me. Is this how they felt? All the gems I had shattered? They must have felt terrified and alone.... I started to cry. I didn't know what to do. Everything seemed so hopeless and chaotic. I didn't know how to feel, I felt, sorry? And mad? "Wow, am a weakling like that in the future? I so pathetic... "past- me spoke again. I didn't look up this time but I could still feel her eyes staring down at my weak appearrence. I wiped the tears from my eyes. She didn't know.... I didn't know... Suddenly the door opened... It was time for me to except my doom and punishment.

(White Pearl's POV)
"My Diamond, we have a problem..." I said, I didn't quite know how my diamond would react to this. When I witnessed it myself, I had been overwhelmed with shock.
"Oh, you're back already." she said, looking down at me. She was a huge gem and a powerful one too. I bowed instantly at her presence.
"The Coral, Facet 3A5C Cut-6YZ, has let the defective Jasper escape." I explained slowly. My diamonds signed, she rubbed her temples and looked down at me.
   "is that so? Well then, I will have to send a potrol to look for her, the Jasper couldn't have gotten far..." she replied. I looked down at my feet again. "My Diamond, the Coral.... " I began again,  I wasn't sure how I would have explained this to her.
   "What about her?" My diamond responded, she started to sound impatient. This wasn't going good. "She's also a def-" My words ere cut off by a cry of alarm. "My Diamond! Both the Coral and the Jasper are gone! They're not there! They've es-" that voice! I turned around quickly. I let out a gasp of surprise. There, by the  doorway was me, or a past version, just like the other coral... My Diamond had seen this too, she looked down at me, her face portrayed no emotion.
"Care to explain, what exactly is going on?"

"So, the defective Coral, she is capable of time travel, I believe?" My Diamond remarked, after my explanation. I nodded and look at the past-me. She seemed to be suspicious on who I was. I too, was still trying to comprehend the fact that there was also a past version of myself. "What do you want me to do with her? My Diamond?" I asked. "Poof and bubble her. I believe a power such as her's will be quiet useful in the future..." She said, not even blinking once. I was confused by what she said. "Excuse me, my Diamond, bit won't shattering her be a better option. I don't believe that a gem such as herself should even have this power, she is no better then the Jas-" I was silenced by my Diamond, instantly. "Are you questioning my decision and authority? You as my Pearl should know your place. Don't you forget. The Coral is still of a higher status, then yourself." She warned. I snapped my mouth shut. This is so frustrating! Why would a defect still have a higher status than myself? I have serve my Diamond with extreme loyalty for over a thousand years! I gritted my teeth. I wasn't letting this defect off the hook easily. After all, there is two Corals, and my diamond only need to use one.

(Future Coral's POV)
The door to the dark room shut behind White Pearl as she stepped in. Her eyes were threatening. I shivered at the sight if them. Her left hand held a slender spear. I panicked again, my hands tried to reach and pull out my weapon, but my hands were frozen in place. White Pearl was in front of me now. I knelt down, shaking. The past-me had gotten very silent, she too was starting to feel the immense danger. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on past events, trying to travel back, just as I had done before. My head and body once again felt light, but then a sharp pain shot into my chest. I coughed up blood, as I collapsed to one side. I held my cuffed hands to my bleeding chest. "Please stop...." I pleaded, my mouth full of blood. The White Pearl pointed her spear to my forehead.
"So, the executor is pleading for mercy, something other had asked for but she never gave. How ironic. It's sad to think that a shatterer such as yourself, would perish like this.....well, if you have nothing more to say...then, goodbye." She drilled the spear into my forehead, cracking my skull. Why? Why would she do this to me? What had I done? I already knew the answer. But I still refused to see it. I hated Pearls. Mindless, Heartless gems. The spear was driven in deep and I felt myself lose consciousness. My physical form disappeared.

(White Pearl's POV)
Poof! A red smooth gem hit the ground. I summoned a box from with in my Gem and placed it on the ground. I had to hid her gem Shards somewhere, and a box like this seemed good enough. I couldn't let my diamond see them. The disposal bins were given to the White Diamond to examine, in oder to double check that the executors really did their jobs. I could not risk it. I bent down to the ground, my spear still in my hand. Pathetic. This gem actually thought that I would have mercy. Stupid indeed. I sliced the gem with the tip of my spear. Crack..... I heard footsteps. I turned around dropping the red gem in the box and closing the lid. I saw the other Coral. She was flickering, her physical form seem to be failing to take shape. Poof! Her gem hit the floor with a clank. This struck me with confusion. What? How did she managed to poof herself? It didn't matter, it simply made my own job easier. I turned to the box and placed it in a small shuttle. I punched in a random set of coordinates, it really didn't matter where the shards ended up, it just had to be away from here. It launched off with a boom. I turned back to the room and walked over to the red gem. I let my spear flicker away as I reached out to grab the gem. My hand went right through it. I was shocked. I tried again, but it simply went through. I watched in horror as the gem faded away.
