(Coral's POV)
I was back, the ten minutes had ended. My hands, and body was shaking uncontrollably. I felt my heart sank to my stomach. The world whirred around me, but all soon became still. I was slammed to the floor. My head hit the ground with a hard thud. I tried to get up but I was completely pinned down to the ground. Cold. Ice.... My whole body was trapped under a thick sheet of ice. I felt something pierce the back of my gem. "AHH!" I screamed in pain. I felt me gem cracking. Flickers, my life was flashing before my eyes. "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" a sobbing voice screamed. Sapphire. "YOU KILLED HER! YOU SHATTERED HER! DID SHE MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?!?" another bolt of pain shock through the back of my head. I could feel my physical form become exhausted. I wanted to retreat, to disappear, but I couldn't back done now...I couldn't die this way... "I'm sorry....I didn't know this would happen! Pleas-" my speech became muted. I felt a gust of cold air sweep across my face. "You...selfish...heartless..LIAR! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN I'M IN! YOU UNDERSTAND!YOU WOULDN'T KNOW! YOU NEVER LOVED ANYONE!" I felt my heart break. I did love someone...I did know how she felt....I was really so selfish, I hated myself....I really did. I could say any of this. I could only cry in silence... "but then again....why would anyone love a heartless creature like you? You're a cruel worthless nobody." The words rang in my ears. Was that what Pearl though of me? No...No no NO NO NO! I couldn't take this anymore. I want to be loved, I want to be valued. I didn't want this ability, I didn't want this pain. I wanted it all to go away, to make everything better again....I wanted to go back...

(Steven's POV)
Coral had recovered from the last time Sapphire had attacked her. But it seems as if her personality had completely changed. She was a different person. She was very quiet and isolated. She never looked at anyone and lately, I hadn't seen her at all, she kept on disappearing....Some times, She'd walk up to the temple door and just stare at it. She would then turn around and walk back outside.
Sapphire...she was quiet too...she usually just disappear into her room with Ruby's gem. She didn't say anything about the incident. I'm so confused...I don't know why all this was happening....I don't know what to do...Pearl and Amethyst...they wouldn't say anything either...I just want it all to be OK again. I sighed as I sat up in my bed. I should be asleep, but I wasn't, I couldn't there were too many questions, to many problems. I looked outside the window, to look out at the dark sky. This was what the world felt like now...dark,cold and mysterious, all the secrets and truth wrapped around by endless night.

(Coral's POV)
Water....The sea...it all felt familiar...home...I smiled sadly to myself....it was nice... I stopped walking along the sand. I looked over the sea. It seemed so welcoming like an old friend of mine. I smiled and dived in. My eyes opened to see myself surrounded with water and surprised fishes swim in all directions. I looked under my slow sinking feet. The reef.. It was buzzing with life. I swam down to get a closer look. I felt comfortable here. The reef, it was full of coral...The substance my gem was made from. Guilt pulsed through me, something's so beautiful had to be destroyed and reshapen to give a savage creature like me life... I sighed, my arms hugging the sides of my body. I sat at the bottom of the sea floor. The fish of many colors zoomed past me. I looked straight up, a group of turtles and manta rays swam above me. My hands ran along a smooth object. I looked down to see a ivory white seashell. I smiled and I began to sing my voice drowned by the sea....I guess I'll have to face
That in this awful place
I shouldn't show a trace of doubt
But pulled against the grain
I feel a little pain
That I would rather do withoutI'd rather be
Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free
I'd rather be
Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, free
Free-ee-ee, free-ee-ee, Free......"From here" a voice ended the last line for me. In shock I turned around. My dark red eyes met beautiful teal ones. My heart was pounding...I had been singing her song... Pearl...

Hello! I'm alive! Anyways...You might me wondering...WHAT THE HECK PRETTYUNUSUAL?!? WHY ARE YOU USING LAPIS' SONG?!? So before you get mad I just want to say yes..I did use escapism and I didn't write this song, credit goes to Rebecca Sugar...anyways that's not my point..My point is...escapism is a song about being free...and by now, lapis has been freed from Earth..she even learns to accept certain things...I just feel like this songs os more suited for Pearl because her past is all about serving the diamonds and how she broke away from that role...to be her own gem... To leave homeworld...so I hope you understand my choice.
