The Forgotten Gem(PLEASE READ THE REWRITTEN VERSION!)

Chapter 14

(Pearl's POV)
   Her return...it still really suprised me. I didn't know how to feel about it. Its a mystery,  really,  why she doesn't remember.....she was very different when she first arrived...now, she's more like her old self...distant...quiet. Just like when Rose was here... Oh Rose... Just thinking of her pained me... I stepped out if my room. I looked up to see if Steven had gone to bed. I saw the boy sound asleep wrapped in his warm blanket. I walked up the small set of stairs leading to his bed. I sat down at the side and sighed. Looking out the window and saw the dark sky with the moon and sea's waves crashing against the sandy beach. But there was there was something else... A dark figure was standing there in the sand, looking outwards. I crept closer by the window to get a better look at this person. A faint red glow flickered on the back of her head. A human? No, it was a gem. Coral. What was she doing? I quickly got outside and watched from the balcony.  She was pacing along the sand... Her eyes still looking at the sea. Her movement stopped and for a while she just stared far out, onto the dark waters. I was puzzled. What would she want with the osean? Why was she even standing out here? I quickly walked down the steps and onto the slope that led to the beach. What was she doing? Coral was always mysterious...but this was really out of the ordinary,even for her... She dived into the Ocean waters. I quickly followed after her, trying to figure out what she was up to. Underwater....Why would she be underwater? I sunk down to the ocean floor, watching her. She looked...happy? My suspicion only increased as I watched. She smiled as she picked up something off the seafloor ground, then it began, very slowly....

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 without

I'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......

I finished it for her, "From Here..." She turned around in shock as if she didn't even realize that she was singing. It touched my heart. She was singing my song....but why?
"Pearl! I...I umm....why...are you here?..." she asked, she seem uncertain about what she had done. I knew of her abilities but why would I allow myself to give her my hand? I don't know....I looked at her and she looked at me, we just stood there for a moment, hands touching and simply looking at each other. I felt a familiar warm feeling creep through me. Suddenly her hand slid away and the cold sea wrapped around me once more. She was scared. I could see it in her eyes. They were wide and I could see tears being held back.... but why?... Was it what happened with Sapphire...?
"You should go..." She muttered at last, her voice was faint and stuttering slightly. what? I was confused. why? What had I done? What was the matter? I wanted to say this but something clogged my throat. I felt nothing but the salt water against me. "Go."She repeated. I stood there in disbelief. "Coral Wait.... I-" I stuttered, but my shaking words were cut off by her sharp ones. "GO! I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY!" She was screaming, now...her eyes were filled with tears...why was she so upset?

(Coral's POV)
Pearl hands touched mine and I couldn't help but search through her thoughts. I barely even looked in before I saw the memories, memories of her love for Rose Quartz. I slid my hand away. She was not over her, I knew it... Rose...She would only love Rose. I could feel tears trying to slip out of my eyes, yet I held them back.....I couldn't let her see me crying. All I ever wanted was to be loved... Sapphire's cruel words came back to me again...they were said so long ago, yet they stung and struck my heart. Why would anyone love me? I shattered gems...I guess this is why I would never experience fusion....ever again...she was still standing there. "You should go.." I muttered, I didn't want her here...as much as I wanted to someone's comfort. I couldn't bring myself to receive it... she only stared at me with those beautiful eyes, confusion on her face...I looked away....why did she have to be so....so...pretty.. "Go." I repeated. She walked over, she was getting closer. Panic struck me. I stepped back. "Coral wait....I-" I didn't let her finish. I didn't want to hear her. I didn't want her to get hurt. I didn't want her to get hurt from a monster like me...I wanted to be alone. "GO! I DON'T NEED YOUR PITY!" I screamed, I could feel tears streaming down my eyes. I didn't want to cry, why would she just go away? Why couldn't I just go away? I felt a light, fuzzy feeling within me. I stared down at my hands. They were flickering...I was flickering. No, no not now! I tried to calm down...I could let my emotions get the better out of me. I pounded my hands against the sea floor. I didn't want to go back! Please not now! I felt the water around turn much colder then I should. I stopped flickering. I looked at my hands, they were solid again. I looked up to find a beautiful figure before me. Why did she have to do this?! I didn't want her help. I want to swim back to the surface to get away from all this.... "It's alright...Coral if something's bothering you then tell me." Pearl's voice was angelic...I couldn't stand to be mad at her...I loved her. Her hand reached out to accept mine again. I took it without hesitation. I spun her around with one hand and when she turned to face me again, I could feel all the water around be turn warm, as if by magic. I stared into her eyes. I was overwhelmed by all her memories...I wanted to pull her closer...I closed my eyes and sank into her arms. I didn't want any of this moment to end...

(?'s POV)
I opened my eyes. Everything seemed so weird.... I glanced around....water?.... fish? What was going on....then it struck me...They weren't there....I was here... I looked my hands...all four of them...Coral and Pearl... They weren't here... I was back....after how long?.... 4000? That seem about right.... I smiled...Red Amber was finally back. "Guys....You finally did it..." I whispered to myself. I didn't know how to feel... I just felt...frighten? Nervous? Happy? I couldn't decide. I swam quickly back to the surface. I climbed slowly onto the beach. Memories came flooding back out of no where... "Coral...please not now..." I muttered as I wiped the teardrop from my lower left eye. I didn't want to defuse now...I sighed and sat down on the sand. My skin was wet still bit I simply looked back out towards the sea. The sun was staring to rise, for the first time...I was happy...I think Pearl and Coral would be too...

Sorry about not updating in like forever! Well here you go! But before I go I want you all to meet the character! Red Amber! If you haven't figured it out by now...she's the fusion between Pearl and Coral. Don't you worry! There's going to be a lot more fusion moments in the story. (Stevonnie , Opal, etc.)
