Having arrived at the front entrance of your home, you stopped walking, proceeding to look at the purple Gem next to you.

Though you were appreciative over her gesture of walking you home, you weren't too fond over the idea of her going back to her own place at this late hour.

Sure – You were well aware she was able to care after herself, but you still couldn't shake off your worry. As a result, you ended up calling out her name, gathering her attention before speaking up.

"Do you want to stay?" You offered, pointing with your eyes over to your home. "I've got a guest bedroom and a phone – in case you want to call anyone while you're here."

She stared at you in silence, taking in the awkward, expectant posture you held all while saying those words. Her eyes then drifted over to your home, a small smile appearing over her face.

"Sure." She shrugged. "I don't have anywhere to be tomorrow, anyway."

You returned her smile with a nod, making a gesture with your hand for her to follow you inside, all whilst rummaging around your work bag for your keys and finding the keyhole in the middle of the darkness.

Click.

Followed by that noise was the uneasy sensation of a room all-too cold for your comfort. Your body shivered involuntarily at the sudden change of temperature, and you could feel the vague discomfort of having an intruder hiding somewhere near you.

"Did ya hear that, too?" Amethyst questioned, her guard lifting as she summoned out her whip from the gemstone resting on her chest, unleashing it slowly so as to avoid causing disruption.

Not wanting to make any noise yourself, you only chose to nod, later proceeding to walk close to the Gem, attempting to join forces by taking out the pocket knife you often kept with you – in case someone tried to hurt you during one of your walks back home.

"Should I go turn on another light?" You whispered, pressing your shoulder carefully against her arm as you brought your lips close to her hearing – trying to avoid the possible risk of raising your voice too much.

"Yeah." She agreed, looking up to face with you. "Just be careful, 'kay?"

Though you were conscious of the dangerous situation you were currently in, you couldn't help softening your gaze in response to her concern – it showing to be genuine due to the tone of her voice and the way she seemed to inch closer to your side despite having to let you go in a moment.

Once you began to walk over to the kitchen, you braced yourself, pocket knife in one hand while your free one searched for the light switch, eyes jumping from corner to corner – as if expecting something to pop up at you anytime soon.

Click.

The same noise took over your hearing, the sound intensifying and causing you to snap over to the direction of the noise.

Click.

Clack.

Click.

Clack.

The sound was more prominent now and – from the near distance – you could see what appeared to be a cluster of hands slowly approach your side.

At that sight, you froze, debating whether or not you were to pull out the knife at them when noticing there laid what appeared to be a corrupted gemstone in the center of their conjoined bodies.

Before you could choose either one of those options, however, you witnessed Amethyst run over to their side, cracking her whip at their gemstone and causing for them to turn back into their inactive from. Afterwards, she trapped the being in a bubble, holding it over her hand as she glanced a look to your side.

What caught you off guard was seeing her suddenly widen her eyes, the feeling of something crawling over your leg following seconds after.
