Song: Bea Miller: I can't breathe

*Bounce...bounce...bounce...pop* The three watched as the white and blue gem floated in the air, and started to take form. She was wearing no shoes, and a torn up dress with the bottom ripped off just above the knees. The dress was a black to purple gradient, with white highlights. She wore her hair down, a bit disheveled.

She fell to her hands and knees, and looked at the ground. "P-please! Don't hurt me!" She yelled as she threw her arms up in defense. Steven ran forward, but was stopped by Garnet before he could reach her. "It's okay, we're not gonna hurt you." He tried to comfort her. Not recognizing the voice, She looked up and noticed that she wasn't anywhere she recognized. She took a moment to look around. "This isn't my display case...THEY'RE GONNA KILL ME!" Filled with panic, she got up and ran around, trying to get out. She ran up to the front door and waited for it to open...then she looked for a scanner...then she slammed on it. Nothing. It wouldn't open...how do you open this door?! Then she ran to the temple door...same thing! Then she ran up the stairs to the window...this had to be some sort of...weird door! She could see through it...and there was definitely a lot of space on the other side. She pushed on it and pulled on it, then she noticed that it opened a little. She pulled it again, and smiled when it opened more. Then she got confused when she saw a sort of film behind the first door, covering the hole. She poked it and observed that it was actually kinda soft...maybe if she pushed hard enough, it would...

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw the others run up the stairs. "Hey! You don't have to go! We're here to help you!" Steven shouted. They were closing in on her, and she could feel her heart pound. She scurried away from them, jumped off the higher ground, and landed next to the fireplace. Fear was starting to set in as the three followed her. They seemed like they were trying to say something to her, but she was too freaked out to listen. She looked around, and saw that there was nowhere for her to go...she was trapped, and she could feel her heart beat increase and she started to panic. Once her back touched the wall, her fight took over.

"Leave...me...ALONE!" *thunder clap* Erupting from her mouth came waves of supersonic energy. The boom was so strong that it sent Steven and Amethyst to the other side of the room, and knocked Garnet onto one knee. Garnet was about to summon her weapon, but changed her mind when she looked at the mystery gem. She looked terrified and exhausted.

As if on cue, the white gem slumped to the floor. "AAAARRRRRRRG!" Amethyst yelled as Steven and her, for different reasons, ran towards the crumpled ball that was sitting on the floor. Garnet raised her hand up, signaling for the two to stop. It was quiet as she observed the scared female.

"Somebody get me a hammer
Wanna break all the clocks and the mirrors
And go back to a time that was different

A time when I

Didn't feel like there was something missing
Now my body and mind are so distant
Don't know how to escape from this prison

How can I..."
The blue skinned female crawled over to the corner, and sat with her back against the wall.

"...free my mind

Cause I can't breathe
I can't breathe

I can't breathe
I can't breathe."

Garnet was kneeling on the ground relatively close to the female. "Steven, do you remember her name?" The chubby boy folded his arms and put a finger on his chin. "Hmmm, I think it started with an...S? There was a lot going on." He justified as he scratched the back of his head.

The room flashed as Pearl finally finished her mission. She was in a defensive stance with her spear at the ready. "I'm here Garnet! Where is that gem?!" "Uh, she's right here." Amethyst pointed to the corner. "She attacked us...and then she, like, started singing...it was really weird." She said as she made a bit of a face. Pearl looked at Garnet and Steven, and decided that, due to the lack of weapons, and Garnet kneeling on the ground, it was safe to put hers away. "Singing?..." The elegant stone started to walk around the corner to where the others were, so she could see who exactly they were dealing with. "...that is quite stran-SELENE?!"
