Triggers: lots of grabby hands 



Grian's pov: 

I was pulled from the endless void by panicked voices. 

When I opened my eyes I saw Xisuma, Pearl and Gem standing over me

"Hello" 

My throat felt dry and scratchy, speaking hurt  

"Oh Grian!" 

Pearls face lit up 

"How are you feeling G?"

It was Gem who spoke this time 

The flowers adorning her antlers were brown and crispy, she was stressed 

I tried standing up, only to stumble and fall back into Gem's arms

Sometimes I forgot how strong she was

She grinned down at me "Careful there g, don't hurt yourself anymore." 

When Pearl and Gem were finally down fussing over me I noticed Xisuma

I had almost forgotten he was there to

Looking at his face I noticed the deep purple bags under his eyes 

Even with his helmet on you could still tell he hadn't slept in a while

"X?"

He moved to look at me 

"Yes Grian." 

His words sounded forced but cold, it stung 

I was about to talk again but then I realised where we were

We were still in a cave but there was no glowing slit in the wall

The room was barely decorated two torches hung on the walls, a table was shoved up in a corner, one old ratty rug sat on the stone floor and the white bed sat in the other corner, which I now lay on 

"Where am I?" 

That was the first question I asked

"What happened?"

"How long has it been?" 

"Scar is he...." 

Pearl looked at me her eyes were glossy

"Your in a cell, Me and Gem didn't like the idea but Xisuma insisted," 

Gem nodded her head slowly, 

"X found you passed out in the cave and called us," 

I must have looked hurt because X scoffed and turned away, 

Gem sighed then finished what Pearl was saying 

"It's been a week grian," 

That long I had been stuck in a void for an entire week 

"And?" 

A tear slip from Pearl's eye and she looked away 

"Oh I'm sorry," 

Something tensed in Xisuma's face and he marched up to me, shoving the two girls away 

"Pearl, Gem leave," 

His words came out in a snarl 

"No I don't think we will." 

Pearl stood her ground, X couldn't hurt her she wasn't scared
