I do not own Steven Universe only my OC
Little to few Gem's knew any Gem who was below a Pearl but there was a whole separate race that was created to serve even the Pearls. They were called the Minerals but the main ones were called Coals. Coals were grown in a Kindergarten way by growing them in the ground and they when they were brought out of the ground they were put to work until they were taken to Homeworld and 'seen' to. They were destabilized into their coals and used to heat up the castles and homes. But on Coal caught the Homeworld's attention usually a Coal would have one lump inside them and it would be jagged pieces but one that was brought out of the ground had two pieces and the pieces were rounded off and looked smooth. It was a girl who was small for a Mineral and very thin, almost looking malnourished. She had shoulder length black hair and her skin was a dirty grey colour she also had dark black eyes one of her coals was on her forehead and the other was on her stomach. The guards saw that she had been growing agitated and knew Homeworld would want to see her as soon as possible but as they loaded her onto their ship a blast made it crash to the ground. The guards got up and turned to check on the Coal prisoner but she was escaping in the crash the back of the ship door had been loosened allowing the Coal girl to escape. The coal found herself running as blast's were fired at her she was running along the long beach until suddenly she bumped into someone.
Coal looked up and saw a tall Gem standing over her it was a woman who was wearing a long white dress with a start cut around her gem, which was a pink Quartz. She also had large pink flowing hair she looked worriedly down at the Coal before looking up and summoning a large pink sword.
"get behind me" The pink Quartz said before the Coal child did so. The guards were soon dealt with and when they were destroyed the Quartz kneeled down and looked at the Coal's. "What's your name?" The Coal child looked confused before the Quartz smiled lovingly. "I think I'll call you Caroline Coal" Caroline looked surprised before smiling. "now follow me I know where you will be safe" The Quartz, who had previously introduced herself as Rose Quartz, had led Caroline to a cave which had a teleportation pad. "you can stay here none of the other Gems come here so you can stay here and if you want I can train to fight"Caroline smiled and finally spoke.
"Thank you for being so kind to me Miss Rose" She said before hugging but felt a kick in her stomach making her jump back.
"Don't worry. It's just my baby kicking" Caroline looked confused. "you see I have fallen in love with a human and so will have a human-Gem hybrid. His name is going to be Steven" Caroline looked intrigued and placed a hand on Rose's belly feeling the kick again. "I think he likes you" the smile that beamed off of Caroline warmed Rose making her smile back. Rose hugged Caroline and stood up. "now I must leave for now but I will be back and we will start to train. So please rest up" Caroline smiled and nodded before laying down Rose used the teleportation pad and left Caroline to sleep.
