Chapter 1- Broken facade
Pearl just hoped everyone would be asleep, that they wouldn't notice her come in. Tears streamed down Pearls face as she limped home. She just wanted to go home forget everything that today had brought. She new to be aware of gems but never humans. How could they do this. Blood dripped from several cuts on Pearls body but she paid no attention to them. "PEARL!" The haze that was clouding her mind, thought and sight was broken! When had she got home, how. She just could only bring forward what had happened earlier. Surely she hadn't gotten home this fast!

Garnet was sat watching a film, a romcom. Garnet loved her friday night film night with Steven. Amethyst had just gotten back from seeing Lapis and Peridot and was now complaining about the lack of food in the fridge. Steven was trying to explain that Greg was out buy some food from the shops once he had finished his night shift. "What time is it?" Amethyst asked.
Steven looked towards the clock and frowned, "Hey Garnet, when did Pearl leave to walk Connie home?" Amethyst turned to Steven as he hadn't answered her question.
"She left at 7:30pm why?" Garnet questioned, "Well its just after 9pm, I thought she would have been back by now" Steven replied with worry consuming him.
"Well maybe she and Connie went to rewind for a bit together after the training." Amethyst replied. Steven nodded and watched Amethyst go to her room. "So Garnet, what are we watching, I chose last time so it is your turn." Steven informed her as he come to sit next to her. The door opened as a thin silhouette came into the door. Steven and Garnet looked at the door to see Pearl limp in, Steven shouted out pearls name as shock covered there faces as they saw the state she was in. Garnet rushed over along with Steven to Pearl. "What the hell is all the noise about?" Amethyst asked when she popped her head out of her room, "P?" she questioned when she noticed her. Garnet looked at Pearl and saw bruises and cuts adorning her face. Fear hit hard in all the gems hearts as her disheveled appearance wasn't to do with a battle, but something else, "Pearl what happened?" Garnet asked, there worry sky rocketed as Steven went to go hold her hand but Pearl flinched away from him, eyes filling with fear as she backed away from Steven. Garnet along with the rest noticed Pearl become unsteady on her feet before she passed out, Garnet catching her in her arms before she had chance to hit the floor. Garnet carried the broken and bruised pearl and placed her carefully on the couch. "Garnet, her shorts are ripped and where is her top! Its like she was in a battle but" Steven panicked. This had caused the other two to take into account her actual clothes and the state or ruin they where in. Pearl,s top was nowhere to be seen. Only her black bra was covering her breasts with many bruises and cuts adorning her chest, shoulders, neck, torso and arms. They shuddered at the thought of what her back would look like. They noticed big red hand prints on her arms, wrists and tips of them peaking from under her bra. The gems started to panic as they looked from the face and upper body down the the ripped shorts and her legs, noticing she didn't have shoes or socks on anymore. They picked up on more bruises, cuts and what looked to be gravel burn and mud covering her legs, "Pearl?" Steven and Amethyst whimpered. Fear coursing through there veins. The gems shared a look of fear. "Garnet what do we do?" Amethyst begged fro answers. "I, I don't know" Garnet replied. Garnet had figured what had happened. "Do, do you think she was r.. Raped" Steven spurted. The Gems looked at him. Garnet turned back to Pearl. "I think so Steven. We will have to wait till Pearl wakes up, and try help her heal. We need to be there for her." Garnet answered. Steven started to cry along side Amethyst. They just sat and waited for Pearl to come around.

"Please don't, I wont do it again, i'll be a good pearl," the gems where awake instantly. They looked toward Pearl squirming and crying, Garnet realized that Pearl was having a nightmare and treid to wake her up, "Pearl you need to wake up" she said while trying to shake Pearl awake, "My diamond im sorry please make them stop, I dont want this, im sorry I beg you. Please stop, it hurts!" Pearl screamed as she bolted up right, panic stricken, and shaking, Garnet managed to get Pearls focus on to her, and once that happened Pearl clung to Garnet like her life depended on it.
Garnet along with the others realized that the events from the night had brought Pearls past of homeworld realizing that none of them knew all that much about pearls homeworld life and experiences.
Please leave a comment to let me know if I should continue this story. As you can see Pearl has been raped but it seems to have brought other memories of her life such as homeworld back to pearl.
