"I can't go back there," Garnet says as Jasper takes a seat next to her on the log.
"Why not?" Jasper questions as they stare out over the ocean before them.
"Because I was never 'pose be born." Garnet raises a hand as Jasper moves to open her mouth. "Hear me out , Sapphire is the granddaughter of the chief foreseer and Ruby is the granddaughter of the former chief that got exiled for starting an unnecessary and bloody war that killed most of the tribe. Those that supported Ruby's grandfather followed him and started their own tribe. Ruby's tribe is not welcomed there, they won't accept me," Garnet finishes and let's out a sad sigh.
"But that's Sapphire's tribe, our tribe," Jasper says, raising her voice slightly at the unfairness.
Garnet simply nods her head and let's out another sad sigh. "I know. I've given the same argument to her plenty of times. But she can not go back. If she does and if she bring either Ruby, myself or even both of us, they will kill all of us."
Jasper clenches her fists at the thought. "So, what about Ruby's tribe, can y'all go there?"
Garnet shakes her head no. "Same thing. The moment they find out who my parents are, they will kill us all."
"So, y'all have nowhere to go then?"
"No .. but I've seen in my dreams of another tribe not connected to either of my moms' tribes," Garnet says after a moment.
Jasper is quiet for a moment. Even though she wants to follow Garnet, she can't. Her home is with the tribe.
