*Hey guys! I decided
to another story! Woo!*
Prologue
"Oh, c'mon!" A young princess (about 13 or 14) dragged her best friend down one the many halls of a great palace. "Slow down, your highness!" Yelled the darker girl, her thick British accent cutting through her words (she was also around 13 or 14). The princess giggled, "Oh, Garnet, I told you to call me Pearl!" When they arrived to the Pearl's chambers, Pearl jumped onto her bed, soon positioning herself in a criss-cross form. Garnet looked around the princess's room, still wondering how they were friends. Garnet was just a peasant, a simple orphan. But Pearl had seemed to take a liking for the darker girl.
"You will stay here for tonight!" Pearl smiled, excitement shining in her eyes. Garnet adjusted her goggles (she didn't have enough money for real glasses.) Her poofy, black hair covered her a big majority of her forehead, unlike Pearl who had her gem on her forehead. Gems were highly respected throughout these parts of Danehine, they were a symbol of peace and protection, but with great protection, comes great enemies. Some gems had joined humans in becoming pirates. Raiding villages, killing innocent people for money, and many horrible things. Yet, Garnet was pretty interested with them. Garnet snapped out of her daydreaming and turned her attention back to the pale girl.
"As you wish, princess." Pearl rolled her eyes, and sighed annoyed, "Garnet, I understand your trying to be respectful, but please just call me Pearl." Garnet smiled, "As you wish, Pearl." Pearl smiled, but it faded quickly when she realized Garnet was just sitting on the floor. "Why did you not sit in a chair?"
"My mistress doesn't allow for me to." Pearl tilted her head, "Your...mistress?" Garnet nodded, "I work for a place to stay. She feeds me every once in a while, but it doesn't help. Either I don't eat and get slapped for wasting, or I get used to it, and it hurts to go hungry..." Pearl's eyes softened, "Are you hungry?" Garnet looked down and hesitated to answer, but she whispered lightly, "Y-yes, a slight bit..." Pearl gave the girl a warm smile, and ran off down the hall. "Wait I-" But she was gone.
'I was going to tell her she didn't have to get it for me...I can go without...' Garnet sighed and smiled, 'At least she cares.' Pearl entered with a silver tray. She sat it down in front of Garnet. Garnet's jaw dropped, she had never seen so much food! Pearl poured Garnet and herself a cup a warm, green tea. She lifted the teacup like the instructor had taught her to. Garnet studied how she did it, and copied it. The warm liquid trickled down Garnet's throat, 'The is really good!'
"Garnet?" Garent sat down her cup, "Yes, Pearl?" Pearl smiled slightly, Garnet finally used her real name. "Why are you not eating?" Garnet looked down at the food and took a small portion. She ate silently, and wondered why Pearl wasn't joining her in the feast. "Aren't you going to eat as well?" Pearl shook her head, "This is all for you." Garnet's eyes widen, "R-really?" Pearl nodded. Garnet ate until she was full, which was something she had not done in such a long time, but the platter was still almost full.
Garnet sighed happily, 'it feels good to be full.'
"Are you finished?" Pearl looked over at the maid who had entered the room, Pearl looked at Garnet, she nodded. The maid took the platter and exited the room. Garnet yawned, she was usually getting into bed by now, she looked at the window, the sun just barely setting. She looked back to Pearl and said, "Where shall I sleep, prin-I mean, Pearl?" Pearl giggled, "With me, silly!" Garnet bit the bottom of her lip, something about that made Garnet's heart jump, "Oh, okay. As you wish."
Pearl walked over to dresser, opening it, she pulled out two night gowns. Both made with the finest silks, "I do believe we are about the same size. But, this one was accidentally made a tad bit too big." She handed the pink one to Garnet, "Uh, Pearl, I...I appreciate this amazing gown, but I'm far to dirty to wear such nice clothing...and to sleep in your bed."
"Nonsense. But, since you say your are so dirty, then, I shall have a bath prepared for you." Garent stayed silent, and waited as the maid filled the porcelain tub with warm water. "There you go, dear." The maid walked over to Garnet and started to take off her clothes. "Um, I hate to be rude, but I can bathe myself." The maid stood, nodded, and left the bathroom. Garnet took off her ragged shirt, then her pants (even though women normally didn't wear pants, she did.) Garnet didn't have a corset or something to cover her breast, well, beside a shirt. She didn't have underwear, but that's being poor for you. She slipped into the bath, the warm water wrapped around her body like a warm blanket. She smiled and sunk lower into the water, until the water was setting perfectly on her chin.
She relaxed for a bit, until Pearl walked in. "Garnet, I was wondering if you would like some of these new bath beads? They make your skin really soft, and they smell nice." Garnet blushed a bit knowing Pearl saw her naked, but it didn't seem to effect Pearl. "I do not understand why you are blushing, we are both females, therefore, I see nothing wrong with me seeing you nude." This made Garnet's blush deeper, she turned her head from Pearl and said, "I...guess I'll try 'em." Pearl smiled and walk over to the tub, she opened the glass container and poured some of the bath beads in. She left shortly afterward, leaving Garnet to wash up. 'She's right, though. They do smell pretty nice.'
Garnet relax a bit, after her bath, she slipped on the silk gown. When she laid down in the bed, the thick whit blankets around her, the soft pillows beneath her head, and the coolness of her gown made a safe haven for Garnet. 'Oh, how I wish I could get used to this!' Garnet felt herself slowly falling asleep until she felt a small figure curl up to her. Garnet felt her heart jump again, 'This shouldn't make me feel this way.' But, she was so, small. Garnet thought a moment, then she wrapped her arm around Pearl.
But, the next was the day, Garnet left. She couldn't take it anymore, she had enough of the chores, the beatings, everything. But, there was one default to her plan for freedom; she had to leave Pearl. It pained her deeply, but, she made a promise to herself; she will one day, see Pearl again.
*Okay, before I get
any hate comments about
how gems don't age, I don't give a fuck.
Tbh, I think gems age until the hit a certain age.
We already know that gems give birth, but you can't give birth to
full grown being. It just doesn't happen that way. Anyway peace! And it will be updated soon!*
