PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE READING THE CHAPTER…
Welcome to chapter three of "On the Run"! I really hope this story can also get some people to love Amethyst because sadly, she's one of the most hated characters and it makes me cry…literally…well, anyways, don't be expecting this story to be all heartwarming and gooey! Your heartstrings might be pulled in a few chapters. I hope this doesn't sound bad, but I try to put emotion into my story, so in a future chapter please put if you cried or not because when I write sad things I want to make it realistic and such. Also, would this be better in first person or Amethyst's POV (point of view)? PLEASE put that because I'm struggling ;_;. Anyways, enjoy, and onto the story ~
Chapter 2: We Need to Talk
3rd Person POV
Part One
Once, when Amethyst was younger, she had felt very left out. It was very odd being the new Crystal Gem, especially an Amethyst. Amethysts weren't very popular or high in the rankings, unlike Jaspers, who were Quartz soldiers as well. Since Amethyst felt left out, she was going to run away. She'd written a note sloppily, in the best human writing she could, and made it as readable as possible. She'd use the note so she would be able to run away. Before she could even step a square inch, Rose tapped her shoulder. "What's this?" Rose asked gently, unrolling the map. Amethyst blushed and glumly admitted the ugly truth. "Why do you want to run away?" Rose asked. "Are you happy here?" "Not really," Amethyst admitted. "I'm a little lonely, and I'm not sure if Pearl likes me all that much. I hate being from the Kindergarten. I'm a big mistake." "Pearl loves you," Rose said. "I love you and Garnet loves you. On Earth, you can be whoever you wanna be. That's why I created the rebellion. So we could all have a place to live, be free, and live independent. I love the Earth, and I hate what the Kindergarten was doing to the Earth. We care so much about you."
"You honestly love me that much?" Amethyst whispered hoarsely. She wasn't afraid of anything, but she sounded like it. "Yes, we do," Rose said, her pleasant, caring voice growing more pleasant. "I honestly thought nobody cared," Amethyst said weakly. She grabbed her shirt. Rummaging through her mind was a cluster of feelings – sadness, love, careful, embarrassed – anything perfect to describe her feelings right now was accurate. "T-thank you, Rose," Amethyst said, clutching Rose close to her. "It's going to be okay, Amethyst," Rose said, giving her a loving look. From the corner, Pearl watched glumly.
Part 2
Pearl's POV
What was she talking about? Of COURSE I loved Amethyst. Sure, she may be annoying every once in a while, but if Rose could love her, I could love her. "I'll talk to Pearl and see if we can work something out," Rose said, smoothing her hair. She approached to the corner where I was hiding. "Hello?" Rose said, calling for me. "Salutations," I said. I didn't have much of anything to say. She calmly put a hand on my shoulder. "Tell me how you feel about Amethyst," she said. I didn't say anything. "Please, Pearl," Rose started. I blushed in embarrassment. "Um, she's fine," I said. At the time I thought I'd never tell her. "You know I can just ask Garnet," Rose said. Usually she'd tease in a playful way, but I decided it was time to admit the truth, even if it was ugly, just a tiny bit. "I don't really like her," I said. "She's a nuisance, and she's doing no good." "And how would she feel if you said that to her face?" Rose asked.
"She'd feel horrible," I admitted, staring at the ground. "I understand your feelings," Rose started, "but just at least give her a chance." "I will," I promised. It would take some getting used to, but in the end, that's exactly what ended up happening.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I am going to work on chapter three so it should be out soon. Bye loves!
