Serena and her parents sat in the dining room awaiting Emerald to join them. Lady Jade picked up her glass of wine, and took a sip.
"I wonder what's taking Emerald so long…" She said looking towards the doors that lead into the hallway, as if willing them to open and to have Emerald standing behind them. Lord Onyx picked up his fork and took a tiny bite of his chicken.
"Onyx we will wait for Emerald to come and then we will eat." Lord Onyx acted as if he didn't hear her, because after swallowing the first bite of chicken, he then took another bite. This time a little bit bigger then the first. Lady Jade slammed her hand down on the table.
"I will not be disrespected in my own house-" Lord Onyx placed his fork down and cleared his throat.
"My dear I do not care if I disrespect you or not," He said in a slow even voice, Serena was all little surprised at her fathers attitude towards her mother.
"Onyx what are you saying?" Lord Onyx let out a sigh. "You have no idea how much I've come to dislike you over the years." He thought to himself, the urge to say that to his wife was almost uncontrollable.
"Emerald is a big girl and we do not have to wait for her to join us for dinner. If she wishes not to join us then she will not have to." He picked up his fork once again and took another bite.
"Onyx I-" The doors opened and Emerald entered with a smile on her face.
"Hello my dear family sorry as to have kept you waiting but I decided to invite Prince Diamond and his brother to dinner if that's alright…." Lady Jade jolted up with a huge smile on her face.
"Y-yes of course it is, the more the merrier!" She said. Emerald smiled her green ugly painted smile that Serena had come to hate with a passion over the past few days. "Only a few days until the dinner and then you can ruin it all for her and Prince Diamond." She didn't like the idea of ruining Prince Diamond's night but with Emerald's night being ruined…that made her smile just thinking about it. Serena looked up seeing Prince Diamond with a lady behind him.
"Oh and this is Lady Prizma, Sapphires betrothed." Lady Jade flinched and had to hold back a fit of rage.
"Oh how nice…" She said through clenched teeth. Emerald smiled at her mouths show in anger. Serena blinked. "Did she just say Sapphire's betrothed…?" She thought asking herself.
"I hope you don't mind me tagging along but I wanted to meet my future sister-in-law." Emerald smiled.
"And I wanted to meet you as well Prizma. Prince Diamond has told me so much about you. You and Sapphire have been together for how many years?" She asked, glancing over at Serena with a snotty look. Serena felt the urge to jump up and slap her across her ugly face. "Oh that's how we're going about it huh? Well that's fine by me you little hussy." Serena thought glaring at the side of Emerald head. Emerald saw her glares and let out a laugh. Prizma let out a nervous laugh.
"Uh it's been about 5 years, maybe 6. You really can't put a number on true love." She said her heart fluttering a bit.
"Yes well let's not go into any wedding details I want to do nothing but get to know you Prizma, come and sit next to me." As they took their seats, Serena didn't see Sapphire anywhere in the hall.
"Uh where's Sapphire, I thought he was coming to dine with us as well tonight…?" Prince Diamond looked over at her as he pulled out Emerald seat for her, and then he pulled out Prizma's.
"Oh he said he couldn't make it. Said that he had some things to do." He shrugged taking a seat across from where Serena was sitting. "I tell you he's been acting very strange lately if yo ask me." Prizma let out a laugh.
"I haven't noticed." She said dreamily. Serena wanted to throw up. They said talking and talking, while Serena sat in silence. She didn't feel like talking much. So she just at her dinner in silence. Until that is Prizma had to go and open her mouth and ask her the most stupidest question.
"So do you have someone special yet, Lady Serena?" She asked taking a small bite of chicken into her oddly big mouth. Serena opened her mouth to answer her, but Emerald cut her to the quick.
"Actually Serena has a little crush on Sapphire." She said taking a small sip of wine. Prizma smiled a tight mouthed smile.
"Oh it that so, I completely understand I mean who wouldn't have a crush on Sapphire…" Serena shrugged, not caring to seem like a lady at the moment.
"Oh uh yes well I'm over him now." Emerald let out a huge laugh.
"I bet you are your still in love with that man that gave you that stupid star locket that you open every time you look at it." Serena let out a low hiss.
"What locket? What man is she talking about Serena?" Lady Jade asking placing her fork and knife back on the table.
"It-it's nothing really." She said taking her glass of wine and taking a sip of it, some of it dripped down her chin landing on the napkin in her lap.
"I want a straight answer from you young lady, right now." Serena placed the glass back on the table and went to get up.
"Maybe I be excused, Father?" She asked. Lord Onyx nodded, but he stopped himself.
"Yes dear but before you are excused tell us about this man who gave you a star locket…when was this?" He asked. Serena opened her mouth to answer in a lie, but Emerald spoke for her.
"It was late at night and he snuck into her room and gave her a locket…he weeped at her bed." Lady Jade let out a cry.
"A man in my daughters bedroom in the middle of the night, when was this? Last night?" She asked. Emerald spoke again.
"No it was many weeks ago-" Serena couldn't take it anymore.
"Will you shut the hell up!" Serena screamed at the top of her lungs. The whole dining room was silent, until Emerald let out a cry of rage.
"How dare you talk to me like that you little tramp!" Serena let out a snort and pointed a slim finger at Emerald.
"Like your one to talk! At least I'm not engaged to be married and kissing on my fiance's brother!" Lady Jade let out a gasp.
"Emerald you didn't, please tell me you didn't…" She begged. Emerald eyes glanced around the room franticly. "There's no way out of this sister dear." Serena thought with a smirk.
"It-it was an accident I swear mother…I was crying and Sapphire, he- he kissed me!" She shouted on the edge of tears. Lady Jade touched her temple lightly.
"Oh Emerald how could you."
"I didn't mother, Diamond I'm sorry it happen I was very cross with Sapphire after he did it…I don't know what happen or what I did to make him do it, but it was not my fault." Serena let out a hard laugh.
"Oh right nothing's your fault, isn't that right Emerald. It wasn't your fault when you broke Mother favorite necklace, that you blamed me for. I got your punishment for that. And how about when you broke Father's favorite watch that was his Fathers. As I recall you blamed me for that one to-"
"Shut your ugly little mouth, Serena. Before I shut it for you." Emerald said through narrowed eyes. Prizma looked from Serena then to Emerald, and then to their parents.
"Uh I think we better go, don't you think Prince Diamond." His face was set in a grave look.
"I suppose your right-" Emerald shot up.
"No please don't leave, you can't we need to talk through this and then everything will be right again, I promise."
"You think talking it out will stop making your kiss with Sapphire any less true?" She asked. Emerald pushed her chair out so hard that bit hit the wall with a loud bang. She rushed around the table, slapping Serena hard across the face.
"Shut your dirty little mouth, your not going to ruin my and Prince Diamond's relationship. Now get out of my sight before I feel the fancy to hit you again. Serena cheek stung but she wasn't going to cry in front of Emerald…she wouldn't. She pushed out her chair and slow and calmly left the dinning room with a feeling pride.
