Hello Readers, I am sorry about the problem that was wrong with chapter two of "The Red Diamond Child" I didn't check to see if the doc went through correctly I will have it fixed and resend it.
Neil was slowly gaining consciousness and realized he was laying down on a couch "Garnet you can't be serious, I mean we simply know nothing about him. He can be dangerous he can be a spy from gem home-world." Pearl said "it would be better if we locked him away." Pearl said and Neil stood up.
"hey wait no one is locking me up!" he said and backed away.
"wow bad timing to wake up." the purple girl said, hoped over the back and land on the couch.
"no one is getting locked up but it is very strange Steven is also a human-gem hybrid but Neil has more features of what we know about the red diamond gem." Garnet said and looked towards Neil. "So you want to know what is going on don't you" The tall red women said and he nodded "well I'll introduce everyone I am Garnet, you have already met Steven" Garnet said and Steven waved.
"Hey" he said.
"This is Pearl" Garnet said and gestured towards the white girl and she bobbed a curtsy to him.
"Hello" she said and the purple girl jumped up.
"And I'm Amethyst the person that knocked you out" Amethyst said laughing.
"Ahem, and we are the crystal gems the protectors of earth and you are the son of the red diamond gem which means your like Steven" Pearl said.
"So does that cover everything?"Garnet asked and he nodded his head.
"Well what are we supposed to do he is obviously not a local and his parents must be worried sick -" Pearl was interrupted.
"I...I don't have parents what the orphanage said is that my father left me at the door and told me he would come back and he never did..." Neil said and lowered his head to keep the others from seeing his eyes "I am a freak to them! They all laugh at me!" He yelled and the others saw as tears rolled down his face and drip on the floor. "today was probably the best day of my life because I met someone kind like Steven." Neil said and wiped his eyes with his sleeve "sorry for telling my sob story but yeah I don't care about them...any of them" he said.
Across town police and the caretaker were searching for Neil and went to a car. wash to ask around if they saw the missing child "excuse me Mr... Universe? I'm searching for a missing boy that is under the orphanage's care" the caretaker asked and Mr universe looks at the photo.
"I haven't seen him but I know some people who might have." he said "come on let's go there hop in" he said and the caretaker gets in and and was disgusted hold her breath.
"So where are we going?" She asked hoping to get out as soon as possible.
"The people live at the beach and I have to ask why are you looking for him" he asked and the caretaker turned to him.
"Well if you must know then fine that boy had started a fight with my poor son and beat him to a pulp and he didn't return during curfew. My poor son" she said .
Most of the drive was quiet until they got to the the broken fence and she saw the giant statue "wow that's massive who lives here" she asked "three...good people" he said and stopped the car and went to the front knocked on the door "Garnet, Pearl, Amethyst, Steven are you here" he asked and the caretaker saw Neil and thew the door open.
"What are you doing you little hooligan first you assault my son and then run to this home bothering these people come on I am taking you back and going to punish you" she said and grabbed Neil's wrist and he pulls away.
"No I won't go back!your son threatened this boy first and assaulted him and I defended him" Neil yelled back and the four came out to see what was happening.
"Dad do something help him please he's miserable" Steven asked his father.
"We would like to adopt Neil" Pearl said standing next to Garnet and Amethyst.
The caretaker smirked "legal documents?" She asked and the three were confused.
"without Legal documents you can not adopt him" she said and grabbed his shirt and was about to go outside. But was stopped by Steven's father.
"I'll adopt him" he said and showed his license
"we don't have any document papers on us you will have to-"
"I got one" the caretaker was cut off by Neil as he handed Steven's father the paper that was neatly folded in his wallet.
"But what about his stuff back at the orphanage" the caretaker asked trying to keep Neil from being adopted .
"You mean my clothing that is in my suitcase in my room at the motel" Neil said and the caretaker was getting more angry.
"You will not take him he doesn't deserve it" she said and Neil walked over to Steven's father she then left before doing anything stupid.
"Thanks a lot!" Neil said thanking Steven's father.
"No it's time for proper introductions I'm Greg Universe." Greg said and held out his hand to shake and Neil shook his hand.
"I'm Neil" he said.
"Well Neil you're a universe now" Greg said and Steven cheered.
"I have a brother! awkward sibling hug!" Steven said and hugged Neil. He smiled and hugged him back until the two broke apart.
"So I have to asked I notice you have magic and the weapon was magic so does that mean... I can make a weapon?" He asked excited.
"Oh boy" Amethyst said.
