A/N more short chapters, tut tut
"Why, why oh why, did I say that? My mind was racing with thoughts of regret as I sat cross legged in a cold and dreary cell. Why didn't she shatter me? Why didn't she shatter me where I stood and end all this mayhem? After all, to quote her words, she could 'easily get a new one', so why didn't she? I was half disappointed, because what else was left? All happiness had drained right out of me long ago when White Diamond had started acting this way. She was never like this before, and I had no idea what caused her to change so suddenly. One day we were having a laugh and the next, she went all grave and serious. Each day she got worse and I had to stand by and watch, not even knowing what was going on. There were rumours that Pink Diamond was shattered by a brave Rose Quartz, which would explain a lot as they were extremely close. This was all I had to do here. Just sit and think about life, because nothing new would be happening in it anytime soon. But had I really given up? Had I really given up on my wish from long ago to make a difference and to not just be one in a crowd of millions? A tear escaped my eye and I covered my face with my hands.
"So you are the White Pearl my diamond told me about." I gasped and noticed a beautiful cream pearl standing by the door, showing two emotions in her eyes; sympathy and guilt. She practically glided inside the room and silently shut the door behind her.
"WhoAreYou?AreYouTheReplacementForMe?WhatAreTheyGoingToDoWithMeNowImNotNeededTheyllShatterMeICantDoThi-" She hushed me and smiled.
"I do not know my diamond's plans for you. Personally, I see you as more of a victim, not the abuser."
"But why are you here?"
"I...I was curious, I guess. After all, who wouldn't want to meet the gem who 'dared to disrespect her master?' Personally I find it rather inspiring."
"You find it..me...inspiring?" Cream Pearl reached up a hand to fix her hair (which was already perfect) and nodded.
"Of course. I find that it's strangely motivating how someone can just speak their feelings in such a situation. And yes, I am White Diamond's new pearl, but do not think she isn't upset about losing you, I..may or may not have heard her when she was in her chambers. Well, I shall be going. Wouldn't want my diamond to know I'd been with a bad influence, now would we?" She grinned and tapped her nose before turning to leave in the same manner she entered, silent and graceful. I breathed out a breath I didn't realise I was holding. Was she...was she actually on my side?
