Chapter 3

Pearl's POV

What am I going to do? Onyx…he-he came back. I don't know how to tell him. He's been gone for years and Ice has comforted me within those years. Of course, with the help of Rose, Garnet and Amethyst. Ice helped me in my time of grief that at that moment I realized that he was always there for me. Even at my hardest with Rose gone. He helped me so many times. Then one day, he just surprised me to visit a place in the city and after that, he confessed his feelings towards me. Now me and Ice have been dating for years now. We have been living through together that I feel our bond will become much stronger. And then Onyx came. My heart went back to those painful memories that we had. The times when we stayed together the longest. I don't know, but when I saw him, my heart was filled with joy. He is still the one that my heart wants. But, I am dating Ice. *frustrated moan* I'm confused!

Flashback

Pearl's POV

No. He-he…was taken..away from me. We-we-we were…supposed to live…happily….This letter….this locket….it's beautiful…but it can't bring back Onyx.

I fell down on my knees as I stared at the ocean. I was still hoping he would come back. I was begging he would come out of the water; tell me that this was all a big joke. But he never came up nor tells me that was a joke. I hugged my knees and rested my head on my arms. I didn't want all of this to happen. I never imagined that this would happen. I heard splashing coming from the water. I looked up hoping that it was Onyx but it wasn't. It was just Prince Ice. Ice probably saw the redness of my eyes. He quickly went to my side.

"Pearl?" I didn't hold on much longer and cried in his arms.

"H-Hey, What's going on? Why are you crying?" I looked up at him.

"I-It's Onyx" He quickly shot up. A look of rage in his eyes.

"Why, Did he break up with you? That little-"

"NO! It's much worse than that!" I cried even louder. He's quiet so I continued.

"He's dead" He was in shock. I just carried on with my crying.

"Let's go inside the temple. We need to tell the others."

I hesitated to go at first. I wanted to stay there until Onyx comes back but he picked me up from my seat and stood me up. We walked to the temple and I saw the gems were whispering something. When they looked at me, they suddenly smiled. Amethyst jumped at me and asked.

"Did you say yes? Of course you did! WOHOO! PARTY TI-" She paused when I had an unhappy look. The gems look worried. Rose came upfront and asked.

"Pearl, is everything all right?" I looked at Garnet. My rage was starting to grew. I lunged straight to her.

"Did you know?!" Garnet kept silent. She just adjusted her visors. Rose and Ice held each of my arm.

"Woah, Pearl, you must tell us what's wrong." I couldn't hold it in and I cried. I fell down on my knees and I did nothing but cry in the temple. Ice just comforted me, so did Rose and Amethyst.

"Why are you crying Pearl?" Amethyst, showed concern. I heard Garnet sighed.

"It's because of Onyx…he..He's gone. He's dead."

"So it is true." When I heard those words I lunged straight to Garnet.

"IF YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?!" Amethyst and Ice was holding me back.

"Pearl! Garnet may have Future Visions but that doesn't mean she can warn us about what event is supposed to happen. There are many different reasons why Onyx died." Rose's tone at first scared me because she was angry but now her eyes are now filled with compassion. She caressed my cheek and spoke.

"Onyx died of saving your life. Onyx did this because he loved you Pearl, that he would risk his own life to save yours." A tear spilled as I looked at Rose. She wiped it with her thumb.

"But Rose…Why did it have to happen? Why him?"

"Because we are destined with so many fates that it is possible that one unusual event that you thought can never happen to you, happens." I was feeling much calm this time. I hugged Rose as she hugged back. Rose looked at Ice.

"Your majesty, I thank you for bringing my dear Pearl here in the temple." Ice just bowed down his head and proceeded to leave the temple.

Ever since then, Ice would often come here to the temple and visit me and ask if I was alright. Then we became close. Years after, we heard that Greg and Rose were getting married and having a child. My heart broke from those words. I knew what would happen when a gem has a child. Rose will be leaving half of her to her child. We helped build the house around the temple and made a lot of baby stuff. I dreaded for the day of Rose's birth to her son whom she call Steven. That day was today.

"Are you okay Pearl?" I was startled when Onyx came to my part of the temple. He was clearly wandering off. He chuckled.

"Woah, I'm sorry I scared you. I came by to give you these." He gave me a bouquet of flowers. I smiled as I remembered memories. We walked out of the temple. Then I remembered Ice. He told me he was coming over today. Now what do I do?

Onyx's POV

I'm starting my normal day by hanging out with Pearl. My heart just won't stop beating so fast. Her appearance has changed so much that I can't stop looking at her. She's so beautiful, even more beautiful than before. She has blossomed into the beautiful flower she has once been.

"I have planned for this day so don't you worry about anything, my sweet." I took her hand and kissed it. I saw a blush from her cheeks. I didn't let go of her hand as we stepped outside the temple and outside the house. I was too busy looking at Pearl when she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She froze where she stays. Pure shock was written across her face. I looked at the direction she was looking at. I saw Ice. I grew enraged. I was waiting to get my revenge for how many years. He has destroyed our beautiful bond with Pearl. Ice was also angry. He pointed at me.

"YOU! Hands of my girlfriend!"
