Chapter 7 Betrayal

Obsidian's POV

Obsidian, I was just one of many of my kind. Hailing differences but each individual has one uniqueness. I was made in the Homeworld, just like the others. We were all made to serve and protect our ruler, the Diamonds. They are powerful and royal, like how a leader should be. Each of us gems has their own mission, given to them by one of the Diamonds. Each has their own purpose for whether they are to protect or to serve.

I had my highest loyalty to the supreme as they care of our being. Historical legends say that some gems rebelled for the sake of protecting a planet, a planet that has life and natural resources. That was, in my opinion, one of the most incompetent move I have ever heard. Surely the Homeworld would've taken control over it but I was wrong. The rebellious gems took victory in the matter of their own hands. I was in shock and utter disappointed.

While I was training, I stumbled upon Onyx, gems around say that he was with the rebellion and he was kept in prison for a reason. I saw him covered with bruises and cuts. It was an awful sight to see but then when I bumped into him he wasn't fazed. His eyes were empty and his face showed no emotions. He just excused himself and went along. Shivers went down my whole mass, I didn't know why.

I was then promoted to a higher rank but then I found out that I would be working with Onyx. At first I felt discomfort and suspicious of my so called partner but the higher ranks had much more authority than I do. I sighed knowing there is no escape to his already.

We have been going through missions together and he kept saving me from danger. At first I didn't know what to react but I was moved by his gesture. Then I started growing feelings that I didn't know how to react properly to. All I know is that it is all for Onyx. We grew close over the past decades but whenever I look at his eyes, it was always empty.

He started calling me a name I would've never thought anyone would call me, "Obsi". He said it was short for Obsidian but I didn't care about that, all I care is the stronger bond we have grown together. I couldn't take more of what I just have. I held on a relationship that couldn't process further. I waited for the moment he would have mutual feelings as I would but it never came.

I was impatient. I couldn't wait any longer so after a mission, I told him everything. But that was one of my mistakes. He rejected me and left me where I stood. I just watched him grow farther and farther away from me as I stayed there watching. These feelings have kept me so broken that I couldn't understand what was happening around me.

I locked myself in my chambers, not caring after myself. It was so idiotic of me to do so. I received a message stating that Yellow Diamond wants to see me but I was in my own darkness. The gem I looked up to was the person I betrayed just for a stupid rejection. I will not forgive myself for what I had done but I didn't care for a while. For several days I stayed in there until they took me away. It was said that Yellow Diamond ordered them to and chained my form. They blinded my eyes as I felt heavy steps coming towards me.

She told me that this would be my last and final warning if I ever deceived her again. After several days I felt fear, the only thing I can feel right now. After a while I felt a painful electrical shock coming from my left arm. I screamed in pain as it started to go through my whole arm. After minutes they stopped. Tears were dropping down as I felt relieved that it was over. Then I heard footsteps far away. They left me there for a whole night. I was surprised that I haven't retreated back to my gem.

I recovered from my horrible threat. The fear is still there, the pain that I felt. It feels as if I was treated like a monster, but it's alright. Yellow Diamond did this for my own good. She really cares for us gems. She wants the good in us. She might've also known about what Onyx did to me and what I'm doing to myself that's why she saved me from that horrible memory.

After that incident, I never talked about it ever again. I just did my duties and proceeded on like nothing ever happened. Onyx came up to me. He said that he was worried about my being. I felt that warm feeling again. No, I must stop myself from this. I saw him notice the burn. It was a nasty burn. I believe it cannot be healed as well. We talked about it like a casual conversation but Onyx still had doubts. Even in his doubts, his eyes would always be empty.

Today marks the 5th millennium I have met with Onyx. Today was also the day Onyx will be rewarded by her Highness. Sadly, I didn't have a gift for Onyx in his celebration. I thought about it a while as I was walking towards my servers. I'm in charge of giving a daily report to Yellow Diamond. I couldn't think of any better work than to visit her daily. One gem handed me a report stating that Peridot, facet-2F5L Cut-5XG with her escourt Jasper has landed safely on to planet Earth but there was no more than that information was given. I asked for further more report about the Peridot and Jasper but it seems that they have lost contact of them.

Before I could leave, one gem came up to me stating about Onyx. She said that she knows a quarter where his old belongings are. That gave me an idea. That would be a perfect gift for Onyx! I thanked the gem and headed for the quarter. I saw a file with Onyx's name on it and all it was in was just an unknown thing. It was also in half but I just shrugged it off.

I sneakily went to Onyx's chambers before he could take any suspicion and luckily I saw him leave. I quickly went inside and placed his belonging in. I quickly went out to not miss his ceremony. After the ceremony was finished, I made my way to her Highness. She was giving a look I can't explain but she got the message. We went to a room that was quite spacious and wide.

Her Highness boomed her voice at my report and as we finished speaking, I made a gesture before I left. I quickly went to my chambers and dropped off most of my armor. Then Onyx came talking about leaving Homeworld and going with him to Earth. He talked about the wonders there was to it but then I had doubts. What could be so important about Earth? And that's when he showed me that thing I gave him. It had a name written on it. "Pearl". He said that he would finally meet the one he truly loved. I felt myself shatter inside. I shouldn't have given him this thing, it just made me cringe and doubtful about everything.

Then I took notice about his eyes. His eyes were full of wonder and life unlike before. It was the very first time I saw him like that. I was sad to think that I wasn't the one who made that emptiness whole again. I decided not to waver about my emotions even if the pain slowly kills me inside.

We secretly left with Onyx and we landed safely to the planet Earth. I forgot how he was a rebel to the Homeworld and that he chose to protect this planet over home but I found out that there was another reason why he chose to fight for it. It's because of the one he loves. When we arrived, I saw a Pearl standing there and ran away then other gems came but we weren't greeted warmly. We were sent away because of Onyx doing something to the one he loves.

After that meeting, Onyx cried. It was one of the many emotions he has hidden. I hated how he loved this Pearl over me. We have been together for so long but he didn't return my feelings. It was 6,000 years ago for stars' sake! Then the same day, he said that he would go out for a walk alone. I just nodded but I followed him. This planet was so new to me. This was the planet where the rebels have protected. Rebels. All of the gems that were here were rebels.

Onyx just sat down and gazed up. He was sitting there for a while and my thoughts were fighting if I should go with him or no but my thoughts were interrupted when I saw that Pearl again. They were sitting close to each other. After a while, I saw them kissed. I couldn't take much more of this any longer. I ran away, not caring if they heard me and went back to the ship. I took the communicator with me. It was the direct Diamond communication channel. I made a call immediately and told her Highness everything that happened before Onyx came. I quickly hid the communicator.

"I'm sorry it had to be this way Onyx. But if I can't have you…nobody will"
