The next day, White Diamond had came back. She strangely seemed distant against Tourmaline when she greeted her back. Tourmaline took it well and just assumed that she was busy.
Onyx was now even more nervous and jittery after what happened yesterday. She was still in disbelief that she wanted to kiss her. Strangest part was how disgusted Tourmaline was after it. 'I mean, If she didn't like it then why would she even ask?' Onyx thought. That didn't make her like Tourmaline any less though. The black gem was just sitting in their room and until she heard Tourmaline coming back after greeting White Diamond back from the court.
"Hi…" Onyx nervously greeted. "Hey."
"Is there something wrong? You seem out of it…" Tourmaline groaned. "And what makes it look so obvious, you idiot?" "You sound like things didn't go so well…" Onyx simply responded. "Everything was fine but White Diamond seemed distant for some reason." The mint green gem sighed. "It's cool though, I'm pretty sure she's just busy at the moment." Onyx looked down. "Oh…well did she give us a new assignment?" She asked. "No for some reason…it's weird because whenever she comes back she normally has something for me to do."
Onyx then thought about Charoite for a bit. 'Is she really gonna be okay on her own? I'm not certain she can keep up her gig as a normal non traitorous gem to the Blue Court here…' She was snapped out of her thoughts by Tourmaline flicking her on the head. "Ow!"
"Have you been listening to me?" She harshly asked. Onyx rubbed her head. "Yeah, You were talking about how White Diamond was busy!" Tourmaline crossed her arms. "That's what I was talking about before dummy! I was just talking about seeing how Charoite's doing! Hmph. Dummy…"
'So Toury is thinking about her too. W-Wait did I just call her Toury..?! Oh man she'd kill me if I ever called her like that…!' Onyx thought. Tourmaline put her hands on her hips. "Well? Are you just gonna stay here and let me visit her alone, or are you coming?" She asked. Onyx was thinking about how Charoite was doing but she didn't necessarily think of visiting her. But she remembered that it's required by White Diamond to stay with her gem at all costs even if she didn't want to. 'Not like I have anything else better to do…' She thought. "Okay okay, Don't worry I'm coming…" Onyx said as she followed behind.
As they reached her door, Tourmaline knocked twice for Charoite to answer but it seemed like no one was there. "You think she's at Blue Diamond's court again…?" Onyx asked in her normal tone. "Eh calm yourself. I saw her with White Diamond earlier, I'm pretty sure she's just looking over or designing some tech with her." Tourmaline reassured her.
After a few hours, They sat near her door and were still waiting for Charoite to show up. "Okay this is taking forever, Hey Onyx you wanna see if she's with White Diamond?" The gem with twintails asked. "Huh? Wh-Why..?"
"Well duh! To see if she's with White Diamond and NOT in the Blue Court again! She could get killed there you know!" Tourmaline blatantly reminded. Onyx nodded and followed her to White Diamond's room.
As they reached her room, The door was only slightly open. Immediately after they peaked inside, they heard White Diamond shout.
"AFTER HER!" She ordered what appeared to be Ruby guards who were on her log. "What's happening?!" Tourmaline shouted. The two gems then saw Charoite running out of White Diamond's room. Onyx grabbed her arm. "Charoite, What's going on?!" "They're after me!" She immediately responded. "The Ruby guards aren't here yet! Get out of here!"
"What? No! We're not gonna let them lay their hands on you!" Tourmaline said as she held both of her shoulders. "No! You don't understand! If they find out that I got you two involved, You could suffer the same consequences as me!" The cybernetic gem yelled.
"Wait what? What do you mean conse- "THERE SHE IS!" A voice yelled. The three gems turned around and saw 3 Ruby guards. "Guys get out of here." Charoite said demandingly. "What?!" The two other gems asked.
"I SAID GET OUT OF HERE!" Charoite yelled as she pushed the two back. She summoned her scythe as the Ruby guards fused. Tourmaline grunted. She wouldn't let a fellow member of a guard go down like this. She grabbed both Onyx and Charoite and teleported out of the White Court.
White Diamond stormed out of her room. "WHERE DID SHE GO?!" She asked loudly. "She teleported off with two other gems my Diamond!" One of the Ruby guards responded. 'Two other gems…?'
"SEARCH ALL OF THE COURTS FOR THAT TRAITOR! WE CANNOT LET HER GET AWAY WITH HER CRIMES." "At once, My Diamond." The Ruby guards said as they left.
