Nora POV
Amethyst continues going on and on about the kindergarten, rthe gems who were made here, and the time before she joined my Mom and the Crystal Gems. I don't know why, but my I start to wonder if my Mom was made here too. Maybe she came to be before Amethyst did.
Why did she decide to have me, though? She was a wonderful, cherished leader. She had everything she could have ever wanted! So why am I here? Did she create me just to deal with her mess? Is that all that I was made for?
Kids my own age all avoid me, so I can't even find a healthy distraction from all this gem stuff. I mean, I know that I'm not a normal kid. I'm something different. What I am has never existed before, and likely won't exist again. I mean, how does a human gem hybrid even happen? A better question is why did she do it? Why did my mom leave the greens behind? Did she even care? Did she even think about she'd hurt them, hurt me? Were we all that worthless to her? How is it that a rebellion leader was so selfish? Everyone tells me how wonderful she was, but if she was so great, then why'd she leave them all behind?
Her war isn't over yet. The diamonds are still out there. They're still furious about what mom did to their... Sister? I guess? Yeah, white is the oldest, the mom. Then, Yellow and Blue are the next oldest, the older sisters. Pink was the youngest, and now she's dead. Mom killed her hundreds of years ago.
I can't even begin to imagine how badly they were hurt. I mean, they were supposed to be immortal, but then they lost their baby sister. How much would that hurt someone? They must've been shattered, no pun intended.
" Nora? Earth to Nora. You in there Nora?" Amethyst calls. Her voice sounds a million miles away. Is there something wrong with me?
Amethyst POV
She's lost in thought again? That's the third time this week! Why does this keep happening? Is there something going on in her head that keeps causing this? Maybe I can help! If she'd just let me in, then I could help her! Please, Nora, just let me into your head. Let me help you, sweet girl!
Pearl POV
I don't care how curious Nora is about the gem war! The kindergartens are too dangerous for her! Besides, I know for certain that Rose never would have wanted Nora to see such a horrible place! I know that she wouldn'tve. Honestly, I'm just trying to keep Nora safe. If the Diamonds find out that she exists, then she could be shattered for bearing the gem of Rose Quartz! Does she not think about that? Does she not think about the fact that they would believe her to be her mother?!
" Pearl! The more you try to shelter her, the more you're going to push her away! Let Nora learn the hard truth for herself. She's old enough to handle it now, and if needed, she has decent control over her powers." Garnet says coldly. I frown bitterly but nod my head in surrender. There is just no arguing with Garnet. She's always right.
Garnet POV
I understand where Pearl's worry is coming from, but Nora is a very tough girl. She is smart enough to know what it is that she's getting into. I've watched her battle hologram Pearl and win without struggle. She's an extraordinary child, and with the proper motivation and training, she can go far in this life.
Nora POV
Amethyst and I continue exploring the kindergarten until the sun starts to set, telling me that it's time to go home. I don't want to go back, but Pearl will start looking for us soon if we don't. I don't want to bring her wrath down on us. It's been a long day as it is.
" Welcome home, you two." Pearl says begrudgingly. I smile a bit and head back to my room to update my gem journal and get some sleep. Tomorrow is going to be another day, and no matter what happens, I am going to live it to the fullest.
