Yellow Human

Chapter 2

Amara starts her day at 4am with the of sound her alarm. She gets up, makes her bed, tidies her room, and dresses in uniform. She then heads to the bathroom to fulfill her basic needs. As she walks out of her small barracks she notices that her Malaysia members are all in their proper places. It's currently 5:27am. In just 3 minutes she will call for her troops and start their training.

Amara sighs, bored of the same day every day. Military life is no way of fun living. She had found herself reminiscing over her lower class days. When she would eat breakfast and fool around with her mate. She had always strived to be an elite, but now that she is, she has nothing to work for anymore.

"Line up!" She yelled. Every soldier had scurried to their proper places and awaited her next direction.

Steven had just walks on base around 10:30 am, knowing they are due for a break any minute. He watches as the commander gives orders and fulfilled their last training session of the day.

"Line up!" She commands. "You have 20 minutes. I expect you back in line the second your time is up. Understand?!"

"Understood!" The troops shouted back.

"Fall out!" With that the troops disperse.

"Amara!" Steven rushes over to her before he misses his chance to speak with her.

"Steven, how can I help you?" Amara asked wile walking towards the kitchen. Steven hurried after her, finding it hard to keep up with the tall and stocky woman.

"Do you remember the conversation we had last week?"

"I do."

"We decided to take your advice and reclaim our places on the throne."

"Good."

"I have a proposition for you." She turned to him with an uncertainty in her eyes. "I have a job offer."

"What job?!" She was shocked. There was no other way to describe how she felt. How could she ever have a job alongside any gem. She has been fighting them for years. Her entire career was fighting off the rebellious gems.

"Well, there is not a title for it right now, but-"

"There isn't even a title? Why would I ever take a job with no title?" She interrupts while she grabs the slop, they called 'lunch,' from the cooks.

"There will be a title soon. We just need to find one that will fit well. You see, this job is includes a few different expertises."

"So, what exactly would I be doing?"

"You would be in charge of communications with the rebellion. You will also have a team of gems to assist you in both capturing gems reveling against our new hierarchy and rehabilitating those who have been captured. Our main goal is to have everyone out of the prison and in society. Yellow Diamond will teach you everything about gem technology. We know this will be difficult, but we trust you are up for the challenge."

"And you think I can do this in my short life?"

"We believe you will at least get the ball rolling and set precedent for your replacement before your time is up."

"What will the pay be?"

"Well, there is no currency on Home-world. Instead of actual payment we will provide you with everything you will need to live. Anything you want from earth will be shipped to Home-world and you will have full access to the diamond lounging rooms. We have a sauna and a large pool for you to enjoy."

"You mean to say this job includes relocating to Home-world?"

"Yes."

"You should have lead with that, Steven!" She sighed. "I will consider your offer."

"Great! When you have made up your mind just give me a call on this." He proceeds to pull out a perfect half cylinder rock. "Just flick your wrist like this for it to activate." As he demonstrated a large jagged holographic screen appeared above the rock.

Amara grabs the stone from Steven. "Alright then. I'll let you know."

The diamonds had announced their royal status early this morning. The tape had been replaying on every television and gem broadcast station across the galaxy. Most gems had cheered and hollered in joy. While some were disappointed in the lack of freedom. The rest hadn't a care in the world asking as long as they could continue their life as they were. The rebellion had already shrunk in half. All in all, the diamonds were pleased with the outcome.

They are currently at another royal meeting. Steven is eager to get home to his family. Turns out making a new government takes all your time away, but he had already been warned by pearl. She had been the hardest to convince that this was a good idea. She knew how depressed his mom was under their rain and she was worried the same was going to happen to their little boy.

"The rebellion has decreased greatly." White said with a smile, still looking at her screen.

"Yes. I am glad." As Yellow finished her statement Steven's screen had shifted from notes to a picture of the tall and strong woman he had spoke to just a few days ago, signaling a call was ringing through.

"Do you mind if we pause to answer this? It's the human commander Yellow wants." Seven got 3 head nods in response. Yellow looked to be a little more nervous now awaiting her answer. Steven excepted her call. "Hello, Amara."

"Hello, sir. I have considered your offer."

"Great, but call me Steven"

"No." With this both Yellow and Steven had frowned.

"Oh, I understand. Thanks for the consideration of my offer." He sounded so sorrow.

"What? No, that's not what I meant!" She laughed. I'm not gonna call you Steven. It would be unprofessional to call my boss by his first name." She clarified herself.

Yellow was instantly overcome with joy. She didn't understand why exactly she felt so happy. She just had a good feeling about this human. "Could this day get any better?"

"Who was that?" Amara questioned Steven, not seeing the three diamonds behind the screen.

"That was Yellow. We were in the middle of a meeting. We will send a ship your way. Will 2 days be long enough for you to collect your things?"

"Plenty. See you then." With that Steven ended the call.

"Yellow," Steven starts with a small giggle. "Why are you so excited over a human?"

"I have a lot of questions and who better to answer them than a human."

"You could always ask me."

"I have. You don't know anything about a human's childhood, except that you didn't have one." She laughs, putting her finger in the air to add drama to her point.

"Oh, that's true." They all erupt into laughter. "Okay, let's continue."
