The Princess and The Peasant ~ Lapidot

Chapter 3: The Peasant

Lapis closed her book and placed it in her draw and locked it. She kept personal thinks in that journal. It was kind of her only friend. Lapis got changed into her blue night gown and jumped into her bed, blew out the candle and closed her eyes.

Tomorrow is just going to be another boring day.

Meanwhile at 12:30 AM the next morning

"Hahaha clods you'll never catch me!" A green gem ran through the Dark Lands. She goes by the name Peridot.

Peridot had just been thrown away by Homeland and was sent to the Outlands to die. Peridot was to smart for that and escaped. But she needed a place to hide. Shs was currently being chased by a group of guards.

"Yikes!" Peridot saw a castle and ran towards it she went through the gates and turned right. She ran through the castle garden and noticed a balcony on the wall and began to climb it wall. The wall was old and easy to clinb. When she got to the top - she was now standing on a balcony. Luckily none of the guards knew where she was. Peridot let out a breath she held and accidentally fell backwards opening a glass door as she fell to the floor.

Peridot breathed sharply as she felt pain in her elbows. When Peridot stood up she noticed she was in a blue room. A bed placed in the centre against the wal. A wardrobe, a desk, some drawers, a mirror and a makeup table, were leaning against the wall opposite the bed. A nightstand at either side of the king sized bed.

Where the gem am I? She thought. Peridot noticed a painting in the room and walked towards it.

Lapis let out a small snore. Peridot froze. She didn't realise she wasn't alone. Turning her head around she noticed the person was asleep. She let out a sigh of relief and turned her attention back on the painting.

It was a painting of.... BLUE DIAMOND AND THE PRINCESSES!

Peridot let out a small shriek and fell backwards causing the Princess to wake up.

"Who's there?! I swear blue P if it's you trying to read my diary I-" Lapis stopped talking. She saw a girl as green as grass, her emerald green eyes. Her gem was placed on her forehead protected by some sort of glass. The girl was short but her hair was huge. It was shaped like a dimond, and blonde. Lapis jumped.

It's one of Yellow Diamonds assassins!

Lapis noticed three glasses of water water on her nightstand. (Just incase she'd get thirsty). She gestured a peace sigh and curved them slowly. The two glasses of water were now empty and the water was now in the air, darting towards the green gem.

Peridot was frozen, she didn't know what to do. But it was too late. The princess had already caught her. The water turned into water chains and chained Peridot against the wall. Lapis jumped out of bed and with the third glass the turned the water into a gun and held it infront of Peridots face.

"Who sent you? Speak or I'll drown you."
