Misfits

Chapter 9

Peridot's Pov

Sigh... I let Lapis down.

I still have my mate to worry about and Lapis likes me...

I straightened my posture and went towards to the Jewelry shop to fetch Lapis' present.

As I was walking down the street, a boy was being smuggled by a robber.

"Please, I told you that I don't have any money! Just leave me alone!" Wait, is that?

"Steven? What are you doing here?" I said, making the robber stop what he was doing.

"Well well well, what do we have here. What are you doing at this time of night cutie?" The robber... Flirted?

Ew.

"Okay, just let the boy go, and we'll just handle this like regular, civilized adults." I said, putting my hands up on defense.

The robber laughed and pointed his knife towards me.

"You, An adult? Don't make me laugh girly." He was shaking with laughter.

Ugh, he was so annoying. He was right though, even if I wasn't short, I was still a teenager.

I scoffed. My claws sharpened, I made sure that the guy didn't see it happening though.

I slowly walked towards them, hiding my clawed hand behind my back.

"Now now, I said let the boy go. Then I'll let you off easy." I was glaring at the robber by now.

"And what would you possibly do? Nag me to death?" The robber smirked at me before bursting out laughing.

My wolf growled, not liking the way he was insulting me.

A snarl escaped my lips. The man's eyes widened.

In an instant, a bloodied hand fell.

The man screeched in pain as he held his severely injured arm.

"What the Fvck did you do to me you fvcking piece of sh*t!" He yelled at me while glaring hard.

"I just did something that you pricks deserve. Now, if you go out telling someone that I did this to you, you'd lose something far more important than your hand. You hear me?!" I yelled at his face.

He just ran away, stumbling as he ran on rocky roads.

I looked at Steven, his eyes showed that he was afraid. Afraid of what will happen to him.

"Steven, don't worry. He's gone now, you don't have to be afraid anymore." I said, getting near him.

He took a step back. What...

He was looking at me, at my hands. I was confused. I looked down and I gasped.

Red. All I can see was red coating my hand.

The smell of blood was entering my nose. It made me feel nauseous. I wiped the blood on my shirt, staining it red.

"Look Steven, you don't have to be afraid, I only did it so that you would be safe. I didn't really mean what I did to him." I said, making my hands on defense position, showing him that I have no intentions of harming him.

Why isn't his demon side showing anyways?

"Why isn't your demon side showing steven." I said, giving him a suspicious look.

"I asked Pearl to give me a potion that could hide my demon side, so I could roam around the place." He said looking down.

"Well now you know that you shouldn't even be outside monster territory. You could've been seriously hurt if I hadn't shown up Steven..." I said, patting his head with the hand that was not tainted with blood.

"You know, you're right... If it wasn't for you, I'd be hurt right now.. So thanks Peridot... I mean it." He said, smiling at me.

I smiled back and he walked back towards the academy.

I went to the Jewelry shop after that Fiasco and greeted the man.

"Hey, have you finished doing what I asked for? I hope so. Because if not you wouldn't get your tip." I smirked, teasing him

He chuckled, "Of course I did ma'am. I wouldn't wanna miss that tip now do I?" He grinned.

He handed me a box with a dark blue ribbon on it. I opened the box and there lay the most beautiful necklace I've ever seen.

"Wow..." I whispered. I held it in my hands and everytime it gets hit by light, it shines.

I could also see my reflection on it which was pretty neat.

"Thanks for doing this." I smiled at the guy.

"No probs, if you ever need anything, just give me a call." He smiled back and handed me a calling card with his name and number on it.

I nodded and payed him the final end of the deal and added 50 dollars in it for the tip.

He seems shocked about how large the tip was, but I only explained that it was only because he made it special.

He nodded and waved a bye as I went back to our dorm.

How he didn't notice the blood on my shirt, I didn't know.

I went inside, seeing Lapis curled up on her bed. It was almost midnight when I went home. Maybe dealing with the robber and Steven took a while than I thought.

I placed the box behind my clothes and the rose was placed in a small vase right next to the box.

I phewed and hoped that Lapis won't see that tomorrow.

I went to bed and opened the light of the lamp on my nightstand.

I took my phone and texted Jasper about Lapis' birthday tomorrow and asked if she would bring a cake.

Gladly she accepted as long as I would buy her lunch for the next whole week. I couldn't argue with that. Some cakes are really expensive. Even if they were just for birthdays.

I asked her to put some message on it. She said that she'll handle whatever was placed there so I got worried that she might pull a prank on both Lapis and I.

I just hoped that tomorrow would be a blast for Lapis, I already planned everything that we would do, unless it gets cut short by her freaking beloved.

I don't wanna steal Lapis from her beloved, because I know that it hurts to be away from the person you love.

I just hope that my love will get returned some day..

I pray to the moon godded that I wish I could be happy too.

My eyes felt droopy so I charged my phone and cuddled next to my soft pillow. I snuggled deep into the covers and closed my eyes.

Darkness engulfed me as I fell asleep.
