“How the fuck did Lapis get a copy of the file. We made sure that the judge would order all copies of the file destroyed” Peridot snapped as she rubbed the sides of her head trying to figure it out. Amethyst just laughed “Lapis owned that judge Peri, all she had to do was wave a hand and the file was her. It’s the reason her mother went to jail. Lapis had all the cards, she waved her hand and white went away. Lapis just didn’t use the damned thing until now and we were all stupid enough to believe that the file would be destroyed. An we can’t even do anything about it. Amethsty snapped as she glared at the open file on the bed.<br/><br/>The damned file, it was all of Jasper’s dirty laundry in one thick folder. Something that they thought was destroyed. It was something that no one talked about, it was something they had let go of and left in the past. But Lapis was still trying to get Jasper back, but it didn’t make sense to give it to Pearl. What was Lapis's game. Amethyst sighed as she moved to sit down on the edge of the bed taking a deep breath as she collected her thoughts. “We’re not surprised by it because we’re the ones who watched.. Who let it all happen. Peridot and I had just started hanging out when Jasper turned twelve, Jasper had always been a head strong fool and was ready to fight anyone. She didn’t have friends.. Sure she was part of every sports team she could get into.. But she never talked to any.  Never trusted anyone, until Lapis showed up” she looked down at her hands as she tries to find out what to say.<br/><br/>“Lapis and Jasper had clicked, in some strange way Lapis wasn’t afraid of Jasper. She was willing to push  Jasper’s buttons and challenge her. Jasper fell in love, she in love and Lapis saw the perfect tool. I knew Lapis, I knew her history and what she did to people. She used them, she was only out to be friends with someone if she could gain something from it. I tried to tell Jasper but she wouldn’t listen, I didn’t know Lapis the way she did. Soon Jasper was missing classes, getting into more fights and just down right becoming a monster. She got involved with Lapis's mother.. At the time we didn’t know what the woman did but once we learned the truth we were horrified..” Amethyst shuddered as memories came flooding back, Peridot moving to grab her hand turning to look at Pearl.<br/><br/>“Lapis's mother is a woman who goes by the name of White diamond. She is.. Er was one of the biggest companies in the state. She had her hands in everything from agriculture to running a literal zoo, on the surface she was the perfect CEO, behind the scenes she used brute force to get what she wanted, dealing in black mail, drugs and even money laundering . She threatened her competitors, she would send in her thugs and have the best the competition to the brink of death and then force them to sign over everything to her. Then she would use her connections to make it look like a friendly business deal. Lapis showed Jasper to White, Showed her how strong and destructive Jasper could be and that sealed Jaspers fate.” Moving to dig through the file Peridot put down a picture of white diamond, beside it a picture of Jasper at the time Jasper was only a quarter of her muscular size and only stood six feet tall.<br/><br/>“Lapis fed Jasper’s rage, gave Jasper targets. Made Jasper love hurting and destroying, Jasper was finally able to make others feel how she felt. Finally able to make people hurt as much as she did.. What Lapis and White didn’t expect was how much of a beast was in Jasper.. Jasper was allowed to run loose for a couple years, an then she went to far. A deal had fallen through and White couldn’t even, get the guy to bend with her usual threats, so she sent Jasper in” digging through the file Peridot put down a photo of a young business woman  “Her name was Rose Quartz, she was a dirty under handed player like white. She did what she wanted not really fearing what would happen.. An something about her.. Something about her just made Jasper snap and completely fall apart. Even Lapis commented about fearing for her life”<br/><br/>Peridot moved to Jasper’s large flat screen smart TV, attaching a cord from her phone to the screen and opening a file. Soon a video started playing, it was of Jasper in a room throwing the table and chairs around. Broken cuffs hanging around her wrists. At one point she turned to face the camera, her eyes were nothing but rage and hatred, there was no sign of the calm loving giant tiger that Pearl loved. Soon Jasper moved to the door grabbing the handle and ripping it off of its hinges, the door was thrown in the direction of the camera destroying  it and ending the video. Peridot sighed as she put her phone away “Jasper was put on house arrest, Yellow fought for a fair trial and I offered to take the case at no charge. White had been charged with multiple things and since Jasper was linked to her we were able to at least allow Jasper the freedom to go to therapy and show that she could be helped. I still don’t know what made her snap though..”<br/><br/>Amethyst sighed as her hands clenched into fists “I do.. Jasper told me when she felt all was lost. When she was going to be left to wolves. She told me everything because she wanted her kid to know the truth..” Turning to Pearl all Amethyst could do was stare “at this point Jasper was pregnant, She was facing life in jail and would never be allowed to see her daughter. We were running out of options and Lapis had all the cards.  White was going to jail, Lapis was inheriting the business. Lapis got control of the judges under whites thumb, she got Jasper out and then left Jasper when she found out she was pregnant, she wanted the monster that lurked in Jaspers mind.. Jasper wasn’t going to be the monster she wanted with a kid at home. Jasper also wanted Lapis to stop doing everything her mother had done. But Lapis refused.. Jasper was free, but once again she was alone. An for the longest time the world thought she was a monster waiting to attack.. She couldn’t get a job, no one would even consider dating her and parents told their kids to stay away from Mala. It’s only been the last couple years were Jasper has been able to even try and be out in the world”<br/><br/>“Enough! What the hell triggered Jasper!” Peridot snapped made Amethyst jumped slightly turning to face her lover. “Sorry.. It’s just hard to put it all into context” she muttered as she pulled out a photo of Rose and put it beside an adult photo of Jasper. The eyes were the same, both dark but caring. The jaw line was same, They almost looked like sisters. Peridot stared for a moment before her eyes went wide “It.. It can’t be..”<br/><br/>“Rose Quartz was Jasper birth mother…”<br/><br/>The sun had set hours ago, rain fell down hitting the windows of the office making a soothing sound, thunder and lightening flash and rumbling in the back ground. She had been waiting for the office to clear, at least for the thirtieth floor to clear to leave her and her target alone. White had told her not to hold back to make sure the target fell, to make the target beg and promise to do anything. She couldn’t wait to hear the screams, couldn’t wait to break another person.<br/><br/>She had been watching from a roof directly across from the skyscraper, she had counted the people going in and out every day, she’d watched to pick up any patterns she could, Monday night her target always seemed to stay late. Something Jasper was counting on, the target was Rose Quartz. The woman was older and had recently gotten into some money and was using her own dirty tactics to climb the social ladder of the state and country, something White couldn’t allow to happen.<br/><br/>When she was sure Rose was alone Jasper made her move, paying off security not to notice as she made her way to the elevator, the security camera’s in the building suddenly not working. Another well placed bribe, they would never know that Jasper had been there. It was always perfectly planned and never went wrong, as she pushed open the large doors Rose turned to face the woman. Not an ounce of fear on her face “Finally.. You show up.. Here I thought White was to cowardly to send you..” she purred while standing up, Jasper stopped for a moment and watched as Rose look her over, a weird look of pride in her eyes. “You know.. I always thought I made the wrong choice, but looking at you now I’m sure I made the right choice” Rose chuckled as she moved to circle Jasper.<br/><br/>“What the fuck are you talking about.. How the fuck do you know about me?” she snapped as she watched Rose quickly, ready for the woman to attack her if it happened  her body tensing as she her the woman laughing slightly “Oh I know a lot about you Jasper, like you’re an orphan. You’re just about to turn sixteen, your birthday is a month away and you were told your birth mother died..” Jasper froze as she a sense of dread filling her gut.<br/><br/>“Big deal, you hacked hospital records. Even I know how to do that. It’s not hard..”<br/><br/>“You’re mother didn’t die, you were never hand over to the orphanage. You were found in a dumpster in a back alley, you were left for dead and some how you had cried out long and loud enough for someone to find you.. For someone to save you.. You were suppose to die that night.. “ Anger ran through Jasper’s body, White had told her the truth about how she ended up in an orphanage, her birth mother hadn’t even cared enough to leave her on the door steps. She had even tracked down the man who saved her to confirm the story, an to thank him for what he’d done<br/><br/>“You’re birth mothers name was Pink Diamond, no relation to White Diamond  just so you know. No father or sire to speak of, but that doesn’t matter. What matters is that almost six years ago a child was born between Pink and a rather wealthy businessmen. When the child was born Pink blackmailed the man to hand over a enormous amount of money, he said all she had to do was get rid of the child for good. Pink did just that without a second thought,  after all this kid was just a pawn in a game and had no value. I  mean you were so tiny and scrawny, how you got so big is beyond me..” she chuckled as she moved her way back to the desk as Jasper shook with rage.<br/><br/>“Get to the fucking point..” Jasper snapped as she took a step forward, stopping when she heard the tell tale sound of a gun being cocked. “It’s rather rude to interrupt, didn’t your mother.. Oh never mind I guess she wasn’t around..”  a low chuckle escaped Rose's throat as she poured herself a drink while pointing her gun at Jasper. “So pink got the money and started investing, playing the game and working the market. But everyone thought she was related to white, which made some deals easy and others much harder. After all why would you take one diamond over another, so she decided to fake her death and make a new identity for herself. “ swirling her drink Rose moved pushing the gun into Jaspers throat pushing her head up.<br/><br/>“Pink diamond died of massive kidney failure, an Rose quartz was born the same day at the wonderful age of thirty nine with enough money in the bank to play the game. An here we are.. I’ve been Rose Quartz for four years now, an now.. Now people respect me.. Now people give me what I want and fear what I can do. An the only person standing in my way os the worthless brat I thought I dealt with years ago.. You can’t believe how annoyed I was finding out you were alive, an working for White too? How can you work against your own dear mot-“<br/><br/>Before she could finish her sentence the gun had been knocked from her hand, Jasper other hand had moved at blinding speed to crush the woman’s wind pipe. Lifting Rose off the ground, Jasper’s body was shaking with nothing but absolute rage. “You fucking cunt.. “ without much effort Jasper through Rose across the room into a wall, the force easily breaking it, Rose dropped to the ground in a heap as chunks of wall fell on top of her.<br/><br/>Rose moved to look up at Jasper, she thought Jasper would have fallen apart at the seems and been to upset to do anything. But all she saw was a completely crazed monster “Did you think..” Jasper moved to lift Rose up and slam the woman into of glass book cases “That you can just drop all that..” another book case, a wall and a fist to the hurt. “An I’m just going to fall apart..” three gut shots, face smashed into the desk and then thrown across the room.<br/><br/>“You’re the reason I’m angry, you’re the reason no one wanted me!” Lifting the woman above her head and throwing her through the office doors  into the cubicles, the fake walls falling like dominos as computers fell to the ground and shattered. Rose pushed off the ground spitting blood onto the floor. Jasper stomping toward her kicking her into the gut hard enough to lift her up.<br/><br/>“I went through seven homes! Each one worst then the last! No one can love a freak like me, no one will truly love me because of what I am! No one will want to deal with my baggage!” tears were streaming down her face as she liftes Rose up by her shirt “I wish I had died in that fucking dumpster! Then I wouldn’t have to live with the fact that my so called birth mother thinks I’m a monster just like everyone else!” throwing the woman across the room Jasper grabbed a chair and smashed open of the large windows, thunder and lightening cracking against the sky. Looking back at Rose all Jasper could do was smirk, a dark empty smirk. “I wonder if you’ll scream loud enough for someone to save you” she snapped as she moved to pick Rose up dragging her across the room.<br/>Lifting the woman up she held the woman out of the now broke window, rain soaking Rose in seconds as it started to pour. Reaching up to grip Jasper’s wrist as panic filled her eyes, but soon a large smirk appeared on her face “You don’t have the guys.. You’re weak.. You were weak the minute you were born and you’ll always will be weak. You wont let go.. An even if you don’t it wont fill that void inside of you. You’re worthless, you’re broken and you’ll always be a monster” Rose started laughing as her head fell back, even as Jasper let go the woman laughed at the top of her lungs, going silent when she hit the ground.<br/><br/>“Rose died that night.. It was all over the news and it all traced back to White, an then everything went to shit from there. I asked Jasper why, why did she go so far. She told me the story, she told me in detail what the woman had done and what she had said, Jasper killed her own mother and she still felt like the woman won, that the woman owned her and she would never truly be free of everything she’d done, an no matter how much good Jasper has done and everything she will do will never make up for who she came from or the things she’s done..”
