Chapter 6

* I do not own Steven Universe all rights goes to Rebecca Sugar, the only thing that I own in this story is Cairo and Zircon I am also going to but a warning here this story is going to be dark and when I mean dark there's going to death, violence and torture there might be some lemon scenes further on but am not sure yet now without further ado let's get this story started*

The following day Cairo open his eyes and looked around he was expecting to see Pink and Pearl smile with happiness but he remembered that he was told to come back to Homeworld with White Diamond and is currently locked in a cell due, Cairo sighed as he realised that he fucked up but he also started to wonder what would it be like if he can gain back freedom. He looked down until he heard his cell door open and Zircon walked inside the cell looking at him with cold eyes, Cairo knew what was going to happen next and he felt himself feeling worse than before and he just cast his eyes down looking at the floor of his cell.

Zircon was shocked to see that after one day Cairo seemed to already be broken and was ready to obey White Diamond again, Zircon didn't know why but he started to worry and wonder if this keeps going then he would lose himself altogether. He wanted to shake that feeling out of his head but it was impossible he felt sorry for the young boy no one should have to go what he's going through so he had decided to betray White Diamond and get a hold of Pink Diamond in hopes that she can save him, he turned to look at Cairo and then said " your making progress so am going to talk to White Diamond" Cairo didn't look up and just nodded his head as he heard the cell door open and close.

Zircon walked out to the communication hub in order to talk to Pink but first before he does that he needs to report to White like usually or else she can get suspicious and everything he has planned could go into ruin, as he walked to the communication hub and dialled to call White he felt a sense of dread and he started to wonder if it was because he knew that when he told White of Cairo condition she's just going to order him to break him further. Zircon sighed and when he looked up he saw that White has answered and she smiled at him before saying "bring me some good news Zircon" Zircon started to become fearful and all the plan he had about saving Cairo went out the window, he quickly answered her and told her of Cairos process and the more he told her the more he noticed the happiness in her eyes as he finished she told him " good job Zircon please continue your training for the next 3 days and then I will come and pick up my son and take him back to pink."

Zircon nodded his head and he no longer bothered to contact Pink Diamond as he went back to the lab to start planning for Cairo sessions he had decided that he was going to train him 3 days straight without any rest, he wanted to make sure that Cairo well not try and escape White and he was going to break him down so much that he will only obey White and even sacrifice himself for her.

Back at his cell Cairo was worried about what was going to happen next he didn't want to lose any more of his humility as even though he was an orphan he still loved his human side, he knew deep down that White was going to break him until he acts and behaves like a high-class gem instead of your normal weak human. When all the thoughts started to race in his head he started to cry softly he wanted to escape and find the freedom he wanted to go back to Pink Diamond and Pearl, he also knew that it was impossible because as long as no one stands up to the Diamonds and make a change he himself would not be able to gain his freedom.

He sighed softly and started to sing, to him singing was his escape. It was his way of being free from all the pain that is happening to him, while he was singing he didn't notice that the two ruby guards protecting his cell started to feel sad and sorry for him he didn't know that his song was affecting them so much. One of the Ruby's wanted to just open the cell door and hug him as tight as she could and whisper sweet words to him and tell him that everything was okay, but she knew better then to do that she knew if she even thought about it that she was going to be in trouble and well be punished for it.

Cairo stopped singing as he started to feel tired and he knew that whatever Zircon talked to his mother about it wasn't going to be good so he decided that he was going to sleep early to make sure that he has enough energy to last him, as he falls asleep he dreamt of the times he was with Pink and Pearl even if it was not long he still felt a sense of happiness and joy from being around. This feeling he had was something he had missed after all being with White he was always locked up and was told to never talk to any gem lower than him and so he never made any friends, he whispered to himself that he was going to make it past these hard times and go back to them.

Cairo was fast asleep until he heard the cell door open and the sound of Zircon yelling at the Ruby guards to wake him up and prepare him for the sessions, Cairo sighed and open his eyes just as the Ruby guards were close enough to touch him and Zircon was in shock and surprised normally he had to get the guards to prepare him and wake him up but it looks like he decided to wake him himself. Zircon smiled coldly and said " good your awake let's go Cairo dear it's time to teach you some more lessons" Cairo looked at him and didn't say a word instead he got up and started walking towards Zircon before stopping and allowing Zircon and the Ruby guards to take him to the punishment room, as he was lead inside and strapped down once again on to the table he knew that his punishment was coming and there was nothing he can do about it.
