    Summary

    Cleo takes a deep breath, stepping forward and placing her hand on Pearl’s waist.

    When she meets her gaze, Cleo’s eyes are black.

    “Pearl,” Cleo says, and their voice comes from down a long tunnel. “Look at me.”

    All of the thoughts in Pearl’s mind, all the spinning, whirring, never ending fragments, they all stop. It’s a gentle thing, fading slowly into the background until all that is left is Cleo’s voice.

    Look at me.

    And oh, Pearl is looking. She’s never wanted to look at anything more in her life.

    ***

    Pearl lets Cleo drink her blood. It has some emotional side effects that neither of them was quite expecting.

    Summary

    Gem started pulling Pearl towards the centre of the ballroom. "Come dance with me?" she asked, but the words may as well have been a command for how Pearl followed her so readily without argument. The rest of Pearl's entourage silently dropped back as she followed Gem out to where other nobles were still swept up in dance and music.

    The song currently playing petered out, a new one starting up to swiftly take its place. Gem was a vibrant spot of colour in this already impossibly bright scene with her orange hair and pink dress. The air was filled with the sound of cheer and revelry, fractals of lights reflected off every smooth surface. And all of it didn't matter in the end, because today was the day that Pearl was going to kill Gem.

     

    ***
    Pearl, the princess of Gilded Helianthia, is sent to assassinate the crown princess of Dawn. She's spent ages preparing for this moment, so why has her conviction started to waver?
