She laid there feeling sick, her stomach was almost bursting out to her mouth, it was dark, but she didn't know if it was night. She knew she could escape from there in lots of ways, crashing through the sealing, zapping a hole with laser beams, screaming sound waves, a whole bunch of ways. But she couldn't.
The bed where she was laying was red, of course, but a plain red that almost looked like a blood mixture with water. The room didn't have a color; it looked like she was in a basement, with a lone light bulb swinging in the center of the ceiling. Not even a chair or a table, just a plain old bed, a light bulb and a door that leaded wherever.
See, she just had woken up, but she knew even before she had woken up that she'd been captured, captured because she lost, she lost the battle that would save the professor and maybe the rest of her family. That battle was between her and Brick, the red leader of the rowdyruff boys, and he said that if she won the battle he would leave the town with his brothers and end with the X war, but if she lost, he would get the professor, and torture him to death. She knew he was okay, because Brick was meant to kill her, she wasn't dead that meant he had a heart, or he didn't finish her yet, that may save the professor. Also Professor said he had a plan, he said he would get everyone out of it. Blossom told him the night before the duel: "Professor you know the drug, take it and you won't hurt anymore, I don't want you to suffer if it's all over, Brick is stronger, I don't know why, but he is, please, I won't win, take the drugs right after I lose okay?" The only problem was that Professor Utonium didn't like to cheat; he just nodded his head and hugged Blossom until she fell asleep. Blossom knew he wouldn't do it anyways, he was too smart to actually kill himself so he could run away from the suffer.
There was a possibility he was okay, she thought, maybe he forgot to be good and to follow the rules, maybe he just took the drug and died before he was tortured. But probably not, he wouldn't let his daughters down; he would go till the end.
Blossom really wanted to take off, crash through anything in her way and look for at least Professors body… But if he was still alive, and they realized her escpae, they would certainly torture him till his hair fall out. She didn't want to risk her chances. She just laid there faking her sleep. Wanting to capture any sign of sound or movement, she closed her eyes again. The sickness was going away.
"Hey, you, girly girl" Blossom stayed put. "Heey, I ain't got all day" She heard him taking some steps and muttering swear words.
"Duuude, you're so stupid," said another guy. "Your nerdy dad is alive and Master wants to make a new deal with you" Blossom shot her eyes open and calmly stood up.
"Yeah…" He seemed a bit surprised. "Miiiike" He called "The slut wasn't even sleeping" said the raven haired middle aged guy.
"Oh yeah?" Mike showed up at the door "She was laying there pretending to be asleep was she?" He chewed on something than spit it out "Well, let's just see if the next time you will wake up hu? If red wants to, he kills you in a snap of fingers." He snapped his own fingers. "Just like that" I glared at him then he started to laugh and went away.
"He he he" His partner giggled. "So, you got to come with me so you can make the deal" Blossom nodded and followed the guy without saying a word, she didn't see Mike after this.
She climbed some staircases which went to a gigantic hallway that had other paths too, but they continued going ahead until they reached a wooden ladder and as soon as they got through, she saw a little room with a big fancy balcony made of marble that looked old and mistreated. That balcony lead to a bridge that matched with the fancy balcony, it was a closed sealing one, and it had some windows too. That was the only way to notice it was a bridge because it was all too closed and passing through one of them she saw the moon rising from the sky, she knew it was almost midnight because the night of the fight the moon rose at 11pm. Though she knew that couldn't be exactly right, she didn't know how many days she was out.
She looked out another window and saw she was many floors from the ground, almost 5 and she thought it was strange, because as more she walked in the big fancy bridge, more she realized she was going slightly up, and by the way it seemed she was heading for a big structure, like a big house of some sort, maybe a mansion or even a castle. Was she even in Townsville anymore? She guessed she wasn't.
When she reached the other side of the bridge, big white wooden doors were open for her and the marble on the walls were more clean and shiny.
The guy who escorted her there grabbed her neck and pushed her to the door.
"Go inside, there is a girl and you should say your name. She will do the rest." Without any warning he turned his heels and walked away back to the strange place where they came from.
Blossom P.O.V.
I took some steps inside and wished I could float, but I better not get attention, it could make me get much more in trouble.
"Hello" a lady in black and red maid vests showed by the door. I wouldn't say a thing till I got to Brick. "You must be Blossom right?" I stared right through her.
"Follow me please" She kept smiling.
The room here was much, much bigger than the last ones. The hallways had pretty paintings and vases. Everything was so… White.
Then we got to a red carpet and smell of burned autmn leaves came to me.
As the maid knocked and opened the big wooden brown door, I saw that the inside of the gigantic castle room was ALL-IN-RED. Everything!
Floor, chairs, carpets, even the wood had a red pigment on them. It looked like hell, but it didn't make you feel nauseated because it wasn't the same tone color, it had light reds, dark reds, all kind of reds. Fire, it had many goblets with fire, torches, beautiful ones with fire dancing on top of them. It was a pretty room, full of castle things, like paintings and staircases; two, one to the right of the throne, and another to the left of it.
There was the main carpet which was in red and gold leading to the end, where was Brick, sitting in his throne on a platform, mighty and powerful. His red eyes staring right at me flaming with the fire beside him.
If I were a normal girl I couldn't see his eyes well because of the distance, but I had very good senses and I knew that if I kept looking in those red eyes I could make my way there without destroying the lady by my side.
"Brick, where is my father?" In a pink flash involuntarily I was right in front of his throne.
"Chick, your father is okay, as I promised, if I beat you, your dad would be tortured to death. I did knock you out, but you didn't die. So I thought for three days," So I slept for three days… "Maybe I could have a trade, but only if you behave of course"
"What is it that you want?"
"You, of course. I mean, you can choose. But I bet you won't turn down my offer." He smirked and stood up
"Keep going" I said while he played with my hair. I kept in control.
"You can live with me, forever and ever, do what I say, anything… And I will let your Professor free, but I won't be babysitting him to see if he's okay. So, waddyah say?" He stared down at me and before I could think my lips said yes.
"Perfect. Dudes, the prisoner." Brick said. And as he spoke some guards brought my dad and I didn't think twice I was standing in front of him.
"Professor, professor" I shouted. "Dad!"
"Blossom, don't worry about me, I'll take care" He was so weak.
"I'll miss you" I held his face; He was kneeling, he could barely stand.
"Hey, who said you could talk to him?" Brick held me back, but I didn't let him.
"I love you dad, I'll make you proud" I said kissing him on the cheek.
"You already have angel" With that the guards took him away and a tear crossed my cheek.
"What da hell were you thinking? I said you couldn't talk to him" Brick held my wrist. I couldn't control myself. I punched him in his jaw. Then he went quiet. He really looked scary.
"Cuffs" He said. And the trembling maid went to Bricks side and gave him some red colored cuffs. "Darling" he held her chin "No need to be afraid of me, I like girls okay?" He looked at me "Not this one" and smiled.
Disgusting.
"It's late ain't it?" he hand-cuffed me.
As if.
"Might as well have some sleep" He looked at me. I glared at him trying not to shoot a laser beam through his head.
We exited the gigantic room to the hallways through one of the staircases and walked until we got to a pair of wooden doors.
As I walked in the room, i noted that it was red as well, but less than the big room. This room was the size of a living room. It had a big TV, fridge, a door that must lead to a toilet, a big king sized red bed; really fancy one and a big, big closet. I didn't see anything like a video game or a computer. Strange.
The maid had followed us, so Brick said she could go, but before whispered some things in her ear. Then he un-cuffed me. Well that was stupid.
When the maid was getting to the door, I was following her of course, but Brick said:
"Where the hell you think your goin?" I turned around and tried to keep calm. "You're supposed to stay here, remember our deal?" I stood there while the maid went away and closed the doors.
That was when I froze. I mean what the hell? Is he gonna rape me or something? I mean he is some months younger than me, we are 16. But what the fuck does he want me in his room for?
He started to take off his shirt and I was starting to freak out there. Oh my God, what the hell. If he tries something I'm going to KILL him.
"What? Take a photo, it lasts longer." He laughed. I scowled and turned away. "Throw this in that metal bin right there" A red T-shirt hit me, and I looked where he pointed at, flew there, opened the bin and placed the dirty cloth there.
"Hey, hey, hey. No powers got it?" I glared at him. How could he expect me to not use my powers? "What? Not goin to speak?" I stood there looking at him arms crossed. He wasn't serious was he?
"Fuck you! I'm going to take a shower"
Hope you die there.
He went through the door and closed it with a bang.
Uuuuurrrgghhh that idiooott! When I get out of this crap he will suffer so much he will wish he's dead.
I was almost pulling my hair off when someone knocked at the door. I didn't say a thing. More knocks. Silence.
"I'm coming in… Excuse me" The sweet voice from the maid shouted as she opened the door." Oh hello, these are meant for you" she handed me a paper bag and went out the door.
What's this? I thought as I opened it. My heart raced; maybe it was a message from the girls or the professor. But when I opened it was a plain pink nightdress.
Wow, how kind of Brick. I thought ironically. I actually took a look at myself for the first time after I fainted.
I was horrible, I couldn't see my face of course, but my clothes were hideous, all ripped out, burned and blood-stained. It wasn't hard to guess that my face was as worse as my clothes.
I waited ten minutes because I wanted to take a shower too. I hope could have the right to have one.
"Hey, you better shower. I ain't going to bed with you stinking by my side"
That was the outburst.
"The heck?" I shouted flying towards him. "You really think I'm going to sleep with you in the same bed? Are you out of your freaking mind?" I stayed two feet of the floor so I could be face-to-face with him, and I was so close I could feel his breath on me.
"Dude, you agreed to do whatever I said, so if I say you're going to sleep with me, you are going to sleep with me" He grinned "Now go take a shower and put your nightdress on cause you look sad right now, just damn right sad. And I'm not talking about the feeling of sadness."
I puffed and flew down to my feet, ignoring him telling me no powers. I went to the bathroom; that was the only peace I could have right now.
