Sorry I took so long to update but I have been really busy. First exams then my computer decides to die on me so it took a while to fix.
Aerrow quickly came back to his senses from being shocked that Piper was injured. He carefully picked her up bridal style making sure he didn't hurt her shoulder even more. He gently put on the floor her back up against the smooth cave wall. Piper all this time couldn't help but blush at Aerrow's actions. Aerrow quickly ran to his scooter to get his bag.
"Aerrow what are you doing?" Piper asked him curiously to know what he was up to as she clutched her now aching shoulder
"Don't worry you will soon find out" he replied winking as he pulled out a dark purple crystal
Piper laughed at seeing the crystal " normally your not this prepared, i have to beg you and Finn to follow through plans and here you are even carrying a healing crystal"
" I know that me and Finn need to follow through plans more but when it comes to you and your safety ofcourse I am going to come prepared after all you mean alot to me Piper" he said this very fast as he tried to hide his face
Piper stared at him shocked but smiled a little when she saw a tint of pink in his cheeks. Aerrow put the crystal up against her shoulder and as he did this a bright purple glow started to surrounded the cut on her shoulder. Piper was shocked at this.
"How are you able to use that crystal only people with training can use this crystal?" Piper asked confused as she stared wide eyed at him
Aerrow laughed "Piper aren't you forgeting something we did achieve perfect attunement so ofcourse I am going to be able to do this" he smiled at her lovingly
"Ofcourse I forgot all about that silly me" Piper giggled but stopped seeing Aerrow's serious expression
"Piper how did you get this wound" he asked looking up at Piper from her shoulder
Piper sighed at him. I guess I better tell him otherwise he won't leave it Piper thought as she stared into his eyes
"I got this wound on the Storm Hawks ship, when you were all fighting the cyclonians outside Dark Ace came after me. I went to grab my staff to fight him off but he cut me with one of his blades before I could reach it" Piper looked at Aerrow to see his reaction.
Aerrow's face went from shock to anger in a matter of seconds
"Dark Ace hurt you I should have beaten him to a pulp. No on seconds thoughts I should of killed him" as Aerrow spoke his free hand balled up into a fist and he closed his eyes tight.
Piper watched him knowing that he would blame himself for her getting hurt. That was so much like Aerrow.
"I should have protected you more Piper I should have realised that during that battle it was weird for Dark Ace's men to be there and not him, I should of-"
Aerrow was going to carry on however Piper silenced him by bringing him into a kiss. Lucky enough Piper's shoulder was healed as in the process of Piper kissing him he dropped the crystal.
"You Idiot Aerrow" Piper laughed as she wrapped her arms around Aerrow's neck as she looked into his eyes lovingly. Her shoulder healed and the pain long gone.
Aerrow just looked at her shocked.
"It wasn't your fault, ofcourse you weren't going to know that Dark Ace was after me and that he was going to kidnap me. Aerrow do you realise that you always protect me. I mean earlier today you saved me from the light falling on top off me and got injured in the process and as soon as you found out that I was missing you came after me to save me. It also wasn't your fault that I got wounded it was mine for not protecting myself quick enough" Piper smiled at Aerrow as she said this while he had a shocked expression on his face the whole time.
"I know that Piper but I can't help but be mad at myself for letting you get hurt afterall you are the woman I love. I want to make sure you are protected at all times" He replied kissing her ligthly. This time it was Piper's turn to be shocked
"I love you too Aerrow" and with that quickly went in and gave a passionate kiss to Aerrow who fell backwards holding her as they both laughed in between the kiss.
Soon the inside of the cave started to get dark. Aerrow went in is bag and got a red crystal that was in a shape of a flame and threw it at Piper smiling. Piper knew immediatley what to do with it. Piper put it on top of the wood and closed her eyes concentrating and as she did this fire started to grasp around the wood, making the cave light up more. Aerrow went and sat next to Piper handing her a blanket.
"thanks" she smiled lightly at him and then turned to stare at the fire in front of her
"whats wrong Piper?" Aerrow asked slightly worried at her expression, she looked troubled
"Aerrow what do you think Cyclonis wants from me?" Piper asked as she turned her head to look at Aerrow
"I think she wants you to join her afterall you have become more powerful" he replied
"but she knows that I would never join her so why go through all that, why does she bother to waste her time on trying to convince me to join her when I will never" Piper asked getting more confused as she crossed her arms worried to what Cyclonis wants her for.
Aerrow wraps is arms around Piper tightly with blanket around them.
"Piper I will never let Cyclonis have you I will protect you I swear" He promised her as he looked into her eyes
"You always do idiot" she kissed him "Aerrow thankyou" she smiled
"it's okay" he stated rubbing the back of his head in embaressment "you should have seen Finn he was pratically in tears when I said Dark Ace had taken you" Aerrow laughed
"really he was that worried that I was gone" Piper asked shocked while she had a big smile on her face
"Yh ofcourse everyone was so worried about you, when I was searching for you they kept on contacting me every 5 minutes asking if I had found you yet" Aerrow admitted
"I can't beleive it those guys" Piper giggled
"Everyone loves you Piper all of the guys I had to pratically push radar off my leg to stop him from coming with me to look for you, so don't worry Piper you have everyone to protect you from Cyclonic and Dark Ace" Aerrow stated kissing her forehead
"thankyou Aerrow" Piper told him hugging him tightly as small tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Come lets get some rest the guys will be here early in the morning" Aerrow said as he lay down and patted the space next to him so that Piper would sleep next to him.
As she lay down next to him he brought her to his chest and held her lightly to him putting the blanket over them. Piper smiled at this as she felt the warmth and at how kindly Aerrown treated her.
"Goodnight my love" Aerrow whispered
"Goodnight Aerrow, love you" Piper said as she couched into Aerrow closer and soon enough the both of them were deep in their dreams holding each other tightly.
Aerrow was right as soon as some light started brighten the sky up, the rest of the Storm Hawks arrived.
"Piper I am so glad you are safe" Junko exclaimed as he ran up and brought Piper into a massive hug that pratically took her breath away.
"Than-ks Jun-ko" Piper manged to say
Radar ran up to Piper giving her a small hug smiling his silly grins before going onto Aerrow's shoulder. Even Stork came out from the ship.
"Wow Stork you must have missed me alot for you to leave the ship" Piper giggled shocked
"Ofcourse I had too Piper I had to make sure you weren't under mind control from mind worms or worst!" he shouted his eyebrow twitching "oh and I missed you too" he stated and then we all started laughing
Piper looked over to Finn who seemed to be rubbing his eyes.
"aww Finn are you crying did you miss me that much" Piper joked
"no way!" he shouted turning a little red "I only wanted you to come back qucikly becuase that idiot over there ate all the sandcakes" he stated pointing at Radar and then winking at Piper
Everyone immediately started laughing.
"Don't worry Piper us lot will always be there for you and we will make sure that Dark Ace will never come near you again" Junko said punching his fist through the air
"Yh Piper we will always protect you afterall you are the only girl in our team and we need your sandcakes" Finn laughed
"No mind worms will get you when i'm around Piper" Stork exclaimed his voice getting higher although he was smiling at the same time
Radar agreed by jumping up and down nodding his head
"Totally Piper I won't let anything come near you" Aerrow said as he walked up to her wrapping his arm around her kissing her on the cheek
Piper started crying and everyone went silent and stared at her with shocked faces well that was until they saw her smiling.
"Thanks you guys, I love so much" Piper giggled while rubbing he eyes
"Thats what friends are for" Everyone shouted except Aerrow
"thats what boyfriends are for" Aerrow stated quickly kissing Piper on the lips.
"So you finally admitted your feelings for one another then" Finn said making kissing faces and noises
"I'm so happy for you both" Junko said really excited as he again brought Piper and Aerrow in a bone crushing hug
"It's about time" Stork winked
"thanks" Aerrow quickly mouthed while he was rubbing the back of his head a small tint of pink on his cheeks while Piper just giggled at him
It was now a couple of hours later and Piper was sitting on her bed meditating with her crystals. All of a sudden she brought out of a peacful place to somewhere dark and barren.
"Well hello Piper" a dark and cold voice came from behind her as it giggled
"Cyclonis!" Piper shouted as she qucikly turned around "what do you want" Piper demanded to know
"Well isn't it obvious Piper I want you to join me ofcourse" she gave a evil smirk
"I will never join you Cyclonis when are you going to get that into your head" Piper screamed throwing he arms into the air
"Oh but you will Piper, you will betray all of your friends and even Aerrow to be by my side" Cyclonis stated walking towards her
"I would never betray my firends I care for them and I love Aerrow and you are evil and cruel" Piper spat through her teeth
"Don't worry Piper you will join me soon enough as the more you use your power the more you will grow to become evil and become just like me" Cyclonis laughed
With a sudden jolt Piper woke breathing heavily. she turned her head slightly and her eyes widened in shock. There in the mirror she looked at herself. However this was not Piper it was the complete opposite of her. The wore the similar black clothes to Cyclonis and she smirked evily as Piper was frozen with fear as she stared at what was to come
