Nobodies POV
Blossom steps from the shower, water dripping to the tile floor and her orange hair clinging to her skin.
She wipes the condensation from the mirror and looks at herself. She stares deep into her own eyes, as if trying to read the mind of someone else.
She focuses and the virus ripples across her facial features. Black tendrils surge from her back and flow along her body.
In an instant they fade away, and her skin is smooth again.
Alex had given her his powers so long ago, when she and her sisters were still in high-school...
They're in college now, almost graduating. Almost 4 years...
Grabbing a light pink towel and wrapping it around herself, blossom steps from the bathroom and walks to her room.
She slips on pink panties and a bra, and pulls a pair of skinny jeans on. Putting on a pink and black shirt, she heads from her room.
The clock on her dresser blinks 5:47, illuminating the dark room in an eerie green glow.
Blossom stops just as she reaches her bedroom door.
She turns, sensing something amiss in the shadows...
She lets her eyes wander over the shapes in the darkness.
Still something doesn't feel right... So again she looks over the room, to hesitant to turn on the lights...
She shivers, a sudden chill shooting up her spine...
She sees nothing, and leaves.
Walking down the steps she stops. A noise behind her. Someone else on the stairs.
She turns to look, expecting Bubbles or Buttercup.
The shadows are all that greet her eyes.
A single breath comes out in a breaking shudder.
She closes her eyes, attempting to regain herself.
What was wrong with her this morning?
Opening her eyes, it seems as though the shadows around her quickly snap back into their original positions.
It cant be... It must be a trick of the light...
Blossom exhales and finishes her walk down the stairs. As she enters the living room, she chuckles at the sight on the couch.
Buttercup lay sleeping, and smiling, in Mitch Mitchelson's arms.
A thin Afghan was draped over them, and Mitch's arm was wrapped around Buttercups waist.
Ever since Buttercup and Mitch had started dating, Mitch had practically LIVED at the girls house.
Buttercup and him slept on the couch when he was over, which was damn near every day, leaving more room in the bed from Blossom and Bubbles.
BUBBLES!
Blossom had totally forgotten to wake her up! And she was even in the bedroom for so long!
Blossom trumps back up the stairs, but slows down halfway up as another cold chill slices through her.
She glances from side to side at the seemingly darkening shadows.
Quickening her pace she speed walks to the bedroom door.
It creeks open, and Blossom steps in.
Bubble's sleeping form, sprawled out over the entire bed, is outlined by the green of the alarm clock.
Blossom smiles at how cute her sister is, but it quickly fades and her eyes go wide as she realizes...
Something stands next to the bed, looking down on Bubbles.
He... She... IT, is silhouetted, and its features are unseen.
Suddenly the figure snaps its head up and stares directly at Blossom.
She gasps and shivers, primal fear coursing through her veins.
The being opens its mouth, a glowing purple hole, and a low droning noise fills her mind.
The drone becomes louder and soon it is an ear splitting, inhuman shriek echoing through her mind.
The very air around the screaming creature seems to ripple with static, as it mouth opens wider and wider.
Blossom squeezes her eyes shut, clenches her teeth, and slaps her palms over her ears in an attempt to make the scream stop.
Abruptly, and without warning, the shriek drops off.
Slowly, Blossom open her eyes.
Standing in front of her is a girl with long black hair hanging down in front of her eyes.
The girl looks up and her purple eyes Peirce through Blossoms soul for only a split second before she vanishes in a flash of brilliant purple.
Blossom stands there, stunned. She shakes her head trying to comprehend what had just happened.
Was...
Was she going crazy?
Things like this had been happening more and more...
Blossom dismisses it for the time being, and walks over to wake Bubbles.
"Bubbles? Hey... Bubbles, it's time to wake up! We have school today!" She says softly, shaking Bubbles shoulder.
Bubbles groans in objection and rolls over.
Blossom chuckles and crawls under the covers with Bubbles.
Only to find the blue sister to be naked.
Blossom rolls her eyes and slides her hand up Bubbles thigh, breathing up her neck as she moves her lips to Bubbles ear.
"Wake up Bubbles... It's time for school..." She whispers seductively, making circles on Bubbles upper thigh.
Bubbles giggles and moans slightly, and rolls over, snuggling her forehead against Blossoms.
"Blossom... I don't wanna..." She moans.
"But you have to Bubbles." Blossom whispers back.
Bubbles groans under her breath, thinking.
"Only if you give me a kiss." She says finally.
"And not a short one. A big, wet one sister dear."
Blossom sighs.
"Bubbles, you know I'm not bi-sexual." She states.
"Just one kiss Blossom? Otherwise I'll stay in bed all day." Bubbles threatens playfully.
Blossom mulls it over for a second, and sighs finally.
"Alright, fine."
Bubbles grins triumphantly, and rolls on top of Blossom.
"Yay! But we'll kiss on MY terms." She whispers.
Blossom rolls her eyes, just as Bubbles leans in and connects their lips.
Blossom kisses back, obeying her sisters commands, and is caught off guard when Bubbles pushes her tongue inside of Blossoms mouth.
They kiss for what seems like ages, when finally Bubbles pulls away.
She giggles. "How was that?"
Blossom rolls her eyes yet again. "Get off of me Bubbles." She says.
Bubbles giggles playfully and rolls off of Blossom.
Blossom stands, dusts herself off, and glares at Bubbles.
"Hurry up. We're gonna be late for school."
Blossom walks back down the stairs a few minutes later, with Bubbles close behind.
The smell of bacon and eggs meets there noses.
In the kitchen Mitch sits with a mug of coffee, and Buttercup hums over the stove.
"Morning girls." Mitch greets.
"G'morning Mitch!" Bubbles greets happily.
"You two sounded like you had fun last night." Blossom states, looking back and forth between her green sister and her sisters boyfriend.
Mitch's face heats into a blush and he stumbles over the words he tries to speak.
"Oh, shut up Blossom! Or no bacon for you!" Buttercup exclaims teasingly.
The four laugh, and a few minutes later they are eating their breakfast in the living room.
The news plays on the TV.
"The bodies of 5 teenagers were discovered this morning, deep inside HollowGrass cemetery. The teenagers had apparently been murdered sometime last night, and-"
In Blossoms sight, the screen flickers with static for an instant. But in that instant the girl with the purple eyes stood in front of the TV, and that ungodly wail echoed through Blossoms mind.
"-no one seems to know who the culprit is. No witnesses were on scene, and the bodies where discovered by the graveyards keeper. More information is coming to you, as we receive it. Now to sports, with-"
Blossom flicks off the TV, and looks to the others.
"I was in HollowGrass last night, visiting Alex's grave. How did I miss that..." She trails off, thinking and mentally scolding herself.
"It's a big cemetery, Blossom. I doubt even the three of us together would have realized it." Bubbles says comfortingly.
"Yeah, but still I-"
The girl with the purple eyes flashes in front of Blossoms face, a thoughtful, careless, sly grin perched on her lips.
Blossom put a hand to her head, and shakes it.
"You okay Bloss?" Buttercup asks.
"Yeah... fine." Blossom replies.
But truthfully Blossom wasn't fine. With all these visions of this purple eyed girl, Blossom had the sneaking suspition she was going insane...
"We should get to school."
