When The Blossom Snaps

Chapter 4: The Cross Necklace

The red head sighed as she arrived at her house. She looked around, and noticed the house was oddly quite. She went upstairs, and into her room. She dropped her backpack on the ground, and fell onto her bed.

Blossom felt more tired than usual. Her eyes felt heavy, and she would yawn every few minutes. She started feeling more sleepy by each passing minute.

"I guess just closing my eyes for a minute won't hurt….." she whispered before she fell asleep. The deeper her slumber became, the more she felt her body become light.

"Blossom! Wake up!" She heard someone call. She opened her eyes only to find a young girl with sky blue eyes and two short, blond pigtails. She looked around, and realized she was laying on some green, lively fresh grass.

Another girl appeared, except she had very short ebony hair, and green eyes. "You fell asleep, again."

Blossom didn't know what was going on, but it felt right.

"Come on!" The blue-eyed girl called.

Blossom stood up and realized she was wearing a white dress. Her soft hair came down to her waist. The blond was wearing a light blue dress that had a rose on the upper left side. The other girl had a mint-like colored dress with three flowers on the top.

"W-where are we going?" she timidly asked, her voice a bit weary.

"To the green plain, of coarse!" The green-eyed girl yelled as she began running.

"But Buttercup, we're not allowed there." Blossom didn't know how she knew the girl's name, but she just did.

"Yeah, but we are, anyways! Come on, Bubbles!" The blond girl ran right behind her. Blossom kept on walking, examining her surroundings. She stopped when she saw the other two girls. "What are you doing?"

"We're trying to see something," Bubbles said as she waved to the her reflection in the water. "But it doesn't work…"

"I don't see what's the point.." She commented.

"Come on, Blossom! Out of all the people in this universe, you should know!" Buttercup exclaimed, surprised of the girl's thought.

"They say you see something weird if you look here….But only people who are special could." Bubbles still kept on looking down, her face becoming devastated from the failure. "We should still keep on going." Bubbles and Buttercup stood from the ground, and started running once again to the green field ahead.

"Special?" Blossom whispered to herself. Before she left, she looked down into the water, her reflection showing an innocent face of a child with rare, but beautiful soft pink eyes, and her hair glossing from the sunshine hitting her. "Nothing special about me, that's for sure…." And she followed behind the other two girls.

Just as she arrived at the plain, she saw the two girls sitting on the grass. Buttercup was fully laid down, her arms behind her head, as if she was ready to fall asleep. Bubbles was sitting with her legs stretched in front of her, her arms behind her, holding her in her position. Blossom sat down next to the blond child, her eyes showing innocence and curiosity.

"Blossom?….." Bubbles whispered.

"Hm?"

Bubbles looked a bit nervous for a second, but soon disappeared. "Can I ask you a question?…"

"Sure."

"Why do you only wear white? I mean, you have so many pretty, handmade pink dresses, but you never wear them. Do you not like the color pink?" Her blue eyes looked curious.

"I….I don't know. I just do…I think it's because the color pink signifies love, passion, feelings, happiness, and that is all. While the color white can signify the innocence of something, pureness, cleanliness, and neutrality. Blue shows that you are trustworthy, dependable, and committed. Green shows the balance between cool and warm, and a bit of self-control."

"That still doesn't explain it…." The blond girl said.

Blossom just giggled, her eyes looked softer than before. "I'm not committed to romance or passion, but committed to staying purified."

"Oh." Blossom turned to face the plain ahead of them.

"Hey Blossom, I almost forgot to give you this." Bubbled took out something from a small pocket on her dress, and revealed a cross necklace, and in the center of the cross was a red jewel. "It's a gift…..from me and Buttercup." She handed it to the red head, her eyes amazed at it's beauty. "I want you to close your eyes, and imma count backwards from three, and when I say one, you open your eyes: And no matter what, put the necklace on. Ready?"

Blossom nodded her head, and closed her eyes.

"3."

She closed her eyes even more, a slight gust of wind passed by her.

"2."

And something happened, everything went black. And she heard a slight echo in the pitch black whisper,

"1."

Blossom awoke with a sudden jump, and she felt a sense of weariness telling her the dream wasn't a dream at all. She tried to make her hands into fists, only to realize something was on her right hand. When she looked to see what it was, she was shocked: On her hand was the same cross necklace she had seen in her dream.

"This can't be happening," she whispered. She stood up from her bed, and tried to make sense of all of it. She walked in circles in her room, and couldn't think of an explanation. A person couldn't come in her house without a key. Her window was securely locked, so no one could sneak in. Who could've given this to her? And was it a coincidence she had a dream with the same necklace?

She looked out her window, noticing it was dark, she looked at her clock.

9:01

"How much did I sleep!" She tiptoed downstairs, and it was still silent. She stepped into the kitchen, and on the refrigerator was a note saying that her adoptive parents, and the two children had taken an emergency trip to their aunt's house on the other side of the country, and it was probably going to take up to two weeks at most until they came back.

"Wow, what a coincidence they left me alone." Blossom grabbed a bowl, and a small pack of popcorn, cooked it inside the microwave, then poured into the bowl.

"What should I do?…." While Blossom was thinking, she felt a slight nudge inside of her. Something wasn't right.

She went upstairs, and when she went inside her room, she saw the necklace laying on her bed.

Put it on…She heard someone say inside of her. No matter what, put on the necklace on. Ready? She heard it echo through her mind.

"Ready." She grabbed the cross necklace, and headed for her bathroom. Inside, she put on the necklace. "Hey, it doesn't look that bad…..It's actually very beautiful." She yawned, and guessed it was time for her to start getting ready to rest.

She changed into a white tank top, and some red pants. She tied her hair into a ponytail, and went and laid down her bed. She had forgotten to take off her necklace before she went to sleep, but it felt as if there was nothing on.

"Goodnight, Blossom…." She whispered to herself before falling into a deep slumber

Beep! Beep! Beep!

"One minute, mom…" Blossom mumbled to herself. Her eyes then shot open. "I forgot, mom's not here."

She stood up from her bed, and headed for the bathroom. She got her toothbrush, brushed her teeth, then started getting ready to change into her uniform.

After she got changed, Blossom started doing her hair. She grabbed a red string, and tied her hair into a high ponytail. She got her backpack, went downstairs, and ate some cereal.

"This house is so boring….." she mumbled as she finished swallowing the last of her cereal. She checked the time on the clock of the kitchen: 7:32

"Time to go to school…" She grabbed her backpack, where she slung over her shoulder, and exited her house, making sure it was locked before she began walking to her school. After a good ten minutes, she met up with Hailey as they crossed the main road. Blossom noticed Bunny waiting for them at the gates.

"Good morning, Bunny," Blossom nicely said.

"It is, Blossom."

"Anyways, Hailey? Did you do Mr. Christy's homework?" asked Blossom as they walked across the pavement to their first class.

"Yeah, why? You didn't?" exclaimed Hailey as they climbed the stairs.

"Yes, I did. I was just wondering If I wasn't the only that actually did it…." Blossom turned and noticed Bunny wasn't overhearing their conversation, but instead she seemed distracted. "Bunny, are you okay? You seem distracted, up in the clouds."

She looked up, her violet eyes making contact with her light pink ones. "Huh? Yeah, I guess I am.." Her voice sounding embarrassed as she rubbed the back of her neck. Her eyes suddenly became wide. "Blossom, where did you get that necklace from?"

Blossom's hand gripped on the cross, becoming a bit nervous. "Huh? This? Oh, my mother gave it to me, as a 'beginning of school year' gift."

"Oh," Bunny studied the necklace, her eyes mostly rested on the red jewel in the middle. "Well it's very beautiful."

"Oh my gosh, Blossom! It is! Where did she get it at?" Hailey was enchanted by the cross necklace's marvelous beauty. "You're so lucky…."Her blue eyes softening as she said those words.

"Thanks….." Blossom silently whispered, a slight blush appearing on her cheeks.

RRIINNNGGG!

The ball rang loudly, and all three girls walked to their first period.

Upon arrival, they took their seats, waiting for their teacher to appear. After a few minutes of waiting, Mr. Johns appeared with his coffee mug on one hand and the daily newspaper on the other.

"Good morning, class!" He said with his voice full of joy. "I have a special announcement today." Everyone sat in their seats in boredom. "I would like to welcome our three new students!" And with that, three new girls appeared. "Girls? Would you like to introduce yourselves?"

Blossom eyes widened: two of the girls looked exactly like the ones in her dream, but in an older version.

"Sure," said one of the girls. She had messy raven hair that reached her shoulders, green eyes, and some of her hair were held by a lime green clip on the side. "Sup? The name's Buttercup Dennis."

"Hello, my name is Bubbles Dennis, and yes, we are sisters," she said with a slight giggle at the end. She had sky blue eyes, and two blond pigtails that reached just below her shoulder. Her bangs were perfectly made, not one strand sticking out.

"Hey, my name's Yuki. Just moved in here," the third girl's voice sounded bored. Her black hair went to her back, and some of her bangs covered partial parts of her face.

"Thank you for those introductions. You may now take a seat."

Yuki took a seat right next to Peter, a British exchange student that had shaggy blond hair, and blue eyes. Bubbles and Buttercup, on the other hand, were walking when they seemed to have notice Blossom's necklace.

They soon passed and sat right behind Blossom, Hailey, and Bunny.

"Now class…."

And the boringness begins…

Blossom made her way to P.E. Hailey and Bunny had gone ahead of her, so she was on her own. As she walked, she noticed the two new girls following behind her.

She turned around, and greeted them. "Hi, you're the new kids, aren't you?"

"Yes, and you are Blossom? Right?" Bubbles' slightly smiled.

"Well, what is your next class?" she asked, feeling less nervous than before.

"Um….P.E. Mrs. Smith?" Buttercup replied, her eyebrow raising a bit at her new teacher.

"Oh, then you have the same class as Hailey, Bunny, and me." Blossom told the two girls the direction to the lockers, and saying she had to go somewhere else.

The real reason Blossom hadn't gone with them was because of her arm: Throughout first period and break, her arm felt hotter than usual. It almost burned, as if her arm was on fire.

She headed for the bathrooms in the back of the school. She knew no one went there, which was better for her.

"Her arm started even burning more, and uneasiness filling her body. "Damn….What's wrong with my arm today?…"

"Hey Brick," Berserk's voice sounded flirtatious, sweet, and mischievous. She greeted her boyfriend with a kiss on the cheek, and sat right next to him, playing with a strand of his hair. Berserk begin to worry a bit, seeing how her boyfriend didn't even steal a glance at her. "Is something wrong, babe?" her voice sounding a bit irritated.

"Yeah, yeah there is something wrong." Berserk rose an eyebrow at him, seeing how his voice sounded pissed.

"Well, what's wrong?"

"You." Berserk looked at him surprised.

"Excuse me?" She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she didn't like it. "Don't hide it. I know you've been seeing Rodriguez behind my back," Berserk tried to pat his shoulder, but Brick angrily stood up from his seat, his red eyes showing frustration.

"B-but…..Look, Brick, I'm-"

"Brick cut her off, Berserk looking at him with a an apologetic face. "I've had it with this. This is the third time, Berserk. And I'm sick of it…..Find yourself another man.."

"W-what? You're breaking up with me?" He didn't respond, but only stared at the redhead. "F-fine! But where ya gonna find another girl for you?" Her eyes focusing to see if he would react.

"Oh, trust me, I already had my eyes on her for a while…." He began to walk away, leaving Berserk by herself.

"You son of a bitch…You're not gonna get away with this," she whispered to herself. She started to make her way to the bathrooms in the back of the school as her eyes begin to tear up.

Blossom looked around, making sure she was all alone. After spotting no one, she removed her blazer, and lifted her collar shirt's sleeves up, revealing nothing on her arm. She chuckled, seeing how she must have overreacted. "I must be going insane…"

She walked her way to the mirror, but something didn't feel right…..Almost as if disaster was near.

She sighed at the sight of her reflection.

"First the dream, then the necklace, later the new girls, and now my arm burning like as if it was on fire…." She closed her eyes, her uneasiness hadn't disappeared yet. Her hand reached for the necklace, and she grasped it around her hand.

"YOU!" Blossom heard a voice say her name in such a monstrous way, almost as if the name burned their mouth.

Blossom spun around. Her eyes widened as she realized who it was.

"Berserk….."
