And back to our story :)


Chapter 7: The Investigation

Juniper Meadows, 52nd Street

Blossom's POV

I exited the alley and saw my sisters waiting for me. As soon as they saw me, they gave me the biggest hug known to mankind. Even Buttercup.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Bubbles said, getting teary-eyed. "I thought for sure I would never see you again!"

"Don't say things like that," Buttercup said. "Blossom can make it through, she's Blossom!"

It seemed they didn't know who Jackson Marks really was. So of course, I had to tell them. I couldn't keep another secret from them. Not after what Bubbles said that time...

"Blossom... you're so sweet, but don't be afraid to tell us your concerns. Your concerns are much more important than our feelings. Don't let them get in your way."

"Hey, girls..."

"Yeah, Blossom?"

"Do... Do you know who Jackson Marks is?"

"Of course, he's the one who killed Lily! And probably the Rowdyruff Boys too."

"I meant his real identity."

"He has a real identity? I thought he was just Jackson Marks, a random guy."

"No... he's..."

Come on, Blossom, just say it!

"H-He's... the Rowdyruff Boys' father."

They froze in place, just like I did when I was told the same astonishing fact.

"Y-You're kidding, right?" Buttercup seemed to have a hard time believing what I just said.

"But then... did he kill his own sons?" Bubbles asked.

"He didn't kill Lily or the Rowdyruff Boys. He just killed two adults and that's it."

Wait... he only killed two adults. He didn't kill Lily... or the Rowdyruff Boys...

"...Blossom? Something bothering you again?" Buttercup asked.

"...If he didn't kill Lily or the Rowdyruff Boys... Someone else did. And that person is still out there."

1 hour later

I told the girls to go on home, which took a while, but I somehow managed to get them to leave. I needed some time to myself.

Now I'm back at square one. Now I don't even have any leads.

As I was thinking about what to do next, I realized that I didn't have much information on Lily's death. I read a lot of articles online, but none of them really discussed it in detail.

I decided to head to Lily's house to get more information.


(A.N) That was a short chapter, and not really special. But I promise you, next chapter will be pretty important. I won't take too long writing the next chapter, so hang in there!

You have read. Now, review! :)
