Chapter 9: "Out of Time"
The ship landed rather quickly, Stella and Sky were the first to run out of the ship, "Hurry guys, Bloom needs us", Stella said. Once they got to the entrance of the cave, they heard loud noises, like a door being slammed shut. "Okay, so this is where Baltor must have Bloom, Ms.Faragonda said that there were prison-type cells down here so I guess we'll have to…" Timmy said but was interrupted by Stella.
"Are you saying that we're going to have to search cell by cell"? I can't imagine what this will do to my heels! She thought. They walked carefully but quickly through the caves as they spilt up to search.
Baltor continued to pull Bloom out of the caves. All of a sudden they heard something coming from the other end of the caves. "What was that"? Baltor asked with a mad tone of voice, "I don't know", Bloom, said, although she very well knew what it was, her friends had finally arrived. But Baltor did the unexpected and put a knife to her throat. "What are you doing? I tho…I thought you needed my powers? You can't hurt me"! Why am I so scared? I'm strong and I have the dragon fire like he does, only that I can't use them…and he can. "Not to worry Bloom, this is only so they don't come near us, its okay, don't be scared, I wont hurt you, or your child". This is my chance! She thought. " So I'm pregnant? Really am I? I'll do what you say if you answer, AM I"? She yelled the last part because she wanted her friends to hear her, and it worked.
"Oh these caves are endless", Stella whined, "Quit complaining Stella, we're doing this to save Bloom". Said Layla, when they heard someone yelling, "You guys, that sounded like Bloom", said Musa. "Yes! That means we're close lets go guys" said Techna.
Blooms thoughts:
Just as we were about to leave, Baltor pulled out a gun, unbelievable huh? " My dear, I have weapons of every kind" he said, " You are such an evil being, probably the most evil person I've ever met", I told him. Just then, all my friends appeared and I felt incredibly happy to see them. But they couldn't get close because Baltor pointed the gun to me, one move and I was history." Don't you dare" Sky growled. No one had a back up plan, and now I was really scared, then there was a tense moment. I guess Sky couldn't take the tense moment any longer because….
Sky's thought
I couldn't take it any longer so I ran into Baltor, trying to push him away from Bloom; I guess he knew my intentions because he almost pulled the trigger. I managed to push him in time. What I didn't think of was who would get shot if not Bloom? He still had the gun in his hand so we fought on the ground for a while, everyone helped Bloom, and the guys tried to break Baltor and I apart, when I heard the gun shot………
"Sky"… Bloom whispered with tears in her eyes…
