Chapter 11: Hints to the secret untold: Part 2 phase 1- Paper Blueprint
Blossom walked across the hallway, the noise of the rain echoes. Droplets on the windows ran, the rain spatters on the glass, the blurred city behind the, it's lighted spires woven with mist. The air felt cold. It was a rainy day.
She was heading to the library. That's her weekend hobby-to go ad visit the library for the books she wouldn't find in the city library.
She opened the wooden door. A loud creak made it sound as it closes. She made her way to the shelves she always visits.
She sat beside the window. Blossom began to flip the pages one by one. She starts absorbing what she reads.
The door creaked open, ad a loud bang followed. A track of footsteps was heading towards the table where Blossom sits.
"Hey. What are you doing here?" Blossom asked.
"Just returning the book I burrowed." Said Brick sitting down.
"Uhm … Okay."
Brick stood up from his seat and carried his book. Blossom looked at Brick while he's returning the book.
A paper fell out of the book.
Blossom picked up the paper and looked around for Brick. She saw the door closed that which means, Brick already left.
Blossom looked at the paper and got serious.
It was a sketch of the Townsville's Hall and the mayor's house. At the back of it, there's a list of places where could've the mayor will go.
Blossom raised an eyebrow. 'Why did he sketched this? We don't have a project for that.' She folded the paper and put it in her pocket.
Immediately, she stood up and got out of the library. 'I need to investigate this.' She thought.

"Where'd you saw this?" Buttercup asked.
"I found it in the school library." Blossom said. "Do you know why there's a sketch of the hall and the mayor's house?"
"Like if I know the answer to that, Blossom." Buttercup rolled her eyes.
"You're not helping, Buttercup."
"Why do you need to investigate that? What about it?" Buttercup said half-yelled.
"Because it's weird!" Blossom yelled.
"What's weird about it if it's in the library!" Buttercup yelled back.
Silence enters. Blossom closed her eyes and said "Actually, I didn't found it in the library. It fell out in some book that Brick borrowed." She said softly.
"Uh … Well … Maybe he just sketch it because it's a nice thing to draw…" Bubbles suggested.
"With the list of all the possible places that the mayor will go? I don't think so, Bubbles." Buttercup asked sarcastically.
"Well …" Bubbles paused. "I think nothing. It is weird."
"Right. I'll just ask him tomorrow." Blossom said. "But for now, let's just go to sleep. We have school again tomorrow."
And after Blossom said that, the three of them flew to their own rooms and slept.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm clock went off. A yawn broke the silence.
Blossom stood up and fixed her bed. "What a good night's sleep." She smiled to herself. After fixing her bed, she quickly went into the shower to prepare herself to school.
"Blossom! Hurry up! You're going to be late!" shouted professor.
"Coming! Hang on a second!"

"Class, turn your textbooks on page 94."
Blossom flipped the page to 94. She saw a paper fell out and picked it up.
'Oh, right. The blueprint.' She squinted her eyes and turned her head to Brick.
Her palms are sweating, and her cheeks felt hot. 'Man, sure is hot today. Or it's just me?'
She tapped Brick's shoulder and opened her mouth. "Uh … about yesterday. Why do you have on you book?"
"Hmm? Oh this?" Brick held the paper. "I just wanted to sketch these."
"But why do you have a list of possible places that the mayor can go?"
"Nothing. I'm just interested and curious that's all."
"I see … Anyway, I have to tutor you again, right?"
"Yeah."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So, Blossom, what did he said?" asked Buttercup.
"He's just curious and interested." Blossom paused. "That's all."
"That's not even a good enough reason. That is still weird." Commented Buttercup.
"But he already reasoned out, Buttercup."
"And you believe and trusted him that easily?"
"Of course I do. He is just a student like US."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Crash! A thunder clapped at the skies again.
"It's going to be a rainy night." Whispered Bubbles.
"Yeah, I know. I hope no one is outside." Said Buttercup.
"Girls, let's just sleep. Tomorrow will be sunny…" Blossom said.
The three girls walked to their rooms' and slept.
The night was peaceful and so did the citizens of Townsville. The rain was gone and cold breezes are left. Meanwhile, Blossom was lying on her back thinking what her sister said.
And you believed and trust him that easily? Buttercup's voice echoed through her mind.
"Trust … What do Buttercup meant by that? Does she know something I don't know?" Blossom whispered.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Blossom stood up and picked up the phone. "Isn't it too early for crimes?" She thought aloud.
"Hello? Mayor?" She asked in a soft voice. "What's the problem?"
Silence enters. Blossom got no reply on the other line. She just waited there; standing and holding the phone to her ear.
"Hello …" again, she asked the person on the other line.
It was odd that no one answers on the other line. She thought. The Mayor always answers even though his mouth is full of pickles.
She put a hand on her hip and kept waiting. It was odd to her that no one answers, she's a powerpuff, everyone responds to her. Maybe there could've have happen. We couldn't tell you know, it's hard to think negative. It just makes pressure and paranoia.
"Ifs" are the scariest words we could hear. You don't know if it's true or will it happen. And right now, Blossom is thinking. What could've happen? Why not answer quickly? Why do I have to wait? We couldn't never really tell what or why, it just does. She's afraid that something had happen to the Mayor. Well ... She was right.
"You..." Said the person on the phone.
"H-hello?!" Blossom sputtered. She quickly silenced and listened for an answer.
"Want to know what happened to your dearest mayor?" the person chuckled. "We just gave him a good night sleep."
"What did you do to him?! ANSWER ME!" Blossom demanded. She bit her lip.
Another chuckle. "Oh, don't worry. It's not a big deal. We can talk about it without yelling."
Blossom sighed. "What do you want?" She asked calmly. "Money?" she sat on her bed, listening for the caller's answer.
"Money? Are you even serious? I'd rob a bank if I want money." He paused. "You're not going to bargain me, don't you? Listen, right now, your precious mayor of Townsville is getting his sleep. And if you don't say yes to my question, say 'bye-bye' to him 'cause he'll be gone… forever."
"Just tell me what you want," Blossom growled.
"I like your attitude… I want Townsville to be on my own hands. And not even you powerpuffs can stop me."
Blossom thought for a moment. Would she allow him? No, of course not. It wasn't the end of the world to say yes to him. But what should she do? Tomorrow, there's going to be big news all over Townsville. And the citizens will count on them. The mayor's gone, and she has no idea where they could hide. The caller left no clue. Even the background sound is empty; it's dead silent. The only left is the caller's voice. But it's clearly obvious that it was not its real voice, so, her only option it to look over town. But that would be hard, though. It would cost her school days. They would search all over town, everything, including every corner of the buildings.
Blossom bit her lip. She doesn't know what to answer. Her fists' clenched. And her eyes are glancing around her room while thinking.
"I'm going to give you three days to think about my offer. For now, we won't do anything." The caller hung up.
"He-hello?!" Blossom called. But all could she hear is the beeping of the phone.
She hung up and went to sleep.
