Chapter 20
—
Bloom I looked around me. "This isn't real. is it?" I asked looking at him with some kind of grudge I couldn't help but feel angry. I had let my gard down had trusted him, how could I be so foolish.
He looked at me with that smile that smug smile filled with selfishness and yet I could see the loneliness it brought with it. O how I hated seeing that side of him, it makes me feel sad. Makes me pity him almost want to help him but I can't. "This isn't real. Is it" I repeated louder this time. He shook his head. "You never woke up, The sun will never rise Firefly." He said looking at me.
I looked at him horrified "Wh—what do you mean haven't woken. I woke this morning Stella told me I had to dress differently and I—I went to miss,F and Sky he…He laid there.." I said looking at him shaking my head.
He kept looking at me like that, in that odd way, "No. This is what it could be like. I could help you. I can give you your parents back help you find who you are where you came from. And I had to show you how life with me could be Firefly. You said it yourself You weren't scared." he smiled.
"Where is Sky?" I asked him I didn't want to go into what he said I didn't care. It wasn't important not right now.
"It doesn't matter he's somewhere I haven't harmed him" He said as he looked at me. He walked closer to me and looked me in the eyes bowing down slightly, "Now Firefly, We should discus your parents I mean you do want them back in your life now don't you?".
I looked at him stunned my mouth hang open slightly as I just gazed at him in an unbelieving way. "Y—Yes… Yes I do… But. What will it take?" I asked looking at him with the same emotionless expresion.
"It will only take about a year. Sparx needs it's new princess and There for you need to learn how to behave like one speak like one even breath like one for all I care. When you can be a Queen we will go to Obsidian and free your parents Taking your little prince with us because He will be King next year and only a King can free them from there internal grave" He said it so plain as if it was so easy like it had no emotional attachment at all.
To him it might not have but to me it did, He was talking about my parents my real parents the one people I've been looking for for years now. Only to even get a glimpse of them would be such a great thing. I'd do anything to get them back.
I nodded, "I'll do it. Whatever it takes. I need them back I need my parents and I need to safe my planet." I said quietly. " I will work with you but in order to do so I have to wake up. You have to let me wake up" I said looking at him.
He gave a slight nod, "and remember you don't want to be with him, Firefly He will ruin you in some way, Anyway" He said before saying goodbye and everything started changing it all turned black and than the colour came back.
I opened my eyes. "Bloom!" I heard voices gasp.
I looked up to see Flora , Stella ,Tecna and Musa. "What are you all doing here?" I asked them sitting up slightly.
"We worried for you, You know how long you have been sleeping?" Musa said. I shook my head.
"Three days sweetheart." Flora said looking at me.
"We need to get here some food and a lot of fluid She will get dehydrated. If she isn't already." Tecna said looking at the others.
Stella nodded. "I will get it and then Musa can go to miss,F to tell her Bloom woke up. So she can tell Sky"
"Sky? He isn't sleeping? But miss,F told us That he couldn't wake up unless I did" I said looking at them.
"Bloom sweetie Sky had to go back home to Eraklyon His parents need him to be crowned king."
"What? No no he can not be king. He can't not yet if he is going to be King He will not be able to Be free. " I said panicked.
"Bloom calm down he is just going to become king He isn't like getting married to Diaspro or anything"
"He can't if he does…I-I-I.. never mind" I said. I can't tell them Valtor will capture him and keep him locked if he becomes King.
"Bloom It'll be okay. You just have to accept that" Stella said. looking at me in an odd way.
Musa looked at her, a sharp look Flora looked at the ground and Tecna kept quiet.
"Guys whats wrong?" I asked looking at them.
"Nothing" everyone said quickly.
"Tell me" I said stubborn.
"Stella is going to marry him" Musa said, "MUSA!" Stella shouted. "You promised!".
"Stella don't be such a baby, You are marring your best friends kinda still but not boyfriend. It is a bad idea And you know it" Musa said looking at Stella.
"I don't care. Okay. I got to get going " I said getting up and walking into the hallway.
He is going to help me he has to. I walked to mrs. F.
"Hello Bloom. Can I help you?" she asked me kindly. I nodded. "Yes. Valtor is going to help me find my parents. And for that I want him to be able to come and go as he likes" I said looking at her.
Her eyes widened "Bloom I cannot" She gasped.
"You can we both know so. He is a great sorcerer And I need his help. My parents are in Obsidion and he has been the only one to survive that place. I need him to get in there and get out. I need to be ready to be a Queen when I go there and I need a king To free my parents from Obsidian" I said loud and clear.
Faragonda kept quite for a while looking outside. "Bloom I cannot allow him to come upon these grounds. And I cannot allow you to see him with me knowing it. So this conversation has never taken place. And you will meet Valtor every midnight at the opening in the forest. Where I shall watch over you. Child this is a dangerous path you're about to take".
She looked at me and I nodded. " I know but I have to.".
She looked at me once more, " I know child. This is why I shall not try and talk you out of any of this. But as for being ready for being a Queen, I can arrange for lessons"
I smiled and thanked her. "Thank you, you don't know how much this means to me" I smiled.
She gave me a genuine smile and nodded, "Now go child".
I nodded got up and left her office. "This might actually happen" I said to myself.
