"Thank God!" I whisper and run over to Stella to hug her.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." I hear a deep voice say. I turn around and look directly into his eyes.
"Darkar"
Chapter XXIX: Time has come
"Well; he couldn't make it" Avalon says, when he steps out of the shadows.
"Fine. You'll do." I say as if I'm so tough.
"Ah but the question is: will you? Did you have any dreams lately?" he asks and I feel a shock go thru me. How does he know that? I don't have to mind him; he's just guessing to make me weak.
"You have to let Stella go. You don't want her." I say, hanging on to the tough 'attitude'.
"Oh so you figured that out. Well done." He starts to walk around in the cave. Oh it's a different cave then I explained to the guys. How's that possible? They will never find me! Though this cave must be close to the other one. "Then you probably know I can't let her go if you don't stay." Oh! The nerve!
"Then you know I won't stay if you don't let her go." I say, getting angry. He smirks.
"I have to admit; I haven't thought about that."
"Look" I say "You know me right? Because it was you who read my dreams, helped me with my parents and trained me, wasn't it? Then you know that if I promise to stay here IF you release Stella, then that's what I'll do" Did I just say that? That I was going to stay? I should fight, hurt Avalon and get out with Stella; but somewhere along I lost it, the will to fight. I'm so sick of it! I shake my head. What the hell? I'm a fighter, I'm a winner. I'll fight him and hell I'll win. I ask Stella in a whispering tone if she still has her ring on.
"Yes" is the word I can barely hear from a weak Stella. She has to get out of her; she won't survive very long here.
"Is there any way that I could use it to transport you?" I ask
"No." she faintly says.
"What are you two girls talking about?"
"You know, girl stuff." I reply sarcastically
"I don't like chitchat during my lessons."
"So this is a lesson to you?" I ask, unbelievingly.
"Off course" he bows his head "Frustrate this! Per tenebrae adi!" he suddenly says and a dark stream of magic appears, lifts me up and makes me fall to the ground.
"Ouch." He says, smiling evilly.
Sky's POV:
"Why did she do that?!" I exclaim lividly.
"Because she wants to do it on her own because she thinks she's strong" Timmy says
"No she doesn't." Riven says. "She may be stupid, but she's not that stupid."
"Why thank you Riven!" Musa says irate. He just glares at her.
"Musa she's gone." Flora says "I mean really gone. I don't think she'll will return."
"I'm so sorry." Brandon says to me.
"What? Why? She just went to save Stella and then she'll come back." I see the look on everyone's faces.
"She won't. Oh God she won't" Musa starts repeating to herself.
"Musa…" Riven starts but she cuts him off.
"Oh another funny remark. Sure, keep 'em coming." She says and looks at him with red eyes. He walks over to her and suddenly he pulls her in a hug. She seems as surprised as him.
"We can make another plan" Timmy says to Tecna
"Is she really going change with Stella?" Tecna says distracted.
"It's okay Tecna. We'll find some way to get them both out."
"Oh please Timmy we don't even know if she showed us the right way."
"Well excuse me for trying!" he says indignantly and turns away from her.
"Oh come on Timmy you know I didn't mean it that way! Look at me." She desperately yells. He turns around and takes her to a place a bit further in the cave where he starts showing her things on his computer and she slowly calms down. Flora and Helia are just standing closely to each other and looking at each other. Austere, just the way they are.
"We should first try to find the place where Stella is imprisoned." Brandon says.
"If we're in time which we'll try very hard; then maybe we'll find Bloom" he continues. Thinking about the possibility that Stella is coming back to him, he has become stronger. But now that I know what Bloom is about to do, I feel so lifeless; or better I feel useless.
"Damned!" I curse "Damned damned damned" I keep saying as an eternal litany.
Layla's POV:
This is bad. Really bad. And we have to go! Before Sky does something stupid. He's going crazy! Oops, too late. He punches with his hand in the wall.
"AAA!" he curses. Correction, he punched his hand against the wall, since he figured out too late that walls are usually made out of stone, which is really hard to break. I think he knows now.
"Okay, okay you're hurt, you're in pain. Are you happy now? No? let's go then." I say
"Guys we really should go." I say impatiently
"Is that all you think about?" Timmy asks.
"C'mon let's just go."Musa says and walks to the ship together with Riven. Waw, Bloom's absence sure does have a positive effect on the romance meter. Jesus.
Bloom's POV:
Okay; we have been fighting for the last 10 minutes and he isn't a tiny little bit hurt or tired. Not one bruise! It's so frustrating. I feel my powers can withhold for a long time; but I know he's stronger. Stella is still lying there, weakening every minute now. I have to get her out; one way or another. Maybe I should create a portal; not a very strong one, something small that will lead her to a near cave or tunnel.
"Aren't you simply exhausted now?" Avalon asks.
"No. You?" I say and quickly fire a triple blast at him, causing him to fall down. I have to be quick now. To create a smaller portal, there is no extreme concentration necessary, so the portal is there pretty quick. I can be proud of myself. I run over to Stella and kind of throw her in the portal after whispering in her ear
"Tell Sky I love him." I don't know if she heard it and maybe I'm just imagining her nodding because I want it to be true.
"No!" Avalon shouts and he jumps in front of me, with a totally different face: he has shining fangs and ugly scars written all over his face, as ink is written on paper.
"What are you?" I ask scared
"You don't want to know" the creature in front of me darkly says
Sky's POV:
"Maybe we should just follow the route Bloom told us about." Tecna says
"I think that plan has a 70 percent chance of succeeding" Timmy nods
"I'm thinking 100" Tecna replies
"I think you're wrong there; you see according to my calculations..."
"Timmy!" she looks at him and winks at him.
"Oh" he just says and blushes. "Yeah definitely 100" he says
You know what; I don't care how much percent there is that we'll succeed. I don't care.
"We detected two humans" Tecna says, pointing at the screen and my heart jumps up. Two?!
"I switch to turbo." Timmy says, pushing a few buttons and the ship goes twice as fast now.
"We have to get out here." Timmy says "It's too narrow here for the ship."
I don't care if we had to crawl to that place; I need to see her! I get out first and start running in the only direction there is: straight on. When I arrive in the cave, followed by the others, I see a very pale Stella and a tall person in a blue cape. I fall down to my knees. That's not Bloom; she's gone. I go to the person and pull of his cape.
"You bastard!" I yell and punch his face.
"Wow Sky calm down!" Riven says "Let go of him."
"But he took Bloom!" I exclaim angry
"Would he be here if he took her? Oh come on look how weak he is!" Riven says
"That must be the real Avalon." Flora says wisely
"She figured it out. Applause for the lady."Riven says sarcastically.
"Oh please" Musa says and immediately runs over to Stella, together with Flora.
"What's wrong with her?" Brandon asks, in a mixture of happiness and worry.
"She needs sun!" Layla says "And she needs it very quickly. Let's get to the ship!"
"Wait a minute! And what about him?!" I ask pointing at that piece of shit, lying in the corner.
"We'll take him with us." Timmy says
"Maybe he knows more about Darkar. He could help us." Tecna says.
"Fine" I say and help him up. God that guy is just bones. I hope he doesn't weigh too much though.
Bloom's POV:
He grabs me by my shoulders, looking at me oddly. I don't like to admit it, but I am really frightened right now. Being afraid of the dentist when I was 8 seems so ridiculous now. I have to fight back. He looks at me expectantly. He wants me to fight back. But I had enough of it. There is no hope left for me. So I say two little destructive words.
"Take me."
A/N: Oh no what did she do?! Stupid silly little girl! Aaah brilliant! You probably understand that the story is almost over. I'm guessing one more chapter; maybe two and that will be it. I'm not sure if I will write more WinxClub stories then, though I loved to write this one! I'll just see how this one eventually turns out.
Thanx for all the pretty reviews!
