Chapter 28
Sky
Showered an dressed came in drawing room where he saw Roxy in cotton rob sitting on sofa with a paper in her hand. "What is it?" he asked looking at the letter.
"Bloom wrote it for you… she came here?"
"yeah right before I went into the shower she was here" he replied reading the paper in his hand. "She wants me to see Timmy, why couldn't she say this to me… stupid girl" he whispered.
"well… maybe she saw me in your bed" Roxy gave her opinion.
Sky still looked confused.
"Ah! Why you boys are so dumb, she might get the wrong idea about me and you"
"oh! Of course.. anyways I kind of don't care what she thinks, she has nothing to do with me she made it pretty clear but what is this with Timmy" said sky picking up his iPhone and open threads.
He saw Timmy's chat box where was a long thread about everything that explained bloom and Neil and his eyes were getting narrower with each line.
"What is it?" Roxy asked. "tell me what is it."
"I have no god damm idea" sky mumbled.
FAIRYTOPHIA
Bloom is sitting on terrace with coffee mug in her hand, thinking about sky behavior over the last few months and try to assuming why Neil still hasn't asked her about visit to Sky's home this morning or afternoon or whatever. Her heart ache at the sight of his bedroom but today she didn't cry. Maybe life had made her strong enough to handle horrible situations or maybe because for this one, she had been preparing herself from the moment sky car bumped into her. That drive to school registration campus were hardest minutes of her life when felt surprisingly relaxed when Neil came.
Maybe he is not as evil as I think of him.
"Bloom" Stella called. "you okay?"
"I don't know Stella" bloom replied
Stella chuckled "what?"
"Am serious" said bloom. "it's like I don't know how to feel right now, everything is so messed up, am feeling….. empty."
Stella sighed. "has Neil asked about meeting with sky?"
"No he didn't and he won't." bloom replied. "I don't think he spies on me all the time, he never asked me about anything, maybe am scared of him for no reason…maybe he is not as bad as-"
"Bloom stop" Stella cut in middle with tensed eyes. "you can't let yourself drawn to man who held you captive for half a year. Sky hurt you today I get it but don't forget what Neil did with you… you don't have to settle bloom, it's just matter of time that we find a solution and everything will be back to normal"
"This is all am waiting for, for a solution" bloom replied. "an antidote" she thought.
"I should go there" said Stella standing up and bloom just nodded.
Sky
"Timmy" sky growled walking into old library where was more computers and other equipment than he imagined. "what the hell is this?" He asked showing his message on screen.
"here he comes, am gonna win the bet on his response" said Timmy looking back to his transparent computer screen.
Brandon sighed "I know its hard to accept dude but it actually explains a lot about bloom's behaviour over a past year"
"What the fuck you talking about?" Sky snapped. "You actually believed that bullshit of her. Someone injected a bloody virus in my body?"
"Are you out of your mind sky?" Brandon shouted from behind.
"Or maybe you all are" Sky replied. "she gave you this crap as her so called explanation and you all nerd fell for it"
"She didn't gave any explanation" said Timmy. " she asked for help to make an antidote, .asshole... which is why I need to take an sample of your blood." Said Timmy with syringe in his hand.
"Really? Then where hell this idea for antidote was for over one year?" Sky kept shouting. " She could have told me this long before if this crap was true.. I asked her for like thousand times"
"Come on dude" said Brandon. "she was scared of that Neil guy , we don't know what he is capable of and bloom-"
"save it Brandon" sky cut him. "there is no way am gonna believe this shit."
"You know what sky" riven shouted. "you better don't , maybe that Neil guy is better for her than you, he made a lot of effort for bloom even when she don't have anything for him. But all you do is just treat that girl like shit... I mean have you ever actually loved her"
Sky clenched his teeth and grab Riven's collar. "that girl" sky said in husky but angry voice. "is my life...which is took from me. All she had to do just trust me but she didn't. She thought am that weak that for saving my life she had to be with someone else" sky eyes teared and were burning red.
He loosened his grip from riven's collar. They knew it would be impossible to handle him after he knows the truth. he knew Bloom was not lying it was just hard and a lot to take. Feeling of guilt,anger rage were eating him all at once and then he felt a hand on his shoulder from behind.
" we understand" said Brandon . "but she did all this because she loves you and was so scared to see you hurt, think from her side sky, you will feel better."
"stop making a whole new mess" said Timmy. "once I made antidote, Neil is done and everything will back to normal"
"Fuck antidote" sky shouted again. "Am gonna kill him today" he spanked his hands on table before start walking out.
"Don't you dare" said Stella standing there with her hands crossed. "We are not idiots here sky, we saw what he is capable of"
"Then it's time for you to see what I am capable of." Sky replied. "He would be dead on that beach if bloom would have told me"
"well sky, he is already dead" Stella told.
"What?"
"in fact he has been dead for like 6 years, he belongs to vampires... and you know what he had been doing since he woke up" Stella came closer to sky. "he was preparing, preparing to face you, to kill you, making himself stronger everyday and you my dear don't even know what he is" she said calmly looking into his eyes which were burning. "So you better step back and let us find out that what the hell he did with your body."
"she is right sky." said riven "you are being guided by your rage, which is not good idea right now."
"fine" said Sky. Finally somehow control himself and let timmy take his blood.
"In mean time, maybe you should think of a good excuse for last night" stella mocked.
Sky sighed. How he didn't see that coming? But now as he was a little in his sense he decided to go to see bloom. She must be devastated from what she saw this morning but how would he face her.
The answer he was seeking was finally known to everyone but broke sky into million peaces.
"I think you all can rest now" said timmy. "it just my job left."
"no" said stella. "I don't think you should be alone here and destroying the plan of one of most dangerous guy on planet."
"don't worry, we're here" said Brandon.
Walking out with stella, sky called bloom but she hasn't picked up. "where is she?" sky mumbled.
"Stop panicking, she might fall asleep" said stella.
"thinking me having sex with another girl, yeah ofcourse she would be sleeping" Sky snapped still dialling her number. "I hurt her a lot stella, ever since I came back i treat her like hell when she was already suffering"
"Don't blame everything on yourself, it will make you weak" said Stella. "and this is exactly what neil wants... and don't worry, she will call you once she get calm."
Sky dropped Stella at Fairytophia with hope of meeting bloom but she was not in her room. Stella found a hand written note on her bed says 'don't panic, I am fine, I need some time alone'. Sky somehow agreed on wait as there was lot going on in her life and in his too.
Next morning,
Bloom spent all night at Neil's home(not palace) alone but he was coming today from his business or whatever trip he was on. Thinking about how her life would turn out when they got the cure for Sky. Neil would be furious, maybe he would try to kill all of us but they were strong enough to fight him back when he would have nothing over them. And maybe sky would left the town with Roxy but he might also stay for the sake of his child, I don't know. But I should prepare myself for raising a baby alone, Stella wouldn't leave me I know, but I can't be a burden on my friends and maybe I have to skip my semester. Miss faragonda won't mind.
She was consumed in her thoughts but then her phone rang . Again. She didn't even want to bother to look at it. Sky has been calling her all night but she knew she was making everyone tense. "One night that's all I asked for" she mumbled walking to the phone but it wasn't Sky.
"Stella" bloom answered.
"Where are you bloom, sky has been asking for you?" Stella asked.
Bloom sighed. "I don't want to see him, you know that"
"Come on bloom, you Can at least talk to him.. I know you must be hurt but at least listen to what he has to say"
"Stella it is not about him" said bloom calmly. " I just can't handle anything or anyone before Timmy and Tacna made a cure.. I just don't want anything new to deal with before that"
"What kind of excuse is that" stella grawled. "tell me where you are am picking you up?"
"Wait a minute Stella, am getting a call from timmy, maybe he got something" said bloom excitedly. "will meet you in library, bye" she handed up.
"Hey Timmy, please tell me you got something" said bloom desperately.
"Actually bloom"
"What?"
"Ahh, it not as simple as I thought, I worked whole night, this thing in his body, it's keep changing its structure" said timmy
"What is that mean?"
"Means it cure can't be made, and if we try to extract him from his body, it start growing itself,it is capable of recognize sky's DNA, Bloom It is designed to kill no matter how."
Bloom could feel her temple nerve beating but she tried to keep herself calm "timmy it just one night, can't we talk to your superiors about this, I mean there must be something we are missing , it can't be that complicated"
"Bloom" said Timmy "you don't understand, it's not just some biological virus, it involves Black magic, every time I try to destroy this, it regrows, kills vector's cells and then destroy itself... Am sorry but it's not just science" Timmy explained.
Bloom couldn't get her voice out and she felt a tear dropped from her cheek. She couldn't feel her leg and sat on sofa. "what I was thinking" she thought with her head in her hands. "how could I be so stupid to think that it would be so easy, how could someone do that. Neil wants me, he shouldn't have played with my life, I can't bear that sky life is at stake just because someone is attracted to me. No I have to do something." she kept thinking sitting on same place for like hours but she was determined to finally put this thing to an end. Finally door opened up and she realized that Neil came.
"Bloom" he sounded surprised seeing her in his house but hugged her. "what you doing here? Everything alright?" Neil asked looking worried.
"Am fine, was waiting for you" bloom replied with a faint smile.
"I was about to call you actually" said Neil and try to sense something in her eyes. "but then I thought I will pick you up in evening... didn't expect to see you here."
He sounded pleased, Bloom was pouring water in glass on table when Neil was carefully watching her removing his black blazer.
"Bloom" he called her name. " is there something going on in your mind"
Bloom stopped.
"Which I need to know" neil added.
"Actually yes" She replied after a pause.
"Then say it." he said in his cold but calm expression.
Bloom kept looking at him when he was slowly moving towards her. He stand at arms length from her with his hands in black slacks pocket.
"I want you to cure Sky" said bloom.
Neil didn't move, he knew she was not that stupid that she would expect him to just cure Sky. As response he just narrowed his eyes a little which was enough to make her heart jumped.
"Cure him and I will do whatever you say" bloom added.
"That's all?" asked Neil. "but you already have to do what I say anyways bloom, have you forgot?"
"yes i have to do what you says, because am scared of you," bloom replied. "Not because I love you".
"What is your point here bloom?" Neil asked raising his voice.
She hesitated a little but she knew that she couldn't get weak.
"you forced me to be with you neil, you held me captive in your palace, you turned my life around and everything you could to make me fall in love with you." bloom said each word specifically. "But have I ?.. no, I have not." she added
Neil clenched his fist and bloom could see the pain in his eyes.
"whenever I try to feel anything good about you, reality hit me that someone could die because of me and I can't live like that." bloom continues with no idea how Neil would respond. "no matter how scared I am of you Neil I won't be able to fall for you like this and I want to, I want something real, something to feel for you." her eyes got wet but she did moved from her place.
"so you are saying, I cure sky and you will forget him and fall in love with me... you think am that stupid bloom?" Neil asked with a kind of pain.
"Am saying that I am ready to give this relationship a chance... an actual relationship" Bloom replied. "It is you who are not letting me forget about Sky. Things were different back then Neil, time has passed, sky moved on and I need to do the same. But I can't do it like this, I need to be free from any burden of my past". Bloom kept looking at him but he didn't say anything. She waited and irritatedly shook her head. "looks like am just wasting my time." She said and start moving towards the door but Neil caught her hand.
Her heart skip a beat and she turned to him.
"Okay." Said Neil with a little wet eyes.
For a moment bloom couldn't believe that he actually agreed. There was no chance, she thought she was dreaming.
"Really?" bloom asked.
Neil nodded "but.."
"What?" bloom frowned.
"You have to marry me first." Neil demanded.
Bloom looked at him for a second and then nodded "okay."
He came closer and hugged her. "I know you don't love me and am okay with it as long as you are happy.. just don't betray me bloom"
"I won't." said bloom and first time, hugged him back.
Neil didn't want to leave her ever, he buried his face in her hair, He thought bloom is right, all he did just forced her to be with him and never felt anything real before in her eyes for him. Originally he never planned to cure sky but he was also man of his words... he would never lie to bloom.
He stayed like that for couple of moments and then his phone rang.
"I have to take this." he said to bloom and answered. "hello."
# "Sir, this is chief engineer from technical branch. Laboratory is in fire."
"What?" Neil shocked. "shift everything you can to palace, I will be right there" He disconnected .
"What happened?" Bloom asked.
"nothing you need to worry about.. I need to go, come on I will drop you"
Bloom over heard his message about fire but she had nothing to do with it.
Neil dropped her at fairytophia and left for his private research center. Where a detective gave him his opinion that it must be an accident
"There was so much security here, its impossible to broke into and set fire" said the detective.
"have you checked the CCTV footage?" Neil asked.
"No, they are sent to your palace"
"And now must be mixed with palace security camera tapes" cheif engineer interupped in scared voice.
"Check each one carefully." Neil ordered and they nodded.
Fairytophia
Bloom removed her sandals, took a shower and she was starving but also too tired to order something and wait. She opened the fridge, there was a bowl of fruit salad with a tag "bloom's"
"Flora must have made this... she is love" she thought. Feeling grateful she finished it all, and went straight to her room as she was tired to talk to anyone.
Although not much has changed since yesterday yet she was a little light headed today, she thought she should had this conversation with neil long before, it was pointless to fight him, she turned off the lights and finally slept.
Neil's palace.
Neil had so much to do after return, he was kind of busy whole day . He was still busy in lab work but called bloom for dinner, she didn't pick up. Stella told him that she slept in after he dropped her in evening.
"Excuse me sir." Someone from private investigation team called him. "you need to have a look on this"
"You got something?" Neil asked , walking into a room with almost 20 LED screens.
"When your technical personnel ordered to shift everything here, in haste they might have mixed laboratory tapes with that of palace, we are not sure what is it, but can be a break in into palace." That investigators explained.
"no, you misunderstood something" Neil replied calmly and confidently. "its impossible to broke into palace"
He watch the video and then they showed him roomed and in slowest motion possible. Neil narrowed his eyes and noticed a shadow moving hardly visible. At that moment he knew, whatever or whoever it is.. is professionally trained but why in palace.
"Which side it is?" Neil asked "cabinet hall?"
"No sir.. on first floor miss bloom's room"
Every muscle on Neil's body tightened listening to this, but he didn't react t all. 'No, it can't be true, she don't love me, but she can never betray me, its unlike her.' he thought. "anything other that this?" he asked.
"No sir"
"then it's nothing, close all this and turn your focus on laboratory." He said and moved out but a person in white coat followed him.
"Neil wait." He named him like he was more that just a scientific. "you can't ignore this, what if sky had been in bloom's room?" He whispered and Neil grabbed his neck.
He pushed him into the wall and lift him above the ground.
"listen you baster, I consider you as my friend this is why you are still alive after saying this about her, she can't do this and don't you dare to say anything or even think about her" said Neil and left his neck. He settled his blazer and left that man coughing on ground.
Fairytophia.
It was couple of hours later than midnight, Bloom woke up in her bed but kept her eyes closed. she still wanted to sleep but all dizziness had gone when she saw sky sitting on sofa chair in front of her. She remained in same position, maybe she got used to of the sudden unexpected visits.
"You are the last person I want to see right now." Said bloom plainly.
Sky just smiled at her.
"For how long you have been here?" Bloom asked "you could have wake me up."
"Am not capable of give you more trouble." Said Sky.
Bloom sat on her bed. "trouble? Like telling me that you love me one day and sleeping with another girl next day and then promise me to never show your face again and then showing up In my room out of nowhere another day?" asked Bloom sarcastically.
Sky got up from chair. "No, trouble like force you into relationship, imprisoned you, make you hurt the person you love and maybe a lot more I don't know yet," he said placing her flick behind her year.
He sat in front of her "why haven't you told me bloom, you think am that weak that you have to go through all this alone, I asked you hundred times, do you have any idea how that feels?" sky asked try to make eye contact with her.
"Do you have any idea how it felt when you I saw you screamed in pain" said bloom. "I couldn't bear it for a single moment, how could I let you die just because I want to be with you."
"You should have told me Bloom, you should have trusted me." he snapped in low painful voice.
Bloom always knew how hurt Sky would be if he got to know the truth. It was not just about his feelings for bloom but his self respect, his dignity.
"may be, but I know how it would end and it scares me, there is no point of all this now Sky, you have got your answers why I do all of this, I think you should leave me alone now." said bloom.
"You must be kidding right?" said sky. "I love you bloom, how can you even say that,"
"you love me? Is this why you are with roxy?" Bloom snapped and try to get off the bed. But sky stopped her.
"There is nothing between me and roxy" he said coming close. "I know what you saw bloom but trust me there is nothing ever happened between us."
"You think am that idiot, sky am not asking for explanation we broke up, it's fine just don't lie to me"
"She was swimming when I got home that night, and I drank too much thanks to you... we just happened to fell asleep on same bed , why would I lie" sky explained but not every detail .
It sounded convincing to Bloom but it didn't matter. Before he could say anything Sky cupped her face.
"You don't have to worry about anything love, I will fix everything‐"
"No sky" bloom shouted. "please don't, I know how must be feeling right now but trust me I tried to fix everything infact we all try to find something that could help.. I even talked to miss Faragonda, Darcy... sky I would kill myself if anything happened to you because of me" said bloom with tears flowing over her cheeks.
"Nothing would happen Bloom," he said wiping her tears. "just give me a little time, I will make his life hell , I will make him pay for what he did, just trust me.. and tell me you love me... I need to hear it."
Bloom looked at him and wanted to believe him and sleep like a child in his arms but she knew it could only happen in her dreams. "sky am getting married... this Friday... am sorry but I have to do this for my love for you... please don't do anything stupid."
Sky's heart was tearing apart but not because she was getting married, he knew that her life is driven by Neil but because she couldn't trust him.
He sighed "you are doing all this to save my life, you think I would be able to survive knowing that you have to sleep with someone else to save my life" he said with clenched jaw and angry voice.
Bloom remained silent, it was hard to see all in his eyes at same moment, love, anger, guilt, desperation.
"I promise you bloom" sky continued. "You won't get married, I will come for you and you would come with me... do you understand?
Bloom shocked her head with scared face. "sky listen to me please" she said when sky started take step backwards. "you don't know-" she couldn't even finish her Sentence before he disappeared outside the window. "How the hell he do that" she shouted to herself.
'Why there can't be a single day without anything that burst my mind, this I why I always chose not to tell sky and I was right,"
She knew there is no use of talk to him anymore, all she did just hoped that he wouldn't show up but she also knew that he would and it was terrifying.
It was impossible to fell asleep after that, she kept thinking rest of night, waited for girls to woke up and tell them everything but when it was about to morning she fell asleep again and woke up by Neil's call.
She saw his blurred name on screen and picked up.
"hello" she answered in sleepy voice.
"Bloom.. are you okay, you have been sleeping since evening"
"it just 9am neil.. am fine, was little tired."
"Okay. I want you to come to palace , I have something to discuss and we will have lunch together."
"Yeah.. okay"
"I will send you car to pick you up be ready." Neil said and hanged up.
Bloom get out of bed and went to girls.
"Why haven't you wake me up.. do you know what the hell happened with me in last hours" said bloom sitting at dining table.
"Let me guess" said musa eating yogurt. "you're getting married with person who want to kill sky, sky want to kill neil and you want to kill yourself."
"Exactly" bloom replied And all of them laughed. "What the hell am supposed to do now... sky promised me to abduct me from my wedding, it would turn out to be disaster"
"Don't worry about sky, Neil would never kill him" said tecna "by doing that he would lost his leverage"
Tecna made sense but bloom knew how messed up this all can be. She showered and wet to see neil when his car arrived.
Neil hugged her like he met her after a year.
"Hey Neil." She said with little hesitation as she found it strange. He hardly touches her in public.
"I need to talk to you" said Neil. "and I want you to be honest."
This made her heart jumped.
"What is it?" she asked in low voice looking at him.
"Have you ever betray me?" Neil asked. "Like things you should have told me as your boyfriend but you didn't?, I know we were not as any other couple... am just asking, have you ever cheat me In any way."
Neil's question made her remembered like half of her life in single second, her every secret meeting with sky , last week when she was about to have sex with him, her plan to find cure and defeat Neil , sky's promise to not let the wedding happen.
"No" she answered. "I never betray you."
Neil hugged her again. "I know.. sorry to ask you that.." he touched her face " come on... I have something to show you" he said and hold her hand and took her into the palace.
Walking behind him bloom was saref as hell 'what's going on in his mind, its unlike him, why would he asked that, does he know about out plans in library, what does he wants to show me.. please God please don't let it be dead body of Timmy or any of my friend".
Bloom gulped and looked into the round big hall he took her to. It was filled with white wedding dresses, jewellery, shining heels. This room was blinding her eyes. She didn't know how to respond.
"Neil... what . Is..."
"You requested a small celebration but at least you should look like you have always dreamed to be looked at your wedding."
His words were making bloom guilty and it was a lot to take.. why does he love her so much when she couldn't love him back.
"you didn't need to do all this." Said bloom.
Neil smiled a little. He looked at her like he was about to getting his world.
"Call your friends here if you want to help choose, you will not leave palace now till wedding"
She was expecting this from him off course. He couldn't be less of Neil at this time.
Bloom told girls everything, but there was no chance she could contract Sky. Only two days to wedding and Bloom was getting worried and worry every hour passed.
Finally the day is here. Bloom woke up with headache, last two days have been disaster. She couldn't distract her mind from Sky , hundreds of possibilities of what could happen today and still have to keep a smiling face. She got out of bed and looked out side the window... there was no sun.. just black clouds all over the palace 'what with weather... there is gonna be very few guest.' and black dressed soldiers with machine guns around it.
Bloom had a very clear idea why Neil did all this, but it wasn't soldiers or guns she was worried about.. Bloom took her phone to call her friends to ask them to come early but there was no signal.. maybe because of weather.
She had breakfast, Time kept passing and there was still none of the girl were there... 'this is not good... why they haven't come yet, I needed them I can't face all this alone, maybe roads are blocked in city,'.
She got panic thinking about the possibility of Neil having something to do with it and her door knocked up.
She opened it and there were servants girls with her wedding dress packed up. They came in and carefully placed the dress on bed.
"Hello mam, we will help you to get ready for aisle"
"no thanks.. I will manage that... have you seen Neil download there?" bloom asked.
"Yes, he is making sure everything is perfect"
"tell him I want Stella and girls to come early"
"Sorry mam but all the guests would arrive at 8pm"
"What?" bloom freaked out. " they are not guests, they are my friends, and wedding time was 7pm" saying this Bloom knew something was off. "do you have mobile phone... any of you?" she asked but already knew the answer.
"No mam"
"Leave" bloom ordered and they all left.. but now she was scared.
She tried to telepath with flora but these dark clouds were hindering her. She saw a note on packed dress. "Be most beautiful bride this world ever seen... Neil"
Reading this changed her mind... is she overreacting? Because he sounds normal.
She decided to calm her mind and took a shower.
She pur on her white dress which was not heavy umbrella frilled. It was straight with lower fish cut, revealing her belly from transparent shiny fabric and had thin strips over shoulder, more like an evening gown. Gave her face a very little touch up of blush, and her lips were little more pink than usual. She stepped into bellies, left her hair open and saw herself in mirror.
She walked closer and sat in front of it, keep looking herself or her miserable condition but her eyes had tears in them.
'oh my god... its actually happening, my wedding and it is nothing like I dream of. None of my friends, my parents, even not the person am marrying..." her heart broke into million peace when she thought of sky.
A heard a strong thunderstorm and lights were gone. Now she couldn't even see herself but this couldn't pull her out of her mind.
'What an irony that for last 48 hours I have been praying that sky wouldn't showed up, and now when time has come... am dying to see him." She clenched her fist so tight that her nails drugged into the skin of her palm and was sobbing. 'There will be no hope of me and sky together after today, I didn't even tell him that I love him when we met last time. Sky am sorry,"
*Lighting struck*
She closed her eyes and tears keep shedding. 'you said you would come, am dying to see you, why would you lie to me"
She was practically scattering sitting in that stool and then she heard her door opened without knock. She stopped and looked a shadow in mirror. She felt joy and ache at same time. But it wasn't time for her to be smart.
"Am sorry sky" she spoke. "am sorry that I haven't told you all of this when i should which was a long ago, but it's not too late to tell you that I love you and I love only you and would never be able to love someone else" she told him and kept crying.
"But please don't do anything that would make me regret telling you whole my life, Neil couldn't know what happened between us in this room... am sorry sky, but am doing this just because I can't see you in pain."
She was sobbing and a strong wind opened up window of her room follow by a thunderstorm with lightning and all the blood from bloom's face drawn.
She stopped sobbing, lightning keep sticking and she kept looking into mirror. Her heart sank into her stomach when she looked at Neil's face standing behind her whole this time... not sky.
She stood up and slowly turned to face him and Led Light glow up the room again.
She was scared as hell.
She saw white roses in his hand from which blood was dripping as thrones pierced.
"Neil" she whispered. Seeing his red eyes and nerve at his temple could be seen pumping like he was about to explode.
She moved toward him "Neil listen to-"
"Don't you dare." Neil grabbed her hair in his fist. "you have any idea how much I trusted you, how much I loved you." He pulled her hair with one hand and grabbed her face with another.
"Neil you are hurting me." Bloom cried in pain.
" you don't even know how that feels." He shouted at her face and pushed her towards the door.
Grabbed her upper arm and make her move with him.
"Neil let me explain atleast" Bloom requested crying.
"do you know how it feel when person you love stabbed you with glass for no reason and then left you for dying on road?" He shouted while moving through the corridor and then they heard a blast.
Bloom was even more scared but neil start pulling her again. Her heal slipped on stairs and her feet got sprained but neil kept pulling her recklessly untill they reached in basement which was an open space with screen keyboards.
He pushed her on floor and start doing something on one of his computers and there was another blast.
"Neil wait.. what you doing" Bloom pleaded as she knew what was he doing.
And there start back counting on screen for 5 minutes. In 5 minutes that virus will be activated.
Bloom's mind got blanked and neil grabbed her hair again and made her stand and took out a metal case with 4 already filled syringe in it.
"What you doing?" bloom cried. "neil please don't do that, I will do whatever you will say but please stop this." She tried to convince him but she knew there is no use and then started a ears tearing voice of machine guns just outside the hall.
"Enough of that bullshit bloom," neil shouted again. " you know what, I should have done this long time ago. I will kill you with Sky and then turn you to be just like me... you don't deserve love.. you never did" he took the syringe near her neck she struggled but physically he was too strong.
He know her down on floor, bloom screamed but couldn't do anything with her hands tied in his . And then a bullet shot at his upper arm which made him threw the syringe away.
Bloom looked at his hand and turned to look at in directions of stairs.
"Sky." Bloom stood up seeing him machine gun in both of his hand.
Sky threw his guns moved to Neil , grabbed him, pulled him in air and buried his head in ground in just seconds.
Neil could even lift his head up , sky again grabbed his hair from back and smacked his head into glass keyboards desk, again and again and again.
"Sky stop." Bloom shouted but he didn't listen. "sky that virus will be activated in 2 minutes and only he knows how to stop this please leave him."
Neil was only half conscious at this time. " Neil." she desperately called. "Neil please stop this I swear on my child I won't leave you... I will never see Sky's face again but please stop this."
"Bloom stop pleaded him." Sky shouted.
Bloom kept trying to wake him up but he fell on ground.
" bloom listen to me... nothing is going to happen " said Sky and try to hacked into the system but she couldn't stop crying. With each second passed she felt like her whole world being taken away from him.
She saw only 56 seconds left and he calmed herself and closed her eyes and start glowing. Sky knew there is no way out of it with magic. He knew she was chaining her life which would kill her in place of sky. He moved away from computer.
"Bloom stop doing that am almost done-"
Bloom opened her eyes with gum shot.
Neil lying on floor shot sky in stomach.
She ran towards him and hugged him. Sky took his gun and shot Neil in head which would only made him unconscious for few hours.
'life without sky is not worth living, he is my life, this chance I have to take. Eeven if I fail, either we both die or just me, I wouldn't let anything happened to you because of me" Bloom thought and closed her eyes.
At same time count down ends.
Sky felt a keen pain through out his body but he thought Bloom was right as this pain was like tearing apart his body but he didn't scream. He kept looking at bloom but her eyes were closed and body started to glow yellow.
Sky felt girls just rushed in but with this pain he couldn't pay attention to anyother than bloom.
"Bloom" he called. "bloom what you doing, stop that." He shouted.
"She is doing dark magic" said flora.
"She can't do that for you , she doesn't belong to your blood line, she would kill you both." Stella screamed.
Glow from her body straight to turn red from yellow and now even sky couldn't keep his eyes open.
"Bloom,.. sky...sky wake up... bloom".
Bloom could feel her name all around her. Like someone is calling her from different dimensions. 'I don't Know how it would turn out, I started to feel this agony of your body... I couldn't let you die because of me sky... I never wants to open my eyes again... because if I ever saw this world again.. it would be a world without you..."
White roof... bright light hurting eye... blurred monitors showing my vitals... Dark green curtains. "where am I?" bloom whispered.
The end.
