Four Days Later
"Layla's still out?" sighed Bloom walking into Ofelia's office
"Ya, she hasn't moved at all" sighed Flora
"What about Musa?" asked Stella walking in
"She won't talk to anyone, not even Riven. She just keeps repeating the same thing to herself 'it's my entire fault, it's my entire fault.' Girls I'm really worried about her." Sighed Flora looking out the window
"So? Where is she?" asked Stella sitting down on a bed
"Riven took her on a walk with him, but I don't think she even knows she's outside right now." Sighed Flora with tears in her eyes
"I wonder why she thinks it's her fault?" sighed Bloom
"Maybe Layla told her something." Sighed Tecna walking in with some papers
"But what, I don't know." She sighed
"Do you know what happened to Layla Tec?" asked Bloom
"It appears she went back to her realm around the time we we're taken, but she soon left telling her parents she was going to stay with one of us." Sighed Tecna looking threw the papers
"Why would she do that? Layla's never been one for lying!" cried Stella
"Yes, I know. That's the weird thing" sighed Tecna
Outside of Alfea
Musa and Riven were walking around the school in silence while Riven held her hand softly
"I can't take this anymore; I'm going to get her to talk to me." He thought as he looked down at her sad face looking at the ground
"Musa…Musa what's wrong?" he whispered as she continued to look at the ground like he wasn't there
"Musa you can tell me, heck you can tell me anything. Musa I'm here for you and I always will." He smiled as he gently kissed her cheek
As he was pulling back he saw a little tear fall from her eye
"Musa?" he whispered worriedly
"Riven it's my fault, everything from the girls and me being taken and those guys coming here"
"Musa its okay, it's not your"
"Yes it is, they want me!" she cried as she turned to him with her eyes filled with tears
"Who told you that?" He growled softly as he embraced her tightly
"Layla." She whispered as she cried into his chest
"So, that's why you were soo freaked." He sighed rubbing her back
"Riven, you got hurt because of"
"Musa I'm training to be a hero, I'm going to get hurt." He smiled as he looked into her deep blue eyes
"Oh Riven! Promise me you won't ever leave me" she cried holding him tighter
"I guess you forgot, I already did and there's no chance in me backing out of my promise to you." He smiled as he kissed her head
