An: Another chapter of this as Bloom finds out and try's to prevent Death…
"So you're going out with Sky tonight," Jade said from Bloom's room. She was manipulating her magic to allow hang upside down as she watched Bloom applying some make up.
"Yeah me and Stella are both going out tonight," Bloom said putting the eyeliner down.
"Same place?" Jade asked her arms folded.
"Yeah of course. So how do I look?" Bloom said standing up as Jade looked her up and down.
"Like your mother dressed you, come on Bloom show a little more skin," she said with a grin, as she pointed her finger at Bloom muttering a few spell words as Bloom's one piece transformed into a dress worthy of walking down the red carpet at the Academy awards.
"How did you…?" Bloom said bewildered.
"Magic, simple little spell," Jade said letting the flow of magic that she was directing to her feet stop causing her to fall. Jade gracefully did a back flip in the air and landed on her feet.
"Dani still making you train?" Bloom said with a slight smile.
"She's a slave driver," Jade said falling on Bloom's bed.
"Don't you have a date tonight?" Bloom asked suddenly as she began to do her hair.
"Probably, Makoto was talking to me earlier if I was paying attention then I'd know," Jade shrugged her shoulders.
"Please you know he's the one," Bloom said glancing at her.
"Probably… but people who get to close to me usually have the odd habit of dying…" Jade said.
"Is he after Makoto?" Bloom said suddenly.
"No but it is someone that you care deeply about," Jade said staring Bloom in the eye.
"You know don't you… how bad is it going to be emotionally wise anyway?"
Jade glanced away as she thought of the answer, "I've lost my real dad and mom, I've lost Remy… I've lost Yusuke… and arguably Jem. My dad died in my arms, as did Jem… I couldn't save Remy or Yusuke and Bloom it hurt more than words could describe it… they were my family even if I couldn't remember them. Remy was like an older brother protective to the point where I had to have him beaten up just to let me enjoy my life. Yusuke and me were closer he's saved my life numerous times and when it was time I couldn't do it for him. Jem… I loved Jem at the time when he died but I never told him until he died. My dad's last words were 'Be strong and remember Jade my darling the blood of Shiran warriors past and present flows through your veins, but always let your heart guide your hand' I really don't know how my mom died but still it doesn't take away the fact that I couldn't help them… that maybe if I was earlier… faster… stronger… or even smarter then they might still be alive, and I might have a regular life… I wouldn't have to fight for my life every other month and I didn't have to train every single day. But what hurts the most is that I wouldn't be able to spend more time with them… I won't get to ever know my dad or my mom… that I won't ever see them… minus Jem of course again."
Bloom was speechless, the slightly cocky and rude teenager had just bared a bit of her soul to her, "I… I didn't…"
"It's okay Bloom… that's why I keep on training so nobody I truly care about will die if it can be helped," Jade grinned at Bloom, "So you go and have fun on your date… oh and tell Sky that you love him Bloom… cause you never know when it could be his last day."
"So it is him… when did you plan on telling me?"
"I didn't plan on telling you… because I didn't want you doing something stupid…"
"Like trying to stop the angel of death…"
"That would qualify as something stupid. Bloom he can't be stopped, if he could Bloom do you know how many people would still be alive… he always finds his mark so please don't try and piss him of… the last thing we need is more deaths," Jade sighed pinching the bridge of her nose.
"A spell should hide him from the eyes of the angel of death," Bloom said mostly to herself as she pulled out a spell book.
"He never misses his mark Bloom, a spell will only slow him down for like a minute and piss him off."
"In that time I could find a better way to stop him," Bloom snapped at Jade, "So if you aren't going to help me then you're against me,"
"That's a false dilemma Bloom… and normally I'd be all for trying to save Sky's life but this time it is out of my hands, and remember Bloom you me and Aly have charmed lives… that doesn't mean that everyone else does," Jade said shaking her as she headed out the door. The last words that she heard Bloom say was the beginning of her spell.
"Now you see him, now you don't hide Prince Sky from the angel of death's wandering eyes," Bloom finished. Nothing happened… nothing at all, "Well that was a slight disappointment," Bloom sighed as she heard the doorbell ring.
Jade who was already headed out answered the door and raised an eyebrow, "Which one of you guys is Brandon?" Jade asked the two Sky's standing in front of her.
"What did you smash your head again I'm over here Jade," the Sky on the left said.
"Yeah I definitely bumped my head," Jade said with a slight shake of her head. She was slightly disgusted at Bloom, as she waved her hand over the left Sky who turned into Brandon. "Well see you guys around… I've got a bit of research to do," Jade said brushing by them.
"Hey what about your date with Makoto," Sky said.
"More pressing matters have appeared," Jade said as she slid into her car.
The two boys shrugged and waited patiently for their respective girl friends.
"So are you sure about this? I mean you're just 20 you have the rest of your life ahead of you," Brandon said.
"Yeah I just know that she's the one and with every year something big happens and some one dies or nearly dies I think it's best if I get this out of the way now, just to let Bloom know I love her," Sky said.
"Well if you're sure about this then who am I to stop you, good luck bro," Brandon said as he hugged Stella.
Sky glanced up at the stair way his heart racing as he stared up at Bloom. Jade's magic making Bloom more radiant. "Wow Bloom you look amazing… I mean you always look amazing but… wow…" Sky stopped babbling as Bloom gently put her lips on his.
Brandon shook his head, "Come on we have a tables at the fanciest restaurant in Magix and they won't hold our tables forever." Brandon said leading the girls to a limo that the boys had parked outside.
Jade burst through the doors of the BOBS, "Dani we need to do some research, Sky…" Jade eyes narrowed as she stared into the eyes of the angel of death's eyes.
"There is no way you can stop…"
"Shut up," Jade snarled brushing past him, "Besides you should be more worried about Bloom," Jade said as Koby who looked exactly like Sky brush past her.
"That won't stop me," the angel snarled at her.
"Well it will help," Jade pointed out, the angel growled at her before disappearing.
"Why do we need to do some research?" Dani said entering the room, "Don't you have a date tonight?"
"The angel of Death… he's got his eyes set on Sky… so I strongly believe a date can wait…"
"What then why are you seeing him… the Angel of death would never…"
"Yeah I know that part's got me confused to… why would I see him… it's almost as if it isn't an accident… oh shit… Dani… I've got to go after them tell Makoto I'm sorry," Jade said running out again.
Bloom was enjoying the ride with Sky who had his arm's around her protectively as she enjoyed the ride… dinner had been great… the thought that had been put in the making the night perfect astounded Bloom.
"Bloom… I wanted… to ask you something…" Sky said suddenly.
"Yeah sure what is it Sky?"
"She has to take a rain check on your date, Makoto," Ivy told Makoto, whose face which usually contained a smile on it frowned slightly, "Oh come on Jade needed to save someone life… you have to give her a break… she really wants to spend time with you," Ivy said.
"Then she would make time for me…" Makoto sighed, as he slipped on his jacket, "I'm going for a walk," Makoto said leaving the club he was hanging at, "Don't wait up."
Ivy groaned, "Jade had better get her butt in gear I don't know how much Makoto can wait," she said disappearing.
All this was happening at the same time, just as a very drunk driver stepped into his car switching on the engine as he drove out.
Makoto stopped walking as he saw a girl walking down the sidewalk by himself. "Hey do you mind if I walk with you, my date sorta stood me up again," he said turning up his charm.
"Yeah sure," the girl said noting how good Makoto looked. With his 5 o'clock shadow and his shaggy black hair.
"My name is Makoto by the way," he said offering her his hand, which she shook enthusiastically.
"Crystal Powell, I'm an elf," Crystal said with a smile.
"I'm… was a fighter… but then I got into a fight with a stronger guy and that caused me to tear a few of my ligaments… and according to Ivy…my friend… I got bone fragments in my spine… and my girlfriend who has the power to heal me won't because she prefers it if I don't fight," Makoto sighed.
"Wow… my ex-boyfriend tried to control me… I had to dump him," Crystal said.
"That was a good idea, I mean I can't wait forever can I?" Makoto said.
"No you can't… I mean you're still young… you're like what 23," Crystal guessed a smile on her face.
"No," Makoto laughed, "I'm only 22, but you were close," Makoto said with a grin.
" I… want to know… if you'll marry me," Sky said, producing a ring from his pocket.
Again that night Bloom was speechless… in fact so was Stella who stared at the ring, "Oh my God… Sky… I… yes… I will," Bloom sputtered out.
"Hey Stella… I know I'm not the hero that I promised that I would some day become, but I got you this," Brandon said as he to produced a ring from his jacket.
"Oh my god Brandon it's so beautiful," Stella gushed at the golden band with five gems on it.
"Shit I've got to find them… I can't believe I was so stupid… he was giving me clues a mile long… why didn't I spot them…" Jade growled scolding herself, as she was flying above Magix looking for the limo that she had seen parked outside the Winx club's dorm. "The angel of death may only have targeted Sky… but he will take as many people as he can, meaning Brandon and possibly Stella… I told the fool not to try and mess with the angel of death but does she ever listen to me…" Jade ranted to herself as she completely missed the drunk driver that was directly below her… and the fact that Makoto was still chatting it up with Crystal, and who could forget the limo which was just moving through green light.
The drunk driver skipped past the red light, accelerating towards the back of the limo.
Makoto and Crystal were laughing as they stopped at the corner waiting to cross the intersection.
Sky turned to give Brandon an encouraging smile… but the smile fell from his face as he saw him, his eyes now glowing a demonic yellow as he stared at Sky with a small evil smile on his face. Sky turned his head nearly screaming as the black car was set on a collision course with their part of the limo.
Jade's head snapped up as her body finally picked up on the danger below… Jade glanced down and cursed as she looked on in horror.
Makoto and Crystal who were no longer paying attention and began walking across the street.
To Jade everything was happening in slow motion, as the car containing the drunk driver smashed into the limo, the side that both Sky and Brandon had been on. Causing sharp pieces of metal to fly one particularly sharp piece found itself buried in Makoto's chest near the heart as he went down.
Jade's eyes widened as she began her descent to help her friends, "My work is nice don't you think… beautiful if I do say so my self," the angel of death said from behind her.
Jade glanced at him, her face was the most dangerous it ever been, her patented phoenix eyes which were glowing dangerously locked onto the Angel of Death's eyes, "I will kill you," she said her voice filled with venom.
"You can't kill death Jade remember that," the angel said as he disappeared.
Jade didn't hear the last part as she used her magic to pull the two cars apart, ripping of the doors to the limo as both Sky and Brandon fell to the ground limply, "Oh god," Jade said as she saw the state both men were in, glancing into the limo she saw that Stella and Bloom were unconscious but still breathing normally, quickly turning her head she saw that Makoto was being healed by an elf. Jade removed her fingerless gloves as she placed one hand on Sky and one on Brandon. Her fingers quickly became covered in blood, as she began to do a quick scan to see which boy needed her help more.
'Dani, get Ivy and the triplets there has been an accident, Sky and Brandon are going to die soon, and Makoto is down for the count though there is an elf healing him, but still get your asses down here.' Jade cut her connection with Dani before she had a chance to answer. 'Musa, get down here with the rest of the Winx Club there's been an accident… I'm in downtown Magix hurry.' Jade said as she began to focus on both Sky and Brandon, her hands glowing a golden yellow as she attempted to heal them.
