Chapter 3

Bloom would blink hearing the slight horror in Skye's voice. "What? What's wrong Skye?"

Skye pulled Bloom to the side of the hallway hoping Alan hadn't seen him. A slight bead of sweat leaked down his temple. "Oh sorry Bloom it's just. That is Alan Chambers."

Bloom tilted her head confused by this, was she supposed to know that name. "So?"

Skye swallowed hard, "Look um. Bloom he is the bodyguard for Princess Diespa."

That name struck a chord in Bloom's heart. That girl that Skye was promised to, that guy was her bodyguard? "Wait wait, I don't understand so what if he is her bodyguard."

Skye shook his head, "If he is here, she is here somewhere."

Bloom's eyes cut to half moons, "So what, you two aren't getting together so why do you care." Hands now sliding to her hips as if expecting him to say the right thing here.

Skye rubbed his temple, "Um yeah.. Sorry Bloom your right."

Alan however would smile to Layla, cutting his eyes to the side was that Prince Skye? Alan gently bowing his head to Layla, "One minute if you please."

Layla blinked a little confused, "What is it, Alan?" Watching as he moved down the hallway.

Alan stopped now seeing Skye standing with a girl he didn't know. A soft lower to his knee head bowed. "Prince Skye I thought that was you. I am honored to be in your presence."

Skye froze in fear hearing Alan's voice looking toward the now bowed head of Alan. "Oh yeah Alan it's been a long time. How have you been. Don't worry about bowing this isn't the palace."

Alan would rise from his knelt position hearing Skye's words. " I believe its been a little over a year, with that incident last year I was unsure if I would see you again." Eyes cutting to Bloom, "Wait she was the girl who."

Skye quickly cut Alan off, "Yeah, yeah this is Bloom my girlfriend. Bloom this is Alan Chambers a friend of mine." Softly escorting Bloom over to offer a hello.

Bloom quirked a brow confused listening to what Alan said down to the part about the girl who. Being pushed a little by Skye hearing him introduce her. "Oh hi there. I'm Bloom nice to meet you. So your a friend of Skye's how so?"

Layla would step around the corner looking to Skye, Alan, and then Bloom. "What's going on here guys?"

Alan was about to speak up looking to Layla as she spoke up. "Oh I am sorry I just saw Prince Skye here and I had to see how he was doing. I am the bodyguard for his former promised love. Diespa would have my head if I saw him and didn't say hello."

Bloom groaned again hearing Alan speak about Diespa, Skye was so in for it later. Especially since he didn't speak up.

Layla blinked, "Wait Diespa is that girl who. Ohh..." Layla now realized what was going on looking to Skye and then the slightly irate Bloom. "Well um thanks for bringing Piff back. I will um see you later then Alan." With that said Layla would run back to the room.

Skye would quickly speak up seeing that Bloom was becoming more upset. "Look Alan it's nice to see you again, but why are you here and not with Diespa?"

Alan looked toward Skye and then Bloom bowing his head gently. "I apologize for my late hello. It's a pleasure to meet you Bloom." Stopping after his greeting to her, Skye asking him another question. "Diespa is currently attending classes at Cloud Tower, therefor I am attending Red Fountain."

Bloom smiled to Alan with his greeting. Before hearing Alan say Diespa was at Cloud Tower. "Yeah she would make a good witch."

Skye blinked and tried to stop Bloom before she said anything more. "Bloom." Trying to stop her, however that was to late.

Alan's eyes slanted carefully, " What does that mean." His tone lingered a little lower, he took offense to people who spoke bad about Diespa. Even if Bloom did not know about that simple truth.

Bloom stared at Alan carefully, "You heard what I said." She didn't like the threatening tone he had taken with her.

Skye would quickly slide in between the two. "Now now guys, I am sure Diespa is doing fine in her classes and will be a good witch. Bloom come on now, lets not fight."

Bloom cut a less than pleased eyes at Skye watching him defend Diespa. "Yeah whatever Skye, I will see you later." Those words ending the conversation as she stormed down the hallway to the dorm.

Alan watched Bloom carefully, hearing Skye attempt to defend Diespa. "She seems nice." A sarcastic tone lingered in his voice, pushing past Skye.

Skye groaned oh god he was in trouble. Watching as she stormed off, only for Alan to take a shot at her. "Hey now don't talk about her like that. You are still a servant to my family."

Alan growled lowly hearing Skye pull that card on him. Bowing his head as he walked away. "I am sorry my Prince I will try and refraim from speaking the truth in your presence!" Alan now leaving the dorm passing Griselda on his way out.

Griselda blinked looking at Skye standing in the hall alone. The old prune of a lady pushed her glasses on her nose. "Why are you standing here. Shouldn't you be at Red Fountain. I will report you if you don't find somewhere to be other than lurking in my hallways."

Skye froze watching as Alan departed in less than a peaceful action. Only to be busted by that mean old Griselda. Getting her stabs at him as well, "Oh I. Umm I am going!" Skye quickly fleeing the hallway out the doors of the dorm.

Bloom would storm into the entrance into her dorm. "Ooo that guy!" Her voice was less than pleasant.

Musa nearly fell out of her chair looking over to Bloom. "Woah girl whats wrong?"

"Yeah Bloom, you look mad enough to make those witches run the other way." Stella shaking her head looking toward Bloom.

Bloom groaned, "I can't believe Skye! He didn't even defend me! Took that guys side!"

Stella shook her head, "Woah girl what guy? What happened?"

Bloom growled, "That guy Alan Chambers. He was going to let him insult me and not do anything about it. I can't believe that!

"You mean that Alan guy who brought Piff back?" Musa leaning back in her chair a little.

Layla stepped into the room, having heard Alan's name. "What's going on?"

Bloom nodded, "Yeah that guy! I don't care if he is Diespa's bodyguard. He isn't going to treat me like dirt. I am a princess of Sparx."

"That doesn't sound like Alan Bloom." Layla speaking her mind.

Bloom groaned, "Yeah well you weren't there Layla. Wait. Hold on."

Layla blinked at Bloom snapping at her, "Well whatever Bloom. I am going out." Piff resting on her shoulder now as the two of them departed.

Stella speaking to Bloom, "Wow that was harsh."

Musa nodded, "Yeah girl. We know you were upset but you can't go around taking it out on all of us."

Bloom sighed, "I know, I didn't mean to. I will apologize when Layla comes back. It's just he frustrated me, you would have been the same if Brandon had done that right Stella?"

Stella sort of grinned, "I wouldn't have to. My sugar bear would never have done something so stupid."

Musa rolled her eyes a little leaning on her hands. "Yeah lucky you Stella." Joking a little with Stella.
