Breathless
After leaving the hospital, Paris went straight home to the mansion. Chel was outside in the courtyard and ran towards him and into his arms.
''I was so worried. What happened?'' She asked before crashing into a long passionate kiss with her husband.
''I'll tell you everything, but I need some time to progress everything.'' He said as they broke apart. He sighed sadly and ran a hand through his dark brown hair.
''Did you hear about Jack?'' He asked and she nodded sadly.
''I'm just going to make a few phone-calls then I want to go by and check up on Amazonia.'' He said as he took her hand in his and they started to walk up to the entrance.
''What about Nick? Do you think he will attempt to get away?'' She asked. Paris shook his head.
''He wouldn't be able to even if he wasn't so wounded at the moment. He's guarded twenty-four/seven.'' He replied her.
Like two thief's in the dark, Breanna and Fiona sneaked around the hospital trying to avoid being seem by Paris or anyone else for that matter. What good explanation could they possibly have to be here. No one is even suppose to find out about Jack and Breanna.
''Are you sure that nobody is in there with him?'' Breanna asked her friend.
''I'm sure!'' Fiona snapped.
''You saw Paris leave, Chel Is at the mansion, Musa, Riven, Amazonia, Tulio and even Zandra is at the palace.'' She added.
''There it is, that's his room number.'' Breanna exclaimed and pointed towards the door leading into Jack's hospital room.
''I'll wait out here for you, keep them distracted it someone should show up.'' Fiona winked at Breanna and gave her a thumbs up. Breanna rolled her eyes and went inside to Jack.
Amazonia and Zandra entered the trophy-room. Zandra walked in first and went over to the windows and looked down into the courtyard. Amazonia closed the door behind them and took a seat into one of the couches.
''I understand that you have come here to speak on behalf of your brother.'' She asked as she stoke her pregnant belly softly. Zandra turned around and nodded slightly. Amazonia tilted her head slightly to her side and sighed.
''It's not going to make any difference.'' She added. Zandra walked closer towards her and stopped about a metre away.
''My brother have done terrible things, and in my head I can totally understand why you want to lock him up and throw away the key.'' She began.
''In my head, I have a hard time defending him. But in my heart, he's just my brother. He's the person who has always been there for me, building me up and supporting me during my time of need, no matter what. So what kind of sister would I be if I didn't do the same for him.'' She added.
''I see that you love him, and that he's very dear to you. But it's not going to change what I'm going to do, and it certain won't change Paris's mind.'' Amazonia said and sat down into one of the couches. Zandra sighed and sat down into the other one opposite Amazonia.
''You see, I just thought that you might understand what it's like to grow up in a home that is less than ideal.'' Zandra said and leaned foreword slightly. Amazonia gasped slightly and glared at Zandra.
''Doesn't that sound familiar? For what I understand, your childhood was no picnic either.'' Zandra added.
''This isn't about my childhood, it's about my unborn child.'' Amazonia hissed.
''But you what it's like to grow up angry don't you? I'm not trying to excuse him. I just want to help Nick deal with the issues that is troubling him, and I believe that sending him back to jail isn't going to do that.'' Zandra sighed sadly, before breaking out into a warm smile.
''Nick used to be the sweetest guy I have ever known, and he wouldn't harm a fly. But something happened to him and I need to find out what it is to be able to help him.'' She added. Amazonia had to admit that whatever Nick had done, she didn't doubt for a second that Zandra knew a totally different Nick then the rest of them.
''Then what do you suppose we do instead?'' Amazonia sighed and frowned her eyebrows. Zandra got back up onto her feet and walked over and kneeled down next down to Amazonia.
''Let me take him with me. I'll make sure that he stays at the ranch and I can get through to him. I know I can, it will just take some time.'' Zandra said with a hint of hope in her voice.
''Over my dead body!'' A hiss could be heard and they turned around to see Paris standing in the doorway. Zandra sighed and stood back up,
''The only place he's going, is to the Omega Dimension.'' Paris added as he walked inside the room.
''You love your brother, and I understand that. But I need to put my family first. I'm really sorry.'' She said before leaving the room. Zandra and Paris just stood there and glared at each other.
Fiona sat outside into the waiting-area outside Jack's room. She read into one of the magazines, but soon she threw it back down at the table and sighed loudly.
She stood up and went down to the cafeteria to get something to eat, but at the bottom of the stairs she stepped wrong and twisted her ankle. She sat down at the bottom step and cursed quietly.
''Are you alright?'' She heard a voice approaching her.
''I don't know, it hurts.'' She said and looked up and saw a familiar face. It was that doctor she had run into the last time she was at the hospital when Chel had her accident. They looked at each other for a second.
''It's you. The coffee girl.'' He smiled down at her. Fiona laughed. He leaned down and took a look at her foot.
''It's nothing to serious, but it might be slightly painful. It will be swollen for a couple of days and you shouldn't lean on it too much.'' He said and smiled up at her.
''But I think that you should come with me so that I can wrap it for you.'' He said. Fiona smiled and nodded her head.
''Okay.'' She said and he helped her up at her feet and placed her arm around his shoulder and help supporting her. She didn't have to limp very far until they entered a small room with a bunk, cabinet with all kinds of different bandages and other equipment.
Fiona sat onto the bunk while the doctor started to wrap her foot and calf with a bandage. They small talked for a few minutes .
''There you go.'' He said with a smile as finished. Fiona looked down and studied his work and nodded in approval.
''Thank you.'' Fiona said and took up her sandal and put it back at her foot.
''I just realized, we have meet twice and I still don't know your name.'' He said will a smile. Fiona looked up and him and smiled as she slowly stood up.
''Fiona, you?'' She asked and reached her hand out for him to shake, which he did.
''Declan.'' He replied. They smiled at each other for a few seconds before Declan spoke again.
''You know, I think I got an idea on how I can make it up to you for spilling coffee all over you.'' He asked with a smile. Fiona smiled back and frowned her eyebrows.
''What?'' She asked.
''You let me buy you a new one. How about this weekend?'' He asked. Fiona's smile grew wider and she nodded her head.
''I'd love to.'' She replied him and took a pen from his cheast pocket and took his hand and wrote down her number.
''Call me.'' She said.
If he didn't work-out, train or help Zandra with work, Oliver spend most of his free time withDawn, the girl he saved from a couple of robbers a few weeks ago. It was clear that while Dawn not long ago earned a new transformation, but she couldn't figure out which one. She had never seen anything like it before.
Oliver could only think of one thing to do so he wished for an audience with Topaz and now he stood together with Dawn into the throne-room at the palace.
Dawn had transformed into a fairy and Topaz circulated around her, watching her carefully.
''Dawn, can you please tell me what you remembered from that moment?'' Topaz asked kindly as she smiled over at the young girl. Dawn nodded her head and sighed sadly.
''Well, it was this witch that's been after my family for quite some time. My parents died a few years back, but I still had my little sister Nova.'' Dawn said sadly as a tear feel from her eye.
''But I was to late to save her, and before I knew it was like I was forcing the witch powers out of her. Like I was taking them over.'' Dawn said, still unsure if that really was what happened. Topaz nodded.
''I very sorry for your loss.'' Topaz began, earning a friendly nod back from Dawn.
''But may I ask what this witch's power was?'' Topaz asked again.
''The same as mine your highness. She was the witch of night.'' Dawn replied her and frowned her eyebrows slightly. Topaz smiled again.
''Well, from what I can say I'd say that you've earned your powerix my dear.'' Topaz said. Oliver and Dawn exchanged looks, both just as confused. Powerix?
''It's not very common and not everybody knows about it. There is only one person I know that earned hers before and only she can answer all you questions.'' Topaz said again.
''I think it's time to bring Mista back home for a visit.'' The queen added with a wide smile.
Fiona limped back up to the waiting-area outside Jack's room, and saw Breanna sitting down. When she saw Fiona limping, she hurried over to her concerned.
''What happened to you? I've tried calling you, but your phone is off.'' She said and looked down at her wrapped foot.
''I'm fine, I just twisted my ankle.'' Fiona giggled nervously and looked down onto her slightly swollen foot before looking back up.
''How was he?'' She asked with a more serious tone into her voice.
''He's embarrassed. He wouldn't let me see it, he barely looked at him.'' Breanna sighed sadly. Fiona did the same and wrapped her arm around her best friends shoulders.
''He'll be fine. It'll take some time, but he will get used to it, and then he'll adjust.'' She began as they started to walk out, more like Breanna supported Fiona.
''Don't worry! Just give it some time, then he'll be back to his old self.'' She added and planted a kiss onto Breanna's head. Breanna's frown turned into a weak smile as they continued outside.
Paris barged in onto his study back at the mansion, with Zandra close behind him.
''I can get through to him! I just have to figure out why he have this obsession with getting revenge on you, then I can…'' Zandra rambled on as she closed the door behind her.
''I know why he hates me.'' Paris sighed as he sat down behind his desk. Zandra went quite and looked at him surprised. Paris sighed again and rested his face into his palms for a second.
''It's all about that thing. He hinted, more or less tell me in that shed.'' He whispered and looked away, like he didn't want to look at her while he said it. Zandra sighed and stroke her hair.
''But that was years ago, and we got over it.'' She said and sat down opposite him. Paris still didn't look at her.
''Well, he haven't.'' He sighed and looked down onto his lap. Zandra sighed and they sat quite for a few seconds.
''Okay then we just have to sit down and talk through it, make him understand that it's all in the past.'' Zandra rambled, but she was soon interrupted.
''Zandra.'' Paris cut her off with a loud sigh.
''No! Just let me try. Let him come live with me and I promise that he won't go anywhere around you, Amazonia or anyone else.'' Zandra said.
''Paris, please.'' She begged, but he didn't even look at her. He's all I have left. If you send him to the Omega Dimension, I might never see him again. He's my brother, I need him.'' She exclaimed and Paris carefully looked at her.
''You're always so quick to be everyone else's hero. First Chel, now Amazonia's.'' She said on the verge of tears. Paris looked at her with a sad and somewhat hurt expression. Not that he was hurt by her words, but by that it was him who had caused her the pain.
''What is it about me that makes you think that I don't need your help?'' She added.
''Okay I tough, but sometimes I'm pretending!'' Zandra cried as she clutched hard onto Paris's jacket. Paris sighed and cupped her cheeks before embracing her. She cried hard, almost soaking his jacket.
''I'm sorry.'' He whispered before parting and walked out. Zandra gasped for air before sinking down into the chair nearby as she cried harder.
Looks like Fiona got herself a date, with a doctor no less. What do you guys think of that?
And what about Mista returning to Eldorado after that one time thing she had with Riven and almost destroying both of their marriages? Could she really help Dawn?
And what about Zandra? What will happen now when Paris once again have barged in totally left her whole world to collapse. Could this be the beginning to a long term feud? And what is it that happened between all of them?
Next time, Fiona goes onto her date with Declan, Mista and Yatz once again returns to Eldorado and Nick is brought to the Omega Dimension.
