Pain Caused By Love Part II

Saturday, December 31: 3:00am-

Sweat. Tears. Pain. Agony. A Scream in the night.

Blossom awoke with a start from her couch. That was the scariest dream she had had since she left her family when she was 6. She needed to talk to Brick now. Lucky for her, Brick was awoke by the scream and rushed into her room.

"Bloss you ok," he asked worriedly.

"I'm fine. Just a nightmare," she responded.

"Wanna' talk about it?"

"Yes please."

"What was it about?"

"Well there was this woman. She looked in her 20's. She had blonde hair, blue eyes, and wore black. She had me trapped in some kind of mystic energy ball. Then you came in with your team, and she hit you with some kind of laser that made you powerless. She put some kind of force to block out everybody, but me. She grabbed you by your shirt and dangled you over a building. She said something about a choice and then dropped a gem. I charged for the gem and got it, but when I touched it she blasted you with a powerful energy beam and you fell over the edge of the building. Then she blasted me and I went backwards and was unable to save you. And then you hated me and rejected me a-a-and," she said as she broke down into tears.

"Wow. That's some dream."

"Yeah. No kidding. "

"It's just a dream. Dreams won't really happen. Go back to sleep. I promise I will always love you forever," he kissed her on the cheek and left.

"Yeah. He's right. It's just a dream," thought Blossom.

She closed her eyes and tried to go to sleep, but she couldn't. So, she got her shower and did her make-up andhair, and got dressed. She put on a light pink tank top that showed her midriff. She had a light pink jewel in her navel. Then, she put on a light pink pleated mini-skirt with light pink Crocs ((I don't own the Crocs company or any related elements.)) She went into her "Window Room" and sat on the sun bed that was by the big window. She looked out on the world. It was so big and- wait she felt chills come up her spine. Somebody was there with her in the room. She could feel that this somebody was not somebody she knew. The aurora that they surrounded them brought the feelings of pain, chaos, danger, rage, fury, anger, and hurt. She could feel the figure sneak up behind her.

"I know your there," she said and she turned around. She let out a gasp at what she saw. It was the woman in her dream," YOU! Who are you and what do you want?" she asked her eyes narrowing.

"My dearest child, I have been watching you for sometime now. I noticed you different powers. How they kept on getting stronger and stronger. You have dangerous powers. They pose a threat to my operation. You have two options:

1. Work with me, or 2.Die. What is your choice?"

"I suppose you want to rule the world?"

"How could you guess?"

"All villains dream of that," she snorted," Too bad it never happens… good will always triumph."

"Oh my sweet, naïve child, approach me with caution. You underestimate yourself."

"Whatever. All I know is that if you lay a hand on anybody I will kill you…no matter what."

"Such strong words from such a naïve child…It almost sounds like a threat?"

"It IS a threat."

"Take it back now."

"Bite me."

The woman's lips curved into an evil grin. She held out her hand. In it sparkled a red jewel. Blossom knew that jewel too well.

"The Jewel of Isis," whispered Blossom.

"Yes that is right, but do you know what it does?" asked the figure maliciously.

"It can destroy the hold world!"

"Yes my child. My name is Chaos, and causing Chaos is my game. If you want the jewel fight me."

Blossom lunged at Chaos. She dodged and sent out a blast so powerful that it knocked Blossom threw her window and into 5 skyscrapers. She skidded on the street. She was covered in blood. Enraged, she sent out energy bolts in every direction. When the smoke cleared, she saw Chaos just standing there.

"Is that the best you can do?" sneered Chaos.

Blossom launched her strongest blast, Obliteration Blast Bomb. When the haze, dust, and debris cleared, Chaos just stood there. She didn't have a scratch on her.

Chaos laughed," You've met your match child! You're going to have to train if you want to beat me…IF YOU CAN MAKE IT OUT ALIVE! HA HA HA!"

She sent a huge blast of energy at Blossom. It hit Blossom with impact. She shrieked a blood curdling shriek.

Back at the Utonium household…

Brick heard the shriek. He called for his team.

"Team, Blossom is in trouble. Let's go!" he yelled. He and his team blasted into the sky.

Back to Blossom…

Chaos launched a blast that engulfed Blossom in an energy bubble. Blossom's eyes widened…her dream was coming true.

"LikeI said you underestimate yourself," laughed Chaos.

She flew up to the top of the highest building in Townsville.

"Any second now and your little boyfriend will be here," she sneered.

Like she said, Brick and his team came flying to her rescue.

"Free the girl and nobody gets hurt," said Brick in a cold tone.

"Make me!" laughed Chaos.

She sent a blast at him. Brick cried out in pain. He dropped to the ground. Chaos put a wall of energy around them.

"What do you w-want," panted Brick. His body was sore all over. Steam came from his body.

Chaos grabbed him by the shirt," That's none of your business, lover boy," she sneered," Do you really think she loves you?"

"Of course," he responded coldly.

"Let's see," she said with a smirk.

Chaos released Blossom from the bubble.

"Leave him alone!" she shouted.

"I have a proposition for you. Either you get the Jewel of Isis, or your lover takes a trip down 100 floors!" she laughed," Let's see her choice!"

"I know Blossom will pick me…right Blossom? Blossom?" said Brick nervously.

"I am sorry Brick. I love you, but the Jewel of Isis is too powerful," said Blossom sadly," Give me the Jewel Chaos."

Brick's eyes widened. Blossom dashed for the Jewel of Isis and picked it up.

"Ta, Ta, lover boy. See what I said was true…she NEVER really loved you," said Chaos.

With that, Chaos blasted Brick with her most powerful blast and dropped him off the building.

"Brick! NOOO!" screamed Blossom and tears flew down her face.

She tried to save him, but Chaos blasted her into the forest.

She landed in the river, and quickly searched for a hiding place. She sensed that Chaos was coming for her. She found an underwater cave and hid in it.

Chaos flew into the river, and looked around. She saw nothing, shot a blast, and then came to the surface.

"I will be back Blossom Utonium of Earth…and next time you won't be so lucky," muttered Chaos.

Chaos then flew away.

Blossom was trapped in the cave. Chaos's blast had hit a rock that covered the entrance to the cave. She was losing her breath. She beat against the rock. Slowly, it shattered. Then she got up to the surface. She climbed onto the muddy bank before she blacked out.

Buttercup flew down to where Brick landed in horror. There was blood everywhere. The people of Townsville stood over his battered body. She heard many asking what was going on. She quick felt his pulse. There was a faint beat, but he wasn't breathing. She quickly gave him mouth to mouth before she picked him up. Tears streamed down her face.

"What happened," asked a citizen.

"Who did this," asked another.

"Blossom," whispered Buttercup.

"Who?" they asked.

"BLOSSOM!" she shouted.

With that she flew Brick back to the Professor followed by the others.

When Buttercup and the others arrived, the Professor quickly took Brick to his lab. He was barely able to save him. Buttercup cooked something for dinner, and the Professor took a break and they all sat down for dinner.

"How is he?" asked Buttercup.

"He will live, but there are some major side effects. Both his legs and arms are broken, so he will be in a wheel chair. His nerves are fried. He will have no sense of touch. He will be paralyzed from the waist down. The blast blinded him, destroyed his hearing, and busted his vocal chords. Thus, he will be blind, mute, and deaf as well. However, I have invented a machine that will read his brain activity and translate it into words, so he will be able to communicate with us. He has a pacemaker in his heart. Also, I made a hearing aid that will allow him to hear us. He will be on a respirator till his breathing is back to normal. If it weren't for his powers and that breath that you gave him, Brick would be dead," glumly responded the Professor.

"How long do you think it will take for him to recover?" asked Buttercup.

"He will be permanently paralyzed, blind, mute and feeling less. He will have the pacemaker for the rest of his life. It could take years for him to fully recover," he responded.

The girls were in tears and Brick's brothers were fighting back the tears. The rest of the dinner was in silence, until…

"Where is Blossom?" asked the Professor.

"WHO CARES!" they all yelled.

"I know you all are hurt that she did this, but try to be nice," said the Professor.

This statement shocked Buttercup. For once he was not on Blossom's side.

It was 3:00 am, but there was no sign of Blossom.

Blossom's eyes fluttered open. It was night. She had been out for quiet a while. She tried to fly, but she had no energy left, thus she couldn't use her powers. She would have to walk home. Her tank top was barely on her to cover her chest. Her skirt was torn in various places, but barely covered her butt and underwear. She was caked in mud, debris, ash, dirt, blood and dust. She was sopping wet all over. She was covered in cuts. She began her long trudge home. She wondered how Brick was. Surely, the others had taken him to the Professor by now. As she walked through town, she got glares and stares from the night life. Many cussed her out. Then she was pushed into a dark alley. She was surrounded by a gang of gangsters. They said that they were going to kill her. They all had knives. She ran as fast as she could. She came to the bridge to the city and the suburbs. She tripped, and fell down the rocks into the river. The gang stopped chasing her and left. She climbed up the rocks, and finally reached the suburbs of Townsville. She reached her home, and opened the door. It was 6:00am. She entered the house. They were all having breakfast. She limped to the table. Their mouths hung open at her state.

"H-h-ow i-i-s B-brick?" she managed to ask before passing out.

The Professor took her to his lab, where he cleaned her up.

Blossom's eyes fluttered open. It was noon. She saw Brick in the bed next to her.

"He's awake. Do you want to talk with him in private?" asked the Professor.

"Yes please. Thank you," she whispered.

When the Professor had left the room she began to talk.

"I am sorry," she said," Please forgive me."

"Why?" he responded through the machine.

"Because I-I love you, I am truly sorry it's just that-"

"NO! NONE OF YOUR EXCUSES! I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVER LOVED YOU! YOU ARE UGLY, STUPID, WORTHLESS, AND FAT! I HATE YOU! YOU'VE RUINED ME! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I WANT YOU DEAD! YOU HEAR ME! I WANT YOU DEAD!" yelled Brick's mind through the machine.

Blossom broke out in tears and left the room. She shut the door, and fled to her room. Her family gave her cold glares. She could hear them talking about her, and how they hated her. The Professor was just silent the whole time. She threw herself on her floor and drifted off to sleep. They all hated her. Brick was barely alive and it was all her fault.

She woke up at midnight. She didn't know how she could live here anymore, or with her "parents" for that matter. She had made her decision. It was what she did when things got rough. She was going to run away. She packed her backpack with clothes and makeup. Then she was able to get a small energy ball. She gathered all of the furniture in it. It had her bed, bookcases, TV, couch, mini fridge and freezer, dresser, nightstand, powder table, cedar chest, and other things like that. She then tip toed down the stairs. Everybody was asleep. Did she really want to do this? Brick and her families' words echoed in her head. Yes, this was for the best of everybody. She then walked toward the underwater cave. She never looked back. She never said good-bye. A single tear rolled down her cheek. It was over.
