Eliminate Eraklyon: Broken Promises
On ERAKLYON…
(SKY P.O.V.)
"Leaving so soon soldier…or should I say Jasmin." I say as I see Jasmin hanging up the phone from who I am assuming is Callister.
She closes the top part of her watch and slowly turns around to face me. The big armor reflects light in my eyes and I turn away.
She is still wearing the oversized armor from the solider she thought she had disposed of. I can tell the armor is heavily weighing her down, but it seems like this evilness in her is giving her a boost of adrenaline and strength because the armor is sometimes heavy, even on me.
She takes of the helmet and her long black hair flows out behind her. The long white stripe in her hair glimmers under the sun. As I look at her, I get flashbacks from when I saw Bloom the same way while under Darkar's control. Frizzled hair, dark clothes and deranged killer eyes with a need for destruction. She looked like a witch, but still had that prissy fairy vibe radiating from her.
She lets the rest of the armor flop down to her feet. She steps out and kicks the heavy metal aside. She wears a skin tight, yet flexible navy blue leather jumpsuit with matching heels and a long coat. Jasmin has always been skinnier than most since we were kids. Now that we are older I can see that she is still the same, but her curves are more pronounced. Her waist, thighs, and arms are still small, but her boney hips have stretched outward a lot more.
"I actually thought this was going to be easy, since I wasn't being expected at all." She starts. "Look I already promised Bloom that when I came here, I wouldn't lay a finger on you."
"I don't want to lay a finger on you either. I had promised Marcus the same thing." I say back to her. For a moment, she looked surprised as if she thought Marcus was going to stop caring about her.
"So, you guys did know I was coming here today." She starts to walk off to the side away from me. I walk the same way, blocking her from trying to run off. "I had a feeling you guys were watching us. Who was is? Timmy or Dylan?"
"Both, with help from Tecna and Zoe. You know were all worried about you two. You two may be evil now, but that doesn't mean that we stopped caring."
"I would. It honestly doesn't seem like we're getting out of this predicament easy, or unharmed." She says walking up to me and brushing past my shoulder. My hand whips out and grabs her arm pulling back in front of me.
"Jasmin, I can't let you leave with those papers." I say to her through gritted teeth. The back of her jumpsuit has pockets with a folded paper sticking out of one.
She looks down at her arm and back up to me with wide eyes. "You are gonna have to let me go, or else someone is going to get hurt and I made a promise to Bloom and you said you promised Marcus, so let's make this simple." She says snatching her arm away from my grasp. "I am going to open this portal and walk through and you are going to go back in the castle and act like you never saw me here."
She steps back grabs the tiny portal maker from the inside of her coat pocket. Right before she gets a chance to push the I swing my sword in front of her hand and she stops in her tracks frozen. She looks up at me surprised that I drew out my sword on her.
"Oh. So, this is how we're gonna do this huh." She stands up straight and puts the portal maker back in her coat pocket. "Well, if this is how you want to do this." She digs in her oversized coat again. What else could possibly be in there. When her hand comes out a long crystal blue sword is seen with a white hilt. "Let's go."
On BRIELLE IN AALIYAH'S BOYFRIEND'S HOME…
(TREVOR P.O.V.)
I feel absolutely devastated as I see my girlfriend, the light of my life, balling her eyes out on my t-shirt. The schools are being shut down for a few days, while Magix officials are sorting out what to do about Bloom and Jasmin. Everyone who was involved in the first kidnapping was being question about how exactly they got rid of Callister the first time. When I say everyone, I mean the people who had fought together beside Mya and Marion nearly 20 years ago.
When I came home, I saw Aaliyah laying on my bed crying her heart out. She had run up to me and pulled me on the bed with her and we have been laying here for about 10 minutes now. She is scared as to what might happen to Jasmin. Her mother had told her they would be fine, but Aaliyah is more of a 'I'll believe it when I see it' type of person.
I hear her sobs quiet down and notice that her eyelids are drooping down, but she fights to keep them open.
"Aaliyah, you can go to sleep if you want to." I whisper in her ear softly. She looks up at me. Her beautiful blue eyes are puffy and pink and her cheeks are tear stained.
"I can't go to sleep." She sits up and rubs her eyes. "I've been having dreams of that night."
"You haven't slept since she was taken. You're gonna wear yourself out sooner or later."
"But-" He starts to protest, but I stop her.
"Go to sleep." I gently pick her up from my lap and pull the covers back. I sit her down back on my bed. I bend down and take off her shoes. I pick her legs up and lay them on the bed. I pull the covers over her legs. She is still sitting up straight with her arms crossed. Her face is a mix of irritated and weary. I stare at her face and could only wonder what is going on in that pretty head of hers.
"Do you want me to join you?" I take a guess and know I am right when she loses the irritated face, pulls back the cover, and pats the empty space on the bed next to her. I smile at her and she smiles back. I smile I've been missing for the past couple of days.
I take off my shoes and jump next to her on the bed. She pulls the cover back up and stuffs her head into my chest. Her arms find their way round me and as soon as her eyes close I know she is fast asleep. Her face gains a peaceful look. I close my eyes and can only hope that this will all soon be over.
ON ERAKLYON…
(SKY P.O.V.)
I quickly duck and swing my sword at her. She blocks my hit and swings her sword around her head and brings it down fast. I jump back and tumble over, but swiftly hop back on my feet.
We begin to circle each other. When Jasmin swung at me first, I tried to reason with her, but she wouldn't listen. Then, she gashed my leg, so I had to do something back. I must say, Callister trained her well. Not only him, but me, Brandon, and Marcus had made her, Aaliyah and Diaspro play swords with us. She was keeping up with me like she trained at Red Fountain.
She slashes the sword at me again. I am pulled out of my thoughts when I feel a cut go across my thigh. I hunch over in pain. I don't understand. She could really hurt me if she tried, I can see it. She's holding back a lot. I stand up and slash my sword across her arm and she turns away and covers her arm up. She cries out in pain.
"I can't believe you cut me." She says still turned away from me as she heals to her wound. I start to feel bad for her and walk up behind her. Something told me that was a bad move it's already too late as she whips around, grabs my neck, and knees me between my legs hard. My hands move between my legs and I fall over in pain.
As I am laying on the ground she walks up to me and grabs my sword. She kicks me over on my back and presses her foot into my chest to keep me still. She moves a sword up to my neck and moves the other one down to my 'family jewels'. She did not have the guts to slice my neck. I didn't know about down there though.
I am pulled out of my thoughts when I hear my father and mother yelling from afar. I didn't notice before, but a large group of people have stopped and had witnessed the fight.
"Jasmin please no…don't" My mother yells out as she and my father come running out of the castle. My father looks at Jasmin with disgrace.
"Oh, hi Samara." Jasmin says in a giddy tone. My father looks at her surprised.
"That's Queen Samara! How dare you talk to her like she was a peasant!" My father screeches at Jasmin.
"My bad." She presses her foot into my chest more and pokes the sword into my shoulder blade a little. Not a lot to make it hurt, but just enough to make me bleed. "I forgot."
"Jasmin, just give us the paper and leave." My father says to her slowly walking over. Me and my mother look at him, surprised at the word he just said. Jasmin looks at him too and begins to laugh.
"Wow. You want the paper, but not your son." Jasmin says and it seems to tick off my father even more. "You do know how bad that sounds right."
"I need both!" My father growls out.
"I don't think you care about Sky honestly. It seems like you care more about the kingdom than your own son's wellbeing." Jasmin states this out loud and it makes me think for a second. Nearly everything my father has done has only been about making sure Eraklyon was safe.
"Listen to this. I will gladly let Sky go if you let me leave in peace. Or, I can slice Sky Jr. and give you the paper back." Jasmin looks intently at my parents.
"You can leave just… just don't hurt Sky." My mom cries out.
"No give us the paper and Sky! Then you can leave." My father retorts.
"Erendor-"Jasmin is cut off by my father.
"KING Erendor!" He yells at her.
"Erendor look. If I give you the paper Sky is getting his balls cut. Fair and square so…"
"Just let her leave." I say so all of this can be over. I am 100% sure she won't be like this forever and that Callister isn't gonna get away with all of this, so what the point in acting like it's the end of Magix. "I can be up and safe if we just let her go now."
"Never! -"My father starts but Jasmin cuts him off.
"Listen to your wife and son Erendor. Let me leave and blondie gets to go back with you."
My father is quiet for a few moments. I hope he isn't planning anything stupid.
"Alright then leave!" He says bluntly.
Jasmin look at him questioningly. She slowly lets her foot off me and backs away. I can see that it is too many people around for her to just set the portal maker down and wait for it to come on. As she stares down my father I get up and run over.
Something just doesn't seem right though. As I look around, I can see many palace guards hidden in the crowd of people. My dad just won't learn.
I think Jasmin notices too when I see a smirk appear on her face and she starts to cackle.
"Guards! Get Her!" My dad yells. All the guards rush out from the crowd and head toward Jasmin. Right before they get to her, I see a bright blue light shine through which makes everyone cover their eyes.
When I look up again, I see Jasmin flying in the Sky with the paper stuck in between her fairy boots and the portal maker is hanging around her neck on a chain. Making her hands free to blast anyone.
"Fire!" My dad yells. The guards pull out bows and arrows and begin to shoot at Jasmin. She puts a force field ball around her and flies off in the distance, but not before winking back at me with a smile.
"Send out the- "My dad begins to yell, but my mother stops him.
"Let her go Erendor. We have Sky and that's what matters right now." My mother says as she walks over to me.
"But now Callister has my kingdom." My father says turning my way. Who knows what kingdom is going to be next?
So I know I haven't updated in 7 months. And I am sorry. School hit me like a taco truck. But, I already have the rest of this story planned out in my head perfectly, just not typed. I promise will update more often. Maybe even this weekend.
Anyway…
Ooh. So Jasmin and Sky finally fought. Take a guess at who is next. And who do you think was in Marion and Mya's squad back in the day. Find out more. I'm gonna try to write each week since it's summer so yeah.
See ya later…
