Crush Callisto: Jasmin
CALLISTER'S LAYER…
(JASMIN P.O.V.)
"No!" I yell at Callister as I walk back to me and Bloom's room.
"You're going whether you like it or not! Understood, and I-" Callister shouts back at me, but I slam the door in his face, cutting his last words off. I turn around and cross my arms in a huff. I see Bloom laying down in her bed, playing with potions.
"Hey, you know I looked at the list of items that Callister put into what he injected in us, and eye of newt on the list." Bloom tells me. "That stuff's in everything." She looked at me and her smiled slightly dropped. "What's wrong?"
"He's making me go to Callisto." I say and walk to my bed flop on my face.
"Ouch. Scared to face your boyfriend?" Bloom rolls over on her stomach and faces me. "Huh."
"Yes." I lift my head up. "It just doesn't feel right." I say more to myself than to Bloom.
"It seems like the evilness he put in us, is wearing off you." Bloom gets up and walk over to me. She flops next to me on my bed, facing the ceiling. "To be honest, I was glad I didn't have to go to Eraklyon. I don't think I would have completed the mission if I saw him. He's a distraction."
I look at Bloom and think about her words. "I don't know why Callister put this type of spell on us."
"What do you mean?" Bloom flips over on her stomach and nudges me.
"We have to do all of his evil biddings and attack people who are close to us, but he didn't take away our ability to feel. Yeah, I'm evil right now, but I still love my friends and family…and Marcus. I just can't bring myself to do this today. That's beyond evil to me."
"Hey." I look at Bloom. "Even when you do go, he's not gonna hate you when this is all over."
"When what's all over? My mission?" I sit up and look at her.
"The climax of his plan. Taking over the big shot kingdoms and making them give up their crowns. He will be the ruler of all of Magix."
"I don't think he'll love a villain." I stand up and walk back to the door.
"You don't know that." Bloom says right before I walk out the door. "He'll still show you love no matter how evil you are. Even after all you did and said. It won't change how he feels. Yeah, he might be hesitant because of all the hell you went through, but love prevails. I know from experience."
"Thanks."
"No problem." Bloom winks at me when I open the door. "Try not to get freaky when you get there!"
"Shut up!" I say as I close the door behind me. A smile creeps on my face as I walk to Callister's office.
RED FOUNTAIN…
SCHOOL GYM…
AFTER SCHOOL…
(NO P.O.V.)
"Dude. Do you actually think that Jasmin is gonna kick Marcus's ass today?" Riven asks as he bench-presses some weights.
"I don't think so. You just saw the video." Chris does some pushups on the floor and he grunts as he gets ups. "She seemed so scared to even go."
"I feel bad. Really, I do. All relationships are just crumbling." Aiden hops off the treadmill and grabs his towel. "It's hard to watch."
"I should contact Marcus that Jasmin is coming soon." Timmy walk out of the room and calls Marcus.
"I had buy so many tissues for Stella last week." Brandon steps out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. "She's still sulking from her castle burning."
"That sucks man." Logan puts down his weights. "Ava had told me that most of the castle was still intact."
"It is, but a nice chunk of it is rubble." Brandon sits down on a bench.
"Who's gonna pay for it?" Jason asks.
"Knowing Radius, he'll want to blame Oritel and Marion." Brandon leans back.
"Well that wouldn't be fair." Helia runs a towel across his head. "It's no one's fault, but Callister's."
"Callister sure isn't gonna pay for it." Nabu adds in. "That's a lot of damage for any kingdom to pay for.
"Bloom and Jasmin are getting more and more dangerous after every mission." Dylan stops doing sit ups. "More kingdoms are being aware and it's making Bloom and Jasmin have less of a surprise effect. So, they have to use more force and bad bargaining to get those papers signed."
"If we could just find where Callister's hideout is, this would all be over by now." Trevor says as he helps a student pick up some weights.
"That would be a great ambush." Thoren walks over to Trevor, but stops when he sees Zoe, Emma, Flora, and Aisha bust through the gym doors.
"You guys!" Emma says as she runs in.
"You know you're not allowed in here, right?" Jason asks as he stands up and hugs her.
"We asked Codatora if we could come in and he said we have 30 minutes." Emma says as she kisses him on the cheek.
"Zoe discovered evidence about the contract that the royals are signing." Flora walks over to Helia.
"What type of evidence?" He asks.
"Evidence that we believe Callister hasn't considered." Aisha runs up to Nabu.
"Which is…?" Nabu looks at Zoe.
"Okay, so look at the contract." Zoe walks to the middle of the group.
"You have the contract with you?" Dylan walks up behind her and places his hands around her waist.
"Of course not." She turns around and nudges his face to the side. "I had Stella take a picture of the contract last week when Bloom attacked Solaria. I've been analyzing it ever since."
"What did you find?" Thoren asks.
Zoe smiles at everyone. "You're not gonna believe it."
ON CALLISTO…
IN MARCUS'S BEDROOM…
(MARCUS P.O.V.)
"I have to what?" I ask again laying down in my bed on the phone.
"You have to rip the contract after you sign it." Zoe tells me over the phone. "Once you do, you and your family won't be able to sign any more papers. It will be like your names can't be written down anymore on those papers."
"Are you sure Zoe? Cause I don't want Jasmin to kick my ass when she sees me rip that paper."
"Don't worry about Jasmin kicking your ass. She doesn't even want to see you. She was begging Callister to let her stay."
"Oh, so the villain still has feeling for me?"
"Yeah and... I wish you would have saw the video from the layer. Her and Bloom had a deep conversation about love. It was cute."
"What did they say?"
"Bloom was saying something about how she thinks the evil is wearing off Jasmin. She's been more emotional about you lately" Zoe gets a more serious tone in her voice. "She's scared she's gonna lose you, but Bloom gave her some really good advice about how you feel, so all is better now."
"Yeah sure."
Zoe goes quiet on the phone for a second. "Well...how do you feel?"
Now I'm the quiet one as I lay in my bed thinking hard about the question. How DO I feel? "I love her. And I already know she loves me. We established those exchange of words 2 years ago on her 16th birthday…but, I'm afraid after this- that'll change. So, I honestly don't know."
"Listen. All is going to be fine in the end."
"How do you know that? Zoe you're smart, but you can't see the future."
"When was the last time a villain actually succeeded with a plan to either rule or destroy Magix?"
"Uh nev-"
"Exactly" Zoe interrupts me. "This plan will backfire, we will find a weak spot, and Callister won't win."
"Seems hard to do that when the strongest fairies are on the other side"
Zoe goes silent again. "Marcus if you keep having a negative attitude about this stuff, Callister will probably never let them go! So, I suggest you get off your ass, so when Jasmin does go there to kick your ass, you can swoop in and be all suave and woo her so she'll love you even more when this is over! Understand!"
"Okay, okay! There's no need to yell Zoe. Damn."
"Good. Now bye."
And with that she hung up in my face. Zoe has all brains, but her attitude is big.
I stand up and walk over to my room desk. I pick up one of the picture frames that are lying face down and stare at those beautiful eyes that I fell in love with. It shows a picture of me and Jasmin on our first date. A walk in the park 5 years ago. We've come too far for it to all fall apart over some evil wizard.
"Why did he have to take you?" I quietly say to myself as I keep on staring at my "missing" girlfriend and walk back to my bed and sit with my head hanging low, feeling conflicted.
"Because I'm one of the best." I hear a reply from a voice that I just know too well. I let out a dry laugh and slowly raise my head to look at the girl who I give my all to. Jasmin has another picture from my desk in her hand and holds it close to her face, looking at it like it was a lost memory. She puts it back down sitting up straight and looks at me with adoring eyes.
Over the 14 years I've known her and other intimate things we've done, I've studied her appearance and know every inch of her. However, now that she has been with Callister, I see every difference. Her once green eyes are now black. Her usually straight and kept hair was frizzed. The biggest difference was her body. In the skin-tight navy-blue suit, she is wearing, I can practically see all her bones. I know she is normally skinny, but that was a healthy skinny. She's has a fast metabolism so she doesn't gain much weight. She has kept her weight down to an even 118 for the past year. But now she looked starved.
"Oh, you are?" I cocked up an eyebrow at her. "The news is making you seem like the worst."
"The news people are assholes." She slowly walks over to me. "They'll say anything to get views."
"Did you hear what they said earlier?" Talking to her like everything is normal between us.
"Oh yeah!" Her face lights up with a genuine smile. "Me and Bloom are Not seeping with that old creep. Just so you and Sky don't lose your shit." She walks over and sits next to me on the bed. "And my mom Marion aren't working for him."
"Naah, I didn't believe that for a second." I chuckle to myself and turn towards her. "The speak of him with 100% hatred."
"Yeah." Her laugh seems hurried as she turns and stares at me. The room goes silent as the elephant in the room gets addressed. I stare back and her face looks conflicted with hurt. "I've actually missed you, you know." She gives me a hopeful smile.
"I've missed you too." I say back, knowing the deeper meaning in my words. "I miss the old you."
"I thought you would have hated me for what I've done." Her smile slowly drops.
"I could never hate you Jasmin. No matter what you do. I'll always love you." I say sincerely. I take her hands and she intertwines them as she looks down at them.
"I was hoping you would say that." Her shoulders fall as if a huge weight was lifted from her shoulders. She looks back up at me and her eyes roam over my face, slowly stopping at my lips. She starts to slowly lean in. I know I should stop her, but I don't. I've been craving her for 2 weeks now, so I let her kiss me.
Her lips slowly press against mine in a scared kiss. I let go of her hands and move mines down to her hips. She brings her hands up and wraps them around my neck. I gain courage and deepen the kiss, parting her lips. Her mouth starts to move a little faster against my lips. It seems she gains courage too and starts to push me further back on my bed. I lay down and she straddles my waist. She lays her hands on my chest and I put mines on the back of her thighs.
We take each other's breath away for the next 2 minutes, gasping for air. She lifts her head up and stares at me, her chest heaving up and down quickly. I look at her smiling, breathing heavily too, but my smile disappears when she quickly gets off me.
"Where are you going?" I ask as I sit up in bed and run a hand over my dazed face. I look up and see her pacing the room, running her hand through her hair with a hurt expression. I quickly get up and run over to her. "Hey hey hey. What's wrong? Why'd you stop?"
"Why?! I stopped because we can't do this!" She cried out. I'm a villain. I'm supposed to be making you sign this paper to sign over all rights to your kingdom and fighting you, but- I just can't bring myself to do it. You distract me. Everything about you distracts me and I- I love you too much to be that low of evil and hurt your family like that."
"Well what happens if you don't get it signed?" I grip her lower back with one hand while my other touches the side of her face.
"Punishment." She says with an empty expression.
"What type of punishment?" I ask with worthy worry on my face.
"I don't know. It's never happened." We got silent after that. I think back to what Zoe told me to do. She might get punished, but hopefully he'll understand that it's not her fault.
"I'll sign it for you." I look in her soulless eyes and tell her. Her eyes widen and she shakes her head furiously.
"No. I don't want you to. If you do there goes your whole kingdom." She grabs my arm and stares me in my eyes. Gosh I love her.
"Hey. Just between me and you." I lean in close to her ear. "I don't think his pan will work out anyway." She laughs and lightly hits me on my arm.
"Bloom said the same thing." I laugh along with her. She goes quietly for a second then stares back at me. "Here."
She reaches in her boot and passes me the contract. She opens her hands and a pen magically appears. I take and sign my name at the bottom. A large C is brightly shone through the paper. I hand the paper back to her and she inserts it back in her pocket.
"Well I guess this is my cue to leave." She says sadly and looks at me with wanting eyes. She starts to turn away, but I stop her in her tracks.
"No goodbye kiss?" I ask her teasingly. She laughs at my comment.
"Oh right. Couldn't forget that right?" She walks back over to me and wraps her arms around my neck pulling me close, our chests pressed together. I wrap my hands around her waist and press my lips on hers. She deepens the kiss and makes me part my mouth, asking for access.
I lower my hands down, gently sliding down her until my hands lay on her butt where her back pocket is. I can feel her smile against my lips as she slowly brings out her tongue and joins it with mine. While she is distracted with my mouth, I slowly slide the contract out of her back pocket. I unfold it and rip it down the middle. She hears the tear and stops kissing me. She backs away and looks at the ripped contract.
"Why did you do that?" She asks quietly.
"It's all a part of the plan." I say nodding my head and grinning at her. She smiles and hugs me.
Suddenly, low, grumbling thunder can be heard outside the castle.
"What's that?" She asks as we both run over to my balcony and step outside. Large dark clouds have flew over and darkened the city. "It was just a sunny day."
"I'm not sure." I respond as I look into the clouds again. Then, appears a large C in the sky with lightning around it. "Oh, that's why." Rain instantly starts to pour down from the sky, drenching both of us. She turns to me, her wet hair clings to her face. She walks over and wraps her arms around me. I hug her back and look down at her. The lightning in the sky lowly illuminating her face. I lean down and kiss her, the rain falling around us. I'm really gonna miss her. She steps back and looks at me with loving eyes. She gives me one last kiss on my cheek and turns around. She walks toward the corner of the balcony and climbs up on the edge.
"When are you coming back? For good." I ask with a hurt feeling burning my heart. She turns around and I can faintly see a teardrop, but the rain makes it hard to tell.
"I'm not sure." She tells me and turns back around. I look to the ground for a second then back up at her.
"I love you." I say to her quietly.
Jasmin turned and gave me a sad smile. She jumps off the balcony and dived straight down. A few seconds later, she quickly flies up in her fairy form, soaring off into the dark and cold sky. When I look up again and see a faint white light forming words in the dark gray clouds.
"I love you too."
I smile to myself and turn around, heading back toward my room. I close my balcony doors and walk back over to my desk and sit down. I pick up the picture that Jasmin was looking at earlier and stare at it. It was a picture of us that Aaliyah took on her 16th birthday of us kissing in the rain, just like a few moments ago. I pick up my phone and call Zoe back. She picks up after a couple seconds and her voices rings out over the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Zoe. I just called to get back with you on that question you asked me earlier." I say looking intensely at the photo. "I know exactly how I feel."
"And what's that?"
"I'll never stop loving her."
See ya later…
