Darkar wants me. And that's what he'll get.
Chapter XXVIII: Disloyalty
"I have a plan" I quickly say, before anyone else can something.
"Tecna, is there some kind of spell to transport something of which you know the location?"
"Yes I am pretty sure of that. It depends how big the object is." She says. Everyone's looking at me expectantly.
"About 30 centimeters I guess." I say uncomfortably because I can just feel Sky's glare.
"Okay that's good, that ought to be possible. It's a rather technical spell, so maybe I should do it. No offense you guys, but…"
"No, no you're right." I nervously say. Stop staring at me! God I only hope this will work.
"You need to give me some important data Bloom. Where does it come from?"
"Sparx. It's in the castle. Do you need know the exact location?"
"No, that's not necessary but why do you…?"
"You'll see" I interrupt tensely. She starts tapping on her computer very fast.
"What's its shape?"
"Um it's an orb." I say and I see 9 heads flashing up. What? It's just an orb!
"Okay" Tecna says, not minding everyone else. Thank you! She starts chanting the spell. I only hope the orb will work outside the castle. I have to find a way to cover it so the others can't see what I want to see because then my plan is just stupid! But I can't curse my friends!
"Ah there it is!" I say cheerily
"There's nothing there" Riven says
"What?"I say surprised.
"There's nothing there." Riven repeats "Sky, what did you do to her?"
"Shut up Riven" Musa say. He throws his hands up in defense.
"Wow sorry. Jeez!"
"I can't believe it didn't work" Tecna sadly says.
"Tec, come on, we can try again. Maybe you just pronounced one word wrong. We'll try again." Timmy says and awkwardly puts his hand on her shoulder. She's not toxic!
"But can't you guys see it?" I ask. "It's right there!" Seriously; this isn't the time for a prank.
"Bloom sweetie, we can't see anything" Flora says. I go towards the orb and take it in my hands.
"Can't you see it?" I ask louder now.
"We don't. I thought that was clear by now" Riven says exasperated "You can see it, we can't. Bohoo lucky you."
"Riven!" Musa exclaims. He throws her an air kiss, which makes her blush and roll her eyes at the same time.
"Show me Stella!" I say and I see halls, gates and walls before I see her with the fake Avalon. Now I know where she is; that's a good start.
"Yes!" I say out loud. Everyone is looking at me as if I'm an alien, which isn't really a shocker since I'm standing here with my hands in the air, talking against and looking at something in the air. Huh!
"I know where Stella is" I really tell them the wrong direction? I do need a plan B so… I explain the whole route. The right route. This doesn't mess up my plan, in the contrary, it's better now! I see Timmy and Tecna are consulting each other again to find a perfect way to transport us all. I'm going to do something now that I'm not proud of; I'm going to lie to my friends, but in order to save Stella, everything is allowed. And if you think about it; it's stupid that I would let Darkar have Stella, since she's useless to him; that would be egocentric.
"I have a plan." I say
"Again!" Riven says sarcastically. I just ignore him because… he's Riven!
"I can create a portal for all of us." I say anxiously waiting for an answer. Oh ow, I see Sky wants to say something. That's not good; because the last time he saw me practice magic I just screwed up. I'm guessing he won't support my plan.
"Bloom; I don't think that's a good plan; perhaps Tecna and Timmy…"
"Sky" I cut him off, ice cold "Whatever plan they have; my way is faster" he will not ruin this!
"No, you can't just..." he says angrier, but now someone else interrupts him.
"It's faster" Brandon says "Damned Sky I don't want her to stay any second longer with that bastard than she already does." He says mad.
"But you don't know what…"
"Sky! What's wrong with you!" Layla says. Everyone looks up 'cause she hasn't said anything yet the whole time we were here.
"What would you do when this was about Bloom? What would you do? Yeah off course you're broken up yeah sure, but you know that wouldn't make any difference. Tell me; what would you do?" Wow; I didn't know she had that in her. Nice. What will he say? Layla looks at him with penetrating eyes. I'm just surprised he doesn't turn to dust because of that withering stare.
"I'd be dead right now because I would've tried to kill Darkar." He admits.
"Finally" Riven says. And I don't know if he's talking about Sky or about the fact that we have arrived.
"Should we transform?" Layla asks immediately when we are out off the ship.
"No" I quickly say, realizing that they could fly up to the portal then. "That would be too much weight to transport" I lie
"Oh. Good." She says and nods. I quickly transform and fly up a few meters. So this is it. The moment. I feel like I have to say something to them, though they won't know what I'm talking about. I start to create the portal by focusing on it and I know it will work so the plan will go on. I see the orange portal in front of me, floating in the air.
"Bloom! How are we going to get up there?!" Tecna shouts
"Oh no…" Flora says, shaking her head
"What?" Musa asks "Bloom!" she yells. I glare at Sky, but I can't postpone it any longer. I have to go.
"Goodbye" I manage to whisper, while big wet tears glide all the way down to my mouth where I taste the salt when I open my mouth to talk again but I remain silent. Nothing can be said.
I get in the portal and start spinning around, still sobbing but I start to restrain myself because I know I need to be strong to save Stella. I remember now how weak she was in Downland; so Avalon will probably not have taken her ring so if I help her a little, she'll get out and she will go straight to Brandon and the others. At least; I hope that's how it'll go. Finally I'm there. I get out of the portal and then I see her.
"Thank God!" I whisper and run over to her to hug her.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." I hear a deep voice say. I turn around and look directly into his eyes.
"Darkar"
A/N: so this was Bloom's plan. You can call it stupid; you can call it amazing; but it certainly is brave! Or brainless off course! Anyhow; I always try to update as quick as possible; and I think I have succeeded at that so far. I don't know if this will keep going on like this, cause I have midterms coming but you know me: I'll try!
Thanx to loyal reviewers and also all the other people who review off course; it makes me smile!!!
Next time: Will Bloom escape? And will Brandon really get his Stella back? And why does everyone go back to Alfea together with Avalon? (Cool huh?!)
Xoxo
