Chapter 4
"Yeah. So I said nu- uh and she was like uh- uh and I was like…..", Stella chattered on, showing no mercy to her audience.
Musa and Techna rolled their eyes. Bloom was trailing back, lost somehow.
"Bloom?" Musa called to her and the 3 girls turned to look at her. Then Bloom suddenly fell to the ground.
The girls held her and tried to wake her.
But it was useless.
They took her to Professor Avalon. He was shocked to see them come into his office carrying Bloom but when they explained what happened, his eyes narrowed, "I knew it", he said.
"What?", Stella's eyes were wide.
"I KNEW there was darkness in Bloom. I saw it. But she didn't know anything. I guess Darkar put it in her. We have to do something" Avalon raised his hands and began drawing energy from Bloom. As the aura flowed out, the girls saw that it was black!
Avalon pushed this dark energy into a glass orb. Bloom suddenly woke up and he handed the orb to her, "You must keep pushing your energy into this from time to time just to check", he explained.
The girls thanked him with all their hearts and they left.
Avalon sighed.
Helping Bloom took all his energy.
Then why did he do it?
Because you love her, an unwanted thought whispered through him. It made him angry. But as months had passed, he knew it was the truth.
He learned to accept it. He loved Bloom.
One day after the four fairies left his office after Bloom's session, he walk over to the mirror of dreams. He badly wanted to use it. With a sigh, he stepped in.
There in Mirror Land, whatever he wanted happened. And he wanted to be with Bloom. So there he landed at a beach with the sun setting.
Bloom was sleeping next to him and he pulled her up and kissed her.
"Bye!", Avalon called to Bloom and he stepped out of the mirror regretfully. He truly enjoyed being with her, even if it wasn't exactly HER.
Then he stood in his office, stunned. Unmoving.
Because before him stood Stella, her eyes wide with shock.
She was staring at the mirror!
She had seen everything!
"Uh Stella, I can explain.." Avalon stammered. He was so embarrassed.
"You really do love her, don't you?" Stella asked him. He nodded.
She rushed over and hugged him!
"I'll get you two together, I promise. Bloom is stubborn but I will make this work. I will. don't worry" Stella rambled on and on.
"Thank you Stella", Avalon smiled.
