Chapter 5: Believe me
Everyone sat and ate quietly at the breakfast table, the next morning
Musa brushed her fork over the scrambled eggs on her plate and starred at the table in front of her
'Should I call this thing off now?' she asked herself, she then looked up and starred at Riven, who was eating quietly
The silence was getting to her because no-one was talking, because of Musa taking her revenge everyone had suspected each other and no-one wanted to talk anymore. It was all her fault and she couldn't make it alright
"Umm...the prince from Harmonica is coming over today..." Musa spoke and everyone turned towards her
The girls gave her a warm smile but didn't say anything because they were lost for words
Riven's eyes showed anger and hurt as he starred at the woman he loved more than life, she wasn't making it easy for him
'If Stella told them then why aren't they doing anything about it?' Musa asked herself and narrowed her eyes at Stella who just looked away offended, 'Who knows? They're probably playing along with it, once this is over they're all dead!'
"Who is this guy?" asked Riven casually
Musa looked away from him and then addressed everyone as she spoke, "You'll find out soon, I want you guys to be nice to him, ok?"
"We sure will, Musa" Brandon said with a small smile and went back to eating his bacon
"Thanks" Musa said under her breath and then walked out of the eating room and up to her bedroom
"She never answered my question; do you girls know who Musa is marrying?" Riven asked and all the girls looked at each other before looking at Riven
"How would you care?" Tecna asked and eyed Riven. Tecna and Layla were going to sort this one out and none of the others needed to interfere
"Yeah, do you want to kill that guy or something?" asked Layla angrily
"Excuse me" Stella said quietly and got up and left the room
'I'm sure she told them, otherwise why would she run away like that?' asked Bloom in her mind, she was using a spell so she and Flora could talk through their thoughts
'Maybe you're right...but I don't believe Stella could be so heartless' Flora replied
'This is Stella! It wasn't Musa's fault for what we said to her, so she shouldn't have ruined this whole thing!' Bloom thought angrily
Meanwhile Layla and Tecna were handling the guys very well, arguing and giving them some facts
This only resulted to Riven getting furious and storming out of the room
"What happened?" asked Bloom when she and Flora stopped talking through thoughts
"Yeah, he looked pretty bad" added Flora
"It isn't easy to lose the love of your life" said Timmy and then blushed
"I think he'll try to kill that prince whose coming today" Nabu said sighing
"Or worse, he's going to try and stop him from marrying Musa" Sky pointed out
"How can that be worse than killing him? That's totally illogical!" Tecna said confused
"Whatever, but we have to find a way of stopping him from doing that!" Layla said and rolled her eyes at Tecna
"Anyone got any plans?" asked Brandon and looked at the rest of them in turn
"We could keep Riven away from him..." Helia suggested
"How are we going to do that?" asked Timmy
"One of us could distract him while Musa meets this guy" Helia explained
"That might just work" Tecna said and smiled
"But won't he want to meet him? Riven isn't stupid, you know!" Bloom pointed out
"Yeah and Musa would want him to meet this guy too" Nabu added
Everyone then sighed and forgot about their plan and groaned
"Then...we're screwed" Layla finished
"I can't believe Musa!" Stella whispered angrily as she trudged down the hallway which led to her room
"It's not my fault if I have a big mouth, is it?" mumbled Stella
She crossed her arms and then looked up to find herself walking to a wall, it was a dead end
"Damnit!" she breathed
She had been mumbling and looking at her feet that she had found herself lost in Musa's huge Melody palace
'This is just great! Now, I look like a total loser who is lost and there isn't anyone in sight!' she thought helplessly
Stella turned around and decided to find her own way; she was a princess so she figured that it couldn't be too hard to find her way around the place
"Hand off of me!" was the screaming that Stella heard as she rounded a corner
"Who's that?" she said out loud and ran quietly to take a look
She sprinted softly down the long hallway to the hallway which was in front of her, where the scream came from
She cursed her heels as she ran towards the sound, hoping that she wouldn't get caught
"What do you want from me?" the voice was strong and angry
"Musa?" Stella whispered in confusion and then furrowed her eye-brows as she crept towards the wall so she could peek on the people with Musa
"Keep your trap shut, princess!" it was a male voice which was gruff and deep
Stella put her head round the wall and saw two men fully dressed in black and Musa was standing in the middle of them with tears in her navy eyes
"Let me go!" shouted Musa as the two men dragged her away into another corridor
Stella was shocked, she ran after them as fast as she could, taking off her annoying heels in the process
"Musa!" she stretched her hand out in front of her trying to catch Musa, but no-one heard her, she was all alone in that part of the palace
Musa was out of sight, almost as if she had disappeared and those two men had gone with her
"Oh no, I have to do something!" Stella whispered in horror and then frantically tried to find her way
She ran through corridor through corridor and hallway to hallway
"Anyone? Help!" she cried as she legged it down different parts of the palace
She finally found the eating room and she ran in and found that the girls were still there, having a chat
"Stella, is everything ok?" Flora asked because she was the first one to notice the blonde fairy
Stella crouched and put her hands on her knees and panted
She looked up at all of them and shook her head to the side, "No" she said finally
Everyone furrowed their eye-brows, "What's up?" Layla asked
"M-Musa, she's been captured!" Stella cried in shock
The gang looked at each other and burst out laughing, "You almost had me, then!" cried Layla
"April fools was a couple of days ago" Tecna laughed informing Stella
Stella glared at all of them, "Why don't you believe me? She needs our help!"
"Good one, Stella!" Bloom laughed and clutched her stomach
No-one believed her because they couldn't trust her because; Stella had told the boys and created this whole mess
"It's not funny!" Stella said and blinked back tears
"You're right it's not, it's hilarious!" said Layla and then started rolling on the ground with laughter
"Stella, I think you should just drop it now" Flora said and wiped a tear from her eye
"This is serious! Fine, if you don't believe me, then don't see if I care! I can rescue our friend by myself!" then she turned away and sprinted out of the room
The boys were sitting in the royal gardens and having some refreshing lemonade
"Look guys!" Sky exclaimed and pointed towards a figure
"Isn't that the prince that Musa was talking about?" Nabu asked
"I think so..." said Brandon and narrowed his eyes to have a closer look at him
"Yes it is, the prince of Harmonica, Musa's neighbouring planet" Helia said as he walked closer
"Prince Cameron, actually" said Timmy and cleaned his glasses with his shirt
Cameron was tall and handsome, he had striking green eyes that sparkled in the sun as he walked towards them and his hair was caramel. He had the same pale skin tone as Musa which explained what they neighbouring planets had in common and he was dressed head to toe in prince clothes
He ignored the boys as he passed them and he walked right into the palace as if he owned it
"He...looks like a stuck up brat!" Sky said and glared at the back of his head
"Look who's talking!" Brandon exclaimed jokily and everyone laughed
"Sounds like something Riven might say!" Nabu laughed
Sky glared at all of them and then joined in the laughter
"Where is Riven by the way?" asked Helia and looked at his friends
"Who knows? He disappeared after breakfast" Brandon answered and shrugged
"He'll be around, don't worry about it" Timmy assured them
"Yeah, at least it keeps him away from that Cameron guy, so I guess we were worrying for nothing" Sky pointed out
:O Who were those guys that captured Musa? Was Riven one of them?
You'll have to wait to find out! ;)
I hope you're enjoying this story so far! It's longer than I expected it to be, which is a good thing though!
