Chapter 8: The Horrible Awakening: Part 1
Brandon's P.O.V:
"So Stella..." I started. She looked at me and smiled.
"Yea Brandon?" she asked.
I sighed before talking "Can you tell me more about my past? Please.." I asked. She nodded and sat on a rock. I sat next to her.
"What do you wanna know?" Stella asked me. I thought for a second and then it hit me.
"How do I control the sword the specialists gave me?" I asked.
"Oh...that's for you to ask the specialists not me." she said. I nodded and looked up at the stars. She looked at them too and smiled.
"So...you like the stars?" I asked. She nodded and sighed before saying some words that made her smile disappear.
"They remind me of my mom.." She said. I could see tears forming in her eyes. I hugged her and stroked her hair.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know that you didn't like to talk about your mom." I said. She shook her head and looked into my eyes.
"No. It's okay. I'm just a little sensitive." She said as she stood up. "We should probably get going. It's getting dark". I nodded and stood up. Somehow...I feel like I know her ever since I was 8..
:End of P.O.V
"Hey guys. How was the walk?" Helia asked.
"It was good.." Brandon answered. The others just nodded. Sky cleared his throat and stood up.
"We have to go back to RF. See ya girls tomorrow." Sky said as he kissed Bloom gently.
"Okay. See you tomorrow." Tecna said. The guys waved before leaving. Musa stood up from where she was sitting and stretched her arms out.
"Well...I'm off to bed." she informed as she went to her dorm. Tecna closed her computer and followed her.
"Good night dwalings.." Stella said as she entered her room. "Good night Stell." The rest of the girls said as they entered their room.
Stella's Dream:
"Kraehe..." Kraehe heard her father's voice.
"Yes father?" She asked.
"Why haven't you gained me a heart?" He asked. 'GAIN ME A HEART KRAEHE! WHY HAVEN'T YOU GAINED ME A HEART KRAEHE?!' Stella mocked.
"I-I.." Kraehe shuttered. The raven growled and made his claw appear in front of Kraehe.
"I'm giving you another chance to gain me one...if you don't then those friends of yours will no longer see the light.." he threatened. Kraehe stood up and hugged one of the razor sharp claws.
"No! Please don't father! They're very important to me!" Kraehe cried.
"If they're important to you...then why aren't you gaining me a heart to protect them?" The raven asked.
"It's just that it's really difficult to gain one.." Kraehe cried. The raven said a couple more words before disappearing.
"Then you better gain me a heart soon..." He informed.
"NO! PLEASE FATHER! GIVE ME MORE TIME TO GAIN YOU ONE! PLEASE!" Kraehe cried/yelled "NO! NO!"
:End of Dream
"NO! NO! NO!" Stella yelled.
"Sweetie wake up.." She heard a soothing voice say. Stella woke up and saw that all her friends were surrounding her bed.
"Flora? Bloom? What are you girls doing here?" the blonde asked.
"Your screaming woke us up. Are you okay?" Musa asked. Stella just nodded.
"What time is it?" Stella asked. Tecna pulled out her phone and checked. "It's 12:37 A.M. Why?".
"I'm just asking. You girls can go to sleep now." Stella said. The rest just nodded and left except for Bloom who decided to stay.
"You want me to spend the rest of the night here?" Bloom asked. Stella smiled and nodded.
7:45 A.M at Red Fountain.
"Okay guys..ready to go to Alfea?" Timmy asked. The rest nodded. Riven took out his phone and texted Musa to let them know they were coming.
Hey Muse. We're going 2 Alfea in a couple of minutes. ~Riven. S
Riven waited a couple minutes to get a reply.
Kk! Later babe! B) ~Musa. M
Don't turn into Stella and Bloom! ~Riven. S
THOSE R MY FRIENDS UR TAKIN ABOUT U #%*#ยก! ~Musa. M
Okay, okay. Gosh...WATCH UR MOUTH! ~Riven. S
Whateva. See u in a couple minutes. BYE! ~Musa. M
"Okay lets go." Riven said as he exited the door. The rest just followed him. They got into the squad ship and headed to Alfea.
...
As soon as they got there they heard coughing. Loud coughing. They specialists saw Flora running into Stella's room with green tea. They asked Musa what has been going on.
"What's up?" Sky asked. Musa looked away from the cupboard and faced the specialists.
"Stella woke up with a cold.." Musa answered worried. Brandon asked more questions. The specialists could tell that he was really worried.
"Can you tell us about how she woke up?" the brunette asked.
"Well...it was 5:34 A.M. I heard coughing. I stepped out of my room to see the rest of the girls - well - everyone but Stella, so we went to her room. We saw her sweating. Flora checked her and she had a high fever. We lifted her arm, and it felt lifeless. We checked her other arm, and we got the same result. Tecna checked her legs. They felt lifeless too. She woke up and gasped for air. Layla immediately went to the kitchen for a glass of water. When she came back Stella quickly drank it. She fell asleep, and she hasn't woken up since then. The only thing we've heard - is Stella's rough and loud coughing..." Musa explained as she had tears start forming in her eyes. Riven immediately hugged her and comforted her. Bloom burst out of Stella's room went into the kitchen, and grabbed a wet cloth.
...
"*cough*' *cough*!" Stella was sweating and she couldn't keep her eyes open. Every time she looked to the side without moving her head - she would get a massive headache.
"Sweetie drink this. It will at least make you stop coughing - for a while." Flora calmly instructed. Stella didn't even object. She didn't like green tea that much, but she felt like she got ran over by a train repeatedly. She drank the green tea...well...more like sipped.
After three-four sips she closed her eyes. Flora exited and saw the specialists all sitting on the couch. She smiled, but it's soon faded when she saw Brandon's worried expression.
"Um...Tecna..why don't you go check on her..to see if she has gotten a higher fever.." Flora suggested. Tecna nodded and went into Stella's room. The rest just looked at each other. Worried about their blonde friend.
...
"Stella..." Tecna softly said as she shook Stella. Stella opened her eyes and tried to smile at Tecna...but failed miserably.
"Yea *cough* *cough* Tec?" Stella asked. Tecna could see tears at the corner of her eyes, but they weren't because of emotion. They were tears of pain and hurt.
"I-I need to check your temperature.." Tecna answered. Stella nodded, but then coughed. Twice. Tecna checked her temperature and was surprised to see that it had gotten lower. She told Stella to go back to sleep, and Stella did as told. Tecna stepped out of her room and signaled the girls to meet her in the kitchen.
...
"So? How is she?" Layla asked. Tecna sighed and sat down on a chair. "Her temperature has dropped, but her body still seems lifeless.." Tecna answered. The rest just nodded sadly and sat on a chair too. They heard footsteps coming, but they ignored it. The specialists entered the room and stood behind their respective girlfriend - except Brandon who stood in the corner of the room...looking down.
"Alright girls...tell us what happened before Stella got ill." Timmy instructed. The girls nodded and Layla decided she should tell the specialists.
"She awoke us by yelling out the words 'NO! NO! NO!'." she started.
Flashback:
"NO! NO! NO!" Stella yelled.
"Sweetie wake up.." She heard a soothing voice say. Stella woke up and saw that all her friends were surrounding her bed.
"Flora? Bloom? What are you girls doing here?" the blonde asked.
"Your screaming woke us up. Are you okay?" Musa asked. Stella just nodded.
"What time is it?" Stella asked. Tecna pulled out her phone and checked. "It's 12:37 A.M. Why?".
"I'm just asking. You girls can go to sleep now." Stella said. The rest just nodded and left except for Bloom who decided to stay.
"You want me to spend the rest of the night here?" Bloom asked. Stella smiled and nodded.
:End of Flashback
"...and that's what happened." Layla finished. The specialists nodded and continued asking questions.

Stella's P.O.V:
I was coughing so hard that I could literally have my eyes popping out of my head. I tried to breath. I really really did, but I could only breath in and out of my mouth. If-if I die...then the raven has to look for a new daughter, and my friends will be safe. They could help Brandon gain his memory back, bu-t *tears start forming* he-he won't kno-know a thing ab-about me. If he doesn't know a th-thing about me...then that will be the best...fo-for all of u-us...
Hi people...done with chapter 8 of 'The Squire and Raven' . If it's sad...don't be shy and tell me, because I was crying - well...not in that emotional way more like when you yawn. Anyway - this has got to be the most longest chapter I have written compared to the other chapters from my other stories. My whole family is sick, but I'm mostly in the situation Stella's in. Told you that sickness won't stop me from updating...hope you liked it.
