Hi people. I had a review that was really helpful. Thank you and you know who you are. :) Hope you like this chapter and please review!
Last Time on 'The Squire and Raven':
"YOU AGIAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? YOU'RE GONNA RUIN EVERYTHING!" Kraehe yelled...though she didn't want to yell.
"WE'VE COME TO RESCUE OUR FRIEND! NOW. LET. HIM. GO!" Musa shouted. Kraehe crossed her arms over her chest, and when she opened them razor sharp crow feathers came out of the wings.
"GUYS WATCH OUT! THEY'RE POISONOUS!" Tecna shouted as she made a digital shield. The rest ducked trying to escape the feathers. Kraehe got furious when they had ducked them all. She remembered when her father told her about the raven blood. He put a drop of it into her blood which was putting it into both her and Stella. She put a drop of it into a crow feather and shot it directly at Brandon.
"AGH!" Brandon hissed as it scratched his shoulder.
"HAHAHAHA!" Kraehe laughed as she disappeared. Jared fell straight to the ground.
"BRANDON! ARE YOU OKAY!?" Riven shouted from a far distance. Brandon nodded, but deep down inside...his heart was aching...
'M-my heart...it hurts...' Brandon thought as he put his hand over his heart...
Chapter 10: The Aching Heart of a Squire
"Brandon? BRANDON!" Musa yelled. Brandon then looked up at her with his hand still over his heart.
"What!?" Brandon snapped.
"Did you just snap at me?" Musa asked while raising one of her eyebrows. Brandon shook his head quickly. "Good...so do you remember Jared?" the navy blue haired fairy asked.
Brandon just shook his head. "N-no...I don't remember any Jared.." he said. Musa nodded and walked away. Brandon grunted as he stood up. His heart was aching as if he lost hthe other half.
"BRANDON LETS GO!" Sky shouted as he and the others were leaving. Brandon took a deep breath and ran to them. He tried to prevent from yelling out in pain.
"You didn't have to run..." Helia said as he patted Brandon on the back. Brandon then got really annoyed.
"Now you tell me! You could've told me!" Brandon said as he tried to stop the pain from making him yell.
"Whatever...lets just go." Riven said. Helia helped Brandon stand straight since he was slouching, but to Brandon...is was pain. 'What was on that feather?' Brandon thought as he took deep breaths. Luckily no one saw. As they walked through the woods they remembered about Stella.
"STELLA!" the winx all shouted as they ran out of the forest. The specialists ran after them.
"Here we go again." Brandon mumbled as he ran after them..
4 Hours Later
The winx and specialists found Stella in the Alfea gardens. "We've...been...looking...for you..." Tecna said. Stella looked at her and closed her sketch pad.
"Did you even bother to call me?" Stella asked. The others just groaned as they realized she was right.
"We've go to go girls. See you tomorrow." Riven notified as he and the specialists got on their leva bikes. The winx just nodded and waved as they left.
'I'm so sorry Brandon...' Stella thought. She tried to forget the fact that she hurt him.
In the Girls Dorm
Stella had went to bed the minute they came back. She wanted to try and get answers from the raven. Answers that would at least give her a clue as to why she was doing this.
"Looks like Stella just needed some fresh air." Flora stated as she and Bloom entered the room they shared.
"Yea...first she's coughing and trying to breath, and now she's all fine as if nothing happened." Bloom agreed. Flora wore her silky dress that goes just above her knees, while Bloom wore a crystal blue shirt and cyan mini shorts. They talked for awhile until they fell asleep. Well..Stella was trying to sleep.
Stella's Dream:
"Kraehe..." The raven said. Kraehe didn't like the sound of her father's voice. She heard like if he was getting mad.
"Ye-yes father?" Kraehe asked.
"Why haven't you gained me a heart?!" the raven asked trying not to yell.
"Be-because tho-those WINX AND SPECIALISTS ARE ALWAYS IN THE WAY!" Kraehe shouted as she started crying.
"You have 5 more days before I kill them..." the raven threatened. Kraehe fell to the ground and started crying into her hands...
:End of Dream
Stella woke up all sweaty. 'NO! I have to gain him a heart...before those 5 days are over...' Stella thought.
At Red Fountain:
Brandon's P.O.V:
My heart was still aching. I had fallen of my bed, but the other guys didn't notice. I tried to stand up...but the pain would stop me.
I gripped the sheets and tried to stand. Once again - it didn't work. I accidentally cried out in pain.
"Ahhhhh..." I cried out...quietly. I was sure the specialists had heard it because Sky got up from his bed.
"Brandon are you okay?!" he asked me. I just nodded, but something told me that my eyes told him something else.
"I-I'm fine..." I managed to say. Sky didn't look convinced. So he yelled out...
"TIMMY!" Sky yelled. Timmy came running in with his glasses attempting to fall.
"WHAT!?" Timmy yelled. Sky pointed to me. I shook my head and tried to get up, but I couldn't. I JUST COULDN'T! I cried out in pain - again.
"Ahhhh..." they heard me cry. Helia was the next to come.
"What happened!?" he asked. Sky and Timmy pointed to me.
"STOP POINTING! I can't handle that much pressure.." I said as my heart started aching more "..ahhhhh..".
"THAT IS IT! TAKE HIM TO THE NURSE!" we heard Riven yell. They all looked at me with pleading eyes...but I just nodded. Sky and Helia grabbed me by my arms and dragged me out. What was on that feather?
...
"Okay...name?" the nurse asked with a clipboard in her hands.
"Brandon Damian Heroes." I answered her. She looked through some pages until she stopped at - what the 4th page.
"Okay...I'll call Alfea's nurse since she checked what had happened to you a couple weeks ago.." she said as she exited the room. I sighed and heard a phone vibrate. It was Helia's.
"Who are you texting Helia?" Timmy asked.
"Flora." Helia simply answered. I smirked but it suddenly turned into a frown. My heart was aching more by the second. Something in that feather had some kind of potion that caused my heart to ache.
"Um guys..." Helia started. We all looked at him.
"Y-yea?" I asked.
"Should I tell Flora where we are?" he finished his sentence. The rest nodded, but I groaned. I could see what he had texted since he is RIGHT NEXT TO ME!
We are in the hospital wing right now. ~Helia, K
My eyes widen. He won't tell Flora that I'm in the hospital wing...right? I waited a couple minutes until Helia got a reply from Flora.
Why? Who is in the hospital wing? ~Flora, L
He wouldn't! I'll make sure he doesn't tell her. He - NO HELIA!
Brandon. ~Helia, K
YOU BITCH! WHY WOULD YOU TELL HER!? UGH!
"Helia!" I shouted as he sent the message. He looked at me for my sudden outburst.
"Yes?" he asked me. Oh...that innocent look! How much I hate that look.
"Why would you tell Flora!?' I asked. He just looked away. He received the message back and I tried to see.
OH MY SWEET GOD! IS HE OKAY!? WHAT HAPPENED!? WE'RE GOING TO RED FOUNTAIN IMMEDIATELY! ~Flora, L
Great. Just great. The winx are coming and are going to start throwing questions at me. Like I'll even answer them. I'll just pretend I'm asleep. I started closing my eyes, and when I finally did - the winx burst through that door.
"IS BRANDON OKAY!? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!?" I think the voice that belonged to my SWEET sunshine yelled. I just wish I could remember who she is from my past. I mean is she my best friend? Or is she my girlfriend? Wait - slash that...I think she's my best friend...but I want to be more than that.
"Yea...he's fine. He just went to sleep." I think it was Timmy's voice that said that. I then heard...a-a NEEDLE FALL ON TE GROUND! I quickly shot right up. Man I hate needles!
"I'M OKAY!" I shouted. I then felt soft arms wrap around me. It was Stella. Wow...being in her arms...made me feel like if time stopped.
"I'm so glad..." I heard her whisper. My heart started aching more, but I didn't care. All I cared about was being in Stella's arms. I hugged her back - but more tightly.
"Don't worry...I'm o-kay." I said. But my heart started aching a lot much more...and I couldn't handle the pain any longer. "Ahhhhhh" I cried. Stella quickly broke from the hug and looked at me with worried eyes.
"You don't sound okay. Tell me what's really wrong...please..." Stella begged. I couldn't lie to her. So...I decided to tell her.
"M-my heart...every 5 minutes it starts aching more." I answered. I saw Tecna take out her pocket computer.
"Your heart can't ache unless...how did you feel when you got scratched by that feather?" Tecna asked.
"My h-heart started aching after I had gotten scratched." I answered. She then started looking something up in the computer.
"Whoa...guys that feather had a drop from the raven's blood on it." Tecna answered. Everyone's eyes widen, but I just looked at them confused.
"What's so bad about having the raven's blood in you?" I asked. Tecna was about to answer, but Timmy beat her to it.
"The raven is after you. He's after your heart Brandon..." Timmy answered. Stella's eyes widen. She covered her mouth as tears started falling from her eyes.
"But why me?" I asked. I didn't like how this conversation makes Stella feel hurt.
"Maybe because you lost your memory and don't remember many things.." Layla said.
"Then help me earn it back!" I said/shouted. They nodded and the girls sat next to their boyfriend...except Stella...who just cried onto my shoulder. I embraced her in a hug. I wasn't going to let a raven take my heart...
