I'm updating! This story might be ending soon- I don't know. Hope you like this chapter! It's also still Brandon's P.O.V.
Last Time on 'The Squire and Raven':
"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...
Chapter 11: The Aching Heart of a Squire: Part 2
Brandon's P.O.V:
The winx decided to stay here. I couldn't stop thinking about what they had told me a few hours ago. I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt Stella move; I told her that she could sleep with me on the hospital bed...and she accepted.
"Stella...you awake?" I asked/whispered. She looked up at me and I took that as a yes.
"How are you feeling?" she asked me "Is your heart still aching?".
"A-a little...can you ask Sky if he can show me how to use my sword?" I said. Stella nodded and got up. She walked to up Sky and shook him gently.
"Ste-Stella? What do you want?" I could hear Sky ask.
"Brandon asked if you can teach him how to use his sword.." Stella quietly said. Sky nodded. I'm getting one step closer to getting my memory back. Stella then came up to me.
"He said yes, but you need to at least start feeling better." she said softly. I nodded Dan went to sleep...
:End of P.O.V
The winx and specialists were all asleep...except Stella. She couldn't get those words out of her mind
'"The raven is after you. He's after your heart Brandon..." Timmy answered' Stella thought. 'It's all my fault...' she added. Stella then fell asleep after that thought.
Stella's Dream:
"It's all my fault...it's all my fault!" Stella said to herself.
"STOP BLAMING YOURSELF!" Stella heard someone yell. She turned around to see a girl with the darkest brunette hair and the palest skin.
"W-who are you?" Stella asked.
"I'm Princess Kraehe...princess of crows...and who are you?" the girl answered/asked.
"I-I'm Stella...princess of Solaria..." Stella answered her.
"I've got one question for you Stella..." Kraehe started. Stella gulped.
"Which is?" Stella asked. She was shaking in fear.
"Why are you working for this - monster?" Kraehe finished. Stella looked at her with concerned eyes.
"Wait - what do you mean 'monster'?" the blonde asked.
"By monster I mean my father! Don't you understand that he's using you?" Kraehe stated. Stella looked away.
"Yes - but I'm doing this to keep my friends safe!" Stella shouted.
"If you want to keep your friends safe then stop working for him!".
"How am I suppose to. He said that in 5 days he'll kill them if I don't gain him a heart!".
"FINE! But when you DO gain him a heart...don't say I didn't warn you!" Kraehe said as she pointed at Stella. Stella then fell to the ground crying.
"I wish I could stop...but I can't. He'll destroy my friends if I don't. I just want to keep them safe..." Stella sobbed. Kraehe looked away.
'Sh-she's doing this because she loves them...and probably because they would've done the same...I-I wish I had friends like hers...I have a father that's a raven and a mother that has faded...I never actually been loved back..' Kraehe thought. She then disappeared in a black spiral...leaving Stella crying in complete darkness.
:End of Dream
Stella quickly woke up. 'Wh-what should I do? Should I listen to her? Or should I continue working for this raven?' Stella thought. She looked out the window to see it was early morning.
"Stella? Honey are you okay?" she heard Flora say. Stella nodded. She didn't know Flora was awake. Flora then went outside onto the balcony leaving Stella time to think.
'I-I think I'll keep listening to the raven..." Stella thought as she made her decision.
3:45 p.m:
The specialists were teaching Brandon how to use his sword. So far...it wasn't going well.
"No! Brandon you hold the sword with the hand you write with!" Riven shouted angrily.
"Oh yea! Right." Brandon said as he switched the sword to his right hand. His heart wasn't aching as much as it was before.
"Good. Now...when an attack is coming towards you...hold the sword horizontal. Understand?" Riven instructed. Brandon scratched his head in confusion.
"What does horizontal mean?" Brandon asked.
"It means sideways.." Helia answered. Brandon nodded and held the sword horizontal. His heart all of a sudden started aching more.
"AGHH!" Brandon hissed in pain. The rest of the specialist dropped their swords/ blasters/ strings on the ground. "Brandon are you okay?" Sky asked.
Brandon looked at him. The rest gasped as they saw a little purple flame in both his eyes. "I'm fine...I just need to rest.". The specialist grabbed him by the arms and took him back to their dorm.
39 Minutes Later:
"Do you think Brandon's okay?" Helia asked. The other shrugged.
"Lets go check on him.." Sky suggested. They nodded and entered Brandon and Sky's dorm room...to see Brandon standing on the railing!
"BRANDON!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!?" Riven shouted. Brabdon turned around and narrowed his eyes at him while smirking.
"What do you mean what am I doing?" Brandon asked.
"Quit acting like a bitch Brandon and start acting like yourself!" Sky demanded. Brandon was now fully facing them...still standing on the railing.
"Fine! You want me to act like myself...then I'll do as you say!" Brandon said as he kept on standing on the railing. The specialists eyes widen as they knew what he was going to do next. Brandon jumped off the railing..
"Hahaha!" they could hear Brandon laugh evilly. The specialists immediately went to the railing to see Brandon falling.
At the Same Time:
The winx were still in Red Fountain talking about the raven...until Flora saw Brandon falling off the railing.
"OH MY GOD! BRANDON JUMPED OFF THE RAILING!" Flora shouted. Stella quickly turned around and saw Brandon falling.
"BRANDON WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Stella asked/shouted. She couldn't handle seeing him fall..."SIRENIX SUN BOARD!" she shouted. Brandon then landed on a crystal yellow shield. Stella then ran to him, kneeled down and hugged him.
"Why'd you jump off?" Stella asked as tears fell form her brown eyes. Brandon hugged her back and placed his head on her chest.
"I-I don't know...something...was controlling me..." Brandon shuttered. Stella knew exactly why.
'The raven blood is controlling you my love...and it's all because of me..' Stella thought sadly. The specialists then came out of their dorm room and onto the quad.
"BRANDON ARE YOU STUPID!? WHY THE HELL DID YOU JUMP OFF!?" Riven shouted. Brandon didn't say anything. Stella started stroking his hair and answered for him.
"H-he said something's controlling him..." she answered softly. Riven then scaled down and looked at Timmy and Tecna. Tecna completely understood why he was looking at them. She took out her pocket computer and started researching about it.
"The raven blood is doing this to him. Sooner or later Brandon will be committing suicide." Tecna stated. Stella started crying more.
'It's all because of me...I'm the one who's doing this to him..." the sun and moon fairy thought.
"Then Brandon must stay in his form room with someone looking after him." they heard someone say. They all turned around to see Headmaster Saladin.
"Yes...but what about classes?" Timmy asked. Saladin sighed.
"You will be excused from classes until we find out how to take the raven's blood out of Brandon." Saladin explained. The specialists nodded and looked at Brandon to see 2-3 tears fall from his eyes.
"What happens if I hurt my friends?" Brandon asked. Saladin just closed his eyes and walked away. Stella looked at down at Brandon still stroking his hair.
"Don't worry Brandon...everything's going to be okay.." Stella said while trying to convince herself more than Brandon. She felt Brandon nod.
'I'm going to find out how to stop this...no matter what it takes...' Stella thought..
Okay! This story is going to be ending soon! How'd you like Brandon's suddact acting? Didn't expect that huh? Well...now we're almost going to find out what Stella's going to do...and sorry if it's short..
