I also posted chapter 14 at the same time so don't get confused. Read this first.
(Bloom POV)
"Bloom, is that you?" The voice echoes through the cave. My bones ache, I over did it with the great dragon ride to get here. Damn, it takes a lot out of me.
"Yeah, Mya It's me" I say realizing it took longer than someone should have to replied. The dark elderly woman appears from the corner of the cave. She smiles when she sees me and when I reach her, she gives me a hug.
"I thought you would be gone all day?" Mya questions as I flop on to a leather couch on the side of the dome shaped cave. It's weird having home deco placed in a hole of stone, but these days it's my home, you get used to it.
I slap my hand on my forehead and groan in exhaustion."Yeah, well it wasn't just Stella; it was everyone including you knows who…"
Mya has come accustom to using you know who as a code for Sky. It's been two years living here in my caveman sheik of a home, but as I said before, you get used to it. And having Mya as, well a roommate makes this place priceless.
"Everyone? why would they all be there? Did something happen…" Mya steps over to the other end of the room and gets a cloth before dipping it in a bucket and walking over to me. "Bloom… You're over doing it with your power, we've talked about what can happen and will happen if you don't spread out its uses"
I sigh deeply, this is not the first time she has ever told me this before." I know Mya, I will slip in to a trance and be between life and death, and to sum it all up I could possibly …die." I drag on, repeating the fate that could happen to me.
Mya just looks at me with eyes that make me very nervous now, but she looks away and softens as she continues to dab the wet cloth on my head, soothing my brain.
"Fine, it is clear that you understand even though you still behaviour the way you do, you pasted the test of the dragon fire, but the great dragon is a living thing and it gets just as tired as you can… And with you friends was it because of restoring Sparks? "
Mya is the only one that knows about much about my research on Sparks than anyone else. It's comforting to know that unlike most people she supports me. She helps me.
"Yes, they think it's not a very good idea, and it's not like I've heard it before." I complain as Mya walks away, leaving me with the cool cloth on my forehead.
"Look, they're worried about you also there kingdoms and planets, lifting a curse as powerful as the one on Sparks is very dangerous …and I am guessing that's why you know who was there…"
I want to retort back, really want to. But she has a point and I have come a custom at not denying them anymore.
"I understand Mya… it just hurt to see him again you know…" I say softly, remembering Sky as what we use to be, not as individuals. Life has become too complicated and unfair I just want the ground to swallow me alive. And it won't be a hard thing to do in Pyros considering the amount of volcanoes you can fall into.
Mya comes back to sit beside me on the couch, with makes a funny sticky air sound. "It's been a long time; just don't feel like you can't trust them. At this moment you need them to help you with this and I know they want to." She tucks a piece of my long straggly red hair behind my ears.
"I want their help… But what if they get hurt because of it… I could never forgive myself." I whisper. We sit together in the silence of our thoughts before I stand, a little wobbly but get a good stance.
"I will start making dinner then…." Mya says and I smile and nod.
"Thank you Mya." I say and she looks at me confused.
"For what, dear"
"For everything."
Let's just say my room looking like a murder case is an understatement. Picture, arrows, weapons, paper, artefacts and photos are scattered on the walks of my room all to do with the one thing I am trying to bring back, my rightful home. I lie down on my bed and scream into my pillow, out of spite and frustration. You would think after three years of not seeing him I would have moved on.
After that day I ended it, it wasn't until it was time to teach at Alfea did I get out of my room on Earth. I must have at least cried 20 rivers and it didn't help when we still tried to contact me, or even send Brandon to see what was wrong, but I did nothing. I said noting. Not even about what his father did, never. Even though for the past few days I have been saying things with a too close accusation to Sky, and I know he sees the hidden meaning, he just doesn't know what it means.
I have tried denying it, I can actually say for years. But I miss him and now he's got that real princess. Even though her father is physico path, killing people for sacrifice magic and who knows what else. I should really tell Sky but it's not my place, not anymore.
I really miss him….
Sky POV
I walk into my room. Tired, hungry…angry. Why is she so difficult I think again and again? Trying to grasp a single answer. Even though the ones hovering in my heard are all true I just can't seem to want to get them just yet.
I turn around to my bed and Camila sits on the edge looking up at me. I jump not expecting anyone. Some warrior I am, I think to myself.
"Sorry if I startled you" She says with a little giggle and stand up from the bed. She gives me a quick peck on the lips and stands in front of me with a nervous smile. "Are you okay?"
"Yes…sorry, I'm just out of it today." I wince with a pathetic laugh and walk past, after giving her a reassuring kiss on the forehead. Although today I don't feel anything while doing the gesture. In the back of my mind it feels wrong. I start to unchanging take off my coat, slowly at how tired and drained I have become. Camila walks up to be with an almost suspicious look.
"So… How was the meeting in Solaria?"
I stop what I am doing for a second. My heart jumps of how she knew about that and more importantly what know she suspects.
"A waste of time" I say, which is actually true.
"Oh" She is a bit confused by this by then straightening up." So Bloom didn't show up?"
I grit my teeth at the name but after taking off my coat turn back to her. She eyeing me in a way I haven't seen before. Maybe it's because the need to mention Bloom's name had never come up before.
"She did" I say simply shrugging" But she wasn't willing to talk about anything, including the woman the other night."
Camila nods along pieces of puzzles come together of something. "Well she will have to talk eventually; you told me she knew the woman and her accusations were way out there. The Magic council would see this and-"
"NO!" I say very quickly "No… Believe me Bloom first of all won't let that happen, and Camila, Blooms had to deal with a lot from the Magic Council, including Uther. I could do that to her again…"
Camila looks a little uncomfortable by my abruptness and stands on edge and shows nervousness.
"Okay…" She whispers. I feel very guilty all of a sudden and ty to come up with something to say.
"Camila I'll find out about the woman okay, the guards are still searching for her." I reassure
"And Bloom…" She continues, strain in her voice
"Camila" I sigh" I told you about my history with her, and that's exactly what it is history, so don't go thinking anything else is going to happen alright." I say and rest my hands on her shoulders saying this in to her eyes. She nods slowly.
"I believe you" She smiles and nods and I straighten and nod assuredly. She is about to leave when she comes back reminded of soothing.
"Oh, and your father has organised our proper engagement party in two days... whih means our wedding will be exactly one year from that day." Camila beams. I smile a genuine smile and try to look excited.
"That's great" I beam and she does also looking very happy.
"Well then good night see you in the morning." She says and she smiles slightly and walks out my room. For some reason I think I shouldn't be happy. And I think I would have been if it weren't for the jealousy that seemed to seep from Camila's word. The way she says Blooms name, the fact she couldn't wait to get it over with.
I do care for Camila. We have been together for a while now and we have slept together but it was missing something. Something I could only remember having with…Bloom. I curse to myself for even thinking that. She left you, I remind myself. She left you.
Hey guys sorry this taken so long but as a treat because I feel so bad for making you wait so long I posted the next chapter as well at the same time ,enjoy.
