(Sky's POV)
I stop and lean against the cave. Clenching my fists, my knuckles turning white. That's not how I wanted it to end. Yes, I regret some things I said but I just want her to be like the old Bloom. She doesn't realize what she does when she shuts everyone out and it makes me want to scream. I really should not have yelled at her like that, especially in her condition. Why, oh why is she so stubborn? But something must be terribly wrong if she won't tell me what she talks' about with my father.
At least she told me the truth about King Miler. Even if it was hard to hear, and I am still praying that she was mistaken. I have no idea what to do with that so I push it away, far way to into my thoughts.
I calm myself and proceed to the living room, where Mya is holding a bundle of cloth that squiring around. Then a head pops up and I realize it's a dragon, a baby. Mya spots me from the couch and gets up with the creature.
"How's Bloom doing?" She asks with a calm smile. I wonder if she heard the yelling. She probably did since we are in a cave that echoes.
"Ah… she was tired so I let her rest" I lie and Mya doesn't question it. She nods along and the dragon makes a move and Mya laughs at him.
"Who's this" I gesture to her companion.
"Oh, I found him, he was sick so me and Bloom take care of him" Mya beams at me, with her happy crinkles at the side of her eye.
"Does he have name?" I ask.
"Caelum" Mya replies gently patting his head.
"I have never heard of that name before." I question, furrowing my eyebrows.
"Me either, Bloom picked it. Said it was Latin for something, some earth language." Mya replies and I nod my head along. A quick glance at my watch and I say farwell to Mya and before I head back to Eraklyon.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I sneak back into my bed it's still dark here in Eraklyon, but it won't be for long. Caelum. I don't know why this not knowing what it means, bugs me out of everything that happened under that cave.
So I grab my phone from the dresser and search up LATIN EARTH on the search engine. It comes up with the background of what the Latin language is and a translator. C.A.E.L.U.M. When it comes up with the translation I am confused. Thinking there must be mistake. But I find my heart warms up a bit when the translation clear as a crystal says
Sky
(Bloom POV)
Today I am excited because Flora is coming to check up on me. I miss her company. And after my latest visitor I could have a new face around here. I know what Sky was saying was right, I know. But I have a point to that I don't want to be responsible for anyone else getting hurt.
There's a gentle knock on the door and I tell them to come in. Flora appears through the door then Heilia as well. I am confused to what he is doing here.
"Hey… Flora…Heilia "I say with a smile. Flora turns to Heilia, as if she only just realised he was there.
"Heilia, I told you to wait outside, I'm fine." Flora quietly hisses to her husband, who doesn't look to hell bent on going.
"Flora, just take it easy." He warns, Flora sighs, and smiles softly as she nods her head. Heilia gives me a smile and closes the door behind him.
"What was that about?" I ask curious myself. I know Heilia to be very protective of Flora but not over protective.
"…Nothing" She brushes off, leaving it maybe a little too late. Her cheeks are flush and I squint my eyes at her. She then just laughs at me. "Sweetie I'm fine… now let's look at you"
For the rest of the time, while Flora is replacing the bandage and performing some quiet healing spells, I watch. I watch very closely but find no difference. We stay silent for a while during the check-up but I feel something weird. Normally I feel life forces; only magical beings can feel it. But what makes me un easy is that there are only two people in the room, when something is telling me there is three.
"Hey Flo, do you feel that?" I ask looking around as she is tying up my bandage.
"Feel what Bloom?" She looks at me confused. I think I am being over dramatic and just presume its Heilia still waiting outside.
"Ha, never mind." I laugh at myself. "I just felt like there was another person in here."
Flora at that moment, at my last comment is also is tying the last knot on my bandage and she pulled a little too tight. I wince and look at Flora who seems a bit flustered all of a sudden.
"OW! Flo, what was that for?" I come off a bit grumpy by the shock of the pain.
"Sorry, I just um forgot something out side, um I'll be back…" Flora seems nervous. I feel a bit guilty all of a sudden and reach for her hand.
"Hey Flora, are you sure you're okay?" I ask worried that my friend is in trouble or something. Flora smiles and I know it's fake.
"I'm fine, I told you… now I just have to go-"She tries to pull away from my grasp as she is sitting on my bed side.
"Flora, I might be half dead but I know something isn't right, so you can tell me … I'm good at keeping secrets these days" I say with a cheeky smile. Flora sighs seems like she is surrendering and she shuffles along my bed side so she is closer to my head, propped up on some more pillows so my back is straighter up.
"Well…" Flora says, dragging on the suspense and she looks at her fingers, fiddling them in her lap. I beam my eyes wide at her, this might actually kill me the waiting … the worry.
"I'm pregnant." Floras mouth curls up into a smile. I think I forgot for a second the meaning of that word and when it registers I forgot about the pain in my side.
"Oh MY GOD!" I scream and jump up from me lying on my back and strangle her with my arms.
"Honey, please you squeezing me." She pleads and I get off quicker then ever and hold both of her hands.
"How long?" I ask, I couldn't be happier. This could be my medicine from now on.
"About a month, Heilia and I wanted to wait for a bit before-"Flora is interrupted by the door swinging open by Heila and his eyes look frantic. I guess my scream was little too loud.
"Gosh Heilia, where fine." Flora gets to her feet and goes over to a relived Heilia, leaning on the door handle. By the way Heilia looks, flushed and panting he must have had a bit of a run.
"You get lost?" I tease; these tunnels are pretty confusing if you don't know where you're going.
"Yes…" Heilia wheezes giving me a mocked annoyed look before Flora reaches him. They hug, Heilia holding on tight. I feel a pang jealousy spree inside. I wish I still had someone like that….
The happy couple come closer to my bed side and Heilia loops his arms around Flora shoulders keeping her close.
"So I was saying before" Flora rolls her eyes at Heilia. Unnoticed by him of course" We wanted to wait to tell everyone a bit later, just to make sure everything is going to be fine and all."
I nod and smile. All of a sudden a wave of emotion hits me. Flora, my best friend. Someone who has been by my side for years no matter what. The girl how I spent most time then most with the girls was going to be a mother. Something I know she wanted for a while.
I start to let tears drizzle down my cheeks, and laugh and cry "Oh look what you've done Flora "I tease and wipe my eyes.
"Why are you crying?" she asks softly pulling away from Heilia and coming to sit next to me on the bed.
"I'm just really happy for you..." I whisper and hug her again. More softly then last time.
"Thank you" Flora whispers back happily holding on to me to. I pull away and smile at her then both of them.
"Well, I guess a congregation is in order." I cheer.
"Thank you Bloom" Heilia says sincerely and that's when Flora turns to Heilia and tells him to wait outside while she finishes checking on me. Flora then quietly comes back and sits by me again.
" Bloom, you know my secret now, it's time to tell me one of yours." She says softly. At first I am confused as what she is asking of me, I'm not pregnant, but my eyes narrow slightly when recognising.
"What secret's that?" I whisper, looking at her as she sighs and adjusts herself onto the bed.
"Why you left Sky…." She whispers back, searching my face. She makes me seem so vulnerable. But maybe I am. Maybe it's time to let people in again, to let my friends in again after so long.
I try to say something, but the words don't seem to be forming in my mind. Well she could judge me for my reason?
"Bloom, I know this is eating you alive, just tell me and I promise I won't tell anyone." Flora reassures as grabs my hand like I grabbed hers.
"Because of what his father did." I say clearly and Flora looks concerned but nods along.
"What did he do Bloom?"
"He gave the ancestral witches information on Sparks to spare his Planet from destruction, he betrayed my birth father. He is one of the main reasons why my planet is covered in ice." There it is, the words are out and I don't see any clear expression on Flora's.
"So the day before you broke it off with Sky…" Flora drags on and I nod.
"He told me I was his living reminder of what he did… Why was it Sky, out all the people to fall in love with-" I babble on, not realising I am sobbing at this point. I am so tired of this I am crying. Flora engulfs me in a hug, I didn't want to cry, well I cried happy tears but not sad. Flora just rocks me back and forth, like a fragile doll and I soon drift of to the land of sleep.
