Chapter 36

Bloom Escaped. We all decided to go back to Solaria after that fiasco. Stella instantly wanted to start looking for Bloom. But most of the guys new if Bloom was going to stay off the radar she wasn't going to be easy to find. It's been a week since Bloom escaped from the trails. After a massive fight I got a text.

To my surprise it was from Bloom.

Bloom: I'm fine. Don't come looking or me.

That was the whole message and that's the only thing we got from her. I guess I found it odd that she texted me and not Flora or one of the guys.

But on the bright side Nabu is back. He told everyone else about the communication thing with Bloom. Layla looked pretty mad but I think him still being alive trumps that.

So right now I am sitting here in my room, trying to work on new protection right plans for Tygon, a town on the other side of Eraklyon. Its Future King work my father would say and I get it done because I have to as my duties.

As I am trying to do this sitting on my desk, bitting the top of my pen like a dog I get a phone call.

Its Tecna.

"Hey Tec, what up?" I say casually but feeling a little concerned. Tecna normally doesn't call me.

"Sky I know it's late, and I understand if you don't want to come but I found where Bloom is hiding out." She says it slowly but my heart starts to beat faster at the mention of her name.

"Really?"

"Yeah, She's is Sparks. In the castle it's weird and I don't know how she isn't freezing to death but I guess it makes sense right." Tecna states and I nod my head forgetting she can't see that.

"Yeah… so when are you going?"

"Now."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

After having to sneak past my father and get into the ship waiting outside we head straight to Sparks. Everyone is one board the ship, all hanging out in the cockpit as usal. Heilia looks mad because Flora forced him to let her go even though she is pregnant. Stella is talking to Musa about music arrangements for her wedding.

I look around to see where Nabu is but he is not in the cockpit anymore. I walk out silently and find him at the lookout point window . Arms folded and starring out.

"Nabu?" I say and he flinches then looks back and I go join him. He stands there in silence for a while. Watching the infinite space outside the window with the scatted stars.

"How you doing…" I ask and he puts on a small smile. Its weird him being back. But a good weird.

"Well, its odd, I'm so used to people not seeing me, well except …" he drifts of and I know who he is talking about.

"When Bloom was at M.Y.A.J, she said she used to talk to you in the room, they thought-" Nabu cuts in.

"She was going crazy, I told her that after the first time they court her talking to me, that I wouldn't come back but she told me not to. She said she was lonely…" he says it quietly.

"What do you mean?"

Nabu shrugs, confused himself." I guess that place was very secluded for her, and boring and I guess she didn't want to talk to a shrink all day about her past and pain. She just needed a friend." Nabu pauses in is thoughts." But I also think it was more than that."

His last words hang in the air as silence comes between us again.

"I'm really sorry about what happened between you two, Sky." Nabu sounds genuinely sorry and I give a sad smile before he gives me a couple slaps on the back before leaving me there conflicted in my feelings again.

..-.-.-.-..-.-.-.-.-..-.-.-..-.-.-

The corridors where quit in the castle, it was dark and the only thing guiding our way was Stella with her light septer. We arrived here not long ago and it doesn't seem like anyone has been here, but that's Bloom, master of hiding.

We make it to the ball room, and the memory of the time I was stabbed by Cronus lingers in my thoughts. Times seem different then, even in those circumstances tings where somehow less complicated as they are now.

"Bloom!" Stella shouts out in the eerie silence and we all face her in her fairy form, we thought it best the girls transform just in case.

"Stella she's not a dog." Musa hisses in a whisper.

Stella scowls. "Do you have any other ideas." Musa doesn't reply to that ."I thought so."

"I don't think you should be shouting, the ice crabs could be in here I mean, we didn't see them outside." Layla says, standing very close to Nabu. I guess she is never letting him go again. We all look around for a couple of minutes and when not finding anything we decide o spilt up. I go with Stella and Brandon down the east corridor. Then all of a sudden we come across a great large gold door.

And suspiciously this door is already a jar open. Brandon and I share a look and we are thinking exactly the same thing. The three of us creep through the gap and when we get inside we are amazed. It a humongous library , the walls are filled to the top with row upon row of books. And there is book shelfs made of polished wood making a tangling maze. We keep quiet and I point for Brandon to go left and I go right, sword out ready at hand.

As I walk down between the shelfs I notice the dust and the cobwebs tangled on the books. Its gets darker as I go further and find it spooky that the shelfs seem to be getting high and closer together, but I think it's just my imagination.

"Don't move buddy" A voice comes out of the blue and I feel a sharp pint at my back. The voice is male, so its defiantly not Bloom.

"Who are you?" I say through gritted teeth, this guy has got me in a tricky situation. I feel a presence creep up behind me another slick blade resting near my throat.

"I think the question is who you are? I don't remember giving you an invitation here." He hisses in my ear. I am about to go hay wire and attack but a voice stops me.

"Sky?"

I look strait in front of me to Bloom, but she's a bit grubby and her hair is tangled in curls. She looks confused at my presence and I think she then notices my deathly situation.

"You know this guy?" The stranger asks and Bloom looks annoyed. But what gets me is that she knows this guy holding a dagger at my throat.

"Yes Buzz" She says coming closer" He's my…friend." The way she hesitates on friend makes me feel saddened, remembering we use to be so much more. Because even through right now I don't want to think about us, her saying friends brings a pain through my heart. Even now I don't wish she had this effect on me.

Bloom eyes widen at this guy." Drop the knives now Buzz." She demands and the guy behind me sighs deeply before I feel the blades leave my back and throat. The guy brushes past me, he looks a little older then me. With a nearly shaved head , his tall with a faded green jacket and work pants.

He walks over to Bloom and she shakes her head before laughing and hitting him on the back of the head.

"Hey!" This Buzz guy protests with a chuckle.

"Get back to where you're supposed to be, I am guessing the others are here, right Sky?" She asks with a smile and I just nod, not able to form words in my confusion.

"Fine, fine" He says with a smile and walks around her and disappears in the maze of bookshelves. Bloom turns back to me with a small smile.

"Sorry about him, he's not really a people person." She says this causally, I just raise my eyebrows.

"Yeah… who is again?" I ask.

"Oh, Buzz I met him at MYAJ camp. He's a friend" She says and she starts leading the way though the shelves.

"Is he stable?" It comes out doubtful, but I am a bit annoyed that she called him instead of her best friends. Or their other guys I don't know about?

Bloom looks at me and noticeably rolls her eyes. "Yes, Sky he's helped me a lot these past couple years with things. And if your wondering which I know you are, why I called him first because I need his help with something here, and secondly I didn't want to put you or anyone else in danger … I am a fugitive remember?"

I don't press her yet on what she just said because I don't want to make her angrier then she looks. By then we make it to a clearing in the centre it looks like, golden chairs and tables. One of which were Buzz is sitting reading through one of the books from the pile on the table.

Some of you might want to kill me, but I am sorry I have been busy with family stuff, I'm sick and have started cool again.

But I made a promise I would finish and write a triquel and that I shall do.

Comment, and if you have any ideas tell me.

Promise to update.
