Sky POV
My father, after finding out that we had gone to Acrom was coming to help. And now he is dead. For the past few years my father and I were getting along again, but only realizing that was because he was happy that Bloom was out of the picture. But when I was younger there were moments between the ones were he was hard that made me see the man he was truly underneath the King of Eraklyon.
And now that he is gone, that leaves the roll to me.
With my fathers death I feel apart of me almost empty. A numbness and pain that sits in the bottom of my stomach.
I am sitting on the end of my bed now, I listening to the TV. The news story has been on repeat of the resurrection of Sparks, and many people flocking to the planet. The brave death of my father. And the savior Bloom…
An hour ago was my father's funeral. Thousands of people of Eraklyon showed up, holding candles on the gardens of the castle. A big memorial stone now stands there for where my father is buried.
The Winx and Specialists came, and I appreciate their support. Royals across the Dimensions came, including Camilla.
When Oritel and Miriam showed up at first I was surprised. But realized that my parents had a past with Sparks, and even though form what happened, by the way my mother hugged Miriam they seemed like they were once the best of friends. Daphne also appeared with them and I was looking for Bloom. But she never showed up.
I felt a mixture of relief that she didn't come. Considering I have so many emotions running through me that I don't know if I could deal with seeing her face right now. But I also feel disappointed; by her not being they're… by my side.
After the funeral I came back to my room, as I am now thinking and blocking out of what I can, about what is to come. Things are going to change.
"Sky?" I look over and notice my mother walking in. She has been holding herself together for the past week. But I notice she isn't coping as well as she thought she is portraying. She always seems tired, not just from crying, but from the fact she can't sleep with out my father by her side.
" Mother." I acknowledge softly and she comes to sit next to me on the bed. I find it odd my mother is here. We haven't had a very close relationship, but I guess that was me, being away from her a lot with school.
"It was good of King Oritel and Queen Miriam to come along to today." She says, with a sad smile, and I nod" They said Bloom, couldn't make it and she pays her condolences…"
I flinch at her name; I would at least have thought she would have come for me today. But I guess where strangers almost to each other now. After all the things we have said to each other and after we have been through.
" Miriam and I use to be quite close." My mother states. I don't mind listening to my mother talk, if she needs me to, I will listen. My mother softly chuckles." When she had Bloom we planned on getting you two married-"
My mother cuts short and I look at her with wide eyes, confused by her statement. My mother looks apologetic." Sorry I shouldn't talk about her, should I?"
" What?" I question, why haven't I ever heard about this before.
"Oh" my mothers eyes widen for a second before telling." Well, since your father and Oritel were quite close, Miriam and I always spent a lot of time together when we traveled from place to place. And when she had Bloom we where thinking that to make the alliance between our kingdoms stronger your fathers would have you marry." She laughs a little." You two were so cute together."
" Bloom and I had met before?" I ask, trying to wrap my head around this.
My mother nods." You wouldn't have remembered it you were only about 1 year old and Bloom was a few weeks. You kept looking at her little face with such wonder at that age. But things changed when Sparks was destroyed."
This new information is in a sense irony. Some how a rather Bloom and I were destined to always know each other. I wonder if Sparks had not been cursed, if we would be in love like we use to be. And that hurt to think… us to be.
" Why didn't I ever hear about this?" I question and my mother's face drops.
"Your father never liked to talk about anything to do with Sparks, and when you two were together I was happy, but your father couldn't stand the idea and told me never to mention it."
Processing this new information baffles me. I had met Bloom before.
"I um… I am just going to go for a walk to clear my head." I mummer out, a little shocked by the new information.
" Of course" My mother replies and I stand up and give her kiss on the forehead. I am half way to the door when my mother calls my name.
"Sky" I turn around and see her with a small smile" Everything is going to be okay."
-.-..-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-..-
I walk around the palace for a bit. Feeling lost even in my own home. But sooner then later I end up in the royal gardens and 40 meters away from my father's grave. Maybe I will always come here now for my fathers guidance, which he can now and never give me.
I am about to walk to the large in built coffin gravestone, now lit with the candles from earlier when I see someone out of the corner of my eye approaching, I hide behind a tree and watch as the figure approaches. My heart twists when I see its Bloom.
I was expecting to see her in a new extravagant dress, since she is the official princess of Sparks now. But she wears just some jeans and a shirt, looking casual. I don't know what to think when she sits in front of my fathers grave.
Its seems like a long time she is just sitting there, and I am about to walk out when she starts talking.
"Hi Erendor…" she pauses." Its um Bloom." She sounds a little awkward. She laughs sadly.
"Sorry, probably should address you more formally but…I um… I need to say something to you."
I listen carefully as she begins." Well, since I was young and my parents told me I was adopted I felt a little hole appear in me. It always felt like I never knew who I truly was and I searched forever on earth to find that little part of me that could fill a void that kept growing bigger. Obviously I never did…" she smiles sadly.
"But when I came here, that empty part of me I felt get fuller. I felt like a belonged somewhere for once. The Winx… Sky… they helped me so much to find who I am but of course there was always the question of my planet and parents. I needed to know them, and once they was a chance to save them I took it and never gave up."
She pauses and I feel my heart become heavier by the minutes she continues." -And when I found out that you, of all people, were one of the main reasons that I never knew them crushed me, made me furious to think that. So I pushed Sky away, not because you asked, but because I couldn't cope with that anger in a healthy way, I didn't want to hurt him…"
I hear the sniffles from Bloom now, she is crying. " I understand now that it was your planet or mine, you had no choice and… Erendor… I forgive you… and right now I wish I could say that to your face."
" You saved my life, and like you asked me." Bloom lets out another sob." I promised I would protect Sky, and I will no matter what, okay… you gave your life so I could save my planet and no matter what is said Erendor, you saved Sparks, my people, my parents… you saved me."
" Thank you Erendor." She whispers, composing her self and I watch as she stretches out a hand and out form beautiful Blue and white roses at the base f My fathers grave.
That day at Acrom seems so much clearer of his death. But too many emotions run through me now and I can't find my self to grasp one, when I feel so confused but level minded at the same time
I watch as Bloom leaves and disappears into the night.
