Love Can't Be Denied

The Beast

The creature opened its mouth and a stream of fire poured out, igniting whatever it touched in a searing blaze. The girls moved out of its way and blasted weak spells at it to keep it distracted so others could get closer to it. "What do we do? We can't hurt her!" Stella shouted at the others, sending a ball of light at it.

"Maybe some fairy dust might help?" Musa suggested. Everyone agreed and activated their individual dust bottles. They covered the creature they presumed to be Bloom in the sparkly dust and it shrunk down, a dark residue melting from it, into the water, turning it a murky black. "Bloom?" They inched toward the center, looking for their friend.

A clot of red hair surfaced so they followed it, looking for her body in the water. When they all found a grip on her, they lifted her up out of the water and flew her onto dry land, laying her in a patch of grass. Tecna took her vitals and waited for the results. "She's alive, but extremely weak. She won't survive much longer"

"We're not that far from Alfea. We can get her to Nurse Ophelia" Flora pointed out and thy nodded. Tecna put her in a fire box so her body isn't moving too much and they took her to the school for fairies, and from there, the nurse's office. "Nurse Ophelia! We need your help!"

The six entered the office and the sweet nurse came from a closet, a smile on her face until she saw the fire box that held Bloom inside. "What happened?" She pointed to a med table and Bloom was placed on it.

"My computer's picking up that there was an unstable negative energy in her system...a curse that's been there for awhile. We broke it, but...it took a lot out of her" Tecna looked up from her computer over to Bloom.

"Thank you, girls. She's in good hands at Alfea. I'll notify you when I'm done" Ophelia ushered the girls out and went to Bloom, focusing her healing magic on the red head.

ON ERAKLYON

Daphne woke up from her nap and wondered if she should check on the guys or go check out the Eraklyon library. Library it is! Closing the door to her temporary room, she went down the corridor, a flight of stairs, and another corridor until she reached the golden entrance of the grand library. She pulled open one of the doors and slipped inside. She looked around in awe of the many, many, many, many, many books that Eraklyon had to offer and she just wanted to read each one of them.

Walking over to a shelf, she grabbed the first book that caught her eye: a spell book that had some weird incantation on it. She opened it slowly and a green spark erupted from the pages. A picture of a monster was placed in front of her and she stared in awe as the letters around it formed together. "Beware the cursed fire; beware the Monster; reverse the darkness or doom shall fall on everyone" Daphne read out loud.

Afterwards, she felt weak and the room started to spin. She dropped the book and fell on her side, and was about to pass out before she was stable again. She flipped through the book and looked for a cure, a potion, a spell, anything to it. "Fairy dust?! For a dangerous spell, sure has an easy remedy" she chuckled and put the book away.

Daphne got up and felt her phone in her pocket. She picked it up. "Hello?"

"Daphne! We found Bloom, but... she's not doing too well. She was cursed, but we fixed it...but she's really weak" Musa said through the phone. "She's at Alfea"

"I'm on my way" she transformed and teleported onto the school grounds, flying in Alfea and going to the infirmary where the girls were waiting for her in the hallway. "How is she?"

"She'll be just fine" the nurse walks out, a smile on her face. "You all can go see her if you'd like to. That negative energy took a lot out of her, but she should recover soon" she left them and went to her office.

The group of friends went over to where their favorite red head was as she started sitting up. She smiled up at them and they returned it. "How ya feeling?" Musa asked. Before she could answer, Daphne threw her arms around her sibling tightly and started rambling about how scared she was making everyone laugh.

"I feel great...honestly" Bloom smiled brightly, as if more positive energy was held in her than the entire dimension.

ONE WEEK LATER

A week had passed and Bloom and Sky were officially re-engaged, much to everyone's relief. Oritel apologized for the entire fiasco and promised not to make such rash decisions ever again. All the agony and pain that seemed to linger over the planets, now dispersed and the Sun(s) of them all could shine freely on even the darkest parts.
