Week 52: Flower

Prompt: Write a chapter from one of the story you really like, but never finished.

A/N: Gloom and Pri are back! I really like them and I didn't get to write them a lot so here they are again. It is the next chapter after the one I wrote at week 17.

----

*Gloom's POV*

I'm still trying to get over this dreadful meeting I had with my mother. Urgh, that word still sounds so weird and gross to say. I shake my head, trying to forget about all of this and check my mask once more, trying to figure out the location of the person that I might need to guide to the Underworld. I'm in the alps right now and it's a bit hard to find my way around here... Let's say I'm glad to have my wings now.

I fly around until I finally find him, he is climbing what looks like a really dangerous slope. I can hear his friends guiding him climbing up. Suddenly, a big rush of wind burst out of nowhere, making the climber loose his grip and balance. No matter how much Death I have seen, I still get nervous and anxious seeing it. I hold my breath and wait for the inevitable... That doesn't come, his harness does it's job at keeping alive, I can see his friends already on their way to help as his name slowly fade away in my mask. I let out a breath of relieve. Going to the Underworld from here is such a long walk... I'm glad I don't have to do it!

I decide to stick around for a while, there is something I would really like to find for our home. You see, Pri and I now have this habit to bring each other flowers. We have a small pot especially for this on the kitchen table and the one I gave him last week isn't looking so alive anymore. And I really like to find flowers that have meaning since I still struggle to express my feelings in words... So I do it with flowers. Today, I am trying to find an edelweiss flower since it means devotion. I know it's really cheesy, but that's just how I feel around him.

I finally find some but unluckily for me they are still small buds, I'm too early in the year for them to be all bloomed and beautiful... I look around, making sure I am alone and use my Power to make them bloom faster. I feel a bit weird using my mother's power to do it, but at the same time, I had this power all my life... they are mine too... Not hers... Atleast the sight of the flower makes it all worth it. Some people wouldn't find this flower really romantic or beautiful enough for a bouquet, but I can't help but like it. They are so unique and I think that's what make them amazing. I gently pick up one and for some reason I sit on a nearby boulder and enjoy the view. I feel like i have to stay a bit longer, my proscrastination I guess.

After a while, I hear someone huffing and puffing. I look in the direction of the sound and I see a woman around my human age walking down a small path that I didn't notice before. She notices me and give me a small wave that I give back while I stand back up, getting ready to leave, I really wanted to be alone. As I get at her level she gasps and point at the flower in my hand ''You found one?''

''Huh...''

''Where?''

And I point where I made the flower bloom and she runs to it without being careful of where she is putting her feet. I can see her slips mutiple times, but she is really good at getting her balance back. There is something about her that makes me turn back to the flower spot too. I can hear her screaming and laughing while picking one flower really carefully. She looks back at me and says ''I thought I was too early for them to be blommed! I'm so glad I found one!''

''Yeah... Me too.'' I respond while rubbing the back of my head. She then explains to me how she woke up really early this morning to go on this hike to find this really specific flower for her boyfriend. It's their 5 years anniversary together and it's with an edeilwess flower that he asked her to be his girlfriend. I can't help but smile while she is talking about how happy and in love she is. Once she is done she says that she should be on her way, her boyfriend must be awake by now. We wave each other goodbye and as she turns around, her feet slips again, she lets out a small scream of fear and I reach out to catch her backpack that I pull back toward me. She wraps her arms around me out of fear and I let her calm down for a bit ''Becareful on your way down, okay?''

''Thank you so much! You saved my life right there, I really thought that was it! I will, bye!''

''Bye.''

I let out a big sigh and I raise my hand up, about to snap my fingers to get back home, but someone push me back really roughly. I take a few steps back, trying not the fall and I look up to see who did that and I can feel my anxiety rising inside of me when I see who's in front of me. Another Angel of Death. One that doesn't particularly like me. He crosses his arms on his chest and looks at me with deadly eyes ''Why did you save her? You now really well we are not suppose to intervene in the Humans' life!''

''I don't know!'' I answer without really thinking ''I guess I'm too used of being around clumsy humans and just grabbed her out of habits!''

He scoffs and stares at me with disgust and hate clear on his face ''Your father will hear about this!'' and without waiting for an answer, he fly away. I sit back on my boulder and put my face in my hands. I feel so stupid now, I know pretty well that I'm not suppose to save humans' live, but I acted without thinking back there... Like I had to do it... Was she really suppose to die today? I guess so since he was there, but still. It felt right to me to help her. Well, better get out of here before I make another mistake. I snap my finger and land right on the couch, beside Pri that let out a small scream of fear ''Oh hell, Gloom, a warning next time! You scared me so- Are you okay?''

I mumble something that even I can't understand and wrap my arms around him. He wraps his arms around me and whispers ''I'm right here when you are ready to talk.'' I melt even more in his arms and only nods to tell him that I heard him. I don't feel like talking right now and I'm so glad that he never pushes me to do so when I don't want to.

*Third's POV*

Right after Gloom teleported away, a Guardian angel with cream-white wings walk out of her hidding spot with a satisfied grin. She fly away right back to Beatrice where she explains everything that happened. Beatrice looks proud and asks ''So he really did save her?''

''He did!''

''Amazing, now find a way to give him his necklace. Use any means necessary.''

''I will.''

Beatrice hands her the necklace and the Angel fly away to achieve her mission. Beatrice looks in the distance and says to herself ''I'm proud of you son. You will  become the best Guardian I have ever seen I can feel it.''
