Sparks through Time

Chapter 13: Curiosity Killed the Cat

A little way down the road....

"Thank you so much for letting me stay here, Maya" King Oritel said while comfortably sitting in a rock arm chair. "I would do anything to help Bloom's family members." Maya said, warming up a cup of tea for him. "Other than letting me stay here, I need you to keep this only between you, Marion, and me. I can't have anyone else involved in this. It's already a pain having Marion know about this- she is in real danger, so for now she will stay at the palace and not leave." Oritel said. "Very well. I hope you don't mind me asking but, what happened? What are you running away from?" She asked. "More like who. A very bad sorceress with unimaginable danger has come back from my past. Villain, you could say. She is called Electra. She has been after me for a while since I became king and is after the royal jewels and well the throne though I still never understood why specifically the Domino Throne and not any other." Oritel explained. "I see, hiding here won't stop her from searching." Maya responded calmly handing Oritel his tea. "I know, but for now you're the best I have. Thank you."

Flora's POV:

Aisha went over the line yesterday at the ball. I can't believe she said something like that. I mean I understand she struggles over Nabu and I guess is a bit peer pressured and left out but that was 2 years ago. It wouldn't be easy to get over Helia that fast god forbid something would happen but still. I wonder if she has anything to hide. What is the secret grudge she is holding against Bloom? What has Bloom ever done to her? If not, Aisha was the one to always cause problems- maybe if I ask Stella or Tecna we could go and investigate though it is pretty mean to investigate about someone behind their back especially when they're in your club but we're talking about Bloom here so it is worth it.

I stood up and walked towards Stella's fortress {room}, she has her own room up there haha. "Hey Stel, I have a question" I asked her. She was doing her nails while magically doing herself a pedicure too. "Flo- can't you see I am a little busy?!" She exclaimed not looking up from her nails. "Its important, it's about Bloom." "What really? Okay one sec." She answered still not looking up but snapping her finished left hand and the color automatically appeared on her finger nails and toe nails perfectly dry too. "Okay. Done. Talk" She said while festively plopping herself onto her manifested pink striped bed and looking wide eyed at me. 

"Stella. I think that Aisha has something against Bloom. Since the engagement she has been acting weird and uncomfortably odd. Do you notice how she charms up around Sky? I mean I don't like to point fingers but last week she wore a very tight and low cut blouse and was quite near Sky instead of Roy. And plus she always tries to take the opportunity to show off her skills. What do you think?" I asked slowly. Stella has been very still during my talk with her- I hope she finds this reasonable and not judgmental. "First of all, I knew it! I knew we couldn't trust her! It's all part of her little sick game! You know what I think we should do? We should track down her sources, everywhere she went, who she called, and-" Stella was already getting her phone ready to call Tecna. "Woah Stel calm down, All I needed was your opinion and well I guess we already have a plan..." I said but I noticed that Stella was already on the phone with Tecna telling her about the new side mission.

Sky's POV:

I was at Domino sitting on Bloom's royal bedroom couch reading a magazine on the latest politic descendants. Sounds skeptic but I read these kind of magazines now since I am king. I am waiting for Bloom to get out of the shower- I decided to stay with her for a while even though it breaks all the regulations of separating the bride and groom before their big day which is in 5 days may I add. And yes I am so fucking nervous. I don't usually use language this foul but for now I guess it works. Josh Guarnillarme, the highest status monarch through his family's nobility. Boring. I can't stand this nonsense, it's all the same anyway, the rich man and his family start out poor ad then suddenly this man brings out the teeniest comment or gossip and creates the plague of business and then becomes rich and voila, he is the hero. Brava, I don't care. I start to walk around Bloom's chamber a bit while she dries up since I heard the shower head stop. Her room is quite decorated, silver crystals on her terrace door frame. Though I see this teeny piece of wallpaper ripped in the corner. That looks odd- I never saw it there before.
