Evil Rises Again

Chapter 15

As we got closer to the cave entrance Tecna scanned it to make sure that everything was all cleared. She told us that it was cleared and we headed in. Something was not right to me about it. It was too easy to get through. I could see the other girls being as causes as I was. We got to the center of the cave and I heard someone scream,

"BLOOM!"

I turned around and saw the guys. Sky was screaming my name. We all ran over to the guys. They were trapped in some type of jail. I looked at them and screamed,

"Everyone stand back!"

I conjured up the dragon fire and blasted the bars open. We were about to approach the guys. Musa ran over to Riven. But right then there was growl behind the girls. In the shadows were some type of creatures.

*Musa's POV*

I ran over to Riven and kneeled down to him. I ran my fingers through his hair. I looked over to see the girls fighting with some type of creatures. Bloom screamed to me,

"Stay with Riven. I will be there as soon as possible."

I nodded and I looked down to Riven. He smiled up to me weakly and said,

"Musa is that you?"

"Yeah Riven, I'm here. So is the others. Bloom will be here to heal you soon." I explained.

"I trust you. Are you alright Angel?" Riven asked weakly.

"You are asking if I'm alright. When I should be asking you that question." I asked with a light laugh.

Riven laughed softly and then coughed. I looked at him scared. I did not know how much longer Riven could hold on. She could not look scared or worried with everything going on. Saladin and Codatorta came over to take care of Riven. I was about to back up but Codatorta shook his head and said,

"He needs you here with him."

I nodded and sat next to Riven holding his hand. Riven was trying to stay away and look at me. I stroked his hair and whispered to him,

"You are going to be alright Riven. Bloom will heal you and you will be alright."

"Musa, I want to tell you something that I have never told you before." Riven said quietly.

"What is it?" I asked nervously.

"I want that ever since I meet you I have wished I never broke my promise to you." Riven whispered to me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

I saw Codatorta and Saladin whispering to each other and I asked,

"What is it?"

They both looked at me and I could tell it was not good. I was not worried about Riven. I turned to where Bloom and screamed,

"Bloom please hurry up!"

Bloom looked over to me and I could see her worries too. She nodded to me and I saw the guys step in to help the fight. They mostly went to get Bloom over to Riven and me. I know that I should be fighting with the others but I could not leave Riven alone. I looked over to where the other squad was and I saw my boyfriend starring at me. I could not believe he was not helping. I screamed to him and his team,

"You idiots! What type of Red Fountain specialist are you? One of your own are in serious conditions and all you are doing is just standing there."

They looked at each other and then ran to help. I turned to see my boyfriend still standing there. I could not believe what I was seeing. But right now I did not care about him. I had my thoughts on Riven.

"Musa," Riven said quietly.

"I'm right here Riven." I said sweetly.

"Musa, I want to tell you something before," I stopped Riven by kissing him.

"No, don't talk like that. You are going to be alright Riven. Bloom is coming. She will heal you." I reassured Riven.

I don't know who I was trying to reassure, was it for Riven or for myself. I could not see him die on me. But his wounds were bad and he was losing lots of blood. I could not bare seeing him like this. It killed me inside.

"But Musa, I need to tell you that I," He was trying to catch his breath.

I held his hand and said,

"Don't speak Riven. Save your breath. Bloom is coming."

"Musa, I love you!" Riven whispered the last part.

"I love you too Riven." I told him kissing his lips.

Right then I watched his eyes close and Bloom ran over. We looked at each other I did not know what to do. I looked at Saladin and he told Bloom,

"Try."
