Love Can't Be Denied

The Week

After realizing what needed to be done, the big question was: 'How do they do it?'

"Why can't we just go to Isis and get Bloom out of there?" Stella asked frustrated.

"Stel, we can't do that. It's a royal engagement. Getting Bloom away from there could mean exile or worse..." Musa reasoned with her.

"So are we just gonna leave her there for who knows how long?"

"Until we have a plan, we don't have a choice" she turned to Griffin. "Thank you Headmistress" she nodded and sighed as the 5 flew out of Cloud Tower.

Back at Alfea, the girls went to their rooms to think about how to get Bloom away before she's stuck for real.

"Sky!" A chirpy, annoying voice rang out and a light pressure tackled him before he could respond. He looked down at the perfectly curled hair of the one person he really didn't want to see.

"Diaspro...weren't you banned from here?" He asked. His voice very bland and lacking any emotion.

"Queen Samara lifted it!" Sky made his way to the throne room, Diaspro and Brandon, who has been standing there quietly, following him.

"Answers" he pointed his thumb at Diaspro, his patience wearing thin.

"You are to marry her, son" Erendor told simply. Every time there was some problem between him and Bloom, Diaspro decided to be placed between them.

"Not gonna happen" he went to his room, Brandon following him. Diaspro huffed in annoyance, not understanding why he always rejected her.

"We are sorry, Diaspro. I'm sure Sky will come around eventually"

"Yea. We'll see about it" she went to her guest room and grabbed her phone, dialing a number. "Hey cousin"

"Hey Diaspro. What's up?"the blue haired guy looked into the phone, a devious grin on his face.

"How's that pixie?"

"She should be passed out by now"

"Why don't you give her a wake up call? After all, 28 more days til she leaves, might as well make the best of it"

"Hm, good call love. I'll see what I can do. How's it going with blondie?"

"Not good"

"Still rejecting you, huh?"

"Yes. I don't see what he sees in her"

"Whatever it is, it won't be there when she goes back home"

"Better not be. I'll talk to you later" the call ended and she laid down on the bed, yawning softly and eventually falling asleep.

In Sky's room, Brandon laid on the bed, throwing a tiny football in the air and catching it, while Sky played games on his phone, his mind elsewhere until Brandon's phone rang.
"Hello?....Yea....Ok" Brandon sat up and handed his phone to Sky. "It's Stella" he picked it up and held the phone to his ear.

"Hey Stella"

"Hey Sky. There's something you should know... about Bloom..." her voice was hoarse and cracked as she'd been crying out of fear for her best friend.

"What is it?" Stella told him everything about what happened only 2 hours ago. From Flora's phone call to the information they got from Griffin. She broke down crying again and Sky was close to doing the same thing. "Thanks, Stella" he handed the phone back to Brandon who looked at him confused.

"Dude, what's going on?"

"Bloom's new fiancé is...he hits her" he paused in thought before a thought struck him. "What else could he be doing to her?"
