mistakes
"Make mistakes. Make them once, make them twice. But learn from them."
When Bloom comes back from sitting down with Farah on her own, she glances at mom and I with a weak smile. "She wants to talk to you two before.. you know", Bloom mumbles giving us a smile of sadness mixed with assurance.
"I wish we had enough time to talk about the past, everything's that happened and how your lives are changing. Unfortunately, we only have this moment before we part", Farah regrets. Her voice is calm but a hint of it tells me that she's actually afraid of leaving.
I feel heartbroken for mom and her. They just got each other back and are being separated already. Farah has lived some years without her friend, but mom has to live without her for the rest of her life.
"I just want to thank you, Farah", I speak up quietly, "You've played an enormous role in my life and I can't tell you how lucky I am to have gained experience with you by my side. I'm going to miss you." I know that her time's running short so I take a deep breath and hug her for probably the last time.
We don't say anything else. Everything's already been said. This is one of the moments in which I'm happy about my powers. I'm going to remember every word that she's said to me, every moment in which we've laughed or joked about Saul. I leave her and mom alone so they can have most of the remaining time for themselves.
When she gets back, I give her a questioning look but mom wipes the one tear away discreetly. "Tomorrow, when all of this is over", she signalizes me. We have to join Saul and the rest of the students who are still free to help and save the others who are still in Alfea's building.
"Hey, how were you doing? Where have you been?", Riven asks me as he immediately storms over when mom and I meet with the rest of the ones who are outside of the school. Riven's voice trembles already and I wonder what he imagined me doing.
"I'm fine, Riv", I state but give in as I remember what's actually just happened. We've said goodbye to Farah. Actually, I'm anything else but fine. "You don't look alright", Stephen butts in but gives me a seriously worried look.
"Yeah, no. It's just not the right time. I guess we have to save this school first", I chuckle nervously as I see Saul bringing all the students together in front of me. Stephen nods and joins his brother to talk about their tactic. "Thanks for caring", I say to Riven softly appreciating his care for me before we join the others to listen to their plan.
It sounds easy. Saul removes our bonds, apologizes to us while doing so, but despite his original role for Bloom and I, we make our own plan and hurry into school when Saul can't see us. We want to save the fairies like Saul planned, but we first have to eliminate Sebastian.
Somewhere on our way, Bloom and I separated our ways hoping that one of us would find him sooner and do the work. However, when I arrive where they are, I see them talking dangerously long and seriously.
When I hear him mentioning her mom, I stop approaching them and hide behind a wall. Bloom deserves to know the truth and I can feel Sebastian speaking honestly. I understand her reaction regarding the story but when she starts transitioning the dragon's flame, I have to intervene.
"Bloom, stop! We'll find another way to-" "Hello, Scar", Sebastian interrupts me smiling as Bloom continues to strengthen him, "It's good to see you again." "Bloom, you-" "Scar, leave as long as you can. I won't stop this right now", Bloom orders me and I'm slightly offended.
"They might want to know what Bloom loses the dragon's flame for", Beatrix appears next to me to our surprise. She's got a point. I follow Bloom's scared look and realize what she's doing it for. Sky. "Sky!", I yell and run to where he hangs but I can't him, not even his feet when I jump.
"Sebastian, let go off him! He's innocent and you get what you want just let go of him!", I yell and storm back to Sebastian who easily pushes me away with his powers. "I don't want to hurt you, Scar. Neither of you. So please do me a favor and don't make me hurt you."
Sebastian turns back to Bloom and Beatrix looks around, her eyes shimmering in worry and I see her nod slightly. "Sure. Remember what you've just said", she warns Bloom dangerously and confident again before everything happens too fast and she uses a lightning to attack Sky's body who falls to the ground.
"Sky!" Mom's voice is right behind me as I rush over to Sky without hesitation. "Sky. No, no, no. Sky, wake up." "Sky, come on, say something." I check his pulse but.. nothing. Just nothing. I can't feel his pulse. Beatrix.. she.. him. Bloom and I transform in the same moment feeling the same heavy feeling in our hearts.
"Scar, you don't want to do this. Bloom might, but you don't. You're not a killer", Sebastian tries to calm me while taking a few steps back. "You made me one the moment you used your powers on my dad", I hiss at him, a few lightnings escaping my hands.
"Okay, what's your plan? Kill me?", he continues not letting us making him scared. Why the hell is he not scared? He's about to be history in a few moments. "I'm one of your last family members, Scar. You wouldn't kill your uncle."
"My.. what?", I whisper transforming back to myself from the sudden words that came out of his mouth. He's right, I can feel it. "It's true. I'm your brother, Olivia. That's why you two are blood witches just like me. You were lucky our parents were able to hide you in the first world, Olivia. I could tell you the whole story if you.. you know, gave us some privacy to talk. I was hoping to have a moment with my family."
"What-" "Scar, don't listen to him!", Bloom yells at me and takes a look into Sky's direction where mom is sitting crying and holding his hand. "Look what he's done." No, that wasn't him. He's had a plan to hurt as little as possible. It was Beatrix who's.. done that to my brother.
He's right. I wouldn't hurt a family member anymore. I've learned from the moment in the cabin. I'd rather have the world being burnt down than hurting my family again. I shake my head slowly and turn around to go back to mom and Sky. Bloom can do it on her own, Sebastian can defend himself. But mom needs me.
