All Across the Island, Sunday Morning through Afternoon

[hehasheart.livejournal.com]

The time for a final strike had finally arrived. The prisoners of detention had been freed, powers and abilities had been returned, and all that remained was Umbridge, and her still-faithful Loyalists.

It was time to pick a side, and bring Umbridge's reign to an end.

"You will keep her dead." Blossom let that hang there. "Believe me, I know."

"She'll break it. It's only a matter of time before she breaks it," Warren growled, though there was uncertainty in those words somewhere, lingering in his eyes. "Lesser people have managed it. She won't be the High Inquisitor's pet forever."

He refused to accept that she was.

"But she won't be anything if the rebellion takes her down!"

"You don't understand, Warren. Just being under that spell is death. And honestly? Umbridge doesn't keep pets well."

Then something occurred to her. "You honestly think you're choosing Karla, don't you? What if we win her back and retreat again? Would you be there for her then?"

Warren was silent for a long moment, weighing the words that were about to come out of his mouth with the possibility that he'd die for even speaking them.

"If... if you win her back and retreat again..."

He still had nothing to lose.

"She won't have me. Not if she's herself again, and free. Take care of her? Please? And I'll do what I can to keep them away from her. I always have."

He'd failed.

He wouldn't die at her hands, she believed him already dead.

"Of course she won't. You chose something else over her. Even now, when talking in ifs, you did it again." Blossom flew a few feet in front of him. "Choose her. It doesn't matter what happened before when you get a second chance."

She floated slowly backwards. "And if you think of attacking anyone, remember. I'm back in the skies, Warren. And with my second chance, I chose to be a hero."

Warren didn't make any move to follow her. He didn't so much as throw a spray of poisoned blades after her as a parting gift.

She'd made her choice, and he'd made his, and he wasn't certain that he believed in second chances. Simply mistakes made, and what you did in an attempt to minimize the damage that you'd done as a result.

But forgiveness only existed in dreams, and he had very few dreams, these days.

"Then good luck," he murmured, dropping back into his crouch, "hero."
