Azul's past part 5

     Azul was standing on the tall stage, hundred of people sat in the crowd, the ten judges sat in the front row glaring at her expecting bad results.
     The young lucario just smiled, standing in the middle of the stage, the spotlight shone on her the way it always did during a performance, she knew if she won this contest she would be able to afford a house, able to make a living on her own, and she was ready to put 100 per cent into this performance.
     Murmurs from the crowd started and moment later the light went of, all of them including the spotlight, of course Azul had planned this, something different.
     She held up her hands as her voice mixed with the sound of piano from behind the curtain her hands glowed with the aura that surrounded her hands.
     A beautiful color, bright light that matched her eyes that began to glow too, her hands moved gracefully as she twirled in rhythm to the music.
     The spotlight came on low as her aura became aura sphere that surrounded her twirling with her brightening up the whole stage with the beautiful light that matched the lucarios eyes.
     Catching a quick glance at the judges she saw they where happy, and as the music became harder and less graceful she began to show of her fighting move, singing in the foreign language she always used.
     Everything had gone as planned up until now, and her aura spheres returned to her, as her attacks became more serious, as if she where fighting a foe, but still matching the music with perfection.
     Then a huge bang shocked Azul, and the music stopped. Azul looked around, the judged where looking at her one raised an eyebrow and moved his hand as if to say to continue, Azul looked at the crowd total confusion, had no one else heard the bang? They where murmuring, and where had the music gone, she twitched her ears.
     Azul stood, speechless on stage, the spotlight glowed intensely on her and finally a judge stood up, opening his mouth as if shouting something but Azul heard nothing.
     She stared at him blankly not knowing what to do, when she did not move he opened and closed his mouth again, Azul failed to heard something, then a hand fell on her shoulder, she looked up to see one of the security guards, he was holding her tightly and began to drag her of stage, Azul struggled suddenly panicking but the security guard just dragged her outside, opened and closed his mouth, Azul still failed to hear anyway, and at that went inside again.
      Azul sat in the street, staring at the closed door, and finally her hearing came back, the sound of complaining and booing she heard from inside she got up to open the door and see what was going on but when she put her hand on the doorknob she realized it had been her.
      
      That night, she sat on her bed in her now dark blue room, her mum was sitting next to her giving her a hug, trying to cheer up her daughter.
     "What did you say happened again?" Azul asked with a shaky voice.
     "Darling, please, you need rest" her mother said.
     "Just one more time?" Azul asked.
     Her mother sighed "you just stopped, you looked shocked and did nothing, the judge told you to leave you didn't move so he told the guard to take you, but you say you heard a bang and then nothing... I'll have a doctor come and look at you tomorow, you might have been exausted and-"
     "No, I slept well and I wasn't tired" Azul said turning away from her mother.
     Azul wanted to cry, she had been so ready to move away from home and now she sat on her bed after another failure, this had happened many times, ever since she won first place in a charity contest this had happened at every other contest, and she couldn't' figure out why.
     Her mother hugged her and at that Azul slept, obeying her adoptive mother.

     "Oooooh, whyyyy?" Azul sang as she danced around, the clearing "I didn't break no laws, and I didn't go to prison, but I am hurt! I am locked inside myself! No one can save me now, oooooh, but I will go oooon" she sang and at that she stopped, Lucas clapped smiling at her.
      "I was a bit of note" Azul said sighing going over and sitting next to Lucas, he kissed her on the cheek.
      "You where perfect, even if you tried to sing badly, Azul, your voice is too perfect to be anything but that" he said looking at her smiling "even if you stopped you should have still won, you did better then that espeon that won" he said kissing her on the lips.
     Azul kissed him back putting her arms around him "your deaf you know that? Perhaps you should have been the one seeing the doctor this morning" she said laughing.
     "Oh, but doctors can't heal obsession, my love" he said kissing her again.
     "I had no idea" she said laughing "come on, we'll do this once we get a proper place darling" she said separating from him "remember the age we where when we met here, best not do too much" she said grinning.
     "We weren't that young" he said laughing but he obeyed.

     A few weeks later, Azul had tried and failed at three contests, she had just finished trying a forth. Lucas was running at full speed, he had just received the message, dodging tree branched and rocks, his body was covered in scratches and his fur filled with mud, but he had not the time to stop.
     Finally he reached his home time, with a sprint he reached the home of Daniel and Lucia, quickly banging on the door, Daniel opened with sad eyes. He looked at Lucas and nodded moving out the way, he opened his mouth and said something quietly, but Lucas didn't hear he sprinted in towards Azul's room and hovered at the door with wide eyes.
     On the bed lay Azul, trembling with closed eyes, her right leg and left arm where broken, bandaged up, she was couching in her sleep and the doctor was fussing over her broken ribs.
     Lucia looked up at Lucas, and gave him a motivating smile, an obviously forced one "she's going to be alright" she said in a soft voice.
     "She was lucky" the doctor said "many would have died in her place, she was fast to try and move and managed to avoid a critical hit" the doctor explained.
     Lucas took a deep breath, tears filled his eyes, holding back from crying he looked at his love "this wasn't an accident, this and all does 'headaches'" he said with a serious tone.
     Lucia looked at her adopted daughter for a second then looked up and Lucas and nodded "Lucas, I want to higher you for a spy mission" she said with a serious tone.
