Bloom woke up to find herself in unknown scenery. She slowly got up and curled her bare toes, enjoying the feeling of the soft grass under. She felt completely exhausted and had a horrible headache. The redhead quickly wiped the saliva going down her mouth and carefully looked around.
"Where could I be?" she wondered as she gently placed a hand on her chin.
"Wait…" Suddenly the girl gasped finally realizing that for some strange reason, she still wore pyjamas.
"No way." she laughed anxiously. "Was I sleepwalking? It still makes no sense though, just how deep have I gone into the forest?"
She took a deep breath in attempt to calm down. "Okay. I am definitely finding my way back. I`m a fairy after all. "
Bloom felt something slide down from her head. She quickly caught it. It was flower crown of white roses. "Stuff just gets weirder and weirder. Oh well." she shrugged.
The girl lazily walked down the rambling forest pathway.
"What time is it, I wonder?" she thought while staring up at the sky.
"Everyone probably thinks I`m skipping classes for the day. Despite that being very far away from the truth."
Then all of a sudden Bloom found herself knocked back to the ground.
"Ow…what was that?" she said to herself as she stood up.
"Could it be?" her brows furrowed. With a quick movement of her fingers, the spell she encountered was canceled, revealing a massive wall of energy flowing in front of her.
"A barrier? But why would anyone cast one here? There must be a building nearby."
Without having second thoughts, she dashed in the opposite direction. "How could I have missed it?"
Brightness of something white caught her attention. A huge building was indeed in close proximity as she could now see the part of its rooftop. After one-two beads of sweat, she finally arrived at her destination. It turned out be one rather imposing mansion build by mysteriously charcoal colored stone. A contrasting whiteness was caused by roses elegantly adorning the entrance.
Bloom was still heavily panting, trying to catch her breath. Her sore feet made it unbearable for her to stand anymore, so she gave up and fell on the grass. The fairy just couldn't shake off that feeling of uneasiness.
"So I`m trapped, huh?" she spoke to herself yet again.
The maiden curiously studied the flower crown. It radiated dark energy. As she realized this, she immediately threw it aside.
"I wonder if the roses are from here." the girl sighed.
"Alright, there is no point in lying here now." she said as she got up. Bloom felt the pounding in her head intensify gradually whilst she got closer. Her suspicions proved to be right.
Now that she was already right in front, the redhead hesitated. She rubbed her temples to ease the pain.
"There is nothing else to do but enter, is it?"
Shiver went down her spine as she touched the door knocker. It was copper dragon head chewing on a huge ring. The girl then boldly knocked three times. The door opened wide, politely welcoming her guest. Bloom entered the mansion, determined to find a way out.
