Brushing her blonde bangs out of her green eyes as she walked down the narrow pathway hidden away by the shrubbery and trees, soon the path will disappear and she would have to cut through the trees to get to her destination. It is not a problem for her though as she had been living in this forest for all her life, she knew the area like the back of her hand. The reason she had to go out of the Moku No Ume was her mother and aunts required supplies for some important spells they have been working on for some time, she really did not understand what the spells were for but she was happy to help when she can.
The path had dwindled down to nothing but she just crouched a bit before jumping into the tree tops where it was safe and continued, she traveled some when she can see the very tops of several buildings in the distance. Closing the distance a bit with each bound the girl shifted the backpack filled with supplies so it hung off the other shoulder, once at the edge of a slight incline she took a moment to look over the village. She smiled before leaping down.
It has been almost seventeen long years since she and her sisters had became rulers of the universe for nearly a week, it has been almost seventeen long years since they had escaped from Light Haven. It was long seventeen years ever since before going to earth she had visited him alone and casted a spell on him. And several months after being defeated a daughter was born, they escaped and came to this village plotting for revenge.
Stormy sighed as she fell back into a well worn chair that normally sat in the corner of the small apartment she and her daughter lives in. Her sisters were in different areas of the village but they all came over every day to help take care of the store beneath the apartment to support themselves after escaping from Light Haven, there is not much work in Magix for someone who tried to take over the universe.
The door opened, a girl with short blonde hair that reached the nip of her neck and deep green eyes walked in. Her clothes were tomboyish with a long sleeve shirt and simple jeans, a backpack was slung over one shoulder. Pendu Trix smiled at her mother as she laid the backpack on the table as Stormy got up to study the contents, unzipping the backpack and taking out several jars and packets she nodded in approval. "Good, this will work."
Pendu smiled, the young girl rubbed the back of her neck as her mother took the supplies into the other room. Stormy returned and sat back down in the chair as the expression made Pendu lost her smile a bit, her mother had something serious to talk about. "Mom?"
"Pendu, I have decided that you are old enough for cursed weapons training." Stormy spoke with a shaky tone, "and that your aunt Darcy will be teaching you carefully."
Pendu blinked a few times as the information sank into her head before smiling, "well that's cool."
"Don't be so immature!" Stormy bonked her daughter on the head with her fist as she yelled, "cursed weapons are not something to be played with and I was very against the idea, it was Icy that talked me into it but if this your attitude then I won't even let you near those blades."
Pendu blinked and seemed a bit unset, her expression was one of depression and disappointment mixed with confusion. "Okay," she chirped as she gave a "V" for victory. Stormy facevaulted to the floor, "mom?"
As Stormy laid on the floor the mental image of her mother appeared in her head over and over again, "I hope you have a kid just like YOU."
Why me? Stormy thought as she climbed back to her feet, "just go get ready for dinner." Pendu shrugged as she wondered into the bathroom as Stormy sat there for a moment thinking about some time now for a few days now, perhaps it would be best to ask Pendu during dinner tonight about going to a special school in magix.
She slammed the door behind her after storming to her room. Brushing some of her red hair out of her blue eyes she lean against the door as someone pounded away on the other side, she could hear her mother yelling about something but she did not listen. She never listened to her mother, her father she had some respect but unless it was really important she drowned him out too.
"Open this door, and I mean now!" Bloom shouted as she took her fist and pounded on the door. "You are in big trouble."
"Hey, I was just trying out my winx before I go, how am I suppose to know that the fireball would travel that low."
"This does not change anything, you are still going to Alfea." Bloom shouted as she stepped back, she let her body shivered with anger but trying to calm herself down long enough to not to strangle her daughter until she leaves for school. Which should be in a few days, she could survive that. "Now, come out here and face the consequences of burning that dress."
Forza Cavaliere looked to about to open the door but as the door cracked open a hand emerged with a scrap of burned green fabric. She let go, and the fabric fall to the floor. Bloom was seething by then but said nothing, in fact she felt her eye twitch as she walked away from her impossible daughter. She is so glade that the girl is going to Alfea, maybe the headmistress can straighten her out where 15 years of discipline had failed.
Back in the room Forza sighed as she walked over to her bed and picked up the latest issue of Witch Weekly, flipping through articles and stopping on one that usually interest her. What will you do if you ruled the world, reaching for a pen that usual sat on her nightstand the young girl had written you'll find out when I do.
Dinner time had came faster then expected and Stormy was a bit nervous about asking her child about going to a school far away from home, and one with magic completely different from what she had been teaching Pendu over the years. One half of her was sickened by the idea of sending a Trix to there but the other half wants her to be safe and have a better chance at life. They were seated across from each other after the food was served, Stormy just looked down at the food will pushing it around with a fork before speaking. "Pendu, I want to ask you something." the young girl looked up with some noodles hanging out of her mouth a bit curious. "How would you like to Alfea?" she shivered at just saying it, and it kind of left a bad taste in her mouth.
"Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Pendu was crushing her mother in a bear hug as she beamed with joy, "I always wanted to go to that place since I had read about my father's wife went there, and I would like to see what that place is like."
"All right. Pendu, you're crushing me." Pendu realized what she was doing and released her mother. Maybe this is a grave mistake, Stormy thought to herself but there was no turning back now. "Before you go I must tell you something, since the Trix name is pretty infamous and the schools will not allow anyone of our descent to join you will have to use a different last name."
"Why is that?" Pendu lean her head to one side, "is it because you and Aunt Darcy and Aunt Icy try to take over the universe?"
"Parochially." Stormy shifted a bit, "but also the headmistress had a grudge against us."
"So when do I get to go?"
"Tomorrow, school won't start until Monday but it doesn't hurt to go early."
"I'll go pack." Pendu pushed away from the table and dashed off to her room, Stormy sighed but felt a small about of pride. Her child was something else.
She snapped. Her child was something else, a hellion or a demon perhaps but she's no fairy. Bloom loves her daughter but she has her limits, and she was at the moment shoving a confused Forza into the awaiting ship along with the baggage. The farewell party was obviously canceled to the dismay of everyone but she cannot wait, "we'll see you on the weekends."
"Why am I going to the pixie school?" Forza complained but never received her answer as the door shut on her, she was fuming as the auto-pilot took over. She watch her mother waved as the ship took off, having no choice in the matter Forza took her seat and looked down at the papers she is suppose to give Faragonda when she shows up at Alfea. She sighed, going there would most defiantly drive her insane being around preppy people all the time. She could not stand her mother's friends how can she stand a whole school of them.
Perhaps I don't have to go, she looked at the papers. The forms were the same as the school she wants to go to, in fact there was no difference between them. A smile crossed her face in an evil way, if her parents do not like it then tough on them. From now on she's controlling her life, and her first choice is to go to Cloud Tower.
