The Mist/WC Cross

(A/N: I don't own and see last chapter.)

"Because nearly being bisected and killed by the monsters in the mist hurts." Bloom replied without batting an eyelash as she expose a rather nasty scar on her stomach that went almost halfway across it.

"Dear gods above." Stella said paling in horror at the sight of the scar on the red heads stomach.

"I'm fine. It only hurts on occasion now." Bloom said lowering her shirt while everyone was staring at her in shock and horror.

"One of the creatures in this mist did that to you?" DuFour asked placing a worried hand on Blooms shoulder and earning a snort from the red head.

"That and a few other of my scars. I got a nasty one from one of the tentacle creatures on my leg and I still have the scar from the spiders acid webbing burned across my back and chest. Those things out there are real. They're dangerous and they love eating humans." Bloom said with a sarcastic laugh that sent chills down several students spines.

"Dear Dragons above." Griselda murmured staring at her student in shock and worry along with a ting of horror.

"Why are we just taking her word for all of this? Shouldn't a few of us go out on a recon mission?" Sky asked crossing his arms over his chest as he merely stared at Bloom with lust and anger in his eyes. She had rejected all of his advances thus far but maybe if he could fend off the monsters in the mist then she'd fall for him?

"If you wanna try it pretty boy then go ahead. When you get out there why don't you stand in front of the window so we can see which monster kills you? Last time it was the tentacle monster that I saw first but hey. I'm pretty sure the other monsters wouldn't mind killing you and using you to feed themselves and their offspring." Bloom said snorting at how Sky was trying to act tough and all. She had never liked or been impressed with the blond haired bastard so why should she really care if he died cause he didn't want to listen? It wouldn't be her fault if he didn't listen.

"Fine. I'll go stand out there and show you these monsters aren't anything special." Sky said glaring slightly at the red head who merely threw her head back and cackled as evilly as any witch could.

"You do that. I'll even make you a deal. You fight at least one of those monsters out there and come back alive and I'll go on a date with you. Deal?" Bloom asked smirking widely at the blond boy whose eyes immediately filled with lust and desire.

"You're on!" Sky said pulling out his phantom blade and walking out the door to stand in front of the window just in front of Bloom. Almost immediately everyone gathered around the window just to see what would happen to the blond boy that wasn't very popular among the girls and the heroes, he was always so bossy and arrogant.

"They won't attack him right away. It takes a few minutes for the monsters to get close enough they can smell him. Once they smell flesh though…he's doomed." Bloom said watching Sky with cold and dead looking eyes while everyone around her exchanged worried and concerned glances. Her tone had been so matter-of-factly, so cold, so factual, so dead that it honestly had even the witches worried about her and her mental state. Not that any of them would be dumb enough to tell her that to her face…maybe from somewhere she couldn't hear and promptly kill and/or sadistically maim them.

"Hmph. Poor bastard got stuck with the tentacle monster. He can't kill it since it tends to stay out of visual range and uses the tentacles to attack." Bloom said shaking her head with a cruel smirk on her face as the long pink tentacles came crawling from the mist towards Sky who was looking at them slightly wide-eyed, he obviously hadn't believed Bloom earlier.

"So he's probably going to die?" A senior witch asked slightly pale at how casual the earth girl was being at such a thing.

"Unless he swallows his pride and gets his ass in here pronto. The tentacles have small mouths on them that eat away the flesh when they get a secure grip on someone." Bloom said rolling up her left pants leg to show them a nasty looking scarred over gash that she had gotten from a tentacle monster in the past.

"The monster he's about to fight did that to you?" Another senior witch asked staring at the scar on Blooms leg wide eyed and in shock.

"He really is doomed." A Sophomore witch said turning to look out the window at Sky who was frantically trying to hack away the tentacles but there were simply too many, it didn't help that he was panicking big time.

"Ouch. He's certainly going to be feeling that for all of two minutes…that's if he's unlucky. I'd say ten seconds if he's lucky." Bloom said wincing ever so slightly when one of the tentacles wrapped around Sky's upper thigh and began to eat away his flesh, causing him to scream out in pain.

"Hmm. The monster seems to be smarter than I remember. It's going after the body's weaker points. Veins, arteries, and sensitive but needed muscles. It just bit down on his Solar Plexus. Even if he managed to get free and run back inside, he'd die within the hour at least." Bloom said shaking her head as Sky dropped his sword and tried to pry the tentacles off of himself.

"Help me." Sky begged as he turned and managed to place a bloody hand on the glass with horrified eyes that will probably haunt everyone nightmares for months and years to come.

"There is no saving him now. Not only was he caught and chewed up too much, but they also just disabled his spine near his waist. He won't be able to move his legs anymore even if we did go save him." Bloom said tonelessly causing everyone to shiver, the fact that she was talking about it so callously meant that she had a lot of experience with it no matter what anyone wished to say about the matter. They could only watch as Sky was dragged off into the mist, his screams silencing after a few more seconds and the only thing to show that he had ever been there were the blood splatters and his sword which was lying on the ground.

"Can't waste resources. Everyone stay here, I'll be right back." Bloom said sighing as she headed towards the door and ran outside before anyone could stop her. Everyone could only watch as Bloom darted towards where Sky had been as fast as she could go and snatched up the sword easily. Bloom quickly used the sword to carve a cross into the ground before turning and slashing the legs off of a spider like monster that tried to sneak up on her. Bloom didn't bother to look back and watch the monster flounder around without its legs as she darted back towards the door and slammed it shut behind her, pressing her shoulder against the door and barricading it with her body in order to keep another, smaller, spider monster from breaking its way inside. Bloom waited until the door stopped rattling for more than two minutes before she finally backed away from it with the sword in her hands.

"Anyone else wanna try their luck?" Bloom asked turning and looking at the others in the room as she flicked the blood off of the blade expertly.
