(Bloom's POV)
As we are making our way down the maze like corridors to the great hall we approach Ms Fraragonda's office doors. I see when it opens a girl with short spikes of purple hair appear from the door way talking to our head mistress. We all realise who this girl is and we run up to her with a sense of relief washing over us.
"Techna" Musa screams before nearly bulldozing her over right in front of Ms F. We join in a squished hug before looking at her ready for an explanation.
"Hi Girls, ready for the feast?" she says taking a step forwards towards the direction of the great hall. Musa steps in front of her before she can make a second.
"Not before you tell us where you've been" Musa says a bit angrily ,while glaring at Techna in the eyes. Now I see Techna up close, she looks exhausted not the usual Techna I have grown to love .Her eyes hold bags under them. Also she slouches a bit and I am guessing something's happened to her.
"Look girls I will tell you at the feast" she sighs before nodding at Ms F. before we all start to walk down the corridor.
"Bloom" I feel a hand grab my arm genteelly before I look back to see Ms.F looking back at me. I stop and face her.
"Yes Ms.F" I say a bit confused by this sudden event. I tell the rest of the girls to go ahead and I will meet them at the feast.
"Bloom, I think we better have a talk soon" she whispers to me as our eyes meet.
"What about?"
"Something has begun Bloom, and its spreading to different realms, including Techna's "
"What do you mean, Ms F. is this why-"
"Bloom I am guessing that's why Techna wants to talk to you girls at the feast tonight, I promise I will tell you more tomorrow, this concerns you just as much as the other girls, maybe even more" Ms F. looks at her silver watch on her wrist before standing up straighter and looks at me again.
" Well time for the feast, and Bloom do not worry things will become clearer soon" she says before walking down the corridor. I am so confused right now I force myself to go to the great hall. Whatever it is something, it's bad I feel it in my gut.
By the time I get to the great hall nearly everyone has taken a seat at the long pale pink tables that stand in the middle of the ginormous space. On the far right table I see Stella wave a hand at me to signal were we are sitting. I walk there and sit on to the bench next o Stella, Flora sits beside her. Layla and Musa sit either side of Techna who sits there gazing at her glass of water.
"What did Ms.F want?" Stella asks before grabbing a bread roll and tearing pieces off and delicately placing it in her mouth.
"Well she wants to tell me something…. But I was hoping Techna can help me out with that something" I say softly trying to catch Technas gaze at the rippling water. She looks up a bit unsure to talk ,but knows she has to.
"Its Zenith" she replies , it all most looks like for a second she is about to cry.
"My planet and most of my realm is in the point of complete evacuation".
"What are you talking about Tec" Layla asks first.
"To be completely honest I don't know myself, Ms.F was very brief on the situation".
"Evacuation Tec, It can't be that bad" Flora asks shyly trying not to hit a weak spot.
"Well, that's what we thought, but our realm is starting to turn into dead planet soon" Techna replies sharply, it looks like she is trying to get her head around it, and I don't blame her.
"Tec you look exhausted, if you needed help why didn't you just call us?" I ask trying to get as much information as I can.
"I would have but it happened a few days ago, everything was running as it usually does in Zenith, in order, but first things first the energy source is cut and all power was shorted, next thing we know explosions started to occur from buildings not being able to support themselves without power. Even if I wanted to I couldn't call, somehow even batteries n Zenith didn't work."
Techna just stays still, we all do. I have never been to Techna's realm before but I have read heaps about it at Alfea. It's the Technology realm of the magic dimension. They invented nearly all communication, teleportation devices and electronic items in this dimension. Zenith without technology I can't imagine.
"Tec, I am sorry if I had known-" I start to say
"Bloom its fine , and I really don't want to talk about it any more" she says weakly.
"Ok" I whisper and we all fall it to silence. I need to know more about what Ms F. knows and why does this concern me more. But more importantly why did this happen?.
"So know that Technas back, still up for seeing the boys tonight" she asks hesitantly .The rest of the girls all agree and nod but when they come to me I really don't know.
"Bloom… hello yes or no?" Stella asks while waving her hand in front of me.
"I don't know, I mean , its just…" I drift off trying not to talk about what bothering me.
"If this is about the thing with Ms F.-" I cut Stella off.
"No , its ….Sky" I sigh not really wanting to admit it. For the past three months I have not heard one word from him. He said he'd call or at least text , but for some reason I received neither. I know he is busier these days with all his duties about becoming the next King of Eraklyon ,but still. I guess it would be good to get a reason at least.
"Oh" Stella winced
"I'll go though" I reply coolly trying to change the subject. With that Stella grabs her phone from her pocket and quickly starts to text who I am guessing is Brandon
Mrs Faragonda does her usual welcoming speech to the new girls at Alfea and welcome back to old students and teachers. We all start talking about or holidays and all sorts of bazar stories. I don't say much about mine because compared to theirs, expect Techna's of course it seems to be rather interesting.
After the Feast we all head back to our dorm and pretend to get an early night sleep for tomorrow for first classes. Instead we get changed and all get ready to go see the guys. Layla say she is not feeling well, but I know she does not really want to be the odd one out tonight. Nubu isn't going to be there, of course she wouldn't go. Also the fact that it reminds her, I don't know how she copes.
