"S…Stella" Stella greeted, a slight stutter in her voice.
"You don't have to so scared Stella…as long as you remain peaceful I will allow you to remain in my territory" Bloom explained as she took on a relaxed stance.
"O…ok…well I don't plan to stay long…like I said I only ended up here by mistake" Stella stammered.
"Don't worry about it, though you may want to get some rest before taking off again" Bloom replied, leaning against one of the trees.
"Yeah…I guess you have a point there…do you mind if I rest at your place for a while?" Stella asked, feeling her confidence return.
"Sure" Bloom replied for extending her hand out to Stella, extending her hand, the blonde took it and Bloom pulled her closer before leaping to the tree tops and jumping from branch to branch until she was in a deep area of the park, just in case the social workers came back so she would be well hidden. The duo stopped atop a single branch.
"This is where you live?" Stella asked, eyes widening.
"Yeah, I've been living in this park for over a decade" Bloom admitted.
'No wonder she was so territorial we were fighting in her home, not just simply in her territory we were at its centre, the most dangerous and protected part' Stella mused, eyes widening with realization.
"Well if you want you could come with me" Stella offered.
"Huh?" Bloom asked intelligently.
"I mean I was heading to The Academy, it where creatures like us go to learn to control our abilities and live in a human society…and…well it's the least I can do for what you did for me" Stella explained.
"What makes you think I need to go there I already know how to live among humans" Bloom inquired.
"Because you only have three tails, The Academy would change that, you will become stronger" Stella replied, Bloom let out a small sigh.
"Fine I'll go…besides I could use a break from social services" Bloom replied, muttering the last part.
"Social services?" Stella questioned.
"Yeah, homeless teen that gives them hell, the one that always gets away" Bloom declared proudly indicating to herself with her thumb.
"Cool" Stella chuckled just imagining how much trouble Bloom was giving them.
"Yeah…so what are you?" Bloom asked, Stella stiffened.
"Come on you know what I am so tell me what you are" Bloom added, seeing she needed some extra incentive, Stella let out a tired sigh.
"I'm a Hydra" Stella admitted.
Fact File: Hydra, a water elemental, famous for the ability to grow three heads every time one is severed, also known to develop MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder), known for its strength, aggressive nature and for its lethal poison, though the poison is only lethal when the Hydra has matured to an adult level, the Hydra is an average monster, not classified to a specific.
"A Hydra, you mean the Greek monster with a bunch of heads?" Bloom asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah…that…but since thankfully no one's cut my head off yet I only have the one, not that it would matter thanks to my human form" Stella replied.
"Can all Hydras say that as if they're discussing the weather or only you?" Bloom asked, a small smirk upon her face, Stella pouted in response, after another hour and Stella had rested to the point where she could use the teleportation, within minutes Bloom and Stella found themselves outside The Academy campus.
At the gate stood an older brunette with a checklist, Stella leaned in closer to Bloom.
"Better watch out for her, she's Griselda, head of discipline and very strict" Stella whispered.
"Okay" Bloom acknowledged.
"Since you're not registered she'll probably ask a few questions" Stella added before approaching Griselda.
"Ah Miss Stella, I see you've returned, planning on blowing up another science lab?" Griselda asked as she raised an eyebrow, no humour within her tone.
"You actually did that?" Bloom asked, Stella's shoulder hunched before sighing in defeat and continuing through the gate, stopping after a few paces to wait for her friend.
"And you are?" Griselda asked.
"Off list" Bloom replied, Griselda let out a sigh, going to the bottom of her list to add a new bar.
"Name?" Griselda asked again.
"Bloom" Bloom replied.
"Last name" Griselda persisted.
"Don't have one, been living on the streets for nearly as long as I can remember" Bloom replied, Griselda stiffened for a second before continuing.
"Species?" Griselda asked.
"Nine Tailed Fox" Bloom replied, the head of discipline stiffened again.
"How many tails?" Griselda asked.
"Three" Bloom replied, Griselda nearly face faulted at hearing this.
"Planet of origin?" Griselda asked.
"Grew up on Earth, I don't recall my birth planet" Bloom replied, Griselda's jaw dropped at hearing this, that a rare Nine Tails had grown up on Earth.
"Okay…well we'll probably ask some more questions later…but for now why don't you go with Stella, there's a spare bed in her dorm" Griselda responded, Bloom nodded before following after Stella.
