Gardena, California, August 31th, 1998.
"Mummy!" a shout of a little girl with a badge in her right hand made the woman in the kitchen smile. the child dropped her backpack in the coach, and ran into the kitchen, a proudly smile on her lips "Look, I won my badge for make an bonfire with a stick and some leaves!"
The brunette smiled fondly to her daughter, leaving the lettuce and the knife in the sink, opening her arms hugging her little girl.
Vanessa loved Bloom, not once she wondered in silence what was the good thing she had done to deserve such miracle. Her little Bloom... she was a truly miracle, the response to her pleas, the reason of her life... and now she was almost ten years old.
Time past so fast.
"That's great, your father will be happy to see your new badge, love."
Bloom smiled, Vanessa hugged a little more to her girl, and then, they were making supper... Mike needed to know the good news and the brunette knew this weekend will be Pizza with extra cheese weekend thanks to Bloom and her new badge... oh God, how she can eat so much cheese?
She saw her daughter took her backpack and ran upstairs, humming a song of Madonna. The woman shook her head, oh the young people and weird tastes of music. She returned her attention to that lettuce, maybe pizza's night was inevitable, but a good and nutritive salad can help.
"Can I go to Andy's later? He found a turtle, we will picking the perfect name, and his mom said it was fine."
Her daughter was almost yelling from her room, the sound of things falling on the floor distracted Vanessa.
"Okay, but first, your chores, and try to return before dinner."
Bloom started making her chores, and one hour later, she came back with her backpack, and a very large list with many names wrote on it. Vanessa laughed for her child antics and soon, she was starting to resign to that crazy idea that was plaguing her mind.
The telephone starting to ring.
Bloom meanwhile frowned, the turtle was a male, so he deserve the coolest name a turtle can get. She nod with decision and stood, grabbing her backpack she waved goodbye to her mom and get out.
The redhead child started humming, she loved to sing, even she dreamed to have a band, a cool band. Bloom wanted guitar classes for her birthday, but first, she needed the guitar...
An animalistic groan scaped of her throat, lady fate was a cruel mistress! She had no luck, having to walk near her former best friend and now archenemy.
"Hey Bloom, look what daddy bought me."
Oh, how she hated that smile in the face of that idiot, she was willing to give anything if just could wipe it from her face. She stopped, watching to her nemesis with boredom.
She was far more smart than that idiot, oh yeah, she can wipe that smile, with nothing more but words, her mom said once that words are worst than physical pain, that they can damage the soul, and she saw things far better than the common eye, so, she extended an evil grin, her unnatural cyan eyes shining with a dark gleam in them and soon a yellowish spark dancing within her bluish orbs, the gaze fixed in the enormous bear the dark haired child was hugging.
"Well, congratulations, Mitzy... He is very cute, it's a good thing, now you have a new companion in those lonely nights you have nightmares with many spiders, and you have to run to your paren... oh sorry, I totally forgot they're traveling... again."
She saw it, how the smile vanished, the hurt in that idiot eyes, like something have just punched her in the gut... Bloom saw Mitzy's granny with little Macy, she waved to the elder woman and walked again, leaving a very angry Mitzy releasing her ire with shouts and threats.
It feel amazing!
Soon she made it and stood in front the door of Andy's place. His mom opened the door, smiling as always, and calling Andy. He came two minutes later, carrying a turtle in his hands. Bloom caressed the reptilian one, laughing when it hid his head, but pleased when he saw she was no up to harm him.
"Well, what do you think if his name is Flash?"
Gardena's Central Park, Two Hours later.
Four figures appeared from the thin air with dark energy around them. Ogron looked the place, too many trees, and people... Gantlos snorted, scowling in his pace, followed by Anagan and Duman. Ogron sighed, at least they were on Earth, in a year that the so called fairy of the Dragon's Flame was just a child, if they have luck, a toddler, vulnerable and unaware of her true heritage...
They flew, trying to sense the weakly but latent energy of the redhead... suddenly, the energy came to them and disappeared as it came... a sinister smile appeared in the features of the redhead wizard, and soon, the four of them were in front of a house, where a man, a woman and a girl were having supper.
The girl was who they were looking for. Red hair, cyan eyes, light skin, that child, the one in a future would be the most powerful fairy alive... a shame if she dies before all that, right?
Gantlos jumped, smashing his fist against the concrete. Sonic waves making the earth shake like in an earthquake obliged the people in the houses to exit, searching for security spots. The four wizards using an invisibility spell ran, taking the little girl, nocking the elders, and disappearing to a security spot in Ireland, near to the place where many fairies were trapped in the mythical island of Tir Nan Og.
Gardenia, half an hour later.
Golden light surrounded the figures of nine persons. The blonde with turquoise scarf opened her golden eyes, looking around. Another woman stood behind her, with light brown eyes, also blonde, but with a dress in yellow and orange tones.
The remain of the group followed the redhead woman, and for the way they were taking, was obvious she was going to her adoptive parents' house, meanwhile, said redheaw was cursing the portal and how slow it came transporting the double of persons.
Too much silence, too much calm, and that was never a good signal. The siren of an ambulance near the place was even more weird, making the heart of the redhead skip a beat.
From a safe distance, the nine could watch the destruction generated by a focused earthquake... that, was the hand of Gantlos behind.
Bloom ran, unaware of the paradox she can create, but worry for her bleeding father, who was with a arm broken, and her mother who was unconscious.
Daphne ran taking her sister by her shoulders, giving the fire fairy a squeeze and a nod. Vanessa or this younger version of the human, stirred. Bloom kneel besides her father and mother.
"Hey, who are you?" A little girl with dark hair, and glasses asked.
"My name is Daphne Lindström."
"You known those losers? I mean, you don't look like a loser."
Daphne frowned, throwing a cold gaze to the girl "Is not polite to talk that cruel way about another people. Your parents have not educated you?"
The little girl blushed with embarrassment, and with hurt she looked away.
Stella couldn't reprimand a sneering smile, watching that future dark fairy wannabe being miserable. Oh great dragon, she knew what's means being a little bitchie sometimes, but thank dragon she was modifying that, she was truly ashamed for her childish behavior and she was looking for growing up and be the woman she needed to be, the queen she was destined to be for her people, that was her birthright... but of course, without leaving her passion for fashion behind. Mitzy, well, the only good thing she can say about Mitzy... the bitch has an adorable little sister.
"That's Mitzy" said Bloom in dominian language to her sister "She was my best friend but two years ago of this date, her father was hired by a great company in Switzerland and you know, money change people. Andy and I were not more of her level and position, so..."
"Humans are weird" said Daphne sadly. "How are your parents?"
"Dad is confused, and mom is crying, I'm nowhere to be seen, so I guess they already took her. But is not too late. I'm still here, still alive."
The nymph felt a hand in her shoulder, Thoren had a steeled gaze, but a warm smile in the lips, reassurance, everything will be fine and she believed it. The couple watched the others making questions, Stella frowning, Tecna with a scanner, Aisha with Roxy talking with a fireman, Musa looking with awe to a little Andy while talking with his father, another fireman like Mike... but was Flora and her skills with the nature who came with an answer.
Dublin, Ireland, September 1st.
When your life is over, it's time to make a new and that was exactly Draco's doing. An ex Death Eater, pawn of the most feared wizard in the wizarding Britain... a man with a stain, a man ashamed but grateful for having another chance.
Draco's mission was to learn about that culture that many years and by many pureblood wizards was looked as inferior, brutish and animal... the muggles, the people without magic, and in those two months, he was enlightened, he was confused but marvelled by the strange force that moved the muggles, and the weird devices they used to make their lives more... easy.
He saw the so called airplanes in a airport, also those weird things that muggles used like the red flo, to make calls, and the vehicles. He was watching one of those weird wooden cages with a cristal in front, where a man in a suit was talking about the weather, in a map with clouds and smiling sun-shaped figures. Also, he with a fellow Slytherin came to the muggle world and watched a movie... that was weird. Now he was in a muggle pub, drowning his sorrows in scotch and rum.
Due his part on the war, he was confined
to be in Europe, no access to international portkeys and having the aurors in his manor casting prior incantato to his wand everyday...
Dark magic began to fill the place, strong and nauseating... his hands closed in fists, taking his coat and walking away, wand in hand. Oh irony, that magic was so strong, the one who possessed that power easily could give Voldemort a run for his money...
He appeared away, following the source of the dark magic, and soon, he was in a beach, in front of the most bizarre scenario. A girl with no more than eight, nine years, with long red hair, screaming and biting, throwing kicks to four men. These men were laughing, and the one with red hair spoke.
"Is curious. You, in a future, the most powerful fairy in the universe... but now, only a pitiful excuse of a child."
"I don't know what you're talking about, scary man, my dad is fireman, and he will use his axe in you, he will make you regret the idea of kidnapping me!"
"Still a child and have spirit. Doesn't surprise me she was able to defeat us with those bloody fairies." The man with long blond hair said. He took his hat in hands, smiling coldly.
"Oh, shut up the fuck off, Gantlos" said a weird man, with purple hair "We need to kill her, the sooner, the better. This decaying vessel can't contain my soul longer, I need to avoid my death."
"You're insane!" Cried the child "You will regret this!"
Suddenly a red light hit the wizard with dreadlocks and dark skin, the tree others starting to look around.
"Don't you know harassing a child is a crime?" A voice came from nothing, the red head man started to shake, a hand glowing with dark purple magic.
"Who are you? If you're so brave, face us."
Brave, what a stupid and gryffindorish word. The disillusion spell wore off, Draco remained in calm, wand in hand, waiting for those idiots to attack. Soon, colours filled the coast, shield charms, dark curses, stunning spells from side to side, but Draco's was able to petrified three of them, leaving just one stand. The redhead man was angry, but was clever, he took his three companions and disappeared.
The young one stared at him with those unnatural cyan eyes, then she extended a warm smile, and with a few tears in her eyes, hugged him, letting the young wizard in shock.
"Wow! You're like Dr. Strange but with white hair!"
The girl looked the wizard with awe, Draco just raised an eyebrow.
"Dr. Strange?"
"Yup, he is a sorcerer, the most powerful in universe! My friend Andy likes comics, sometimes he borrows me some..."
"What's your name?"
"Bloom Elizabeth Schuyler, sir... yours?"
"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy"
"Wow, you like the James Bond's movies?" Asked the girl, Draco frowned "You said your name like he does in those movies dad likes."
"Where are you from? Who were those men?"
"Gardena" Said the girl frowning. "And those... I don't know, they came and kidnapped me. They wanted to kill me and one said he will have joy ripping off my skin and showing my head in front of some weird ones. Maybe they're cultist and wanna make a ritual for their satanic cults."
Draco laughed, shocking his head.
"Those were wizards. And you're in Ireland now. Do you want to come with me? I suppose you don't have anyone here."
The eyes of the girl opened like saucers, and her jaw drop.
"Mr. Malfoy, you're kidding, right? I can't be in Ireland, that's in Europe!"
He denied and took the little girl's hand. Before she could clearly comprehend what was happening, a weird sensation in her belly button alarmed her, an after a crack the both of them appeared away.
