Chapter 3
Faragonda really didn't want to scream at Griffin. Although their students didn't know it they had been married since the Battle for Sparks against the Ancestral Witches. "Fara I didn't think that I would be getting a call from you today." Griffin said shocked. "Yeah well get your butt over here because I want to show you what three of your seniors did to one of my freshmen!" Faragonda snarled.
Two minutes later they were walking into the nurse's office and asked for Bloom's condition. "Ah Faragonda she has yet to wake up. I fear she may fall into a coma if she isn't awake by tomorrow. I truly fear the worse for that poor girl from what Tecna told me she was frozen for almost too long. She used up quite a bit of magic in an unknown spell far from enough to tire her but more than enough to tire your average fairy freshman." Ofelia said with a sigh. She led the two heads to where the young Raccoon lay unconscious.
Bloom lay on the hospital bed with a heart monitor hooked up. "She is breathing easily on her own." Ofelia said as way of good news.
"Your students saw which ones of mine that did this right?" Griffin asked looking to her wife. All she got was an angry nod as way of reply. "I'll bring the senior class here later today so they can get a look at the damage their fighting with fairies can do and your freshmen can identify who attacked your freshman fairy here so they may be punished."
Later that same day true to her word Griffin showed up at Alfea with the entire senior class. They entered the nurse's office much to Ofelia's annoyance. "Griffin couldn't think to tell me that your field trip would be to here?" She asked. "They need to see what their feud with the fairies have caused to someone." Griffin responded looking right at the other woman.
Ofelia sighed before leading the group of witches to Bloom. The girls from Bloom's dorm nicknamed the Winx Club took defensive positions around their friend seeing the witches from the night before and the rest of the senior class. "Since earlier she still hasn't woken up and I'm sorry to say with these freshmen here but I don't know if she will ever wake up. Her body is trying to repair the damage done from being frozen for as long as she was." Ofelia said looked down at the young Raccoon sadly.
"You! You caused this! YOU STOLE BLOOM FROM US!" to everyone's surprise Flora had screamed that lunging at the three of the seniors from the night before crying. She would have attacked them had Musa and Tecna not held her back. Griffin turned to her three top seniors snarling. "You three attacked her."
The three seniors gulped before nodding before the brown haired one in purple spoke. "Stormy and I didn't really want to but Icy said it would be a good idea..." Is all that was said, before Griffin cast a curse at the three making them quite.
"You three I will deal with after we return to Cloud Tower." Griffin snarled at the three who cowered away from the angry older witch.
There came a groan from the bed where Bloom laid. The Winx rushed to their friend. "Flora yelled? Why?" Bloom asked looking at the Winx girls.
"Those witches that did this to you are here, and yes it was me." Flora grumbled shocking the newly wakened Bloom.
"What happened? All I remember is exiting the phone booth after calling daddy. I was going to go back to the table to give Tecna her phone card back then nothing." Bloom said confused. Flora looked at Bloom with tears in her eyes before explaining how they had found her.
Bloom's eyes went wide as memories flooded through her mind. "Uncle Tennessee was there he fought to help me after I called him." Bloom said looking panicked.
"Bloom sweetie there was no one else at the scene." Flora said sitting carefully on the edge of the bed.
Bloom sighed before looking at the Winx. "There's something I have to tell you girls. When we can be alone." She said looking at the witches at the end. Griffin got the hint and moved her girls out of the room.
"Girls I wasn't entirely oblivious to my magic before Stella found me. I knew after an incident with my father and Le Paradox when I was fourteen my dad was sent back to Ancient Egypt. We had traveled through time trying to restore the Thievous Raccoonus as Le Paradox had gotten a time machine that my Uncle Bentley had invented with his girlfriend Penelope," Bloom had spat the name of the girl that had betrayed her family. "Penelope had betrayed my family and me and sold the blueprints to the time machine to Le Paradox to get Uncle Bentley to see that my daddy was wrong. That helping people and doing the right thing wasn't more important than money that was her theory."
"We traveled all through time sometimes having to return to our family's old ways. Thieving. Long story short Le Paradox had a vendetta against my family because of what my Grandfather had done. You see before he started a security company after meeting my Grandmother he had pulled a heist on a museum, the same museum and object that Le Paradox's father was planning to steal. My Grandfather had gotten there and out before Paradox's father, and he was caught. My Grandfather got away while Paradox's father was sentenced to jail and without someone to teach Le Paradox how to be a master thief like I and my father had. He was caught easily and put in jail. He learned how to be a good thief from the other inmates."
"He tried to send Carmelita, Daddy and I hurdling through time and space but Daddy he… he saved me and Carmelita but got lost in time himself. We had spent months upon months looking for him there I would go long periods of time without sleep and they lasted until I fainted but start again a few days later. After a while my Uncle Bentley, who had been holding the Thievous Raccoonus for Daddy, had passed it down to me on my fifteenth birthday as is customary for the Cooper Clan."
"I was flipping through it one day when I had found a section of the book that were about three four pages of text stuck together my dad and I had always thought that it was just a thicker paper used for that Ancestor. It was really Cooper Family spells. I had found one that would supposedly call forward any Ancestor of the caster's choosing to the caster's place in time and space at the casting of the spell. It would freeze the time that they were brought from to preserve the time lines. They would have to be sent back when the Ancestor was A.) No longer able to help or B.) When the caster sent them back. I knew I couldn't use it to bring Daddy home for good or even find where he was as you had to know the when and who to being someone forward. So for the heck of it I called forward Tennessee Kid Cooper or as I call him Uncle Tennessee or Uncle Kid. I call all the ancestors that I met when I went time traveling with Daddy, Uncle Murray and Uncle Bentley, and also unknown to us at the beginning Carmelita, Uncle." Bloom explained. Tecna was amazed that her family had a time spell and a time machine. Musa seemed to not believe Bloom until to prove she wasn't lying Bloom called forward Sir Galleth.
To everyone's surprise barring Bloom a knight showed up in front of them. "Ah why hath I been callthed through time into this rather bizarre room? Oh my lady Bloom Cooper. Did thou needth anything?"
"No Uncle Galleth I wanted to introduce some friends of mine though." Bloom said and did introductions before returning Galleth to his place in time.
"Awesome I just met a medieval knight." All the winx were thinking.
Tecna was the first to break out of her shock. "Do you think I could look at the Thievous Raccoonus? I swear that I'll never reveal the spells to anyone without your approval, and maybe meet your Uncle Bentley if that's alright with both of you." She asked with a spark of hope in her eyes.
"I'll talk to Uncle Bentley and the rest of my family they actually want to meet you guys at least the ones from this time. The ones back in the past don't know about you guys yet." Bloom said before thinking about Tecna's first question. "I don't see why you guys can't look at the Thievous Raccoonus. I have this strange feeling that we are going to be close to a Cooper Gang." At this the other Winx girls was confused as to what Bloom meant.
"Coopers like myself as I was Blood adopted through an old Cooper family ritual my Grandfather had taught to daddy before he died. We have a group of friends that will become family to us that we run with there could be two or more people with us. At least one muscle and one brains. My Grandfather's brains Doctor M became evil after Grandpa died though claimed the Cooper Vault as his own. Scary thing about the vault it clasped but I went back a year later and it was back to how it was before. I could take you guys over the summer if you want." Bloom said looking thoughtful at the end.
"Why don't I go let Ofelia know you woke up? She was really worried about you Bloom. We all were." Flora said rising from the bed and walked out to the main office.
"There are spells that all of you would like. My Ancestors all had different passions. Auto Van Cooper's spells along with my Grandfather's you would like Tecna. There a few that would help for music, make up, anything really." Bloom said before Flora and Ofelia entered the room.
"Well Bloom you can go back to your dorm to rest. Just don't use magic for maybe five hours and you should be okay." Ofelia said after she finished checking Bloom over.
"Thanks Ofelia have a good day." Bloom said as she went to leave the Nurse with the Winx following close behind.
Once Bloom had entered her room she grabbed the Thievious Raccoonus before heading for the living room. "The last time this book was read by someone without a Cooper's approval was when my Grandparents were murdered trying to protect Daddy and this very book from the Fiendish Five. The book was split into five pieces. Clockwerk, Sir Raleigh, Mz. Ruby, Muggshot, and the Panda King each had a section. Daddy brought the book back together when I was little." Bloom said before handing the book to Tecna.
"I'm glad you asked for approval instead of taking it Tecna. All I ask is that you only discuss what is in that book with those in this room and that you don't scan it into a database and only onto a means of storing information that can't be hacked into if you must." Tecna nodded thanking Bloom before she began to read.
