Chapter 4

After everyone had entered Ms. Faragonda's office Covetta took a set while the others stood around her.

"So you are from Earth." Ms. Faragonda said, "How did you get past the magical barrier?"

"What magical barrier?" Corvetta asked.

"There is a barrier around Magix that stops all non magical beings from entering." Stella said.

"If there was a barrier then I should not be here should I?" Corvetta asked.

"That is unless you have a magical power that is." Musa said.

"But I don't have any powers." Corvetta said while looking at everyone.

Corvetta stood up and walked out the door of Ms. Faragonda's office leaving everyone speechless. Everyone was a little surprised at Corvetta's reaction.

"Let me go and talk to her." Bloom said as she looked at everyone.

"I'm coming with you Bloom." Roxy said before Bloom could leave.

Bloom turned around and shook her head and both girls took off after Corvetta. After searching a few halls the two decided to split up to cover more ground. After going down a hall Bloom ran into Darcy carrying some papers.

"Hi Bloom." Darcy said with a smile.

"Hi Darcy." Bloom responded.

"Is everything ok?" Darcy asked.

"No we're looking for someone." Roxy said as she walked up.

"Who are you looking for?" Darcy asked with a concerned face.

"The person we are looking for came here with me and the others. She is from Earth but was able to pass through the barrier that stops non-magical beings from entering Magix." Bloom said, "You haven't seen anyone that you've never seen before have you?"

"I did see someone that I didn't recognize climbing the stairs of the west wing tower." Darcy said, "That might have been her."

"Thanks Darcy." Bloom said as her and Roxy rushed off to the stairs.

As both girls neared the door at the top of the stairs they could hear someone outside. When Bloom opened the door slightly she could see Corvetta outside complaining to herself.

"Why do I have to have these powers?" Corvetta yelled.

Corvetta walked a few steps away from the door and sat down on some benches and looked down at the quad below. Bloom looked at Roxy and both quietly went out the door to the observation deck.

"Why do I have to be a freak like all of the others here?" Corvetta said to herself not noticing Bloom and Roxy walking up, "What would my friends think if they knew?"

"I see that you found one of my favorite places to be alone." Bloom said.

Corvetta turned to see both fairies standing behind her looking at her with sadness in their faces.

"How long have you two been there?" Corvetta asked with anger in her voice.

"Long enough to find out why you got through the barrier." Bloom said as she sat down next to Corvetta.

"So you found out that I'm a freak." Corvetta said as she looked at the people down in the quad.

"Listen Corvetta you are not a freak it is you just have powers that your friends don't." Roxy said as she sat down next to Bloom.

"I don't care my friend would not talk to me again if they ever found out about my powers." Corvetta said as she turned towards Roxy with anger in her eyes.

"Why do you think that your friends would not talk to you again if they found out about your powers?" Bloom asked.

"Because I know my friends, if only they weren't fairy powers." Corvetta said with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"How do you know that they are fairy powers they could be the powers of a witch." Roxy said as she looked over at Corvetta.

"The reason that I know they are fairy powers is that about two years ago just before my father passed away my powers started to show up while I was helping him work on a car at the garage." Corvetta said, "When he asked me to get him a wrench I turned to go and grab it but the wrench actually floated to me."

"That explains when and how you found out you had powers but not how you know that they are fairy powers." Roxy said.

"I was getting to it, when the wrench got over to me I told my dad what just happened and showed him, after another wrench floated over to me I could feel something building up inside of me and a light surrounded me and when it disappeared I was standing there in an outfit that I hated." Corvetta said.

"Why did you hate it?" Bloom asked.

"I hated it because I think that the look of a fairy is to girly for my tastes." Corvetta said.

"Wow I am sorry to hear that but you do gain more power when you are in your fairy form." Roxy said while she looked down at the ground.

"I don't need your pity." Corvetta said as she looked at Roxy.

"Do you know what your powers are?" Bloom asked with sympathy in her face.

"Like I said I don't need your pity, but yes I do know what my powers are I have been able to create different tools but I can also use them to help me when I am working on cars." Corvetta said.

"So you must be a fairy of Machines and Tools maybe." Bloom said.

"Probably." Corvetta said.

"I think that we should go back and let the others know why you stormed out of Ms. Faragonda's office." Bloom said as she stood up.

"Fine but I am not going to like this." Corvetta said as she followed Bloom to the door of the tower.

As the three walked back to Ms. Faragonda's office the three did not talk to one another. Down the hall from the office Bloom stopped and turned around and looked right at Corvetta.

"Corvetta I think you should transform after we get in there." Bloom said as she looked at Corvetta.

"Why should I?" Corvetta asked with anger in her voice.

"I know that you said you hate that you are a fairy." Bloom started to say.

"But you want to surprise everyone in the office is what you were going to say." Roxy interrupted with a smile.

"That's exactly right Roxy." Bloom said as she looked over at Roxy.

Both girls looked at Corvetta who had a look of anger in her face.

"Fine what ever." Corvetta said as she walked by into the room.

As Bloom entered she saw everyone looking worried.

"What happened and where is Ms. Faragonda?" Bloom asked.

"Ms. Faragonda will be right back she just had to get something from her room." Stella said.

"It started after you two left to find Corvetta." Sky said.

"What happened?" Roxy asked.

"I told everyone that when Lutina came to the shop that I could see her say something to Helia but could not hear what she had said." Flora said with sadness in her voice.

"So you didn't hear her say that Helia was who she was going to be targeting?" Bloom asked.

"No I didn't I couldn't even move at that time." Flora said with tears filling her eyes.

"After Flora told us that Ms. Faragonda had such a face of fear that we asked what was wrong. She did not answer us but said that she would be back a few minutes. Also if you had gotten back before her to take a seat and wait till she got back." Layla said as she tried to cheer up her friend.

A few moments later Ms. Faragonda returned holding a picture frame in her hands. She sat down and looked at everyone.

"Everyone did this Lutina you are talking about look anything like the girl in the picture here?" Ms. Faragonda asked as she revealed the picture.

As they all looked they were shocked at the picture. Standing in the picture was a short pale skinned fairy wearing a strapless white top with a long pink skirt, light blue boots that reached halfway to her knees, her dark purple wings were the shaped like bird wings. She had straight light purple hair that reached to the middle of her back and dark purple eyes.

"Other then her hair and eyes and the fact that Lutina did not have wings she looks identical to her, who is she?" Nikea asked.

"She was one of my roommates while I attended Alfea. Her name is Laurel and she was from Solaria." Ms. Faragonda said with sadness in her voice.

"What happened to her?" Bloom asked as she looked at the headmistress.

"She was a smart fairy it was just she took fights with the witches of Cloud Tower to far, true we had fights with the witches just like you did but after we defeated them and they were retreating she would actually hunt them down and attack them without mercy." Ms. Faragonda said while she gripped her two hands together, "She even killed a few of the students of Cloud Tower that is why she was permanently expelled."

"Do you happen to know what happened to her?" Flora asked.

"I did try and keep in contact with her, but a year after she left the school she just disappeared from the magical realms. I did try and get in contact with Rosaline of Linphea the only friend that she ever told any of us about. But when I did get a hold of her family, she had disappeared also." Ms. Faragonda said with tears falling down her cheeks.

"So what made you think that Laurel could have been Lutina?" Musa asked.

"Because of what Flora had said, Laurel was a fairy of visual light and she could use her powers to control other people's minds." Ms. Faragonda said as she looked at everyone.

Everyone sat there quietly for a few minutes until Bloom stood up and walked over to Corvetta.

"So you ready to surprise everyone?" Bloom whispered.

Corvetta shook her head and stood up.

"What's up?" Musa asked, "What kind of surprise does Corvetta have for us?"

"How did she know what you said?" Corvetta asked with a confused look.

"Musa has supersonic hearing being the fairy of music." Bloom said with a smile on her face, "The surprise that we have for you all is why Corvetta was able to pass through the barrier."

"So why was she able to pass through it?" Stella asked.

Bloom looked over at Corvetta and shook her head.

"It's time." Bloom said as she watched.

Corvetta closed her eyes and stood still for a few seconds.

"Transform." Corvetta said as she opened her eyes.

Corvetta floated up into the air and a bright silver light surrounded her, as she started to spin around a sparkly navy blue tank top that stopped above her belly button and a pair of sparkly navy blue shorts that went to her knees. Corvetta spread her arms a part gears appeared out of them and began to float around her. As the gears passed by her legs a pair of navy blue ankle boots appeared on her feet the gears then passed in front of her hands before revealing some navy blue gloves. As the gears disappeared behind her a set of navy blue wings grew out of her back. She then slowly floated back down to the ground.

Everyone's jaws dropped at the sight of Corvetta standing in front of them.

"You're a fairy!" is all Stella could say.

"Yes but I hate that I am." Corvetta said as she transformed back to her civilian form.

"You might hate it but that does not change the fact that you are a fairy." Ms. Faragonda said.

"So when did you find out about you being a fairy?" Nabu asked.

"Two years ago before my dad died in a car crash." Corvetta said as she looked away from everyone.

"So why didn't you use your powers to try and help Isaac?" Nikea yelled.

"I didn't use them because I don't like them." Corvetta said as she glared at Nikea.

"Even if you don't like them you still should have tried to help." Nikea said as she stared right back at Corvetta.

"Nikea she has not been trained to use her powers it was a complete accident that she even discovered that she was a fairy." Flora said as she walked over and placed a hand on Nikea's shoulder.

"Listen Nikea if anything did happen to him I will get revenge for him." Riven said as he leaned against a wall.

Everyone quickly turned their attention toward Riven who opened his eyes and looked at Nikea.

"Thanks Riven." Nikea said with tears coming down her face.

Ms. Faragonda looked outside before turning back to everyone. She stood up and walked around her desk.

"Everyone it is getting late you should all stay here tonight." Ms. Faragonda said, "Nikea you and Corvetta will be staying with Roxy and her roommate tonight and I don't want any fighting, girls your facility's living courtiers are still empty and you boys can have the other empty facility' living courtiers tonight."

"Good so I can apologize to Florina for leaving Amelia's memorial early." Nikea said.

"Florina did not come back to school this year." Roxy said.

"That's unfortunate because I wanted to explain what happened to her." Nikea said.

"She was sad that you two left early but understands that you needed to go." Roxy said as everyone stood up.
