Chapter three
They let Bloom sleep the sunny evening away, Faragonda, Griselda, Palladium and Du Four getting some rest to stay awake with the fire fairy during the darker hours. They had no doubt she would have trouble falling to sleep. The breeze began to pick up around ten as it grew dark, and seeing Bloom shiver Codatorta picked her up and carried her inside, placing her on the sofa. Avalon grabbed a spare blanket from the closet and draped it over her causing her to roll on her side and grip said blanket.
"Cute ain't she?" Zarathustra asked as she and her twin left the room to make drinks. The remainder of the family sat down, switching on the television, trying their best to act normal. Faragonda had just downed her third cup of tea whilst trying to ignore Griffin who sat beside her smirking.
"And what may I ask, has caused you to look like that?" The grey haired fairy asked as she reached for the teapot to pour herself another cup.
"Just thinking that you really are starting to sound and act like an old woman….. Although you always have done when it comes to tea." The green skinned witch grinned as the aforementioned fairy gave her the stink eye, shaking her head. Faragonda paused about to retort until Bloom groaned as her body tensed.
"No….. Not going….." Bloom murmured under her breath, Du Four crouched down beside her head and pressed a soothing hand on the young girl's forehead, who stilled and let out a sigh of contentment. The fairy of manners sat down on the floor beside Bloom gracefully before reaching over and taking her cup of tea from Avalon with a grateful smile.
"Even here she can't escape." Griselda spoke solemnly, searching their youngest family members face for distress, finding none she calmed slightly. The brown haired woman was still concerned however. To see what is to come may sometimes be a blessing, but to have no control over it, and to see what she does must be awful.
"No, although she did manage a solid couple of hours sleep on the beach." Palladium ran his fingers through his hair, a nervous habit he had picked up from Avalon and Faragonda he was sure. The family smiled at the thought of Bloom getting even a couple of hours of sleep.
That evening the family drifted off to bed leaving a now awake Bloom sat curled up into Griselda's side as she sipped on her hot chocolate. Faragonda, Palladium and Du Four were arguing over what film to stick on as the two women watched.
"The other woman would definitely cheer Bloom up. Who wouldn't want to get their own back on a cheating husband?" Du Four grinned as the other two froze, knowing that would let her win. Bloom would love to see three women torment and harass a cheating husband. They looked at the sleepy woman who had changed into a onesie and was now chatting to Griselda about some clothes they had seen online. Faragonda stood up to make popcorn as Palladium started to set up blankets and pillows for the five of them, grabbing some juice from the fridge and some cups. Faragonda handed him the teapot and he took it into the living room with an amused shake of his head. Du Four sat in front of the T.V. wondering why the film wasn't coming on. Due to the no magic policy of the resort realm allot of the technology they had was ancient. Bloom came to kneel beside the professor of manners and giggled.
"You have to press 'play' on these, it's not automatic like the one at Alfea." The red head grinned as she pressed the play button, trying to dodge out of the way as Du Four swatted her arm.
"I can't help it if you were brought up with ancient technologies." The long haired professor teased, her silver hair swaying gently as she poked the young woman's side, causing Bloom to stick her tongue out at her. The two settled on the large couch, Bloom opting for the middle, next to Griselda as Faragonda stole the seat on her other side and Palladium sat on the end. The five laughed and chatted as they watched the film, each commenting on their favourite parts. Once the film had ended they voted on the next film, and so the rest of the night was spent in a similar fashion.
Griffin and the others were up and dressed for around seven in the morning after they all had had a fitful night's sleep. They were gathered around the table as they chatted, Bloom deciding to leave for a shower.
"So now that Bloom's gone, you all had a terrible night?" Faragonda asked her family, not believing their story about sleeping in a new place to Bloom.
"No….. Sister and I felt as though we were being watched." Elditrude spoke softly, her twin nodded solemnly. The others agreed with this, each explaining how they each awoke multiple times in the night to the feeling that they were not alone.
"Do we tell Bloom?" Du Four asked softly, doubting that Bloom would take the news all too well.
"Later, let her get some more sleep this afternoon." Faragonda spoke with finality, after observing Bloom begin to drift off a few times during the night. The others agreed, clearing the table of breakfast dishes and cups and changing the subject to what they wished to do that day as Bloom wandered into the kitchen yawning, hair still damp.
"What are we doing today then?" The red head asked as she sat down next to Griffin.
"We thought a hike this morning and then relaxing on the beach." Saladin told the young red haired girl who nodded at him, smiling tiredly.
"Sounds like fun." The red head spoke, blowing softly on her cup of tea, grateful for the warmth. The lack of sleep was making her feel cold. She shivered slightly and Avalon draped his coat over her, and they set about getting ready for the day ahead.
