Moving was terrible, not the physical side, with magic my room just fit into my backpack but just the thought that I'm not going down stairs to my parents for dinner each night, that I won't see them much at all. It all sucked so badly. Dad took me into the attic when I woke up and gave me a box, he claimed it was my birthright with items from Domino I could make use with. My world spun and spun, everything was just happening so fast. I can't be here to protect my parents if the witches attack so I'd have to rely fully on Faragonda to hear what exactly is happening these ways, that shit scared me.
I transported myself over to Hunter's to help in pack since his magic might be fine for attack spells but he still needed help here and there, I just waved everything into his bag and rushed home since I wanted to spend every second possible with my parents.
The three of us went out and got coffee talking about my powers and about Domino, a place I have yet to visit, they had been asked if they would like to back by Daphne but both declined saying they've made their lives on earth and would rather stay building them even more.
The day went by so fast and before I knew it, my friends and their families were all standing in the backyard and not a dry eye was in sight, very emotional time. I just hoped the witches had the decency not to interrupt us at such a time. As the sun began to dim the light around a portal to Alfea opened up, Faragonda exited and introduced herself, telling the parents about what we will accomplish at the school and updates on the current threat. She explained how this is no longer battle, but it is war. The witches had attacked more then just us, they had gone after schools such as Lynphea college, Beta Academy, Eraklyon Institute, one witch went into Cloud Tower and killed 3 of its students before stealing their magic. It seems the witches are gaining more and more strength by stealing the powers off dead victims. At the moment they wouldn't enter Alfea as the Winx Club are there and it is the most powerful fairy school in the universe, they might have a chance but one thing that didn't make sense is that they were going through these schools but only killing any witch or wizard at them. All fairies were left unharmed, which made me wonder why they were coming after us and attacked the Oracles, something just didn't make sense. Fairies have more power then witches slightly and it seemed strange they were also only killing and taking magic from NEW witches, Lynphea witches weren't all that, Beta's weren't super powerful, neither are Eraklyon's. There needs to be a reason why they're targeting these small places and massacring them.
Concern from the parents grew even more, Katie's mom who was the only one of her two parents present asked her to many think things over and suggested maybe they just train here instead, but we all knew Alfea is the highest ranking school and is probably our only chance at winning this war. Hunter however was the main concern since he is a wizard, which is like a counter-part of a witch, pretty much just a male witch. With his incredible power they might be after him in a snap, I just hoped it worked the same way as the dragon flame, that his power would only be taken by his own permission.
Gypsy suddenly appeared from nowhere and announced she would be joining us in Alfea, poor Gypsy, wingless and only relying on simple magic. But then again it was her time I suppose since she is quite old and frail, lucky she could get herself here since I can tell she isn't strong enough to get to the magic dimension alone, it made me wanna give back her Emergix but lets face it that the power is safer with us. I knew now the witches took the Oracles out because they were powerful fairies and a threat to their plans though it still made me wonder how they didn't just turn and kick their ass using much more cosmic energies which they potentially could, something just didn't make sense how the witches were 'immune' to Emergix, how they tapped into that much power is a huge wonder.
Finally Faragonda announced our depature, hugs and kisses, love, it all just flourished and the magic it created was pure and powerful. I grabbed Hunters hand and looking back walked through to Alfea, we stood in silence as the others came through then made our way to our dorm.
Arriving into our room I just sprinkled some magic on our briefcases and allowed all the belongings to fly everywhere, I went to throw more magic to arrange everything when Hunter grabbed my hand and cut me off, he sat me down and with that gorgeous smile told me 'Let's arrange the room together, without magic'. So from then until dinner we organized everything top to bottom, we secretly used our powers to bypass Tecnas bedding situation rule and moved them together. After that the alarm rang for dinner in the dining area, it was a massive room with I can't even count how many tables, girls everywhere. It was sort of weird being one of the three only guy students at this school, Scott seemed to love it being straight and all but I don't know I guess I'd just have to get used to it. Once satisfied we all just piled back to the dorm and hung in the lounge area talking about how our days would play out tomorrow it was strange, we had every class together except one, it was explained our one separate class from the rest would be a separate skill only the one of us would each do and maybe teach the rest of the team in time.
Mine would be Potion making, Scott's was charms which was sort of like Magic 101 but it was a little more advanced, Melanie was taking flight lessons as she was the fairy of air so she could probably fly a lot faster then all of us obviously it would need to be trained and I do know for a fact Enchantix gives much more velocity, Katie lucky bitch got a non-magic class where she just did the theory side of magic, while Rachel would be taking a class where she would be able to harness other natural fairy abilities outside of her powers such as Telekinesis, seeing the future and using divination, teleportation, healing, and all the rest. Hunter on the other hand would spend his extra class at Cloud Tower, he'd be teleported there just for an hour to learn a few things about his powers and controlling them since Professor Griffin was the magical expert when it came to dark powers, but he would be taught to use them without malevolence.
When I grew tired I made sure everyone knew it letting out a massive yawn before floating into the room and changing quickly into boxers before jumping into bed, Hunter joined me and cuddled up as we drifted off. In my dream I saw darkness everywhere, I saw faces just appearing and disappearing all laughing wickedly, I recognized some but at the same time for some reason things weren't clicking in my brain. It was as if somebody was messing with my head, sitting in the dream I thought of who could be doing this, over the years I had learnt to lucid dream so I had some control over what I did in them but somehow somebody else was controlling the scenery. Hunter blazed into my mind but I shook it off, though it made some sort of sense as he did have his hand on my head in the physical world but we both know that he loves me and isn't advanced enough for it, I knew witches were behind this, what did they even want with me and my team? Why us, what makes us so special to have 12 evil witches wanting to kill us? Then infront of me stood a very familiar face, this time I knew who it was properly.
'Balator?' I questioned wondering how real this was. He just smiled and begun to speak 'Jacob, I'm glad I was able to connect with you, I'm unable to tell you the full story as I only have seconds left but I must say this right now… Observe what the witches are doing and copy their lead, protect your team cause one will fail and pay the ultimate price, and be careful because the people you think you can trust most are your true destroyers'.
He exploded into dust after that and I forced myself awake, the sun was up anyway. I shook my man a little but the lazy bastard wouldn't move, with a groan I pushed myself out of bed to begin my day, had a quick wash and brushed my teeth, fixed my hair up and got some clothes on. I poured some coffee and had it ready for my boy when he decided to wake up, sitting out on the porch I played through Balators words again. Copy the witches lead, what the hell is he talking about? Kill fairies and steal their powers, torture people, maybe I just imagined it but something seemed real. One of us paying the price, what did that even mean? My inhibitions had been right, something was up but now I needed to figure out what.
After breakfast I went to my solo class of potion making, girls all in my class and all wanted to chat to the new boy, telling them I was gay made them even more interested. I met Cady, Roberta and Carrie who were all fairies from the planet Celara, which is more defense based rather then attack, they had powerful shielding abilities and could force their shields out to attack. I was able to create a successful sound blocking potion which silenced whoever I threw it at for a few minutes which only took a few oils and a drop of my magic. Then I was taught a simple healing potion, I had the dragon from within cut me slightly just to check if it would work and sure enough it did. After that was gym, I met up with the team and transformed before stepping on to our platforms for an assessment, it was straight forward really just to see our strengths so we just threw attacks and spells at objects flying by though we could fly around and attack these orbs ourselves. It was like a competition on who could destroy the most though we could only destroy ONE per spell. I flew off and chucked a 'Dragon Fury' attack at one shattering it, I saw Hunter from the corner of my eye using some of the new skills he'd just learnt to shoot his power at another, in the end Katie took it out using her magic to create multiple whips effectively taking out more then half of the floating orbs.
Classes went by and the afternoon just repeated, I called my parents after dinner and gave them both updates about how things were going for me then left it at that, lying in bed next to my man all I could think about was last nights dream. Just something was way off, Hunter however knew a small and satisfying distraction to get his mind off it all, a kiss between the two turned deeper and as the clothes came off well the lights went off.
