2.THE CLOUD TOWER FAIRY

"Man I slept like a newborn sloth.." Rose yawned as she and Narcissi went out of Professor Neglectum's Realm History of Banshees and Hags class. Narcissi closed her eyes imagining her hordes of evil headless demons crushing pixie wings like flies, but before that dream could become a reality..she needed the Whisperian Crystals to collect the powers she needed to dominate the realms. "What are you dreaming about? Bashing small fairies for your lunch?"

"How did you guess?" Narcissi laughed as they walked towards the library where a janitor was pushing a cart with no wheels with her mind. Narcissi stole a glance at the janitor as they walked by. "Speaking of bashing fairies.." she muttered.

"Hey Ivy...you missed a spot!" Rose chuckled casting a puddle of water next to the cart. Ivy slipped and fell down into the puddle and as she was getting up a giant black vine with prickly little thorns and swatted at Ivy growling and fizzing. Ivy shot up into the air entwined by the vine and started to get squeezed tightly. "How's the ivy treating you Ivy!" she laughed.

"Hey why not try this on for size.." Narcissi said snapping her fingers and six chains appeared around Ivy. She winced as the chains coiled and constricted her arms and legs. Suddenly Darra appeared from another hallway. "Ha...ha..look the little freshman's going to save the faculty fairy's butt." she added sarcastically.

"I don't need to." Darra commented dryly pointing up towards Ivy who was wincing and wiggling through the chains and ivy. "It seems Ivy knows how to survive on her own."

At that moment Ivy broke free of the chains but Rose sent up another vine of ivy knocking her against the wall. Darra laughed cruelly as her eyes glowed green and waved a hand towards Ivy. Ivy's eyes glowed too and transformed into a fairy, she darted away twisting Rose's vines around into a knot. Rose clenched her teeth..that freshman was possessing another fairy and was winning. Ivy's dark green wings fluttered rapidly like a hummingbirds as she sent a stream of lime green light sparking a flame on the ivy. Rose watched her dark vines burn in a lime green smoke, smelting them into a pile of ash on the floor.

"Why don't you stop hiding behind little fairies and fight me like a real witch Darra!" Rose shouted as Darra released Ivy from her grasp burning a green R on her forehead.

"Why don't you just stop hurting pesky little fairies just to intimidate me on how much power you have Rose?" Darra snapped as Ivy rubbed her eyes and saw the ashes on the floor, she cursed as she dug deep into her fallen cart extracting a small brush and dustpan which removed the ashes in a small puff of smoke.

"Oh man you are going to pay!" Rose snarled angrily.

"Cool it Rose, she's trying to torment you till you blow your head off." Narcissi commented. "And trap you in your own anger..isn't that right Darra?"

Darra fell silent..Narcissi smiled viciously. She needed someone talented like that.

"Well I would blow her head off right now!" Rose replied conjuring up a hand full of spikes. Narcissi stopped her, and slowly walked towards Darra.

"I still think you have the power to become one of us..care to try again?" Narcissi whispered, Darra's eyes narrowed.

"I don't think so." Darra murmured back, as she headed towards the library. "I work alone."

"Don't worry..that twit of a witch wasn't meant to be in the Rebel Witch Coven." Rose replied, Narcissi crossed her arms in disgust.

"Then who is?" Narcissi hissed impatiently.
