Chapter 27

'Missed me?"

As soon as she heard the sound of a roaring engine passing over the school, Flora sprinted out of her room and ran down the stairs, accidently bumping into students in her rush. On her way to the courtyard she couldn't stop the flow of doubts and fear from resurfacing in her mind.

Maybe he's not with them. Maybe they couldn't find him. Or that monster might have tortured him or hurt him really badly...

She felt like her brain was going to explode from worry. She almost didn't notice Kiko jump on her shoulder, he looked as worried and as nervous as her. She pushed open the doors of the main entrance entrance.

The sight before her made her speed up, a big smile appeared on her lips. They all stood in front of her. They were waving and smiling at her. Some of them were carrying pretty little pixies in their arms. But she didn't take the time to go and meet them because she was already flinging herself in his arms.

" You're back " she mumbled in his chest, relieved to finally see him again. It didn't take long for him to hug her back.

" Missed me?" He joked while tightening his grip around her. It felt really nice to be in his arms. However a small voice interrupted their little moment.

"Hey guys, you're kind of crushing me. " The two of them jumped apart in shock. finally noticing the small pixie that had ended up stuck between them,

" Wow I really thought I was going to die from lack of oxygen. I really couldn't breath. And I can't die now, everybody would be so sad. Who would entertain my friends with great stories and jokes if l wasn't here? And who would protect Luckett and Piff? l mean Layla and Bloom would probably do it but..." The small pixie continued to babble on and on. Her talkative personality made Flora chuckle in amusement and Darkell grind his teeth together in annoyance. He felt a headache coming.

" Yeah we get it blondie, the world would be miserable without your eternal babbling... So please could you shut up for one second. " The young man bluntly said while rubbing his temple. in pain.

" Dimitri don't be rude " Flora chastised the older man. She pushed him to the side and approached the small pixie.

" Hello darling I'm Flora. Could you tell me your name? "

" Hi, it's super great to meet you Flora. My name's Chatta. Let's be friends." They both smiled at each other. They seemed to be in some kind of trans.

Oh no, no way in hell. This is not happening! I won't let you snatch my fairy away, blondie!

Both girls headed back to Flora's Room. Completely leaving him behind. Before they turned the corner he just had time to see the pixie stick out her tongue at him.

Oh now it's on. Especially now that I have most of my powers back... You are going to regret this.

The rest of the team and the Pixies had witnessed the little scene.

" Wow you weren't exaggerating Stella, they really do act like a couple. And they themselves don't even see it ." Layla commented while watching the history teacher glare back at the pigtailed pixie.

" This is so romantic". Amore added excitedly.

The others just smiled, they were kind of getting used to those two idiots in denial.

A few days later, things went back to normal. The girls had finished with their classes for the day and were now in their apartment spending time on getting to know their new little friends. While that was happening, Darkell was sitting in the principal's office, discussing with her about his new assignments. It seemed like with some of his powers back he would get more responsibilities which also meant more work,

"So we'll do it tonight? "He asked her.

She nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, that would be the best. I feel like we need to show the girls that they have still got a lot to learn. "

"Yes you are probably right, their win against the Trix last year and their successful mission a few days ago might overboost their ego and confidence. That might be a big problem especially when they're only in their second year of magical school, young overconfident fairies make easy prey for dark magic users. " He said calmly to the woman.

" Yes. And they seem to trust and respect you quite a lot. That's one of the reasons why l chose you for this particular job. Well of course I also picked you because you're the most knowledgeable on the subject."

Darkell smirked at the compliment, even after all the crimes and horrible things he did, that didn't stop people from seeing his genius mind and his incredible memory, who was he kidding his Millenium knowledge was the main reason why he was here and not locked up somewhere with his brothers.

At midnight, the girls were peacefully sleeping surrounded by their very comfy blankets and pillows. They had even created small beds for their small friends. Some of them were snoring while others were rolling around on their mattress trying to find the perfect position. However their sleeping was interrupted by a very loud knocking on the entrance door.

" What's happening ? Who comes knocking at people's doors in the middle of the night ?" Musa mumbled tiredly while getting out of her bed to answer the door. Flora and Layla went to stand behind her, curious to see who this late night visitor was. Musa with her hand tried to repress a yawn while opening the door.

"Yes ? Can l help you?.. " But the three girls' eyes widened at the sight of Mrs. Faragonda behind the door.

" Wake up the rest of the girls and follow me. We have an emergency." Her words made their eyes widen even more.
