"In... Love.... with her?"
"Icy maybe a very powerful witch," Stormy said as she rolled out of bed. "But I've learn at cloud tower I've learn that people shouldn't keep diaries if they want to keep things secret."
Flora slipped out of bed still trying to allow this new information to sink in. "If she 'loves' Bloom than why is she always trying to kill her?"
"Well, Icy has a small streak in her." Stormy said. "She's been always tried to be strong, even when we were kids she'd been the 'protective big sister'."
"She doesn't seem to be the protective type to me," Flora said.
"After going to cloud tower she kind of changed into the uber-bitch she is when I got there, I took every advanced class that was open to me. Just to get up same level as them."
"Them?"
"Darcy and Icy, they are twins and have a good two years over me." Stormy wonder into the kitchen area, which was basically the same style of any other kitchen in a normal home. "They picked on me, I had a hell of a time getting into the popular group. When Icy started this whole 'take over the world' thing she finally entrusted me in, figuring she needed cannon fodder."
Flora was wave to take a seat at the breakfast table while Stormy took out two bowls, soon a bowl of cereal was place before Flora and her. "I guess I got sucked in, and while Icy had changed I've noticed she was still that 'big sister protector' she's always been when someone starts spreading nasty rumors or another witch tried to get the jump on me."
"I never knew."
"That's because she wants to be feared, if the other witches knew that she was protecting her little sister her reputation would be ruined."
The sound of the front door opening and closing caught Flora's attention, within seconds a young with curly hair in a long black dress with green eyes. The woman looked kind of like an older, calmer Stormy, she can only assume that this woman was Stormy's mother.
"Oh, you're awake," the woman said. "And so is your friend here too."
"Um, good morning." Flora said in a polite tone. "My name's Flora."
"I am Vicinal Trix," the woman said. "I am Stormy's mother, I'll leave you two alone." The woman bowed and left. Flora looked over at Stormy who was blushing a little.
"She seems nice," Flora said.
"That's only if you are her friend, cross her she's worse than I am."
"I'll try not cross her than."
Bloom had fallen asleep. Icy stood over her, on the outside she was scowling but within she was concern. For the last hour she'd been doing nothing but staying by her, by now her friends would busting down the doors with a gusto. She can only guess that something had happened, like the headmistress saying no to a rescue attempt or putting things on hold.
Icy shivered. She closed her eyes, she didn't want to let go of the girl and give up the dragonfire. But she knew that if Bloom wasn't released soon she could begin to fall into depression. She knew there was some kind of a solution to both problems, maybe she could wonder around the rest of the house?
Sighing Icy wonder out of the room into the rest of the house, which was once left abandoned by the edge of Magix. She sat down at a table to create a few special talismans to place them onto the exits and entrances, afterwards she wonder back into the basement to release the bonds.
Bloom stirred a little, but she remained asleep.
Icy sat down on the loveseat. In a short amount of time Bloom finally learn that the restraints were finally off, she rubbed her wrist while sitting up. Icy had expected the strange glances and the looks of paranoia.
"I've decided to let you roam around this house," Icy said in a smug tone. "It's kind of boring down here, don't you think?"
"I don't know what the trick is but I'm not falling for it."
"Stupid pixie," Icy growled. "I'm trying to allow you to move around, why can't you except that?"
"Well after all the times you tried to kill, maim and freeze me why should I trust you now?"
"Because I lov-" Icy caught herself. She had shouted in a fit of rage and now she felt like she was going to regret it. The look on Bloom's face alone made her nervous, and humiliated. "Because I loath you, you hear me pixie?" Icy said before going upstairs.
"That woman," Bloom said still stunned. "Is very strange."
