Flora was slightly taken back to see Tecna standing at the door of the witch's home. Stormy and her mother were standing behind her, kind of on defence.

"It's alright," Flora said. "Would you mind if she came in, miss. Trix?"

"If she doesn't intend on destroying our home," Miss. Trix said. "She can come in."

Tecna shifted her weight as she step into the lovely apartment, high ceilings, carefully crafted furniture and lovely color schemes. If Tecna wasn't here, seeing this she wouldn't believe that a witch's home would be such a beautiful place.

"Maybe I should explain everything," Flora said.

"That might help a bit," Tecna said.

"Why aren't you coming?" Stella demanded. Bloom have been standing about a few feet away from the small house that Icy had kept her in. "We came all this way for you? If you want to stay, than stay."

Bloom was silent for a moment. Both Stella and Musa looked at each other than at Bloom.

Swallowing hard Bloom finally spoke. "I want to stay, until I'm sure she won't kill herself."

"Bloom?" Stella said. She looked over towards Musa than shook her head. "Do you want us here? Just in case?"

"Thanks, but I would rather be alone with her." Bloom said.

Bloom sighed, she walked towards the house and peer in to see Icy asleep on her small cot. Silently creeping in she placed a hand on the ice witch's head.

"I thought I told you to leave." Icy said without looking up. "Why are you still here?"

Bloom was silent as she brushed Icy's head. Icy Shifted around but stay where she laid.

"Why won't you just leave me?"

Bloom lean down and slowly whispered softly into her ear. "Because I love you."

Do you? Thought Icy as she fell asleep.
