Chapter 5

First Classes

Flora, Mirta, and Ms. Faragonda sat in the Nurse's office. Karen laid unconscious, on a bed in the corner of the room. Flora sat at the end of the bed while Mirta and Ms. Faragonda sat in arm chairs that close to the bed. It was hours after the surprise and none of them had spoken since. The shock of Mirta's roommate being a dragon was too great for Flora and Mirta to even make a movement. Ms. Faragonda, on the other hand, seemed un-phased by this surprise, like she already knew that Karen was a dragon, let alone an Ice Dragon. Ice Dragons had a bad reputation for being nasty and aggressive towards others, but Karen didn't act like she was mean at all.

After a few more minutes of silences Ms. Faragonda stood up. Flora and Mirta snapped back to reality and watched Ms. Faragonda walk over to the door. "I am afraid that I must leave. You both should go back to your rooms and get some rest," Ms. Faragonda said, "Unless you want to stay."

Both Mirta and Flora gave nervous looks to one another. They did not want to be left alone with an Ice Dragon. But, she was their friend. How would they explain to Ms. Faragonda that they were afraid of their friend that they had also saved from death?

"I…. I want to stay," Mirta answered after a few minutes of silence. Flora nodded in agreement.

Ms. Faragonda smiled, "Well, then here are your passes. If you get caught in the halls on your way to breakfast, just show these to the teacher and they will let you go. I would like it if you two told no one what happened last night, not even your roommates. The only ones you can speak to about last night is Karen and me, although I highly doubt Karen will remember everything at first. Understand?" Flora and Mirta nodded and took the white slips of paper that were supposable passes from Ms. Faragonda.

"I must get to my office before my meeting with the Red Fountain Headmaster. Goodbye Flora, Mirta." Ms. Faragonda opened the door and disappeared behind the closed door. Mirta sighed.

5:00 am

Karen groaned as she slowly became conscious. Light from the open window shining into the room told Karen that it was morning. She opened her eyes and heard someone ask her, "How are you feeling, sweetie."

Karen sat up. Surprised by Flora, Karen answered, "Somewhere between ok and fine."

Karen looked around the room. "Sharp claws, beaks, orders," she mumbled desperately trying to remember what happened. It was clear to Flora and Mirta that she could not remember anything. Suddenly she shouted, "Octative Ravens!" and jumped out of bed as suddenly as she had shouted, but seconds later crouched down clutching her chest. The pain was nothing Karen had ever felt before.

"Take it easy, Karen!" Mirta shouted as she jumped out of her chair to help her. Flora also helped and together they help Karen back onto the bed. The pain eased up a minute later and she was more confused than ever.

"You broke a rib, Karen," Flora told her when she saw the confused look, "Surprisingly enough it's healing quickly." The room became quite until Mirta finally asked.

"Karen, why didn't you tell us you were a dragon?"

Looking down at the floor, she answered, "It's caused me more pain than you would think." She started to remember the angry people who had loved her before. She remembered the banging and shouting of people behind her, the leader of her tribe, and the dragons roar as they sentence her to leave the land she had known as home.

Karen started to cry. The pain came back but she ignored it. The fear was bigger than any pain that she had and probably would feel. The fear of losing her friends, her past, and the dragon she would transform into in the moonlight. She felt more helpless than she had the day she found out about her dragon powers.

Flora and Mirta tried to comfort her but it was no good. When Karen had stopped crying, Flora and Mirta talked with Karen, who seemed to be trying to hide something. Soon the fast becoming friends stopped talking and looked at the clock.

"I guess you guys better get going to lunch"

"Yea, we will have to talk to you later. Next time we will bring the rest of girls if you want," Mirta said while getting up.

"It's ok. You don't have to come. I have a feeling I will be out in a couple of days," Karen said as she watched Flora also get up. The two girls made their way to the door. They said their good byes and left for the cafeteria.

Cafeteria

Flora and Mirta were the last to arrive at the cafeteria. Bloom saw them and waved at them to come the group's table and the two girls joined the rest of the Winx Club.

"Where were you guys? When we woke up you weren't in the dorm at all," Bloom asked.

"We were at the nurse's office. Karen wasn't feeling well so we walked her over. She is going to have to stay there for a couple of days," Mirta lied.

"Oh."

Black Mud Swap

"Ugh! Icy, where are we going?" Storm whined as she lagged behind her sisters.

"We are going to a place that already belongs to us. Once we are there, that little sissy detention hall couldn't find us even if they tried," Icy answered. The three fugitive sisters trudge through Black Mud Swamp. Finally, the three witches reached their final detention, an old broken down shack.

"Ummm Icy, no offence, but a broken down shack isn't going to help us," Darcy said in disbelief. She had expected more than a broken down shack from Icy.

"Looks can be deceiving, Darcy." Icy walked up to the front door and ushered her sisters inside.

Back at Alfea

"I hate potions!" Stella stated angrily as the Winx Club walked up the hall towards her first class. Tecna, Mirta, and Flora turned right and started to walk away from the others.

"Hey Tecna, Mirta, Flora, where are you going? Potions are this way," Bloom asked.

Tecna turned around, "We know, but we have Charms first. Sorry girls."

"We will meet you back here for nature," Flora said with a wave and the group of girls parted.

Later

"Wow! Your classes sound much better than the ones at Cloud Tower!"

"Well, what did they teach at Cloud Tower?" Tecna asked Mirta as she, Mirta, and Flora walked out of Charms.

"Well to sum it up 'How to cause chaos 101' in every class," Mirta replied contently. Before Flora or Tecna could reply Bloom, Stella, and Musa appeared in sight.

"Yo, how was charms?" Musa asked, cutting Tecna, Mirta, and Flora's conversation short.

"It was boring. The teacher talked the whole time," Mirta, who was still learning the names of all of the teachers, answered.

"Same here."
