The three primary law enforcement agencies of Magix are Specialists, the I.D.S. and M.P.P.D.. Each one serves in their own situation. Specialists take on terrorists, monsters and rescue mission. I.D.S. (Intermetro Detective Syndicate) investigates murders, robberies and cases that require going over crime scenes and analysis. M.P.P.D. (Magix Patrol Police Department) is quick response peace offices for domestic disputes and other cases of the same situation.

Bloom mentally groaned as she tried to memorize this allow with several other facts for modern social class, since she was the only one taking the class she really did not have anyone she can take notes from and that caused her to do a little more extra work. Maybe she could ask Musa or Techna about this since they had the best grades of the group, sliding away from the books she looked around the room a bit wondering if she should keep trying to cram this into her mind or take a break and find the others. Bloom sighed as she return to the facts, she was already behind in this class enough. She was emerged in study she did not notice Stella walking into the room or sneaking up behind her, "Bloom?"

Bloom looked up at her blonde friend with tired eyes. "Hi Stella, here for the Biology notes?" she turn herself in her chair as she riffle through the piles of papers until she came up with one sheet.

"No, I'm not here for that." Stella placed a friendly hand on Bloom's shoulder, "I was invited to go out with Sky and I wanted to know if you want to go out with Brandon on a double date?"

Bloom blushed a bit as shifted, as far as she knew her and Brandon are not a totally committed couple. Not yet, at least. "I'll see when I talk to him later," she return to the work on her desk.

"Common Bloom, all you do is study now. Take a break and have some fun," Stella coaxed her friend as she near in, she was a little worried about her friend. A smile crossed her face as Bloom pushed away from the desk, "I will callBrandon in a few minutes."

Bloom smiled as she was about to follow her blonde friend when Flora walked into the room, "Hello."

"Hi, Flora. What's up?" Bloom said as she stood up, "Stella and I were about to leave." The smile slowly fell as the face of her brunette friend was one of a depression.

"I have some bad news, Musa's at the hospital." Flora said. Bloom felt a small lump in her throat as Stella felt a small pit formed in her stomach when she said it, "Techna told me before going there."

"Come on, the bus to Magix is going to leave in the next few minutes." Bloom was trying leave as she heard her friend was in trouble the others had to keep up as the redhead ran down the hall almost knocking some students down, Flora quickly apologize for her as they passed by. At the bus stop they all boarded quick, Stella paid for the fair. They headed into town.

She was impatient after waking up to find the third bed empty this morning, there was a plan of them capturing the dragon's fire from that fairy but without the third point of magic it was near impossible. It was almost noon and Darcy was still MIA for the two Trix sisters, Stormy was calmly - as calm as she can be - looking over the information on her computer about any spells they can use later on as Icy was growing more and more angry as she shimmered. Thinking of what to say when the missing witch appears.

The two were in their parts of the room silently growing tired of waiting when a knock at the door had brought their attention, behind the door was one of the school's messengers. She appeared to be holding a small letter towards Stormy, "Nancy Trix?"

"It's Stormy, Stormy Trix." the weather witch growled as she forcibly snatched the letter out of the messenger's hand, slamming the door as she wonder over to a still peeved Icy. "There is no marking."

"Let me look." Icy snatch the letter away as she walked away from the angry witch as a few sparks shot through her body, "Nancy."

"Do you want to die, Irene."

"What was that, Nancy?" Icy snapped as the two growled at each other, the two nearly butt heads as they growled. The letter fell onto a nearby table forgotten just as Knut had snuck into the dorm through the back way with the items they requested. Since the two was having a stare down and Darcy was not around to break them up Knut wisely stayed out of this, he set down the bag of magical items onto the table he noticed an unmarked letter. He picked it up as he opened it then read it.

"Darcy's in the hospital? I better get her some flowers later." Knut had caught the two witch's attention, they pushed him down as they both grab the letter reading it over. True enough at 10 AM Darcy Trix was checked into the emergency room, the two looked up at each other ignoring the ogre as they silently wonder who did Darcy piss off. Stormy knew that last night she was cutting off Riven and sometimes her little "pet" projects often become violent, she growled as the idea of snapping the cherry man in half if he had done something to him. Icy wonder what she said to wind up in the emergency room, it has happened before with this fairy named Diaspro Coniglio. The two left the room leaving Knut to fend for himself, he struggled to stand up gave for the time being.

Musa paced around the waiting room for nearly two hours now, she came here following the ambulance out of her conscious bothering her. To her it would have been wrong to just let the ambulance take the injured woman and go on as if nothing happened, that would be callous of her. Even if the woman was Darcy. Musa sat down wondering what had happened, the I.D.S. was investigating the case but she was wondering who had done that to Darcy.

"Musa?" the pig tailed woman looked up to see Techna entering the waiting room with concern written on her face. "What happened?"

"I was in the park talking a small walk when I happen to found someone laying under some bushes." Musa spoke trying to keep her voice steady, "she was beaten badly and needed help. I called as fast I could and came here to check on her."

"Musa?" Techna did not know what to do in this situation, Musa seemed very upset about something that she was not telling her but said nothing. Maybe the action not taken would be best, she seat down next to the girl. For the time being the room was silent except for the steady breathing of the two and the constant ticking of the clock which was slowly weaning on their nerves but they said nothing, when the others had arrived it was a welcomed relief.

"Musa, you okay?" Flora hugged Musa as she was feeling very relieved that her friend was all right, she backed away for a moment to give her some breathing room. "What happened?"

Musa shifted as she looked down licking the dry roof of her mouth as she try to retell her story again, "I was in the park taking a small walk when I had found this girl beaten badly and called help. I wanted to stay to make sure she is all right." she looked up at them as they nodded, in her place anyone of them would do the same.

"So, you are okay?" Stella spoke but said nothing as she knew when not to speak, Bloom step forward to lay an arm on Musa's shoulder. "Do we know who this girl is?" Musa looked down away from as her breath caught in her throat as her mouth had grown dry. Luckily the doctor, a middle aged man with salt and pepper hair, came in to spare the detail.

"Ms. Festa?" he said in a calm tone causing the girls to be nerves as it was too neutral for their taste. "The young woman will be all right, she just needs a night to rest up. You can visit her tomorrow."

Musa nodded as the room grew less cold and stoic, "thanks." the girls walked out of the hospital but Musa stayed behind the group a bit as she looked up at the building wondering what had happened. Darcy, what happened to you?

"Musa," the pigtailed girl returned to reality when Stella spoke. The two were a little ways from the group, perhaps for privacy. "Who was the girl, was it a girl from the other school." Musa knew what the blonde meant, was it a witch?

"Yeah. It was Darcy, she was pretty roughed up." Stella stared ahead a bit silent, well she deserved it is expected from her. But Stella looked over, her eyes were serious and harden.

"Not even she deserved to be hurt like that." Stella spoken in a soft yet somber tone that left Musa a little shaken, she never heard the girl speak like that.

"Stella?"

"I'm just, I had seen this before when I was young." Stella looked a bit far off as if her mind was going into her memories, "it is something I don't want to talk about." Musa swallowed hard a bit, was it really that? The group was mainly silent as they returned to the bus stop just in time to get onboard the last bus to Alfea.

Musa was deep in thought as she recalled how bad Darcy looked in the pool of blood and the bruises, the fearsome witch that stole her would be boyfriend and tortured her since coming here was weak and so close to death it scared her. It was scaring her to the core.

It is those moments I am ashamed to be a fairy.

"Moon slut."

She tried to deflect the pipe but the sharp pain and sudden snap was tattle tale signs of broken bones. She reeled back from them as they kept swinging, calling out as they found their target.

"Evil creature."

"Monster."

"You are the monsters!" it was a mistake as a bat found her jaw and cracked it, she feel to the ground. A blunt object hit the base of her head and it was all blurred from there on, even if this had happened yesterday it was happened again and again the mind of Darcy Trix as she was treated. There were a few moments she was semi-conscious and cried until she blacked out again.

As she fell asleep the nightmare kept going, on and on it would not stop. Her sisters were mortified, the youngest sister was laying there bandaged and with a tube going down her throat making her breath. Icy and Stormy stood there not knowing what to say, they were sickened and angered to no end.

"I am going to make whoever did this suffer." Icy muttered as she clinched her fists summoning a chill into the air, Stormy on the other hand was showing no signs of anger but a cold gleam of malice. A gleam that would frighten even the most harden specialist as she would make who had done this to her sister go beyond suffering.

They were advise to leave by the nurse, they stood there for the moment and left as their sister was out cold and they want answers. How had done this would best watch out when they find out, because it was going to be down right ugly when they hunt them down.

()()()AUTHOR'S NOTES.()()()

Quick heads up, this is set after Spelled and before Royal Heart break so the whole "switch" is still going on so a fast reminder real Sky is known as Fake Brandon and real Brandon is still known as Fake Sky.

On a different subject has anyone ever really noticed there is no real law enforcement in Magix? Aside of the specialists (which all seem to ether hang around all the time at Red Fountain or by the "action") there does not seem to be any cops or such and such. I guess I am just over analyzing the show but it does bother me that such a big city has virtually no police force around, but that frees up everything for us writers.
