Darcy woke up around sunrise, or at least that is what she thought when the blinding glare of the sun came through the windows and onto her face. Thoughts of killing whoever programmed the automated curtains she looked around, there was a IV going into one arm and there were a few bandages on her arms. Any attempt to sit up was met with sever pain, laying there she glared at the doctor that walked in.
"You seem better." he walked around to one side of her bed taking a moment to check over the medical charts. She was giving death stares at him as he ignored her, "and most of your bones have healed very heal. If this keeps up you can leave tomorrow."
"Oh goody." she looked down at her arms, when she is fully healed she is going to make those bigots pay for attacking her. The door opened again as a person came into the room, from the uniform Darcy could tell this person was from the I.D.S. and he was here to take her statement.
"Hello, Ms. Trix." the man said as he brought out a device that was small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. He pressed a few buttons to flip up the lid, "this is a psychic beetle so don't be afraid. It's just going to get the image of your attackers as I get some states from you. First can you tell why you were in the park?"
Darcy shifted as the little mechanical bug flew around her head, she resisted the urge to crush it. "I wanted to get away from the lights."
The man raised a brow, the doctor answered for her. "Her source of power is the voids so she is sensitive to light."
"I seen." the man noted this, "did you know any of the attackers or what their motives are for?"
"I did not know any one of them." Darcy was silent for a moment as she recalled why they had attacked her, swallowing hard she looked away from the two men. "Last week a few of us were teasing a Freshmen fairy at the Hex club, the fairies came after me claiming it was justice."
The I.D.S. nodded as psychic beetle returned to him. "I got what I need, we will catch your attackers soon. Just get better." the man left as the doctor went about his rounds until a nurse came in.
"There is a visitor here." the nurse said, the doctor looked up at her and nodded. The nurse left for a moment, Darcy took in a deep breath as she closed her eyes. In her mind she could hear it already, "Beaten by a few pixies, what kind of witch are you?" "Man, you're pathetic to lose to them." Darcy opened her eyes, she was slightly surprise not to see her sisters. Standing there with some lilies Darcy raised a brow at the new comer.
"Brought you theses."
"You are too trusting, Musa." Darcy reached up to except the lilies out of a good gesture. She looked at them for a moment, "what are you doing here?"
Musa shifted, "figured that you could use some company." Darcy would have shrugged if she could, "how are you doing?"
"I don't know why you are here. You are not guilty of anything."
"I was being nice," Musa spoke with a bit of edge in her tone. "Maybe it was a mistake.
"Yeah. Maybe it was a mistake." Darcy looked at the lilies, Musa was bit frustrated with the witch and sorry she did something nice for her. Turning away she stormed out, "thank you." those word had caught the music fairy in the doorway, she wanted to look back but lingered for a moment before kept going.
"She seems feisty." the doctor said.
"I know." Darcy smiled as she placed the lilies to one side.
Riven was slammed against the wall sending him sprawling to the floor as she placed right onto the back of his neck with his own blade hovering just an inch above his head. Growling he tried to push her off but a shock was sent through his body and sent back down, not only was this humiliation but it was really making him mad.
"Get off of me!" Riven snapped.
"What did you do to Darcy?" Stormy said coldly, she pressed her foot down.
"I did not do anything, she dumped me then left." Riven was tired of being forced onto the dirty ground of this small back area of Red Fountain, he caught the witch by surprise when he grabbed her free leg and sent her sprawling to the ground. Standing up he glared down at the electric witch, "what the hell is this about?"
"That's my business." Stormy spoke snidely, that cockiness was lost when a sword came down just right next to her head almost killing her. It was strange to see her wide eyed and scared, he lean in to almost nose to nose with hard eyes.
"What is this about?"
Stormy swallowed hard. "Darcy was beaten up by someone."
Riven lean back as Stormy glared, "why would I hurt her?" Stormy did not answer yet glared coldly at the cherry haired man so he knew there would be no answer from her. "Don't bother me again."
"If you did something I would do more then bother you." Stormy snapped as she gotten up, she was glad that no one was around to see this humiliating scene as she left.
Techna glance back at the empty bed then back towards her computer not really focused on the project at hand, she was worried about her friend going into Magix. The scare yesterday made her wonder if she had gone back to see the witch.
One half of her thought it was illogical to go see a woman who had tried to kill them several times in the past but the other somewhat understood what was going through Musa's mind. Stopping for a minute she wonder what would she would have done in the same situation, logic dictates to get her to the hospital then when stable leave but would she be that cold and callous?
Ever since last week Musa has been acting very strangely and she has been more on the offensive lately, so it would have something to do with Darcy and Riven. Techna thought about it for a moment but return to her computer as she did not want to admit that maybe doing something for Darcy would bring Riven to her.
Techna scoffed, highly illogical.
Through out the night Musa lay awake with the image of Darcy going through her head over and over again, stomach churning as the witch laid there in her blood, broken and shattered. Stella knew, or at least suspected, what happened to the girl. In the back of her mind it lingered dancing just about the edge of her conscious mind then dive back into the shadows. No, it was being forced back because she does not admit that the reason she was beaten to near death was because of magic association. Musa felt sicken as she rolled to one side, still wide awake.
Unable to sleep she slipped the blankets off, care not to wake her room mate Musa gathered some clothes into a gym bag she kept by her dresser and walked out into the hall. As she headed for a more secluded area she took notice of how creepy Alfea is when the lights are off, of course she has been through here when the lights were off before but that was when she was trying to out run monsters or with her friends. Finding a small corner she change clothes and stuff her pajamas into the gym bag before heading toward the door that lead outside, she slowed down until she was standing in front of the doors as she thought about what was bothering her.
Going outside the night air had came to greet her on the way to the garden, the moon was full and gave light to everything on the land. It made it easier for her to find her way around the small area on her walk to nowhere in particular, Musa was wondering what had happened to the poor witch. The air suddenly had grown very cold as a shadow loomed over her, turning she found the silhouette of a familiar witch floating there in the air.
"What do you want?" Musa spoke coldly as she stepped back. Icy floated to the ground glaring at the raven haired girl before her right hand was squeezing the music fairy's face and bring her down to her knees. Unable to fully speak she tried to say something muffled but the ice witch ignored it.
"What happened?" Icy lighten her grip a bit but never letting go as she lean in close, "what did you do to my sister?"
"Nothing." Musa said. She was lift and thrown several feet away from her and skidded a bit, the air was very frigid as the ice witch turned away. No words were spoken but the threat was clear for her, Musa did not move even after Icy had teleported away. Musa sat where she landed, looking up at the full moon.
She laid in bed fast asleep as the moonlight came in, her hair was spread all over the pillow creating an illusion of a goddess image. Next to her on a nightstand was a vase with a dozen lilies in it.
