"Wouldn't someone do that for you?"

"So what would happen if I did not show up?"

These words were going through her head as she was going back to Cloud Tower but at a slow pace, the thought of what would have happened if she had not been found by Musa chilled her a bit knowing the out come. She shoved it aside, it was that kind of thinking that would screw up the plan. It would ruin her rep as an evil witch, and something like last time she was involved with someone for real romantic interest would happen again. Not exactly the most pleasant thought for her, trying to place those words to one side they just pressed on and annoyed her.

"Wouldn't someone do that for you?"

"So what would happen if I did not show up?"

Darcy scoffed a bit at her own mind, there was no doubt that someone would look for her as she is important. She was not the type to go out on all nighters so if she did not show up in the morning someone would suspect something was wrong but then what? Go on as if she was not gone? Looked for her in the wrong places? Just take what they need off her corpse at the morgue?

"Wouldn't someone do that for you?"

No, no one would. Darcy thought.

"So what would happen if I did not show up?"

I do not want to think about that.

She was the first one to come check in on Musa when the Nurse's office had opened, the others were still asleep which surprised the music fairy. It seemed that there was something important she wanted to say a lone with her, especially after yesterday.

"Hey, Stell. I was not expecting you here so early." Musa was a bit surprised by the blonde's appearance, "how are you?"

"Doing fine." Musa half lied, she was smiling and Stella did not want to push on her. She looked up at her friend, "is there something you need?"

"I just wanted to talk to you Musa." Stella nodded, how do you bring up a subject like this at a moment like this. Maybe if she just start it would come out, "about these crazy people, I really don't understand what their problem is but I bet they have a screw loose."

"Stella," Musa wanted to know where she was getting at this but the same look she gave at the hospital was here again. A small pit formed in the bottom of her stomach before she nodded, "go on."

Stella swallowed hard, it was hard to talk about this stuff. "When I was visiting one of my mother's palaces a bunch of kids decided to torment me, I used a bit of dark magic to scare them off. I thought it was pretty much over but the adults came with next time," Stella stopped for a moment as she remembered. "Seventeen broken bones and one blood transfusion, that is what they did to me because I draw half of my powers from the moon."

"Stella?" Musa was surprise to hear this about her friend, she never really knew about this but it was not exactly an everyday conservation starter. She was going to try to comfort the princess but the nurse had came in to announce more of her friends was coming to check in on her, she shot a fast glance at Stella as she looked over with pleading eyes not to tell them. They came in seeing the two smile, "hi."

"Good morning, Musa." Flora said. "I stop by to see how you are doing."

"The I.D.S said we can have our rooms back in a few days, but is there something you want from it later?" Techna asked. Musa shook her head, she looked them as they talked her hoping to make her feel better. Musa often looked over towards Stella who was acting naturally but there was a small look in her eye, grief or regret or maybe sadness she could not tell but Stella had told her something that maybe not many knew about. Musa had gotten a new insight that she would never expected, nor did want to see it again.

Stormy had stumbled into the room after the wild night with Lucy to avoid Icy's wrath, she does know that somewhere down the road that they would have to face each other again one way or another but at the moment she wanted to get away from her bossiness. Mirta looked up from her homework to see both girls fall into their beds looking completely wasted from a night of partying, or so she thought from the reeking smell of alcohol from both of them. Mirta sighed, when she had pictured going to Cloud Tower it would be one more enjoyable then this. So far she had been laughed at, put down and lost her friendship with her only friend here. Maybe it was a mistake coming here, perhaps she should go back home after this semester.

"What's your problem?" a slight slurred version of the words were spoken by the weather witch, she was laying on her back trying to pass out with no luck. Mirta ignored her as she went on working, the witch leaned her head back staring up at the ceiling. She knew that look, "okay, I see. Lushy, dumped ya' for Icy, didn't she?" Mirta kept on going doing her homework, looking over Lucy was out like a light. "Sucks, doesn't it?"

Mirta stopped for a moment wondering what does the weather witch want as she looked up at her. "I don't know what you are talking about, I just want to get this done."

"Why?" Stormy sat up despite the thumbing vain in her temple, the young witch ignored her. "Ya' remind me of someone when I first came here, always trying her hardest to be the best by studying hard."

"Please just let me finish this," Mirta raised her voice a bit before finishing up one subject to another. Stormy watched silently as she felt drowsy and laid back down to let her mind drift away, she remembered those days when Icy and Darcy were pushing a freshman around for their own pleasure until she broke under their control. Stormy slowly drifted off into sleep thinking of how Mirta reminded her so much of, well, herself.

Sorry for the long wait, I just got a new laptop and I had to break it in quick.
