Chapter 11
" Thank you for this lovely show"
The office of the really feared principal of the really terrifying witch school is located high up on the top floor. These high towers were always unnaturally surrounded by a cluster of dark and lightning filled clouds, hence the name of the school: CloudTower.
To be able to control and monitor all the evil teen witches living in the school you need to install powerful spells and alarms in every corridor and room. All in the purpose of informing the headmistress on every activity taking place in the school. And that's exactly what Headmistress Griffin did. Moreover, one of these alarms was ringing right now.
"Someone has stepped foot in the Archives' room! Let's see who it is…"
She magically turned on her monitoring glass ball located at the edge of her desk. It projected a scene that surprised and pleased the woman.
"Oh goody! The fairies are paying us a visit." She turned to the other side of her desk and pressed a button that immediately turned on a hologram showing Alfea's history teacher professor Darkell.
"Hello Griffin, may I know the reason for this wonderful call?" he asked sarcastically, smirking at his old time friend.
"Dimitri guess who just stupidly entered my school without my permission and is right now foolishly snooping in my Archives' room." The professor frowned at the woman's words, she was right that was a really foolish thing to do. And according to her grinning face the person in question mustn't be a serious threat.
"Please spare me your silly games and just spit it out already."
"Five students of yours. The nerve they have, entering my home without an invitation. They deserve to be taught a lesson!" she told him angrily.
The pale faced man raised an eyebrow at the woman.
"Wouldn't it be best to inform Faragonda and let her deal with it?"
"That would take out all the fun for me. I'll give them a warm welcome before calling Faragonda to the mix!" she cackled evilly already planning the fairies punishment. "Do you want to come and watch the show with me?" she inquired.
"I would love to. But Faragonda would have a fit if she caught me in Cloud Tower, she would immediately assume that I was discussing Dark magic with you. And you know I can't allow that to happen, she already took away 80% of my powers. I've only got shields and teleportation left. If I was caught she would probably take that away too."
"Those centuries stuck in that rainbow puking school seemed to have made you a coward, Dimitri." She teased him.
"Griffin, it took me centuries to convince Alfia's headmasters to let me out of the Archive room and let me teach the students! I don't want all my work ruined in one evening."
"Dimitri, she'll never find out, have a little fun for once." He hesitated a few minutes, measuring the pros and cons. The hologram turned off. And the office fell in complete silence. But not for long.
A circle of blood red runes appeared on the floor letting through slowly the dark haired teacher.
"So what's the situation?" he asked curiously. She pointed at the screen showing a group of girls inspecting the shelves in the Archive's room. He made sure not to show any surprise on his face when he recognized one of the girls. Flora the plant fairy. And it took him only minutes to see that the other girls were her group of friends.
He already knew that they were a bunch of spirited and fearless fairies but this was just reckless. He watched them approach a book with the name Bloom on it.
"One of your tricks?" he asked his friend.
She nodded her eyes glued on the screen. When the red head one was about to open the book it suddenly transformed into an aggressive plant grabbing her arm. After freeing herself the girls ran out the room and down the corridor. They were immediately surrounded by an army of weird looking spiders. Spiders, fairies' greatest fear. He smirked at the girls' expressions. That'll teach them not to underestimate dark magic.
Surprisingly it's the plant fairy who got them out of the mess by conjuring a spider eater. He smirked a little bit impressed. He'll have to inform Palladium on his student's use of his lessons. They flew away being chased by another monster, however he was quickly defeated. The girls entered a room by smashing the door. What were they thinking? They should retrace their footsteps back to the entrance hall. They will be more vulnerable in a closed and small space. He always knew that fairies weren't the smartest creatures out there.
He rolled his eyes at the blond princess's overreaction at the appearance of a small dark insect. She lit it on fire as well as the rest of the room. The girls were trapped in the middle of flames.
"We should get them out of there." He said calmly.
"Just a few minutes Dimitri, let's give them a little fright before sending them back home." She said cackling like the witch she was.
"I think they were terrified enough for tonight, I don't want to have to explain to Faragonda why five of her students were barbecued to death. He watched a flame swipe to close for his liking at the green eyed girl. If they didn't do something right now there would only be ashes left of the girls. They continued arguing for a few minutes. And when they looked back at the screen they noticed that Bloom had found a secret exit and the girls were hurriedly climbing out of the room.
"I'll call Faragonda and inform her of her students' little adventure." Griffin told him before turning off her monitoring ball.
"I'll go back before someone notices my absence. Thank you for this lovely show. Scaring little annoying fairies has always been one of my favorite pastimes." He winked at her before melting into the floor surrounded by his usual blood red runes.
