Chapter 3

Faragonda, Flora, and the assassin walked throught the front gate if Alfea. Flora had her left arm around the assassin's waist and the assassin had her right hands on Flora's right shoulder.

The trio were walking towards the main building when the Winx and Roxy walked up to them.

"What is she doing here Ms. Faragonda?" Layla asked harshly.

"We found her crying and blind in the forest. She needed our help." Flora said.

"Oh! She needed your help! Do you know who she is?" Layla asked.

"Not really." Flora answered plainly.

"This women is an assassin! She just broke into Cloud Tower and attacked Griffin!" Layla yelled.

"It does not matter Layla. She needed our help since you all were the ones that blinded her." Faragonda said rather calm. She then ushered Flora and the assassin inside.

The three made it to Faragonda's office. Once there they noticed that Stella followed them.

"Ms. Faragonda may I join you?" The sun fairy asked. The only reply she got was Faragonda waving her into the office. Flora guided the assassin to a chair infront of the desk. Once the assassin was sitting, Flora sat in the chair next to her. Faragonda sat in her chair behind her desk and Stella stood between Flora and Bloom.

"What's your name sweetie?" Flora asked.

"My name is Victoria." Bloom lied. She had to keep a good fake identity. If they ever found out it was really her then it might ruin all of her relationships in the Magic Dimension.

Faragonda was about to speak, but Stella beat her to it. "Victoria, I'm sorry I blinded you. I was only following Layla's lead."

"It's alright princess of Solaria. Thank you for the concern." Bloom answered.

"If you will sit still Victoria, then I'll try to heal you." Faragonda said as she moved in front if the assassin. The elder woman put her hands on top of Bloom's eyes. A light flashed from her hands for a few moments. After the light disappeared, Faragonda moved back to her chair.

"I'll have to do that twice a day for three days for your sight to return."

"Where will she stay?" Flora asked.

"She can stay in Bloom's room until either Victoria recovers or Bloom returns." Faragonda answered plainly. This intreaged Bloom. Faragonda wouldn't loan out her room without permission, and she obviously hasn't contacted herself on the matter. Flora also seemed to be confused.

"But, shouldn't you ask Bloom about it?" Flora questioned.

"I already have Flora. Bloom insured me that she is fine with this." Faragonda answered. Bloom was glad that she had the blindfold on, otherwise they all would have seen her eyes widen dramatically at this comment.

"Should I take her to Bloom's room then?" Flora asked.

"No, I will. I need to talk to our guest alone for a little while." Faragonda answered. The two girls saw the wording of the statement as a command to leave, so they both did.

Once Bloom heard the doors close, Faragonda said something that nearly caused Bloom to have a heart attack. "Bloom what are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, what?" Bloom said trying to keep her cover story alive.

"Bloom, I know it's you." Faragonda said plainly.

"I'm sorry headmistress, but you have me mistaken for someone else." Bloom insisted.

"Bloom drop the act. My office is sound proof, no one else will know." Faragonda insisted.

"Alright." Bloom said as she waved her hand, dropping her illusion spells.

"Now, I'll ask again. What are you doing?" Faragonda asked with a slight hint of anger.

"I'm keeping with an oath that I made a long time ago." Bloom answered.

"With a criminal organization that plans to take over all of Earth!" Faragonda exclaimed.

"You have fallen to Templar propaganda! The assassins are the ones trying to keep liberty alive on Earth! It's the Templars that want to enslave everyone!" Bloom yelled in frustration.

"Bloom, the Templars have had support from the realms for longer than you have been alive. Oritel and Miriam support them, and they're the leaders of the origional Company of Light! If they support the Templars, then I have to question your judgement." Faragonda stated.

Bloom finally snapped into a fit of rage. "You think I don't know that? I was just told by Griffin that five of the people closest to me are my life long enemies! If I had any dought that the assassins were'nt the right side, do you really think I would help them. I've spent the last five years saving the Magic Dimension from impending doom. You really think I would be helping an organization trying to enslave all of Earth?" Bloom yelled as she stood up and tried to leave.

Bloom didn't make it very far before she tripped and fell. Faragonda got up to help her. Once she tried to help Bloom up, the assassin pushed her away. Faragonda noticed then that Bloom was crying.

"Bloom I'm sorry. I understand that this must be hard for you. Please come sit down and explain the Assassin's side to this war." Faragonda pleaded. She then guided Bloom to the chair she was sitting in. Bloom then explained the history of the Assassin/Templar war.

Author's Note: There is Chapter 3. Chapter 4 will probably be more dialog, but Chapter 5 will get to some action.
