Chapter 2
As Bloom walked down the sidewalk she held her red cellphone to her ear.
"Like I said mom, I feel perfectly fine now." Bloom said as she talked into her cell. "Whatever I had last night must have passed."
"I'm just worried, Bloom you were so sick last night." Vanessa explained, "I just think it would be better if you would rest."
"I made it through the school day without any problems," Bloom said. "I really do feel perfectly fine,"
"You shouldn't over exert yourself," Vanessa said.
"I'm just taking a walk," Bloom stated. "Maybe I'll stop by the store and pick up some snacks."
"Do you need anything?" Bloom asked.
Bloom heard a sigh from the phone and listened as her mother said, "no, thanks for asking though but bloom don't wear yourself out and be home before it gets dark."
"Sure," Bloom agreed.
"Also don't buy to many sweets," Vanessa said. "You don't want to ruin your appetite for dinner."
"Will do," Bloom answered.
"I'll see you see later," Vanessa said, "love you."
"Love you too mom, bye" Bloom said as she hung up.
Bloom sighed as she put her cell phone in her backpack and continued to walk. Bloom knew that her mother was worried. Bloom had felt horrible early this morning but she felt fine now. Actually Bloom felt better than fine. Her body felt lighter than normal to the point of which Bloom felt as if she could fly away at any second. She had so much energy she didn't know what to do with it. Bloom supposed she would walk around for a bit and then head home, maybe stop off at the store and buy a snack or something.
As Bloom walked she passed a small bakery the smells coming from the shop were divine. Bloom stomach growled and she blushed in embarrassment. Turning around Bloom entered the bakery and quickly bought a chocolate croissant and a lemon tart. Exiting the shop Bloom took out the chocolate croissant from the paper bag and started to eat it.
Bloom continued on her way and decided to take a detour through the park. As she walked Bloom thought about her dream, it had seemed so real. In the beginning it was so wonderful the freedom, the power, the friends she made and Sky. Had it really been a dream.
'But it had to have been a dream,' Bloom reasoned from the spell she used this morning to the little bits of magic Bloom tried to use, none of it worked.
Bloom sighed it really was a great dream, to be a fairy.
Bloom finished her croissant and reached into the bag to pull out the lemon tart. Taking a bite Bloom savored the sour taste.
'A fairy princess,' Bloom thought. 'And a boyfriend who is a prince.'
In the dream Bloom had been planning to try to save her home world, her people and her parents. Or at least that was what Bloom had hoped to do in the dream but it all came to an end…
Bloom suddenly fell to her knees and doubled over as she felt an intense pain from her head. Bloom saw a flash of red and a long hallway. She remembered someone had been talking and it had filled her with a sense of surprise, dread, disappointment and pain.
The pain eventually began to disappear. Bloom stood back up and notice a wet feeling from her face. Wiping her face Bloom realized she had been crying. Bringing her hand down Bloom saw some blood on her hand. Reaching up she wiped her nose and realized she had a bloody nose. Bloom reached into her pocket and pulled out some tissue and wiped her nose.
The bleeding seemed to stop and Bloom stuffed the tissue back into her pocket.
'What had that been,' Bloom thought, 'it had felt like…like I was dying or something. Maybe I should have stayed home today like mom suggested.'
Feeling a dull pain from her stomach Bloom instantly regretted eating the chocolate croissant. While feeling sick and dealing with her own thoughts Bloom didn't notice the black haired brown eyed girl that headed her way. It wasn't until Bloom heard a squishing sound and a high pitch screech that Bloom finally snapped out of it. Looking over the first thing she saw was her beloved lemon tart on the ground and squished. Silently Bloom mourned her fallen pastry. Taking in the tan open toe shoes, Bloom looked at the person the shoe belong to and found herself looking into the familiar eyes of a disgruntled girl.
"Oh, its you," the girl coldly said. "All things considered I'm not surprised."
Blooms eye twitch in annoyance but smiled and said, "Hi Mitzi, how's your day going."
Mitzi flipped her hair and sighed. She then smiled widely and said, " oh its actually been going great. I got an A+ on my math test but then again that was only expected. My dad hired a really expensive tutor, he says I'm basically a genius. When school ended both Richard and Justin wanted to take me shopping but I decided to turn them both down, because you know sometimes its better to play hard to get. Then I decided to take a run in the part to burn off the Grande, iced, sugar free, vanilla latte with soy milk that I had for lunch, you know."
Mitzi paused a second and said, "then again maybe you don't…"
Bloom found her smile become strained with Mitzi comment.
"I mean not everyone has the self-control to…" Mitzi paused for effect and looked Bloom up and down, "keep an eye on their figure…"
Mitzi gave a smug smile and laughed as she began to walk away, "see you later Bloom, sorry about your snack."
Bloom clenched her fist and shook in rage. Unbeknownst to Bloom her eyes flashed red and an orange glow began to shine around her fists.
"I can't stand her," Bloom muttered.
As she stood there Bloom felt as if she was burning up and started to feel nauseous. Bloom closed her eyes and just as quickly as the burning sensation appeared it disappeared. The orange glow vanished and Bloom opened her eyes. Letting out a shaky breath Bloom took in her surrounding and then started to head across the park intending to head home as fast as she could. The energy that she had felt early was gone instead Bloom now felt exhausted and as if she may have a fever.
'I really should have listened to mom,' Bloom thought.
Making her way through the park Bloom passed several large trees. If she cut across here then she should be home in about ten to fifteen minutes. Bloom let out a sigh and thought about how she couldn't wait to get home, to just crawl into bed with a hot cup of tea.
With plans of what she would do when she got home Bloom didn't intend to stop but as she continued walking through the park she saw a girl around her age with green hair.
'Selina,' Bloom thought as she paused.
Selina had been one of Blooms best friends but recently it had been like the two of them had been growing distant. Bloom shook her head, she should just head home but it had been while since Bloom had talked to Selina.
"Hey Selina!" Bloom shouted as she raised her hand in hello.
With Bloom shout Selina jumped and quickly turned around startled. Looking at Bloom Selina wore a surprised expression. Selina started to raise her hand to wave but then paused and frowned. Selina gave Bloom a nervous look and then turned away.
Bloom's chest hurt as she watched her friend walk away. She just couldn't understand it. Bloom couldn't understand why Selina was pulling away. Selina had always been shy but the two of them had gotten along. Bloom had thought that they where friends.
Friends…
Bloom saw a flash of red, a long hallway appeared in front of her and someone holding a knife dripping with blood.
"What's going on," Bloom muttered as she found it hard to breath.
A coppery smell filled Blooms nose and Bloom felt herself burning up. Blooms vision became blurry and unbeknownst to her an orange glow surrounded her. The glow increased until it flashed and the trees around Bloom were set a blaze.
A scream was heard and Bloom didn't know if it had come from her or someone else. Bloom thought she might have heard someone call her name but in the next instant Bloom fell to the ground unconscious.
Meanwhile with Vanessa
Vanessa stayed on the phone for a few more seconds even though she knew Bloom had already hung up. In truth Vanessa wished that Bloom had stayed home. The fact that Bloom was insisting that she was going to be staying out instead of coming home right after school made her feel anxious. It was mother intuition, a mother always knows when something is wrong.
Vanessa hung up the phone and thought to herself, 'maybe I should have Mike keep an eye out for her on his way home.'
While deep in her thoughts Vanessa walked into the kitchen where she found Kiko shaking on the floor.
"Kiko?" Vanessa asked concerned for the frightened rabbit, "is everything alright."
Kiko looked at Vanessa with wide frightened eyes and made a squeaking sound. He then ran out of the kitchen. Vanessa watched him go and decided to follow. Exiting the kitchen she found Kiko on the stairs. Kiko made eye contact with Vanessa and ran up the stairs. Vanessa followed and noticed that Kiko was waiting by Blooms door. The little rabbit stood in front of Bloom door jumping up and down while making all kinds of noises.
"I see." Vanessa said with a smile, "you want into Blooms room."
Vanessa walked over to Bloom door and pushed it open or at least she tried to open it but the door wouldn't budge.
"What in the world," Vanessa said in confusion as she once again tried to push the door open. The doorknob turned so it was obvious that the door wasn't locked.
"Something must be blocking it," Vanessa thought out loud.
Putting her weight into it Vanessa slammed against the door. A sound of wood snapping caused Vanessa to pause as she worried that she may have damaged the door. Stepping away Vanessa didn't see anything wrong with the door. She noticed that the door was opened just a crack and looked inside.
Vanessa was surprise to say the least when she looked into Blooms room and found branches. Vanessa couldn't even see into the room because of the branches that where pushing against the door. As she stared in surprise and confusion she stepped back as a branch thrusted its way through the opening of the door.
Vanessa stared at the mess and sighed she had no idea what could have caused this. Turning around Vanessa headed for the garage she'd need her gardening sheers to deal with this mess.
yay a new chapter. I have mixed feelings about this chapter especially considering the Mitzi interaction. But Mitzi in the tv show has been shown to be vain, stuck up and all around mean. So I think I kept her mostly in character. For people who just don't like mean people in fanfic/stories Mitzi behavior/actions are some what important for events in this fic, so please bear with it.
For Anyone whose interested, my updates have been very erratic for all my fics. Basically I've been dealing with some RL stuff, writers block and constant attacks from plot bunnies. so because this chapter was short i managed to get this one out first. currently I'm editing the next chapter of my KHR fic.
