In an instant Griselda was in action, she darted across the room to her student and blasted the chains holding her to the wall, carefully cradling the girls far too thin and light body to keep her from hitting the floor. Griselda quickly undid the knots holding the blindfolds in place but she saw blood red, literally and figuratively, when she saw the barbed wire around Blooms head where the blindfold and gag had been. Her lips were barb wired shut, and the barb wire was cutting through her eyelids and into her eyes, causing them to bleed heavily.
Thankful she knew enough healing spells to be classified as a battlefield medic, Griselda cast several spells to stop the bleeding and gently remove the barb wire from around her head. A stomping of footsteps alert her that Mike had made it up past the trick stair and was now coming closer.
"Sorry lady but now that you've seen the little freak…you're going to have to 'disappear'." Mike said his eyes containing an insane glint to them as he eyed her over, smirking cruelly the entire time while Griselda stood up trembling with rage. She was still cradling Bloom in her arms as the unconscious girls head lolled against her chest.
"You are one of the sickest most vile and twisted things that dare call themselves human that I have ever met." Griselda snarled ferally at the man who flipped open a switchblade knife and charged her. She waited until he was almost within striking distance of her before she calmly stepped to the side and blasted him clean through the wall. She heard the startled shrieks below as Mike was sent flying through the wall and falling onto the street below, her jumping down after him and using her magic to slow down her descent so that she didn't hurt Bloom further.
"Just try to attack me again. I dare you! I have been the Battle Champion for the last twenty years you pitiful insect! I don't even need to use my hands to defeat you soundly!" Griselda snarled at Mike who was painfully clambering to his feet from his fall as he glared darkly at her and charged her again, much to the shocked onlookers horror. Too bad for him that Griselda decided to say to Obsidian with secrecy and just blast the bastard bad enough to impress the ancestral witches themselves.
Still cradling Bloom in her arms much like one would a baby, Griselda lifted her foot and swiped it at the man. Many shouted out shocked when blue magic shot from her foot in an arc and impacted soundly against Mikes' chest, which sent him flying a good many feet back.
"Griselda what's going on? You've been using a lot of magic for such a simple assignment." Palladium asked telatransporting to a little ways behind her and causing Griselda to turn towards him with Bloom in her arms still, which made him back up a step in shock.
"That bastard and his wife hurt her! They hurt our Bloom!" Griselda said jerking her head towards Mike who was trying to get his second wind back now.
"…Hand her here. I'll take her to Faragonda and Ophelia to be healed while you…punish him properly for hurting one of our students." Palladium said stepping forward after a moment of staring at Blooms body shocked. Griselda held Bloom closer protectively for a moment before she nodded stiffly and began to gently hand the out cold girl to the elf.
"Ughn." Bloom groaned as she began to come too, causing Griselda to freeze slightly in place.
"W-What?" Bloom asked beginning to open her eyes slightly and causing Griselda and Palladiums hearts to break when they saw that the barbed wire had cut straight into her eyeballs.
"It's okay Bloom. W-We're here and we're going to take you to Ms. Faragonda and Ophelia to get healed up." Griselda said softly as Palladium drew his sword when Mike tried to get up to charge them again. The Elf had his eyes narrowed with an unholy glint in them as he looked at the man that dared hurt one of his students, his favorite one no less!
"M-Miss Griselda?" Bloom asked beginning to close her eyes again as she leaned her head towards the brown haired woman who swallowed slightly.
"Yes Bloom. It's me. Don't worry we'll get you right as rain in just a little while." Griselda said causing the red haired girl to smile slightly as she laid her head against Griselda's shoulder while Palladium knocked Mike out with the blunt side of the sword after quietly torturing him for a few minutes. Let's just say that you don't want to be on the receiving end of a pissed off Elf who is well trained in swordsmanship and sword magic.
"I-I'm glad. I kept calling for you and the others…now you're here. You heard me." Bloom said weakly as she felt her mind begin to slip into blissful unconsciousness. Griselda had to swallow thickly and blink back the tears she had felt build up in her eyes. The poor child had been calling for them? How long had she been crying for them to help her? Griselda roughly forced those thoughts to the back of her mind for now, they weren't important at the moment Bloom's health was.
"Y-yeah. We heard you. Just rest Bloom. I've got you now." Griselda said kissing the girls blood covered forehead on instinct. The action left a metallic taste on her lips but she ignored it as she looked at Palladium who had walked back over to her by now with his sword out, protecting her and Bloom from any who might try to hurt them further.
"Palladium…we're leaving. We need to get Bloom medical treatment. We can come back and finish that bastard and his wife off later." Griselda said looking at the taller teacher before glaring at the out cold form of Mike, causing Palladium to nod stiffly as he sheathed his sword and placed a hand on Griseldas shoulder.
The last thing they heard before teleporting straight to Alfea's medical wing was a sound like a broom cracking as Griselda's body lurched forward suddenly. She was careful not to drop Bloom even as a crimson stain began to soak through the fabric of her dress near her stomach, just barely missing Bloom.
