Ch.2

5 days later…

Bloom sighed helplessly as she made her way back into the small cave her and Valtor had been using as shelter for the past 2 days while she carried a small plastic pail she had found abandoned near the road in to Magix city, She was careful not to spill a drop of water she had got from the icy cold stream about 8 minutes away and walked into the cave with worried eyes. She carried the bucket to Valtor and gently placed it down in front of him as she coaxed him into drinking some of the water; she watched with worry as Valtor managed to weakly raise his head and drank from the pail with feverish eyes blinking in tiredness due to the infection that had settled into the nasty bite mark from the wolf pack a few days ago. Bloom gently nuzzled him and softly asked "How are you feeling?"

Valtor gave a raspy chuckle and said "Horrible…I don't even remember the last time I felt this bad…"

Bloom's eyes wander over to the wound as it was leaking thick yellowish-gray pus through the cracking scabs and it had started a day and half ago, Bloom was worried about what to do when Valtor winced as he shifted and then said "Bloom…You need to go for help. The infection is taking one hell of a toll on me and I'm not going to be able go anywhere any time soon on my own, you need to go get someone you trust and try to get them here…it's our best hope at the moment."

Bloom pawed the ground nervously as she said "But I just can't leave you alone here…."

Valtor coughed softly then smiled as he said "Trust me; I'll be fine…now go and hurry!"

Bloom nodded as she then turned and started to leave the cave before saying over her shoulder "Just hang tight…I'll be back soon as I can!"

Bloom then dashed out of the cave and made her way to the road before running as fast as she could towards Alfea with the hope gaining some help…

Meanwhile…

Faragonda was worried sick over one of her students who had gone missing 7 days ago; the girl's boyfriend claimed that Valtor had attacked Bloom and the 2 Dragon flame holders were caught in the backlash of the two spells they had used, not working well with each other. The older woman sighed as she then softly whispered "Bloom…where are you and what happened that day?"

Faragonda was about to turn from the window when she caught a flash of Reddish-gold down below her on the ground, She gasped at seeing a beautiful doe nervously prancing back and forth below the window as the Doe's bright blue eyes looked up with worry causing the older woman to yelp in shock "BLOOM?!"

Faragonda was quick to teleport outside to Bloom when her Missing student hurried over and gently took her headmistress's sleeve in her mouth with a pleading look as she tugged in the direction of the gate heading off campus, Faragonda was confused at why Bloom was acting so strangely but soon realized Bloom was trying to either take her somewhere or show her something which she quickly told Bloom "Easy Bloom, I need you to picture where you want to take me as vividly as possible and I'll use a spell to take us there, OK?"

Bloom looked relieved and nodded as she closed her eyes to focus on the small cave and the small clearing it was in, Faragonda then used the spell as a bright flash of light took them to the spot. Bloom then dashed from her side towards a small cave before stopping at the entrance and looking back pleadingly causing the older woman to follow, Faragonda ducked under the top of the entrance and looked up only to jaw drop at seeing the male deer Bloom was standing next to. She was quick to come closer as she quickly realized who the male was and realized he was very ill, Faragonda then understood why Bloom had brought her and looked at Bloom as she said "Bloom…are you sure you want to help him after what he has done to you and others?"

Bloom gave a sad bleat and nodded as she then used her hoof to point at Valtor's right leg before she managed to write in the dirt,

"Pack"

"Wolves"

"Bitten"

"Protected"

"Me"

Faragonda struggled to figure what Bloom was saying then took a closer look at the wound to see it was a large and nasty wolf bite, Faragonda paled as the words then made sense and she turned to Bloom as she said "Valtor protected you from a pack of wolves but was injured in the process?"

She could see the relief in Bloom's eyes as the poor girl nodded before a nasty cough startled them as Faragonda looked at Valtor and noticed his feverish eyes looking at her with a plea for help, he gave a small pitiful whimper before another cough shook his body while Bloom then nuzzled him sadly before laying down next to him in an effort to help keep Valtor warm. The white haired fairy bit her lip then sighed as she said "I'm going to call for Griffin to come help…I'm good with healing but I'm not that great with an infection as nasty as this one…"

Faragonda then stepped outside as she pulled out her phone and dialed a number that she knew by heart after so many years, she waited for Griffin to pick up as she glanced towards the cave with the feeling that she and the other headmasters had not been told the entire truth about what had happened that day just as she then heard a tired "Hello?"

"Elphaba…I need your help. I've found Bloom but we have a Problem…"

"You found her! Wait…What's going on?!"

"It seems there is far more to the story then what Prince Skylar has told us…Bloom just brought me to a small cave in the woods near Magix city and Valtor was inside. It seems he has a nasty infection on his right hind-leg that he got protecting Bloom from a pack of wolves."

"What! Wait a minute…did you say hind leg?"

"Yes…Both him and Bloom are in the form of Deer and I don't think they're able to change back into Humans at the moment. I need help El…I-I'm not sure what to do and I'm not that great at healing infections as nasty as this one looks…"

There were a few moments of silence before Griffin spoke up and said "I'll grab Saladin first just in case then we'll be right there, keep your phone tracker on so we can come straight to you! Stay safe!"

"I'll will and hurry!"

Half an hour later….

Griffin and Saladin arrived in the small clearing where they saw a very pretty doe with reddish gold fur and bright blue eyes waiting outside a small cave, Saladin's jaw dropped as Griffin looked shocked but quickly hurried through the cave entrance to look inside for Faragonda. Griffin blinked in shock as Faragonda was doing her best to burn out as much of the infection as she could from the transformed wizard's body but it was obviously not going too well, Griffin quickly knelt beside her best friend who looked exhausted and said softly "Let me take over, my friend. You need to rest right now."

Faragonda nodded then said "true but I'm going to try casting one more spell so that we can talk with Bloom and get answers as to what actually happened that day."

Griffin nodded then turned her attention to Valtor who had once been like an older brother to her and began healing his body from the infection and the nasty bite mark on his hind leg, she had one hand on his shoulder when she felt a wet sensation on it and looked over to see Valtor had his head raised and was looking better. He gently licked her hand again then nuzzled it gently with a grateful look in his eyes when they both jumped at a rather loud yell of "WHHHHHAAAATTTT!?"

Few minutes earlier…

Saladin and Faragonda were outside the cave with Bloom as Faragonda cast a simple spell on the trapped princess that would hopefully allow her talk, Bloom stood still as the spell hit and surrounded her in soft golden glow before fading. Bloom then sighed and said softly "Can you understand me now, Miss Faragonda?"

Seeing the looks of relief on the two headmasters' faces had Bloom sighing in relief as then Miss Faragonda asked "Bloom, what happened that day you went missing?"

Bloom told them everything she remembered and that Valtor had a very similar story that lined up exactly with what she remembered happening, Bloom shifted nervously as the two teachers stood still in absolute shock before they gave a loud yell of "WHHHHHAAAATTTT!?"

Bloom shook her head in pain as the loud cry attacked her sensitive hearing then looked at Saladin and Faragonda before freezing at the looks of pure fury on the two headmaster's faces, Bloom's ears quickly went backwards in slight fear as she took a step back causing the two adults to notice and quickly got themselves calm so they wouldn't scare Bloom anymore. Faragonda quickly stepped forward and gave the young girl a hug around her neck as she said "We'll fix this Bloom and I can promise that Prince Skylar will be getting punished for this along with his fiancée!"

Bloom smiled then they heard the sound of loose stones being moved and turned to see a tired looking Griffin and a weary Valtor at her side coming out of the cave, Bloom quickly moved to Valtor's side and gently nuzzled his cheek as she asked "You ok?"

Valtor returned the gesture then said "I'm fine now thanks to Elphie…she was always an amazing healer when it came to Poisons and the more serious battle injuries or infections."

Bloom looked relieved then looked over as Griffin was just finishing talking to the other two adults on what they had found out, the purple haired woman looked pissed beyond hell then said "If this is true and Skylar has lied to all of us about he did then it won't be safe at Alfea or Red fountain for these two… he could arrange for something to happen to them to keep the truth from coming out if they stayed at either of the 2 schools."

Faragonda nodded sadly along with Saladin as Griffin then "I'll take them with me back to Cloud Tower and we can start figuring out how to reverse what's happened to Bloom and Valtor."

The adults nodded as they watched Bloom and Valtor interact with each other off to the side, Griffin watched in surprised amusement as Valtor and Bloom moved closer to each other until their shoulders were touching while Bloom yawned with a sleepy look on her face causing small smile on Griffin's face. The headmasters then went their separate ways back to their schools while Griffin took Bloom and Valtor with her back to Cloud Tower, she was quick to get them settled into a special room that was perfect for their current forms and the two were quick to fall asleep while curled up next to each other while Griffin made her way up to her own bedroom to get some sleep before the upcoming "storm" would unleash it's fury the next day….

The next day…

Bloom and Valtor were allowed out of the room they had slept in the night before and followed Griffin into the dining hall where the students were all sitting and eating before classes started for the day, Griffin had already briefed the students on the situation without naming the names of who really attacked Bloom thus they didn't really react as the two deer walked near their headmaster to the staff table. Griffin had just sat down when there was a loud BANG from the dining hall doors and a person walked in almost glowing in anger that quickly had Valtor placing himself protectively in front of Bloom with an angry snort and lowering his antlers to attack just in case the person tried to come towards her. The stag stomped his front hooves protectively as he glared at the blonde male who was the cause of his and Bloom's current state while the idiot snarled and made to grab his weapon, Valtor gave an angry bellow as the Blonde then attacked and Valtor quickly used his antlers to toss the blonde teen away and off to the side as he glared at the idiot. Griffin smirked then quickly bound the young man before sending him to a holding room, she then turned to Valtor and said "I think it might be best to return to the room I had you two stay in last night for safety reasons at the moment…"

Valtor nodded then turned and nuzzled Bloom who was shaking with fright at what just happened, the doe then followed him as he gently herded her back to the room while Griffin was quick to get in contact with Saladin and Faragonda about what just happened…
