An: Whoa an update from me, I found this chapter unfinished and quickly finished it because something, yes something struck me and I'm quite pleased with how my novel is going, I'm already a 120 pages into it, so I'm good. Don't ask when the next update is going to be but if you pester me with Reviews you might start getting them more frequently though. Not making any promises though, anyway later.
"You have a punctured lung, numerous fractured ribs and internal bleeding. You've also shattered your nose around the bridge area; four fractures. And incase you haven't noticed it yet, your left eye is swollen shut and you have continual internal bleeding from your nose and eye," Jade glared at the healer a frown on her face.
"How much will it cost you to fix it?" Icy asked.
"Unfortunately it would be best if she healed naturally, the body won't come over the trauma of that injury quickly unless she does this by herself."
Icy turned to her progeny she had to give the girl credit she hadn't slipped into unconsciousness until she had been safely in Icy's vicinity. "Well that won't do will it now girls…"
"I'm perfectly fine I just have to keep of my feet for a few days," Jade said quietly it hurt to move her mouth.
"That won't do, we can't break into the Omega dimension with you at a quarter of your power," Darcy chastised her and turned back to the healer who had a look of fear in his eyes.
"The Omega dimension? You're those three witches, your highness what in the world are you doing with them?"
Icy turned to Jade who was playing with her shadowy tendrils; her one good eye was glowing gently. "All I came here to do was get fixed up," she said quietly as a tendril wrapped around the man. "Fix me or I will kill you," she said, her voice was unnaturally hard.
"Yes your majesty," the man quickly got to healing Jade's wounds as soon as she let him go.
"Next time go easy on me," Jade said with a sigh as she began to feel the pain lessening.
"Why this was all part of your training, I didn't even feel you using your powers to protect yourself, because if you hadn't you'd be dead by now," Icy said reaching over to pat Jade on the back. Jade winced at the action and Icy stopped immediately.
Jade paused and looked at her, "Sorry," she muttered. She enjoyed when Icy, Stormy or even Darcy patted her on the back it made her feel as if she was needed by them. "So when does my training finally end?" she asked them, she wanted to show everyone what she was capable of.
"It would have been sooner but you seemed to have lost control today," Icy said reprimanding her gently. She watched as the doctor fixed Jade's nose, and began to heal her eye.
Jade winced, "I'm sorry," she said quickly hoping that there wasn't any more reprimanding, a smile flitted across her features when Icy patted Jade's head.
"Not to worry we'll just make sure that it doesn't happen again, isn't that right?" Icy asked Darcy and Stormy who both nodded in agreement.
Jade smiled and got up, "I'll go back to my training then," she said in a cheerful tone. I will be ready for anything that you throw at me in a week I promise, remember what you said I'm a gifted learner."
"Eww now you're being optimistic and cheerful again, tone it down," Darcy ordered, "you know how it annoys us when you're like that." Darcy turned to the doctor and erased his memory of the past hour or so, leaving him dazed and confused.
Jade grinned, "I know," she said before translocating her self back to her apartment where she opened her fridge and pulled out a beer, so that she could begin her training right away. She was glad that Icy, Darcy and Stormy were not mad at her at all , she hated when they were upset with her, or worse yet disappointed with one of her many failures. Jade took a sip of her beer and went to her library where she picked out one of them. She had become notorious for keeping stuff out in the open, with merely a simple spell to keep people from stumbling onto it. She flicked to the page that she had last stopped at and began to read, drinking a beer as she read through the pages at a quick pace. She growled slightly when she heard a knock on the door. "Go away," she yelled not getting up.
"It's us Jade," Sky said through the door, "And unfortunately we're not going to leave you alone until you open this door. And if you don't open this door we're going to break it down."
Jade sighed and put the book back where she found it, before making her way to the door and grabbing one of her pistols. "Why do you five insist on bothering me?" She asked holstering the gun as she opened the door; she was surprised to see her parents, her cousin and her uncle standing there with the Winx club very much behind the specialists. "There are royal people in my doorway," she said in a dry tone, "Oh dear and I would have cleaned up if I knew you were coming," she said pulling her gun out of her holster and throwing it back on the table. "You know I really should put more booby traps around here, it would help keep you people away, probably the rats as well but they make better company than you all," she said opening the door for them to enter, as she made her way back to her singular couch and took a seat. "So what do I owe this…unpleasant and random visit for? If this is another intervention I swear I will shoot myself in the foot right now."
"Jade we are only here to see if you have acquired any magical abilities or any magical items in your many…travels that have influenced you in the past few years," Oritel said.
Jade frowned, her spells were undetectable, "Hmm go ahead, knock yourself out, but don't touch anything, I don't have the money to disinfect everything when you leave, remember most of my assets have been frozen. I only have enough money as a specialist and that won't cover the acid that I'll need to buy to have everything burned. Of course it would make an excellent, excellent investment as I could build a moat filled with acid to keep you people away," she said as she watched them start to ransack through her small apartment.
After an hour or so, Oritel finally called a halt to the search, "We've found nothing, and I doubt that there is anything here, it is quite possible that the witches that you were after spelled her or something Bloom, like I said, I have complete faith that Jade would not turn her back on her people." Timmy quickly agreed with him as did the other specialists, "We have nothing to fear, and Jade we are terribly sorry that we have intruded onto your private life."
Jade looked up from where she had been drawing on the couch, "That's nice to know so are you going to take the hidden cameras that you strategically placed in my apartment out or not?" Jade said her hands flying across the paper. "I'm not stupid nor am I blind, nor are any of you even somewhat decent at placing them so I wouldn't suspect them."
"I have no idea what you're talking about Jade," Miguel said looking at his daughter.
"Okay," Jade said pausing and looking at them, "Take them down or I quit the force, go look for the three who offered me untold riches and power and join up with them," she said her eyes narrowing. "I don't have time for any more bullshit. I want them out of my house and I want you all out of my flat in less than five minutes, or I will walk out and I won't come back." Oritel frowned at Jade and met her eyes, "If you don't trust me at all then I'm leaving, I already have to put up with all your bullshit this is going to far."
Oritel sighed, "Take them all down, she's right we need to trust her more."
Jade smiled at him but said nothing and watched as they began to take away the cameras, "Good now get out of here," she said opening the door and pushing them all out when they were finished. She quickly went around the apartment and disabled the few others that had been left behind. She did a quick magical sweep of the room to make sure there was nothing before going back to her book and picking up her phone, and dialing Darcy's number. "They enjoy making my life hell," she said into the phone when she heard Darcy on the other end. It was code that she had no idea if she was being tapped or not.
"What did they do now?" Darcy asked in a false voice alerting Icy and Stormy, who quickly walked over.
"They all came to check if I were into the dark stuff," she said with a roll of her eyes.
"Wow really that must have been like hell," Darcy said.
"Yeah I know it was then they got all huffy when I told them to leave after they planted some of their tech in my room," Jade said in a ticked off voice. "I mean really they are just too much."
"Wow they went that far this time?" Darcy asked nodding at Icy and Stormy.
"Yeah they did, look I'll talk to you some other time you know I need to make sure those perverts didn't put anything in my bathroom," she said with an annoyed growl. "To think they were apart of this, pfft now I'll have to go make there lives miserable for a couple of weeks or until they beg for forgiveness, you know whatever comes first," Jade said shutting her phone off, and heading to go check the other rooms.
