Chapter 2
So Scared
Tecna was still crying after fifteen minutes, her hands covered her face and every time she thought she heard something, she would jump up quickly, shaking inside. Just then, the door slowly opened, it was Timmy. Like every time before, Tecna jumped up suddenly, this time she was relieved that it was someone she could trust. Timmy ran over to her, he knew she had been through something tragic just by the look on her face. She was even more pale than usual.
"Tecna, what's wrong?" he asked as he held her in his arms, he could feel her shaking nervously. Tecna wasn't afraid to cry in front of him anymore, so she leaned against him and continued to cry as he held her.
"You're shaking; please tell me what's wrong?" Timmy replied.
"I... I can't." Tecna sobbed, "I really wish I could, but my life is at stake."
"Oh Tec, if you're in danger, you shouldn't keep it a secret from me. I love you too much." Timmy wiped some tears from her eyes.
"I know you do, but if I tell anyone, I'll be..." Tecna couldn't hide her fear any longer, thinking of the many ways the Technolord could hurt her.
"I would never let anyone hurt you. Just take a deep breath and tell me what happened" Timmy sat her beside him on the couch. She took a few deep breathes and began to explain.
"Okay, I'll tell you. A sorcerer from my home realm called the Technolord wants my powers. He said I am the only one in my entire realm who has pure technological magic. Unfortunately..." Tecna started to cry again, thinking of her fate.
"What is it?" Timmy asked quietly as he looked at her.
"He has to destroy me to get it, and I think he's going to use it to take over my realm. He is the most powerful person in my realm, even my Enchantix is useless now." she continued, "I'm so scared." Timmy held her closer than ever as she finally burst into fresh tears.
"Tecna." he whispered in astonishment and sadness, "It'll be okay, I'm here." Just then, Flora and Bloom came in and noticed Tecna crying.
"Tec, are you crying." Bloom spoke quietly.
"Why?" Flora asked. Timmy then explained everything Tecna had told him. Both girls came to hug her. Now Tecna's fear of a terrifying demise started to grow, but she knew her friends would do anything to help her.
"We have to let Ms. Feragonda know about this." Bloom replied. Everyone followed her to Headmistress Feragonda's office.
Chapter 3
Permission
Bloom knocked on the door of Ms. Feragonda's room.
"Come on in Bloom." Ms. Feragonda spoke, "Is there anything the matter?"
"It's Tecna; her life is in terrible danger." Flora began. Once again, Timmy explained everything, but now with the help of Bloom and Flora. Seeing how scared Tecna looked, Ms. Feragonda was stunned.
"Oh my, Tecna you look pale." She took a tea cup from one of her cupboards and Flora made some calming tea with her magic.
"This should calm your nerves a bit." Flora gave the cup to Tecna. Her first few sips were shaky, but the warmth felt relaxing.
"Ms. Feragonda, can I have permission to stay at Alfea to protect her?" Timmy asked.
"I'll ask Professor Saladen if you can Timmy, but if an Enchantix is powerless against the guy, who knows what he'll do to you."
"I don't care; I just want Tecna to be safe." Timmy responded. Just then, Saladen appeared on Ms. Feragonda's holo-phone.
"I heard what you just said, you haven't show this much heroism since you first attended Red Fountain. Now that you've shown that heroism, you have the permission to stay at Alfea. Consider it an extra credit assignment." Saladen announced.
"Even if it wasn't, I'd still do it for her. I care about her too much not to stay." Timmy pointed out.
He stuck by Tecna every second of the day; however, she was still too scared to let her own guard down. She was even to scared to eat.
"C'mon Tecna, you have to eat something," Bloom said.
"We're really starting to get worried about you," Flora told her.
"I'm sorry girls; my stomach is in knots right now." Tecna explained.
"Do you want to lie down for a bit, you look like you need it?" Timmy asked.
"No, I can't, he'll probably take me in my sleep!" Tecna suddenly stood up. She knew she couldn't let her guard down.
"Tecna, listen to me. I would never let anything bad happen to you." Timmy reassured Tecna as he took her to her room.
