"Tell us." Flora said, impatiently.
"Alright. Let me start." I said, annoyed at all the attention. You wouldn't think it, but I hate attention. I like sitting back and watching other people do what they please and see how it all turns out.
"Well, it started 16 years ago." I said, trying to sound wise.
"I said not your whole life story." Stella said.
"Shut up. If you wanna know, you HAVE to know my whole life story." I said before continuing on. "Anyways, like I was saying. 16 years ago a beautiful baby girl was born with deep red hair and emerald green eyes that seemed like perfect jewels you could sell for the highest price. The eye color gave it all away." I said before reaching in my pocket for a picture of my sister. I took it out and handed it to Flora.
"That's my sister. Her eyes are a different color than mine because she has a different power." Flora passed it on until it came back around to me.
"She's pretty." Flora said.
"Pretty with a heart of stone." I said putting it back in my pocket. "She's practically evil. It stills surprises me that she is still a fairy. It's amazing how much more talented I am then she is and she is 3 years older than me. Either way, her eyes are blue. She controls anything to do with water."
"That's so cool!" Musa said.
"It is until she tries to drown you." I laughed for no reason and everyone looked at me strange. "I'm serious, she tried to drown me."
"So what does eye color have to do with anything and if your eyes are green doesn't that mean you should control nature?" Tecna asked.
"Nope. Brown eyes show the power of mother nature, like Flora." I said pointing to her eyes. "There are so many different colors we aren't yet aware of. My eyes are unique and no one else has this exact color. People have green eyes but the intensity of mine, separate us."
"So emerald means lightning?" Bloom asked.
"Pretty much."
"How does that make sense?" Stella asked.
"Simple, Bloom should be familiar with this term, Roman."
"Roman how?"
"I come from the Roman Realm. That's where Earth got their idea of Roman Gods, it all started with my Realm. One of my great ancestors traveled to Earth in search of others like us, we found many. He found his soul mate there and they both came back to my realm and that's how my family line started. He was a warlock that could control small aspects of nature and water, and she could control weather and lightning. They had a baby named James, I mean, that's not a cool name AT ALL but he was the most powerful baby they'd ever seen. He could control everything they could, but better." I stopped to look at my cell phone that was buzzing in my pocket.
I pulled it out and it was a call from Brandon. "Hold on a sec." I said before bringing the phone to my ear. "Hello."
"Hey, are you telling them yet?" He asked.
"In the middle of it now."
"Good, we're coming in the door." He said before hanging up and the dorm room door opened and all 5 boys walked in. Brandon made his way to Stella and Sky made his way to Bloom while Timmy walked over to Tecna and Musa was practically being hovered over by Treyce. I felt bad for Flora because there wasn't anyone for her yet. Thankfully Riven sat down beside her.
"So tell us about it." Sky said, smirking because he already knew. I repeated myself up until they walked in and I could see Stella practically drooling on Brandon from sleeping on his shoulder.
"This is where I left off with the girls." I said before continuing on. "James was the most powerful baby in any of the realms and he grew up to be one of the best wizards of all time from one lifetime to the next. He eventually married and had 3 kids. One could control water, the other lightning, and the other fire. That's where the people on Earth got their idea of Roman Gods. They used those people as their main three before and after turning them Greek. We call them Roman because lightning was Jupiter, water was Neptune and fire was Pluto. It was fire but Earth decided it would be cooler to make it the underworld."
"You just brought back my entire sophomore year of English, if I ever go back, which I won't, you're totally helping me on any quiz about it." Bloom laughed.
"I could try but people have changed it so much I'm not sure I'll even know what they're talking about. But lightning, named Lucian, gave birth to two lovely girls. Both amazingly stunning with deep red hair, one with the eyes of the bluest sea, the other the eyes of an emerald." I smiled. "My father Lucian couldn't even imagine parting ways with me or my sister, but after his brother, Damien, attacked demanding that he stole his water baby, we had to leave."
"You're saying that Neptune thought Jupiter stole his baby?" Tecna asked. I nodded. "Why would he?"
"He wouldn't, that's the point." I said. "But because Neptune thought he did, me and Mina had to go to another realm for the time being, a realm no one would think to look for two amazingly powerful girls." I looked at Sky. "This is where we meet Sky and Brandon."
Bloom and Stella looked at them both stunned. "We had made a new home in his realm for the small amount of time we were needed to be there. Blondie always had a thing for Mina, but the other one could not stand to part with me." I laughed as Stella glared at Brandon. "Don't worry Stella, we didn't even date for more than a week before we realized he could never be more than a brother to me." She stopped glaring at him and softened her look.
"Anyways, so after Damien left my realm we returned but something had changed, we had no mother to come home to. Damien had called their last brother, Ian, to come and help him with the loss of his child, but Ian had left Damien with some bad news, he could not have a family so he was the one that stole his child and he needed a mother to help her care for her, so he took mine. Mina had changed worse than that though, she couldn't handle it because it was her mother that always treated her like the one with more power, and she always treated me like a monster that was destined to raise hell to all realms, so I was the one that didn't get bed time stories or a single hug whenever I did something worth noticing. That was what my father was there for."
"My father is the King of the Roman Realm. He is also known as the Leader of the Council. If you don't know what that is, it's the Rulers and Helpers of each realm and dimension. He was known as Jupiter, as well as I. I am the Jupiter prodigy. I was born to rule the realm yet my mother and sister never saw it that way. They said it was a curse to hold such power. My father didn't like that because he had my power, but my mother knew that my power extended beyond his. It is a once in 10 lifetime's opportunity to hold the power of James, but my mother knew as soon as she saw me, that I had that same power. I can control Lightning, as well as other aspects of nature but at a minor degree."
"My father hates to be named Jupiter, but I do not. He passed that name on to me as a gift that my sister had never liked. She wanted to be more powerful; she offered a duel and lost. In my realm, if the next ruler loses a duel, the winner is automatically named the new ruler when the current one leaves, in this case, me. So I am the princess of the Roman Realm. I studied more than Mina did, so it's not like she knew about it, but I did and I would hold it over her head for years until she finally read it for herself and lost all control and left."
"I still speak to her but in my own sense of protection. That doesn't make sense to some of you but I reassure you, I speak to her telepathically to make sure she is all right and that nothing has happened to her because I enraged her enough to leave. If she is gone, I feel nothing except guilt."
I could hear my voice getting more unemotional. I hated talking about my life but they needed to know. I was starting to sound like my mother did whenever she talked to me. That's how I felt right now anyways.
"Because I was princess, I had to be betrothed. I was betrothed to Treyce, but in my realm, if the guy does not feel something for the girl; it is not meant to be. We tried every one in my realm but no one was fit enough for me, So they tried someone from a different realm, Brandon, but like I said, that didn't last more than a week. So I left in search of the one who will help me take over my realm when my father passes. I think I have found someone but I am not sure yet, so I will continue on being a student here long before and long after I do, there's no way I could leave you lovely people." I smiled at them and they smiled back.
Brandon and Sky walked over to me and hugged me, followed by Flora Tecna and Musa, then Treyce, then Stella and Bloom. They all stopped hugging me and I could see Riven sulking to himself where he sat before I stopped telling them my story.
I wonder who it is. I could hear him think. I smiled at him and walked over and hugged him "I know you'll figure it out one day." I said before letting go and waving to everyone. I had to go talk to Faragonda.
…
"I told them." I said to her as I sat down in the chair in front of her desk.
"I know." She replied, smiling.
"How do you know?"
"I was listening in. It was a touching story by the way." I nodded at her, acknowledging her compliment. "I couldn't help but wonder, have you found your soul mate yet?"
"I'm not sure. I could have but I wouldn't know how this works so I could be wrong." She nodded at me back. "I'm not jumping to conclusions."
"That would be the wise decision. Go back to your dorm."
"Thanks for your thoughts." I smiled at her and walked out of her office.
…
I was sleeping pretty nicely until I heard Flora and Stella talking. It sounded like mumbling but the walls were thin and even though they were whispering I could still make out most of what they were saying. I just rolled over and let it go, until I saw the time.
It was almost eight and my dad wanted to meet me in the city at eight thirty for breakfast with my sister.
That is going to be bittersweet, but I can deal with it since that's the only plans we have for the day considering my mother isn't around.
I swallowed the lump in my throat and stood up to get dressed in the best casual clothes I could. Maybe I didn't like her, and maybe she didn't like me, but she was still my mother and the thought of her taken away from me isn't an easy thought.
I was dressed in a purple tank top and baggy jeans that showed some lace, if you know what I mean. My father might disapprove some but he'd get over it pretty quickly when he saw what my sister was probably wearing. I can assume it consisted of a half shirt and a mini skirt. She was older, and definitely a big slut.
I walked into the main room and I saw Tecna and Flora putting their things by the door and watched as the others stood by the furniture.
"I didn't realize this was a special day." Bloom said. "I didn't make any plans for going home."
You'd think the holiday would come up in a regular conversation, but I wouldn't know because I usually don't have conversations with them on a regular basis. I'm usually talking to Sky or Brandon, which they both had an earful about from their little 'cuties'. I really need new friends if they're going to get in the way of that. And Treyce was here now, but he and Musa have it in for each other's tips so it's not like he'd talk to me anyways. How could he hear me from that far up her ass? Trick question, he couldn't.
I walked Flora and Tecna out of the door and down to the Alfea gates. "Have a good day you two." I smiled at them, my two favorite roommates.
They smiled back and waved and said their goodbyes. I was actually kind of sad to see them go, but I would love if the other three left.
I left to go into the city and meet my father and sister. Not being able to say mother hurt, but it's not like I ever had a chance to say it anyways. Sadly, that's the part that hurt.
…
At Cloud Tower, the Trix sisters are in Miss Griffin's office, with Miss Griffin yelling at them. She shows them the letter from Miss Faragonda telling her about the sisters' sneaking into Alfea. She's especially upset that a group of freshmen pixies caught them, telling the sisters that they've embarrassed Cloud Tower. She demands that the sisters redeem themselves, to break hearts, bones, whatever it takes to crush the pixies by the day's end.
…
I finally finished with that horrible breakfast. It was dreadful and I wouldn't relive it if someone's life depended on it, maybe. My sister wanted to go down and watch the Race for the Rose. It's such a stupid race but I do enjoy watching people mess up. I didn't get a glimpse of who it was, but someone fell of their bike last year in the first round. It was pretty hilarious.
I was walking down the sidewalk with my sister beside me and I was searching the crowds for pretty much anyone I knew. I wasn't watching where I was going but I heard Mina giggle from beside me so I glanced at her but in the middle of glancing, I ran face first into someone. She outright laughed her annoying high pitched laugh that could send anyone to an asylum.
"Watch it!" Someone said before turning around. Of course, I would know that deep voice anywhere. "Well, if it isn't little miss pixie. Having a play date with really hot girl I have to say." He said looking at Mina up and down. I wanted to gag at that very moment but I would probably almost die.
Oh well. I thought as I gagged loudly for my sister to stop laughing and trying to look seductively at Riven. She did but instead she glared at me. "I wouldn't smile like that if I were you." I still smiled at her because I thought this was actually pretty funny.
"Give me your best." I said and when she didn't do anything I laughed and walked over to Stella and Bloom.
Riven ended up coming up behind me and I didn't know and I back up into him after relaxing my stance.
"Watch yourself pixie. I get you're a fan of the Rivenator but I must warn you, backing up into me isn't a nice thing to do if you want to keep yourself a goody." He said in my ear, quiet enough for only me to hear and I could feel my face go hot again and I got chills up my spine.
"Where'd my sister go?"
"She said she was bored here and we both agreed that she's ugly and I'm not her type." He chuckled.
"She'd never admit to being ugly?" I said, questioningly.
"She didn't, but she doesn't know that I think that." I laughed at him and shook my head, stepping beside him so he was in the group too. My face was back to normal but I still got chills whenever he glanced at me from the side.
"The race is going to be intense." Brandon said. I only caught the last part of their conversation.
"Intense for you two maybe. I'm a shoe in to win; they should just put my name on the trophy now." Riven said, laughing again.
"I wouldn't get too cocky, Rivenator." Sky said, using his fake nickname.
"I wouldn't get to mouthy considering you fell off of your bike in the first lap last year." I almost busted a gut from laughing. I looked at Sky with tears in my eyes.
"I can't believe that was you." I said finally. "That was some good shit. Okay, I'm done laughing now." I said, even though I could feel my face was red and I was getting a six pack from laughing and I still had a few giggle fits.
"At least we have girls to cheer us on." Brandon said. "You have Lita, but it's not like she'd shout your name for anything." Him and Sky laughed and so did Bloom and Stella. I forced a giggle and I could feel my face go red again. It REALLY needs to stop doing that.
"Please, I could have any pixie at Alfea if I wanted." He shrugged and smirked. "You've been giving me the eye too haven't you Bloom?" He winked and laughed.
Bloom got pretty pissed just then. She stormed up to Riven and started yelling. "I don't like you Riven!" He shrugged it off. "You're awful and mean. You're rude to the people that try and help you and actually do care for you even in the slightest. I don't see how that part was even possible though." Riven looked slightly scared. "I don't see how anyone likes you because I can name one or two and I just don't see how when you treat them so horribly and don't even acknowledge their feelings because you're so wrapped up in your big head." She was done ranting she turned around with a small pout on her face.
I was watching everyone else's reaction, forgetting about Riven's and Bloom's. Stella was nervously watching and Sky and Brandon looked at each other with worried expressions. They were probably worried about how Riven would react. I was too. I had to see how he was taking it.
After she turned around, Riven moved her chin towards him. "You are really cute when you're angry, you know that? I dig girls who play hard-to-get."
Brandon looked like he was about to kill Riven, but I wouldn't blame him. My jealousy was getting the best of me at this moment. Bloom looks shocked at the audacity and she used magic to bring a pot of flowers over Riven.
No matter how jealous I was, I wasn't going to let him get humiliated and drenched so I flicked a finger at Bloom and her hand flew up, bring the pot on top of her head and 'accidentally' pouring it on herself.
Riven was still upset but not as much, but it definitely was enough to make him storm off. I looked at Bloom as innocently as I could so she wouldn't think I did that. I gave her a questioning look and she looked like she was about to cry. It was pretty funny actually.
"I should apologize for saying those things." She said.
"He totally deserved it." Stella said.
"He wouldn't take your apology anyways." Sky said.
"I'm going to go find him, make sure he doesn't kill anyone." I said before walking off, not waiting for a reply that was going to tell me it wouldn't work.
…
Riven walks through Magix. He tells himself how disgusting love is, and how he doesn't want it. Not only is he lying to his friends, but to himself too, apparently. In a nearby alley, the Trix sisters are watching.
"This guy's got a major attitude problem. I like him." Darcy said to the other girls.
"Are you falling in love, Darcy?" Icy said in reply.
"You wish, besides, I can't believe you know how to say four letter words." She laughed at her own stupid joke.
…
I walked up behind Riven after I found him. I heard the last thing he mumbled to himself and for a second, I wanted to turn around and run, but I was already this far. "Riven." I said and he stopped walking and turned around. "Listen, I know you're not happy about what Bloom said, but don't let it get to you. If anyone is bitter, it's her." I smirked at him and his face was emotionless but his eyes perked a little.
"You can go back to your brooding." I laughed. "But I'm literally always open to talk, especially since Sky and Brandon are up those chick's asses all the time." I laughed again before turning around. But I turned back around, still walking. "And I wouldn't believe what Brandon said. I would for sure cheer you on, maybe in more ways than one." I winked at him and turned around to walk forward. I turned the corner before I let my face get red again. I smiled to myself.
…
The Trix saw the whole encounter with Lita and Riven. Icy intends to turn Riven against the Earth girl. Even more so, I guess. And Lita. Icy calls for Knut, who changes Knut to look like Timmy, against Knut's wishes.
…
Bloom is walking through Magix, as Bloom gets distracted by a dancer who looks sorta' like the person from Bloom's dream. Timmy-actually Knut in disguise-snaps Bloom out of her trance. 'Timmy' speaking in broken English, tells Bloom that he was just talking to the other guys, and they've disappeared. He says he had heard about the fight between herself and "Stiven." Bloom asks who he's talking about, and Timmy quickly corrects himself, that he meant Riven, and says he has just the thing to mend fences between Riven and herself. Timmy pulls what looks like a glasses case out of his pocket, and struggles trying to get the thing to work. It turns into what looks like a pair of headphones, though it's covering his face. He eventually gets it to turn into a helmet, and explains to Bloom that the helmet is the latest, best model. Bloom says that he bought it, that he should get to give it to Riven, but Timmy insists.
"It's a way for you two to make up. Tell him you wanted him to crash. Uh, I mean drive well and you hope he likes it." Knut said.
"Thanks, Timmy, this was very thoughtful of you." Bloom replied, happily.
"Uh, I've gotta' run, gotta' get to the, uh, science thing at the, uh, place. Bye!" He said before running off.
…
If I was there when that happened, I would beat the hell out of Bloom. Why is she so gullible? Timmy is acting even more stupid and awkward than usual and she finds no problem in this. That's just wrong.
...
Back in the alley with the Trix sisters, Icy scolds 'Timmy' for his practically spoiling the Trio's plans. He apologizes, and Icy changes him back to his Knut form.
"Aww, I thought we were going to get to punish him." Stormy said to Icy.
The sisters and Knut teleport to a nearby rooftop, to watch the action from below. Icy explains that she'll cast a spell on the helmet Bloom will give to Riven while he's racing, causing him to think that Bloom sabotaged his helmet, and that Darcy will save him, and Riven will think they're on his side.
"He'll be so grateful, he'll join our side." Icy said, proud of her plan.
"I sure hope so." Darcy said, letting her infatuation get the best of her.
"You are so crushing on him." Stormy said, not believing Darcy when she tells her no.
"No I am not." She replied. "He'd be more useful than Knut, that's all." She said, trying to convince them both, including herself.
"I think Darcy would like to make him her pet project, emphasis on the pet!" Icy said, making them all laugh.
…
The racers took their hoverbikes to the starting line. Bloom rushed up to them.
"Where have you been?" Stella asked Bloom with very little concern. "I hope you spotted some amazing sale."
"Nothing you would have liked, sorry." Bloom replied before walking off to find Riven.
Once she found him, she convinced him she was sorry and handed him the helmet that he took with little pity and happiness.
"Good luck." She said before walking off and he turned away. "Be careful, Brandon." Bloom said to Sky.
The boys are in the race, at the starting line when Bloom talks to Stella.
I walked up and butted in their conversation, trying to make it less obvious that I actually found him and talked to him.
"What's going on?" I asked."
"I saw Timmy earlier and he gave me a way to patch things up with Riven." Bloom said proudly. Other than the fact I was jealous, which I had been getting a lot lately, I was utterly confused and by the look on Stella's face, so was she.
"What are you talking about Bloom?" Stella asked. "Timmy went home for the Day of the Rose. He isn't even in the same galaxy as us."
"Then who was I talking to?" Bloom said before looking up and the look of realization finds its way onto her face. "The Trix." Bloom darted through the crowd as I showed Stella where Bloom was looking and the light to the race turned green right before Bloom could make her way to Riven.
Bloom changed into her winx form and flies after Riven as Darcy enters the race from a nearby alley.
"Whoa, someone call security! We have an overenthusiastic fan on the track!" the announcer said.
(Too long for my comfort) As Bloom gets closer to Riven, he thanks Bloom for the helmet, which he says makes him feel like one with the bike. Stormy complains that Bloom will mess everything up, but Icy says it'll make Bloom seem even more suspicious. Just as Bloom almost reaches Riven, Icy puts a spell on the helmet that blinds Riven, and prevents him from taking his helmet off, and Riven loses complete control of his bike, crashes, and goes flying in the air. Bloom tries to hurry to save Riven, but Darcy, on her hoverbike, gets to Riven first, and catches him.
Darcy gently places him on the ground. Sky asks what Bloom did to him, and she tells him it was the witches. Darcy removes Riven's helmet and puts a spell on him to fall in love with the first girl he sees when he opens his eyes. She shakes him only slightly and he opens his eyes, with his head tilted to the side, and then looks at her as she takes off her helmet with her hair flowing and looking innocent.
"You're beautiful." Riven lied through his teeth. There was something off about him but it's not like I could tell from far away. I thought to myself. Okay, I can. I can hear his thoughts. Duh!
I wasn't even fully asleep, this chick is crazy. I feel like I should know her from somewhere. Either way, she's a witch. I don't know how I'm supposed to be 'in love' with her. I can't act like I'm not. I'll probably be thrown into another dimension. Lita should really kick this chick's ass.
I stopped listening to his thoughts after that last sentence but I was still listening to their conversation.
"Hi, I'm Darcy." She replied. Bloom tries to attack Darcy.
"You and the other witches caused this!" She said.
"How could I if I saved him?" Darcy said slyly.
"You did." She said.
"You're a liar, Bloom." Riven yelled, jerking my head up to his outburst. "You did something to deactivate my helmet so your precious little Brandon could win." He continued on, getting louder as he spoke.
"Riven, hear Bloom out." Sky said.
"No."
"Riven." I spoke up.
He looked at me for a split second with the most unreadable eyes I've ever seen. "Why isn't anyone listening to me? Why are you all taking her side?" Riven said, still looking at me.
"We're trying to help both of you." I said. Can you hear me? Those were Riven's thoughts but they were directed towards me, I nodded slightly trying to not make it noticeable.
If you want to help, tell them about Darcy's spell but don't tell them it didn't work.
What's the spell and why didn't it work?
I was supposed to fall in love with Darcy as soon as I saw her, but I don't know why it didn't work.
I'll tell them about the spell.
Thanks.
"I'm leaving." Riven said, giving me the smallest, most unnoticeable smirk ever.
"I'll go with you." Darcy said, taking Riven's arm and walking away, glaring at me for a split second.
…
I woke up the next morning to Flora and Stella talking again. It was the most annoying thing to wake up to because I just want to punch them both in the face for being loud enough to wake me up. I did catch some of their conversation though.
"I wish I could change in my sleep." Stella said.
"It's not just her clothes that are changing; I think it's a sign of her powers evolving." Flora replied.
Boring, I thought. I'm going back to sleep. I turned over and went back to sleep.
…
We all walked outside for some 'nice' fresh air. It was muggy from the rain last night and I was still grumpy about being woken up.
"The dream I had last night was so weird. The glowing person in my dream had the same voice that led us out of Cloud Tower." Bloom kept going on and on. I could see Stella getting pissed.
"Boring, new topic!" She yelled and I choked a laugh.
Bloom starts describing the glowing presence, while Tecna uses a psychic beetle to try to read Bloom's subconscious.
Stella sighed and I looked at her sadly, understanding her pain, I go through it all of the time.
Tecna prattles on a bit on how sophisticated the psychic beetle is, but whatever, it works! Tecna's psychic beetle producers a perfect rendering of the glowing figure. Bloom finally recognizes her as a nymph on the facade of Town Hall.
Stella's pretty upset, though. Stella's tired of all the Bloom talk, all the attention Bloom's getting. Stella's thinking along the lines of why should she care about Bloom's little problem.
"Why are you getting all of the attention all of the time?" Stella started. "I'm tired of it; I want to listen to a conversation about someone else one time!" She yelled in Bloom's face.
"Quit throwing your 'little princess tantrum' and get a life." Bloom said before walking off.
Stella looks dumbfounded as to why Bloom is mad and I looked at her with the most confused look I could offer up.
"What happened?" Stella asked.
Everyone else just stared at her, pissed.
…
We were all hanging out in Musa and Tecna's room when Stella started going off again.
"A fashion sense would totally look cute on you, Flora." She said, smiling.
"That's not very nice." Flora said, looking admittedly hurt.
"It was just constructive criticism." She replied.
"Cool it, will you Stella?" Musa said. I hate the way she talks but I have to agree this time.
"It's not my fault no one likes you, I don't see how you'd ever get a boyfriend." She said, then looked at Tecna and continued her rant. "I don't like your outfit choices either." Stella said before turning back to Musa. "I mean, come on. Lita is less cool than you and she still has someone at least glancing her way." She turned to me. "Isn't that right, but I forgot he dissed you for Darcy." She laughed rudely.
I don't know why but I almost broke down. I never break down. I didn't even cry when my mother was taken. I don't get mushy over anything. I have a hot temper and witty come backs. This is NOT me. I've been around them too long to feel what I usually feel. Either way, that hit pretty deep. Maybe it's not me, maybe it's Riven. Maybe he has some crazy effect on me. I can't think about that anymore. My emotions are going crazy and I can see everything in the room giving off sparks.
Everyone looks scared. Aside from thinking about Riven, that's the thing that hurts most.
I turned and walked out of the room, out of the dorm, and out of the school. I passed by Bloom but I didn't want her near me so I made sure to zap her if she got in my bubble. She was trying to talk to me, I think, but I ignored her.
…
I hoped on a random bus and I was dropped off somewhere in Magix. I walked down a street and I really felt like pissing some witches off. I ALMOST walked into their café but I saw Riven sitting there with Darcy, I could tell she was flirting like a crazy bitch, but he looked like he was eating it up.
"What do you think you're doing at our café?" I heard icy say, I turned around with a sadistic smile on my face.
"Trying to piss off some skanky witches, do you think it's working?" I asked.
"I can say so." Stormy launched at me with her fist but I grabbed her arm and threw her into the café window. Alerting every one of my presence.
"You really need a lesson huh?" Icy said as the other witches came out of the café. There's a lot more than I thought. I said before stepping backwards slightly and bolting down the street. I could hear them all running behind me.
All of the freshman witches are running after me, shooting some extremely weak attacks at me. I turned a corner and ran head first into Riven.
"Riven, please you have to help me." I pleaded.
"I'd love to," He said. "But I'm with Darcy." He looked at me with sad eyes, touching my arm.
"Fine, forget it." I said before running past Riven, still listening to the witches behind me.
I was trapped in an alley and all I wanted to do was piss one or two off, not get the whole school after me in two minutes. I turned and saw all of them walking towards me, as the three senior witches came in for the kill.
I changed into my winx form just as the wall behind me is blasted open and the five girls and four specialists make their way towards me. Sky notices Riven and he attacks.
Icy gets mad and it starts to snow and all of the witches start to complain about it being cold. Stormy knocked Tecna out with lightning and Icy shoots ice crystals towards Stella. Darcy shoots her magic at me, but I dodge it and I could feel her teleport behind me. I dropped my winx and got on the ground. I always had better focus on the ground. Darcy and her replicas surrounded me.
"Now me, myself, and I, and the rest of us will finish you off."
Brandon knocks out Darcy for the time being, letting me breathe for a split second before watching Stormy hit both Bloom and Flora with lightning.
Timmy is trying to help Tecna but icy freezes them in place, along with Stella who is trying to protect them.
I looked around and saw Timmy, Tecna, and Stella frozen. Bloom and Flora were knocked out. Brandon and Sky were preoccupied with freshman witches and Riven. Musa and Treyce were still fighting, but only slightly. Darcy is surrounding her with cars. Treyce and I tried to help but Icy and Stormy got our my way.
"Move!" I yelled.
"I don't think so." She said. Her face turned sour, more than it already was, and she backed up a few feet. Just looking at her face pissed me off, but looking at Icy did worse, and looking at Darcy sent me over the edge.
The sky turned dark and the wind was like a twister in the making. Actually, it was. I could see the twister forming; taking the powers of the winx I called my friends and putting it into the twister. The twister made loud noises and had a fire wall (literally, like fire walls on the internet, with actual fire) that was intertwined with Light and Vines. The wind was so strong I could see only the witches holding back, no one else.
"Get away from my friends, you filthy unwanted skank."
Stormy backed off, scared. She tried to stop the twister with her own power but she couldn't. She was sucked in first. Icy tried to freeze it, but she was sucked in next. Darcy didn't even try to attack, she tried to run away, but she failed horribly.
Once all three of them were in the twister, I made it go faster. The powers all collided into one and along with my power, shocked consciousness out of them. Lightning attacked the ground and a quake shook it more than you would be able to handle. The buildings around me caught on fire and the people were all afraid for their lives.
I couldn't stop it though. I tried more than I would have liked to admit. Putting that much energy into one thing and not being able to stop it is never a good thing.
The only way to stop it, was to drain me of all of my energy and the only way to do that was put more energy into the twister. I couldn't do that because it had a high potential to kill them as it is. So I put energy into stopping the stuff around the twister.
I used water to put out the fires, I don't know how though, I don't control water. I cleared the sky and fixed the holes in the ground my lightning creating. The twister's power was lessening and I could see the pixies gaining consciousness as I lost mine. The twister stopped and the last thing I saw before passing out, was Riven.
…
The next day, Professor Palladium is all giddy over the midterm the fairies are about to take. He talks about all the magic that goes into the chamber, and the virtual reality it creates, and how you really do feel what is virtually occurring in the chamber. Stella asks Tecna to help her study.
Professor Palladium explains that the chamber will select a random dead planet, place the student on the planet, and have them survive extremely desolate conditions. He continues that they can bring a few potion ingredients, but nothing else, aside from their own magical powers.
…
"Say this once; say this twice. Cast this spell and all will be well. Hmm... Am I supposed to say the whole thing twice, or just the second part? Spells are so confusing." Bloom said, talking to herself. That was the best thing I've heard all day.
…
We were in the control room. No one wanted to take the test first, even though I was up for it, I wanted to see everyone else fail first.
"No one? Looks like we'll go alphabetically." Palladium said. "Bloom, you go first." He said.
I didn't know Amaryl dropped out of this class. I thought to myself, confused.
Bloom grabs her supply bag and enters the chamber, with us giving advice.
"Stay cool!" From Musa.
"Be careful." Flora said.
"Don't die." I said with a smile.
"Make us look good!" Stella said.
"Be logical." Tecna said proudly.
"Tecna, what kind of advice is that?!" Stella asked.
"The only logical kind." I smiled at Tecna's answer.
Bloom enters the chamber, which becomes a virtual version of the planet Sparx, I notice. That's definitely not good. Bloom decides she needs a food source, so she digs through her bag, finding Kiko, who she's not all too happy to see, but goes on with her planting a food source anyway. The Trix sisters appear behind Bloom, as Darcy performs a sound wave sort of spell to attack Bloom, which she dodges, and immediately transforms to her fairy form.
Bloom blasts a large fireball at Darcy to knock her down... but we see that the witches are not really in the chamber.
The sisters decide it's time to make Bloom release her dragon fire. Icy creates hail and rain, and while Stormy's distracting Bloom, Icy freezes her legs in place. Stormy taunts her more, as Icy points out that Kiko's about to fall into the lava. He falls in before Bloom can get to him, so Bloom tries to cast the protection spell, but it doesn't seem to work.
"It's all your fault." Icy said.
"You did let it happen." Icy said. "It's a shame: bunny was so cute."
Bloom is all ready to explode, when the witches capture Bloom's dragon fire, and get their virtual selves out the chamber
…
Bloom is lying down on the ground, pretty faint, when Kiko walks up to her. As well as a bunch of other Kiko-lookalikes. Except they're all virtual bunnies... but Bloom does find her own Kiko, snoring away.
Professor Palladium, unable to find another way to stop the exam, uses an extreme emergency spell to shut down the chamber. We all run and meet Bloom inside the chamber, now shut down. The test has to be postponed for everyone else, though... not that we all mind.
"She aced the test and got it postponed! Give it up for Bloom!" Stella yelled.
I still don't like her, but I'm getting there. And those witches are sure getting on my nerves. I'd love to beat the shit out of them. Soon enough though, I can feel it.
