I woke up and I rolled over to the other side of the bed. Hold on. Bed? When did I get to bed? Then I realized. "Good morning, Firefly." Baltor smiled. He left the window and walked over to me. I sat up and instantly my body was filled with pain. I rested my back against the headboard.

"Good morning, sweetie. You did this, didn't you?" I asked as he sat on the edge of the bed and settled an arm round my shoulders.

"I might have done. How are you feeling?" He asked.

"A bit sore. But otherwise I'm fine." He stood up and stepped back.

"Try casting a spell. See how your energy's doing." He walked over to a drawer and pulled out a small square sheet of paper. "Here. Burn this. I honestly don't mind." I took the sheet of paper from him and saw that it was a photo. Of Icy. I stood up next to him.

"OK!" I said enthusiastically. He smiled. I laid my hand onto the photo and focused my energy on burning it. "Goodbye, Icy." My arm went up into flames and the next thing I knew, Icy was a pile of ash.

"Now we know your energy is back to normal." He wrapped an arm around my waist and spun me around to face him. "You did well yesterday. I'm proud of you, sweetheart." He whispered seductively.

He leaned in and I closed my eyes. Our lips met halfway. I wound my arms around his neck. About a minute into the kiss, the most annoying thing happened. My phone rang. I made to reach for it but Baltor grabbed my wrist and pulled it away from my pocket. He parted our lips just long enough to whisper huskily, "just leave it," before covering my mouth with his again. We parted for oxygen but after taking a mere breath, our lips met again. All through the process, my phone was ringing. I pulled my lips away and frowned.

"Ugh, this thing is starting to annoy me!" I reached into my pocket. I pressed a button on the navigation bar to answer the call from Flora. I held it to my ear. "What?!" I yelled.

"H-hi, Bloom." She squeaked. I softened, immediately feeling bad for shouting at her.

"Hey, Flora. Sorry, you kinda interrupted something important." I looked up at Baltor and he smirked.

"Do you want me to call back later?" She asked. I smiled.

"No, it's OK. What's up?" I asked. I clenched and unclenched my other fist to try and rid myself of the pain.

"We were just wondering how you were, you know, following the events of yesterday?" She asked. I heard her breath hitch.

"I'm OK, thanks. Just out of curiosity, did Layla actually find Stella yesterday?" I frowned as she took a long time to answer. "Well?" I asked.

"She, er, left campus when Layla told her about you." Flora whispered. I frowned and decided to let my anger out right there and then.

"Well, fuck her! That shitty cunt can go bloody die in hell!" I swore. Baltor gasped as one with Flora.

"Uh, OK. I'll, um, see you later?" She timidly asked. I took several deep breaths to calm myself.

"Yeah. I'll see you later. I'm sorry for not keeping my mouth under control." I apologized sincerely.

"Hey, everyone gets angry once in a while, don't they?" I smiled.

"Yeah. OK, I gotta go. See you in a bit."

"Bye!" We hung off. Baltor burst out laughing.

"I seriously didn't think you had it in you to swear that much like that. I'm impressed." He smirked.

"I was angry, OK?! I couldn't help it." He held himself together and reached out for me.

"I know you were. Anyone would be if the Solarian princess was involved." He frowned and through the Dragon Fire connection, I could feel his brain whirring. He truly was angry with her.

"You need to let your own anger out, sweetheart. Bottling it up isn't good for your health, even as a wizard." He smiled and held me tighter.

"OK, if you want Magix in ruins again." He smirked.

"Maybe not through the Dragon Fire. But seriously, being angry with a single subject for a long period of time could leave you mentally unstable."

"I'll think about it." He concluded.

"I better be getting back. Bye, honey." I rested my hands on his chest and gave him a peck on the cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too, sweetheart. I'll see you soon."

I teleported myself right outside my dorm.

"Hey girls!" I called as I opened the door.

"Hey, Bloom. Miss Faragonda wants to see you." Layla told me. "But before you go, you're OK, right?"

"Yeah. Thanks." I turned on my heel when Layla's voice stopped me once again.

"Sure? Even about Miss Solaria?" She countered.

"Not about that but health wise, I'm fine. I'll go see Miss F now."

I walked to the headmistress's office. "Miss Faragonda?" I called after I knocked on the door.

"Do come in, young fairy." She smiled at me over the top of her glasses. "I suspect Layla told you I wanted to talk to you, Bloom?"

"Yeah." I sat on the chair opposite her. There was a knock at the door and the person entered without an answer. Musa crossed over to the desk and bent down to reach Faragonda's ear. She whispered something and Faragonda paled. Eventually, she nodded. "What?"

"Don't worry, Bloom. Now, I hear you had your first battle with Lysthenstyne."

"Yeah. Boy, that wizard is strong." I mused.

"I should think so. He's almost nearing the end of his Dragon Fire hunt. Now all he has to do is capture you. You can't let that happen, Bloom."

"Who was that witch with him?" I asked her.

"She is Aquarius, Witch of Death."

"Don't you mean Major Witch of Death? An amateur Witch of Death is a bit extreme, isn't it?"

"Her title is Major but she has the abilities of an amateur witch."

"She's powerful."

"And so are you. I believe that you can fight them, Bloom. But not today. Your friends have gone to fight them." She said calmly.

"What? My friends are fighting to the death for me?" She nodded.

"Bloom, you lost too much energy in yesterday's battle. You are too weak to fight." She said.

"I can fight perfectly well!" I protested. "He wants me, not anyone else! I'm going to help them!" I determined.

"No, Bloom. Headmistress's orders. Let your friends cover this one." She commanded. She tried to get me to see 'reason'.

"No!"

A/N: *gasp* Bloom swore! Well done! Yes she did. No big deal.

How am I doing? You know I love reviews!
