Chapter 4: Animal i have become
Hello guys, sorry that I am just uploading one chapter in two weeks (almost). I really would do it faster. Maybe I am able to write two or three chapters in my holidays, so I can upload them in the new year all at once. Until this happens: Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year. :)
When the girls returned to the m.s. All of them took place at a wooden table in the middle of the waiting room.
No one talked. Everything was silent. It was an overwhelming silence. For about twenty minutes there was no noise. And then the door was pushed open and Miss Faragonda, followed by Miss Griffin, entered the room. All of the girls stood up, facing the headmistresses.
„Hello girls. How are you?" Miss Griffin asked them with concern.
„We're fine. But what's going on? What's with these ornaments?" Bloom asked as she walked up to the black haired woman.
„Faragonda showed me the picture, but i need to see it in real once more! Would you please?"
Bloom nodded and lifted her shirt one more time. After five minutes of studying Blooms back, Miss Griffin looked up and sight.
„Okay Bloom, you could let it go. So,...I've got good news and bad news. Which one would you prefer?"
„The good one!" the girls said in unison.
„ Okay girls, the good news is, it is no curse. The bad one is, it is a seal. I don't know „what" was sealed inside you girls, but I know, that it has to be strong. The stronger the sealed object is, the bigger is the seal. And your seals are really huge."
At this, the girls didn't know what to say. They just stood there eyes wide open.
„A seal...? So...someone...something..is sealed inside us?"
Flora asked, the voice filled with shock.
„I'm sorry girls, I think so!"
Silence.
And then, the air was vibrating. All of the girls were talking across each other in fearful and hysteric voices.
"Who did that?"
"Why did they do it to us?"
"What have we done to deserve this?"
"What shall we do?"
"Girls, girls! Please calm down!" Miss Faragonda shouted trying to raise her voice above the ones of the girls.
"Please girls,please. We will find an answer, but we need to calm down first. First things first. We need to know what happened before all this happened. And then we could think about some solutions."
All of the girls were now quiet. Flora and Musa had sat down trying to contain themselves. Layla and Stella were walking up and down in front of the window, and Bloom and Techna were looking at each other thinking ,mentally, about what exactly happened.
"Do you know what happened?" Bloom asked hoping for an answer.
" No,I don't know, really. I fed my PC with every data we've got, but nothing. There are to many variables."
"Damn. I just know what happened before we fell unconscious. Shall we call the guys? Maybe they can help us?"
"Yeah maybe...I'll call Timmy!"
Techna reached for her phone and dialed her boyfriends number.
"Hay Timmy, how are you? I wanted to ask you if you and the other guys could come to Alfea? We need some help in refreshing our memories." Techna said when Timmy answered her call.
"Yes of course. Weren't we supposed to met each other anyway today? I thought that." Timmy asked a little confused.
"Oh yes of course, sorry Timmy we forgot about that because...something happened. That's why we need help."
"Ok, I'll call the guys. We'll be there in about twenty minutes." Timmy hang up the phone and Techna walked over to the headmistresses.
"Miss Faragonda, Miss Griffin, I just wanted to say that I just called Timmy. He will come to Alfea with the other guys and maybe they can help us, cuz' we don't remember anything. Just what we told you before in our report."
"Ok girls, we'll wait for the boys." Faragonda said and all of the girls nodded.
After twenty minutes the boys arrived. All of them hurried into the waiting room the Winx Club and the two women were still sitting in and hugged their girlfriends. After the girls had told them what happened and what they found out the Specialists gasped. They couldn't tell what happened.
" There was to much smoke, we couldn't see anything. I don't know if something happened between the formation of the smoke and the moment we finally found the girls." Sky said holding Bloom tightly in his arms.
"Ok boys, no more questions. I don't think that we are able to figure out when the girls got these seals. The only thing we could do is wait, and see what happens." Faragonda said.
Miss F. and Miss Griffin walked towards the door. They said goodbye to the girls and left.
Time passed an after three weeks it was almost everything back to normal.
After nothing really happened, the girls and the boys started to go back to school and soon, get the next mission.
After five weeks they were called to Solaria to help a village which had problems with some bloodthirsty bears. The bears were coming closer to the village with every week and the villagers were concern about their children.
"Come on folks! We need to hurry!" Stella exclaimed. For the first time she was the one waiting.
"We're coming Stella, calm down." Musa said coming out of the girls dorm, followed by the other girls.
"When it comes to Solaria, Stella is unstoppable!" Layla said chuckling.
Stella raised an eyebrow but didn't say a thing. The girls got out and met the Specialist waiting with the ship.
"Finally we've got something to do." Flora said while hugging Helia.
Everyone entered the ship and they flew off.
Arrived at Solaria they instantly began to search the bears.
The group had split up into four groups of three. Every group began its search from an other cardinal direction. Meeting point was the center of the forest.
They searched for about half an hour when the team containing Bloom, Flora and Brandon heard something, similar to an eating bear. They duck and hide behind some trees. There was a bear hunched over something that was impossible to identify.
"Psst...girls...could you catch him without making any noise?" Brandon asked in a whisper and looked over to the tree the girls stood behind.
But there was no one. The girls were vanished without a trace.
"Girls? Where are you?" Brandon hissed looking around trying to find them.
He slowly walked a little bit back to where they come from. There about hundred meter away from where they had hide a minute earlier the two girls were kneeling on the ground, based on their hands and panted hard.
Their faces where filled with pain and tears were running down their cheeks.
Brandon stood there shocked.
"What's going on? Girls? What's wrong?" he asked not knowing what to do.
Bloom wailed in pain. Her arms and legs were shaking just as Floras.
And then something terrifying happened. The two girls began to growl like animals. Their eyes turned into an light orange and their hands convulsed into something like claws. The growl now sounded more beastly and the girls didn't looked like themselves anymore.
They bared their teethes and turned around to face Brandon who was now frightened enough that he backed away from the girls his left hand placed on his sword.
"Girls? Hello? Do you hear me? Please...remember me. I'm Brandon. I'm your friend." He tried to reach their human side hoping that it still existed.
Bloom and Flora, or at least what should be them, slowly walked up to Brandon. They sniffled like animals and looked at him, hungrily. And then they began to run towards him and a second later Bloom stroke out to him with one of her 'claws'. Brandon dodged the attack and pulled out his sword, but to slow. The next attack from Flora disarmed him. He backed away from them more and more trying to dodge their attacks but suddenly he stood on a tree, backwards. Not able to move or to escape. He was now frightened. He looked up and straight into Blooms eyes and when Blooms next attack had almost hit him, she stopped in her movements. Brandon gasped. He looked deep into her eyes and then her eyes changed. They lost their orange color and Blooms natural eye color returned. Everything changed back and a moment later Flora and Bloom were back to normal.
"What...what happened? Bloom asked not able to stand anymore. She collapsed on the ground followed by Flora who was in the same shape like her.
"I don't know Bloom..." Brandon said relieved to see that the girls were themselves again.
Bloom nodded sleepy and then she passed out, and Flora did too.
