Chapter 4

Skylar's POV

"Ok are we all ready?" Aunt Layla's question was followed with a bunch of yes's and yups's. "Well, let's get to it then." We all got into our positions. By the time this happened, Baltor walked by. A new idea hit me and took a deep breath. This is my time to shine.

"Hey Baltor!" he paused with a smirk on his face. "I bet you're glad I'm in this cell so I can't beat that sorry excuse of an ass of yours." I yelled coolly at him. Everyone, except for Mrs. Griffin, looked at me like I had said that I was a floating unicorn in the sky. From Mrs. Griffin I earned a half of a smile-ish sort of thingy, and a nod. Then, I knew that she knew the exact same thing: Baltor would never fall for that crap of an idea that had seemed so damn brilliant a few minutes ago. That blanket of people thing would more likely fall after a few seconds of holding that position. Fail! Mrs. Griffin and I also knew the only way to really get to Baltor was to get him pissed. And I mean raging. But how to do that was beyond me. Of course, I have never done some totally awesome, ass kicking, fairy move, let alone any sort of karate move. So, you know what? I'm just gonna wing it. "Oh-ho, I can't wait 'til my mom comes. Would you happen to have any popcorn in this cell? I said aimlessly looking around. While doing this, I saw very angry, scared expressions from everyone. Courtney looked like she wanted to smash me head against the wall, and then feed all the juice in it to Baltor's pets. While I was shivering at the thought of this, while Baltor was contemplating to come into this cell to try to kick my ass, something happened that I would have never thought possible: my mother flew in-really, she had wings sticking out of her back- in with that Sky dude (oh joy) running behind her with a blue sword in his hand. My mom worked up something fire-y red, I think it was a flame! She was holding a legit flame that matched the color of her hair that i, no thanks to Sky, did not inherit. She then took this magic flame and just threw it at Baltor! Damn! That's gotta hurt. He got knocked out, (haha, loser). She grabbed the keys , let us go out and I immediately went and hugged her. Well, so did my 'aunts' so we all kinda fell over.

"Bloom! Where in the name of Magix have you been?"

"Ya Bloom, tell us, where have you been!" said cold voice that I didn't recognize. I turned to look at this mysterious person. I found myself looking at three ladies. Each in an outfit which I guess they think is sexy, with a smug look on their face. One of them had hair that One of them had hair that that (and I am not over exaggerating) that literally looked like a storm cloud. She had dark, beady eyes and heavy, gothic make-up. Another had long, brown hair with highlights. She was defiantly the prettiest. The one just talking had long white hair and icy blue eyes. She sent a chill up my spine…creeeeeepy! My mom was the first to recover from their sudden appearance.

"Awe, Icy! It's been too long. I've really missed you….well, you losing all the time!"

"Oh bring it on, pixie!" Icy said. Wait, I thought we were fairies! What the hell! I'm so confused. My aunts seemed to grimace at being called a 'pixie', oh, so that's not cool.

"All in good time, witch. Or should I say bitch?" my mom shot back. Holy crap! Did my mom just cuss? The person who said cussing was forbidden? That hypocrite! It's like this is a different person! Oh well! I must have made some dramatic movement, because Icy turned her glare over to me.

"And who, may I ask, is this? Now, Bloom, why didn't you tell us you had a daughter?" Icy said in a sickly sweet tone that made me want to gag.

"Well, it's really is none of your damn business now is it?" Mom snapped.

"You know, it really is such to destroy such a pretty face." Icy said as she broke into an evil laugh, so much so, that even that bitch Mitzy would feel fear.

"Don't you dare." Mom screamed, rage burning in her eyes.

"Oh-ho, we dare." The lady with long, brown hair spoke. Then, Icy and the other two ladies lifted their hands in sync, and created what looked like a purple ball of electricity/. Then they shot the ball straight at, yup you got it…me. Oh shit.

"NO! SKYLAR!" Mom jumped right in front of me. The…um…"ball" hit her at full force. I was both in awe and rage, not sure which one was more powerful at the moment. All my rage then turned into "awe" as my mom started glowing a fire-y shade of red and floated upwards. Then, her teal miniskirt and tank top turned into a ce-ute teal and pink dress. Well, I have got to say, that was unusual. Mom started falling head first to the ground. In a flash, she snapped her head up and threw a death glare straight at Icy.

"You were saying?" and with that Baltor (who just regained consciousness), Icy, and the other two ran away. Haha! Losers! I turned my attention to my mom, whom I now know to never piss off, ever again!

"Ohmigod! Mom that was freakin' awesome! How'd you do that? Oh, you should have seen yourself you were-" I started to say.

"Woa, slow down Skylar." She said in a weak voice and fainted,

"Mom!" I said as I rushed to her. All of the sudden I realized how messed up this is, so I said, "Really? One second she's kicking ass and now she's on the ground, unconscious?"

"Bloom!" Sky yelled as everyone except for Courtney, Melody, Aqua, Tiffany, and Lily ran to my mom's aid. I caught a glimpse of Courtney's face, which had the most bored expression on it. This really got my p-o'd. My mom could be dead! The least she could do is act like she cared. As I ripped my eyes from Courtney's face, I asked, "What happened to her Aunt Flora?" I had this vibe that she would know the most about medicine and what happened.

"I think she is suffering from power exhaustion."

"And that is…?" I pressed.

"Power exhaustion is when someone uses a bunch of their power in a short amount of time, when they haven't even used magic in a very long time. Your mom hasn't used her Dragon Fire in 16 years and she just fought off icy, Darcy, Stormy and Baltor in not even 15 minutes."

"Oh, and one more thing: What the hell is the Dragon Fire?"

"Skylar!" Sky said in a disapproving voice.

"Oh, don't be surprised that I cuss, Daddy Dearest." I said coldly.

"Ooo, you just got burned!" Aunt Stella laughed at my "father" while everybody else stared at her.

"Mom!" Courtney screamed as blush crawled up her cheeks, obviously embarrassed. Wow, never thought I live to see that in my life.

"Well, excuse me. Anywhom, Sky, have you heard anything from Brandon?

"Oh uh, well, you see Stella, a lot can happen in 12 years." Sky stammered, clearly wanting to avoid the conversation. I cut in asking: "12 years, what do you mean by 12 years?"

"Skylar, we have been in this cell for precisely 12 years, 4 months, 27 days, and 3 hours. Of course, if you wanted to add minutes and seconds-",started Aunt Techna.

"Wait, how could you guys survive here for so long?" I asked, no caring about how many seconds they were trapped and what not.

"It wasn't easy," Aunt Stella snapped, obviously wanting to return to her oh so fascinating conversation. "So Sky, you were saying?"

"Brandon is um, well you see, he uh.."

"SPIT IT OUT ALREADY, OR ELSE I'LL BEAT IT OUT OF YOU!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Brandon in married!" Sky blurted as Stella stood shocked, it looked like she was almost going to go into a seizure type of shock).

"Who's Brandon?" I whispered to Aqua.

"According to Stella, he's Courtney's dad." She replied.

"He, h-he, he's WHAT!" Aunt Stella screeched. My, my, my, little miss sunshine is having a cloudy little day. "Where is he now?"

"Om, on Solaria." Sky squeaked, probably hoping with his life that those words won't be his last.

"Mhhh, and why is he there, may I ask?"She said cooly, slowly stepping towards Sky.

"He's the king," Sky said while trying to cover his face with his hands.

"That doesn't make since. He's not married to me; yet." All of the sudden her face lit up- in like a scary way- like she was gonna blow the room up. "HOW DARE SHE! FIRST SHE STEALS MY THRONE, NOW SHE'S TAKEN MY BOYFRIEND! CHIMERA'S GOING TO PAY! PAY BIG TIME!" Next thing I knew, I saw a flash of light, I was going through some vortex thingymabob, then I landed face-first on a floor that I didn't recognize. You know, not that I spend a bunch of time looking at floors. Well, at least I'm not in a prison cell like the last time: I hope.

AN: Pretty please review! You would be my bestestestest friend!
