Reading LeaMicheleLove's Family Around
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"Faragonda walked through the silent corridors." Saladin read loudly causing everyone to turn towards Faragonda who blinked slightly.
"What else is new? I swear she does nothing but work and walk through the corridors unless we make her do something else." Palladium said with a shrug.
It was past midnight and everyone, even the other professors, were fast asleep, or so she thought."
"Sounds like me or DuFour are up to another prank when you put it that way." Bloom said grinning and causing DuFour to nod in agreement.
"She wrapped her arms around herself as a cold breeze blew infrom an open window, causing goosebumps to rise on the older faires skin. She stared out of it sighing to herself."
"I wonder what had you up at such an ungodly hour Fara." Griffin said looking at her old friend who merely shrugged, although she did have an idea of what it was.Saladin snorted in amusement and kept reading.
"You may wonder what had the head mistress up at such an ungodly hour." Here Griffin looked surprised causing the rest of the teachers, and quite a few students to snicker in amusement.
"And that was her younger, immortal red haired ex-student."
"Whatever it is I haven't done it yet! ...I don't think." Bloom said defensively as everyone looked at her.
"A couple of months ago the professors had gotten captured by a mad vampire. He had decided that he wanted some one for food, saw them shopping and made it his business abducting them."
"That took us all by surprise." Griselda said frowning as she remembered that.
"The young red head had put the Winx in charge of keeping order within the three schools."
"Which, I will admit, was an absolutely horrible idea." Bloom said causing the teachers to nod in agreement.
"This had turned out to be a bad idea as Stella had been spelled to be washed the old fashioned way with a scrubbing board and Musa to be locked into a magic proof classroom at Cloud Tower."
"And we still don't know how that happened." Ediltrude said with a shake of her head as she sat calmly beside Griselda.
"Over at Alfea and Red Fountain classes ceased to exist, and parties in the dorm ensued, leaving the poor winx to try and clean up after their fellow students.
Bloom had then come to the aid of the small dysfunctional family of Professors. Unfortunately DuFour, Griselda, Griffin, Palladium and Saladin had all been bitten and changed before Bloom managed to get there."
"I'm sorry. I should have gotten there sooner." Bloom said frowning, she still blamed herself for not being able to keep them from being turned.
"It's alright Ms. Bloom. It wasn't your fault, and none of us blame you. Do we?" Faragonda asked looking at the other teachers as she placed a comforting hand on Blooms arm. A chorus of 'No's and 'Of course not' and a double 'Hell no' from the twins rang out at this.
"They had struggled with themselves not to hurt the rest of their family, which the vampire had found highly amusing."
"Bastard." DuFour, surprisingly, growled her eyes flashing red briefly while the others nodded in agreement.
"He stood laughing as the normally gentle DuFour had to be restrained by the rest of the newly turned vampires, who were also struggling; that was until Bloom had saw and blasted him with a fireball."
"I'm still sorry about that. Your blood just smelt soooo good." DuFour said grinning sheepishly at the rest of her family who all grinned back at her.
"I'm surprised I didn't need to be restrained too. Ediltrude's blood smelt delicious." Griselda said causing Ediltrude to grin wider and whisper something in her ear that made Griselda blush bright red.
"Shut up!" Griselda hissed smacking the taller woman upside the back of her head, much to the other teachers amusement.
"The angry red head had blasted him through the wall before hitting him again and knocking him back over."
"You knocked him through a wall five times within three minutes...which is still pretty awesome no matter how you look at it." Zarathustra said causing the other teachers to nod in agreement while Bloom blushed as red as her hair.
"The Professors, although grateful to see their student worried for her safety as the humans were already tied up, and could therefore not help their student, whilst the vampires had not wanted to get closer to her in fear of hurting her."
"And you had no idea how hard it was to stay away from her. Her blood was like nothing I ever smelt before." Palladium said causing the other Vampires to nod in agreement.
"Bloom had fought bravely and viciously, making the Professors feel very proud and surprised that she could control her magic so well."
"I found it especially impressive, not to mention hilarious, when she shot a fire blast at him that he dodged only for it to come back around and hit him right in the backside." Griffin said with a snicker, causing Bloom to grin slightly while the other teachers chuckled in rememberance and the students looked at Bloom shocked.
"They had also felt very touched at the loyalty she had showed, and the care she had demonstrated towards them."
"I'll say. I never thought I'd see the day where a fairy student was loyal too and cared about witch teachers." Ediltrude said shaking her head in bemusement while Bloom blushed slightly.
"Of course I'm loyal and care. You guys are part of my family and I never betray family." Bloom said softly, ducking her head shyly when the other teachers turned and smiled at her.
"Finally Bloom managed to knock the vampire out"
"I think I almost broke a rib trying not to laugh at how she did it too. That was pure comedy right there." Avalon said causing the others to nod in agreement, all of them grinning.
"True. I never thought a vampire would fall for the 'your shoelaces came untied during the fight' trick." Griselda said shaking her head and causing the students to blink...that was a new one.
"You and me both Griselda, and I never thought I'd see the day where an old vampire got knocked out thanks to a flaming haymaker to the head from a scrawny slip of a girl." DuFour said poking Bloom's side and causing the red head to giggle slightly as she squirmed away from DuFour's pokes. The students hit the ground at this, how strong was Bloom in that case?
"and rushed to untie her Professors. Bloom had been unfazed by the red eyes of her now vampire Professors, treating them exactly the same."
"And you have no idea how much that meant to us Bloom." DuFour said smiling at her pranking partner as she reached over and tickled Blooms side, causing the girl to jump and giggle again.
"Why were you so unfazed by our eyes anyways? Not that I'm complaining of course." Saladin asked looking up from the book to the red head who grinned at him.
"You'd be surprised how often I or one of my friends back on Earth had cosplayed as a character with red eyes. I'm so used to seeing them thanks to cosplaying that I don't even bat an eye at it anymore." Bloom said slightly sheepishly while the teachers and other students looked confused.
"What's cosplay?" Palladium asked curiously, causing Bloom to look at him shocked for a moment before getting a wide mischevious grin that did not bode well.
"I'll explain it later. I might even drag you all out to a cosplay convention next time one happens on Earth." Bloom said her eyes glinting with amusement and mischeif as she motioned for Saladin to keep reading, which he did after looking at her for a minute and shrugging.
"She used her magic to heal the human Professors and ordered the vampires to grab things such as bandages, plasters, and antiseptic ointment. This greatly amused Zarathusta, Ediltrude and Griffin."
"Of course it did! It's not often a student orders a teacher to do anything, let alone a human earth raised student ordering a magical vampire teacher!" Griffin said with a snicker, the two sisters nodding in agreement with her.
"After this they had tried to sneak out to the teleporting point, however the hallway leading to it was covered in darkness and the Professors Bloom scream as her hand was torn from Faragonda's."
"I swear my blood froze when I heard that." Faragonda said causing the other teachers to nod.
"Mine certainly felt like it...again." Griffin said dryly causing the other vampires to snort slightly, if they had had blood at that moment it definitely would have froze again.
"The vampires being the only one's who could see tried to pry the older and therefore stronger vampire from their student. They killed him, however it was too late, and Bloom had begun the change."
"Sorry about that Bloom." DuFour said with a wince while the other vampire teachers apologized as well.
"If I had ripped off his head earlier then you would still be human Bloom." Griselda said looking a bit sad at not having been able to protect her student.
"It's alright. I don't mind being a vampire. Look at it this way. The next 'big bad' threat to the universe will get a nasty surprise when he tries to attack Magix." Bloom said with a grin while everyone stared at her.
"Huh?" Musa asked eloquently causing Bloom to snicker slightly.
"Look at it like this. First there was the Trix and Army of Decay, then Darkar, then Valtor, next were the Wizards of the Black Circle although they mainly attacked Earth, then there was Tritannus, then Silena and the Trix...see where I'm going with this yet? Most of them attacked either Magix and the magical universe in general, or the schools and me specifically...so when the next threat pops up they won't expect a vampire fairy...or vampire teachers." Bloom said counting the villains off of her fingers and causing everyone to blink...now that they thought about it...she had a point.
"Greatest prank ever. Lure the villains into a false sense of victory then kick their butts." DuFour said with a snicker as she high fived Bloom.
"They had carried the young girl and Faragonda teleported everyone to Alfea. The family had moved Bloom in with them at Alfea."
"Course we did. She's family too." Griselda said smiling up at Bloom who smiled back.
"Yeah I'm the annoying little sister that locks you into closets and cupboards." Bloom teased, causing Griselda to blush while the other teachers merely laughed.
"They had been surprised at how well she had adapted to her new life, making it easier for the others to adjust to."
"Bloom's always been quite adaptable now that I think about it." Palladium said causing the others to nod. Bloom had gone from simple Earth girl, to magical fairy student, to superhero, to leader, and to vampire. Anyone who did that had to be adaptable.
"Instead of taking classes with the other students she took private classes with people she had come to consider her family."
"And they are AWESOME! Especially that time Palladium was teaching me how to use a sword and I cut a good bit of his hair off on accident!" Bloom said causing the other teachers to burst out laughing, that had been hilarious to see and so had Palladiums reaction.
"You probably only need private classes cause you suck at magic." Stella sneered at her one time friend who frowned at her while the teachers stopped laughing and glared at the blond.
"The lessons were made specifically to challenge her as she was way above others her age."
"Neh!" Bloom said sticking her tongue out at Stella who looked shocked and angry at that while the teachers snickered, and so did more than a few students.
"They had not seen such talent in many years."
Saladin stopped reading at this point to snicker at something in the book.
"Oh this will be good." Saladin said grinning as he looked up at Faragonda while reading the next bit.
"Faragonda had been the one most effected by getting closer. In doing so she had begun to feel feelings that she never thought she would."
"Oh no." Faragonda said sinking down into her seat as she began blushing brilliantly while Bloom looked at her curiously and the other teachers snickered.
"She had given up on the idea of romance. However the others had told her to tell Bloom."
There it was. The two sentances that caused Bloom to look suprised but not unhappy while the students were shocked silent as everyone stared at the blushing white haired woman.
