(Bloom POV)
It feels like it's been hours sitting her in the dungeon of the Solarian palace. Its brings back uncomfortable memories and I just want them to stop. Why do they think I would destroy a museum?. It's not even the Shades style ,I admit.
Seconds turn into minutes and they turn into hours. The old me would have tried to find an escape route, but I have done nothing wrong. And if I do noting lethal , they should realize that.
These handcuffs grazes my wrists and I feel like I am in a to familiar nightmare. I won't sleep easy for a while now. There's banging on the bars of my cell and that's same guard who slapped me, and left a little graze, walks through the gate.
"Up, you get" he orders almost mocking me. He pulls me up from my sad excuse of a seat and undoes my cuffs behind me back.
"Don't get any ideas, Hands in front" he barks and I stretch my arms out in front, sides of my wrists together.
We escorts me through the castle until we get to the grand ball room, white, yellow and gold. It's so bright and fresh in here we might as well have gone to heaven. The entire usual Magic council members are here. The Winx are in there royal attire and huddled in the right. The Specialists are there as well , I haven't seen them in a while. Also Faragonda, Saladin and Morgana(The new headmaster of Cloud Tower) stand in a row near to the other important members.
I look to my left and see the royals, Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. I see Erendor standing with his wife and Sky. When I see Sky and his face I slow down for a few seconds to stare and then get shoved roughly forward. I think Erendor noticed, unfortunately.
"Sit here" he shoves me onto a seat, it's just wooden no cuffs to the chairs or anything which is good. But it stirs something inside me, an overwhelming feeling of discomfort and anxiously I just want to get rid of. The way people stare at me doesn't help.
"Prncess Bloom of Sparks' I hear that familiar voice radiate through the room. Uther Neongia stands at his high podium before he gets slowly down from it. I hate this man, he might be our leader for this dimension, even though he says the whole council is , he is despicable to me. He was a good leader, but like most long lasting leaders, they can become corrupt.
He wears a long blue and white embellished robe this time, but still holds his twisted oak staff. When he finally is at my seat he has that same expression of disappointment, I only wish I was allowed to claw it off his face. I feel a tear of all these emotions slip down my cheek before composing myself then looking back up at the man.
"Do you know why you are here, why we are all here in that matter?" He says waving a hand to gesture to all the members.
"Well I would like to be informed" I say with a hint of anger.
"Do you think you would have got away with the fact you destroyed not only a historical building but over 10,000 historical art pieces and items in it" He says leaning uncomfortably close to my face and I pull back, with furrowed eyebrows.
"Hang on; you think I did that, you think I destroyed the museum" I say looking around at the stern faces." Well I didn't!"
"You history seems to me…" he clears is throat" Us, that you are capable of such things." He retorts.
"I stole things, not destroyed them, I was not proud of that person I was, and half the time it was someone else responsible for my actions, that's what the dragon fire did to my brain" I try to stay calm but begin to shake, with nerves and rage.
" It's not just that, Princess, the Museum was burnt to the ground. And it wasn't any ordinary fire, it was produced by magic, and the only one who possess fire power and enough of it to burn down a place like that, filled with magic…" he pauses after pacing back and forth, then halts and turns to face me." Would be you"
"I have nothing to do with this; I would never do that, ever." I scream out in frustration.
" Then who else possesses a power as strong as yours, Magic powers with the essence of fire is Ultra rare and has not been seen for years until you came."
"I am not responsible … And the only other person to possess fire like mine would be-" I stop yelling until I realize what I am about to say. I shake my head and think for a few seconds and I hear the muffle of people talking and Uther is getting very impatient.
"Who then?" he says smugly. That's when I look up at him with piercing eyes.
"Baltor" I hiss. The council goes crazy talking and some screaming about me being crazy. But if what they say is true, that its fire power like mine then it can only be Baltor, but I don't understand….
"Quiet" Uther yells and I think my ears bleed. Everyone one goes silent and my ears ring.
"If Princess Bloom, is saying that Baltor has returned, we need to take precautions, otherwise it is a lie she has told to bring us off her trail." Uther says loudly turning to speak to all of the Council.
"So we will have a vote, who believes that Bloom is guilty." Uther states first, and less than a second later, even for an old man his hand goes straight up. I also notice Erendors hand go up but Sky's doesn't, and Ernedor is obviously angered by this. Others have put their hands up.
"Innocent" Uther says while placing his hand back down. I am surprised to see most of the hands go up.
Uther noticeably grumbles to himself and realizes the majority. I look at the man who sentenced my grandfather to live in ice and I feel hatred towards him.
" Princesses Bloom, we are sorry for your …. Inconvenience of this event" He waves his hands over my cuffed wrists and the snap open ."You are free to leave."
I get up quiet abruptly which makes Uther stand back in a bit of a surprise. I change into my fairy form. My wings expand out and I smile and the ridicules look on Uthers face before bowing. I turn around in the centre of the room , shoulders back and staring straight ahead as I walk out to the large double doors of the ballroom. My long skirt, from my clothes change drags behind me and my bare feet don't make a noise as I walk out the doors.
When I walk to the edge of the palace grounds I create a portal to earth , realizing if I am right Blator is back, and I am terrified.
