Sick Bloom!

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)

DuFours eyes had turned blood red at the sight of the blood that was now coming up as she reached a slender finger down to her Blooms face and wiped up some of the blood on the girls chin. The students backed away disgusted and terrified when DuFour licked the blood off of her finger and gave a pleased purr.

"Her blood is delicious." DuFour said with a purr at the taste of the red heads blood while Griselda and Faragonda were eyeing her warily, would she attack Bloom in her downed state just to get to the girls blood?

"Let's get you to the hospital wing so that Ophelia can heal you, precious." DuFour said smiling down at Blooms out cold form as Ophelia ran every spell she could to stabilize the girls condition so that she could be moved.

"What's going on DuFour? Usually when you taste blood you go nuts until you get your fill of it and yet you didn't try to take any blood at all after tasting Blooms for a second." Griselda asked as Ophelia carefully Teleported herself and Bloom to the hospital wing with the teachers half a second behind her.

"I-I don't know. For some reason my vampire side only wanted a small sip of her blood, not a lot of it despite how tasty it is. Maybe it has something to do with why her blood smells so good." DuFour said looking confused herself as she realized what she had done and although her eyes were still red she wasn't trying to drink anymore blood from anybody or anything.

"This is indeed troubling for your vampire side to change so much in such a little amount of time. Can you explain exactly what your Vampire wants you to do right at this moment?" Faragonda asked walking over and looking at DuFour calculatingly since there was nothing they could do to help Ophelia with at the moment.

"Yes although it's really quite strange. For some reason my vampire side is yelling at me to turn her in order to save her. Other than that it just wants to be near Bloom." DuFour said after concentrating for a moment, usually she tried to lock away and ignore her vampire side not converse with it.

"I see and does it usually feel this way towards anyone?" Faragonda asked having a haunting suspicion of what was up with the red clad woman and wanting to know whether or not her theory was correct.

"Not to such a degree no, but it does want me to taste Ms. Flora's blood and stay near her as well. I assume it is because she shares a room with Bloom therefore their scents are almost intertwined although Blooms is much stronger and tends to cover Ms. Floras up somewhat." DuFour said causing Faragonda to give her a disbelieving look as the old woman massaged her forehead as if staving off a headache while Griselda looked just plain old confused and instead went to go sit by a temporarily stable Blooms bed.

"She's stable for the moment but I'm afraid I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with her. Bring her friends and roommate here they might be able to tell me something that'll give me a clue." Ophelia ordered Palladium when he worriedly asked how Bloom was, causing him to nod and rush from the room only to run smack dab into Flora and sending them both sprawling onto their butts.

"Got them. You okay Ms. Flora?" Palladium asked extending a hand to help the nature fairy up but Musa and Stella helped her up before he could even finish the words.

"I'm fine Professor Palladium. How is Bloom?" Flora asked immediately rushing to her friends' bedside with the other three on her heels.

"She's stable at the moment. Now I need you girls to tell me is there anything that could've happened lately, anything at all to make her even the slightest bit sick?" Griselda asked holding one of Blooms fragile hands and frowning at how cold the girls skin was.

"Ummm…the only thing I can think of is that run in with the witches our first day in Magix." Stella said after a moment of thought while the other girls nodded in agreement.

"What happened during that 'run in'?" DuFour asked worried immediately at the mention of witchs while Faragonda looked at her curiously, wondering how she would take what was happening to her.

"Well I don't know the full story, none of us do but Bloom but when we got there Bloom was frozen in a large slab of ice by the blue haired one, Icy." Flora said worriedly as she held Blooms other hand gently while Ophelia's head shot up.

"Frozen in a large slab of ice? For how long and how cold was it?" Ophelia questioned with narrowed eyes while the other three looked at her in confusion but answered anyways.

"According to my calculations the ice was approximately 12.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Confirmed time of her imprisonment in it is two minutes and forty two point three seconds. Estimated time is at least two minutes longer." Tecna answered looking at a screen that had popped up from her gloves while Ophelia paled drastically at this.

"Oh no no no no no. Please don't be what I think it is." Ophelia muttered to herself as she ran a more specific scan on Bloom, more importantly her lungs and heart.

"What is it Ophelia?" DuFour demanded worriedly when the nurse all but collapsed in on herself and began to cry at the sight of the results, Blooms whole chest area glowing a light red while the red was creeping towards her stomach now which was a light blue color.

"Ophelia…the way you're acting must mean that…" Griselda trailed off as she paled drastically and held Blooms hand tighter as tears began to work their way into her eyes. She had only seen Ophelia cry in front of the students once before and that had been when during a war where she was unable to save some of the students.

"Please no." Griselda choked out her throat constricting harshly and making it hard for her to breath, the girl was only a child innocent of magic and the nature it could take!

"Griselda what's wrong? What's the matter with Bloom?!" DuFour asked nearly in a panic at seeing a single salty tear fall from her long time friends' eyes. Griselda looked up and locked eyes with everyone there at the same time, no one knew how she did it and any thought of questioning that flew out their minds at Griseldas words while Ophelia was crying into Palladiums chest.

"Bloom…is dying."
