Sick Bloom!

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)
"Why are there three Senior witches tied up and dressed up like a Christmas present in here?" Griselda asked raising an eyebrow at the twins who grinned at her. Icy, Stormy, and Darcy were trussed up like Thanksgiving turkeys with bright red bows around each of their necks in the middle of the Medical Wing.
"Hi Grissy! These three were trying to attack the sick freshman over there and we thought we'd teach them a lesson about it." Ediltrude said hugging the brown haired woman real quick before dancing out of the way of a hex.
"Don't call me that!" Griselda snarled almost immediately after the mention of the 'infernal nickname from hell' as she often called it.
"Keep…the…noise…down…to a …dull roar…please…ya…grizzly bear…" Bloom managed to force out with a weak snicker, causing Griselda to look at her in disbelief while the twins busted out laughing.
"Grizzly Bear?! That's genius! How did we never think of that?!" Ediltrude asked nearly dying of laughter.
"Aw hell I like this fairy! Grizzly bear, that's awesome!" Zarathustra said whooping and cackling at the new nickname for her friend.
"…dull…roar…please…" Bloom groaned again causing the two to cover each other's mouths sheepishly.
"Sorry." The two said softly through each other's hands.
"…Twin…Clowns…from…hell…" Bloom groaned going back into her uneasy illness induced delusional sleep. At this Griselda gave a small snort while the twins looked at the red head in disbelief.
"I'm so spreading that title to the others." Griselda muttered, causing the twins to look at each other and shrug their shoulders.
"Not the worst we've been called. And besides-" Ediltrude began.
"It suits us and-" Zarathustra said that part.
"We kinda like it!" The two chorused in unison. The two were promptly hit in the head with a metal tray that had been thrown at them, causing them to hit the ground cursing and trying to get untangled.
"God Damnitt! What's a girl gotta do to get some sleep around here?" Bloom asked glaring as she forced herself up into sitting position to glare at the room in general and the twins in particular. Her face was flushed with fever and she was obviously tired and not feeling well…but boy did she look pissed.
"Sorry." The two stage whispered sheepishly as they stood up and dusted themselves off while Griselda fretted over Bloom.
"Ugh. I feel like crap but I'm not going to be able to sleep with clowns running around screaming everywhere." Bloom said groaning as she glared slightly at the twins…before blinking when she caught sight of the Trix tied up on the floor.
"And I'm guessing that I'm now hallucinating, or else there are three pain in the neck senior witches tied up like Christmas presents in here." Bloom said blinking at the witches who just glared at her.
"Happy birthday!" The twins crowed grinning widely.
"My birthday's not for another two days." Bloom pointed out obviously confused and causing the teachers to look at each other before the twins faces suddenly met their palms.
"Darn it!" Ediltrude said pouting.
"I told you we should have asked Zelda when the girls birthday is." Zarathustra said glaring at her sister.
"Yeah yeah rub it in!" Ediltrude said rolling her eyes and shoving her sister slightly. This resulted in an all-out shove fest between the two sisters that made Bloom laugh slightly, until she began coughing harshly again. Griselda immediately began to force Bloom back into a resting position, Ediltrude ran for a glass of water, and Zarathustra rushed over to rub soothing circles in the girls back until the fit subsided while the three seniors merely stared on.
All three of the seniors were shocked and disgusted when the girl coughed up a good sized glob of blood and groaned slightly.
"Damn do I hate getting sick." Bloom muttered while collapsing back against the headboard of her bed and breathing raggedly.
"I bet." Ediltrude said with a small weak smile. She didn't know the girl was sick enough to cough up blood. That put everything in a whole new light and world of 'oh shit' for the twin witches. They had to tell Griffin about this immediately.
"This seems eerily familiar." Zarathustra said softly as she stared at the sick girl sadly and in understanding, her empathy powers going full force around the poor girl.
"That's right! You two were there too." Griselda said her head whipping around so she could look at the two sisters hopefully.
"There for what? You're wedding? Your sister in laws birth? The fight for Sparx? The prank on our senior Prom?" Ediltrude rattled off ticking them off of her fingers confused.
"Before all of that, I know you were there for those you were the ones to prank the Senior Prom for heavens sake! Remember our freshman year?" Griselda asked rolling her eyes at the two.
"Of course. That was-"
"The year you got really-"
"Sick and nearly-"
"Kicked the bucket!"
"We helped watch-"
"Over you until-"
"Mirelda and-"
"Your lovely-"
"Wifey found-"
"A cure and-"
"Saved your ass."
"That was also-"
"The year you two-"
"Started dating when-"
"We accidentally told-"
"You how the guardian-"
"Of the cure looked-"
"For someone who-"
"Feels pure love-"
"Towards the sick-"
"Person!" The twins said taking turns on who was speaking and causing the Trix to move their heads back and forth to watch each twin as they spoke.
"Pure love? That was the requirement for the Guardian to give someone the cure?" Griselda asked causing a newly arrived Faragonda to snicker slightly.
"Of course!"
"Mirelda told us-"
"Herself about how-"
"She couldn't enter the cave-"
"Thanks to the guardian-"
"Who said that while-"
"Mirelda loved you-"
"As a sister like-"
"We do he searches-"
"For someone who-"
"Loves the sick person-"
"As a lover who'd be-"
"Loyal to their loved one-"
"Above and-"
"Beyond anyone else!" The twins said looking at their friend confused and causing Faragonda to smirk slightly.
"Well Griselda better call DuFour and the girls with the news of what emotion the guardian looks for in a person." Faragonda said snickering while Griselda looked torn between happy and rage.
"She has-"
"The same-"
"Illness Zelda-"
"Had?" The twins asked alarmed, that would explain a lot and make the Trix's punishment that much worse.
"Yes and according to Daphne, who possessed Bloom's body to send the girls on the right path to getting the cure, two of the 'team' will qualify to get the cure. That means that two of the girls trying to save Miss Bloom love her!" Faragonda said grinning slightly while the Twins looked surprised but nodded.
"Figures Daph-"
"Would find-"
"A way to-"
"Talk with Zelda-"
"Even though she's-"
"Only a Nymph-"
"Spirit nowadays!" The twins said smirking at Griselda who glared at them but stood up from the seat, giving Bloom a worried look, before turning and walking from the room to call the search team.
Faragonda then turned towards the Trix and raised an eyebrow before looking at the Twins and shaking her head in amusement. Her next dryly stated words caused the Trix's eyes to widen in horror while the Twins looked shocked before grinning wickedly at the Trix. Those three were so freaking SCREWED!
"And of course Griffy would send you two menaces to protect and watch after her goddaughter."
