This came little late though I didn't do any promises so how could it come late. I had to watch many episodes of the Winx Club. Trix are still probably trying to find the dragon flame and do not know who wields it. Because in the episode Betrayed they realized it was Bloom because she fought against them. Also not only Trix will be against Bloom but so will Darkar. Also I do not think that Brandom and Sky would get caught changing their identities without Bloom. So Brandom will be Sky and Sky will be Brandom when the other members of Winx Club are interacting. Though they aren't the other members they are the Winx Club. Layla is also going to be there I have watched some episodes of season 2 but I will have to see whether or not she will join the Winx Club without Bloom being there and all previous events not happening.
Finding Cloud tower wasn't hard at all. I just asked someone for directions and then started my long walk there. It took some time but eventually I reached Cloud tower by foot. By the time I arrived there the school assembly was just beginning so I was not late.
We were told the basics and the rules there. Surprisingly Cloud tower doesn't have a similar rule to Alphea when it comes to avoiding fairies. In fact there was no mention at all of avoiding fairies. Not that a rule would even need to be added as we would most likely avoid each other anyway.
The speeches sounded like they were all written by Griselda. But while they sounded like that they didn't have that have discipline vibe. Not that I expected anything different from Cloud Tower anyway. We were then shown around the school to where the different classes, the Amphitheater, the cafeteria and all of the other places were.
I noticed one thing about the other freshmen that they didn't wear nearly as much black or goth like outfits like I expected them to. It seems that I have been going by the stereotypes of what a witch looks like and because of that I look out of place.
We were then told where our rooms would be but before I could get to there I was stopped by the Headmistress Griffin. "Bloom was it?" She asks me and I nod to her in return. "Follow me into my office. We have things to discuss." She said and began to walk toward her office and I followed her.
Before we reached her office I thought all sorts of things why she would want me to go there. Is it to just help me get settled here? Perhaps she is going to tell me how screwed I am going to be?
We step into her office. It was definitely something that I would expect to be a typical witches office. With the dark atmosphere, the dark colors of the walls, the crystal ball and the furniture overall. "Sit down." She commanded as she sat down on her own chair.
"So Bloom do you have any idea why you are here?" She asked me. To that I just shook my head. "You are here because of your special... situation." Should have expected that one. After all why else she would only bring me to her office.
"What about it?" I ask her. "I'm here to simply give you advice. As Faragonda most likely told you already that you are not the first one in this kind of situation." I simply nodded at her to confirm her assumptions to be true.
The look on her face got even more serious than it normally was and she stood up. "The number one rule you should know is don't get caught. Don't tell anyone about the fact that you were thought to be a fairy, don't act too much like a fairy and don't be seen with your potential former friends." She said as she got uncomfortably close to me. "Do I make myself clear?" She asked me in a strict manner. "Y-yes Headmistress." I said to her.
"Good because do you know what happened to someone in the same situation three years ago?" She asked me and I just shook my head. "Some witches found out about her fairy roots and that she used to attend Alphea. She left Cloud Tower before the term ended." That didn't seem to be good. If people here find out that I went to Alphea just a year earlier, would that mean eventually things would get so bad that I, even I would quit?
Griffin then handed me a piece of paper. "There is your schedule and it also says where your room is and who your roommates are." I looked at the paper and it read that my roommates were Mirta and Lucy. It seems that in Cloud Tower the rooms are made for 3 people instead of 2.
"I chose these two specifically for you. From what I saw last year Mirta is probably the most fairy friendly witch in this whole school so if your little secret ever gets discovered she most likely won't abandon you. I can't be so sure about Lucy though." She explained to me. "Now you can leave I have work to do." She said as she began signing some papers.
I went for the door and was just about to leave her office when she spoke up again. "One final advice change your clothing because right now you look like a fairy pretending to be a witch."
"I figured that out already." I replied and left her office.
Cloud tower was quite a maze to be honest. Despite being shown around I still couldn't wrap my head around the layout of the building. Eventually I did find the right room. In the door there were 3 cards with names on them: Mirta, Lucy and Bloom.
So this is the room in which I'll hopefully spend the next 3 years of my life. It was weird to just switch going from Alphea to Cloud tower even though there was a year gap between going from Alphea to Cloud Tower.
I opened the door to find an empty room. I then saw the stairs which led upstairs which had 3 beds in them. There were two girls in there unpacking their stuff. First one was a pale girl who had dark red hair. She had grey eyes and had freckles on her face. She was dressed in a black vest in which underneath there was a white shirt with a pumpkin on it. She wore a black skirt which was held up by two belts. She looked like a witch but also a witch that could pass herself off as a fairy that just liked punk.
The other girl looked like a witch. In fact she could pass of as a witch from the storybooks if you just made her wear a stereotypical witch costume. She had dark green hair and her outfit consisted of a white tank top, green and purple miniskirt with a belt over green tights. She also had red fingerless gloves.
"So you are our new roommate?" The red headed one asks me. "Yes I am. My name is Bloom." I introduced myself to her. "And my name is Mirta and she over there is Lucy." She said as she was pointing at the dark green haired girl.
Mirta then points at the last bed of the row of three. "That one is yours. So you can unpack your stuff." The bed didn't seem to be nowhere near good as the one in Alphea. In fact the room certainly wasn't as good as the ones in Alphea. The whole place just seemed dull compared to the one in Alphea.
Not that it matters as I better get used to this room.
"So Bloom want to hangout with us later today? The classes won't start until 2 days." She asked me. I knew I needed to make some witch friends and this is a perfect way to start. "Sure. But I need to change first" I said with a smile.
"Your closet is there." Lucy points at the closet near the bed. Before I did change my outfit I unpacked my stuff using a simple spell. That simply got them out of the suitcase and I still needed to manually put them where I need the stuff to be. I can't do that advanced magic yet.
Once I had finally unpacked everything I began to change my clothes. Instead of going with all black or purple, I went with something that was natural for me. I was now wearing a white T-shirt with blue-green short sleeves, a blue miniskirt, dark blue stocking that almost covered my legs and white sneakers.
Mirta and Lucy were waiting downstairs. Once I got there it seemed that Mirta noticed my change. "I like this look better than the last one. Just looks more natural." She commented on it and I felt glad that I finally found the right costume.
"Personally I liked the one you wore before." Lucy said just before we left.
We managed to catch a bus that would take us to Magix. Mirta sat next to me while Lucy was sitting behind us. The bus was mainly filled with other witches from the Cloud Tower though there were other passengers inside as well.
"So are you excited for your first year?" I asked both Mirta and Lucy. To that Mirta just chuckled a bit while Lucy just rolled her eyes. "Bloom this isn't our first year silly. We just started our second year." She explained.
"Oh." I said as I remembered what Griffin said. 'From what I saw last year Mirta is probably the most fairy friendly with in this whole school.' The highlighted part should be last year.I feel a bit stupid now.
While I was briefly in Magix before I arrived to Cloud Tower it brings back that yearn of magic just looking at Magix again. After all it's been almost a year since I hung out with the Winx here.
Some of the passengers left off at this stop but Mirta and Lucy nor any of the witches did. It was actually the same stop that often me and the Winx would stop at but now I think I would like to avoid this place considering if the Winx ever saw me I would be screwed.
After few more stops both Mirta and Lucy got off the bus. I followed them until we reached a restaurant. It had that witchy atmosphere in it.
Looking around all of the customers were either witches or boys who were with witches. The waitress showed us the menu and luckily for me Pizza was in there. I ordered a pizza while Lucy and Mirta ordered their own thing.
"So Bloom what are your powers?" Mirta asked me while we waited. "I'm not 100% sure but I think it has something to do with fire." I answered her truthfully. Are my powers just simply fire or is there more to it?
I then asked her about their powers. "My powers are that of illusions while Lucy's over there are that of insects." Mirta explained to me.
"How long have you and Lucy known each other?" I ask them and they look at each other for a minute before Mirta turns to look at me. "We have known each other since childhood." She simply replied.
We chatted about other things to pass time while we waited for our orders to be completed. Stuff like what I'm supposed to expect from the coming school year, few rumors and even some stuff about boys.
"So Bloom." Lucy spoke up which was quite a surprise considering that it was mainly Mirta who was leading the conversation. "Where are you from?" She asks me just as the waitress brings our foods.
Should I answer her truthfully? Then again I don't even remember other places here than Solaria. No there is simply no way I can pretend to be from somewhere else. "Earth I simply answered."
Mirta looked surprised. "Earth are you serious?" She asked me with a look of surprise in her face. "Is is really that big of a deal?" I asked her because of her reaction.
"Earth has no magic, which means it's a big deal that you were born there." She said but judging by Lucy's expression. She didn't seem to think the same way as Mirta. "It's rare but I don't get why Mirta is making it more than it is. You are still just a regular witch Earth or not."
After our discussion about where I was born. We ate our food while we talked about different topics. Whether it was which teacher were ok and which ones will make studying living hell or the food from the cafeteria and what books they would recommend for studying (I luckily even owned few of them.)
We went back to the bus and were on our way to the Cloud Tower. We didn't speak a lot during the journey but during the last few stops Mirta finally breaks the silence.
"You know Bloom I had fun tonight and I know we aren't go to see each other so often because we are in different years. But if you'd like to off course could we be friends?" She asked me. I couldn't have said yes fast enough.
Mirta then turned and looked at Lucy. "What about you? Can you and Bloom be friends?" She asked her and she looked a bit uncertain which wasn't something I liked. However despite the fact that they have known each other since childhood there seemed to be some tension between them. Or am I just imagining the whole thing? Whatever is the reason it's not my business at this point.
"I guess we can be.. friends." Lucy answered and while it wasn't as enthusiastic answer as I hoped for I was still glad. While I might have lost 4 friends when I needed to leave Alphea I just gained 2. It's been a good day and I hope that all of the other days would be like this one.
The bus eventually stops and we leave it to enter what would be the place I call school for the next 3 years.
We then went to our room brushed our teeth and switched to our pajamas. I then went and laid on my bed as I began to imagine what the future would hold for me here.
"Goodnight." Mirta tells us before she turns the lights off.
FINALLY! How long has it been let me check... 1 year and 9 months since I last updated this story. That took too long. But now I finally have managed to make a chapter for this one and I hope you like it. My interest in Winx Club for some reason has peaked recently so I probably should write these chapters for as long as I can before I lose my interest and then it'll take another year and 9 months before I upload anything. It's kind of hard to believe that I started this story in 2017. Damn that year feels forever ago I mean that was the year I started to go to my current school and this year is the final year in the said school. Anyway I have done something really helpful for this story. I pretty much have figured out the plot for this story completely. And I'm glad it took this long because I really like how the plot turned out and I don't think it would have turned out like that had it been made 1 year and 9 months ago. So I wrote this in 1:57am in 18th of February 2020. You should see this in Saturday or Sunday which is in 22nd or 23rd of this month. By that point I might have written an another chapter which would then be uploaded a week after this.
This AN is getting too long so hopefully you liked this chapter and
Firewyrm2 (c3): I want that this story would be quite accurate to cannon as possible so there is no way I'm going to put Bloom in the same room as Roxy (who I think is a fairy don't know haven't watched s4) and Selena. I did put her in the same room as Mirta and Lucy despite originally wanting to put her with OC's (glad I waited that 1 year and 9 months to get back into my senses.) And yeah as you can see there might be a very minor BloomxSky in this story.
Hivedragon (c3): Good to see you considering you are still reviewing this story. Personally I love Bloom is a witch stories. I have hard time deciding which ones I like more. These kinds of stories or dark Bloom stories. Also it's funny to see these Mirta and Lucy reviews when back then I wanted to put Bloom in a room with OC first year witches.
Luiz4200 (c2): Yeah I guess it made it worse or maybe it didn't. We'll see that much later in the story.
1cdm (c3): I know I sent you a pm back then that I was. Well it might have taken over a year since I sent you that PM but as you can see I'm still continuing this story.
SernaJ (c3): Well glad to hear you got invested to this story. Hopefully you find out one day that I'm still continuing this. And yeah I am still annoyed at how I can't find more dark Bloom, witch Bloom or fairy Trix stories (though couragix heart is out and I that one uses the trix fiary concept somewhat). But you still find those romance fanfictions and glad to see that I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
This chapter has been edited. All mentions of fashion magazines have been removed because it doesn't make sense for the plot. And Bloom's outfit has been changed to be her casual dance outfit (season 1) with the leg warmers replaced by the dark blue stockings.
Viva out
