"Come on girls!" Dowling jogged in front of us to the best of her abilities in heels.

I had ran into Musa at the suite while Terra and Aisha were talking to Dowling.

The five of us were now running through the old cemetery.

We reached a old wooden door that was sat in a small stone building.

The door was open showing what looked like a large warehouse that definitely shouldn't be there.

Dowling ran in while we waited outside.

"What is going on?" I asked, very confused.

"Stella gave Bloom her gateway ring so she could go back to the First World for a bit, but the ring only works outside of the Barrier and we think Bloom is in trouble." Aisha explained.

As she finished a loud growling echoed round the building beyond the door.

"That's a Burned One." I told them, recognising the distinct growl.

Bloom came sprinting out the door, coming to a stop when she saw us.

She turned to look back at the door but it slammed shut, with Dowling and the Burned One inside.

"Are you okay?" Aisha asked making Bloom spin round to look at us.

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I think so. What the hell was that thing?" Bloom asked, trying to catch her breath.

"I'm pretty sure it's called a Burned One." Terra answered.

"Huh? Wait. Where...where's Stella?" Bloom noticed the missing roommate.

"She's at school. Why?" I replied.

"That thing just took her ring." Bloom panted.

We all knew that wasn't a good thing.

Not only is that bad as it could mean the creature could travel to pretty much anywhere but Stella will also be extremely pissed.

"Come on." I wrapped my arm around Bloom's shoulder as we all started to walk back to school.

Bloom was shaking, obviously terrified.

"It's okay. You're okay." I told her, as her arm went round my shoulders.

The whole way back we were all trying to comfort Bloom.

Terra kept trying to talk to me as well but I just ignored her.

After we had gotten back the girls headed back to the suite while I went to find Riven.

I walked into the Specialists Hall and immediately walked into someone.

"Shit sorry." I apologised.

"No need to apologise." Riven replied as I realised it was him.

"Well hello there." I smiled at him.

"You coming?" Riven asked as he walked over to the door.

I nodded, jogging slightly so I could walk next to him.

He led me to the training area and onto one of the platforms that sat above the pond.

We both sat with our legs over the side.

I started humming while swinging my legs.

I felt Riven watching me so I turned to look at him.

"Can I help you?" I laughed.

"I don't know, can you?" Riven replied with a smirk.

We both leaned in, Riven connecting our lips.

Despite only knowing him for a day, and receiving warnings from Terra, it felt right.

I smiled into the kiss then pulled away, standing up.

"What are you doing?" Riven asked as I walked into the middle of the training platform.

"Come on." I motioned for him to join me.

He sighed before standing up and joining me.

I put my arms up in a fighting position making him chuckle.

"Really?" He looked me up and down.

"Yup." I nodded making him sigh before copying my stance.

We started sparring both of us dodging the others attack.

The more we sparred the more Riven forced me back until my foot slipped off the edge.

I plummeted into the freezing cold pond.

It took me a second to compose myself before I swam back to the surface.

"That was your fault." Riven told me as he held his hand out for me.

I slipped my hand into his then smirked.

With one pull he fell into the water with me.

"You're gonna regret that." Riven told me after he came back up.

"Oh yeah?" I laughed, splashing him with water.

He laughed before swimming closer to me, wrapping his arms round my waist.

I placed my hands on his shoulders to help keep me afloat.

Our lips connected again, butterflies filling my stomach.

We both started to sink making us pull apart.

Riven swam over to the side and climbed out, with me following his actions.

He took my hand and led me back towards the Specialist Hall.
