Chapter 13 - The Firstworld

Blooms POV
Soon after we arrived we found a spot to set up camp and the moon started to rise. All of the girls plus Sam and Helia started to head to their wooden dens to go to bed, which we were considerably proud of making may I say, which left me and Dowling sitting on the bed of leaves and Sky making the fire in the centre of the camp. When the fire was eventually lit, Sky looked up and walked over to kiss me goodnight. His lips touching mine were one of the few things that gave me peace in this world. The rest of the few things also being Sky.
"I'll leave you two to chat." He said with a smile and walked off. There were a few moments of awkward silence and then I allowed myself to think. Allowed all my emotions to flood in with questions that I needed answers to. I learned last year that Dowling was the only one who could give them to me, Id always felt a connection to her that I could never understand myself.
"I know you have alot of questions."
She said, reading my mind. I looked up at her fragile face lit with the fire before us. She took a pause and began to speak again.
"The army, the dragon... It's hard to explain. All I can say is, Rosalind was the leader of that army. Whatever she told you about your ancestors wanting power was wrong, Bloom. She was the one who wanted power. The girl, the one who took the power. She did it purely because she knew in the wrong hands it would be dangerous, she knew Rosalind wanted it." 
She took another pause and what she said sunk in. Well at least now I knew my family wasent a bunch of psychos.
"Your parents Bloom... The witches didn't kill them, Rosalind did. She made a deal with the witches for them to stash you away for her. They broke that deal... Which lead to us invading Aster Dell. A day which I will regret for the rest of my life."
Rosalind... She had always said she would never lie to me, she'd keep me and my friends safe. But she did lie. And she certainly wasent keeping anyone safe. The sudden urge for revenge hit me and my eyes turned a deep red. I then felt the hand of Dowling touch my knee and I slowly calmed.
"But they were witches... Bad people." I stated.
"Yes, but they were still people. They wernt all blood thirsty, some were children. Thats what Rosalind didn't take into account that day."
I looked at the floor and rage filled me. Why would anyone be so cruel as to kill the only real family that I possibly had left...
"I know your angry... Get some rest, I promise this will be resolved Bloom." Without hesitation I then pulled her into a hug, realizing that Dowling was as much my family as the rest of those in the camp were. I tried to take my mind off of Rosalind, the only thing that came from that was hurt, and pain and revenge. Much like what that dragon felt... Which is definately not what I wanted to feel.
"Thank you... For everything." I felt the corners of her lips rise into a smile and a little whisper of 'goodnight' come from her. I got up and made my way to me and Sky's den to find him half asleep. I laid next to him and felt his arm move to around my waist and I slowly began to sleep. Everything was quiet... For now.

Sky's POV
It was a few hours before I felt Bloom lift my arm carefully off of her and the russle of leaves leading away from the camp. I opened my eyes to see an amazing sunrise which you could just make out through the crack of the trees. I got out of the den to take a better look, you didn't get things like this in the Otherworld. After a few minutes to appreciate the sun I started to track Blooms footprints which lead to a big green field which gave the full view of the pink-purple sunrise. Bloom, sitting with her knees up was right in the centre among the open space. Walking up to her I noticed the energy was different... She was calm.
"You seem better today." I said sitting beside her. She looked towards me, edges of her mouth upturned.
"Yeah... It helps being home I think." It looked like she was about to say 'but' but instead paused.
"But?..."
"But. I mean, we can't just stay in the woods forever. We have to DO something... Those kids in Alfea Sky, they were under as much pressure as we were... And for all we know Rosalind and Andreas could be preparing them for a war." She was right, we didn't have a plan. And now Rosalind knew Dowling escaped she would be thinking up something.
"Well, your right. But we need to find our feet, if we went to attack Rosalind now she'd beat us in a heartbeat." I then remembered, her parents...
"We could go to Vanessa and Mike, they'd let us stay." Bloom then gave me a look, which I laughed at slightly.
"You think my parents are gonna want 10 more people staying in their house for god knows how long?" She also then laughed under her breath.
"I still think it's worth a shot..." My smile then unravelled when I looked back to the camp. There was an emptyness, everyone was here... Accept Silva.
"We'll find him Sky. It's only a matter-" My emotions took over me. Bloom was the only person I could be vulnerable around.
"What if he's already dead Bloom? My Dad... That's something that he would do." I felt Blooms comforting hand over my shoulder and her lips kiss my cheek. Her forehead then lent against my head.
"I know- but you have to hope don't you? He might have escaped and be on the run right now... Just, give it time." I nodded and whipped my tears away to smile. I appreciated her so much.
"At least I still have you." Just before we were about to have a moment, Terras footsteps approached.
"Sorry... I- um, Dowlings up and wants you to take us to the nearest town Bloom... She said our clothes would look a bit weird here?" Damn... This place really was different. Bloom chuckled.
"Well, they wouldn't look weird, but you could probably see 'fairy' written all over it from a mile away." Bloom then got up to join Terra in laughter as I followed behind them. As we reached the camp everyone was up, Sam looking much better.

1 hours later - Stellas POV
"I thought when you said the clothes here were nice, you meant- nice! I mean come on... Look at this!" I was holding a pair of jeans with a pink and magenta pattern on it, and to top it all off it was £50! Bloom said our clothes were weird but these... These were a disgrace.
"They're not that bad Stel, your the only one who hasent got anything yet... And your still looking at those jeans saying how horrible they are!" Aisha must have said that a bit to loudly due to the fact the shop keeper gave me a soul burning stare that made me run with sweat. There must be SOMETHING in here which still makes me feel like a princess... I turned to look around the shop, and my eyes landed on a pastel yellow top and skirt with laces of string connecting the two. Finally! Walking/Running over I took it immediately without looking at the price to buy, in the corner of my eye looking at Helia and Flora looking very relieved I finally decided on something.
"There you go... I'm glad that something in my shop came to your liking." The shop keeper said in the most passive aggressive way... So she did hear Aisha then.
"I- um, yes thank you." With that we all left the shop, clothes in hand from various places we tried for everyone. I realised if Brandon were here, he'd be laughing at the amount of time I took. We would find him again... I hope.
"I don't know about you guys... But I don't really wanna change into these clothes on the street. Sky?" Helia said, trying to get reassurance.
"True... I don't think anyone does. And we need to find somewhere for Sam to rest for a bit. Miss Dowling?" Everyone looked at Dowling... And Dowling was looking at Bloom. It looked as if they were somehow communicating with their eyes.
"I know a place." Bloom said looking down... She definately knew a place, but whether she wanted to go there or not was questionable. Sky rubbed a hand on her back and I made out a tiny whisper in her ear from him 'it'll be fine'.

Blooms POV
Everything was rushing through my head as we got closer and closer to the house. My parents house. It was the only place we could go, but it didn't mean I wanted to. How was I meant to explain Sky? They didn't know about him... And then I haven't called them in ages. Oh god. My mum was definately going to have a word. I felt Musas hand on my shoulder as she joined me at the front of the group, everyone else talking amongst themselves.
"Heya... I could feel you from a mile away. You ok?" Ever since Musas opened up we've been close, she was always there to talk to.
"Yeah I just... My parents don't know who Sky, Sam or Helia is, they probably will have alot of questions for why I'm suddenly inviting 10 people to the house." She laughed slightly under her breath.
"They know who you are now. And if they believed you were a fairy, they'll believe the real reason we're coming here for... And you get to catch up with your mum." She gave me a half smile and I returned one while giving her a quick hug. And then I stopped. We were here. The pale sage green glass door frame bringing back memories. I was only here a few weeks ago but it felt like years. An outline of my mother came to the door and opened it with a confused face until she met eyes with me.
"Bloom?" I sort of smiled as she brought me into a hug.
"You haven't called... I thought something was wrong!" The footsteps of my dad then came rushing to the door aswell, laying eyes on everyone behind me.
"Hello." Then hugging me as soon as my mum let go. Sky came and stood next to me, putting his hand out to shake my dad's... Who looked very confused.
"Nice to meet you Mr Peters." I chuckled when I looked at Sky trying to make a food first impression.
"Um... So who are these four?" My mum said looking at Helia, Sky, Sam and Dowling.
"Oh... Well this is Dowling, my head- previous headmistress, Sam's one of our friends. Helias a new student this year and-" I looked at Sky. Do I say it and later have a bombard of questions or leave it? I realised I haven't ever talked to my mum about boys... Screw it, it might be fun.
"This is Sky... He's- he's my boyfriend." I said smiling straight at him. Surprisingly, my mum actually looked happy, like really happy. She then looked at Sam who was feeling around his wounds which hasent been bandaged in a while.
"You ok sweetie? That doesn't look to great." Musa let Sam put an arm around her as she tried to use her magic to lower the pain.
"It's ok... I've gotten alot better." Sam said, trying to pull off the 'Im fine' act but failing.
"Well it's getting cold out there... Better get you all inside. I don't see any suitcases?"
As we all entered Flora replied.
"It was a bit of a rush..." And now we had to explain the whole story to them... Again.

Next chapter coming soon! It will be a little more exciting than this one ahaha. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed it <3
