Short chapter unedited

After feeling much better I'm able to return to classes a couple of days later. Bloom seems off, staring off into space not really listening to the lecture. Leaning over to Terra I look at her whispering softly. "What's the matter with Bloom ?" I wonder while Terra looks at me shrugging her shoulders. "I'm not sure but she's been having nightmares about the burned ones." Terra replies while I worriedly look back over to her.

"Who died ?" I ask a couple hours later seeing a body being carried out. "Miss. Dowling secretary." Terra says before Miss. Dowling spots me and motions me over. "Can you follow me Lydia, I have some questions for you ?"

"I sense traces of magic where the body was but can't really pinpoint it. The only thing I do know is that it's electrified."

"So an air fairy ?" I reply while she nods and I look back over to the spot lifting my hands, the air begins to grow in energy causing my hair to begin lifting slightly. "Whoever it is they're powerful a class three or four." I say letting my hands fall. "What are we to do headmistress ?" I ponder looking back to her. "We're going to test every air fairy in this school until we get a hit, it's a student we know that for sure, the student must be stopped before he or she kills again. The queen of solaria is coming today do be prepared for her arrival, you're dismissed." Miss. Dowling says and I nod walking out before glancing one last time to the energy source. Walking with a quickness in my step I head back to my room in a blurred panic bumping into someone I quickly apologize trying to go past them but I get stopped. "What's the rush love ?" Riven questions grabbing my cheeks in his hands softly. "There's..there's a killer in the school." I whisper looking around seeing Beatrix down the hall before fellow classmates get in the way. When they walk past she's gone and the stirring feeling in my gut tells me she knows something I don't.

The queen arrived to Alfea and I sit fidgety in my seat while Riven grasps my hand causing me to stop biting my other hand in worry. Seeing the teachers using a power crystal to identify the trace of magic used to kill the secretary I watch them pass from the corner of my eyes and I feel every thought racing through my mind. Musa looks at me in question before I shut her out and she grasps her head in pain. I mumble I quickly apology before tuning out the whole of the queens speech. I'm awakened with claps and I look back at Miss. Dowling who subtly shakes her head no and I sigh facing the front again. Standing up I look around realizing whose been missing the whole assembly.

"Who am I ?" Bloom questions Beatrix while she looks back to her with a small smile. "We are the same Bloom, you and I from the same city, the one Dowling and the other teachers destroyed when Rosalind tried to stop them. They were hunting blood witches and were instructed to take them out but they ended up killing innocents, your parents, my parents. Rosalind found us, took us in then separated us." Beatrix says from behind Bloom while Bloom looks over the broken away and crumbled city that once was beautiful. "We should get back." Bloom says and Beatrix reluctantly agrees getting back in the stolen Solarian vehicle heading back towards the school.

Solarian guards stop them and Bloom goes to put up a fight but stops once she sees Beatrix get taken into custody. "What are you doing with her ?!" Bloom shouts in panicked question while Miss. Dowling looks at her. "They diminish her power she's to be taken into custody for questioning." She replies while Bloom can only watch the girl whose given any sort of answers get escorted away like a prisoner.

Bloom exits the car seeing her roommates with an even more upset Lydia. "What we're you doing with her ?" She asks and  Bloom rolls her eyes before looking at Lydia. "She's the only person whose given me any sort of answers of who I am and they are taking her away for something stupid." Bloom says and Lydia's  eyes widen. "And you believed her ? Bloom she can't be trusted !" Lydia says and Bloom looks at her with anger. "All because she slept with your boyfriend, might I add was more than once, even when you started dating and still are !" Bloom shouts while Lydia's heart stops before gasping taking a step back while Blooms eyes widen. "Wait ! Lydia !" Bloom shouts while Lydia turns running off not letting bloom finish. Lydia's feet leave burnt marks in the ground before she disappears into the school. "Good going Bloom did you really have to say that ?! knowing not all of what you said is true ?! He has been nothing but faithful to her  trust me I'd know I can read minds !" Musa says before taking off into the school after Lydia. "Lydia !" Musa calls following the scorched footfalls of her friend into the back of the school. Stopping her eyes widen seeing a tornado of fire and crackling lightning gaining the attention of other students. The roar of the fire and winds has her breath catching in her throat. Riven stands next to her while Musa continues to stare. "Who is that ?" Riven asks in wondered worry while Musa looks over to him. "Your girlfriend and Bloom made her slip off the deep end."
