Keeping her face blank, Calissa walks in further to her closet without glancing to her mother.

"Your father told you." Blue determines.

"Well someone had to. And it didn't look like it was going to be you anytime soon." Calissa says coldly. "Look, we can talk another time, but I have somewhere to be right now." Breathing in and out to the countdown in her head she stroll's to her shared bathroom and closed the door.

Moving out of the bathroom thirty minutes later, Calissa's relieved to find her mother gone and maybe just a little disappointed. Roaming her eyes over to where her mother once sat, her brown orbs snagged to a blue slip of paper. Picking it up to see the pathetic 'I'm sorry.' Scrawled on it filled Calissa with sadness and rage. Which for her was never a good combination. Passing quickly to her door, she roamed the halls until she found who she was looking for. With less than a few days to the coronation she hadn't seen much of the VK's outside of class. Finding them in the girls' dorm, the fairy strutted in, "I have a few questions."

Startling at her entrance, Carlos jumped clutching his hand to his heart. Lifting a brow at the reaction to which he blushed, Calissa sat on one of the beds. Mal looks over to her warily, remembering their last conversation. While also recalling that the girl was emitting a blue mist much like she was now. "Shoot."

"Are you guys going back to the Isle when you take down the barrier?"

The four VK's glance at each other, unsure of their answer. Noticing this look she continues, "Ok I'll give you an easier one, how will any of you get close enough to snatch the wand?"

"Oh we have a plan for that. Since Mal is now Ben's girlfriend, she'll get to be in the front row with his parents, granting her the closest access. While the rest of us will be on the balcony above." Evie happily replies.

Calissa nods along at the information. Making a somewhat impressed face, her blue mist fades with her anger. "Oh, I understand the girlfriend bit now. I don't approve of the way it was handled but I understand the necessity. This next question is kind of off topic so just answer it. Have any of you met Captain Hook? Does he have any children?"

Jay is the next to answer the fairy in training, "Um, no. I haven't. But I do know that he has a son, Harry. Personally, I'm not a fan." He makes an unimpressed face.

The brunette keeps her face blank, feeling a sudden pressure on her chest as she stands.

"Great. I'll be in the second row. See you there."

Feeling a sense of panic, she stalks out while grabbing her phone from her pocket, already calling her mother. Her mother picks up just as she gets outside to the lawn where Family Day was held. The teenager speaks before her mother greets her. "I want to know everything. I don't care if I have to come to you, if you don't bother to show up or give me any of the information I want I'm going to my other source."

A blue misty portal appears before Calissa on the lawn . A wave of magic follows Blue as she steps onto the lawn. Calissa hangs up the phone as she walks over to the gazebo. Her mother's footsteps follow in her wake. Blue stops in her tracks for a moment, just noticing the aura around her eldest. Calissa unknowingly gives off powerful waves of magic, one that could rival Blue's. Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion the first Blue Fairy makes a mental note to question her daughter about how long those wings have been there. Much like Blue's wings they sparkle in the sunlight, while also bearing next to no weight. In Her daughter's state it's no surprise she hadn't figured it out. Fairies of Blue's type gain their wings when they fully mature into their magic. Sitting upon the bench the fairies wait a breath before speaking.

"What do you want to know?" Blue looks over to the younger girl in worry while clasping her hands together.

"I have another brother." Calissa states.

Unintentionally Blue widens her eyes, "Yes."

Calissa raises a brow in contempt, "That's it? What do you know about him? Is he my half brother?"

Blue shakes her head with tears in her eyes. "He's your twin." Blue sniffles and says, "When I got pregnant with you, I didn't know if I was going to keep you or give you to James to raise. But our magic appears in the females most of the time and while on the Isle you wouldn't know about it, It's much less dangerous when you have control over it. So I kept you, hoping you'd gain control while working with Fairy Godmother. Although it seems I was wrong. As for Harry, it pains me to know that he's on the Isle, if I raised him he would show much resemblance to his father. Resemblance I wouldn't be able to explain. I feared the King and Queen would take his father's crimes and put the blame on him."

Feeling her heart stop for a moment, the younger fairy starts to breathe heavier. The world around her blurring, her heart beating so loudly in her ears. She can faintly feel her face getting wet. Blue kneels before her, gently taking Calissa's hands in hers. "Honey?" Brushing aside some fallen strands of hair, Blue wipes away her daughter's tears and brings her into their first embrace since Calissa was three. With the sturdy arms around her, she comes to a few moments later. Recalling the last few words of the conversation, She pulls back abruptly.

"What do you mean? So you just left him? What about my magic?"

Her mother sits back down on her side of the bench while evading the most important question, "I'm talking about the mist and the wings. Haven't you detected your magic getting stronger?"

Still clutching her mother's hands, she stares back at her mother, very confused. "Well I can feel it get stronger when I experience a lot of emotion. But I didn't know about the wings. Can I fly with them?" Giving her mother an excited grin, she waits for a response.

"Eventually." A few heartbeats later, Blue continues.

"Honey, I've decided to retire. I wasn't there for much of your childhood or your siblings, but I'd like to be there now. Help you with your magic. If that's alright with you?" Blue waits with a hopeful look.

Calissa's face falters a bit. Realizing her mother didn't answer about her brother, Calissa takes back her hands, she says, "I'll have to think about it."

Blue's expression is one of understanding and pain. "Alright."
