Our Fates

Episode 3. Part 1

For a few days after the burned one incident, Oakley didn't talk to anybody. Not Sky, the girls, Sam, or even the teachers. All she would do, was her work for classes and then go and train by herself with one of the enchanted test dummies. 

The others could see how bad it was affecting her but even they had other things to worry about. Aisha was trying to help Bloom find the old lady that was in her vision although she said that she doesn't really remember what she looked like. 

The boys were now training a lot harder than ever. Riven and Musa were spending more time together and there was a specific redhead air fairy who didn't seem to like that very much. But the girls also had their personal assessments coming up so they needed to prepare.

Hard to do that when you're struggling with almost losing a loved one, and to make it worse, they can't get better until the thing that injured them was dead. Lot's of stress and emotions were happening for a few days. 

But after Headmistress Dowling noticed Oakley's grades were slipping and she wasn't trying her hardest in classes, then something needed to be said or done. Miss Dowling knew that it wouldn't be an extremely smart idea for Oakley to be near Silva, but it was the only plan she had. 

So she decided to make Oakley go to her training lesson with everyone else. No matter how much she protested against it, the headmistress was not changing her mind and would make the young fairy go down there forcefully if she had to. 

Once Oakley was outside and saw the boys training, she felt safer. Musa seemed to be fighting Riven with a pole and Brandon and Sky were on the high platform, trying to beat the shit out of each other because Silva was watching them. 

Once he was gone, Oakley thought it would be a good idea to walk over to the boys, she needed to talk to someone. 
"Hey guys." She said as she approached the platform and leant against it.

"Hey." They said in unison and sat down on either side of the girl.
"Does Silva look like he's gotten worse to you guys or is that just me?" She asked, staring off in the distance towards the older man with the walking stick. 

"That's what I was just talking about." Sky explained to his sister and Brandon seemed to be annoyed at this.
"What, Brandon gets a compliment and all of a sudden Silva has brain damage?" He threw his hands in the air and just looked at the siblings.

"Well it has been a week since he was attacked by the burned on-" Sky started saying as they all walked over towards Stella who was sitting on the bench, before he got interrupted.
"Please, don't say that things name. It haunts my nightmares enough as it is." She walked ahead of the two boys and sat next to Stella who gave her a quick side hug.  

"Alright, what do you think Stel?" Sky asked the blonde but she seemed to be too distracted on her phone again.
"About what exactly?" She looked up from her phone and asked.

"Silva. How does he look to you?" Sky couldn't keep his eyes off Silva, while Oakley was trying everything in her power to look away from the man.
"He looks fine." Stella said and then looked back to her phone.

"Wow. Dr. Stella coming through with a zero-effort diagnosis." Brandon smiled towards the girl and she stared at him sarcastically. 
"Okay, coming away from this conversation, are you guys training this afternoon or are we all hanging out before the party?" Stella asked the group. 

"I'm not really sure if I want to go to the party tonight honestly." Oakley look down at her hands and then looked up towards where Silva was standing and helping Riven with his stance. 
"You two need to stop worrying honestly. He's fine as long as Mr. Harvey still has him on the Zanbaq." 

Stella really was trying to make the two siblings feel better and it was working slightly but not really.
"Yeah but that only manages his symptoms." Sky put his jacket on and looked towards Stella. 
"He won't get better til they kill the bu-" He managed to stop himself from saying the name after hearing his sister's reaction to when he said it the first time. 

"-the one that attacked him." He finished his sentence and gave his younger sister a sorry look. 
"Yeah but there are people out there looking for it, you guys know that." Brandon stepped in and was really making sure that Sky was feeling better about Silva. 

"Plus, it's not gonna be able to get away from every fairy and specialist in the Otherworld." Stella quickly gave Oakley another hug and then stood up to leave.
"Please stop worrying about you, you know he's going to turn out fine. We have a class to get to though, so I will see you all later okay?" She said and her and Brandon walked off. 

Soon enough Riven and Musa walked over to the siblings. 
"I so would blame her and Brandon for your shit sparring this last week but I know you guys and Silva were close. So I'm here for you if you ever need." Riven stated and gave Sky a quick pat on the back before he quickly walked away. 

"Well, I'm here for you to Oak. You know you can come and spar with me whenever you need to." Riven smiled towards the girl and Musa sad down next to her. 
"So, on a completely unrelated note. How are things with Sam going?" Musa asked Oakley. 

She knew that every night just after the lights were meant to be out, they would sneak out of their dorms to see each other. It's been going on since the first night after the attack and both of them had just gotten so used to it. 

"The same as yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that. I honestly don't know what you want me to tell you." Oakley smiled towards her friend. Musa and her had seemed to bond a lot recently and they found each other as best friends seeing as they shared something in common. 

"Don't tell her anything, but do tell me everything." Riven's eyes went wide when he heard Sams name pop up in conversation between the girls. Oakley just looked at him as if he was crazy.
"What? I may be your brothers best mate but that doesn't mean I don't want to know the gossip." 

At those words, the three burst out laughing and couldn't stop for a few minutes. After they all calmed down Oakley decided that there would be no harm in telling Riven everything. I mean, he was gonna find out eventually. 

After explaining everything Rivens mouth just hung open, and his jaw would hav been on the ground if it wasn't connected to his head. 
"Just please don't tell Sky or Brandon or anyone. I mean I think something might be going on between us but neither of us have clarified with the other so I think it's best you keep it on the down low okay?" 

She looked towards the boy with a serious face and he just nodded his head. There was no way he was going to tell a living soul because it meant a few people would be dead meat because of Sky. 

"Enough about me and my relationships though. You two seem to be spending an awful lot of time together lately. What's going on there?" Oakley smirked towards her two friends and they both went as red as a tomato. 

She just laughed at the two and how awkward they were before quickly trying to get them to talk about it.
