Lion's Pride

S.1 Chapter 8: Betrayed!

A couple days later since the festival, there has been a weird occurrence during the night. While sleeping I have been feeling pulses of light magic making me unconsciously release some of my magic waves. By that point I'm either nudged awake or flopped on by a bunch of fur thanks to Alastair. This night being no different. Dreaming about a meadow full of lions I sense waves of light magic in the area, starting to send some of my magic back I feel a pressure on my body as I start losing my breath. Waking up with a gasp I take fistfuls of air before only spotting white fur in front of my face.

"Alastair would you mind getting off?" I asked pushing my furry companion off me as he sat down beside the bed.

"You were doing it again." He states starting to stretch as I followed in his movements letting out a yawn. and getting up from the bed as my sock covered feet touched the floor.

"Really?" I yawned out looking at Alastair.

"The lions are reacting to the dragon, but someone is making contact with Bloom." Alastair explained as we made our way out of our room.

"Let's go check on her." I offered as we spot Flora knocking on Stella's door reaching them as the blonde opened it.

"No wait, don't tell me." The blonde said before sniffing the air and turning towards us. "Oh, it's you Flora, Zariel, and Alastair. I'd recognize those perfumes anywhere."

"It's Oh Naturale." Alastair joked back as the blonde turned back to her room getting giggles from me.

"Stop joking Stella. I'm here about Bloom." Flora stated seriously as the blonde jumped face first into bed. 

"Wrong room, she sleeps in yours, remember?" Stella yawned out still not facing us.

"No listen. She's doing it again Stella, you understand?" Flora informed worried only getting a yawn from both Stella and I.

"Understand, what?" Stella asked slow on the uptake.

"I'll help you out Flora." I announced to Flora getting a smile.

"Oh, thank you!" The brunette exclaimed before we all left to Bloom and Flora's room.

Getting there, a thunder storm was raining outside as we spot Bloom restlessly moving in her bed while talking in her sleep.

"You see! She's talking to someone in her sleep." Flora stated worried for her friend.

"That's not so unusual. She's probably having a nightmare or something." Stella stated as we watched Bloom, though from time to time a felt light magic coming off of her.

"But that's not just a nightmare. Look at her!" Flora exclaimed as we watched a yellow light shine on her skin as she transformed back and forth from her fairy form to normal and shouting words and phrases.

"You are correct, but what's causing it?" I asked looking at Alastair getting a nod from him. 

"That's amazing! Looks like she's transforming in her sleep." The blonde exclaimed as we observed the sleeping girl.

"Maybe we ought to do something?" Flora proposed looking at Stella, Alastair, and I. "Let's get the others. Maybe Tecna can do something to help her or Musa maybe we should tell Miss Griselda!" the brunette kept worrying as Stella tried getting her attention by calling her name to no avail.

"No maybe not! Uh! Let's go and see-" Flora kept muttering not hearing Stella call her again. "Or maybe we shouldn't do anything at all. You know, like sleep walker."

"Flora! Listen!" Stella tried again though ignore. "FLORA!!"

"What?!" Flora yelled as well worried making Alastair and I sigh.
