"Bloom has been in there for a long time." Terra spoke up, her words cutting through the tense silence in the tunnel. Bloom insisted on going to see Rosalind alone and they were all currently waiting for her to come out. "What could they be talking about?"

"I once heard you talk about 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘵 for two hours." Stella deadpanned, "𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘵. 𝘛𝘸𝘰 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴."

Terra frowned, "It was soil. We just left Beatrix lying there in Miss Dowling's office." Musa flinched when she noticed Sabrina stiffening at the mention of the air fairy while Terra was completely oblivious to it and kept rambling. "I just want to make sure she's not awake, fashioning five shivs."

"Don't be ridiculous." Musa glared at her, her voice monotone, "It will be one shiv five times. Stab, stab, stab, stab, stab."

Tecna rolled her eyes and nudged their elbows together, "Tact, please."

"Can we just go and check, please?" Terra pleaded, causing Stella to scowl in annoyance.

"Fine." the Princess gave in, "But you are overreacting."

Sabrina huffed in annoyance but allowed Tecna to link their elbows together and followed her roommates back to Dowling's office. When they did arrive there, Beatrix was no longer lying across the floor. She was not even in the office which made it clear that she gained full consciousness a long time ago.

"Ah, look at that." Terra sighed as she nervously shifted on her feet, "She's gone. I'd like my apology via a scented handwritten note after we find her."

Musa's eyes glowed purple and widened a second later. "It gets worse."

Sabrina followed her gaze towards the closed door of the office just as they slammed open and Dowling came barging into the room with Professor Harvey . . . and Aisha right behind her.

"You have no idea of the trouble you've caused." The Headmistress snapped.

"We were just trying to ── "

"Not another word." Harvey cut his daughter off. "Come with me."

The five fairies slowly walked after him towards the exit of the office. Stella only halted in her step to throw a snide comment Aisha's way. "I hope the brownie points you get from this will keep you company when you have no friends."

Aisha kept her gaze on the floor, refusing to meet the eyes of her roommates. Was she ashamed? Guilty? Sabrina really hoped that she was.

"Insubordination, breaking and entering, endangering the lives of your classmates, and releasing Rosalind?" Harvey listed all the ways the group of fairies broke the school rules that day. All while they sat in front of him in complete silence. "Do you have any idea what you have done? I'd say I was disappointed in you, but this goes way beyond that."
