After my talk with Beatrix I wandered around the school, it was always so peaceful. But not tonight, tonight it had haunted by her screams, Beatrix's screams.
As i arived at Dowlings very childproof fairy cell building i saw Dane talking to Bloom, who was suspiciously hiding behind a car of one of the guards who was now gaurding the building Bea was in.

'I know what your doing.' I heard Dane say. 'You don't know anything.' Bloom said as i was sudenly standing behind Dane. 'You wanna talk to her, don't you?' I asked. Dane quickly looked beside him, where i was not standing. 'Beatrix.' I said.
'We can help you.' Dane said
'What do you mean?' Bloom asked.
'Our guard shifts are tomorrow night. Maybe you'll need some air then too.' He replied as he walked away.
'Until then.' I said as i made my way inside to my dorm.

'Where is it?'Riven asked me.
'I dont know, just stay close.' I replied. We were learing how to fight burned ones, but with shitty burned one dummies who were twice as easy to kill. As i heard the fake burned one i looked around. While Riven was quite dramatically swinging his sword around not facing me. 'Riven, focus.' I hissed, as i saw a fake burned one running thowards me from besides me, I quickly took out my sword and trying to trip the burned one with my magic shouting 'On your left!'
'Sage?' Riven asked looking at me like i was crazy. 'I got it.' I said not trying to choke the burned one, with no result. 'Oh my god.' Riven sighed anoyed as he semi-dramatically chopped of the burned one's head slightly cutting my cheek in the process. 'Ouch, Hey! That one was mine!' I scolded him. 'Yeah and you were definitely getting close to killing it by fucking tripping it. Fucking nature fairies.' He responded.
'Oh shit, i cut you cheek.' He chuckled. 'And again, you've injured me, fucking deja vu to last year.' I said walking out of the maze we were in. 'Nah last year was better, multiple wounds, our pretty matching scars oh and your broken arm.' He said following me. 'Oh yes our matching scars, when did we get those again?' I smirked.

'That vine restaint move's not half bad, Ter.' Kat told my friend. As Riven and i sat down net to her. 'Thanks. It's, uh.. It's all about the, uhm, the tensile strength of the cellulose.' Terra said as Kat walked away. 'Ah, tensile strength, Hot. Riven said as i tried finding my water bottle. 'She's right, you know. You're a force out there.' Riven said. 'Thanks.' Terra responded, and i looked at Riven with a questioning look on my face. What the fuck, sho are you and what have you done to riven?! 'You too.' Terra said. 'Ah fuck off, i was shit. You know after two attempts with me, Aisha quit combat to switched to support so..' Riven said.
'Well, its... its been a weird week.' Terra said. 'And that is completely true.' I sighed. 'Im sorry, i know that you and Beatrix were... close, so this must be really hard.' Terra replied.
I nodded, and suprisingly Riv did too.

'Sweet moves, Riv!' Dane said cheerfully as i took another sip of water. 'I've never seen somebody die so many different ways so quickly.'
I almost choked on my water as i tried not to laugh. 'You should go for Alfea's Got Talent.'

'What was that?' Terra asked.
'That was a shitty burn from the first-year monster I created. Or... Beatrix created.' Riven said. 'Aka me and Beatrix's love child.' I chuckled.
'He's still got, like, a hard-on for her, a weird gay hard-on. Is he even gay?' Riven asked. 'I dont know anything anymore. Well, see you in a bit.' Riven said as he walked away. 'That was weird.' I said. 'So weird.' Terra replied.

And as promised, me and Dane were waiting for Bloom while guarding Beatrix, the poor girl.
'Its okay, he's out.' I said, referring to our fellow guard who was peacefully sleeping. 'What did you do to him?' Bloom asked. 'Relax, its just a minir sedative.' Dane said. 'She's waiting.'

'Somebody took her sweet time.' Beatrix said. 'Did you kill Callum?' Bloom asked. 'Right at it, then. Good girl.' Beatrix responded as I leaned on the bars of her cel. Bi panic, bi panic.
'Did you?' Bloom asked. 'Short answer, yes.' Beatrix replied.
'What the hell Beatrix!' Bloom wisper yelled. 'Do i want to know the long answer.' She asked.
'What about the medium one?' Callum wasn't just some suck-up assistant he wanted the same thing i want.' Beatrix said. 'He was here to break Rosalind out..' I said.
'Bit more complicated than "evil Beatrix kill hapless assistant." I mean that's the story the faculty's going with, right?' She asked. 'I mean i get it. Who wants to deal with nuance?'

'Dowling, Harvey, Silva, they haven't told me the truth about a lot of things. But just because they haven't doesn't mean that you have.' Bloom said.
'You still dont believe that they torched Aster Dell?' Beatrix snapped back. 'If they did, it they killed my birth parents.... I have to actually find out what happened that day.' Bloom said. 'I know somebody who could tell you.' Beatrix replied.
'Where are they keeping her?' Bloom asked. 'I could show you how to get to her. Rosalind.' Beatrix responded.

'What do you want?' Bloom aksed.
'These lovely accessories Dowling gave me hurt like a motherfucker. On you way out, Dane will give you a trinket that can help you get rid of them. Think of it like a fairy battery, you can use you magic to charge it at the Stone Circle.' Beatrix explained.
'You want me to free you?' Bloom asked. 'You dont trust me? You shouldn't. You shouldn't trust you friends, you shouldn't trust the faculty. The only person you should trust, is Rosalind. And if you want to see her, this is your only option.' Beatrix said.

Then Bloom walked away.
'Until then.' I said. 'Until then.' Beatrix responded. Then i quickly followed Bloom outside, where she got a book from Dane.
'I know you and Beatrix are friends, but-' Bloom started. 'Why am I helping her? Easy. She's one of the only people here who ever made me feel like being different was a good thing.' Dane said. I smiled. 'So why are you here?'
'You know, Beatrix is the only one who's given me answers.... I jsut dont know how far I'm willing to go to get them.' Bloom said.

After training i went to the courtyard where i met up with Dane. He sat next to me as he lit a cigarette. 'So what your a full-on wake-and-bake delinquent now?' Terra asked, who was leaning against a pole next to our table. 'And in the courtyard too, Smart.'
'Yep. Want some?' He asked her blowing some smoke in her face. 'Whay is wring with you?' Terra asked. 'Eh, I'll take that.' I said, stealing his cigarette. 'Oh she cares about me again.' Dane replied.
'I've always cared about you.' Terra said. Awhh what a cute couple of besties. 'Really?' Dane asked angry.
'Cause I did one bad thing and you cut me off.'
'So what you're all about Beatrix now?' Terra asked. Get the popcorn, I almost never say but this is quite amusing. 'Well she never did anything that made me feel that shitty.' Dane said as i took a hit of his cigarette. 'No, she just murdered someone, Dane.' Terra sneered. 'I'm done with this.' Dane sighed as he stood up. 'Except tou kind of aren't.' Terra said tieing his foot to our couch with her magic. *sage eating imaginary popcorn* Terra smiled as Dane tried to take a hit of his cigarette but was quickly stopped as Aisha blew it out of his mouth with her magic, making me wet. 'Whats going on with you and Bloom?' She asked. 'There goes my just cleaned shirt.' I wispered anoyed.
'Tell us. Or-' Terra said. 'What? Your not going to hurt me.' Dane chuckled.
'Well that probably depends on what you definition of hurt is.' Terra said.
'Maybe not physical pain, but dont think I'm above leaving you in that chair as long as it takes for you to talk.' Terra said. 'That looks like a oretty big bottle of water, hope you can hold it, otherwise.. messy.' she said looking at Dane's bottle.
'Two options. Talk. Or we'll tell Silva and Dowling.' Aisha said. 'Classic Snitching, that very first yeary of you.' I said and patted Terra on her shoulder before leaving.
