The Way I Loved You

"Now I trust you all understand the gravity of the situation. So, until we are sure about we're going to proceed, nobody can know any of the details of what happened at the graveyard today. Nobody can know that any of the fairies at this school no longer control the Dragon Flame," Silva explained to us.

"Sorry, I know it's a big deal that Bloom kill- that's Rosalind's dead. But in my humble opinion, I do think it's a bigger deal that Rosalind murdered Miss Dowling," Terra stated. Yes, according to Sebastian, our headmistress didn't only experiment on dying children she also murdered our other headmistress in cold blood.

"Yes, but the only thing we know for certain is the first part of that sentence," Silva responded as Sky came into the office holding a black box.

"Thank you Sky," Silva said as he removed the box from my boyfriend's hands and Sky came to stand behind me protectively, whilst I wasn't a mind fairy, I could tell that Sky was on edge around Bloom. Afraid that she's possibly hurt me with her uncontrollable magic, every time Bloom moved or even spoke Sky was alert and on edge.

"Now I have made an agreement with your dad Winnie, that should keep Bloom out of confinement," Silva said as he opened the box to reveal silva coils.

"What are those?" Flora asked.

"Torture devices to stop Bloom from using her magic. The crystal is why she lost control. She discharged her magic into it, she's not a risk anymore," Aisha explained urgently however it was no use.

"My dad wouldn't care if Bloom was unconscious and dying, he's a strong believer in an eye for an eye. I'm surprised his offer is so gentle," I responded.

"It's okay. I did it I'm not going to fight," Bloom mumbled. I heard Silva sigh before he attached the coils to her wrist making her skin spilt open and ooze with blood.

"Winnie's dad will convene a tribunal to determine the consequences of Bloom's actions. Queen Luna will preside over it," Silva explained as me and Stella shared a worried glance, we were both aware of how tough both our parents were and together Bloom had no chance of surviving this trial.

"So you expect us to go to class and act like everything's normal?" Terra asked.

"Nope, because everything's not normal. Queen Luna is making an address," Silva responded as he settled down a projector that showed the Queen. 

"Citizens of Solaria, I have tragic news. Rosalind Hale, headmistress of Alfea is dead. It is a grave loss, not only for the students of Alfea but for the entire realm. Rosalind was one of the bravest fairies the Other World had ever seen. Respected by her peers. Feared by her enemies. But fear well not dictate how we respond. There is a guilty party and they will be brought to justice. Blood witches, their hatred to our kind is well known. But a heinous act such as this is unprecedented, carried out by their leader, Sebastian Valtor. Every Blood Witch following him is consider an enemy of the crown. We will use the full weight of our military against them. And make no mistake, this is an act of war."

The room fell silent at the queen's speech, she certainly had a war of twisting the knife deeper in the wound. I didn't understand why she was probing the Blood Witches knowing the resources they had however she was right, Rosalind's murder was Sebastian's fault. But I mean, it's slightly dramatic causing a bloody war about it. 

"Have you talked to Bloom since last night?" Sky asked as we woke up and Riven had left us a note saying he was helping Silva out.

"No, she wants to be left alone according to Aisha, apparently she's afraid she's going to hurt someone again. I was thinking, we could spend the day in bed relaxing. Maybe watch a couple movies," I suggested as Sky shook his head.
