«Eve»
I opened my eyes and found Sky's face a few inches away.
I could feel my head bursting from the way it was beating.
«take this»
The blond opened a test tube and approached my lips, to make me drink it.
The liquid was burning as it went down my throat.
It was disgusting, but it made my head stop beating.
I managed to pull myself up and sat me down on the infirmary bed.
«what happened?»
«you slept for three days, after your transformation»
I put my hand over my face and sighed.
It was time to tell him the whole story from the beginning.
«I didn't know you could do it»
I'll tell you everything. My father's family comes from a long line of fire fairies; while my maternal grandfather's lineage were fairies of the mind, and my maternal grandmother fairies of the air. When I was born they expected the magic of fire to prevail over others; but I could also become an air fairy or a mind fairy.
I have all three. When I arrived at school, Rosalind, who was the director at the time, preferred that everyone thought I was a fire fairy, as it was the magic that prevailed the most. Every afternoon after class, Rosalind gave me private lessons to help me control my every power. After a month I started doing some research to understand if there was someone like me who could give me answers. There was no one, as there is no one yet. Rosalind continued she gave me lessons and I felt that every time I was going to lose control. Until one day, during training, I lost him completely and I transformed»
«but Bloom said you didn't have wings»

«No, in fact; I discovered that my magic had its own reason. Every five hundred years, a fairy is born with the power of the phoenix. Rosalind kept pushing me to use my power, my transformation, to lose control to use the flame of the phoenix. I just wanted to finish my studies and graduate. My magic was becoming a problem. It was in those days that I met Saul; and he came into my life. My magic started to calm down and never get out of control, and I guess Rosalind didn't like it. Anyway I finally lost control. I was always nervous and my magic was always in use, I couldn't be myself anymore. Rosalind had made me a monster. I set Asterdell on fire. I had powers out of control. It took me days to get back to normal, and then once Rosalind was frozen, I never let the flame of the phoenix take over. Until three days ago. The burnt ones didn't just come back for Bloom, Sky; they were there for me too»
«you could have also told about me; for example, about when Silva gave me a right hook, because he caught us while we were kissing or when he thought we had a relationship without his knowledge, even if I already had the girl»
I startled when I recognized the voice I hadn't heard in years.
I turned to the entrance, where Andreas was leaning against the door frame.
«you should be dead»
«It's a funny story, I'm sure Sky will gladly tell you»
I wanted to set them on fire, but when I tried to use my magic, a strong cramp filled my abdomen.
«It's a pleasure to see you again»
«I would like to be able to say the same, but it is not so»
«oh I see that you've finally woken up»
I jumped a second time, when Rosalind passed Andreas to approach the bed.

I thought you would sleep for a few more days, I'll have to thank Ben for his care. I would like to talk to you later, come by my office; I am sure that in the meantime Andreas will be able to update you on the news of the last three days»
I only released my breath when Rosalind left the infirmary.
«Sky come out, me and goldilocks we must talk»
The specialist shook my hand and smiled at me; before he got up and went out.
«strength tells, I know you can't wait to do it; I can sense it from the smile you have printed on your face»
I sighed and dropped my legs on the side of the mattress.
«once you liked this smile»
When he approached my face, I slapped them on the cheek.
Yes, when you were changing and you seemed to be on our side, twenty years have passed; have you forgotten?»
«ha già, about dear old Silva. I don't think he'll be your boyfriend for much longer»
«What the hell are you talking about?»
The specialist's smile turned my stomach. Seriously, I wanted to throw up.
Queen Luna arrested him for my attempted murder, he is on trial at the moment. You'll be happy to know that the only one left in Alfea is Ben, since Farah has taken a break. And Rosalind wants you back as a magic teacher, since you can teach a lot»
Three days and Rosalind had turned everything upside down.
Saul.
Shit, I had to do something. I couldn't let him go to trial.
«Don't even think about it, Rosalind is watching you, you know»
I got up, but I was pierced by a strong dizziness and Andreas caught me before I fell on the ground.
«Leave me Andreas, why do you behave like this? Saul was your best friend and Alice-»
You said well before, twenty years have passed, people change. And you said right, he was my best friend. Now don't be stupid, I'll take you to your room so you can get some rest before you see Rosalind tonight»
