chapter four

Evangeline quickly excused herself from the conversation as Professor Silva watched her walk away, knowing why she left. She didn't want to discuss her mother and he couldn't blame her, especially since it was her fault she was gone - although he would never admit that to her.

As she made her way to the lunch hall, the mind fairy replayed her conversation with Silva in her head. She hated the sympathetic look on his face, the one everyone had given her since finding out about her mother. Everyone is Edyria were aware of their beloved queen's sudden death, but only Evangeline and her father ever knew of the causes.

Until now.

How her father could be so reckless as to tell someone else what she had done was beyond Evangeline. They had collectively decided that both of them would not disclose that information to anyone besides the two of them.

As she reached the lunch table all of her suite mates were sat at, they all greeted her with tight-lipped smiles – all except Stella who continued to drone on about her missing ring.

"This sounds like a you issue, Stella." Evangeline butted into the conversation.

"Except I didn't lose it, Bloom did."

"Only because you gave her it, if you hadn't been jealous of her having a simple conversation with Sky, we wouldn't be in this predicament, would we?"

"When do we go?" Bloom asked, stopping whatever snarky reply was going to come from Stella.

"Gonna be blunt. Sorry. Bloom, you have zero control over your magic. That is, if you manage to channel it. Bad idea." Aisha reminds Bloom.

"I lost the ring, I'm going to get it back."

Sky notices the tension growing between the fairies and tries to interrupt, "Guys, maybe we should take a second and think-"

"I think everyone is making a bigger deal of this than it needs to be." Stella says, rolling her eyes slightly.

"Yeah, we shouldn't be dragged into this because Stella had a bitch fit and put Bloom in danger, she should sort it out herself." Evangeline looked around the table before looking at Stella with a sickly-sweet smile.

"Not what I meant. The Burned One is locked up, right?" Stella directs her question towards Terra.

"Yeah, and subdued. I'm pretty sure my dad is distilling this oil that'll subdue it. It's called Zanbaq." Terra informs the group before adding, "I could probably make some more."

Stella's face lights up, "Thank you, Terra, for being helpful. Unlike others..." She trails off, sending a pointed glare in Evangeline's direction, although she paid no mind to the light fairy. Sky slightly nudges Stella as she made her snide remark, silently telling her to stop. "And thank you, Bloom, for taking responsibility. And thanks, everyone else, for nothing...absolutely nothing."

"Text me when we're doing it," Evangeline stands up, "I've got to be somewhere."

Evangeline left the lunch hall and headed straight to Miss Dowling's office per her request. Evangeline walked into the room where the assistant, Callum, would usually be, but she didn't expect to walk in on Riven and Beatrix snogging.

Evangeline clears her throat, catching the attention of the two teenagers seated in one chair, "Do either of you know where Professor Dowling is?"

"She's on lunch." Beatrix tells her, she looks at Evangeline curiously, knowing she's found what she was looking for.

"Thank you...enjoy?" Evangeline leaves the room, heading towards her next lesson which was astronomy.
