The Dark Tides [3]

The Here and Now

Ms. F paced around her office while she waited for Griselda to return with the Winx, a piece of paper laid on her desk and despite how many times she read it she couldn't not believe it. She was so sure, and just wanted to take the right precautions but......

Ms. F? Bloom asked as she walked in, the other girls coming in after her, you called us?

Yes, Ms. F said; it has come to our attention that Frieda somehow escaped last night, despite all the precautions that we have made.

That's good right, Aisha said it means Frieda was in control, so what's the issue?

I wish it were that simple Aisha Ms. F said. Unfortunately it isn't; just because Frieda's in her right mind now doesn't mean that it won't happen again, as long as Tritannus has power Frieda can fall into his grasp. Last time it wasn't because of Frieda's emotions but rather Tritannus's and he was able to force his emotions onto Frieda and take control of her.

That means it could happen whenever Tecna said, and it will be nearly impossible for Frieda to fight it off.

That is the issue, you see girls news tends to spread fast Ms. F said, and the Rainbow Council heard off this, and they're considering many things. Many things Frieda doesn't deserve to go through. I tried talking to them but here my hands are truly tied, I cannot do anything against the council, they are afraid Frieda is unsafe and unfit to be part of the magic dimension, and I'm afraid they might just do it.

But, they can't Flora screamed, they wouldn't, she's innocent! She's done nothing wrong, but be a subject to something she can't control, and now they're going to rip everything she has away! No, I won't let it; it's disgusting, that's how you treat a villain! A hero, a fairy, a person who sacrificed herself for others and the magic dimension. She doesn't deserve that nobody does, but her especially, no; I'm not going to let it happen. Not to my best friend, not to my sister; we may not be blood related but yes, she is my sister.

I understand you're emotions Flora but there's nothing we can do, especially without proof that Frieda was in fact in her right mind when she escaped Ms. F said, but even then they'll still be harsh. Frieda has left a note that is quite harsh, but it completely proves that Frieda was herself when she left.

Do you mind if I read it Musa asked.

No go ahead Ms. F said, but as long as Frieda's safe and okay then we truly must only worry about the rainbow council.

The six girls where worried as they read over the letter carefully. Outside invisible to all a man stood by the window to the headmistress's office and listened closely to the window so he could over hear everything they spoke of. He frowned after hearing the conversation and turned away from the window and transported to a small cottage by a field of roses. You won't like what you're going to hear he said startling the girl sitting in the field.

I figured I wouldn't, but I'll take my chances, well Ogron, Frieda said as she turned from the flowers to face her brother, what'd you hear?

The Rainbow council figured out what was going on and there scared, they want to sentence you something, didn't here what but Flora was defending you. Faragonda said her hands were tied and she couldn't do anything against the council.

She's right about that Frieda said. It's going to be hard fighting the council off my back. What else?

They saw your letter said it was proof that you were in your right mind, but Rainbow council wouldn't buy it, said that Tritannus could have wrote it Ogron said.

I thought they would do that, Frieda said. I'm assuming that's it.

Yeah, but you're friends are worried about you Ogron said, and don't say you agree that they should be.
