The three girls had made it back to Alfea, only to find out that the specialist headmaster, Saul Silva, was attacked. Violet remembers Sky talking to her about him and how he sees the man as a father figure, and her heart was breaking for the blonde boy.
Violet didn't get a chance to check on the boy, since he was too busy worrying about headmaster Silva. It was now night time and Violet had decided to sleep in Bloom and Aisha's room for a sleepover, since she was terrified to have another nightmare.
The mind fairy also wanted to make sure that her younger adoptive sister would be fine considering what happened tonight.

Aisha was now brushing her teeth while Bloom helped Violet set up her makeshift bed on the floor.
The girl had already changed into her pyjamas which were similar to the ones she wore last night, but this time the plaid pyjamas were pink and she also had some fluffy pink slipper boots on.
"Terra just texted." Aisha informed, as she placed her phone down and used her other hand to hold her electric toothbrush. "She and Musa are headed back. Silva's being treated, but he'll be okay." Aisha informed.
Violet was relieved that the headmaster was going to be okay because, even though she had only known Sky for a little while, Violet and the boy had become somewhat friends and she was concerned for the second year specialist.
"—and we should prepare for another headmistress lecture when—" Aisha started to instruct the two once they had stood up after finishing with the makeshift bed. The girl was talking with the toothbrush still turned on, so it was hard to understand her.
"Is that thing industrial strength?" Bloom asked the water fairy, as the noise of the toothbrush was beginning to annoy, not only the fire fairy, but the mind fairy too.
"Why?" Aisha questioned innocently. "Does. It. Bother. You. When. I. Brush. My. Teeth?" She paused between each word, while getting closer and closer to Bloom's face.
Violet watched the two younger girls in amusement and laughed out loud when Bloom suddenly started chasing Aisha out of the room. Violet followed after the two, who were still chasing each other in the living space.
Bloom stopped short in front of Stella who had just came in and Violet stood a little behind the red head.
"Hey! There you are!" Bloom said to the light fairy. "What happened?" Bloom interrogated her, panting slightly from chasing Aisha around.
"I knew Miss Dowling would be suspicious why we were out there so I had to cover for us." Stella explained, as she looked between the three girls. "You should be grateful that I did, otherwise we'd be in quite a bit of trouble." Stella told them, which caused Violet to internally thank her, but that didn't mean she liked the way Stella said it.
"Did you get my ring?" The princess asked Bloom expectingly.
"Mm-hmm. No idea what I had to do to get this, but—" Bloom chuckled as she took the ring, that Violet had cleaned, out of her pyjama pocket.
"—Yeah, how about we never talk about this day ever again?" Stella asked rhetorically, as she snatched the ring out of Bloom's hands.
Stella walked away after she had received her ring and headed towards her and Violet's room.
Violet walked closer to her sister and bumped her shoulder with hers to get her attention. "Just ignore her. She should be grateful that we got her ring." Violet stated, hinting at Stella's earlier words about being grateful.
"I've told you countless times that I lost the ring in the first place." Bloom looked towards her older adoptive sister.
"And I've told you that I stand by my words that she shouldn't have even given it to you if it was so valuable." Violet shrugged her shoulders. "I agree with her though that there's no point talking about today again because it's over and done with now." Violet said.
Bloom nodded in agreement before heading back to her room. Violet was about to follow, but Sky had walked into the suite and she decided to hang back to talk to him.
Sky stopped in front of the mind fairy and just as she was about to say something to him, Stella, who was stood at their bedroom door, gestured for him to come in. "Sky." She called for him, while standing next to the door.
Sky looked towards the mind fairy regretfully, before walking into the room with Stella. Violet pursed her lips, as she didn't get the chance to check on him. Stella closed the door behind the two, while looking towards the light brown haired girl smugly.
"I'm happy that I'm staying somewhere else tonight." Violet muttered to herself, as she was glad she was staying with Bloom and Aisha, instead of having to watch Sky and Stella all night.

Violet turned on her heels and entered Bloom's room that she shared with the water fairy. The girl watched as Bloom made herself comfy, in a sitting position on top of her bed and Violet started to do the same on her own makeshift bed, while Aisha closed the bedroom door.
"So, at the risk of having you hate me again—" Aisha directed her words towards the fire fairy, as she made her way towards her own bed.
"—I never hated you." Bloom interrupted her sincerely. "Everything in my life was just out of my control and I just..." Bloom tried explaining and Violet could relate to her.
Violet didn't have much control in her life either, with the few visions she has been experiencing and causing her to now struggle to channel her magic. She was lucky that she was able to, earlier that day, when killing the burned one. Although, Violet presumes that she acted purely on instinct, since her sister was in trouble.
"—needed to do it your way." Aisha supplied for the fire fairy. "Why do you think I swim?" She questioned her, while relating to her. "The lane markings don't tell me what to do. Best friends a girl could have." Aisha expressed, as she got ready for bed.
"Yeah, you both just wanted to help." Bloom admitted, as she looked between her sister and her roommate.
"It was only partly about helping you." Aisha confessed, which caused Violet, who was now under her blanket, to turn towards the first year confused. Violet herself, was only doing it for her sister. "This, here, it's new for me. I just want it to go well." Aisha explained to the two girls.
Violet focused on Aisha and she could sense the truth coating her words, as well as worry, probably about wanting things at Alfea to go well.
Violet realised that all of the girls have their own insecurities and worries. Terra is worried about fitting in and is having insecurities about her body image. Bloom is struggling to fit in, since she wasn't as controlled as other people.
Aisha is struggling with the change that Alfea has brought into her life and Musa is overwhelmed with blocking the students at Alfea out. Violet isn't one hundred percent sure about Stella, because the princess was quite closed off and didn't talk much with her roommates.
Violet thought deeply about it and she realised that Stella probably has something that she's struggling with too, she was just better at hiding it. Violet may have judged her too quickly.
"Same." Bloom softly said, as she lay down on her bed.
"Who doesn't?" Violet questioned rhetorically. Everyone wants something to go well when they are experiencing something new, it's normal.
"Okay, so why did you wonder off at the barn?" Aisha questioned the fire fairy, as she changed the subject.
Violet looked towards the red head curiously, since she was too preoccupied with trying to drown out the voice in her head and didn't realise that Bloom had left the barn. She only knew that she had after finding her in the middle of the woods.
"I don't know actually." Bloom confessed. "Which is strange I-I felt something like—a connection to that thing." Bloom hesitantly explained.
Violet looked towards the red head with wide eyes, filled with worry. It seems that Violet was going to have another thing to worry about during her stay at Alfea.
"Weird." Aisha furrowed her eyebrows at the fire fairies explanation.
"Yeah." Bloom scoffed while chuckling. "I'm realising I have to live with weird. I'm not gonna understand at all. The thinking side of my brain has limits but...opening up emotionally...I can feel it. The magic is all around me." Bloom sat up from her lying down position on her bed as she talked.
Violet agreed with her inside her head. She wasn't perfect at opening up to people when she was back in California, but ever since arriving at Alfea, she's felt more free to express who she is because she can feel the magic aura around the school. It's different and Violet had dealt with change a lot in her life, but for the first time, she's not upset about it.
"Which is...new and kinda scary, but..." Bloom continued, but Violet was alarmed when Bloom's eyes fully turned a bright shade of white.
"But what?" Aisha questioned, after she realised Bloom had stopped talking.
"Aisha..." Violet called for her, but the mind fairy didn't take her eyes off of the red head, who sat still on her bed with her eyes still shining white.
Aisha turned to find out why Violet's voice was shaky and she stood up in alarm, as she finally saw what Violet was seeing.
"Bloom? Bloom!" Aisha tried to get her attention. but nothing worked. The water fairy quickly walked over to the fire fairy, who was on the bed and the mind fairy, who was crouched down in front of her.
Violet had no idea what to do and she shakily looked up towards Aisha, who was stood above her. Aisha shared the same panicked look and they turned to look at Bloom again, who was completely out of it.
