"right, listen up!" silva shouted. "the blood witches were waiting for us, so we've had to fall back. we're gonna stay here and regroup until the solarians come."
"but musa and flora are still in there" faye pointed towards the school, her voice angry.
"yeah, she's right, we should go now-" sky tried to say before silva interrupted.
"it's not up for debate, okay?" silva snapped. "so let's keep busy until then. move out."
faye shook her head and she heard riven sigh as they walked away. "i'm going in there." faye told him.
"not alone you're not." riven said in a hushed whisper.
"riv, i'm not gonna stand here and argue about this with you. i can go back to the groundskeeper's house and get stella to make me invisible i'm not letting musa and flora stay in that school." she told him.
"and what about everyone else?" he asked snappily. "and what if you don't make it out?"
"i'm getting my girls out first, that was always my plan, once the solarians come that's when we get everyone else." she explained, trying to keep calm.
"faye. what if you don't make it out?" riven said again, this time slower.
faye stayed silent for a while. "then- then i guess i don't make it out. i'm going to the house, riv."
"i'm coming with you then" he shrugged as he started walking to the house.
"riven." faye warned.
he spun around to face the girl. "if i'm gonna risk my life, then i'm risking it for you. just as you've done for me."
faye stared up at him, sadness and love in her eyes. "you are gonna be the death of me."
"till death do us part, princess." riven repeated the words faye once said to him.
...
faye and riven arrived at the house but as soon as they entered they were met with distraught faces.
"oh, god. what?" faye asked in worry.
"bloom and sky are missing." aisha replied anxiously.
"and nobody thought to tell me? my fucking brother is missing he doesn't have the blood witch antidote." faye yelled.
"we found out like five minutes ago, faye." aisha replied. "stella is out looking for them but she's keeping safe."
"i'm going to the school, they're obviously there."
"we'll wait till stella is back, then we'll talk to your dad." terra told the girl.
faye clenched her jaw. "he is not changing his mind on waiting for the solarians."
...
somehow the girls managed to drag faye back to her dad, with much protest.
"the solarians are on their way." silva told them again.
"will they fight an ancient evil because we're too scared?" stella asked.
"if that's what we have to do." silva simply replied.
faye stood next to riven, who was also pissed, although the look on his face just made faye want to kiss him.
"you can't be serious." aisha shook her head at the man.
"we are outnumbered."
"i don't care." terra told him with anger, silva let out a sigh. "bloom's inside risking everything to save sky. musa's got no magic and virtually no fighting ability, and she's still there. and my cousin spent last night in a basement surrounded by monsters. and what's she doing? cooking up a plan to kill those monsters. these are my friends." she continued to rant on. "they're our friends. they need us. so, no, i'm not gonna be waiting for the solarians. i'm not gonna wait outside my home for somebody else to save it. this is what dowling would've wanted. all of us, alfeans, fighting together." she finally finished.
silva took in a deep breath and sighed. "who am i to argue with farah, huh?" he smiled at his daughter. "no magic till we clear the scrapers, all right? let's gear up!"
...
all the specialists, including faye, ran towards all of the blood witch controlled specialists, the sound of swords clanging came from every direction as faye took down whoever came at them, when she had a moment she always looked for her dad and riven to see if they were okay.
faye may be more fairy than a specialist, but being a specialist always came first no matter what. she grew up training to be one and she always would be one, if she lost her magic she would be okay, it wasn't her magic who made her who she was, it was being a specialist.
she ran up onto a platform to her riven who was currently outnumbered. as always they worked around each other, knowing their every move.
it had begun to get dark and they were still fighting, but they were completely outnumbered. faye was becoming exhausted and all she wanted to do was use her magic, but she needed some sort of signal.
she almost cheered when she saw some of the alfea fairies come to fight. she smirked to herself and let her eyes turn dark. faye used her magic on all the blood witch controlled specialists, she saw her dad slightly struggling and ran to him, helping him fight.
she saw stella, aisha, and terra. "let's go!" aisha shouted to the girl.
she looked at her dad and then at riven. "go!" they both said, she sadly smiled at the two of them and ran to catch up with the girls.
...
they headed through the greenhouse but saw grey guarding a door.
"we're going inside." aisha told him.
"i can't let you do that." he replied to her, stepping closer, making faye do the same. "my brother died in aster dell."
aisha walked past him, the girls following behind. "whatever your reasons are-"
"i was my parents' replacement son."
"stop." she muttered.
"sebastian told them he could bring my brother back to life."
"i said stop." aisha replied angrily, stopping in her tracks.
"i can't wait around for them to talk, i'm going." faye told stella and terra, she then sped past aisha and grey to go find bloom and sky.
faye ran into the hall to see bloom knelt next to sky. "sky!" she yelled, running to him and bloom.
she saw her brother on the ground as bloom sobbed next to him. faye felt her anger rise to a point she had never felt before, she and bloom glanced at each other, their anger clearly on the same level.
their wings appeared quickly, faye's power had never felt so strong she didn't think she had any more in her. the two girls stared at sebastian and faye heard him gasp quietly.
"this is exactly what happened to your mum, bloom. and faye, if you use any more magic than you already are it could kill you." sebastian told the girls. "you'll both kill people."
"i don't care." faye almost shouted.
"i would've just used you to bring everyone back from aster del, faye. but you wouldn't be as reliable for what i had planned so, it came to this."
"shut the fuck up." she yelled. "i don't care what your plan is, because it won't work."
"okay. so what are you gonna do? kill me. then what? destroy the school?" he asked.
faye's wings shot off zaps of electricity.
"your friends are outside fighting for you."
"technically, her friends are inside now." faye heard terra say, but she didn't want to take her eyes off sebastian.
