Faya was walking around the courtyards, her raging headache disappeared and started to have better control of her magic. Farah had been helping her with using her telekinesis, controlling her emotions and reading thoughts and memories without having to deal with all the other thoughts and memories. Faya still had a long way to go but she was getting better quickly. She sat in the dining hall, music coursing in her ears which distracted her mind and allowed her to focus on the words of the music. 

Bloom sat in front of Faya, gesturing for the mind fairy to remove the headphones, staring at her intently. Faya furrowed her eyebrows, feeling uncomfortable under her gaze. She placed the headphones on the table and stared at Bloom. 

"What can I do for you?" She asked with a smile, Bloom smiled back and spoke. 

"I was wondering if you'd help me with something." Faya's eyes flashed purple, she stared at Bloom and shook her head. Faya smiled slightly, glad she could read Bloom's thoughts without dealing with everyone else. 

"Bloom, no. I'm not going there, I'm done going beyond the barrier. Too much bad shit has happened when we do go past it. Bloom, I get that you wanna know more about your past, but this isn't right. I'm sorry, I'm not going." 

"Faya, please. You gotta find out about yours, why can't I?"

"1) I said I didn't want to go 2) Bloom, it was fucking painful for me to go there and go through that. You can do what you want, but I'm not coming." Bloom went to speak again but closed her mouth immediately seeing Faya's stern look. 

"We need to do this, Faya what if there is something else about you and your magic." Faya huffed, glaring at the fire fairy. Faya grabbed her headphones, staring at her one final time. 

"Bloom, stop pushing it. I am not helping you with this." Faya placed her headphones back on, swaying her head to the music and grabbed out her book, reading the pages, the music just so happened to match the emotion in the fictional world. A few hours later Faya was hitting a punching bag, unaware of the Specialist watching her with adoration. 

"Work on that left hook kick a bit more." She turned swiftly turned around, staring at Sky as she focused on not dropping a stone on his head. He looked up, seeing the stone and smirked playfully as he walked closer to her. 

"Congrats on the magic control stuff." A pink blushed tinted her cheeks, a gleeful smile on her lips. 

"Thanks, Sky." She grinned, he walked over to her, ignoring the thud of the rock and smiled brightly at her. Faya grabbed his hand, dragging him down to the ground and sat across from him. His blue eyes sparkled, his blonde hair making them pop with their gorgeous colour. Faya shook away the thoughts, looking at the grass for a moment, before looking back up at him. 

"So, anything planned for today?" He asked curiously, she shook her head smiling gently. 

"Not really, how about yourself?" She questioned, the girl tilting her head as she watched him with an observational look. 

"Same." She giggled at his tone, the smile on her lips never fading away. 

"So you've been here for a little while, what do you think?" He asked, deciding to sit next to her. 

"I love it, the people are nice, I feel accepted here, I feel comfortable with wanting to be myself." He took her hand, delicately tracing his thumb over her knuckles and gave her hand a squeeze. 

"I'm glad, that's good, it really is. Faya, you belong here and you should feel accepted here." A giggle escaped her lips, she placed her head on his shoulder, his warmth fighting against the goosebumps that hit her skin. 

"Thank you for everything you've done for me." She whispered, staring off at the trees. 

"You are welcome." He whispered back. 

A little while later, Faya was walking around the school, humming slightly with a wide smile on her lips. Sky had been walking around the halls with her, hearing more about her life when she went to a human school. He had to deal with Riven, so they parted ways, to do whatever the hell it was they had to do. 

She yelped slightly, groaning as the back of her head hit the stone wall and stared at Beatrix. 

"Make a sound and you'll be in a lot of pain." Faya couldn't see any item nearby to levitate, so she knew she was screwed. 

"Now, you will be coming with me to Aster Dell and you will not say anything to Bloom. Understand?" Faya nodded, glaring at Beatrix and followed her along to a car. She sat in the back, staring out the window. She knew she could easily get herself out of the car, but she couldn't risk getting herself or Bloom injured. 

Each time Faya tried to read Beatrix's mind, all she could do was flinching away from the crackle of sparks. Beatrix looked in the rear-view mirror and smirked at the mind fairy. Faya glared and huffed quietly. Beatrix abruptly stopped the car, hopped out with Bloom and waited for Faya. 

"Hurry up." Beatrix hissed, Faya got out, her eyes widening at the sight of everything. She followed the other two, gawking at the beautiful sights. 

"Aster Dell was a town, right? Are you sure this is the right place?" Bloom asked.

"I'm positive." Faya looked around, seeing how far she could get and if they'd lead to anywhere safe. But she didn't see anything on the way to the mountains so she doubted it. 

"How could a town be marked on a map if it's on the side of a mountain?" Bloom wasn't paying attention to Beatrix who had started to create an electricity ball and Faya stumbled back seeing some skeletons sink into the ground. 

"Beatrix! What the fuck do you have planned?" Faya shouted, almost about to use her magic to shove her away but Bloom shot a fireball in between the two, causing Faya to look at the fire fairy feeling betrayed. Faya turned around, seeing a forcefield break down and old stones of broken buildings. 

"It was a beautiful place, full of people just trying to live their lives. Till one winter when Burned ones surrounded the settlement, and a military unit from Alfea decided that destroying the creatures was more important than the lives of the people here." 

"How do you know what went through the soldiers' thoughts? Perhaps they didn't know there were people here, or they weren't the full cause of the destruction. You can't blame all of that one everyone in that group, for all you could've known there were most likely good people in that group. People who didn't want to go through with all of this." Faya spoke her mind, catching the glare Beatrix gave her.

"This isn't real. You're making this happen somehow." 

"I'm piercing the magic veil that Queen Luna placed to hide the atrocities that happened here. Think about that, a leader of our realm tried to erase a war crime. I was born here and my familt died here. Two days before your First world birthday." 

"So, you think that my family was killed here?" 

"Not think. Know. Cause everyone here died. Except me and you."

"I don't understand, how could you know?'

"She doesn't she's bullshitting." Faya knew the air fairy was trouble, she knew the way she presented herself that she was up to no good. Beatrix made sure Bloom wasn't looking and quickly clicked her fingers and looked at Faya's hands and the small electricity floating around her wrists. Zapping her every ten minutes. Faya winced, it was like she had cuffs on. They held her wrists in front of her, the strings of electricity making an eight around her wrists. The top hole of the eight around one hand and the other around her other hands. 

It was invisible, but if she moved her arms the light would shimmer of the blue sparks. 

"I saw it. I saw the bodies, the death. Then someone scooped me up, carried me away. As we ran, I saw them walking through the carnage like conquering heroes."

"Who did you see?"  

"Dowling, Silva, Harvey." Faya refused to even take any of the words that came out of Beatrix's mouth into account. 

"You were a baby. How would you know if that was real?" 

"Cause the woman who saved me, used her magic to burn the memory into my mind. Sound familiar?" 

"Rosalind?" 

"She rescued you?" 

"She rescued us. She has a crisis of conscience, couldn't bring herself to murder innocent people, no matter how many burned ones they could kill the process. But Dowling, Silva and Harvey didn't agree. They staged a coup, carried out the mission."

"No, I know that they've lied to me, Beatrix, but they're not monsters." 

"Then why are they covering it up?" 

"Because, something obviously did happen, but not the shit that you are saying." Faya snapped, she had never seen anything of the sorts in the three adults' minds. Never once reading thoughts about the guilt of hiding the deaths. 

"Faya, don't you think for a minute that your past is fully uncovered, you've still got a hell of a lot more shit to come flying at you."
