Expecting and reality
The work back didn't take as long.
Icy had offered bloom to help with the bag's the second they turned back.
"Soo can I help you with the cooking?", icy asked after a few minutes of silence, "I never was grate in the kitchen if you'd asked my sisters they would tell you I can't even cook noodles" she chuckled."but I can help you with the preparation. Like cutting shit"
"Yea sure! I'd appreciate that a lot" blooms eyes light up.the rest of the walk they chatted about random things.
It was easy to keep a conversation running with icy.
She was naturally funny.
Back in the cabin they put the groceries away.
"I also bought some snacks", bloom waived with 3 packages of chips and ice cream. "I hope you like lemon"
"Actually that's my favorite flavor" icy grinned.
"Cool! I'm glad. Wanna cook now?"" Bloom gathered a few bowls and knives.
"Yea works for me", icy grabbed the veggies. "So I guess cutting them?"
"Yes, cut them the way you like them.", bloom said.
Cooking together was fun. Icy helped as much as she could. But most of the time she was standing beside bloom watching over her shoulder and tried the progress.
"Yummmmyyy." Icy was happily trying the chill.
"That really tastes good. Were did you lern to cook like that?" Icy asked wile puting plates in the table.
"Back home in earth my mom teached me. I mean Vanessa." Blooms voice changed.
"Hey you ok?" Icy stopped her work and looked at the ginger.
"Yes I'm ok. Food is ready". She swiped away a tear hoping icy didn't saw. But she did
Icy decided to not mention it. Instead she smiled. "Grate it smells amazing!"
Bloom smiled:"thank you so much". She took the plates and filled them with the steaming hot chilli.
Icy put some drinks on the table and sat down.
Bloom sat down as well.
Half an hour pased without any communication between the two of them.
"Ok. Enough", icy slammed her hands in the table."talk now. You look like a sad puppy. I can't stand that"
"Well you didn't tell me anything so why should I tell you about my shit? Bloom replied harshly.
"Wow kitty keep the claws in.", Icy raised her eyebrow.
Bloom growned. A little bit of Steam blew out of her nouse.
The albino woman shrecet back . "Ok fine you got a point. Therapy session it is. That should also help with combination magic. The more we know each other the better that will work."
"Fine". Bloom said still with anger in her voice.
The rest of the meal staid quiet.
Quietly they washed the dishes.
"Well? How shall we start this?"icy took a seat on the sofa. Her loose t shirt was hanging over her shoulder reveal the stripe of a sports bra.
Bloom shruget her shoulders.
"I suppose I'll start. I found out my earth parents aren't my real parents. Some real fucked up shit happened to me. So to say Dakar, who fucking kitnaped me and turned me into a marionette. Than I got groomed multiple times. By Avalon and valtor. Valtor manipulating me about my parents. My friends abandoning me. My ex cheated on me. My powers are hard to manage.I guess that was pretty traumatic"
"Starting with the heavy shit huh" icy commented.
"But ofcurse that was fucked up. Well you definitely had the worse parst. "do you want to get into detail?."
"Guess getting things of my mind will help" bloom grabbed a pillow and hugged it.
"Well... It was horrifying to find out I'm not my parents daughter. I was afraid of who my real parents are. I don't know them and that terrified me. Valtor being the only person who could actually tell me something about them was really frustrating. Dakar really fucked with my head. I was conscious the whole time my body just wouldn't do that what I wanted it to. Umm then ofcours..." Bloom keept talking for what felt like hours, unwrapping her mental health and thoughts.
"Oh wow I'm so sorry. I know a lot of those things are my fould"
Icy stared at the floor.
"No you good. The things you did weren't so bad. Besides you also went through shit yourself"
"Always getting underestimate and your family situation. But I'm also a very delusional person and I'm forgiving so you are ok"
Bloom smiled.
"You should get more selfish. You need some self-esteem" the white haired woman stood up. "You are an incredible beautiful and powerful woman. You are funny and you will get your shit together and start to higher your standards. That way you will get even more powerful"
"You really are sweet thank you" bloom giggled "But you know you're right. Let's get started in the whole combination magic and upgrading our powers. I feel ready as I ever be to slap Valtors ass.
"Yes let's kill that bastard" icy let herself fall into the sofa again.
"You know about that. I thought about it and death seems so easy for him. It's a fast way out any he doesn't deserve that. U thought we should curse him take away his power let him suffer. Make him feel pain and drive him crazy. I want him to beg to die but I will not grant him that" the gingers face turned into a big evil grin.
Icy stared at her:"omg were was this bloom? I love her. You are evil. Fuck yes let's make him pay"...
The days passed and than weeks. Most of the time those two tried to figure a way out to make Valtor feel internal pain.
"Hey hot stuff lock at that" icy raised the book in her hand."bind ing spells" she read
Bloom laid her book away
"A binding spell is black magic if you use it the right way. This binding is the blackest of them all. It makes the target feel pain and suffering constantly forever stripping them if there power. But beware you could loose yourself" icy read
"That sounds interesting but binding spells? I thought witches used the Magic you use not the old on" bloom mentioned
"Technically yeas. Not many people know about old magi. Infact I'm surprised you know about it. Old magic is stronger than our but much more unpredictable and there is not much information" icy explained
"I see. So in order for that we need to actually find such a spell and in my chase be a witch. Grate" blooms voice said in a sarcastic tone.
"There is on way to become a witch if you are a fairy. You'd also be much stronger" icy was deep in her thoughts. "You remember that girl i turned into a pumpkin? The little on with the weird as Bob?"
Bloom was thinking"Myrtle! Yea ofcurse she became a fairy"
"It is a risi process but you would be much stronger and you have your powes under control. You need to be sure you can never come back again" icy warned her
"I will gladly take that risk to hurt tha man. How do we turn me into a witch?"
