CALIA FELT HAIR BE removed from her face, causing her eyes to slowly open, blinking a couple times, trying to see clearly. Her eyes kinda stung as she did so.

When she opens her eyes, she's met with both greenish blue and blue eyes. Their were were so gentle and they looked at her like she was the most precious thing to them. That's how they've been looking at her since last week.

The two boys have done everything to help the girl and cheer her up, they haven't left her side, unless she was using the bathroom. They got the work she needed for her classes and even filled her in on training techniques. She couldn't be more grateful for the two boys in front of her.

"Wake up, my darlin'" Riven's soft voice rings through her, bringing a small smile to
her lips.

"Is that a smile I see?" Sky teases as he pushes a stray hair behind her ear, her smile getting a bit wider.

"No." Calia playfully pushes his hand away before she digs her head further into Riven's neck. "I want to sleep."

"Nope." Riven sits up, making her fall onto the bed. "You need to get up. No more laying down and sleeping."

"You have to actually do something, love." Sky sits her up. "And if we have to force you, we will."

"Well..." Calia runs a hand through her hair. "You do know I like playing rough."

Riven chuckles as Sky just looks at her with his mouth slightly opened before he picks her up bridal style making her squeal as she lets out a laugh.

"Riven!" Calia calls to him. "Help me!"

"Sorry, beautiful." Riven shrugs. "You did it to yourself."

Calia gives him a playful glare as Sky walks them over to the bathroom, Riven following. Calia looks between them. "Shower?"

"I don't know if I want to see Riven fully naked yet." Sky jokes as he places the girl down.

"Man, everyone wants to see me naked." Riven pulls his shirt off. "Including you, just admit."

"I would never admit anything that would
boost your ego, more than it already is." Sky remarks.

"Sky, my handsome boy." Calia pats his cheek. "You can't talk about big ego's. You have one also."

Sky gives her an offended look. "I do not!"

"Yes you do."

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Where is it?" Sky asks as he stands back to back with Calia and Riven.

"I don't know yet." Calia says as they turn in a slow circle. "Maybe if Riven kept one of his hands off my ass, I would know."

Riven quickly removes his hand. "I was simply trying to give you motivation."

"Well, it's doing the opposite, my love." Calia slaps his hand away as he goes to do it again.

"Ouu, the pet name." Riven smiles. "I guess you liked it more than I thought."

"Shut up." Calia smacks the back of his head as Sky laughs at the two.

"Stop being a distraction, Riven." Sky nudges him. "Save it for the bed."

"Oh, gosh." Calia groans as the two boys laugh. "Just shut up and stay close."

They comply and Calia finally hears the sound of soft growling. She warns the boys who take out the swords, with no hesitation. Calia following, also getting ready to use her powers. She let's out a gasp when a Burned one snarls right in front of her a few feet away.

They get into position as it comes running at them. Calls throws her hand out, her white light shoot electricity at the thing, which causes the Burned one to drop to its knees, but quickly stands up again, running at them.

Calia throws her hands out again and this time the Burned one is levitating in the air. Calia gives the boys a nod and Sky swings at its head as Riven goes straight for the heart. In unison, Sky chops it's head off and Riven slices down it's chest.

Calia let's go as the Burned one drops to the floor, Sky and Riven go back to the girls side, taking her hand protectively, watching as the Burned one disburses into ashes meaning they successfully killed it.

"Are you okay?" The two boys question the girl, knowing that she hasn't used her magic in a couple days and what she did wasn't as easy as it looked.

"Never better." Calia gives them a smile. "And you two?"

"Never better." The two copy her. Calia playfully smacks their arms as they laugh.

"Professor Harvey." Riven calls to him. "You can come out now."

The teacher walks out, a wide smile on his face. He claps for them. "Well done, you three. You guys are the first to finally complete all the tasks on their first try."

"I think it's clear to say that me and my minions are the best at Alfea." Calia smiles proudly.

"Minions?!" The boys exclaim.

Calia gives them an innocent smile as Professor Harvey goes to continue. "I'd go as far as to say the same, Calia. You all just need more self control..."

"Riven." Sky and Calia cough out.

"I was in perfect control of myself, actually." Riven says with a smirk.

"Calia, you need to work on hitting harder with your magic, okay?" Professor Harvey tilts his head at her.

Calia nods slowly. "Yes, sir."

He smiles and begins to walk away. "Great job, you three."

"I knew I was getting worse." Calia huffs as they start walking out the maze.

"You did good, beautiful." Sky takes her hand and kisses the back of it. "Don't let what he said get into your head."

"Exactly." Riven adds, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "He doesn't have powers, meaning he doesn't know how hard it is for you to unleash them and actually get yourself to kill something in a matter of seconds."

"You're strong." Sky continues. "And you know what you're doing. Don't beat yourself up over it."

"I should've never went with Bloom and Beatrix on that ride." Calia intertwines her fingers with Riven's. "They've been watching me like a hawk and I've ruined my reputation. They probably think I'm apart of whatever evil plan she and Bloom have."

"Maybe they think you're gonna help
her carve her name on the moon with a laser?" Sky teases.

"Or steal the Eiffel Tower?" Riven adds, grinning. "I wouldn't put that past you."

"And you both thought that what you said was funny?" Calia gives them a playful glare.

"Yeah." "Yup."

"You guys are both dicks." Calia walks away from them, they whine at the lost of her touch.

"But we're your dicks!" Riven says as they rush after her. Sky is quick to do the same. Calia runs as they chase her around the field, they ignore all the eyes watching them as they simply live in the moment. Calia was actually smiling and laughing and the boys were going to take in the moment and help her enjoy and relish it.

Silva from afar watching with a small smile on his lips. He was happy to see his daughter laughing, the sound bringing him joy. He hasn't talked to her in days, but at least now he knew she was doing okay, by what he could see at least.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Later that night, Calia was able to sneak out of the boy's dorm room and meet up with Bloom. The girl said that they should talk and reluctantly, she agreed. She wish she hadn't.

"Where are you taking me?" Calia questions as Bloom drags her out of the building, her hand wrapped around the girls wrist, tightly.

"We're going to go talk to Beatrix." Bloom says before she could even process the words that came out of her mouth.

"What?" Calia abruptly stops, making Bloom stop also. "I'm not talking to her. You said me and you were going to talk. I thought you were going to apologize, for what you did."

"I was, but I also figured that you'd want to talk to her, know more about your mother." Bloom responds, she pulls on Calia's wrist, but Calia takes her wrist out of her grip.

"No!" Calia exclaims. "I don't care about what Beatrix has to say and I don't care about my mother and or Rosalind. If you couldn't tell their bad news and I'm staying away. You should too."

"This can help me find who I am...who my birth parents were." Bloom tries.

"They're dead! What does it matter?" Calia wraps her sweater around her tighter. "You also know who you are! You're just second guessing yourself because the things you want aren't making an appearance in your life and maybe it's because you're searching for things that don't actually exist! Live in the moment, Bloom. You have parents here that love you, that care for you. You're gonna end up hurting yourself and the others around you."

"Calia, your dad is lying to you." Bloom points at her, her face red. "Don't you get that?"

"You ever think that he's lying or keeping things from me to protect me from the actual truth that would be an outcome I don't want to hear?" Calia tilts her head. "My mom is gone and I don't care where she is. Not anymore. If she's alive, if she's dead. I don't care because I have people in my life that love and care for me more than ever."

Bloom scoffs, Calia could feel the jealousy radiating off her. "Like Sky?"

"Yes, Sky and Riven. My two soulmates." Calia clarifies. "I'm not going to go looking for information that will end up causing havoc and hurting me. You're going to find information and it's going to hurt you more than help. Leave it alone, Bloom. It's for the best."

Bloom goes to speak, but Calia holds her hand up and walks away, back into the building. She's had enough of the Peters girl. She was going to break Alfea down and tear it down. With Beatrix by her side, it would be worse. The whole school was in for a treat.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"You like holding that big stick?" Calia heard the familiar sound of one of her lovers voice. She places her training stick down besides her as she turns.

"I like holding yours better." She smirks at the sight of Riven's face.

"You're getting better at the comebacks, darlin'." Riven gets over his shock.

"I learned from the best." Calia smiles at as she walks closer to him.

"What are you practicing for?" Riven eyes the stick in her hand.

"I haven't practiced with this thing in a while." Calia shrugs. "I just want to get better. I need to get better, just in case, you know? Gotta be more than just a fairy, according to Dowling."

"You are more than just a fairy." Riven cups her right cheek. "Just because they don't care what you want to be in this place. They just want power and you are the strongest one of them all. They only want you to be what they make you. Don't let Dowling stop you from being you."

Calia looks up at him with loving eyes, she could feel how much he hated Dowling. Calia leans up and brings the boy into a soft kiss before pulling away. They could feel the stares. "What would I do without you, my love? You always know how to bring me into my peace of mind."

"I'm only doing what you do to me." Riven pecks her lips again before he pulls away. "You are now being taken care of by me and Sky. We got you now, princess. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Not anymore."

"I'm getting use to having you guys back into my life, permanently this time." Calia takes his hand from her face and holds it in his hand. "It's weird, but I'm working on it. It's because of you both I'm currently not losing my mind, so thank you."

I love you. Riven goes to say, but catches himself. He smile down at his love before pulling her into yet another kiss. They both smile into the kiss before she pulls away from him.

She wraps her arms around his neck. "You know I'm always here for you...so is Sky, you don't have to hide your emotions and keep everything to yourself. You deserve to be heard, and with us, your every word is heard and we will do anything to make sure that you're heard by everyone else. You aren't alone, Riv. Never will be. We're kinda stuck for life."

Riven let's out a low chuckle. "And I appreciate everything. You're my everything. So is Sky, but enough with the sappy stuff. Train with me?"

"Way to ruin the moment." Calia says sarcastically. "But of course."

With a peck to her lips, Riven goes to get a stick of his own, Calia hitting him in the back causing him to stumble forward. Riven sends her a playful glare as he grabs a stick.

"Who likes holding a big stick now?"

"I prefer Sky's."

Calia is now the one to let out a shocked laugh as they get into fighting position. Riven chuckling at her reaction.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Calia currently sat in her room, reading her mother's journal. She read all about her powers, but there was nothing she didn't already know.

She debated taking the journal to her father to read, but then she realized they haven't spoken in a while and if she was to bring this up to him, he would just take to book and shoot her down again. She couldn't have that.

Calia would be lying if she said Bloom's words about wanting to know more about her mother weren't currently running through her head. She may have been slightly lying when she said she didn't care.

Well, she didn't. She didn't care if her mother was truly alive or not, but she did care about her history and wanting to know more about her past and how she was truly linked to Rosalind. All she knew was that she was also linked to Sky's father which didn't surprise her at all.

"Ugh." Calia let's out a frustrated groan, throwing the book across the room. "Stupid book! Stupid mommy issues!"

Calia runs a sweaty hand through her hair as she lays down on her bed, moving her eyes around the very empty room. She sighs sadly. "God, I miss Stells. I need her more than ever, right about now."

As if her prayer were heard, a painting she had on the wall fell from its nail causing her to jump up in fright as she stared at the painting on the floor. A few seconds later, a voice was heard. "I'm right here, Cal."

Calia felt her body freeze, tears welling up in her eyes as she slowly turns towards the voice. She felt her heart stop when she saw her blonde best friend. "Stella."
