Rattle lake,
Le Wilde forest, Y city.
On this chilly night, the wildlife close to the lake had retreated only watching from afar. Why?
Above the lake were two beams of light circling around each other. One was green and the other bright red. The lake was half frozen 6 minutes ago. A closer look reveals that the two beams of light are actually Evelyn and Vanessa in an intense fight. Vanessa was the one receiving the short end of the stick. She had a few injuries but excitement and determination were in her eyes. She had refused to back down after falling into the lake many times. As they fought in mid air, they were receiving new memories belonging to fairy of their kind and they kept putting it to use.
Splash!
Vanessa fell into the lake again for the nth time. She fell into the unfrozen part but the water was too chilly. She swam to the surface again and her wings flapped rapidly ridding the water from her wings and in no time, her wings dried up and flames appeared on her wings. Her injuries also healed.
"Evelyn, I want more" Vanessa said, a smile appeared on her red lips
"Oh, that's quite good coz I'm not yet tired. Baby girl, you really have to catch with me soon alright?" Evelyn said in ridicule.
"This time use all your strength and I'll use mine. " said Vanessa.
Evelyn has no problem with it. This was the final round. Evelyn was confident though of winning but she didn't plan to hurt her BFF so badly. Making her admit defeat was enough. To be honest, her pent-up ire had been long pushed out. Now she felt inner calm.
"Bestie, prepare" Evelyn stretched her hands sideways and two lotuses appeared above her palms. Suddenly, water from the unfrozen part of the lake rose and Vanessa was forced to fly out of it. The arisen water formed the shape of a lotus and rotated slowly. Then the frozen part of the lake also produced an ice lotus.
"Woah!" Vanessa exclaimed. So this is what it meant for her bestie to be serious.
"Don't admire, take this BFF," Evelyn brought her hands close to each other and launched the four lotuses at Vanessa.
"This is only getting better" Vanessa said as she dodged the lotuses. Evelyn kept sending 4 lotuses at Vanessa with speed, not letting her catch her breath.
Vanessa did several stunts in the air while trying hard to avoid them though she got hit by a few.
"Vanny, your endurance is adorable" commented Evelyn as she launch another four lotuses at Vanessa who quickly dodged them narrowly.
"I think you are mocking me, bestie" Vanessa said as she did five back flips mid air and then hid behind a large tree.
"Ready to give up yet?" Evelyn asked.
"No, try hit me when we play hide and seek" without waiting for Evelyn to respond, Vanessa took off in a flash.
Evelyn retracted her lotuses.
"I'll get you soon," she muttered and then gave chase.
They flew around the safe parts of the forest and whenever Evelyn saw Vanessa, she immediately launch two lotuses at her.
Vanessa did not dodge some of them successfully but they did not hurt her. She just felt cold. It's Evelyn's way of saying 'Haha, I caught you, bestie!'
Suddenly, Vanessa felt her heart ache so bad that her vision became blurry and her head dizzy. Evelyn saw her leave her hiding spot and wanted to launch an attack on Vanessa but decided against it.
Vanessa could no longer focus and the speed of her flapping wings slowed down at an alarming rate. She fell into the lake, no longer having the desire to fly.

"Vanessa!" Evelyn yelled in shock and speed dove into the lake.

Two seconds later, Evelyn flew out of the lake carrying Vanessa (who had left her fairy form and now dressed in pink chiffon night gown and bare footed), in bridal style.

"Vanessa, please be alright," Evelyn said as she flew towards home in a flash.

3 minutes later.

Evelyn lay Vanessa on the bed but she subconsciously sat in a meditative pose and tried to heal herself but the pain in her chest was too much.

"Evelyn..." Vanessa said telepathically.

"Lisa...save her. She's... in grave danger. Go!"

"Again?" Evelyn exclaimed telepathically.

To be honest she didn't want to see that rat-faced man she (Lisa) had for a daddy.

"In secret... save her" Vanessa muttered and a flame shield appeared around her startling Evelyn.

"I'll heal myself, go save Lisa"

Evelyn sighed and nodded.

"Fine! But promise not to do anything stupid, alright?"

"I... promise!"

Hearing this, Evelyn flew out through the open window in a flash. Seeing that her BFF had left, Vanessa coughed out blood.


McDermott hospital, Y city.

Lisa's ward in the VIP section.

As expected, Lisa's condition had suddenly become terrible. Her body was cold but she was barely breathing. Jack had given orders to save his baby at all costs and this time he sat with her, rubbing her palm hoping to give her warmth.

"Do something, you dummies" Jack barked for the millionth time startling the doctors. Ah, life is too hard. Why can't he let them do their jobs properly huh? He keeps barking at them like this, how can they help Lisa.

At this moment, Evelyn flew in through the open door. She's invisible to all of them in her fairy form.

Her target is Lisa so she immediately flew above the bed to see Lisa's condition. She's turning blue but still breathing. This is not Lisa throwing a tantrum at her Daddy. It must be a...

Evelyn was afraid to admit her own thought. A villain was targeting little Lisa. Was it because of Lisa's healing ability. As of now, Lisa isn't capable of healing herself coz her powers had been sealed by the unknown evil person. Lisa is really in big danger. It seems Vanessa indeed has to babysit Lisa to protect her coz if Lisa dies, Vanessa who is connected to her will feel like dying too. She by no means wanted to lose her bestie. Since Vanny gave her a task to help Lisa out of her predicament, she decided to do it diligently, just this once!

She exhaled and stretched the hand containing the calm lotus and the crest on her thigh disappeared and appeared above the lotus.

"The waves' calmer does its magic. Amazing the apathetic. Healing the destined one" she said and immediately, the lotus and crest entered Lisa's right hand that Jack was holding and rubbing.

Evelyn kept repeating the same action of sending the calm lotus into Lisa's right arm for another ten minutes and then finally, Lisa's condition stabilized and the doctors sighed in relief. Thank heavens that this princess was well now or else who knows what Jack would do?

"Leave!" said Jack coldly and the medical staff scurried out of the room, not forgetting to close the door behind them.

Jack sighed and drew near to kiss Lisa's right cheek,

"Lisa, my dear. I love you. I'll be a better Daddy from now on. Don't worry, your mummy is coming tomorrow. Behave when you're with her, k?" he muttered and then kissed her forehead.

Evelyn who was about leaving saw this scene and scoffed.

"Hmph! I'll still take my revenge on you, Jack Reynolds" she said before leaving through the slightly open window and closing it back in a flash. Of course, Jack didn't hear her.

A few minutes later, Lisa opened her beautiful eyes but her dad had returned to his cold nature but she smiled.

"Daddy, Lisa loves you too. Just remember to bring mummy soon. Kisses!" she said and then fell asleep.

"You..." Jack didn't know what to say at this girl's words and he just left. His bodyguard and a nurse came in at his command, to wait upon the young princess.

Evelyn made sure to return the Rattle lake in Le Wilde forest back to its normal state but as for the burnt vegetation... eh... she can't rectify that. She's done her best hehe.

She flew back to her mansion, into Vanessa's room and then closed the window. Vanesa was no longer on the bed or could she be found at any corner of the room. Evelyn became worried. Could it be the villain was mad that she saved Lisa and targeted Vanny instead? No, it can't be. She didn't want to imagine such a thing. She flew to the bathroom door and knocked.

"Evelyn... your back" Vanessa's telepathic words came to her and Evelyn relaxed and then tensed up again.

"Are you alright? Did any evil person come here? Where are you right now?" Evelyn threw a lot of questions to Vanessa telepathically.

"Baby, I'm fine and having a cold bath" Vanessa replied.

"On this chilly night?' Evelyn frowned.

"Yeah. Did you forget? I' a flame fairy"

"So? That gives you no right not to care about your health," Evelyn thundered.

"Eish! No being feisty here, tigress. Thanks BFF, for saving my Lisa"

"Hmph! You better hurry up. I need a human pillow tonight" Evelyn marched out of the room after returning to her human self.

"If you ain't scared of being burnt, then I don't find being a sofa too. I'm all yours my lady!" Vanessa's teasing words came to Evelyn telepathically but she marched away faster.

Inside the bathroom.

Vanessa is sitting in a big bathtub that has 3 staircases.

The silver tap is letting out really chilly water but the water in the bathtub is smoking hot Yes, Flames that refused to be quenched are coming out of Vanessa's naked body. (A/n: "Hey, don't fantasise about her. She's for Jack exclusively. Get it? :) )

Her hair has become bright red and lengthened up to her knees. Her eyes were glowing so much that all you could see in place of eyeballs (i.e pupils, retina) was just flaming light. Her face was no longer the same. She has become more beautiful than before. The kind of beauty that kings would die for.

10 minutes later,

Vanessa got off the bathtub and stared at the ruined, deformed bathtub with a sigh. She decided to use the shower instead and in less than a minute the showerhead melted and fell to the floor.

"Guess that's all for the night," she muttered to herself and took her bathrobe which burned to ashes in a minute.

"How do I stop this?" she groaned. Immediately, the flames coming from her body disappeared and her face reverted to normal. But the same couldn't be said for her hair. Instead of pure blonde, her hair was now strips of blonde and scarlet and it made her look sexy.

"Whatever" she came out of the bathroom after tying a towel. Her hair and body were already dry long ago. She headed to the changing room to have a change of clothes.

5 minutes later, she came out in green pyjamas with a pink beret covering her hair.

The door also opened at this time and Evelyn came in bouncing, dressed in a yellow lace nightgown.

"Bestie, remember your promise, you'll be my pillow for the night," said Evelyn.

"I think teddy bear sounds better. You get to hug me to sleep."

"Oh. That's good too. Follow me to my room, dear cuddle bear" Evelyn faked a commander's authoritative voice and marched out of the room. Vanessa followed after sighing helplessly. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day full of surprises.
