 Within seconds, the trio was outside of Reed's school. It was an amazing form of travel, unrivaled in practicality but Lucy was initially distracted by the churning of her stomach. She leaned into Elendil slightly, not wanted to unbalance either of them, but needing the support to feel grounded. Once the nausea passed, she pushed her hair back, her voice regaining its strength as she said, "Here we are..." They would have to walk for a bit to get to the headmaster's office, but Lucy found that she didn't mind at all. She had only been on the island once before to visit Yvette, and that had been when she was very young. Everything she looked at was new and interesting, holding her attention the entire time.{ooc: n/a}

Tabitha stood straight as Elendil helped his girlfriend. After a moment the mother looked at the girl. "I always feel sick after teleporting." She commented as she looked around the area. "It's been a while." She commented with a sigh. Elendil nodded. "I was an exchange student here." He commented The pink haired witch smiled. "Come on I think I remember where the headmasters office is. I spent plenty of time in there." She said before heading in the direction she thought it was.

Lucy followed closely behind Tabitha, her expression open as she took in the surrounding with wide eyes. It was such a beautiful island, the campus was in such impeccable care, she was sure it would rival the grounds of her own homeland. There were students everywhere, the hustle and bustle of a school day making for an addicting feeling. Idly, she wished she had known more about Reed's, she might have attended the school herself. But her father hadn't wanted her to go so far from home when she was still underage, and she was well aware that he was only worried she would make the same trouble he had.
"You were close to Len, when he was in charge?" she asked the witch with curiosity. It was common knowledge that the dark wizard had spent decades here, but she hadn't known of Tabby's relationship to him. She supposed it made sense, any description of Len she had heard from family was that he was a good man, who would have helped her through the tough times. {ooc: n/a}

Tabitha looked at Elendil then at Lucy. Elendil was much closer to the wizard then she was. "I suppose so. He was a brilliant teacher and his mind could be ranked among the greatest such as the Imhotep, Reed, Merlin, and Waki, the founder of the Vega family." The woman commented. "He knew how to teach and he loved his students. He was happy when they found the straight within. He also had the challenge of teaching teen parents. It's no lie that Witches and Wizards are the most likely to be parents at a young age. When I was there there was Amy who had Lyn, Pierre who had Will and Rose, and there was me and your sister." The witch commented as Elendil lead them to Bellatrix office.

 Lucy held a small smile as Tabitha described Len and her time at Reed's. She hadn't realized that so many teenagers had become parents so young, but she supposed it made sense. They continued to walk for awhile, Lucy holding tight to Elendil's hand the entire time. A part of her was still worried, distracted by the test being run at home, but she focused on what they were doing, still managing to push back her concerns. Eventually, they came upon an office, and Lucy looked to Tabby. Were they allowed to just knock and walk in?
During her moments of trepidation, a woman approached the trio, her arms laden with several folders as she inspected the group. It was a new school year, and that meant the next month would be filled with the most hectic days of the semester. She wondered if the trio here were students? Maybe they were lost, or trying to get info. Shifting the weight of the papers in her arms, Bella addressed the group. "Can I help you-" she cut off, her eyes widening as she recognized the pink haired witch. "Tabitha!" the two had not been close, but after years of attending the same school and having many friends in common, it would take more than a decade or two for Bella's memory to fade. Plus, there were still many students who were fans of Tabby's, so Bellatrix had seen a few posters here and there of the witch.{ooc: n/a}

Elendil smiled and held his lovers hand as they walked. It didn't take long for the to find his old school principal. "Ah. Principal." He commented forgetting her last name. It had only been seven years too. Tabitha was surprise that the woman knew who she was. She didn't think she was sent that that much to the principals office. "Yes?" She asked oddly.

Bellatrix looked to the elf when he spoke, a smile stretching across her face as she recognized him. "Ah, Elendil! How's your art coming along? You know, if you'd like to take more classes here, you're always welcome." She squeezed past the group, opening the door to the office with her foot. She walked backwards into the room, her voice kind as she asked, "What can I do for you all?" She placed the folders on the desk with a slight thud, then faced the trio again. Her gaze eventually found Lucy's who was openly staring at her. If made Bella feel slightly uneasy, but she waited for an answer with patience.
Lucy studied Bella, making no attempt to hide the stares she gave the older woman. It was just so odd, finally meeting the one member of her family who had always been referred to as a myth. But she stood quietly, allowing Tabitha to do the talking for now, lest she scare away Bella, whom likely still wanted nothing to do with the Solindo's. That much was obvious, with the way her name placard read "Caliu" as a last name instead of ger birth name.

Elendil smiled gratefully. "You honor me well." The elf prince answered his former principal. "But I'm afraid that I've been very busy. My family's kingdom is in a state of panic and we're under heavy watchful eyes for our link to you-know-who." The prince said giving a mention to the wizard in his family. He then allowed Tabitha to talk and stepped back to Lucy. Tabitha checked the girl and frowned a bit. "Lucy. Don't stare like that. Approach your stare differently." The woman said as if she was her mom or at least a mom. The woman turned to Bellatrix. "Unfortunately I do not come on my own business, but in semi-official business." The woman started to explain to principal. "No one, hopefully, knows about this but us that are in this room." her voice lowered in volume to make it a point that they were careful on who said what to who. "It is a double edge sword this one." She mentioned as she moved closer. "We may be on a trail of your parents killers on one hand, but you may also still be in danger. We happened on this information by accident as we were looking for a way to stop the Solindo curse." The woman's hand moved into an invisible pocket and pulled out a picture. She thought maybe making something more human to Bellatrix. "I want to do it for them." She said as she showed a picture of her grandchild. "They were born yesterday. Isabella and Christian Valdez, the future heirs to the Solindo family. Though they are not Solindo's I want to make sure their future is secured after all the pain their stupid grandfather gave me." She wanted to so Bellatrix that she had reason to love and reason to hate just like she did. "The link to breaking the curse came down to you. You can be the one to break the curse, but if we're able to get this information then how easy would it be for someone else to find you. We're offering you protection should you need it. We'll even let you pick the Solindo's or the Starquest." Tabitha presented her case as she had the photo disappeared. She would l Bellatrix chew on the words. "Please keep a teleporter at hand. We believe that these people could be from your mother's family and are after you because you can stop the curse and they don't want that." Tabby gave five good reason to have Bellatrix work with them. First was safety, second love, third for justice, fourth was to get the last laugh on the Solindo's, and fifth was to do what the bad guys didn't want to happen.

Lucy huffed, crossing her arms as she bit back a retort. She supposed her staring was rude, but it wasn't her fault. It was just so strange seeing this woman, meeting her when she had worked so hard to stay away. Still, she listened, finally looking away as she listened to Tabby speak. Lucy stayed beside Elendil, wondering how he would have been like in school here.
Bellatrix gave a small nod to Elendil. She got regular updates about the situation from Amelia, and she did hope that everything was going well. Len had been her boss for years, he had trained her for this position personally. Still, she set aside her concern for now, choosing to focus on Tabby as she started to talk. The atmosphere of the room suddenly grew serious, and Bella immediately waved her hand, sealing the sounds of the room inside so that nobody outside the walls would hear what was being discussed.
The mention of her parent's deaths caused her brow to raise, her voice stern as she said. "The people who murdered my family were pillagers. It wasn't a targeted attack, and it certainly wasn't orchestrated by my mother's own family." the very suggestion seemed ridiculous, and she wondered if this was turning out to be a cruel joke, or maybe even a delusion cooked up by the group in front of her. But as Tabby continued on, it became clear that she was serious, and was doing this for her grandchildren, born only a day ago. "I am sorry you got involved with the Solindo's." she said, her gaze taking the photo of the two infants. They were so young, but Bella felt bad for them. They were heirs of the family she despised, destined to be raised and shaped by royalty. "But I don't see how I can help you. Only my cousins know-" she cut off, realizing something in the middle of her statement. "Only two people in this world know that I'm a Solindo." Her voice was contemplative, her gaze moving to Lucy as she realized that she was the only unrecognizable person in the room. "Who are you?"
There was a brief moment of panic as she was singled out, but Lucy knew that it was time for the truth. "Lucianna Solindo. Seth's daughter." she said, her expression earnest as she added, "He told me about your father when I was very young. He told me that you had lived, raised by humans outside of the Veil until he met you here." She paused, searching for the right words to add. Eventually, she spoke up again, her tone serious. "Everything Tabby has said is right. They could find you at any time. Once they connect that Bella Caliu is also Bellatrix Solindo, you'll be targeted."
Several seconds passed in silence, Bella clearly thinking about everything put to her. She had managed to live a good life so far, avoiding the Solindo's and everything they stood for. But perhaps Tabby was right, and it worth her cooperation for the children who had nothing wrong..."What do you need?"{ooc: n/a}

Tabby knew that this didn't work well and smiled. " Well if you've studied human history then you'd know it's possible. The Boston Tea party was an act of rebellion in which English colonist dressed as American Indians and dumped tea into Boston harbor." The woman commented. Sometimes the act of villainy was done dressed as another group. "I bet you could as John on more examples." the woman commented. She would get Bella to open her mind. The woman looked downwards and took in her thoughts before commenting. "In theory if the curse is broken they have no reason to attack, unless it's in retaliation, but the young had fewer reasons to continue compared to the elders who hold onto the old ways. If you are unaware. The curse states that there can never be two males in a generation and it's been upheld by your mother's family. Funny to think they attacked your father to keep it that way since he was an easier target." The witch pointed out.

Bella simple stood still, her arms crossed as she listened to a lesson on history. She refrained from pointing out that she knew human history better than her own, since she was raised by a family outside of the Veil, and she had managed to snag a rather high end job in education. But instead of lashing out in her pride, her mind was still whirring with the idea that her family's death hadn't been a random act of violence. It had taken her decades to come to terms with the fact that bad things could happen to anyone...and now this witch was saying that it had been orchestrated. The mention of John made her look up, remembering where she was and that she had to deal with what was happening now.
"How would you even break the curse?" she knew what it was; Seth had told her at one point, revealing that she would likely never have a son. It hadn't mattered to her, she still had no plans to have children, so she had shrugged it off, letting her cousin know they she cared little about the family's problems all those years ago. And now, as Lucy stood before her with Tabitha and Elendil, she knew that she felt uninterested in the family drama. It was still such a ridiculous claim; Her mother's family would have no reason to attack her father. He had loved with all his heart, giving up the throne for a life with her mother.

Cherry-x-Sorbet Let it go Let it go Can't let it hold me back anymore Tabby knew that Bella was not interested. "We don't know how to break the curse, but we do know you're the key. I was wondering if your mother ever told you something or she said that she was going to do something that may have been to break the curse so you of had a brother or something." The witch requested the principal to look into her past and think about what had her mother said. "There is no need to hold a grudge against the Solindo's. Seth was a child when it happened and your grandmother, the last person who could have done something, died last night. Who is there to hate... children?" Tabby wanted Bella to let go of the anger.

Bellatrix sighed, running a hand across her face as she tried to ignore what Tabitha was saying. It was too much, she didn't want to hear the truth, and she didn't want to let this family into her life. She had worked hard to get where she was, and she had done it all because the Caliu's had raised her. The Solindo's would care about her if she tried to stake a claim on the throne; but she couldn't block out what was right. The infants were innocent of it all...
Finally, she looked up, leaning against the desk as she spoke. "I'll help however I can." She would provide whatever was needed, but once it was over, she expected to be left alone for good.

Tabby smiled gently. That's what she hoped that Bella would say. "We don't know what we need to just yet, but you're the key to it all." The witch answered with a smile. "I wished we hand someone who knew more about curses to help us with this. It would go a lot more faster." The woman commented. They at least had the most important part. Len was not within their grasp nor was Imhotep after the Vega's took him away.
