The Worst Thing Possible
Helia sat on his bean bag chair staring at a bouquet of flowers that Flora had gathered on a date, normally he would give her flowers, but being the fairy of nature, Helia thought it was only fair that Flora give him flowers too, as symbolic to their love.
"My beautiful rose, what are you doing right now?" Helia thought quietly. Suddenly, he heard a female sounding scream coming from the others' room. He recognized the pitch of the scream, and was relieved it wasn't his sweet Flora. He raced to the other room as he heard thumping and muffle cries.
"What… you… ing?" was all Helia could make out, he recognized the voice, and was a little worried. Then, he swung open the door to the other Specialists' room. All he saw was Riven, sitting on his bed, idly reading.
"What happened, I heard Tecna screaming?" Helia asked.
"Helia, you've gone as crazy as Timmy, worry about your own girlfriend." Riven said irritably.
"No, Riven I'm serious!" Helia raised his voice. Then he heard a thump in the closet near Riven, but Riven kicked the door, then it stopped.
"Riven, what's in the closet?" Helia yelled.
"Nothing, Helia just go write a poem or something." Riven scoffed.
"Not until I see what's in that closet!" Helia shouted, then the thumping started again, but before Riven could kick the door again, Helia threw him across the room like a dirty shirt.
"What the…" Riven thought, staring at Helia.
"I don't know what you're pulling, but if it's anything shady-" Helia was shocked stupid when he opened the closet door. Tecna was gagged and bound, trapped in the closet. Her face was covered in blood.
"Riven, you've done some pretty dirty things, even going out with Darcy, but this is low." Helia snapped, "What would Timmy and Musa think?"
"Who cares?" Riven huffed.
"Who ca… who cares!" Helia snapped, untying Tecna's bounds, "Timmy would be furious when he finds out you did this to Tecna, remember he has been working out. And Musa… she would lose all respect for you."
"So?" Riven asked insensitively.
"You are impossible!" Helia shouted, taking the gag out of Tecna's mouth. Then he took her out of the room and into his.
"Are you okay?" Helia asked Tecna generously.
"T… thank you, Helia." she managed to tell him in a uncontrollably trembling voice.
"Are you comfortable telling me what happened?" he asked her gently.
"Well… I was… walking around here, looking for Timmy… when Riven pulled me… in the guys' room. He asked me… to do his essay for him… and when I told him he wouldn't learn anything, he… told me I was garbage and… " When Tecna made it that far, she began to shed tears, but the salty hot moisture hurt her cut face.
"It's okay Tecna, can you tell me what he did to hurt you like this?" Helia asked her reassuringly.
"After he… said I was garbage… he… slapped me in the face." Tecna continued in scared tears, "He continued to abuse me until I agreed to do his essay. Then when he heard you coming, he shoved me in the closet and tied me up and gagged me. I tried getting your attention by kicking the door with my feet, but…"
"I understand." Helia told her comfortingly, "listen, you can stay here and calm yourself down, I'm going to call Timmy."
"No, just… take me back to Alfea, Timmy would be devastated if he saw me like this, and to know that one of his own friends did this to me… he could get seriously hurt trying to avenge me."
"Tecna, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but after he found you in the Omega Dimension-" Helia began.
"Not this again." Tecna sighed.
"Just listen, he started working out, he swore if anyone touched you the way that Riven just did, he would beat them senseless."
"Oh Timmy." Tecna thought to herself, her sacrifice had scared Timmy half to death, and he kept telling her that he'd do anything to keep from losing her.
"So just stay with me until Timmy comes, I'll come him right now." Helia told her. She sat there in defeat, wiping her eyes with a tissue that Helia gave her, but it hurt her to do so. Helia grabbed his cell from his desk and speed dialled Timmy.
Timmy was in the elevator up to his and the guys' dorm, when suddenly his cell rang.
"Must be Tecna." he thought, but was surprised to see it wasn't his beloved cupcake.
"Helia, what going on?" he asked.
"Timmy, take a deep breath." Helia began.
"Why, what happened?" Timmy gasped, thinking the worst.
"Timmy… Riven beat up Tecna." and with Helia's words, Timmy lowered his phone with eyes narrowed and teeth gritted.
"Where is he?" he hissed under his breath, but his phone was in his hand, and Helia thought something else.
"Timmy? Timmy?" Helia called on the phone, then the connection ended. He put the phone down.
"What did he say?" Tecna asked, a little calmer now.
"Nothing, as soon as I told him, it was silent." Helia told her.
"Knowing Timmy, he's beyond furious." Tecna replied worriedly. Then, Timmy ran in the room, and seeing Tecna's face, his eyes widened.
"Oh cupcake." he sat down next to her, "I'm going to kill Riven for this."
"Timmy, where were you? I was looking everywhere." she asked him, and he pulled her closed to him.
"I should've stayed here, I could've prevent this." he whispered, kissing her ear a little bit.
"Ow, Timmy, I have buises everywhere." Tecna told him.
"I promise you I will make Riven pay for all of this." Timmy replied comfortingly, "as soon as I leave, I want you to put in these earplugs, I'm going to say things way too foul for your delicate ears." he gave her a pair of small noise blocking plugs he invented, they were cushioned so Tecna's ears wouldn't hurt from wearing them for long periods of time.
"I love you, that's why I should just go back to Alfea and clean up." Tecna protested.
"Tecna, I'm not going to let this go." Timmy told her, "you are my everything... my cupcake, I promised I'd never let anyone touch you. I'm going to kick... Riven's..." Then Timmy covered Tecna's ears. Once he finished, he kissed her softly, and left.
