The other side – chapter 2

I'm back, ok I'm not I'm just writing this after I finished the last chapter but it just simply hasn't been uploaded until now. I'm sorry this isn't three days, it's a week, but im busy with school work and homework. From now on, I'll aim to update once a week. The next chapter is almost finished, however I don't know where I'll be going with it from the fourth chapter onwards so ill have to plan it out. However im definitely going to continue writing this as im thoroughly enjoying it and it is good practice for my typing. This chapter is most likely going to be longer than the last chapter as it'll be looking at Flora's past. ON WITH THE STORY!

As I lie awake waiting for two hours to pass until I can go and check up on Aisha, my mind goes back to my past. I let out a small laugh when I think about it. So many things are not what they seem. There are two versions of my past, the Winx Club version and the actual version. The Winx Club version is well-know: I grew up on Lynthea with my mum, dad and younger sister. I came to Alphea. I saved Meile to earn my Enchantix. Basic, boring, makes me seem nice. It couldn't be further from the truth.

I love my family. My father is no longer with us and Mother is the evilest person I know. Mother taught me how to kill and how to get away with murder, how use my assets to get what I want and most importantly how to keep on being a nature fairy while I'm not actually a fairy at all.

Mother is a dark empress, from another universe where magic works in a different way. She created me from her magic but made it look like she was pregnant with me while she was the king of Tritanious' (Tritanious is a made up planet) girlfriend. Nothing scares a man like a pregnancy. After I was 'born', the king banished my mother but kept me as the next heir to the throne. I think he must have loved me, or at least the idea of his pathetic legacy not ending when he did.

The king, my father, taught me how to use deception magic. I wasn't his child after all, so of course I didn't really look like him. He was so deranged on his notion of an heir that he decided just to teach me how to look like him, instead of questioning why I didn't look like him in the first place. He made me look like him, with long grey hair, stark blue eyes and dark tan skin. No-one ever guessed what was going on, and his tuition has set me up for the rest of my life - I can make myself look like anything I want. Even now I do it to look like the nice Flora everyone knows and loves when in reality I look very different. I was never seen in the kingdom until the age of ten; I finally mastered deception magic when I was ten so I was allowed to make royal appearances. I was still in intensive schooling until the age of 13, by then I had learnt the whole history of the universe and every magic spell possible with deception magic. Once I was snooping in my father's bed chambers while he was away hunting and I came across a book, this book contained the most evil spell deception magic could offer. I carefully stole the book and kept it hidden in my own room for another couple of years.

Something surprising happened when I was 14, Mother was welcomed back into the kingdom by the king himself. To this day I don't know why my mother came back, I will most likely go to my grave without her telling me. When she came back into my life she taught me how to kill. Everything dark magic could do. I am forever grateful for her as she taught me the stuff I needed to know to fulfil a life of death and crime. Her last words to me were rushed, like she was running out of time, she said to me; "there will come a time when you'll be able to return to where you truly belong, but not yet. You must go and age until you can return to your rightful home. In the meantime create a new life on Lynthea where you are a nature fairy with a loving, magical family. Create this with the help of the book you stole from your father's room. If you do what I have just said and follow my earlier teachings then you will find me again." To this day I have never seen my mother again. That will change very shortly.

As soon as Mother left the king ran into my room, gun in hand and a deranged look on his face. On instinct I ran towards him, a thin blade in my hand and slit his throat before he could shoot me. His deep red blood ran onto my blade, slowly dripping, with a slight sound as it made contact with the floor. His eyes weren't full of shock, instead intense anger and hatred shone through. His now limp, lifeless body fell to the floor, with blood still gushing out of the slit on his throat. The king's blood stained my bedroom's floor a deep, dark crimson. The veins on his neck still pulsated slightly. No guards came rushing in, I was never even questioned about his death and the plant just carried on as it for millenniums before. After that night I just carried on my normal day today life.

It took me another few years to realize why nobody cared about the King's death, nobody on that planet cared. Nearer the beginning it was weird being able to say: I was the one that murdered the King of Tritanious, I always expected to have angry guards come and arrest me. I was never worshipped however I was never punished. This gave me a certain freedom to be able to do what I wanted.

I don't look back and regret my actions, it was super fun torturing everyone on my own planet. If you look at it now it is so dead no computers can even sense it. None of the mothers cared about their own children, more often than not the parents enjoyed seeing their child being brutally murdered and having their quivering heart ripped out from their chest while their screams nearly broke the glass. After their children died I killed the parents, burning their bodies into nothing but ashes.

You know, when I leave I could play about with some of the Winx Club members if I really wanted, Musa would definitely be an easy target to torture, with her losing her mum and her abusive father. It's just hard knowing whether I want something easy or whether I want something I can play with for a little longer. A longer game, a harder challenge, a lot more fun. One planet wasn't enough for me. I need to work out who I could hurt the most, whose destruction would be the most surprising to the world. I need to destroy someone who believes they are invincible if I want to prove that I am.

I could probably deal with the risk of it going wrong, Mother taught me well. I'll need to decide soon and start preparing - after I get my sirenix I can't see that I'll be here for much longer. I can't deal with the whining.

I would hate to become bored if somethings too easy however I don't want to waste my time on futile attempts, this will take a lot of thoughtful consideration. I've already experienced the little amount of enjoyment I get, my old planet was so easy to absolutely obliterate all life in, so I'll probably want a bigger challenge. It can't be Helia as he's still an addict so it would be boring for me. Bloom might be fun as she's always so annoying with her being the most powerful and always being the one to save the day. Soon my dreams will all come true, all I need to do is wait until we get our sirenix then I'll be able to leave.

I want to say a massive thank you to my older sister who is doing my proof reading and editing it all for me, without her this story wouldn't be nowhere as good as it is, it'd probably be much less clear and less suspenseful for everyone. By the time this chapter is uploaded my third chapter should definatley be finished, albeit not proofread, with the fourth chapter basically finished.
