Chapter 2- Gardenia
Vanessa
I heard a knock on the door. I wiped my hands on my apron and went to get the door. I opened it and saw a beautiful girl with long black hair with purple highlights. She looked like Bloom only with dark color hair and different eyes. "Honey who is it?" Mike called as he walked down the stairs. He came and stood next to me and said "May we help you?" The girl said "Are you Mike and Vanessa Peters?" "Yes" I said. She smiled and said "Then you have a daughter named Bloom. Am I correct?" I nodded and said "Yes but she is not here, she is on a school break." "I am on break as well I just graduated Alfea." Oh this girl was a fairy like Bloom. "Please come in. Are you one of Bloom's friends?" She smiled and said "You could say that. Oh forgive my manners I'm Selene." As she came into the house. I led her to the living room and she sat down on the couch. "Can I get you something to drink?" "No thank you." Mike and I sat down opposite her and she said "As I assume you know, Bloom is from a ruined planet called Sparks." "Yes we are aware of that, along with the fact that she is the only true survivor." I said. Mike was still uncomfortable with the whole our daughter is the last heir to a planet idea. Selene took a deep breath and said "She isn't the only survivor, there is one other. Bloom has a twin sister named Karina. When the ancestral witches attacked Sparks, the company of light was able to save both Bloom and Karina. To protect both them and the power of Sparks, they separated them. Bloom was sent here to earth. Karina was sent to Solaria so that one of them knew that she was a fairy from birth and the other did not, as even a further precaution against the power falling into the hands of the witches." "That's so sad; imagine never meeting your twin sibling. I couldn't even begin to think how that would feel." She looked down at the ground and said "I could. Mrs. Peters that is my story, my real name is Karina and Bloom is my sister." I put my hand over my mouth and stood up. I went over and hugged her. "That means you are technically our daughter." I whispered. She chuckled and said "Not really but I guess you could think that." I pulled away and said "If you're Bloom's real sister than why are you two away from each other? Just last year they were here looking for Roxy, and then they went back to Magix. Shouldn't you two be together?" She bit her lip and said "Well without going into too much detail, we kinda got in a fight. And through a series of previous events I remembered from Blooms memories about you and Mike. So I came to earth, hopefully I will be leaving fairly soon, if I get lucky. I just need a place to stay until there is a crime or problem somewhere in the world that I can help with." She smiled and said "Bloom and the other's did they same thing last year, but I think they were just trying to get humans to believe in fairies again. Of course you can stay here Selene, or would you prefer we call you Karina?" "Selene is fine and thank you, I really appreciate it." I smiled and said "Let me show you Bloom's old room. Oh you don't have any clothes?" She reached into her pocket and pulled out a tiny suitcase, she put it on the ground and it grew to the size of a normal suitcase. I laughed and said "Oh right you're a fairy." She laughed and picked it up. I led her up to Bloom's room. Just a few years ago she had slept here every night, now her sister would be staying here. Selene set her stuff down and said "Again thank you." "You don't need to thank us, I see you as my daughter, and after all you could have been the one to grow up here." She smiled and said "Can I use the bathroom?" "Selene I want you to think of this as your house, you don't need to ask us. It's right down the hall, first door on the left." She smiled and left the room. If she was going to be staying here a while we'll have to get her a few things. Like a cell phone, some normal clothes, and probably some earth money. When she came back in I said "Selene if you are going to be living here in Gardenia then we'll need to get you some normal human clothes, a cell phone, a way for you to get around" She interrupted me and said "I can just fly around." I laughed and said "Though Bloom and the others did make humans believe in fairies when they were here, you just can't fly around and be a fairy. You need to keep it a secret still." She lifted an eyebrow and said "Okay. You said I had to get new clothes? Why?" "Well I just was assuming that the styles in Magix and on earth were different but if you're fine with your clothes, then we don't have to get you new ones." She nodded and then I looked at the clock, dinner was almost done. "Selene come downstairs in a few minutes for dinner, I have to go finish it up." "Do you need any help?" "You could set the table." "I want to help in whatever way I can. And I want to pay you back for letting me stay here." "Oh, I couldn't let you waste your money on us. Speaking of which, we'll have to get you some earth money as well." She smiled and hugged me "Thank you so much Vanessa, you have been so kind to me even though you barely know me." I smiled and said "Selene because you're Bloom's birth sister, automatically makes you my daughter. I love you."
Selene
I have been living with Mister and Misses Peters for about a month now. I told them the full truth about what had happened to me and Bloom, and they just seemed sorry that I had to go through all of it. Each day I would wake up and go help in the flower shop that Vanessa owned, then I would help her make dinner and then we would do something together each night. Some days I went and ran errands for them, delivering flowers was my favorite. I met almost everyone in the town; it wasn't very big to begin with so that didn't take long. One day I was cleaning the kitchen after breakfast, Vanessa was getting ready for work and Mike was watching the news. I heard Vanessa come downstairs and sit next to Mike. "Listen to this honey." He said and turned up the TV. "Breaking news from our correspondents in Tokyo, Japan. There appears to be a large dinosaur like monster attacking the city. Though it seems as though this is a huge disaster, it is not nearly as horrible as the worldwide attacks a few years ago. The Japanese government had declined all offers for help from other countries. This is Chen Clark, reporting from Tokyo." By that time I had come from the kitchen. "I have to go help." I said. They both turned to me and before they could protest I said "This is the thing I've been waiting for, and I'll be fine." Vanessa looked down at the ground but said "Okay. Will you be coming back?" "I don't know, maybe. But just in case I am bringing my things. I am glad this happened when it did because Bloom and the girl's original plan for the summer were to visit each family, and I assume they will be coming here soon. Can you do me a favor and not tell them that I was here or where I went?" Vanessa nodded, she understood why. I ran upstairs and magically packed my bag. I shrunk it and ran back down to the living room. I ran straight into the arms of my guardians. "We'll miss you." Vanessa said. Mike said "Yeah, really we will, please stay safe and come back as soon as you can." I smiled and said "Of course I will. And I have my cell phone; you can call me any time." I saw tears in Vanessa's eyes and I felt little tears in mine. I walked out the door and transformed. I waved goodbye and said "New Moon." Then after I was invisible I said "Winx Zoomix." I thought of the capital of Japan and then I was there.
It didn't take long for me to find my goal. There were cars streaming out of the city. I followed the line of cars in the opposite direction until I saw a huge monster. It was taller than anything I had ever seen. I gulped and said "Full moon." "Okay Selene you can do this. It's just a monster, you c-can do this." I said to myself. I flew towards the giant dinosaur and got ready to fight.
