Chapter 2
As Nikea and Isaac turned to see who was talking to them they saw a girl with navy blue eyes and navy blue hair with thick red and yellow streaks that reached the middle of her back and pale skin tone standing at the top of a set of stairs wearing a pair of black sweats and a black tee-shirt.
"Like I asked who are you?" The girl asked more angrily.
"I'm sorry that we barged in but we are trying to hide from someone." Isaac said.
"I'm calling the cops." The girl said as she began to turn back towards the way she came from.
"Wait a minute." Nikea said as she started to loose her balance again.
"Is she ok?" The girl asked.
"She will be we just need some time to rest and then will leave." Isaac said as he helped Nikea steady herself.
"Fine you can bring her up here after turning the light off and you two can stay the night after you tell me what brought you into here." The girl said as she walked through the door.
"Thank you, bye the way my name is Isaac and hers is Nikea what's yours?" Isaac said as he helped Nikea to the stairs.
"Corvetta." The girl said.
"Thanks again Corvetta." Isaac said as he went over to the light switch and shut it off.
After helping Nikea up the stairs Corvetta pointed to a chair that Isaac could sit Nikea in. After he placed her in it he took a seat in the other chair in the room.
"Now tell me what happened." Corvetta said as she pulled in a chair from another room.
"I don't know where to start." Isaac said as he looked at Nikea.
"How about who are you trying to hide from?" Corvetta asked.
"Her name is Lutina." Nikea said.
"Why are you trying to hide from her?" Corvetta asked turning her head toward Nikea.
"Because she is trying to kill us." Nikea said.
"You look like you have had better days." Corvetta said while she examined Nikea.
"I know." Nikea said, "Let me tell you everything from the beginning."
Corvetta sat there quietly listening while Nikea told her about Sonia attacking Isaac and how her friends saved him from her, how Florina was lost to darkness and how Deathscythe tried to free King Sieglinde, and the sacrifice that Amelia made to save Isaac. Also how she had thought she had seen two things escape from the hole before it had shut, and finally about going to all of the different realms looking for any signs of what she had seen, and earlier that night how they meet Lutina and her attacking them. And then how they had finally ended up in the garage down stairs.
Corvetta just sat there for a few minutes.
"You don't believe us do you?" Isaac asked.
"I'm not saying that I don't believe you but you have to admit that it does sound a little far fetched. But I know that there has to be a bit of truth in what you said because of the Winx Club coming to Earth." Corvetta said as she stood up, "You two can stay here for the night but I want you to leave tomorrow."
"Thank you." Nikea said with a small smile.
As Corvetta shut the lights off for the night a flash from outside lit up the sky like it was day time.
"What was that?" Corvetta asked.
"That's who were hiding from, she must be mad that she can't find us." Isaac said as he walked over to the window.
"At least she won't find you here so you can gain your strength back for the night." Corvetta said as she walked back to a bedroom.
The next morning after waking up Isaac peaked in at Nikea who was still asleep. He went down stairs to examin what damage was done the night before when he and Nikea had come inside the garage. When he got to the door at the top of the stairs he noticed Corvetta down stairs working on a yellow sedan.
"Good morning." Isaac said as he walked up.
"Morning." Covetta said with out even looking at him.
"Need any help?" Isaac asked.
"Only if you know how to fix an engine." Corvetta said as she stood up.
"Sorry don't know anything about engines." Isaac said, "Is there anything else I can do? I want to repay you for letting us stay here last night."
"Then I got nothing for you to do right now." Corvetta said as she looked over at Isaac, "So how's your friend doing?"
"She had to use a lot of her power up last night she is still asleep." Isaac said as he sat down on a stool.
"So you only come down to help out or is there something else that you wanted?" Corvetta asked as she went back to working on the sedan.
"I just wanted to come and see if Nikea damaged anything last night when she tumbled in here she hit her head on something." Isaac said.
"Don't worry she didn't hit any car all she hit was my tool chest." Corvetta said as she pointed at the large rolling tool chest.
"How do you know that's what she hit?" Isaac asked.
"Last night when I stopped work it was not up against the wall like it was this morning." Corvetta said with a slightly irritated voice.
"Can I ask you?" Isaac started to ask.
"You want to know why I am working at this garage alone and where my parents are don't you?" Corvetta asked.
"That is what I was going to ask." Isaac said with amazement in his voice, "How did you know?"
"Everyone when they first come here ask the same questions." Corvetta said as she stood back up and turned toward Isaac whipping her brow.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." Isaac said.
"No it's fine, I'll tell you." Corvetta said as she leaned against the sedan, "To make the story short my mom died when I was young so my dad hade to take care of me while I grew up, He taught me how to work on cars after he started this garage and then about two years ago he died in a car wreck so I have been trying to keep the garage going for him."
"I'm sorry to hear that." Isaac said.
"No big deal I just want to keep this place going for my dad." Corvetta said as she went back to working on the car engine.
As Isaac was climbing the stairs he noticed a small gray glow coming from where Corvetta was working out of the corner of his eyes. He stood still at the top of the stairs watching as Corvetta continued to work.
"Corvetta you know any good places to get something to eat?" Isaac asked from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah I know of a place not to far from here go check on your friend and let me go and change into some thing else." Corvetta said as she started to walk to the stairs.
When Isaac peeked into the room that Nikea was in he saw that she was still sound asleep. He walked back to the makeshift living room he sat down in one of the chairs to wait.
"How is she doing?" Corvetta asked as she walked into the room.
"She's not awake yet." Isaac said as he looked up at Corvetta.
Corvetta was now wearing worn blue jeans, black sneakers, and a red tank-top with writing on it in yellow. Her hair was now up in a ponytail.
"Can I ask what that say on your shirt?" Isaac asked.
"It's Japanese for beast." Corvetta said, "Let's give your friend about ten more minutes and then I'll go wake her up so we can all go get something to eat."
Isaac just shook his head in agreement.
"So where you two heading after you leave here?" Corvetta asked.
"To go meet a friend of Nikea's named Flora in Gardena." Isaac said.
"Why are you going to go meet her friend?" Corvetta asked.
"To let Flora and our other friends know what happened last night." Isaac said as he looked out the window.
After waiting for a little bit Corvetta walked back to the room that Nikea was in. When she opened the door she saw Nikea had just woken up.
"Good morning Corvetta." Nikea said when she saw who was at the door.
"Morning." Corvetta said, "You woke up at just the right time, we were about to go and get something to eat."
"That sounds like a good idea I am a little hungry." Nikea said as her stomach growled.
"Good but before we go I want to give you something else to wear." Corvetta said as she walked over to the closet.
"What's wrong with what I am wearing?" Nikea asked.
"Nothing other then how torn they are." Corvetta said as she pulled some items out of the closet, "I think these will be good for you, I'll wait outside with Isaac while you change."
Isaac was surprised to see what Nikea was wearing when she came out of the bedroom that she was in. She was wearing a white tee-shirt with a bare midriff under a brown flight jacket blue jean shorts that went to her knees and black boots, she also had on a white head band and a pair of blue and white fingerless gloves.
"I knew that stuff would look good on you." Corvetta said.
"Thanks for the clothes." Nikea said as she looked at herself.
"Ok let's get going." Corvetta said as she walked toward the door.
After returning from getting some food Corvetta opened the garage door.
"So Isaac said you're going to Gardena, I'll give you two a lift since it's only a couple of cities over." Corvetta said as she walked over to the yellow sedan that she was working on.
"Thanks for the offer but we don't want you to have to close up your shop to help us out." Nikea said.
"Just shut up and get in the car, I want to help you two out now." Corvetta said as she looked right at Nikea.
Nikea walked over to the car and opened the door and climbed in. Before Isaac had done the same he happened to look at the door at the top of the stairs.
"Corvetta didn't you close that when we left?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah I did." Corvetta said, "What could have opened it?"
"I'll go and see." Isaac said.
Isaac slowly walked over to the stairs and looked up. He could see lights on in the living area. He slowly crept up the stairs until he had entered the living room. A few moments later laughter could be heard from upstairs. A look of shock formed on Nikea's face as she turned to look at the door. As she watched Isaac flew through the door with a burst of fire following him.
"Nikea, Corvetta get out of here." Isaac yelled out when he hit the ground.
"What's wrong." Nikea yelled as she started to get out of the car.
"It's Lutina." Isaac yelled as he got up off of the ground.
"You need to get over here so we can get out of here." Nikea yelled at Isaac.
Before Isaac could move a flame was shot down to the ground creating a wall of fire between him and the car. The laughter that was heard from upstairs grew louder as Lutina emerged from the door at the top of the stairs.
"So that's who was chasing you two last night." Corvetta said as she looked at Lutina.
"Go someone needs to let the others know what happened, I'll try and hold her off for as long as I can then I'll get out of here." Isaac yelled.
Corvetta shook her head and pulled Nikea back inside the car. She then turned on the ignition and peeled out of there as fast as she could.
"At least the others will find out about Lutina now," Isaac thought to himself.
"Where do those two think that they are going?" Lutina asked as she watched the yellow car racing away from the garage.
"There going to warn the others about you." Isaac said as he grabbed both of his swords.
"They'll never make it, after I am done with you there next." Lutina said as she turned her attention back to Isaac.
"I will not let you harm them." Isaac said with determination in his voice.
A few blocks away Corvetta pulled the car over and both girls got out and looked back at the garage. While they watched they could see the entire place catching on fire.
"Did Isaac get out of there?" Nikea asked looking over at Corvetta.
"I don't see him." Corvetta said as they both watched.
After a few minutes they could see a figure emerge from the building. As they watched terror crept on their faces when they saw that it was Lutina dragging Isaac behind her.
"We need to go and help him." Nikea yelled.
"It's too late." Corvetta said as she ran around the car to Nikea.
"I can't just leave him." Nikea yelled with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"He wanted you to get out of here." Corvetta yelled as she grabbed on to Nikea.
"But I need to help him." Nikea yelled trying to get out of Corvetta's grip.
Corvetta forced Nikea back inside the car and buckled her in with her arms behind her back. She then ran to the driver's side and climbed back in.
"I'm sorry Nikea but I am going to listen to him and get us out of here." Corvetta said as she drove out of there as fast as she could.
"Isaac!" Nikea yelled as Lutina and Isaac disappeared from the mirrors.
