Chapter Two: What Next?
Musa POV
First things first. Call the girls. I pick up my phone and pressed 1. It automatically conference called the winx.
"Musa?" Bloom answered, "Aren't you supposed to be with Riven? Are you crying? Did he stand you up?"
"Oh if he did, I am going to find him and I'll teach him a lesson of two about messing with my girl Musa." Stella replied angrily.
"Girls, shush. Let Musa Speak." Flora kindly said into the phone.
I Took a breath and said "Riven didn't stand me up. He called me and said 'Musa! Please! Help Me!' and then the Line went dead."
Silence. That's what I heard for a good few minutes before Bloom finally spoke.
"I'll text Sky, we'll all meet up at that Café in Magix." She said. She paused, then said. "All the boys will meet us there in 10 minutes."
"Okay." Tecna said, saying something for the first time.
"Meet you there." Layla added. She sounded worried and slightly mad. She never liked it when people messed with her friends. And although her and Riven weren't that close, messing with Riven meant messing with Musa.
I changed out of my new dress and into some sweats and a band tee Riven had gotten me. Riven. I let a few more tears slip and then stopped. No more crying. I had to be strong, for Riven. I washed away any traces of the tears and got ready to leave.
I walked outside and saw the bus going to Magix was almost here. I hurried into a run and barely made it. I was in Magix in 5 minutes. Now to find that Café. The name was so hard to pronounce that we always just called it "That Café". I started walking over; I just had no more energy to run. When I got there everyone else was already there.
For a while, things were awkward. Nobody said anything, so I decided it was time to speak up.
"Okay," I started, my voice almost breaking, "Does everyone know what's going on, why we're here?
Everyone nodded their head. "Okay, so…. We need a plan. First we need to figure out who could've taken Riven and why. Any Ideas?" I questioned. I was really on the verge of crying now. "Stay strong Musa." I told myself.
"I might," Tecna piped up "but first, I need to see your phone."
"Why?" I asked.
"Well first, I can get his location by tracing the phone call. Second, I can replay the phone call on my laptop. I can tune down his voice and maybe try and hear some background noise to see if it can help up with who took him and why." Tecna explained.
"Tecna, you're brilliant." I said while smiling. But then it faded, just because we could do something, doesn't mean it'll work.
I reached my phone out of my pocket and handed it over. She took several minutes hooking up and then she started working with a look of determination oh her face. I'd never seen her like this before. I was amazed. In about five minutes she looked up.
"Got the coordinates. I'm going to look them up and see if I can find a location." Tecna said. Then a very grave look cast upon her face before she went back to a neutral look.
"Tenca? What's wrong?' Timmy asked.
"He…he...he's in The Valley of the Wicked." Tecna said, fear clearly written all over her face.
"Tenca, what's that?" Stella asked, clearly confused.
However, I could barely register the conversation. I knew what the Valley of the Wicked was, and I knew that the chances of ever getting Riven back now were pretty much reduced to zero. The Valley of the Wicked was where dark magic was strongest and if you weren't full of dark magic and a black heart, you're chances of surviving were reduced to almost nothing. That's when I realized I just couldn't take it. I fainted.
Riven's POV
I woke up tied to chair in a cave. It was cold, dark, and ominous. My head hurt and I most likely had a concussion from being hit in the head twice. Now that I knew my captives, I knew I had to escape. There was no telling what they would want from me, and honesty, I didn't ever want to find out.
My location was still unknown. I woke up partially on the way in here, and it was a valley of some sort, but that was all I knew. Even though I had no magic of my own, I could sense that there was obviously a huge amount of dark magic here. That was not good. Dark magic tended to drain people who weren't accustomed to it, which meant if I was planning on doing anything, I needed to do it fast.
I needed to think escape. Getting out of these bonds wouldn't be easy. They were magic, very powerful, and I bet that if I were to struggle, they would only get tighter. I could try a calming technique, and try to slip out of them, but it wasn't likely to work. I had a small knife hidden in my boot; I could try and cut through, but I couldn't think of any way to get to it.
"This is hopeless." I whispered to myself. "I'll never get out of here."
Soon I heard footsteps coming, which meant they were coming. I had to try to escape, or maybe pretend to still be out of it. I needed time. I rested my head back, closed my eyes, and calmed my breathing. This is what I assumed I must have looked like when I was unconscious.
"I know your awake Riven." A seductive voice purred.
I jerked my head up, so much for that plan. I raised my eyes to look at my captives deciding to show no fear. I looked my captives dead on, then I decided to speak.
"What do you want, Darcy?" I retorted coolly.
Okay, so chapter 3 should be up this weekend, but what do you think ?
