Chapter 3: Escape
Osuritá saw that Vereist is talking to Lalya one of the winx club members and now the Queen of Tides.
"What are you doing here?" she snarled at Lalya in her sarcastic voice.
"Just talking," Lalya said and Osuritá saw that she was shaking her head, "It's been a long time, hasn't, Darcy?"
"My name is Osuritá not Darcy."
How dare that pixie come here with her goodie-goodness and spoil their plans.
"So, Darcy…I mean Osuritá, any guys in your life?"
"Why do you care?"
"Well because a certain guy with purple hair has been asking about you," Lalya explained to Osuritá.
"Riven? But he's married to Musa," Osuritá spat, "and besides why would I fall for guys? They're so lame."
"Riven and Musa divorced because he still loves you."
So he has fallen into my trap. What a loser! Osuritá laughed to herself, but then stopped suddenly. Does he really love me? She wondered.
Osuritá noticed that Vereist was speaking so she pulled herself out of her thoughts…
"Lalya, go back to your remaining friends and tell them all about the new Trix. You are dismissed," Vereist said abruptly while flipping her hand towards the door.
Well that was rude, Lalya thought to herself, but then again Icy was never really polite to us fairies.
Lalya left the castle and walked towards the forest, when someone called her name.
"Lalya, wait!"
She stopped and turned around, she saw the little golden haired girl running towards her.
"Lalya," the girl said when she caught up to Lalya, "take me with you!"
"What would Queen Vereist say?"
"She won't mind, please just get me out of this place," the girl begged Lalya with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Fine, you can come with me…um…"
"Jemanden. Jemanden Heart."
"Where are your parents?" Lalya asked wondering if the child even has parents.
"The Guardians of Darkness slaughtered my parents before my very eyes," Jemanden whispered quietly and Lalya saw tears in her eyes.
"I am sorry, Jemanden. Don't worry I will take care of you. You can be my daughter, a princess of Tides."
"Oh thank you! One question how do you know Vereist?"
"My friends and I know her as Icy the leader of the Trix, along with Stormy and Darcy. We called ourselves the Winx Club and the Trix always tried to kick our butts."
"She's Icy!?" Jemanden asked then suddenly she gasped, "She's the one who killed Queen Stella, Queen Bloom, Princess Rose and Princess Lavia."
"Yes, I was there when Icy killed Stella and Rose," Lalya explained as she remembers Stella's death, "Shall we go?"
"Yes, we shall."
"WHERE IS JEMANDEN?!" Vereist yelled, "JEMANDEN WHERE ARE YOU? HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO CALL YOU?!"
"Sis, she's gone," Osuritá replied, "She's a little runaway, don't forget."
"Tempesta," Vereist called, "go find her and when you do make sure she gets forty lashes and no supper for running away."
"Yes, Vereist," Tempesta answered as she bowed to the High Queen and left to go find Jemanden …
Where did that little brat go? Tempesta thought to herself, how many times do Osuritá and I have to find her?
Tempesta walked out of the castle just in time to see Lalya walking into a portal along with Jemanden!
"Jemanden, get your butt back here!"
Tempesta saw Jemanden look at her with fear in her eyes, then the portal close with Jemanden in it.
Great, Vereist is going to be pissed.
She went back inside and walked towards the throne room, hesitating and wondering how her sisters will react to what she just saw.
When she walked inside Vereist looked over from her throne.
"Well, where is she?"
"She…um…is on Tides," Tempesta said with a gulp when she saw Vereist eyes flashed icy blue.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" Vereist growled getting off her throne.
"Jem followed Lalya into the portal that carried them back to Tides."
Vereist whipped out her Dream Sword, "I am going to Tides to claim back what is ours. You two stay here and make sure no one else comes to Sparks without permission."
Vereist then created a portal and Tempesta watched as her sister disappeared out of sight…
