CHAPTER 3: DON´T TRY TO BE A HERO
Flora immediately ran to her sister´s side and positioned next to Miele, knees on the ground. She took her sister´s hands in hers and started to cry.
"Please Miele wake up ….. don´t leave me.." Flora said while she tried to find out Miele´s pulse. She found it and she immediately closed her eyes. "Nature Dust" Miele´s body started glowing, her inside organs started healing. When the light faded, Miele was breathing but she was still unconscious.
"Thank goodness" Flora sighed in relief. Then she saw that Miele had a cut on her forehead and on her right arm was a big scratch that was possibly made from a wolf's claw.
"It can´t be…" Flora stood up and threw her arms to the sky "Nature Symphony!" Then Flora's body began to levitate and was surrounded by a green glow that conjured up a wind.
Be careful child, there is an evil force near you. It´s very powerful. Get the girl and run out of here The voice of nature told her in a worry and hurry tone.
Flora then touched Miele´s forehead "Pollen" Flora´s hand began to glow and in a second the cut in Miele´s forehead disappeared. Flora then did the same with her scratch and it disappeared to. She sat down next to Miele and changed to her normal outfit. She began to feel tired and weak so se transformed back.
"There have to be some of those magical flowers…." She began looking around the lake until she found what she was looking for. "There they are!" She then carried Miele in her back with her head on her shoulder.
Flora goes directly to the nearest pure white flower. She then carefully left Miele on the flour and touched the flower. In an instant a powerful barrier was surrounding her and her sister, a pure white light illuminating all the forest. She lay down next to Miele and hugged her.
"Come on sweetie wake up. Mom and Dad are sure on their way here" Flora whispered.
Away from the lake, Mark and Rose were still searching.
"We are near the lake. I think in twenty minutes we will arrive there" Mark said to Rose while running.
Rose then stopped flying, coming down to the floor. She changed to her normal outfit "I will save some energy, just in case" That was the moment when they saw it.
A pure white light could be seen through the forest. "I think that Flora and Miele remembered what I told them, they found one of those pure white flowers" Mark said smiling knowing that her daughters were safe.
"It´s really a relief" said Rose smiling.
"Yeah, but we better hurry" Marl began to run with Rose following close behind.
In the lake, some noises were heard from the body that Flora was helding .
"Hmmm…." Miele groaned and opened her eyes. "Fl… Flora?" She asked weakly.
She immediately smiled and throws her arms around the person in front of her. "Miele! I was so scared… never do that again, you hear me?!" Flora told or better said, screamed at her little sister.
"I´m sorry Flora…. I was following a butterfly. I didn´t realize where I was going until I was surrounded by trees… I was so scared…and it was so dark…" Miele started to sob and Flora buried her little sister in her chest embracing her and protecting her.
"It´s ok Miele, I´m here. You are safe here with me, don´t cry. Mom and dad are sure looking for us right now. We have to find them. Listen to me Miele" Miele raised her head so now she was looking to Flora´s eyes."You have to be by my side all the time ok? Come on" They stood up and hold each other hands.
Flora closed her eyes and the flower stop glowing. The barrier and the light faded. They started walking, but many groaning noises could be heard them.
"Flora.. What´s that?" Miele pointed to a shadow. The shadow started to move in their direction and when the moon light illuminate the lake, a wolf taked the place of the shadow.
"Miele, don´t move" But it was no use, a lot of wolves come out of nowhere. "Ok, change of plans. Miele go back and touch one white flower"
"But Flora-"
"No buts! Now!" Flora screamed to her sister. Miele ran to the lake and when she found a flower she touched it. A barrier was surrounding Miele, and with the light Flora could see that she was cornered by the wolves.
"Transform!" Flora went to her fairy form. She then began to flying away of the ground and away of the wolves, but a force impulse her to the floor. "What is going on? Why can´t I fly?" She tried a lot of times, but she couldn´t fly.
One of the wolves began running towards her at full speed. "Wrapping Ivy!" The plants began wrapping themselves around the wolf, chocking the wolf until it was fast unconscious. "One down" Flora then took a look at Miele that was crying in the barrier.
"Don´t worry Miele! I´m fi-"
"Watch out Flora!" Miele interrupted her sister because a wolf was running towards her. But it was too late, the wolf´s claws hit her in the back "No!"
"Ugh! Floral Whirlpool.." with a cry of effort and pain, Flora shouted the green sphere at the wolf that went flying to a tree. "Pollen" Flora began to heal herself.
"That was impressive for a foolish little girl" A voice could be heard in the shadows
"Who..Who´s there?" Flora asked really scared at the shadow form. A man with long white hair and a black tunic came out holding an ancient crosier with a yellow orb on top of it.
"My name is useless, now what are these two beautiful girls doing alone in the dark forest during the night?" The man said with a smirk on his face.
"Umm.. sorry, but that´s not of your concern. I know that you control those wolves. Why did you attack us?! We haven´t done anything!" Flora shouted to the man
"The presence of my wolves is disturbing you? Well that´s not a problem. Go away." The wolves disappeared in the shadows. "Now are you more comfortable?" The man asked to Flora, but she was already running towards Miele.
"Miele stay here ok, I don´t trust this man. Mother nature told me that he has a lot of darkness in his heart and it could be dangerous" Flora said to her sister
"But what about you? Why don´t you come inside? That way we will be both safe" Miele told Flora with tears in her little green-brownish eyes.
"Sweetie, this man could destroy the barrier and I don´t want you to be in danger ok?" Flora told her in a caring tone. "Sorry Miele… Growing Ping" Flora´s hands created yellow sparks that made a nearby flower went directly to Miele and releasing green particles. She fell to the ground sleeping.
"Such a cutie" Flora jumped in shock, because the man was behind her.
"Stay away from my sister! Wrapping Ivy!" All the plants around them began to wrap themselves around the man. But it was useless.
The man glow a white light and all the plants were destroyed "That was not nice" The man said in a calm tone. "Darkness Orb" The man threw a black orb to Flora, but she was prepared.
"Roots of Organ!" Thick vines grow from the ground and formed a fortress in front of her. She was having a difficult time trying to stopping it.
"I see. You are very good with defensive spells, but that isn´t going to help you" The dark orb grow stronger and the fortress of vines was destroyed.
"Oh no!" Flora then was hit by the darkness orb and was pushed near the lake. "That was painfull…" Flora groaned in pain.
"And the best is that it has a paralyzing effect. You are not going to move in a few hours" The man smirked walking towards her.
"That´s what you think….. Golden Pollen.." Yellow sparks surrounded Flora´s body and then Flora glow a green light. "I´m good with healing spells to" Flora replied the man, but she quickly began to glow, this time a more intense light. "Flower Twister!" Flora shouted a green ray made of golden flowers that went towards the man.
The man was caught off guard and was hit directly by Flora´s magic. He went flying towards a tree, collapsing in it and crushing it.
Flora then fell to her knees, breathing hardly and panting. "That attack consumes the few energy I had. I´m exhausted… I can´t even.." She passed out. Her transformation faded and she was unconscious.
"You don´t know what you have done…" The man said in a really dark an low voice, standing to his feet. When he saw Flora, he began laughing evilly "Seriously? Your own spell drained all your energy?" He began walking toward her while laughing.
But then he stopped in his tracks "Dark fortress!" A wall made of darkness stopped a light green sphere that had gone directly to him. The two attacks faded and he began looking to the author of that attack, but suddenly a sword was going directly to him. He dodged the sword, but a deep cut appeared in his stomach.
"What the.. ughh?!" Blood began to fell from the injury. He then looked forward and saw a man and a woman catching Flora and leaving her in the white barrier with Miele.
"Touch our daughters again…" The man said.
"And you will be dead" The woman said in a very cold tone. The man began going backwards in fear.
"And you are?" The man demanded to the pair.
"A pair of very angry parents" The two said in unison. The man then drew his sword and the woman was surrounded by light. When the light faded the woman was transformed. She was a fairy, and the man knew that she was a powerful one just by only looking to her eyes.
"I know you….. The ex guardian fairy of this planet, Rose and you must be her husband" The man smirked, his injury fully recovered "Finally something interesting" The wolves began to appear out of the shadows.
Mark and Rose exchanged looks and then put themselves in battle positions.
