Chapter 4
(Helia's POV)
"I guess you must of been pretty mad about that being a pacifist and all." Flora says. I shake my head. I suppose I kind of was actually going to Red Fountain but no that much I've actually benefited from it.
"Well yes at first but now I can defend those who can't defend themselves I won't jump into violence but still." I explain. She nods understanding what I'm telling her. She sighs.
"I suppose you're right." She agrees. I smile pulling her slightly closer to me.
"It's okay to loose it sometimes everyone does it, no one is perfect Flora, but you did it for a good reason, to protect and help your friend." I tell her wiping away the few stray tears on her face. She dries her eyes as she forces the tears to stop. I wonder how they're treating Riven.
"By the way what happened with my wrists? They're completely healed now?" She asks me confused. I smile. I don't know why but we both seem to do it. We lean in close. Our foreheads nearly touching and our faces millimetres apart.
"Magic." I whisper softly in her ear causing her to giggle. I have to admit I was fighting the urge to kiss her.
"Helia what happened seriously?" She asks still giggling a bit. Well I can't expect her to believe me but it was worth a shot. Besides when she finds out about magic and accepts it I can say I told her about it. I told her the truth after all.
"I'm being serious, I carried you upstairs to your room and laid you on your bed then I used my magic to heal you and you're all better." I explain with a smile knowing she wasn't going to believe it. She stared at me fascinated by the story she thinks I've made up. To be fair it does sound like something parents on Earth would tell their children. Like a fairytale. She then starts giggling lot causing me to laugh. I look down at her smiling face.
"Honestly Helia I really enjoyed talking to you." She admits. I smile getting up and helping Flora up as well.
"I enjoyed talking to you as well Flora." I reply. "We should head in though, it's getting very late and the others will probably be worrying about us." I add as I carefully turn her around as well as turning around myself so we're both facing the wall. We climb up and she gets up and over the wall before me.
"Okay." She agrees as she starts walking to the house. I catch up with her and follow her to the house.
"You're a fast climber." I tell her. She smiles a little.
"Thanks, your not too bad yourself." She replies nudging me playfully. I laugh. We go into the house hearing everyone arguing. I whistle loudly and they all shut up. All eyes are on us. Flora sighs looking down at her feet awkwardly.
"Lets just go to bed there are only six bedrooms so we'll be sharing two people in each bedroom." Bloom says breaking the silence.
"We've worked it out, Bloom and Sky, me and Brandon, Nabu and Aisha, Riven and Musa, Timmy and Tecna and Helia and Flora." Stella explains.
"Brandon sorry for this." Sky apologizes. We turn around to see Bloom ad Sky kissing. They do realize they've only just met. Well I had to fight the urge to kiss Flora so I suppose I can't really say anything.
"No it's fine." Brandon assures him before kissing Stella. Bloom and Stella blush bright red as the kissing ends. We all can't help but laugh before heading off in different directions to the bedrooms. I follow Flora to her room and I sit on the floor as she closes the door.
"Flora are you okay with this?" I ask her noticing there's only one bed and it's probably the same in the other rooms. She nods.
"I'm fine with it, are you?" She asks.
"Yeah it's just if you're not I can always sleep on the sofa or something." I assure her. She smiles and shakes her head.
"Helia I said I was fine." She laughs. "I'm going to have a shower you can... make yourself comfortable." She tells me. She grabs some pyjamas out of one of her draws before leaving. After about ten minuets she returns. Her hair wet but brushed and she's wearing baby pink pyjama shorts with a baby pink pyjama top that's slightly too big for her. She smiles sitting down. "The bathroom is down there you can have a shower and get changed." She tells me pointing to where the bathroom is. I walk t the bathroom and have a quick shower before using my magic to change into pyjama bottoms and a pyjama shirt. I walk back into Flora's room closing the door behind me. She looks at me and laughs.
"What's so funny?" I ask her playfully. She giggles a little motioning for me to sit next to her so I do. She's currently blow drying her wet hair. She turns to me as she finishes drying her hair and switches the blow dryer to full power. I shake my head laughing.
"I need to dry you're hair." She giggles obviously mused by the situation. I laugh switching the blow dryer off.
"I can dry my own hair with a towel." I tell her. She raises an eyebrow and hands me a towel for my hair which is dripping wet. I cover my head with the towel and pretend to be using the towel when I'm really using my magic. I don't know why I didn't do it in the bathroom. It must have slipped my mind. I take the towel off and my hair falls down completely dry. Her eyes widen in shock causing me to laugh.
"How did you do that so quickly?" Flora asks me surprised. I laugh. I grab the towel and do the same to her still damp laughs as her now dry hair falls down her back and into place. She quickly covers her mouth as she lets out a yawn. I can't help but smile.
"Who were those guys?" She suddenly asks me. I can see she's tired but I guess I have to answer that.
"The guy with red hair was Ogron kind of like their leader, Anagan was the guy with dark hair, the guy with blonde hair and the hat was Gantlos and the last guy with pink hair was Duman, they aren't nice people, they're really strange so it's best to avoid them if you see them." I explain. She nods yawning again.
"Why don't you go to sleep." I suggest. She lets out yet another small yawn as she nods. She craws into her bed, the side near the all and I get in next to her. She smiles resting her head on her chest surprising me. Suddenly she lifts her head up.
"I-I'm uh sorry." She apologizes stuttering a bit as she blushes bright red from embarrassment. I gently move her head back to the same position.
"It's okay Flora, just go to sleep." I tell her gently. I feel her relax a little as a slight smile appears on her face. I can't help but smile as well. I gently stroke her hair and I can tell it's making her sleepy but she doesn't say anything or tell me to stop. I feel her breathing steady. I look down to see her peacefully asleep. I pull the duvet over her a bit more. I can't help but wrap my arms around her waist. I let my eyes close as I drift off to sleep.
(Flora's POV)
I fall asleep with my head on Helia's chest, he's gently stroking my hair. It as making me very tired but I liked it so I didn't say anything or tell him to stop.
I see those guys I saw in my garden again. The four of them. I was standing behind a tree, it was dead and I could feel it's pain. It was burnt as well. "Those stupid fairies, once we have the three of them we can destroy those three stupid Winx girls and their boyfriends, those stupid Specialists." Duman says. The other guys roll their eyes. Wait what does he mean fairies? Is he on drugs or something I mean seriously!?
"They'll probably destroy themselves trying to rescue those three pathetic girls." Anagan laughs and the others join in.
"They're no match for us." Orogon laughs.
"Wizards we have a guest." Gantlos tells them pointing to where I am. What the fuck! How could he possibly of spotted me!? Everything goes black.
"Flora! Flora!" I hear a voice say gently. I open my eyes to see Helia. It was him! He looks worried. Thank God it was only a dream... well a nightmare. I sit up instantly. He's the only one in here as well as me and we are still in my bedroom. At least everything is fine. I can feel tears forming in my eyes before they start running down my face and I know there's no chance of me stopping them.
"H-H-Helia." I stutter. He rubs my back gently comforting me.
"It's okay Flora it was just a nightmare." Helia assure me pulling me slightly closer to him. I can't help but nuzzle my head into his chest as the tears run down my face landing on his shirt. He's surprised at firs but then he wraps an arm around my whispering softly in my ear until I'm calm once again. I manage to stop the tears. I slowly lift my head up from Helia's chest.
"S-s-sorry." I apologize embarrassed. He smiles.
"No problem." He assure me. "Now are you going to tell my what happened in your nightmare?" He asks gently. I shake my head even more embarrassed.
"No it was stupid." I tell him. He dries my eyes for me.
"Trust me Flo I've heard much worse, besides I'm not going to judge." He assures me. I take deep breath and nod letting my head rest on his shoulder.
"Those guys Orogon, Anagan, Gantlos and Duman." I start and I can already feel Helia tense up at the mention of their names. he nods wanting me to continue. "I was standing behind this tree, it was burnt and dead and I could feel what seemed to be it's pain, they were talking about getting three fairies and then destroying Musa, Tecna and Aisha, The Winx as well as you guys the Specialists." I explain, shivers running down my spine as I think back to it. Helia brushes a strand of hair out of my face.
"Don't worry Flora nothings going to happen." He assures me but I can't help but feel something will. I nod still unsure. Helia lifts my head up so I'mm looking him in the eyes. "Flora seriously don't worry nothing is going to happen, why don't we go to sleep." Helia says gently. I can't hep but nod. He lays down and so do I. I once again rest my head on his chest. I feel his arms wrap around my waist and pull me a little closer. With one of his hands he gently strokes my hair. I can't help but smile and let my breathing steady and eyes close as I peacefully fall asleep. The last thing I see is Helia smile before closing his eyes to go to sleep.
