AN=Guys, I'm updating a chapter on my phone for the first time. Reason? I'm going on holiday for 8 days and I can't bear to leave this story hanging (especially since I want them back asap.)...so I'm sorry if the chapter quality isn't the best. Nevertheless enjoy this chapter and Merry Christmas in advance!
Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Winx. Absolutely nothing.
Flora shook Musa continuosly.
Musa groaned and turned to the other side of her bed before she found another resting position.
'Musa, I have to bring you to some where now!' Flora told Musa as she tried to drag the Guardian fairy of Music up.
Musa's head still remained on the pillow despite Flora pulling her up.
'Flo, what's with the wake up call?' Musa asked Flora as her eyes still remained shut. The day before, Alfea was holding an Awards Ceremony and the only two Guardian fairies were busily working their asses off, attending to parents of young fairies, making sure every thing was well-coordinated.
That should explain Musa's hesitance to get out of bed.
'We're going to Lynphea!' Flora told Musa excitedly. Musa lifted up a hand and gestured her to explain. Flora was hesitant to explain the real reason for the trip.
'We'll be going there to find some potions and herbs that are useful for Alfea.' Flora fibbed and hoped that Musa wouldn't question her intentions.
'Riven and Helia will be there.' Flora said to Musa, in an attempt to distract her. Musa immediately opened her eyes. 'I'll be ready in 10 minutes.' Musa told Flora and hopped out of bed.
Flora did not expect Musa to react just at the mention of Riven. Flora quickly dropped Helia a text, saying that they will be at Red fountain earlier.
{Meanwhile}
Riven jolted up at the mention of Musa's name.
'Why are we going to Lynphea?' Riven asked Helia, sounding interested. That was not the case until Musa's name was brought up.
'Are you already head over heels for Musa already despite being just friends?' Helia asked Riven, who was still on his bed. 'Correction, Helia, I was always head over heels for her. I just didn't know what overcame me that time.' Riven answered.
Helia paused as he looked at the text message Flora had sent him.
'We're going to Lynphea to get answers with the two present Winx girls. Get your ass up and they will be here in 10 minutes.' Helia said and Riven immediately leapt out of bed, heading for the bathroom.
Helia gave a chuckle and shook his head.
'Let's just hope that Flora is right.' Helia thought as he waited for the magenta hair specialist to get ready.
- Foyer of Red Fountain -
Many students stared at Flora and Musa as the two Winx waited for Helia and Riven. They sat there awkwardly as glances and looks were being thrown to them.
'Imagine if I came to teach here. Things would get complicated.' Flora said to Musa. Musa nodded in reply. 'I must have forgotten that this is an all-boys school.' Musa told Flora and Flora laughed
'Let's go.' Helia said as he and Riven walked to the girls. Flora stood up and gave him a quick hug. Riven and Musa exchanged glances and small waves.
- Lynphea College -
'I've heard from Miele that it's a half day for the students on Saturday. So they should be done with lessons soon.' Flora said
'Why did we need to come here again?' Musa asked Flora.
'Investigation.' Helia replied for Flora.
'Investigate what?' Riven asked Helia and Flora.
Silence filled the four until a voice called out for Flora. 'Flora!'
Flora stood up and whirled around. 'Miele!' Flora cried out excitedly and hugged her little sister. 'How are you, Miele? Let me introduce to you my friends.'
'This is Musa, Helia, my boyfriend, and Riven!' Flora introduced Miele to the other 3 people by her side. Miele gave a small bow and smile to the 3. 'Hello there. I'm Miele.'
'I'm good, Flora. I've gotten a new transformation too!' Miele told Flora excitedly. 'That's great! Besides visiting you, Miele, I need to find out some spells, potions and herbs you girls at Lynphea have.' Flora brought Miele to a corner and told her other reason for the visit.
'What section are the spells and potions under?' Miele asked curiously as Flora now had a slightly uncomfortable look on her face. 'Dark potion and personality alteration potion and spells.'
Miele gasped and looked at her sister in horror. 'Have you heard of a spell or potion that can change a person's attitude and personality?' Flora asked and Miele nodded.
'We learnt it in potions and spells class.' Miele continued. Flora knew that it had to be that spell or potion.
Miele and Flora walked back to Helia, Musa and Riven. Flora looked at Helia and nodded her head.
'Musa, Riven, we need to show you something.' Flora said to Musa and Riven. 'Miele, please lead the way to the library.' Helia said to Miele and Miele nodded.
- Lynphea College's Library -
Miele, Helia and Flora rummaged the bookshelves swiftly.
On the other hand, Musa and Riven just looked at them and blinked.
Flora looked behind Riven and Musa and smirked. 'Riven, Musa, why don't you two take a walk a while. Helia, Miele and I make take quite awhile.'
'If you say so, Flora.' Riven said and dragged Musa out. 'See you two soon.' Musa waved to the 3 by the bookshelves.
'What a great way to chase them away.' Helia said to Flora, impressed. 'I'm not chasing them away, I'm giving them social opportunity.' Flora replied and Miele chuckled.
It took Flora and Helia another hour before Miele found the book they needed.
'Flora, Helia, I found the book!' Miele said and rushed to the table and opened the pages. Flora and Helia halted and walked to Miele.
'So it is true...' Helia said with an aghast look after he and Flora stared at the spell. Flora shut the book tight and ran out of the library with the book.
Helia and Miele looked at each other before following Flora.
Musa and Riven took a walk by the Treants and saw some students of Lynphea college.
'I really don't know what Flora is investigating. Why Lynphea?' Musa questioned out loud and Riven nodded.
'We lost our Sirenix powers after coming here.' Musa said and laughed. 'While you girls lost Sirenix, we gained new weapons.' Riven told Musa.
'Now that you put it that way, we seem like a sacrifice.' Musa said back to Riven. 'Hey, wasn't Brandon the one who invited Stella and the rest over?' Riven shot back at her, 'Even if you girls didn't come, we would have gotten the weapons.'
'That's true.' Musa laughed. Just then, Riven stopped Musa from walking. 'Wait, Musa.' Riven called out to her, holding her wrist. 'What's wrong, Riven?' Musa asked as she looked down at Riven's hand grabbing her wrist.
'That fairy.' Riven said and looked at another fairy a distance away. Musa followed his gaze and saw a fairy sitting with her friends.
The fairy felt two gazes at her and turned to face them. Upon seeing Riven, she smirked but rolled her eyes at Musa.
Phyllis told her friends to go on without her and they left her side.
'What a bitch.' Musa muttered angrily and turned away.
'Hello, my name is Phyllis. Nice to meet you two.' Musa turned around to the voice. The fairy was now in front of them. 'Mind if I ask, are you two together?' The fairy student names Phyllis asked.
'Who are you to meddle in our business?' Riven asked, annoyed with the question. 'I've meddled with you two before.' Phyllis replied Riven with another smirk.
Musa never felt such a strong urge to punch someone in the face before.
'You don't remember me at all?' Phyllis asked Riven. Riven closed his eyes with a disturbed expression. 'You are the one who gave us the tour around the school.' Riven answered.
'You're much brighter than your looks.' Phyllis said, still holding her smirk. 'DID SHE JUST INSULTED RIVEN?' Musa thought as her eyes widened.
'Thanks for the compliment. What are you trying to do? You are up to something.' Riven said to Phyllis and Musa turned to Riven.
'It all makes sense now. The last time we met, you had the same look and you did something.' Riven said. Phyllis gave a chortle.
'So you did break from the spell.' Phyllis said and sighed. 'That's okay. I guess I can increase the intensity. and start it all over again.' Phyllis continued with a smirk.
By now, the Lynphea College Park was deserted except the three of them.
'Bloomix!' Musa said and transformed and hovered in front of Riven. Phyllis was actually impressed with Musa's fairy form.
'Don't you dare try anything.' Musa glared at Phyllis with gritted her teeth and clenched fists. 'Then I guess I would have to take you out!' Phyllis said and transformed.
'That aura...' Riven said as she transformed. 'What is it?' Musa said to Riven who was still behind her.
'She's...she's...Diaspro's younger sister!' Riven said and took a step back. 'Glad you figured it out now. That Sky couldn't even regconise his former potential sister-in-law.'
'When my sister was head over heels, or, really obessive over Sky, I like you, Riven, for a very long time, even now.' Phyllis said sweetly. Riven shivered with disgust while Musa's blood pressure increased.
'That's it, Infinite echo!' Musa said and blasted at Phyllis. Phyllis got shot back and landed on the ground.
Phyllis placed a hand on the ground and roots started to twist around Musa's wrist, ankles and stomach.
'Since my plan did not work, I have to do it differently.' Phyllis said, her smirk becoming an evil grin. 'Get away from her.' Riven said and tossed his boomerang, stopping her attack.
One of Phyllis' roots snaked up Musa's back and made it's way to her neck. Before Musa could realise, the root was strangling her neck.
'Ri-Riven!' Musa choked between her breaths. Riven ran to her and tried to pull the roots. However, the roots only tightened.
'If you want to save your purple bitch back, you will get married to me.' Phyllis said and flew towards them.
'Not on my watch.' Flora appeared and transformed into her Bloomix form.
'PHYLLIS?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?' Miele transformed into her new fairy form and charged straight towards Phyllis. 'Flora, save Musa. I'll handle Phyllis.' Miele said.
Musa was turning purple with the lack of oxygen going through her body. 'Don't freak out. Remain calm.' Riven said and he struggled with the roots.
Musa was closing her eyes and forced herself to remain awake.
Flora flew towards Musa and placed her hand on the roots. As soon as the roots released Musa, she reverted back to her normal form and fainted. Riven caught her collapsing, weak frame.
Helia, Riven and Flora turned to see Miele and Phyllis fighting it out. 'I wouldn't want to get on your sister's bad side.' Helia said to Flora. Flora beamed before saying, 'That's my little sister.'
Miele shot a final shot that knocked out Phyllis.
'Phyllis will wake up soon.' Miele said and transformed back to her normal form. 'Do you guys have fights that frequent in school?' Flora asked as Riven carried Musa in his arms.
'Too frequent as a matter of fact.' Miele said. 'But that makes us stronger.' Miele continued with a smile. 'You certainly are stronger now, little sister. Now let's go to some place where we can interogate Phyllis and explain the situation to Riven and Musa.' Flora said.
Helia picked up Phyllis and toss her over his back.
They went to Lynphea College's rooftop and Flora kept on reading the spell.
'It's a spell that only powerful magic can break it. As predicted, Musa's music might have broken the spell, which caused Riven to come to his senses.' Flora said.
'Why did she do that to Riven?' Helia wondered curiously. 'She said she likes me.' Riven told Helia, Flora and Miele. 'Even if the sky fell, I would never like her.'
'Eurghh' Musa groaned as she became conscious. She lifted her head off Riven's lap and looked around.
'What happened?' Musa asked them. 'We'll explain everything from the beginning.' Flora said and Musa relaxed.
'This started when the Specialists came to Lynphea to train with the Paladins. A group of girls guided the Specialists around Lynphea and Phyllis was one of them.' Miele started.
'Turns out, Phyllis likes Riven for a long time, and she probably heard from her sister, Diaspro, that all of the Specialists had girlfriends, which prompted Phyllis to do the spell.'
'Spell? What kind of spell?' Musa asked curiously. Flora showed Musa the spell book. Musa almost dropped the book after reading it.
'The inner change spell...will cause the person affected by the spell to change, personality wise and the way he treats other people. The closer the person is to the affected person, the more hurt, the other party would experience..' Musa read out.
'Side effects, competitiveness, arrogance, wrong priorities and self-centered. That was you, definitely you.' Musa said and directed the last sentence to Riven.
'I was under a spell!' Riven defended. 'I know.' Musa said.
When Phyllis woke up, she was met with 5 faces staring at her. Phyllis backed away, only to find a wall behind her.
'You bitch, jeopardizing my relationship just for yours. But you still fail..' Musa said angrily.
'Why did you do that spell?' Flora asked Phyllis calmly. 'Simple, to break Musa and Riven up.' Phyllis said it out like it was walk in a park.
'For what purpose?' Miele asked and raised an eyebrow.
'One, to show that I am better than my sister and two, because I want to marry Riven.' Phyllis said and shrugged. Riven blanched and was on the verge of puking whatever he had for dinner the previous day.
'You selfish woman. Get out of my sight now and if you ever dare to pull a trick like this to any of my friends and their boyfriends, you are getting it from me.' Musa told Phyllis strictly, tossed her hair back and stormed away from them.
'How dare she try to take Riven away from me.' Musa muttered under her breath as she sat on a bench.
The others chased after her after she had stormed off.
{An hour later}
'Hey' Riven said and sat beside her. 'Hey there.' Musa said back to Riven. 'I can't believe an annoying fairy could break us up. We're so good during the Tritannus Saga and just because of a spell, we were sent crumbling down. Why?'
'Flora guessed that the spell causes the person to repel powerful beings. You are a powerful fairy, Phyllis knew that she couldn't bring us down the offensive way.' Riven said.
'Honestly, Riven, even after with the clarification, I'm actually wondering if we are still meant to be together.' Musa told Riven. 'I was thinking about that as I came here.' Musa revealed her inner conflict to Riven.
'What if fate brought her in to break us up because we aren't meant to be?' Musa said to Riven, her voice laced with insecurity.
'She is only a test. We both know we like each other and we know we cannot be together yet but we both know that we will be together some day.' Riven told Musa.
'That's how I see it.' Riven continued his sentence and held Musa's hand, giving a small squeeze. 'I hope you're right. We can do this.' Musa said and smiled.
Before Riven could move any muscle, Musa zoomed to his face and gave him a light peck.
'We should go and find the others.' Musa said with a smile and walked on, her long blue hair swaying gently as she walked.
'I don't know how she does it but I think I've just fallen deeper in love with her.' Riven muttered to himself before catching up with Musa.
That's all for now! Hopefully I can finish this stpry before 2016 hoho (This story isn't supposed to be a long one).
As usual, leave a review and tell me what you think!
