Chapter 4 - Red Fountain
(Aisha's POV)

The boys walk us back to our dorms in the early hours of the morning after surprising yet amazing dates. We all went off as couples to do some activities and have a meal before meeting up at a club where we had fun as a big group. We walk into the dorm only to get our biggest surprise, for all of us. Flora and Helia are cuddled up next to each other asleep on the sofa with a random movie playing in front of them but by the looks of it they've been asleep for a while. "I was not expecting that." Sky says.

"Shush you'll wake them up." Tecna scolds him in a hushed voice.

"We should just leave them, Helia will go back in the morning or whenever he wakes up." Nabu says quietly and we all quietly murmur in agreement but unfortunately our quiet talking wakes Flora up.

"When did you all get back?" Flora asks us sleepily and I can't help but smile slightly amused.

"We literally just got here." Stella replies honestly.

"What time is it anyway?" Flora asks as she sits up causing Helia to wake up as well but he's not as sleepy as her.

"It's about 2-3am." Bloom answers her. Her eyes widen hearing the time. It's a shame we woke her up because she hasn't been sleeping well here, always having nightmares and waking up but she actually looked quite peaceful before.

"I'm going to go to bed then, I'll see you all in the morning." Flora informs her before whispering something quietly to Helia that we can't hear and leaving to go to our shared room.

"You girls should probably go to sleep yourselves." Timmy tells us once Flora is in our shared room.

"Yeah we will, how's Riven doing by the way?" I ask curiously remembering about Flora's brother. They must be worried about each other after spending so long together and now having to go to different schools.

"He's doing well, he's aloud out of the infirmary now and is staying in our dorm with us." Nabu assures me as he places his hand gently on my shoulder.

"Yeah I spoke to him before I came here and his injury is almost healed." Helia adds in to the conversation.

"Well anyway we better get going, we'll see you tomorrow girls." Brandon says before we all say our goodbyes and goodnights to each other. Once the guys have gone we all go to our rooms and get ready for bed before going straight to bed, all of us absolutely exhausted. Musa should be back tomorrow as well since she's spending the night at Melody. Maybe we should consider setting Flora and Helia up, they seem to like each other. I think we at least need to mention the idea of them being together to Flora and see how she feels. With those thoughts spinning around in my head I drift off into a peaceful sleep.

I wake up in the early afternoon with an aching head. I hear my phone ringing so I quickly answer it only to see it's Nabu along with some of the other guys. "Hey Aishas, uhh did I wake you?" He asks sounding slightly guilty.

"No I just woke up before you rang." I answer truthfully with a small yawn causing him to laugh.

"Well you seem to be the first up, Flora's here by the way and she looks exhausted, do you know why?" Nabu asks me a little concerned about her. I sigh as I get the feeling that I might know why.

"I don't know for sure but I don't think she's been sleeping well, she keeps having nightmares and waking up." I explain.

"That explains a lot." Nabu mumbles to himself. We talk for an hour or so before hanging up and it's a few hours later that the others wake up and Flora gets back.

"You okay Flora you look tired?" Bloom asks her noticing the dark bags under the brunette's eyes. She answers the question with a tired smile and a small nod which just makes us a bit more worried.

"Flora did you not sleep well?" Musa asks as she walks through the door. We all gasp as Musa has just got back from visiting her family on Melody!

"Musa, great to see you're back!" Flora giggles happily changing the subject. We get swept up into a conversation with Musa about her family, Melody, her home and everything that we don't have time to ask Flora any more questions. I guess we'll just have to talk to her about it another time. We spend hours just talking about everything, Musa filling us in about what happened on Melody, us filling each other in on our dates before filling Musa in on what we saw when we came back.

"Flora and Helia, it sounds right." Musa agrees with us.

"Of course it does, those two would be an amazing couple!" Stella squeals in excitement causing us all to laugh.

"Stella it is 100% Flora's and Helia's decision to either become a couple or just stay friends, it's not right to push them into doing something they don't want to do." Tecna tells Stella truthfully causing Flora to look a little relieved. I think all the talk about couples and dating is a bit overwhelming for her considering friends is a new concept for her as well.

"Don't look so relived, you're not going to be off the hook that easily." Bloom laughs seeing the relieved look that came across Flora's face. Flora's cheeks flush in embarrassment causing us all to laugh a little.

"Leave her alone, I think we've teased her enough for now." I tell them all as I put my arm around Flora's shoulders. Flora giggles as I pull away.

"Okay... but she only said for now." Musa replies with an evil grin. The bell rings for dinner interrupting our conversation

"Come on let's go and get a good place at the table." Flora says as she gets too her feet. We all nod in agreement knowing her hard it was to sit next to each other when we were late before. We all run to the dinner hall to get a good spot and eat.

After dinner we return to our dorms feeling tired. Our headaches, as a result of the previous night, seem to have gone now with the help of some antibiotics. We all get ready for bed before all of us go to bed as soon as we can.

I wake up at around midnight hearing a strange noise. I look in the area that the sound is coming from only to see Flora sitting bolt upright in her bed breathing heavily. She probably had another nightmare, she seems to be having them a lot. "Flora are you okay?" I ask her gently as I begin to get up to check on her. Her eyes widen in surprise after hearing my voice, she's probably shocked that I'm awake.

"Y-yeah I'm fine, sorry did I wake you?" She asks worried that she interrupted my sleep. I shrug a little not wanting to make her feel bad about waking me up as it really is no big deal.

"Yeah but I'm fine, are you sure that you're okay?" I ask her more concerned about her then anything else.

"Yes I am, I'm just going to go for a walk." She replies as she composes herself before using her magic to get dressed.

"Flora it's midnight." I point out still worried about her but she just shrugs in response as if she were used to it. I sigh knowing that she's going to go not matter what I say. I get up and use my magic to get myself dressed confusing Flora judging by the look on her face.

"I'm coming with you, I need to go to Red Fountain anyway to talk to Nabu. It's an emergency." I explain to her which is actually mainly true. She nods obviously believing me as we both leave Alfea for a midnight walk. We part ways as I head off to Red Fountain while she continues her walk around the forest.

I get to the guys' dorm and knock gently on the door only for it to be answered by a tired Helia. "Aisha?" He asks confused and surprised about me being here. I can't help but laugh a little.

"I need to speak to Nabu and Riven, it's important. About Flora." I explain. His eyes widen a little as I mention it being about Flora.

"Has something happened?" Helia instantly asks me concerned. Maybe Helia could help. I gasp quietly to myself as I think of the perfect plan.

"Come on Helia, you can be joined in with this conversation since you're so worried." I tell him slightly amused as we walk to Nabu's dorm. Once we're in there I close the door before gently shaking Nabu awake.

"Aisha?" Nabu asks me obviously confused by the fact that I'm here. I just nod as if to confirm that it's me before walking over to Riven. I gently shake him awke but once he's awake he just looks at me before turning over to try and go back to sleep.

"Riven it's about Flora." I tell him truthfully. He instantly freezes before sitting up like Nabu.

"What's happened?" He asks worried about his slightly younger sister.

"Riven I know this will sound strange but did Flora usually sleep well?" I ask him curiously. He sighs and shakes his head.

"No she had nightmares a lot and I'd have to spend a while calming her down, sometimes I had to stay with her or she wouldn't even try and go to sleep." Riven replies sadly as he thinks about the problems she's had to face.

"Well that crosses out the reason for not being used to Alfea." Nabu mumbles. I can't help but think back to our date before gasping as I suddenly come up with an idea that may just work and help Flora!

"I have an idea that could help her, I don't know for sure but..."

(Flora's POV)

I walk around the forest for a few hours clearing the memories of my nightmare from my mind when I suddenly bump into Aisha! I guess she's sorted out whatever emergency it was with the guys. "Flora why are you still out here?" Aisha asks me confused but I shrug not really wanting to tell her about my nightmare in case she asks what happened or something.

"Have you sorted everything out with the guys?" I ask her curiously as we begin walking through the forest together.

"Yes, everything should be sorted." She answers me but I can't help but notice the fact that she said should as if she doesn't really know for sure. Before I can ask her why she said should she starts to talk again. "Let's get back to Alfea, it's about 3 am so we can still get some sleep." Aisha tells me. I nod not really wanting to argue as we walk back to Alfea.

(Musa's POV)

I wake up early in the morning and walk out to see Flora watching movies again. "No sleep?" I ask her curiously. She sighs as she turns to face me.

"No." She answers me sadly. I sigh, she needs to sleep or she'll make herself ill.

"Flora I need to go to Red Fountain to deliver a few things to Saladin that he wanted me to get from Melody, could you please tell the others?" I ask her hopefully as I grab my bag with the stuff in.

"Of course, I'm happy to help." She replies kindly with a cheerful tone in her tired voice.

"Thanks Flo." I thank her before leaving. I walk to Red Fountain and give the stuff to Saladin before going to the guys' dorm to catch up with them as it seems like a while since I've spoken to them. I get in there only to see that it's empty surprisingly. The guys are rarely ever out without us knowing and I know their lessons don't start this early. I'm about to leave when I hear a voice.

"You're one of the girls that was with them when you found me and my sister aren't you?" The voice asks me. I turn to see Flora's brother. They look so different and I know Flora is my friend and everything but I just can't hep but be attracted to him. He has spiky magenta hair, violet eyes and fair skin, I don't really have a type when it comes to boys as they have never really been my thing but I think he's just changed that. "Are you going to introduce yourself?" He asks slightly amused as he catches me staring. I look down trying not to let him see my reddening cheeks.

"I'm Musa." I introduce myself.

"I'm Riven."
