Chapter 7: The Curse

Flora's P.O.V

Its been over a month since we've been working for the Royal Family.

A lot of things have happen. We became really good friends with all the other servants and the chefs. My mom is starting to show some with her pregnancy. So she's taking it easy. And then there's Helia and me. I am in love with him. I kept denying it since we hung out that first night together. But that changed when I was on the phone with the girls.

Flashback:

After lunch with Helia, Miele and I went back to room. Miele got a book from under her bed and I decided to conference call all my friends.

"Put it on speaker. I want to talk to them too." Miele said looking at me from her bed. I nodded and pushed the speaker button.

"Oh my gosh, Flora, we heard what happen are you okay?" Aisha asked me.

"I'm fine. Its actually not that bad." I answered.

"Not that bad!? Flora look at what you and your family is succumb too. And you said its not that bad!?" Stella shrieked.

"Stella!" All the other girls yelled.

"Flora is not like you and freak out at the thought of doing chores." Musa said.

"Of course not. That's servants job." Stella said.

"Stella!" All the other girls shouted again.

"Oh right, sorry Flora. That was insensitive of me." Stella said.

"Its all right." I said.

"So how's it like living in the same place as your crush?" Stella asked changing the subject. I instantly blushed at that and Miele giggled. I turn at her and glared.

I told them all about the night before and our lunch together.

"oooooooooo." All of them said in unison.

I just rolled my eyes. "Oh come on guys. Its not like that. Besides he's a prince and I'm a loser." I said sadly.

"Flora you are NOT a loser." Aisha said angrily.

"Yeah, Helia would be dumb to not like you." Bloom assured me.

"And you are pretty and he is one of the most handsomest prince in the magic dimension that you two will make a perfect couple." Classic Stella making things about looks.

"That just it I don't think I'm pretty at all. I'm just plain." I said.

"For once, Stella's right Flora, You are pretty. Actually you're more than that, You're beautiful." Aisha said.

"Yeah." All the other girls said.

"Thanks guys."

"And just so you know, Aisha, I am always right." Stella said.

"Whatever floats you boat Stel." Aisha said. Stella just grunted and we all burst out laughing.

"So tell us about Helia." Tecna said.

"Well, he's really sweet and really cute. We are friends now and so far he seems like a good friend. So him and I get along great. Him and Miele as well." I said.

"You're missing the most important Flora." Miele said.

"What important part?" Tecna asked curiously.

"Helia is in love with Flora." Miele answered.

"WhAT!? How can you not tell us this Flora?" Stella said freaking out.

"Because he's not." I said glaring at Miele.

"Oh come on, he so is. When we went out last night he paid for everything, he blushed when you complimented him, and he called you beautiful when you tried on that dress. Today at lunch he kept asking you questions and he said you'll be the most beautiful one at Stella's party. And he loves your singing and piano playing. Its really obvious Flora." Miele said.

"A girl from my own heart. She is right though Flora it is obvious he so likes you." Stella said.

"I don't know." I replied.

"Oh come on, Flora. He seems like he loves you. And I think you're in love with him too." Aisha said. I guess nothing can get passed her. I admit my feelings for him has increased.

"Okay, I admit I am in love with him." I said.

"I knew it." All the girls said excitedly.

"Don't get to excited. Because I don't know if he loves me back." I said,

"Trust me, after all what Miele said, he does." Stella said.

"He's just being nice." I countered.

"Flora, there is a difference between being nice and being too nice. And it sounds like Helia is being too nice, which he likes or loves or whatever." Stella said.

I bit my lip and process this. I guess I'll give it a shot after all.

Flashback ends.

With a lot of coaxing from Miele and the girls. I decided to tell him how I feel. But with every attempt I made it always failed. Someone interrupted us, I have to do chores, he has to do princely duties, and well sometimes I'm just too shy.

But today I'm ready. I walked up to the kitchen to the dining hall. Standing in the doorway I see him climbing up the one of the grand staircases.

"Helia!" I shouted. He turned around and saw me. But before I can go to him everything goes black.

Helia's P.O.V

"Flora!" I shouted running towards her.

"I don't think so Prince Helia." a high-pichted voice snarl.

"Zatura!" I exclaimed looking towards the ceiling and there she is. Zatura is a evil witch of the magic dimension and my grandfather's enemy. They fought loads of times. Last time I helped locked her in the omega dimension. But apparently she escaped. She has dark tan skin, long black purplish hair, not to mention she is way too skinny.

"What do you want!?" I yelled.

"For revenge. And going after him will probably get me kill. So I'm going to get my reveng on you." She said.

"Not for long." I said putting my laser string glove on.

"Oh that's so cute. You think you can actually defeat with that. Yeah right." She said.

"You won't think its so cute once I send you to the Omega Dimension." I said bringing my hand back to get my strings ready.

"We'll see about that." She said smirking, she lift her hands up and dark purple lightning surround her. "I'm out for my revenge to say the least. Turn Prince Helia into a beast." She chanted bringing her hands in the air and aim at me.

I fell on my back and felt my body shaking. I was defenseless. I can't believe this. I feel the transformation coming and my eyes is starting to close.

"Goodbye, Prince Helia. Or should I said Beast Helia." She said smirking at me and left.
