Chapter 7:

He looked at the man who was facing the window, his back onto him. "Uncle?" The old man turned to him, his gaze immediately falling to his nephew's hand.

"What happened to your hand?" The old man rushed to his nephew, checking on the hand, looking it over carefully. "How did this happen?" The worried expression from Saladin's face made Helia feel even guiltier. He ran his left hand through his hair, combing his long blue hair away from his face, but he still didn't answer. "Was it from the Organisation?" Helia winced at the third question.

"In some ways, yes. In other's, no." He winced again at the expression that Saladin was giving him. "There was a mission, to sabotage the Huntik Foundation. We were at this old castle, but the team was well prepared. Defoe became terrified, and the idiot put a bomb in the place. To make the story short, to save Defoe and the team, I managed to contain it before it exploded. However, my right hand was gone. I couldn't get you to help me heal my hand, it was too late."

"Helia, you have to be more careful than that." Saladin scolded the boy.

"I know, but still. Anyway, more news." Saladin sat up straight attentive. "They have found out about us, but not through me. They are planning to get here as we speak. They need help. The Professor have teamed up with the three witches: Icy, Darcy and Stormy. Unless we let them, they're doomed. Luckily for us, I haven't been seen by any except for one of their member. If I can warn her about it, then we'll be safe."

Saladin nodded, looking thoughtful. "So, the witches take an interesting turn of events. Alright. Where will they be settling down in?"

Helia shrugged. "I have Zhalia's trust. If I can reveal myself to her without the others knowing, she can play along until we can reveal what we learnt and how. They plan to get here two days later."

"Alright. Now, what about the Professor?"

Helia bit his lip. "That's the thing. I'm not going to be with you when you reveal yourself along with the others. I'm going to have to stay with the Professor and inform you of what the Organisation plan on doing, unless I'm lucky, and the Professor wants me to find out about the team when they arrive."

"And the witches? They will surely recognize you."

He shook his head. "At the beginning, the Professor tried to hypnotize me into staying completely loyal to him. I've played along, and, so far, it worked. I don't get seen very often, not even Rassimov or Defoe know how I look like, except to do missions. Even if I do, the Organisation is still under the gist that I'm hypnotized, and that the Organisation sent me here as a spy. I'm afraid that even if they say it, and the witches desperately need their help, they will try to follow me. I can't send a lot of messages to you. They'll be watching everything I do. I can't blow my cover. I'm gonna have to try and get it to you without them knowing."

Saladin nodded. "But you still understand about what you are doing is a big risk, do you not? Does anyone else know about this?" His voice was stern.

"I do, uncle, and I'm ready to do it. I have had the Professor's trust for over a year, especially since I first joined. Even the others don't have as much trust that the Professor gives than to me." Helia hesitated. "And, yes. Flora."

"I'm not surprised, but tell her to be careful. And be careful yourself, Helia. Do not let this fact blind you."

"I'll still be cautious. Don't worry."

"Now, what are you going to do with that hand? You'll be walking around in broad daylight with it."

Helia sighed once again, pulling his fingerless glove over the mechanical hand, moving it slightly. "This will have to do for now. It'll take me about a month to get used to it. The glove won't make it so obvious."

"You don't wear the glove everywhere you go, you know? I know that you are ambidextrous, but that doesn't mean that you can go around using your left hand. What will happen when someone with a sharp eye spots you using your left hand when you are a right-handed?"

"I'll have to hide it, uncle."

"You know how big of a risk this is, Helia."

"I do, and I'm going to take the risk. It's better than nothing." Saladin heaved a sigh. Helia was stubborn when he wanted to be. "Very well then. I shall inform Headmistress Faragonda and Griffin." Helia nodded, before turning around, ready to go. "And Helia?" The man turned to him. "Be careful." With another nod, Helia vanished.

Saladin sighed, before calling the two Headmistresses. This won't be easy to explain.


"And you are saying that Helia is spying on them for us right now?" Faragonda asked, slightly concerned. Saladin sighed, before nodding.

"When he apparently dropped out of Red Fountain, it was because I found out about the other world. Knowing that the Seekers were dangerous, I sent Helia after it. He was Red Fountain's top student, and he didn't have any other excuse to not be there. He came back, and continued, because he managed to persuade the Professor, who already knew of our existence, to spy on us, therefore making it easier for him."

Griffin nodded, a thoughtful look on her face. "Are you going to reveal him to the team?"

Saladin shook his head. "He'll be in much bigger danger if the others knew. I think that it is safer to say that we shouldn't interfere, and let him do what he needs to do." His forehead was creased with worry for his nephew. Faragonda patted him on the shoulder. "Do not fret. We've met Helia before. He is smarter than you give him credit for. "

"I know, but that doesn't help the fact that he's in constant Danger of being discovered." Griffin bit her lip.

"Very well than. We shall get the Winx and the Specialists to welcome them, but keep the information to ourselves about how we know about them. We need their trust and alliance. When we finally get rid of those annoying and terrible excuses of witches, we shall reveal ourselves." The other two nodded, before the two Headmistresses disappeared. Saladin sighed again, looking out of the window.


AN: How was that? Press the button and tell me. I think I may have got the Winx Club characters too OOC. AND, I was bored, so double update.
