Hey, people! Thanks everyone for your amazing reviews! You are the best!
Here we have the last chapter before the revelations. Sorry it's a bit late, I just arrived in Paris, so I'm taking my time getting to see the city. I'll try to write a bit every day. This chapter will focus on episode 6X10, which is one of my favorites of Winx. As usual, I adapted it and added a few scenes or changed some.
First, with the shoutouts:
LostMirage: Breathtaking? Now that's new. Thanks! :) I gotta say you might be on the right track with that theory. I guess I got 'bouquineuse' right, I was searching for a term similar to bookworm, because in this story, Flora will be like Belle, from Beauty and the Beast. (one of my fav Disney movies, can't wait for the remake coming next year)
winxkate: I'm glad you enjoyed the Tecna X Timmy scenes! Those were totally unplanned. You have some really good theories, guess you'll see in the next few chapters.
AlexisPeaney: Wasn't it so sweet? I don't know where I came up with it, but it turned out so great. I'm glad it helped, I was hoping you'd pick up on some clues there. I agree, the unplanned usually turns out even better than the planned. That's certainly a good idea.
zezily: I think by now you can't believe anything she says. As the summary says, Flora lied about pretty much everything. She had her reasons, though, and they were good ones.
dance76326: You're so sweet! I'm so glad you love this story. You'll find out this chapter, but I'll develop it more in the next ones.
Another thing, I think this will be the last chapter that I'll post this year. :(:(:(I've been planning a one shot, about Flora and Helia of course, and I might post it on the 31st. SO, I WANNA WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! MAY 2017 BE YOUR YEAR AND A BETTER ONE THAN 2016.
At Alfea...
Miss Faragonda stared worriedly at the Winx as they stood in her office. The six fairies were sitting on comfortable chairs around the office as Daphne stood by the headmistress' side. "Winx, we have reasons to believe that the Trix are in possession of a very powerful book." The headmistress told them. "It is called Legendariun." She continued and the Winx shared knowing looks.
"So all those monsters..." Bloom started saying and Daphne interrupted her.
"Were brought to life by the book." She told them in a serious tone and Aisha and Musa gasped.
"Wait what? So that book has the ability to bring monsters to life?" Stella wondered curiously? At the mention of the Legendariun Flora remembered another powerful book that had even greater abilities and she gasped. It couldn't be it, could it? Could the book be the reason she had felt like something was wrong? The nature fairy stared at her friends, her eyes resting on Aisha. The fairy of waves had said nothing about the other book, but what if she knew about it? What if she had taken it?
"Indeed, Stella." The fairy of the shining sun had a terrified look on her face.
"Then what are we waiting for? We have to destroy it." Aisha firmly said. Her words were followed by a loud cry as the child in her arms started moving. "Lana, come on honey, be quiet." The baby cried even louder and everyone's attention went to the little girl as Aisha tried to calm her down.
"I think she's tired, she woke up so early today." Flora said as she approached the fairy of waves and the little girl stopped crying for a bit to look at her. Her blue eyes showed tiredness and she yawned. "My little flower wants to sleep, don't you?" Flora gently asked and the little girl stared at her a for a few minutes before extending her arm. Flora knew what that meant and she picked her up after receiving a nod from Aisha. As Flora arranged Lana on her arms so she could be more comfortable, Miss. Faragonda answered Aisha's previous question.
"I'm afraid that you have already tried to destroy the Legendariun, without knowing it." Bloom immediately recalled the day they had lost their powers.
"That's why the negative energy was so powerful." She commented and Tecna nodded in agreement as she recalled it as well.
"The Legendariun is indestructible." Daphne said sadly and then her expression turned to determination. "But we can lock it." She told them as she showed them a book that she had been holding.
"What's that, Daphne?" Aisha asked.
"It's a book about the Legendariun. It says here that there is a fairy called Eldora, she used to be it's guardian. It also says that she also kept a diary with instructions on how to lock the Legendariun, for she had been seeking the key. Unfortunately, there isn't much information on Eldora, I don't know if she's even alive." She lowered her head in disappointment and Bloom squeezed her shoulder.
"It's okay. This is plenty of information, Daphne. Good Work." She told her sister confidently and Daphne gave her a smile.
"That's why I need you to go on a trip to the Lost Library of Alexandria, in Egypt. That's the last location known of Eldora and the most likely place where her diary is." Miss Faragonda said seriously and Flora would be jumping with joy if it wasn't for the child in her arms.
"A library? That's so great!" The nature fairy exclaimed and Stella and Musa rolled their eyes. They never got why Flora was such a book fan, they had assumed that was Tecna's territory.
"It's settled then. We're going to Egypt." Bloom said firmly and the Winx said their goodbyes to Miss. Faragonda before leaving.
At Cloud Tower...
Selina didn't have to wait too long for Catherine to come back from her visit. As she looked at the blonde woman, she tried to guess whether or not Eldora was still alive, but that was impossible."So, you're back. How did it go?" She asked innocently and Catherine smiled.
"Perfectly. Eldora won't be saying anything about us to anyone." Selina felt goosebumps at the cold tone the older woman used.
"So you've killed her?" She asked curiously and an outraged and surprised look appeared on Catherine's face.
"But of course not! Who do you think I am? I don't go around killing people all the time. No, I simply erased her memories." Selina sighed in relief. "Now, my dear, it's about time we plan on how to get rid of our most important problem: the Winx." She told the young girl and both sat down on the bed and started planning the Winx's end until Selina was called by the Trix.
A few days later...
The specialists were spending their time on Aisha's gym, at Alfea, as they trained for their hard mission. With the Winx gone, they figured they might as well do something useful with their free time. "Come on guys, keep going!" Sky encouraged Helia and Timmy, who were the last ones to reach the finish line.
"Less than one minute. Yeah, I feel good!" Brandon mused as he looked at his watch. Helia and Timmy soon jumped and overpassed the line.
"I feel great! Best workout ever." Helia excitedly said as he gave Sky a thumbs up.
"Now what?" Thoren asked and Timmy answered, having just looked into his phone.
"We should reward ourselves. Tecna just sent me a message, they are back." The other specialists were glad to hear it and so they left the room and headed for the courtyard. Riven, however, remained in the room.
"Hey, Riven. Don't you wanna go see Musa?" Timmy asked him and Riven shook his head.
"Not now, I'd rather keep practicing." Timmy sighed, not liking the way that the maroon haired specialist had been acting lately.
"Okay, suit yourself." He told Riven before leaving the room. As soon as he was gone, Riven pulled out a notebook and a pen from his bag and went towards a chair. He sat down and started thinking of a way to continue the poem that he had been working on. It was supposed to be a surprise for Musa, a way to cheer her up since he could see that she was getting upset with being the only unengaged in the group, except for Bloom. He knew that she wanted him to propose, but he wasn't ready. Ten days ago he had gone to his mother's funeral, there was too much that he needed to resolve before he decided to get married.
At the courtyard...
The ship landed just as the specialists reached the courtyard. The Winx got out with smiles as they looked at their boyfriends/fiancées. "Hey, guys." Bloom was the first to say as she ran towards Sky and they hugged tightly. Stella also ran towards Brandon, knocking him to the ground.
"Nabu!" Aisha happily walked towards her husband and they shared a sweet kiss before she greeted her daughter. "Hey, my little mermaid." She kissed the top of the little girl's head. "Hmm. She smells so good. Did you give her a bath?" She asked Nabu with raised eyebrows. Giving Lana a bath was so hard that she didn't know Nabu could handle it on his own.
"No, I just showered her with perfume." Nabu jokingly said as he pulled he closer. Aisha glared at him before her look turned to worry as she remembered.
"So, did you talk to my parents?" Naby knew this was coming and he tried not to make it sound as bad as it actually was.
"I did, yesterday. I'm afraid the situation's not good, Aisha." The fairy of waves sighed.
"How bad is it?" She asked with tears in her eyes. He sighed as well.
"Your mother said that he couldn't even get out of bed last night." Aisha let the tears silently fall as she buried her head on his shoulder while he held her. Flora, who had been hugging Helia, walked over to the couple and signaled for Nabu to hand her the baby so that he could hug her entirely.
"Here, baby girl, come with Auntie Flora." She soothed the crying little girl as she was suddenly separated from her father. Helia stood by her side as he stared at the beautiful scene.
"Maybe I should try." He said after a few seconds and Flora nodded before handing him the bay. He was able to calm her down easily and even make her laugh when he made funny faces and the three of them laughed delightfully.
"Hey, Tecna." Timmy greeted his fiancée as he reached her and Musa. The fairy of Music had a disappointed look on her face as she didn't spot her boyfriend.
"Hey, Timmy." Tecna greeted him with a bright smile and the couple kissed firmly, something they would never do in public. Everyone was too busy to notice, though. Only Stella and Brandon did.
"Oh, no. Not them too!" The blonde complained and Brandon gave her a confused look.
"So, where's Riven?" Musa asked once Tecna and Timmy pulled apart and he sighed.
"He's training, but he told me to say hi." He said simply and Musa sighed as well. Her angry response would be left for later for a bright green light appeared from behind them and everyone stared at it, cautiously. When it diminished, there was a young girl with dirty blonde hair and fair skin. She smiled shyly at the group of people and the suspense of her identity was gone as Bloom smiled brightly.
"Selina! What are you doing here?" She asked the girl as a surprised look came to her face. The two old friends hugged.
"Thought I'd drop in, after I found out that you were here." Selina responded. Part of her felt guilty about the plan she was following, a plan that would result in Bloom getting hurt, but she knew that this was necessary.
"Selina was my best friend, growing up in Gardenia." Bloom said upon seeing her friends confused faces. Sky cast the young girl a suspicious glance.
"That's nice." Stella said while Tecna frowned as she looked at Bloom.
"I don't think you've ever mentioned her before." The technology fairy commented and Bloom shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know why, though. We were good friends for a couple of years." She told them and then she turned to Selina. "Now that you're here, tell me, what happened in Egypt?" The others were confused for they had no idea what she was talking about.
"I was searching for Eldora too. But then, the ceiling collapsed and I couldn't find you. I got scared, so I ran." Selina lied flawlessly and they all believed her, except for Flora and Sky. Flora because she knew a good liar when she saw one, having lied herself so many times and Sky because he felt something was off with Selina. Unfortunately, both kept quiet.
"Wait! Why were you searching for Eldora?" Tecna said as she looked at the young girl suspiciously.
"I knew her well, she was my fairy godmother." This piece of information surprised Bloom greatly.
"She was?" Selina nodded her head and the movement made the necklace that had been hidden under her shirt appear for a bit. It was black with a cross on the middle. It was enough for Flora to be very concerned, because she recognized it. But it couldn't be, it just couldn't.
"Yes. And the Trix found out about that, so they tried to kidnap me." Selina continued lying and they kept believing her.
"Seriously, what is their problem?" Stella said while tolling her eyes.
"Don't worry, Selina. You're safe with us." Bloom told her with a smile and they hugged once more. Selina wondered how could this have been so easy, these people were way too trusting for their own good.
"Well, since you know Eldora so well, you might be able to help us. We were just on our way to the Greenhouse to figure out what this is." Flora said once the two parted and she showed Selina the flower they had achieved on Earth, which was said to be Eldora's favorite one.
"Do you recognize it?" Bloom asked hopefully and Selina shook her head.
"No, I've never seen it before." Stella and Musa sighed in frustration.
"Well, there goes that." Musa said and Bloom gave her friends a confident yet firm look.
"Come on, Winx. We gotta go to the Greenhouse and figure this out."
"Wait! Before we go, we have to plan when we're going to celebrate." Stella excitedly said and everyone stared at her, confused.
"Celebrate what?" Flora asked and the blonde shook her head.
"You guys are so forgetful!" Stella complained and she cast them a look. "Tecna and Timmy's engagement, of course! We need to have a party!" She screamed and Aisha nodded her head in agreement.
"You know, Stell,we weren't thinking of having a party. Maybe just a dinner?" Tecna quietly asked and prepared herself for the blonde's outburst.
"Are you kidding me?" Stella exploded. "You got engaged. That's something most of us never thought would happen." She ignored Tecna's look and continued. "No, we have to celebrate!" Seeing how worked up she was, they knew it was of no use trying to change her mind, so they let her plan the party for that night and the Winx left for the Greenhouse.
At the Greenhouse...
The Winx got there easily, but it took them a while to enter it for Stella insisted on changing their outfits, as usual. Upon entering the grand place, they split up and looked for a copy of the flower in Flora's hand, Eldora's favorite flower.
"Guys, listen to this!" At Musa's call they were able to see a beautiful purple plant that made music. The Winx laughed while Selina was too concentrated on the plan she had agreed to.
"Stella, no! The flowers must be left in their natural habitat, we can't pick them." Flora scolded the sun fairy, who was trying to pick up a rose. Stella immediately stopped what she was doing and stepped aside as Flora came to smell the flowers that she had been seeing.
"This is the most amazing Greenhouse I've ever seen! If only I could be it's caretaker some day!" Flora excitedly said as she looked around the room, her green eyes shining.
"No one would be better at that than you, Flora." Bloom confidently told her best friend, who smiled. The others were too busy looking at them to notice it when Selina used her powers to put a spell on a few red roses nearby. Unfortunately for Flora, she chose those as the next flowers to check. Upon smelling them, she felt light and sleepy.
"What?" She muttered to herself as she felt the world start to spin and soon she lost her hold on one of the pots and fell to the ground. Aisha, who was showing baby Lana some orchids, was the first to notice that the nature fairy had fallen.
"Flora!" She screamed as she ran to her best friend's side. This caught the other's attention and they all came to meet Flora and Aisha. Lana started crying hard, so Aisha had to try to soothe her while Bloom checked Flora. The fairy of nature was almost unconscious as she felt like she had been paralyzed.
"Bloom, help." She pleaded in a weak voice. Bloom looked worriedly at the rest of them.
"Those roses must have poisoned her." Tecna smartly said and her face was pale.
"We have to do something." Aisha said firmly, still attempting to calm Lana down.
"But what? We're not experts on flowers or poisons!" Musa exclaimed exasperatedly. Selina smiled at them as she kept following the plan.
"Eldora taught me everything about plants and their poisons. I know exactly what the antidote is for red roses, but I need a lab or something similar so I can make it." The winx were impressed and relieved that there was a way to save Flora.
"Okay, then. So Selina and I will go to the potions room while you stay here with Flora and keep looking for Eldora's flower." Bloom told them and the others nodded.
"In the meantime, I'll get Palladium. He should be able to help us." Aisha told the remaining Winx as Bloom and Selina were gone. Hearing this, Selina used her powers once again to transform some plants into monsters. She needed to keep the Winx in the Greenhouse.
"Wow! What the hell?" Musa screamed, the first to notice the monsters. The four of them stared at the plants in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me?" Stella frustratedly screamed as she crossed her arms.
"This is the last thing we needed." Tecna face palmed.
"I'll call the guys and get Professor Palladium." Aisha said as she stood in front of Flora, protecting her. She knew that she couldn't fight, though, due to the child in her arms.
With Bloom and Selina...
The two reached the potion lab within minutes. "Selina, here's the potion room. Come on, we've got to be quick. The antidote must be here somewhere." The fairy of the dragon flame started searching the room desperately. Suddenly, a monster appeared in front of them, one of the plants Selina had conjured.
"Bloom!" She faked fear as she hid behind Bloom. The redhead gave her a reassuring look before transforming and creating a barrier around them.
"Okay, now I'll hold it off while you see what potions you can dig up." Selina looked around the room at a nearby table and she spotted a small tub with a skull. Catherine had said nothing about actually poisoning the Winx, but since she wanted them dead anyways, Selina guessed she'd take care of it herself.
"Selina, talk to me!" Bloom pleaded as she tried to hold off the monster. Selina quickly transferred the poison to another tub and showed it to her.
"I found a potion that will save Flora." Selina said and she threw the new tub at Bloom, who quickly caught it.
"You did it, Selina." The fairy of the dragon flame happily said as she stared at the tub. She missed the evil smirk coming to the other girl's face and her low words of victory.
"Yes, indeed." She muttered to herself as she hoped that the rest of the plan would go just as smoothly.
With Flora...
The fairy of nature had fallen unconscious due to the effects of the poison. She could feel herself slipping away and she thought to stay there, to stay alive. She needed to, her life was finally falling into place and she had found the happiness she had lost years ago. So she thought. She thought of Will, how he had always been there for her, how he was able to make her laugh at anytime or calm her down. He was everything to her and he had just been taken away. It was unfair, truly. She recalled one of her favorite moments with him, when he had taught her how to fight.
"Come on, Flora, you're doing good." The young boy with blonde hair said as he swung his sword repeatedly, managing to block most of her attacks.
"This is so hard." The young girl complained. She swung her sword once again and ended up losing balance. "Woah!" She was falling, but Will was quick and he helped her stand.
"There you go." He smiled at her as she regained her posture. She gave him a thankful smile.
"Thanks, Will. You're truly a gentleman." She mused and he laughed.
"Well, I was taught well, unlike you, milady. Who would have ever thought that such a fine lady like yourself would want to learn the art of sword fighting." She frowned at his comment and crossed her arms on her chest.
"The other ladies are stupid, knowing how to fight is very important. If I'm ever kidnapped, I'll be able to kick some ass!" The young girl said determinately and both laughed.
"You're too paranoid, of course you won't be kidnapped." Will rolled his eyes at her imagination and she gave him a serious look.
"I might be. But even if I'm never kidnapped, it's good to know how to defend myself." He nodded in agreement and they went back to fighting. Soon, she was able to get to him when he got distracted by a woman with fair skin and red hair who walked into the room. Flora took advantage of his guard being down and she stabbed him. Since the sword wasn't a simple toy, as she had been thinking, it penetrated his skin and both gasped when blood started coming from the wound.
"Oh My God! Will, I'm so sorry." Flora screamed exasperatedly as she removed the sword, causing him to cry out in pain. The woman who had entered the room quickly ran to them as her eyes showed horror.
"William! Oh, god! This is terrible, I must call Henry." She said once she reached Will and Flora. The young boy was bleeding a lot while the young girl constantly apologized and cried. "Calm down, sweetie. It wasn't your fault. Now, come. Let's get the king." She told them in a gentle yet firm tone. A guard that had been guarding the door entered upon hearing her scream and he picked up Will and lead him to the infirmary while the woman carried Flora to the king's office. The young girl was terrified for she knew that she would be punished for almost killing Will.
Hours later, when Will was fine after being bandaged up and Flora was left with only a warning, the two friends were left alone in the room.
"I really am sorry for hurting you, I didn't mean..." She started, but he interrupted her.
"Hey, it's okay, accidents happen." They laughed together as they recalled another accident from years before.
"Well, now you can tell everyone that you've been stabbed." She said and he smiled.
"Yes. I am a war hero." She rolled her eyes as he inflated his chest and pretended to be a soldier.
"You're so silly, Will. But I love you still, mon petit chat." He returned her smile as he hugged her tightly.
"As I love you, miss bouquineuse." It was then that they promised to always count on each other and trust each other. They were best friends and they would forever remain that.
With Sky and Helia...
The two specialists had been searching for the Winx as the others had sent them, so they found themselves at the headmistress' office. They knocked on the door and Miss. Griselda opened it and cast them a look. "I'm afraid that the headmistress is busy now, boys. You can come back later." She told them severely.
"Now, come on Griselda, let them in. This must be of great importance." Miss. Faragonda said from behind her as she and Professor Palladium were standing in front of a red couch where Miss. Griffin, recently transformed back in her human form, was lying. The two specialists gladly entered the room as Sky had a worried look on his face.
"Miss. Faragonda, have you seen the Winx?" He asked and Miss. Faragonda gave him a confused look.
"No. Why do you seek them, Sky? Is everything alright?" The worried headmistress asked. Helia couldn't shake the feeling that something was off and he knew that it must be related to Flora. So he wasted no time in speaking.
"Sky thinks that something's off with Bloom's old friend, Selina. And I also have this really bad feeling. My uncle always told me that those kind of feelings come from my magic and should not be ignored." He told the other occupants of the room. Miss Griffin was suddenly pale as she stared at the blue haired specialist.
"Did you just say Selina?" She questioned as she tried to stand up. She was still to weak, so she eventually gave up.
"Yes. Do you know her?" Sky asked, confused and suspicious.
"She's one of them. Selina's working for the Trix." Now this was one of those times when Sky wished that he had been wrong. Selina, working for the Trix? No good could come from this! Just then his phone and Helia's ringed and they opened it to find a new message from Aisha that made the blue haired specialist want to run as fast as he could.
Guys, you have to come to the Greenhouse, we need help! Flora was poisoned by red roses and now there are plant monsters all over the room. We need you, specialists!
The message left no doubt of the emergency of the situation. "We have to go." Helia said and Sky nodded. They started moving towards the door until they were stopped by another voice.
"Wait!" It was Professor Palladium, who had been rather quiet till then. "There's no use in going there until we have the antidote for Flora. I'm sure that the other specialists have gone there, so you two come with me so you can take it to her." Helia looked nervous and unsure, but he knew that the professor was right. They would be of no help if they didn't have the antidote. So he and Sky left with Palladium and went to the potion lab.
Back at the Greenhouse...
The other specialists, Thoren and Daphne reached the room just as Musa was hit hard by one of the plants. Exhausted, the music fairy had no energy to conjure up a barrier or fly away. She was sent flying across the room and would have hit another big tree if Riven hadn't caught her.
"Riven." She said as she stared at him. He smiled at her and she cast back a weak smile. "My hero." She said lowly and then she fell unconscious. Riven looked back at his friends worriedly.
"I'm sure she's just exhausted, Riven." Tecna said with difficulty as she attempted to keep up her barrier. Both she and Stella looked exhausted as well for they had been fighting the plant monsters for a while.
"I'm so glad you guys are here." Stella said happily and Brandon cast her a smile.
"Of course, love. We couldn't let you have all the fun." His joke earned him a glare from the sun fairy.
"Really? Then why don't you come here and have some fun, cause I'm sooo tired." She complained and the specialists easily complied as they took out their weapons and rushed to their side. Riven decided that he'd better stay with Musa, so he carried her to a corner away from the battle and sat down with her on is lap. Usually the others would have found this suspicious, knowing how much Riven loved to fight, but no one paid them much attention.
Nabu went to Aisha and noticed that she too wasn't in such a good shape. Lana had been put in a small crib on the ground and she was crying as her mother attempted to hold back two plants that tried to reach her and Flora.
"Aisha, you can let go of your shield." He told her as he had his staff ready to form a new one. She gave him a doubtful look, but she felt so weak and tired that she let go with a sigh. Nabu quickly build an even stronger barrier and he helped Aisha sit down near Flora and Lana."Here, stay with Lana that I'll protect you both." He told her with a reassuring smile.
Normally Aisha would have argued, but she was too tired for it. So she sat down and reached for Lana. After a few minutes, she managed to calm the little girl down and so she turned her attention back to her best friend. By now Flora was unconscious and her condition had worsened. She was too pale and her breaths were slowing down. Aisha knew that if Bloom took too long to come back, it would be too late. She couldn't bare to think that she might lose her best friend, so she tried to focus to listening to Flora's still beating heart. Not one minute later, Bloom came.
"I'm here." She called and everyone gave her relieved looks as they noticed the small tub in her hands.
"Good timing, Bloom. We'll continue keeping this guys busy, so you can help Flora." Brandon told her and she nodded before fastly flying towards the nature fairy.
"She doesn't look good." She worriedly told an exhausted Aisha, who cast her a sad look.
"No, but she's still alive. But hurry!" Bloom was about to put the antidote in Flora's mouth when it was shot down from her hands.
"Wait! What... What's going on?" The shocked and angry fairy asked. She looked back to find Helia and Sky coming into the Greenhouse. The blue haired specialist had a relieved look on his face while Sky just looked angry.
"That's no antidote Bloom!" He said firmly and Bloom thought that he was mad.
"Of course it was. Selina gave it to me." She argued and Sky sighed before he ran after Helia and towards Bloom, Aisha and Flora. Helia knelt down by the nature fairy's side and took a green tub from his pocket. "What's that?" A confused Bloom asked.
"This is the real antidote. I'm pretty sure that one is actually poison." He told her as he tried to contain his anger. It wasn't her fault, after all, she was tricked just as the rest of them. Bloom looked back at the spilled liquid that Selina had given her and shook her head. It couldn't be poison, it just couldn't.
"Helia." Everyone stopped what they were doing at the sound of her voice, something many thought they would never hear again. Her green eyes were opened as she stared at her fiancée in confusion, barely conscious.
"Flora! You're okay." He excitedly said as he gently caressed her cheek. She used her cold hands to grab his as she attempted to sit up. "You shouldn't make any swift movements, you were poisoned." He told her firmly as he picked her up and put her on his lap.
"Thank goodness." Aisha let out a sigh of relief. They were all relieved, except for Bloom. She had yet to understand what was happening.
"I don't understand." She muttered as her eyes moved towards the poison, Flora and Sky. The blonde specialist knelt by her side as he took her hand.
"I'm sorry that I'm the one to tell you this, Bloom, but Selina's not who you think. Miss. Griffin told us that she's been working with the Trix." Everyone gasped.
"The Trix? I would have never guessed that." Stella said from across the room. Bloom shook her head vigorously.
"No, it can't be! She tricked me!" She screamed as the truth finally sank. She threw herself in Sky's arms and started crying as he comforted her. There was no time for that, though,for a voice spoke from behind them.
"Yes, I did." Selina said with a smirk. Her voice echoed around the room as everyone stared at her in confusion.
"And you're stupid enough to come back here?" Aisha asked in rage as she stood up with Nabu's help. She handed him the baby as she got ready to fight against the person who had almost taken her best friend away.
"I'm not stupid. In fact, I think you're the ones that are stupid. You fell right into my trap." Selina was still smirking as she knew that this was going even better than she had hoped. If Flora had died it would've been better, but that was okay.
"Well, your evil plan didn't work, Flora's very much alive and we're gonna keep it that way." Bloom firmly told her after she left Sky's arms and faced the girl that had been her best friend for over 13 years, but was now her sworn enemy. The smile Selina gave her confused the fairy of the dragon flame.
"Okay, that's enough chatting." Another woman appeared, one the Winx had never seen before. She had a bored expression on her face as she stared at Selina. "Good work, Selina. I knew that I could count on you." She smiled at the young girl as she looked at the mess Selina had made. Upon spotting a certain nature fairy, her cold expression softened for a moment. Flora stared at her in disbelief, sure that she was hallucinating. "Later we'll discuss following orders, but overall you did good." The woman said after casting Selina a severe look.
"Who are you?" Stella asked from her place in Brandon's arms as she stared at the woman in confusion.
"We'll get to that soon. Now, it's time." She woman clapped her hands and looked at Selina, who used her magic to remove the Legendariun from her pocket.
"The Legendariun!" Bloom screamed as the Winx stared at the book with fear. If Selina had that book, they were in big trouble.
"I heard you've been looking for it." Selina asked them while she smirked upon seeing the look on their faces. Everyone was too busy looking at the book or Selina to notice that a certain nature fairy had left her lover's embrace and stood up. Said lover had stood up as well as he helped her.
"Mother?" She asked, now fully awake. Upon hearing the Winx question Catherine, she knew that this wasn't an hallucination. No, this was a living nightmare. Everyone stared at her like she was crazy as they tried to comprehend what she had just said. Catherine cast her a sad smile.
"My dear Flora. You've surely made a mess of things, but now, it's time to fix it." She said in an scolding tone and before anyone could stop her, she started glowing bright green, the same color Flora would glow when she used magic, and that same glow involved everyone in the room, except for Selina. The Winx and Specialists were even more confused as they stared at themselves. They knew this meant no good, but they couldn't stop whatever the strange woman was doing.
"Tornare alla realtá." (It's italian, once again) Catherine said once everyone was involved by the glow. Soon they all disappeared.
So, what are your thoughts? You know who Catherine is, but how is it possible? And where has she taken the Winx? How will everyone react once they find out that they're gone?
Did you like the Musa X Riven and Aisha X Naby scenes? What about the changes I made for the episode?
Next chapter the revelations will start. I will warn you in advance that it will take a few chapters for us to go back into the present, for Flora's backstory is a big one. There's a lot that you need to know. I'll probably post is somewhere around next week, I'm thinking either Tuesday or Wednesday. Depends on when I'll finish it. I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter and the story so far and that you'll also read the one shot I've planned. HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!
