Chapter 11: Safe and Sound

Hi guys, sorry not updating this story. I'm doing math homework right now! Sorry for not updating yesterday! I wish math was less complicated these days…anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Time for R2R

Thank you ShiningSunray & NickyAnn6 for reviewing. And for SunnyPandaz1 and hannahs77, I also don't like Isabel as myself too. The transformation that Stella is on now is her Winx form, so she'll get her Charmix probably later on. Amore won't be coming until…next time. And Isabel acts like a witch! Thanks for reviewing.

Chapter 11: Safe and Sound

Stella's P.O.V

Should I trust her? I mean, she showed proof…but she's my enemy. And why is she hurting me just because of Brandon? To be honest, I don't like Brandon anymore…wait, I didn't even like him! I felt so sick…the tornado is going to make my head explode.

I remember tears streaming down your face
when I said; I'll never let you go

Is there even going to be someone who'll save me? I'm going to die soon…no one isn't there for me. I guess Brandon actually likes her girlfriend better than me. I'm such a fool for falling in love with some…commander. Why did I have to fall in love with him? Why wouldn't I fall in love with some other Prince?

When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, don't leave me here alone

I guess no one even likes me. Not even my father…no one loves or likes me. I'm just a spoiled princess who gets whatever what she wants. In minutes…seconds, I'm going to die. I wish I had wished for something else. Not for something exciting. Like something that I always wanted…but today, my life is going to end.

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

"Hey Isabel, let go of her!" some man shouted. Who is that? I can't…my head…I'm going to—

Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
you'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
come morning light

Brandon's P.O.V

Isabel turned around, and saw us. Behind me, were Stella's bodyguards, Sky, Bloom, King Radius, Winx, and the Specialists. Oh how I missed them. She stopped that tornado, and went over to me. She hugged me, and I was full of disgust.

"Brandon! You're here! Now go kill that girl for once and all!" she said while pointing at Stella. I pushed her off of me, and slapped her face. She looked at me in shock, and touched her face. "Brandon? Why did you hurt me?"

"You're the one who is hurting someone. You're hurting the Princess of Solaria. And you're also hurting King Radius," I said sharply. She took some steps behind, and crossed her hands together near her chest. She was showing an X.

"Princess, King, whatever. She's the one who is stealing you away from me!" she shouted. Stella's body soon to drop, and I quickly sprint over there to get Stella. She was now in my hands, and the Winx and Specialists soon started to attack her.

"Brandon! You go take care of Stella while the rest of us go attack her!" Sky shouted. I nodded, and one of the guards went in front of me. I was confused, but they had spoken their words.

"Don't worry about us. We'll fight her, and you make sure Princess Stella is safe and sound," one of them said. I nodded, and I soon went up to the palace.

You and I'll be safe and sound

"Hey Sky! It's been such a decade since we stopped fighting with each other!" Riven said.

"I know! It's a good thing we could fight one more time! I haven't been battling in such a long time!" Sky said.

I was already inside the palace, and I couldn't hear their conversation anymore. Stella was peacefully in my hands, and I just smiled to look at her. Some Solarian servants came up to me, and they showed me where Stella's room is. I said thank you, and I went to their direction. A huge door appeared, and I opened the door. It was Stella's room. I sighed, and I closed the door. I placed Stella on the bed, and I quickly locked the door.

Don't you dare look out your window darling

After a couple minutes, I heard some knocking on the door. I quickly got up, and I opened the door. It showed Bloom, who was smiling. She walked inside, and I closed the door—and locked it. I walked over to Stella, and I placed my hand on her forehead.

"Isabel had fled. She said she'll come back. The others went to get some rest, but I came here to check on you guys," she said. I nodded, and I played with Stella's long blonde hair.

"That's good. I'll be with them later on…I just want to check on Stella. Tell the others that I'll be with them soon," I said. Bloom nodded, and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"You must care a lot of her don't you?" she asked. I nodded, and I placed my warm hand on her soft and cold cheek.

Everything's on fire
the war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
even when the music's gone

"Yes, I do. I lied and hurt her already. I don't want to treat her like that ever again," I said. I got up, and I wiped some dirt off my clothes. "Can you please make sure that Stella is safe and sound? I'm going to say hi to the others."

She nodded. Before I left, I quickly went near Stella, and kissed her forehead. I looked at Bloom, and sighed. "Please don't tell Stella about this…she won't feel the same." Within that, I left.

Just close your eyes
the sun is going down
you'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
come morning light
you and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
you'll be alright
come morning light,
you and I'll be safe and sound...

When the morning came, a few nurses and a doctor went to check on Stella. Brandon was still there, and he had make it up to King Radius. He told King Radius that he was sorry for giving Stella a hard time. He accepted his apology, and King Radius was now a friend of Brandon. Both of them were waiting outside of Stella's room. Sky and Bloom were also with them. The Specialists and the Winx went back to their realms. They did not had school today since it was the middle of summer. Brandon wanted Stella to be safe. He didn't want to loose her. If he did, he'll be the saddest man in the whole Magic Dimension. For King Radius, he'll be the only one left in his family. He'll give the throne to the second wealthiest man in Solaria. But the citizens loved him, but it was his choice. Brandon was swearing and making insults to himself after all he did to Stella. He will never forgive himself on what he did. It was all his fault since Stella was going to live or die. Brandon blamed himself.

The nurses swiftly opened the door, and they had sad faces. You couldn't actually tell their faces. The doctor soon had a clipboard in his hands. He fixed his glasses, and read it. Bloom and Sky went up, and they were itching to wait for an answer. King Radius got up. Brandon was holding onto his clothes. He was hurting himself. The doctor soon cleared his throat, and blinked slowly. He wasn't telling the answer. King Radius walked over to him, and raised an eyebrow on him.

"So Doc, how's Stella? Is everything okay?" Sky started off. King Radius sighed.

"Please tell us, did she make it?" King Radius asked.

"Well...the results were..." he started off, but Brandon soon interrupted him.

"Just tell us the answer!" he shouted. Sky soon pushed Brandon away from the doctor so he wouldn't be hurt. He sighed, and the doctor closed his eyes. Everybody was waiting for an answer. They wanted Stella to still be alive. They didn't want her to be dead and all. Brandon them thought of flashback.

"Have about I tell you after the end of this wonderful song Princess?" he said. Brandon felt pretty nervous now. The song was soothing, and it was getting to the soothing part. Then, other people soon joined the song. When everyone was blocking Stella and Brandon, Stella placed her head on his chest.

"This song is really nice," Stella said. She lifted her chin to see the man with the white mask. "Why are you wearing a mask? I'm sure of you that you have a more handsome face then that mask."

"I thought I could be a little bit fashionable for this ball. But, no one in here isn't wearing a mask," Brandon said. Stella laughed.

"You know, maybe we could get some fresh air. Come with me outside. I bet not anyone won't see us going anywhere," Stella said. Brandon nodded. So, Stella grabbed Brandon's hand, and they went outside. Luckily, no one noticed them leaving.

"It's such a beautiful time here the man with the white mask," Stella said. She turned around to see Brandon, who was just looking at the fountain. "Are you bored or anything? You can go now…I just wanted some fresh air." Brandon got up, and placed his hand on Stella's shoulder.

"No, it's fine. I was just asking…do you want to meet up to see each other again? I mean, I want to see you one more time, but…you may be busy. Do you want to go to the mall together tomorrow at three?" Brandon asked. Stella smiled.

"Of course, I'd like to go. But you better not wear that white mask of yours. I want to see your real face," Stella said. Brandon chuckled.

"Yay! So, is there anything else you want to do? Do you want to go back there and continue dancing?" Brandon asked. Stella shook her head.

The whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

"I just want to…see your face. I'll close my eyes. Can I just…touch your face?" Stella asked. Brandon sighed.

"Anything for you Princess," he said. Stella closed her eyes, and Brandon removed his mask. "There, it's off." Stella then caressed Brandon's cheek. Stella tip toed to reach Brandon. He sighed, and it looks like they were going to kiss.

It was getting closer. They will kiss each other. It's no longer than in inch. Their faces are really close to each other. Brandon closed his eyes, and he kissed Stella's soft and tender lips. It was a passionate kiss. Stella broke the kiss, and Brandon quickly put on his mask.

When Stella opened her eyes, she saw the mask she saw from earlier. She just sighed, and faced away. "I'm sorry for just kissing you…it's just that I can't help it. You're just like…some guy I used to know."

"Who is it?" Brandon asked. "Sorry if I'm being noisy."

"It's okay. He is a commander…and he sort of annoys me. But I kind of—liked him but I don't know if he likes me. But, I heard that he loves someone else even though he isn't with him. I just—want to hug him. But we're enemies now so there's nothing I can do about it," she replied.

Brandon gasped. So, Stella loves or like Brandon? He was so shocked that he dropped his arms. Stella looked at him, and went down with him.

"Are you okay?" Stella asked. Brandon looked at Stella, and caressed her cheek. He smiled in the inside of his mask.

"Yes, I'm alright. I think you should just go now. I think your father is looking for you anyways," he said. But Stella didn't go up.

"But I still haven't got a name from you," she said.

"Fine, my name is Brand—"but before he can finish his sentence, King Radius was shouting Stella's name.

"I think I should go now. I think it's a nice thing to meet you," Stella said. She stood up, and wiped some dirt of her dress. "I'm terribly sorry for that kiss. I'll see you tomorrow at three at the food court!" Then, Stella started to run inside. "Sorry Daddy! I was just talking to this guy!" she said. Brandon laughed, and wiped some dirt off his tux.

"Stella...she—"

Well, you think Stella is dead or alive? I hope you guys can answer that question! Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry for the slight delay!
