Chapter 11
(Flora's POV)
I have a quick shower in Helia's bathroom and wrap my towel around myself. I walk out with my bag. I see Helia sitting on the bed patiently waiting for me. I give him a small smile. "You can go have your shower now." I tell him. He nods and goes into the bathroom. I use my magic to change into the pink night dress I packed and I then quickly dry my hair before putting my towel and dress and everything in my bag and closing it up. I place it carefully next to Helia's bed. It's not long before he comes out again.
"Hey Flora can you come out onto the balcony with me?" Helia asks. I nod and walk onto the balcony and sit in one of the two chairs. Helia then comes out. He's wearing shorts and a T-shirt. He sits opposite me with a sketch book and pencils.
"What are you doing?" I ask him. He smiles.
"Drawing you." Helia replies.
"Why?" I ask him confused. He smiles and laughs a little.
"Because you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen therefore I think I should draw you." Helia explains. I smile and blush before turning to look out at the view. Helia smiles and continues drawing me while saying sweet things to make me blush. "No I'm done." Helia eventually says. i turn my head back to him only to blush bright red when I see his perfect drawing of me while I'm blushing.
"Why did you draw me blushing?" I ask him embarrassed.
"Because you have to most adorable blush ever." He replies giving me a small kiss. I smile. We go inside and he locks the door to the balcony and pulls the curtains closed over the door. He puts his sketch book in a draw next to his bed with his pencils before getting in to his bed. I crawl in next to him a smile.
"Don't I get a cuddle?" I ask playfully. He laughs and wraps his arms around my waist. I move closer to him and nuzzle my head into his chest. I let one hand rest on his chest while my other arm goes over him and our legs get tangled up.
"Go to sleep my flower." Helia whispers in my ear softly.
"Goodnight Helia." I say sleepily. He smile a little looking down at me.
"Goodnight my flower." Helia replies kissing my forehead softly. I can tell he's tired by his voice. He sounds exhausted and so am I. I let my eyes close and it's not long at all before I drift off to sleep in his arms peacefully.
(Luke's POV)
After me and Aura have done what we wanted too we both get dressed again and I get my phone out. I feel kind of bad for what we're about to do and Aura does as well but my parents did it to us and now they want us to do it to Helia and Flora. Put Flora to the test. They did it to Aura as well so they could see if she really loved me which she did. It was horrible as I didn't know they were doing it until after, now it's Flora's and Helia's turn. "I really don't want to do this." Aura tells me sadly. I wrap an arm around her and gently kiss her forehead.
"Neither do I." I reply.
"But we have to." Aura sighs. I nod still mad at myself for what I'm about to do. I call my grandfather, Saladin.
"Hello Luke, Aura." He greets us smiling happily but he frowns when he sees our sad expressions and knows what we have to talk to him about. "Is it really necessary to put Flora to the test it's obvious they are both madly in love with each other like it was for you two?" Saladin asks sadly.
"Unfortunately they're not changing their minds." I reply with a sigh.
"Fine I'll do what they wanted me to do to you, take away his phone not let any messages get through to Flora etc so he won't be able to get in contact with her at all but I believe he will do something that will effect everyone." Saladin replies.
"I'm not suppose to say anything but you're family and you need to know, Flora isn't the most stable person, her whole family is imprisoned and her adoptive parents died two years ago, her brother, not biological brother, he used to abuse her. I don't think she's going to wait for Helia to explain." Aura says. I didn't know about Flora being abused or her adoptive parents death. I probably shouldn't say anything either.
"I'll try talking to them." Saladin assures us.
"We've tried but they won't listen they know about Flora's real family being imprisoned but not about anything else, I don't think it's right to tell them though." I reply. Saladin sighs and Aura and him nod in agreement. It's not our place to tell them even though they are family.
"Well they are Helia's parents as well as your's so if they won't change their mind I guess I'll do it they have to make their own mistakes but I'll keep an eye on Flora, or at least try to." Saladin replies. We nod before hanging up the phone. I sigh.
"I really wish they'd change their minds." I say with a sigh. Aura nods in agreement.
"So do I." She replies. We get in bed and fall asleep.
(Flora's POV)
I wake up early in the morning with Helia still asleep next to me. I smile and go into the bathroom getting changed into my clothes and brushing my hair and teeth. I go out onto the balcony and smile. That's when I see Diana the major fairy of nature waiting just outside the palace walls. I know she's here for me as she's been after me for a while. She's not happy as she knows Queen Morgana would want to give me her position as the major fairy of nature once she finds out I'm the fairy of nature and Diana isn't too happy about it.
No one knew who the last fairy of nature was so Diana was given the place as major fairy of nature until the next fairy of nature was discovered being me. Diana found out that I'm the fairy of nature and now she's trying to get rid of me... permanently. So no one will find out it's me and she will continue being the major fairy of nature. What she doesn't know is that I don't want to be the major fairy of nature and I'd tell Morgana to let Diana be the major fairy but Diana won't listen to me therefore I can't explain.
I run out of the room and down the stairs until I'm out of the palace. I then run over to where Diana is. "What do you want Diana?" I ask her. She laughs at me. I roll my eyes still waiting for her to answer my question.
"I want you gone, it's either you or your little boyfriend then you." She laughs. I glare at her angrily.
"Leave him out of this he has nothing to do with this! Diana can you just listen to me I-" I start but I get cut of by my own quiet cry of pain as Diana hits me with a ball of powerful magic. I may have more control over nature then her but she's had a lot more practise then me!
"Listen to you! Why would I listen to you? You're a threat to me! That's like one of your most dangerous enemies coming up to you and saying 'listen to me'. You wouldn't trust them and you are one of my biggest enemies!" Diana snaps at me. I sigh. Why? What did I even do? I never went up to her and said I wanted her place as the major fairy of nature or that I was challenging her or anything like that!
"Diana I never said-" I start but I'm cut of this time by her laughter.
"I don't care what you did or didn't say. Now follow me or that little boyfriend of your's is at risk." She orders. I nod running after her as she flies into the forest outside the castle. We get to a clearing in the forest and she stops. I also stop. She uses her magic to trap me in vines and then she breaks them as she continuously attacks me causing the vines to break. I don't attack back. I don't want to. I'm too weak to even defend myself anyway!
"Diana I'm not going to attack you." I tell her firmly. She sighs and uses her magic to lift my weak body up and put me in the cave behind me.
"I won't attack you either Flora but you shouldn't be in that cave, it seems the big bear is back and doesn't seem to happy that you're trespassing." She laughs before flying off. I hear the loud steps of the big bear before a huge black bear comes into the cave on all fours. I an't help but let out a small gasp. I can't believe Diana would really do something like this! I back away from the bear as it comes towards me angrily, following it's instinct to protect it's territory. I try to get off the ground but I fail miserably!
"Get away." I tell the bear even though I know it won't do anything. The bear lets out a growl before slamming it's foot down harshly on my leg continuously. I scream out in pain. There is no way that my leg isn't broken. I grab my phone and call Helia. He picks up almost instantly.
"Flora thank God you called I've been so worried about you! Are you okay? Where are you?" Helia asks instantly.
"Help." I manage to croak out. He looks at me and gasps.
"Flora what happened?" He asks.
"Diana... I'm in a cave... on Knightly still... not far from the palace." I explain weakly as tears run down my face. The phone slides out of my hand and across the cave floor as the bear swipes at my wrist harshly. I cry out in pain.
"Flora! Flora?" I hear Helia panicking as I look at his hologram which is facing away from me. He can't see me! "Don't worry I'm coming." I hear him promise before hanging up. The bear continues to viciously attack me. Clawing and sometimes biting me. Stepping on me. I've defiantly got a lot of broken bones! I don't know how long it's been going on for. I'm in so much pain it's the only thing I can feel now. I can't move at all and I have to use all my energy to keep my eyes open. Suddenly there's a loud bang. I manage to look to see the bear on the ground tied up.
"W...w-what?" I ask weakly as many more tears run down my face.
"Shhh my flower don't cry it's me, it's me." I hear Helia's gentle, comforting voice assure me as I see him over me. I try to move but I find I still can't and trying is just causing me more pain! He gently picks me up bridal style causing me to cry out in pain even though he's being gentle. Every movement causes me pain. "Sorry Flora, but you're going to be okay. Close your eyes and rest my flower when you wake up I'll be right next to you and you'll be feeling better then you do know I promise." Helia assures me kissing my forehead gently ignoring me flinching s bit from the pain. I let my eyes close for once and I stop fighting to stay awake. It's not like a normal nights sleep though. It's dreamless and empty, all there is is darkness but it's still better then before.
