Chapter 20

The Chapter of Revelation!

It has nearly been two days since Violet had been captured by the Trix, after Darcy woke up a few minutes ago (with an extremely aching body), Icy brought Violet back to Nebula's cell. So far, there has only been silence.

"Miss Nebula, are you okay?" Violet finally asked as she crawled to where Nebula was chained to the wall. "I'm so sorry Violet . . . I let you down." Nebula said not having the strength to look the little girl in the eyes.

"No you didn't." Violet said as she sat in front of Nebula. Nebula looked at her and Violet could see pain and sorrow flashing in Nebula's eyes.

"Yes . . . I did. I let you down by not staying by your side and I let you down by . . . by not being there for you these last ten years. Dragons, I still can't believe you're almost eleven." Nebula said shaking her head, with closed eyes.

"What do you mean?" Violet asked confused at the woman in front of her. "Violet . . . you never knew your mother because . . . I . . . because . . . I . . . am . . . your mother."

Nebula said still looking down, but Violet knew that pain still flashed threw her eyes. Violet hugged Nebula and when she let go smiled at the woman.

"You did do your best since I met you . . . that's all what counts and besides . . . you're here now and we're together, as a family." Violet said smiling up at Nebula.

Nebula smiled back at Violet and the sorrow that once made home in her eyes was now replaced with hope, though the pain was still in her eyes (mostly due to her injuries now though), the hope shown brighter then the pain.

At least four hours of silence went by where neither mother nor daughter knew what to say to each other.

Outside the cell they suddenly heard the sounds of battle and Violet was frightened, she quickly crawled over to her mother's side and held her tightly, burying her head in Nebula's chest.

Nebula wished with all her heart that she could comfort her daughter and keep her from harm, but those blasted witches had chained her to the wall and she can't even use her magic!

After the sounds of Icy, Darcy and Stormy getting their butts kicked right through all of the magic dimension (and beyond), the door to their cell blew wide open to reveal the Winx and specialists.

Both Violet and Nebula were happy to see Roxy and Morgana with them. "Roxy, you take Violet while we help Nebula."

Bloom said as she walked towards the wall where one of Nebula's arms was chained. Roxy took Violet and checked her for any wounds or burns.

"Nebula, are you alright?" Morgana asked as she saw the blood flowing from Nebula's arms and side. The wounds seem to have been made anew recently. "I'll be fine, how's Violet?"

Nebula asked as she tried to fight the pain. "She's okay, but we need to get you back to Alfea right away." Roxy said as she and Bloom started to do some healing spells.

"Sky, we'll see you, Daphne and the guys at Alfea, right now we need to get Nebula to the infirmary. Tell Daphne to meet us there if you arrive back before sunset." Bloom said as Sky nodded in understanding.

When Nebula was at last free Morgana and Bloom helped support her since she had lost too much blood and was so weak, she couldn't even fully stand. Stella conjured a portal and everyone (minus the boys) stepped through.

When the magic dust finally cleared they found themselves in the middle of the infirmary. Ophelia immediately jumped at the sight of the ten woman (well, one is still a child) that where in the middle of the infirmary.

She quickly showed them to a room so that she could start healing Nebula. Violet looked at Nebula worriedly while standing by Roxy.

Nebula noticed this and gave Violet a weak smile with the last of her strength before she lost consciousness.

Roxy and the rest of the girls tried to cheer up the young, purple haired, blue eyed fairy known as Violet, which they have come to love.

They tried story books, puzzles, games, music, tickling, Stella even made a fool of herself just to get the little girl to laugh . . . but nothing seemed to be working.

"Violet, she'll be okay you'll see." Musa said trying the last thing on their list: conversation. "Yeah, Musa's right, tomorrow you and Nebula are going to have fun just like you always do."

Bloom said smiling at the little girl; Violet gave her a weak smile back, before it faded away. "You know what Violet, why don't we have a sleep over tonight.

We can have a pillow-fight, play games and you can tell us everything that you and Nebula like to do." Roxy said trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah and I'm sure that Kiko wouldn't mind having one more friend around." Flora said as she handed Kiko a carrot.

The small blue bunny had also tried to cheer up the little girl, he really liked Violet and she's always been fun to have around . . . but today . . . she needs a little hope of her own.

"Thank you, but I miss her . . ." Violet said, petting Kiko as he ate his carrot. Roxy then remembered that Nebula had given Violet the stuffed toy butterfly.

She remembered that Bloom said that Violet had been playing with it in her and Flora's room a lot when the others went to get breakfast.

"I'll be right back." Roxy said as she headed in the direction of Bloom and Flora's room. When she came back she had the stuffed toy in her hands. "Violet, maybe you'd like to play with this?"

Roxy asked, showing Violet her stuffed toy. Violet took the toy and hugged it tightly, not once letting go of it. "Thank you, Roxy" Violet said gently hugging Roxy, but still hanged on to the butterfly toy for dear life.

"You're welcome, now why don't you and Bloom start getting things ready while Aisha and Flora get some blankets and Pillows, Musa please take care of the Music.

Stella would you please pick the clothes and Tecna you're going to help me get the games." Roxy said taking charge.

Everyone nodded and so the sleepover began. Roxy had to go back to her dorm after a few hours, but made sure that Violet was okay with the other girls.

Violet was sleeping in Bloom and Flora's room along with them. Violet was sleeping on Bloom's bed while Bloom slept on the couch.

As the night passed and the sun rose, Bloom, surprisingly was the first to wake up. She woke the others, being very careful not to wake up Violet as the girls silently dressed and everyone, but Bloom, went to get breakfast.

Violet woke up and got dressed without much trouble, she and Bloom were about to leave for breakfast when Ophelia walked pass them in tha hall, Bloom of course immediately stopped her.

"Nurse Ophelia, is Nebula awake yet?" Bloom asked, knowing that Violet was near breaking point. Ophelia looked at them smiling.

"She woke up a few hours ago and you can go visit her after breakfast." Ophelia said seeing Violet's normal happy self resurfacing at the good news.

"Let's go, come on Bloom!" Violet said pulling Bloom to the dining hall for breakfast. Ophelia only watched in amazement as she saw the small ten year old drag the much bigger and stronger woman to the dining hall.

Poor Bloom was only trying her best not fall, so that she didn't pull the little girl down to the floor with her.

After breakfast Roxy, Morgana and the Winx went with Violet to check on Nebula. Violet was the first into the room, then Roxy, then Morgana and then finally the Winx.

When they entered, Nebula was making the bed. There were visibly bandages around her arms, bit it seemed like they were for mere decoration the way she was moving.

If you hadn't known that she'd been tortured by the Trix only yesterday, then you probably would have thought that Nebula was helping Ophelia clean the place, because she looked as if she had never been hurt at all.

When Violet saw Nebula she rushed to her to give her a big hug. Nebula returned the hug before she set her down on the bed. "How are you feeling?" Violet asked before Nebula could even say one syllable.

Nebula smiled at the little girl. "Much better, now that my little flower is here." Nebula said before Violet hugged her again.

"Did you have fun with the girls?" Nebula asked as Violet only nodded. "Roxy and Bloom held a sleep over party for me, but Stella kept fighting with Tecna about which games we should play.

Stella wanted all the games to be about designing and drawing clothes while Tecna said that it should be something everyone likes." Violet said showing a weak smile.

Nebula looked at Stella with a raised eyebrow while Stella only rubbed the back of her head as she gave a sheepish smile. At that Nebula rolled her eyes and looked back at Violet.

"What do you say to a little picnic? You can choose who you want to bring and of course where it's going to be." Nebula said sitting next to Violet on the bed while trying her best to lighten the mood.

Violet's eyes got bright as she looked up at Nebula. "Can it be just the two of us?" Violet asked hope flashing in her eyes. "I don't see why not, but do you think we'll be able to finish eating all that food by ourselves?

I think we'll need a bit of help, don't you think?" Nebula asked as she looked at Violet smiling. Violet thought about it for a while before she looked at the others and then back at Nebula.

"Maybe we should ask Roxy to come too . . ." Violet said as she thought to herself that Nebula had a point, they really won't be able to finish all that food by themselves, the chef always made an overload of it.

Nebula smiled at Violet before she looked at Roxy. "What do you say Roxy, want to go on a picnic with the two of us?"

Nebula asked before Violet turned to face Roxy and tilted her head ever so lightly to the side, making her look ten times even more adorable (if that was even possible)

Roxy smiled and chuckled slightly at Violet who was making the 'puppy-dog eyes' (which she learned from Bloom, I may add.)

"Why not and besides, who can say 'no' to that cute little face." Roxy said smiling as Violet blushed a deep pinkish red at the complement.

"Nebula, are you sure that you want to go; after all, you should be resting." Morgana said as she stood by her daughter, looking to the woman she considers a sister.

"I'll be fine Morgana and besides . . . we don't have to go right now." Nebula said as she stroked Violet's hair, more on maternal instinct then anything else, besides, she couldn't stop herself even if she tried.

Violet moved closer into Nebula's hold, enjoying the fond gestures from her mother. Nebula smiled down lovingly at the small girl next to her on the bed; as she continued to stroke the purple haired girl's hair.

"Uh . . . did I miss something?" Stella asked with a confused look towards the two females on the bed.

"I think it's time for us to leave. . ." Morgana said trying to keep Nebula's secret from getting spilled out to the most . . . um . . . gossipy-is-t (?) person in the room.

"What? But they're acting like they're . . . oh my Solaria!" Stella screamed out in realization. "What is it Stella?" Tecna asked looking at the blond haired girl in shock.

"You two are . . . oh my Solaria, oh my Solaria, OH MY SOLARIA! NEBULA IS- . . ." Stella screamed out before fainting. Both Nebula and Violet could only blink as they processed what in the name of the Great Dragon just happened.

"STELLA!"

Everyone except for Morgana, Nebula and Violet rushed to Stella's side to make sure that she's fine.

Nebula then helped Violet off of the bed and at that moment Ophelia came in and her mouth fell wide open at a Stella that was just now starting to gain consciousness. "What happened?" Ophelia asked as she looked at the scene.

"Stella figured it out." Nebula said as she and Violet walked towards the others. "What do you mean 'Stella figured it out', what did she figure out?" Musa asked as she helped the others shake Stella back to the real world.

Ophelia and Morgana shared a look before they looked at Nebula, who nodded as though giving them permission to answer.

"She figured out that Nebula is Violet's mother." Ophelia answered and everyone, but Morgana, Nebula and Violet's jaws dropped to the ground. "I'll explain later . . . is Stella okay?"

Nebula asked as she and Violet stood next to Ophelia. "Oh . . . my head, I just had this weird dream where Nebula was Violet's mother." Stella said rubbing her head.

"Your head hurts; because you fainted and that wasn't a dream . . . Nebula is Violet's mother." Aisha said before Stella shook out of everyone's grip and shouted out loud "WHAT?!"

Hahaha, so that was Chapter twenty.
