SOrry it's been longer than I hoped to update, but it's only been a week. I hope yowu all enjoy this chapter, though it is way smaller than usual. I'll make up for the size in the next chapter, which I believe will be a longer chapter. It might take longer to write though, since it'll have lots of different parts and it should be a longer chapter. ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club, obviously. Bloom would not me the main character if I owned it. Everyone would be equal and Layla and Musa would be best friends and the pixies would have more spotlight and...sorry.
Juliette's eyebrows knitted together. She walked over to Xavier with her eyes on the letter. "What does this look like?" she asked. Grudgingly, she showed him the little sigh next to the A~. Xavier studied it for a while before answering, "it looks like an allium."
"That's what I thought. Do you think it's from Aliums?" Xavier just shrugged.
"I wonder who she's writing about then. I have this feeling, but it's stupid..." Juliette dragged on. Her sight brought her back to the green eyes surrounded by blackness- no. Juliette shook her head. There was no way she was succumbing to that dream, or was it a nightmare, again. Not so soon anyway.
"What is it?" Paige asked.
"I think we need to discover what the letter means so we can get the location. What location, I don't know. Probably where the who is. See, they mention the who many times. Does anyone recognize who the who is?" Juliette asked. She handed the others the letter. Astrel ripped it from Paige's hands before exclaiming, "it's Aria! She has emerald eyes, she's never told... most people her history, she failed school, and other things. I'm only stuck on the touch. Any ideas?"
"If it is Aria, who did she touch last?" Drake asked. Astrel snorted, "before what? Before getting kidnapped, and at what point? Before her first semester exams? Before-"
"We get it, Astrel," Drake rolled his eyes. Astrel punched him on the shoulder. "Was that supposed to hurt? Because it didn't."
"Is that why you're wincing?" She stuck her tongue out at him, just like a child, before Destinée told them to shut up, that the situation was serious.
"Let's just forget that part. It's too vague. I say we assume it's Aria and figure out the rest of the poem," Ashton said. Paige and Skylar nodded in agreement.
"He's right," Paige said. She closed her eyes for a moment, she hardly ever agreed with Ashton. "The witches kidnapped Aria and we don't know how long they're going to keep her alive. I think we should risk it and continue the riddle." Skylar plopped a purple hard candy into her mouth and when she opened her mouth to speak, her tongue had already turned purple, "And if we can, I think we should find Aliums. She's powerful and an ally. We need as much help as possible fighting the Trix kids."
The entire population of the people in the room crowded around the letter, even though it was crumbled and miniscule in size.
Who has emerald eyes?
Who did you touch before?
Who keeps her history in the shadows to not all?
Who failed in many ways?
Find the home of the who,
find the home of the stranger cousin,
to find the location of the who.
A~
"The home of the stranger cousin," Skylar gulped. "How are we going to figure that out?" The fairy was quiet and sounded weak, so Paige put an arm around her and squeezed her shoulder. Travis kissed her temple lightly. "I can't help but feel like...like it's my fault. Aria's been fairynapped, Astrel's getting seizures, Aliums got fired. More than that too, it all seems like my fault."
"It's okay, Skylar. We'll help you. We're your friends, and we would do anything for you, despite the risk. We should just focus on finding Aria at the moment," Travis assured. He lightly kissed her on the lips, earning a smile and a blush. Drake looked away awkwardly.
"Oh good gods, keep the kissing to a minimum. We have someone to save so can we just get down to business? Great," Astrel said, ignoring the others.
"Like I told Juliette, he attends Red Fountain. But that was nine days ago and the teachers haven't gotten all the blood samples. It's a big school," Xavier explained, his voice emotionless.
"Any ideas?" Felix finally spoke up. The wizard looked at him like he was dumb. Pushing up his glasses with a smug look, he said, with an even smugger voice, "of course."
"Care to share it?" Felix said with slight irritation and his arms crossed.
"Of course." The fairies looked at each other with their eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "We know that there are twins in the four and that one of the twins is a boy, the one from Red Fountain. So he must be related to one of the witches. Just filling everyone in with the obvious. I suggest we figure out where all the witch cousins are from and split up to track them down. We know what they look like, well the fairies do. So I think you girls should go and see Headmistress Griffin. All the students have to send photos when they sign up to come to their school. Go find where they come from."
"The witches come from three different places, Darna, the witch of darkness, comes from Darnqe, Ume, the witch of dark ice, comes from Tenebrae, and finally Gale, the witch of isane weather: storms, lighting, wind, and so on. She comes from Tempestas," Juliette said reading off their profiles. She looked up. "But the weird thing is, they all have a connection to Aether somehow. It seems the teachers of Cloudtower have done their own undercover research. Darna was born in Darnqe, but she moved to Aether when she was a couple years old."
"I think," Xavier started. "It's time we go look for Aria."
WEll I hope you enjoyed. Please REVIEW!
