I don't own Winx Club
When Heather thought of an ice cream parlor she thought of somewhere comfy, cozy, and just all around nice, nothing like the one she was in wearing her homecoming dress. She fiddled with her fingers nervously and glanced at Brandon who looked around him alert for a moment before he clouded his emotions. The ice cream parlor was empty, no cars were there and it had a loose sign by the notice saying open or flashing open. They slowly walked to the front door and Brandon opened it glancing around at everything else other than Heather, Heather felt strange being in here like she was about to pass out but they walked to the counter as the girl standing there perked up, she had short brown hair with grey eyes and pale skin. She winked at Brandon and he just smirked in response leaving Heather slightly confused.
"Would you two like a table" the waitress, Malory practically purred as she leaned forward and looked at Brandon seductively. Heather felt her eye brows furrow in confusion, why had Brandon brought her here? What was his main plan in all of this?
"Yes, table for two please" Brandon said as he leaned against the counter she was standing next to, as she grabbed the menus before guiding them to a table in the corner.
They thanked Malory before she turned and walked away to the counter she was recently at, Heather looked at her suspiciously before her eyes flickered to Brandon who raked his eyes on the menu, and Heather glanced at her own menu. A movement out of the corner of her eye caught her attention, she flickered her eyes over to there as she saw someone in the back room or the outline of a figure.
The figure looked familiar, like Heather had seen it from somewhere; she raked her memory desperately searching for where she had seen it before but it disappeared the moment she turned to look at it. She glanced at her menu and saw her favorite, cookie dough. She put her menu down as her eyes zeroed in on Brandon watching as he looked back at her.
"So why did you bring me here?" Heather asked as she looked him straight in the eye as he looked back with clouded eyes.
Brandon shrugged, "I don't know, just wanted to get out and I saw you as a way out" Brandon said as he offered her a crooked smile.
"So you used me to escape" Heather stated as she crossed her arms and leaned back into her chair with a calm expression on her face.
"You could put it that way" Brandon said.
"So are you ready to order?" Malory said bringing Heather's attention to her, she was about to say something to Brandon but thank god for Malory to come and save his butt from getting whopped.
Heather smiled softly and nodded, "Can I have two scoops of cookie dough, in a bowl please" Heather said as she gently handed Malory her menu who rolled her eyes and turned to Brandon.
"I'll have two scoops of mint chocolate chip in a bowl" Brandon said as he handed Malory the menu. She sauntered off to get the ice creams and hid a smirk as she slipped a pill into the cookie dough ice cream.
Heather wanted so badly to glare a hole through Brandon for first bringing her here, then flirting with a girl right in front of her face, she mentally sighed, "So what do you want to talk about?" Heather asked as she glanced out of the window.
"How about we play the twenty question game then truth or dare?" Brandon suggested.
Heather shrugged as if to say sure but then Malory walked up and gave them their ice creams before turning away too swiftly for Brandon's liking, something was off with her and he knew that Heather was a little irked with him at this point.
"So what's your favorite color?" Heather asked as she took a bite out of her ice cream, she couldn't find herself to enjoy it, it tasted really weird.
"Who said you were going first?" Brandon asked with a raised eye brow as he chuckled slightly.
"I did, now answer" Heather demanded teasingly forgetting for a bit about earlier, she didn't want it to ruin their time together, besides it felt so right on the dance floor when he held her to him.
"Ok I guess it is cyan blue" He said after he looked at her eyes to decipher the color but finally came up with cyan blue.
"Why did you choose that color?" Heather asked as she titled her head to the side.
"It's the color of your eyes" Brandon said as he shrugged.
Heather raised her eye brow, "Flirt much, Brandon" Heather teased softly.
"Ok my turn to ask two questions." Brandon said, "So what is your favorite color, miss fire girl" He asked teasingly.
"Fire girl, that's a new one" Heather mused, "Well I like fire colors, red, orange, and yellow" Heather shrugged taking another bite out of her ice cream.
"Ok so how many animals do you have?" Brandon asked as he ate his ice cream, he could tell something was off about Heather's ice cream because she didn't seem to like it.
"One, a cat named Fira, she is absolutely adorable" Heather said as she felt her head start to hurt, she wanted to rub her temple as she felt a pounding in her head.
"Ok so what do you do in your free time?" Brandon asked.
Heather looked thoughtful for a moment, pushing the head ache to the back of her mind, "I hang out with my little sis, Jenn, well you can call it that I guess, since you know I am adopted." Heather shifted uncomfortably, "I like to read, I love to play with my cat, watch TV, and sometimes I sing, getting me to go to a party is an accomplishment that should win them a trophy because I don't like parties" Heather said as she shrugged.
"Oh well since I can foretell that you are about to ask what I do." Brandon guessed as Heather hit him lightly on the shoulder, "I play sports, hang with my friend, tease my little sister, and go to parties, I will be dragging you to one" He said silently challenging himself to do it.
"Good luck with the party part, pretty boy" Heather said as she rolled her eyes.
Brandon smirked, "Oh I will, trust me I will" Brandon said.
Heather suddenly felt her vision start to swarm as she immediately put a hand to her temple to calm it down. Brandon's smirk faded once he saw that, he reached out to grab her hand but Heather wasn't paying attention. 'Heather' voices shouted through her head ripping through her skull.
"Heather, are you ok?" Brandon asked frantically as he saw he saw her moan in pain, "Come on let's get you out of here, now!" Brandon said as he pulled her up and walked her out of there.
Heather felt her vision swarm before she finally collapsed, Brandon caught her and then saw some dark mass heading towards them and he ran towards his car with Heather in his arms out cold, the dark mass began to catch up before it went inside of Heather and Brandon froze as he saw sweat build up along her forehead.
Heather opened her eyes to be blinded by the bright piercing light, she looked around and saw that she was in a room with some nurses crowding around her with stitching of a dragon on their uniforms; one nurse reached down and picked her up softly wrapping her into a pink blanket.
Heather then realized that she was a baby and looked around the room to see fancy areas covering the room, there was gold all over the room and she was being walked to tow people, a male and a female, she couldn't see what they looked like but she heard voices around her.
"She is so beautiful" she heard the female say as she stroked her hair.
"I know sweetie, she will be our little firefly." The male said as he reached over and she hugged his fingers.
"What shall we call her?" The female asked softly as she continued to stroke her daughter but looked up to her husband.
"I have the perfect name for her" the male said, "Lily could you go grab the necklace?" The servant girl nodded before she walked out of the room.
Heather watched in curiosity as she saw her parents talking to each other quietly so she couldn't hear them. Suddenly he nurse walked back into the room with Heather's necklace and wrapped it around her neck.
Heather smiled in pure bliss as she snuggled into her mother's chest but soon it disappeared and Heather looked around to see she was in a dark abyss with mirrors everywhere. She floated to one mirror and saw herself staring back at her. Suddenly two other people flickered into the mirror and they were a family holding on to each other. As soon as they were there they were gone and Heather looked up but a blast fired at her and she fell to the ground with a loud thud before she felt her head pound.
She looked around her and saw that she was in the woods and she ran f from there as she felt the dark enemy start to follow her and she tripped and saw a dark figure hovering over her with a dagger in hand.
Heather screamed in shock and fear as she slowly watched the dark figure move his hands to the hilt of the dagger and then he plunged it into her side causing her to scream in pain. She wondered where Brandon was but no one came, the figure just disappeared leaving her out in the woods.
Suddenly a blood curdling scream broke through the forest, Heather started to run as fast as she could to the source and saw Amber there being followed by the dark figure, Heather ran and bumped into the figure knocking it to the ground.
Then everything disappeared and she was in the sky of a huge palace that glistened under the sun light and towered over the water below it and had a courtyard not too far away. Suddenly the dragon came to the skies but so did six other figures and Heather could not make out who they were but then she was about to see the leaders face when she was blinded.
Brandon brought Heather back to their house because he knew what he saw, there was a dark mass that swarmed in the air and Heather had started to scream because of it. He watched as Taylor scanned her body while she tossed and turned, Melanie, Natalie, and Laura were holding her down. The guys watched alert and he caught Ryan's glance.
"Nothing" Taylor said as she looked up from the device in her hands, "She is being blocked from my scanner. And from the looks of it, it is dark magic" She added.
"There has to be something we can do." Natalie said as she held Heather down from moving so much.
Taylor shook her head as she looked up the magic web, "not even a thing we can do until she wakes up." Taylor said.
"So mate what happened?" Carter asked.
"Yeah we need to know so I can use my wizard powers" Jeremiah said as his silver and blue staff appeared in his hands.
"We just left and found this really weird ice parlor but it was just for a moment before I felt like I was being drawn in, heather however seemed hesitant, so we walked in and this girl named Malory came up to us, she tried to flirt with me but I dismissed it as fast as I could and we were the only people there and we ordered our ice cream and talked but Heather didn't seem to like it that much." Brandon said as he remembered every detail of what they did.
Taylor nodded before she scanned her device again, "There must have been something in it" She said finally.
"But who would do that?" Willow asked as she leaned her head on her knees as she eyed Heather worriedly.
Nobody got a chance to answer as Heather shot up suddenly; she looked around but then gave a sigh of relief before she looked back down at her side to see that it was bleeding.
Brandon noticed the blood too and they all looked at each other worriedly, if they tried to heal her they could risk revealing themselves. Natalie stepped forward and used her magic to put Heather back to sleep so they could heal her; they all saw the dark mass swarm in through the window.
Natalie alarmed cast up a protection shield as the darkness hissed but disappeared. "Ok so Natalie and Melanie will heal Heather while we protect them." Laura said.
The girls all nodded and they all got into their positions as Willow, Taylor and Laura cast their protection shields, "Electric screen" Taylor said as she shot some light green energy at the ground surrounding the other two girls.
"Liquid Dome" Willow said as she cast some blue energy and a blue shield joined the green shield.
"Star Shield" Laura said as a beam of white energy joined in with the other energies.
"Harmony and Natural Healing" Melanie and Natalie chanted together as they healed the cut on Heather without question.
The black mass swarmed in through the window and started to try to destroy the giant shield that surrounded the three girls. The boys tried to slice through it but it just hissed at them and once Heather was healed it disappeared and they all huffed out in exhaustion.
Heather woke up in her room later on that night as she turned around but found herself not in her homecoming dress, she sat up and looked around but she could not remember how she got here, she laid back down as she sighed in frustration desperately trying to remember, she remembered leaving the dance with Brandon but now she wakes up in her room later that night. Something happened to her and she knows it, she also had a minor head ache.
She soon fell back asleep as darkness flew into her room and it revealed itself to be a girl with black hair and pale skin with black eyes with no white irises. Just filled with black, the girl smirked before she walked over to Heather and combed her hair behind her ear; Heather stirred and started to move under the girls touch.
She smirked before she disappeared into a punch of dark petals that floated out of the room and Heather sat up in her bed with her eyes wide, not noticing the weird occurrences from the girl who appeared just moments prior. She collapsed on her bed again after another attempt at sleep and watched the sun rise, wondering what the heck happened to her and why she awoke here with no memory of last night before she woke up in her bed.
Heather brushed a hand through her hair the next Monday as she stared at herself in the bathroom mirror, she had her hair in a messy bun with one loose strand in front of her face, she was wearing a dark red shirt with 'Food is life' on it in cursive white writing and light blue skinny jeans with light brown UGG boots.
Jenn walked into the bathroom that interconnected their rooms and stared at Heather in a moment of distaste, she had her hair curled with a strapless dark green top on with black leggings and some dark green converses. "Are you seriously wearing that?" Jennifer asked as she looked at her sister in curiosity.
Heather glanced down at her shirt, "What is wrong with it?" Heather asked as she shot a glance at her sister through the mirror.
Jennifer rolled her eyes, "We are going on a double date with Todd, and do you seriously want to give off the wrong impression?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.
Heather mentally growled annoyed and grimaced in distaste, Todd wasn't a bad looking guy but he just was so cocky it annoyed Heather to the core, even Brandon was better than him and that was saying something "I don't even like Todd, why did you set me up with him?" Heather asked.
"Heather, you need a boyfriend and don't even tell me that you like someone else because I know you don't" Jennifer said as she leaned against her door frame.
"How do you know that because I do happen to like someone" Heather pointed out as she sat down on her counter with her arms crossed.
"Yeah right" Jennifer said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
Heather was about to protest but then Jennifer squealed and dragged her downstairs and she said good bye to Ashley and David before both girls walked to the car. "Hey babe" Todd winked as she took the seat next to him.
Heather shot him a dark look which made him smirk, "So what is the plan?" Heather flickered her glance to Jennifer who was chatting aimlessly with Stephen. After the first week or so of school they made up surprisingly and now acted like a couple once again and were in the love zone.
"Oh babe we're going to the movies" Todd said carelessly as he flirted with her, ever since he first saw her, she became his goal, the one girl he was determined to make date him, he was a bit of a boy who was like what people called a jock and slept with the cheerleaders waiting for the day he could get Heather in bed. He checked her out and wanted to nod in approvement, she was definitely going to date him after this.
"Don't. Call. Me. Babe." Heather gritted out with clenched teeth as she shot him the death glare of the century.
He just gave up after that knowing she was playing hard to get but secretly loved him, he just knew it. Heather seriously wanted to punch this guy in the face, he was a complete and utter douche, and no douche is an understatement. He was a pain in the ear end and she hated him with every fiber of her being.
Heather leaned back in her chair watching as they drove past the stores lining the side of the road and to the mall building which housed the movies. Rain lightly touched the glass as it drizzled lightly outside. Heather was left to drift through her thoughts and why she had felt so wrong in the car with Todd instead of Brandon, she liked Brandon but she knew he did not return her feelings and he had avoided her all day.
Every time she tried to talk to the guy he would turn around and walk away from her. Todd looked over at heather, thinking that she was thinking about him he tapped her shoulder with a smirk. "You know gorgeous you could just talk to me instead of thinking about me." He said smugly.
Heather glared at him, who does this guy think he is? She thought as she just turned to look back out of the window instead of talking to the douche, as she had referred to him as. "Yes we are here" Jennifer practically screamed.
"Girl tone it down will you?" Todd said.
"Don't talk to my sister like that you douche" Heather practically snapped as she got out of the car once he parked. She slammed the door as he opened his mouth to speak and Jennifer and Stephen got out as Jennifer shot her a disappointed look. Heather seriously was considering smacking a girl.
They all walked into the mall and to the Cinema to go to the movie, they eventually decided on Twilight braking dawn part 2, Heather mentally grimaced in disgust, she hated the movie and she caught sight of Brandon flirting with the lady at the register and his friend against the wall, she swallowed her hurt as she walked up to another cash register.
"Babe we should hold hands" Todd suggested as he tried to grab her hand before she smacked his hand away with a glare.
"Hey can we have three buckets of large popcorn with all of them buttered, and two cokes with a lemonade and sprite?" Heather asked as she looked at the cash register guy with a small smile.
"Of course" He said grabbing three and filling them up with popcorn while he grabbed the drinks she requested, "Your total is $21.58" He said as he put the popcorns and drinks on the red counter.
Heather pulled out a twenty and added two dollars in it despite Todd's protest, "Thank you for the food and drinks" Heather said as she grabbed a tray and walked over to Jennifer and Stephen.
They walked into the movie being followed by the new kids, who wanted to look out for Heather out of her eye sight. They sat down three rows away from where Heather sat and Todd tried to put an arm around her but she smacked his arm away.
"Why is she even with that guy?" Brandon said annoyed.
"The bigger question is why they came see this stupid movie" Ryan said as he huffed out annoyed.
"Yeah and Heather even said she hated Twilight" Laura said.
"This is going to be good to watch" Melanie said.
"Watching that movie, no thanks." Jeremiah said.
Melanie faced palmed as Taylor spoke for her, "She was talking about Heather and Todd." Melanie shot Taylor a grateful look as Heather nodded at her.
"How is that going to be funny?" Natalie asked as she put a finger onto her chin.
"Oh you won't get it little sis, we will tell you when you are older." Liam said as he ruffled her hair.
Natalie shot him a dark look, "Ignore him Leah." Willow said as the movie began and some teenage girls in front of them shushed them.
"How dare you shush us?" Laura asked as she shot the two girls an annoyed look as the girls glared before pointing to the screen.
"Whatever let's just watch this gay movie" Liam said.
"Eager are we?' Carter teased.
Liam shot him a dark look as he slouched down in his seat. Heather was at the front bored out of her mind, they had been watching this movie forever and it wasn't even good, and Todd's efforts to get her to fall for him, really was the dude that stupid. "We should cuddle" Todd said as he tried to put an arm around her but she glared at him and stood up.
"I will be right back guys." Heather said as Jennifer shot her a disappointed look, heather practically fumed, she would definitely mouth off Jennifer tonight when they got home.
Heather stormed out of the theater as she walked to the food court which was practically empty since it was so late out. It was a four day weekend since the school was having two district days.
Heather went to McDonalds and got a large fry with a small milkshake, and she sat down as far away from the theater as possible when she saw Brandon walk out and they made eye contact. "Hey" Brandon said from across from her. She felt her temper flare an ounce as he sat down.
"What do you want Brandon?" She said annoyed.
"Oh someone's bipolar today" Brandon teased.
Heather gave a sarcastic smile, "Yeah sure I am the one who is bipolar, how about you look in the fudging mirror douche bag" Heather said annoyed.
"Really well am I the one snapping at her friends" Brandon said, his own temper flaring.
"Oh and what about you, I don't get you, you just act so nice to me at the homecoming dance, then I wake up in my bed and you don't have the decency to actually tell me, then you just avoid my questions all day and expect me to be nice to you. Yeah no thanks I would rather get hit by a bus or captured by whatever the heck is going on." Heather screamed.
Brandon felt his eyes widen for a moment, "Enemy? Are you in some fairytale world?" He asked teasingly.
"Well I started having nightmares when you came, who is to say that you don't have something to do with it? And who the heck travel across the country without their parents when they're not even eighteen, look into the law book they would never allow that" Heather snapped back.
"Oh at least I have real parents, I bet you think everyone should feel bad for you when your parents don't even care enough for you, so they will just leave you in the woods to avoid looking at your hideous face." Brandon yelled.
Heather swallowed down her next insult as she glared at Brandon with the death glare of the century, "You really did not need to tell me that because I already knew that" heather said as she turned her back on him.
"Heather wait" Brandon said once he realized what he had said.
"No, I don't need to I bet you are done looking at this hideous face" Heather said softly so she wouldn't cry and her voice wouldn't break.
Brandon just watched as she left and walked out of the mall, once she was out of the mall she ran with tears streaming down her face. Brandon followed her and soon ran after her as he saw her drop to her knees on the nearby park bench. Brandon sat down next to her as he held her against him, "Heather I am so sorry, please tell me if I can find a way to make it up to you, you know I never met it, I promise you we will find your parents and solve the mystery of your past. I will help you Heather even if you don't want my help"
Heather looked up at him with tears in her eyes, "Why would you help such a hideous face?" Heather asked as she tried to pull away from him.
"Heather I did not mean that at all, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met, don't forget that even when I have to leave" Brandon said as he pushed her hair behind her ear and she looked at him with a curious expression.
"You have to leave" Heather asked heart brokenly and Brandon nodded.
"Hey heather I will stay with you until you tell me you want me to leave, I will stay here until you tell me that you don't want me here anymore." Brandon said.
"Is it wrong to want that to be until forever?" Heather asked.
"Kind of but don't worry, once I can I will bring you away from here and you can visit your family whenever you want." Brandon said.
"That sounds like a fairytale." Heather sighed in content as she was silent for a few minutes, "Brandon?" Heather asked looking up.
Brandon looked back down at her, "What is it Heather?" He asked softly.
"Don't avoid me ever again." Heather said softly.
They stayed like that until Heather bid him farewell and went home to her very angry parents who were both in the living room with their arms crossed once she opened up the front door.
Author's end note: Oh no Heather is in trouble and I wonder what is going on with Jennifer and why she did that to Heather? Well I know but you will have to wait :P so try and guess what will happen next. I was going to update three chapters tonight but I want to leave you at suspense for the moment, until tomorrow with two chapters heading your way.
