Winx Club does not belong to me, it belongs to Iginio Straffi

Enjoy the chapter!

When Sienna woke once more, she didn't find herself in her bed at home.

Instead she was in a complete white room with no door in sight. She wore a silk white nightgown that swayed down to her knees. There was no blood, no mud, no scratches or bruises anywhere on her body. It was like the attack had never happened, but Sienna knew better. Sienna stood up and began walking around to try and find some kind of window or door.

But the more she walked, the more the room began to feel like a long hallway going nowhere.

"Hello?" She shouted, "Hello?! Is anyone here?!" After a few seconds of unnerving silence, she sighed.

"There's no need to shout, my dear." A calm and gentle sounding voice cut through the silence. Sienna whipped her head around to see a man, but he looked almost celestial. He did not appear human as his entire body was purple and transparent, Sienna could literally see right through him. His hair (or what she assumed to be) was pulled into a single long braid that fell to his legs. He wore a gentle smile as he floated to her, Sienna stepped a few inches away, terrified of him.

"W-where am I? W-who are you? A-are you a ghost? A-am I-"

"No, no, you are not dead, Sienna." He reassured, "But I am a messenger from the other side."

"The other side? Like heaven?" The image of angels with white wings and trumpets came into Sienna's mind

"Something like that, heaven is just one of the names given to it." He chuckled. Sienna wondered who the message was from, then a realization hit over her, turning her as pale as a ghost.

"Is it from Athena? My parents? Please tell me my family isn't dead!" Her hands shook, hoping, praying it wasn't her sister. His smile turned into a frown.

"Both your guardians and your sister fought valiantly for you, but in the end, they..." He sighed.

"They are in a better place now, she's at peace."

Tears began to fall from Sienna's face as she remembered all the good times she had with her family, the people she loved gone in an instance. The last time she saw her sister, she was covered in blood, sparkles, and scratches.

Why had she been so blind to her own family? To her own sister?

"Listen, I don't - much time." The man began to fade out and in for a couple of seconds. The room began to shake like an earthquake.

"Your family told me to tell you that the empire -stopped, you must-birthright." As he said this, he began to fade more and more, while the room began to shake more violently.

"Wait! I don't know your name!" As the room began to crumble around them, Sienna tried to reach for the transparent figure, but as she grabbed his hand, he turned to dust. A single word echoed in the wind as Sienna passed out.

Nabu.

What felt like an eternity later, Sienna woke up once more, but she was no longer in the crumbling whiteness, but rather a chamber fit for a queen. She was still wearing the silk white night dress. The walls must've been paper thin as Sienna could hear arguing on the other side of the room. At first, all she could hear was mumbling but as she made her way to the door, she could hear more clearly. She placed her ear against the wall, but immediately flinched at the shouting contest.

"I'm telling you she's not going to hurt anyone!"

"Really? So coming in covered in blood doesn't strike you as dangerous?"

"She was scared! Terrified! She didn't know where she was!"

"Which makes her dangerous! She could be a murderer, an assassin or worse!"

"She's not a murderer! She's my friend!"

"You just met!"

"Yeah, and she's treated me a lot better than the noble brats I've known for ten years."

Sienna tried to figure out who they were talking about and why one of the voices sound familiar, but was snapped out of her thoughts when the door swung open. It was like one of those automatic entrances at the mall and Sienna soon found herself on her knees against a cold hard floor with two pairs of heels in front of her. Sienna looked up to see Halley and a brunette standing in front of her, they glared at each other like a pair of wolves. Halley was no longer in her dress, but rather a dark blue t-shirt with the crecent moon on it, ripped jeans, and black sleek platform heels.

"Um, hi, I'm-"

"Don't care." The brunette snapped, "Mommy and daddy are expecting you in the throne room. Don't keep them waiting."

She walked away sneering at us while whipping her brown hair back like a snob.

"Who was that?"

"My older sister, Elaine, great dragon help us all when she's crowned queen." Halley shivered. The two of them walked through the halls as they talked.

"Your sister? So you're really a princess?" Sienna remembered back to their last conversation before she passed out.

"Yep, though I don't look like it, do I?" Halley laughed while curtsying with her jeans. Sienna laughed.

"I've never met a real life princess before. What's it like?"

"It's not as exciting as it sounds, it's mostly boring stuff like talking to high brow nobles and making sure the reputation of our family is not tarnished or ruined in any way." She mocked that last part, imitating a high pitched voice.

"Really? Isn't there at least one part of being a princess you like?"

"Well being able to buy anything I want is amazing though not going anywhere I want is not amazing."

"That's sad. Don't you have any friends?"

Halley didn't reply, instead she stopped at a large golden door that reached all the way to the ceiling. There were two guards stationed on both sides of the door, cladded in golden armor with a red cape. One of them walked to them.

"Princess Halley, your parents have been expecting you and your guest for quite some time." Even though Sienna couldn't see his face beyond the helmet, she got the feeling he was glaring at her.

"We should get going, mom doesn't like being kept waiting for too long." Halley sighed. As they walked in, the golden door closing behind them, Sienna realized something.

She was going to be speaking to a king and queen of a kingdom and she had no idea how to act around them. Should she be curtsy before or after? Should she speak when told or when addressed? Was there some kind of royal protocol to this? Despite her smile, Sienna's mind was racing with so many questions with no answers. Halley noticed Sienna's nervousness and grabbed her hand tightly.

"Don't worry, my dad's pretty chill to people, it's my mom you should look out for." Halley whispered, "Just tell the truth and speak clearly, you'll be fine."

Sienna nodded, but was still panicking internally. She couldn't tell the truth, she had to lie about where she came from, her home, the Terran Order.

It was Athena's last request and Sienna was determined to keep it.

I hope you enjoyed Chapter 4! I had several drafts for this but I decided to go with this version. To those who don't know, Nabu was Aisha's fiance before his death (in some versions it's a coma, but we all know better) in season 4. Even though he isn't alive, he does have some impact in my story. How will Sienna deal with her family's death? What will happen in Solaria? Will Sienna be able to uncover the rest of the mysterious message? Find out in Chapter 5: A Dragon's Fury.

Until next time, FallenFairy20.
