Chapter 5

It was two o'clock at night. Helia had a nightmare about losing Flora to the Trix. When he woke up, he got so scared that he couldn't sleep anymore. He got out of bed and went for a walk to clear his head and take his mind off the nightmare.

Meanwhile, Flora was sleeping peacefully near the campfire, unaware of the fight between the Trix and her best friends, unaware that her friends were looking for her. Suddenly, everything surrounding her went cold. She woke up shivering and afraid. She was completely overwhelmed by the sudden darkness. She regretted going to the forest so much, and wished that she could be back in Alfea, back in her warm bed. And worst of all, she was all alone. Little did she know, she wasn't….

Helia was still walking through the forest, but suddenly heard something that he didn't hear before. A rustling sound came from the bushes a few yards away from him. A part of him knew that Flora would be there, and that she was in danger. The dark-haired boy ran to the source of the sound, and found a large group of wolves surrounding his beloved Flora. He didn't wait any second to take action, and attacked the wolves one by one. Flora was standing in the middle, in shock by looking at the scenery right in front of her. Before she could warn Helia, the biggest wolf attacked him from behind, and left four big scratches in his back. Despite the excrusiating pain, Helia kept on fighting for Flora, until all the wolves left.

Flora flew into Helia's arms, full of relief. He awkwardly hugged her back.

'Let's get back to camp, the Winx and Specialists are all there', he whispered.

'Did they really all come here to look for me?' Flora asked.

'Of course, everyone was very worried about you. I was really worried about you as well…'

'You were?'

'Yes, I was so worried that something awful had happened to you. I really care about you Flora… I- I actually think I'm in love with you. I always have been, from the first moment I laid eyes on you. It's hard for me to express my feelings after all this time.'

Flora kept on blushing. This all felt like a dream to her. The way Helia spoke to her, he actually liked her back! She just couldn't believe it. Afraid of saying the wrong things, she decided it was best to just keep quiet. Helia felt so embarrassed after opening up to her. Not getting a response was the worst case scenario he had imagined. To avoid an even more awkward silence, he just kept on rambling about school and how he heard Brandon and Stella having sex in their tent.

After a while, the pairing reached their camp, and got into the tent where he found Timmy, Sky and Riven sound asleep. Helia got into his cabin, and signed at Flora to come with him. He took off his sweater, and handed it to Flora:

'Here, put this on. I'll give you some privacy to change, and I'll come back in 2 minutes.'

Flora couldn't help but glance at his bare torso. He just looked so handsome. When Helia turned around to walk away, she shrieked at the sight of his deep wounds, which were still bleeding heavily. She couldn't believe that the poor guy had been in so much pain, without complaining about it the whole trip back to the camp.

'Come back', she said, 'let me bandage your wounds. They look extremely painful!'

Helia turned back around, and walked towards Flora, before laying down on his stomach. Flora climbed on top of him to bandage the half-naked guy under her. Helia tensed when he felt her bare thighs pressed against his waist. He immediately felt a physical reaction to the touch of her body, and was glad that he was laying on his stomach so Flora couldn't notice his body's reaction. After bandaging Helia silently, she layed down on the mattress next to Helia. They stared into each other's eyes, and Flora moved her hand down his spine, feeling excited about touching the love of her life. Helia felt like his body was on fire by the touch of the girl he loved so dearly.

'I love you too Helia, I feel so comfortable when I'm with you. Thank you so much for saving me.'

Helia grinned, and moved his hand to her waist, without saying anything. She was so gorgeous, and so close to him. Their faces started to come closer, until their lips finally touched. His hand went upwards slowly. Before reaching her breasts, he stopped kissing her and opened his eyes. Helia looked at her, silently asking for permission, which was soon granted by the brown-haired fairly. Helia felt his pants grew tighter and climbed on top of Flora while kissing her passionately. Her bare thighs felt great against his skin. He didn't want to go too fast, so they only passionately grinded against each other. They moaned simultaneously. Afterwards they fell asleep in each other's arms.
