Hello, everyone. First of all, let me thank you for helping me achieve my original goal of 150 reviews to this fic! You've all been amazing and I'm so glad that you decided to take a chance on this story and see where it could go. We're near the end here, only about 4 chapters to go, which is more than I originally planned. I hope you've enjoyed reading A World Of Fiction and that you'll be willing to read my newest story coming soon, which I'm planning on calling The Price Of Love.
Let's get to the shoutout then:
Alemara: Thanks so much :) I didn't know about the connection between Olivia and Athena, thanks for enlightening me. You're on the right track there, you'll see here what happens to them.
Sweety Chou: Thanks so much :) Ah, I think I understand, you're not a big fan, but you're okay with them, right? I do too, I love that scene. There will be another surprise coming soon and it will be really similar to that episode.
Thanks for the vote! My mother was the one who came up with the idea when I told her I wanted a baby name that meant either intelligence or wisdom. I guess you'll have to wait until next chapter to figure out which one I chose.
Weren't they? I'm glad it worked, I thought it was funny having them fighting because of a pie. This chapter they'll have a fight about something much bigger and important.
You'll see about Tecna here, it's not very good news I'm afraid. Those episodes when she was lost were so sad, I was heartbroken. I can tell you that I won't kill her, I've done my share of killing characters in this story, but for the sake of the drama she won't be doing to well in this chapter.
Thanks! :) I'm sure gonna need it, college is way harder than I originally thought. Thank goodness it's only beginning, so I'll have time to write a few chapters next week.
winxkate: Thanks so much :) You'll see about Tecna in this chapter. I was wondering if maybe the TXT scenes were too OOC, but I think it fit them. After all, they've been together for years. This chapter is not a very happy one for FXH. I never thought of Ruby for Stella's baby, but it's a good idea. Thanks for your vote, you'll see next chapter which one I chose.
AlexisPeaney: Thanks so much :) Exactly! She's like my fav character from that series. I love her and Chase together too. I'm so glad to have found someone who watched House too.
You cracked me up with your desperation regarding Tecna. Don't worry, I promise you that she'll be fine, it's just for the sake of the drama that I've been giving her a hard time. Weren't they sweet? We've got more FXH scenes here, though they won't be happy ones.
The baby is a girl and I've loved your ideas. Titania was the first one that came to mind. She sure deserves some recognition and she will have it. You'll see next chapter which name I chose. I wanted to do these eps, but since I'm wrapping up the story, I wanted to choose just a few important eps and since I love the ones I put in this chapter and the next, I had to sacrifice eps 15/16. But there sure is a lot of drama here.
Guest: Thanks for voting! You'll see next chapter. Hope you've enjoyed this story.
Stellaxoxsolaria: Thanks for voting! You've got some great ideas there. You'll see next chapter which one I chose. Hope you've enjoyed this story.
Flora: Thanks for your vote. You'll see next chapter which one I chose. Hope you've enjoyed this story.
Guest 2.0: Thanks for your vote! Ruby is the color of Zenith? I wasn't aware! You'll see next chapter which one I chose. Hope you've enjoyed this story.
Windrea: Hello! long time no see. It's okay, I haven't been reviewing either due to this story, so I understand. Good luck there, I'm sure that it will turn out Great! :) Thanks for voting for the baby name, next chapter you'll see which one I've chosen. Have you read all of the chapters I've posted?
CherryMusser: Yeah, I know it was very quick, but considering that she was very ill, there was no way that she would have survived carrying long term. And since I didn't want to kill her or the baby, I decided the best to do in this case was sped up the pregnancy. I know it may sound weird, but if you check out the show Once Upon A Time, they've done this a few times.
This chapter will pick up where we left off and we'll have another time jump here. Thanks everyone for your votes for the name of Tecna and Timmy's baby girl. I'm afraid you'll have to wait for the next chapter to see my decision. This one is once again mostly FloraXHelia and TecnaXTimmy with the addition of some Brella moments. Happy reading everyone!
The Winx reached Tecna's room about 10 minutes after the technology fairy fell unconscious and they were met by a heartbreaking sight. "Oh My God." Stella screamed once she saw her two fallen best friends.
"What happened here?" Musa asked and Timmy finally lifted his head from the pillows, where he had buried it a few minutes before.
"I think we already know the answer." Bloom pointed to Darcy, who was waking up after being knocked down by Helia. The blue haired specialist held Flora's unconscious form in his arms and his head was lowered so no one could see his face, but they could hear his cries.
"That witch!" Stella yelled angrily and she approached Darcy just as the witch stood up and looked around in confusion.
"I better get going." She muttered once she noticed that she was greatly outnumbered and she quickly disappeared.
"What do we do now?" Musa asked Bloom and the fairy of the dragon flame focused her attention on Tecna and Flora.
"Now we must help them. Timmy, can you tell us what happened?" She replied while slowly walking towards the bed where the ginger specialist lay.
"I... I don't know if I can. Tecna... she's..." He stumbled upon his words, still in a shocked state.
"We were attacked, your majesty." It was Dr. Cameron who spoke and everyone turned to look at her, the Winx with confusion and Nebula with worry. "The witch came out of nowhere when I was helping Tecna deliver her child. The nature fairy fought against her and put a protective barrier around us, but she was hit by a powerful spell and fell unconscious." She explained and the Winx gasped in fear.
"She fought against Darcy all by herself and after performing the spell on Tecna?" Musa asked the doctor worriedly and she nodded.
"This isn't good, she must have been exhausted." Stella said, getting stressed from all the worrying. "And now I'm getting stressed, great!" She complained as she started to have trouble with breathing due to all the stress she was currently under.
"Come on, Stell, you can't get too stress, it's not good for the baby." Bloom attempted to calm her down, to no avail. There was the loud sound of crying and the Winx looked around worriedly, forgetting about the new baby girl that had entered their lives.
"Now what is that?" Musa asked while she looked around the room madly.
"Can one of you hold her while I check on Tecna?" Dr. Cameron called for their attention and they looked at the small child in her arms.
"I had almost forgotten about Tecna's child." Bloom mused while she stared at the baby with amazement.
"It's a girl?" Stella asked while she walked closer to the doctor, who nodded her head. "She's so cute!" The fairy of the sun squealed and the baby girl stopped crying for a second to look at her.
"Here, hold her." Allison all but commanded as she passed Stella the baby before walking towards the bed. The little girl cried even harder as Stella attempted to hold her.
"Hey, baby girl, it's okay. I'm not going to hurt you." Stella tried to calm her down by rocking her and it worked. Soon she was silently staring at the blonde princess while her tiny hands reached to grab her long hair. "Ouch." Stella complained, surprised when the little girl grabbed it. "So you like hair, don't you? Well, you're not in luck because your mommy has short hair, so you'll have trouble doing this to her. Maybe I should cut my own hair, what do you think?" Stella talked to the little excitedly, unaware that she was being watched by her friends, who had had big smiles.
"She's a natural." Musa whispered to Bloom and the fairy of the dragon flame nodded. A different cry made everyone look back at Helia, who had been mostly silent ever since they had arrived, with the exception of his mumblings. After casting him a pitiful look, Bloom walked towards him and kneeled down by his side.
"Hey." She touched his shoulder and he almost jumped. "It's okay, it's okay." She calmed him down and he sighed, his face was streamed with tears and he looked heartbroken in a way they had only seen on the day Flora had died. "She'll be fine, okay? I'm going to heal her now." Bloom told him comfortingly and he nodded his head weakly. The fairy of the dragon flame then used her healing powers on Flora and soon her beautiful green eyes were opened and she stared at her boyfriend in confusion for a second before she smiled.
"I knew that you would save us." She told him proudly before she sat up on his lap.
"Flora." He said her name so brokenly and her smile faded as she realized how he must have felt when he had found her unconscious. She knew that it probably brought back memories that they had been trying to forget and her heart was filled with sadness.
"Sweetie, it's okay. I'm okay, see?" She told him with a reassuring look, but he stared straight ahead, face filled with pain.
"I... I almost lost you. Again. This is... I can't..." He stuttered before he resumed crying and she gently held him while keeping his head pressed to her chest. She sent Bloom a thankful look for healing her, to which the fairy of the dragon flame replied with a relieved one, and for the next few minutes, Flora held her beautiful boyfriend, the man she loved above anything and who was in so much pain. There was silence with the exception of Stella lightly talking to baby girl, who let out a few cries.
"Okay, I'm finished." Dr. Cameron broke the silence as she pulled away from Tecna, whom she had been examining.
"What are your conclusions, doctor?" Timmy asked her with his voice still shaking and she cast him a pitiful look before sighting.
"I'm afraid that Tecna's fallen into a comma." Allison explained and Musa gasped while covering her mouth and Stella tore her eyes away from the child in her arms.
"Oh, no." She exclaimed. Timmy's face was pure white as he stared in horror at Dr. Cameron.
"NO! How could this happen?" He screamed in anger and sadness.
"She lost too much blood and her condition worsened after giving birth. But she's still alive, her heartbeat is weak, but it's still there. It's only a matter of time now before she wakes up." She explained to them and there was silence once again.
1 week later...
"Why won't she stop crying?" A desperate Timmy screamed while he attempted to calm down his daughter. It had been a week since her birth and things had changed for the worse. Tecna's condition had been stalled and she had been staying at the infirmary at Alfea as everyone waited for her to wake up. Every nurse and doctor who had examined her had told them that her condition couldn't be changed, not even with a convergence spell, as Bloom had suggested. So all that was left was wait.
"I think that she's hungry. Here, let me feed her." Flora told him gently and she extended her arms. With a defeated sigh, Timmy handled her the crying baby and the nature fairy picked up a bottle from the table in the Winx's living room so that she could feed her.
Ever since baby girl was born Flora and Helia had decided to postpone the rest of their trip and come to Alfea to aid Timmy in taking care of her. The ginger specialist had been grateful for their help, though he wasn't aware that the main reason for their decision was that they needed a distraction.
After finding Flora in a condition much alike to when she had died, Helia had began losing his mind, his nightmares increased and even during the day there were times when he would have panic attacks when Flora was out of sight. The nature fairy, extremely concerned for his mental state, had decided to bring him to Alfea where they started seeing a therapist, Dr. Gillian Foster (anyone recognize?), recently employed by Miss. Faragonda. She had been helping them overcome their problems and they had to admit, things had improved after only three sessions with her.
While the Winx were on their missions to find the necessary objects to lock the Legendarium, after having obtained the mythix wands in Tir Nan Og, Flora, Helia and Timmy would stay at Alfe while taking care of baby girl and Lana. Aisha and Nabu had expressed their desires to go on missions again many times and since the nature loving couple had no desire to join in, they suggested that they stayed with Lana, to which the Andros couple easily agreed.
"I'll take her." Helia said firmly once there were more cries, this time coming from Lana, who had been playing with her toys in the small mattress that they had placed near the couch. Helia walked towards her and picked her up gently while she remained crying.
"It's okay, little Lana. Are you hurt?" The baby girl's response were more cries and Helia decided to check her. Soon he found a small bruise in her little leg that he wasted no time in healing with a potion Flora had prepared. Soon she was back to the smiling little girl that they had gotten used to. "There you go." The blue haired specialist told her with a smile before he placed her back on the mattress. The little girl groaned and she desperately lifted her arms and he couldn't help but laugh at how adorable she was.
"Looks like someone wants to spend some time with uncle Helia." Flora commented with a smile while she fed Tecna's daughter. It wasn't a full one, though, there was pain behind it. Helia smiled too before he picked Lana up once again and walked with her around the room. While he showed her different objects, she would laugh and coo. Soon Aisha came into the room followed by Musa, the two having just come back from the karaoke bar where they had been having their fun before the Winx were sent on a new mission.
"Hey, there. How's my little mermaid?" The fairy of waves asked while looking at Lana with a smile. Upon seeing her, the little girl laughed and extended her arms.
"She's been doing great, she just fell a few minutes ago but I took care of it." Helia explained before he kissed the little girl on her forehead and handled her back to Aisha.
"Always good to hear." She told him with a grateful smile before turning to Flora. "Thanks for all the help you two, you've been wonderful."
"It's no problem, Aisha. She's an amazing little girl."The nature fairy replied with a warm smile towards Lana. The little girl in her arms, having been fed and burped, looked at Aisha with curiosity.
"Are my ears deceiving me or is she quiet?" Musa asked while mentioning to Tecna's daughter with an incredulous expression. The fairy of music had gotten used to the little girl always crying for the past week, but it seemed as if she was able to calm down in Flora's presence.
"You've come at a good time, she was crying like the world was ending just a few minutes ago." Timmy replied while looking at his daughter lovingly.
"It's Flora and Helia, they're magical with children. I can't wait until you have your own, you'll be amazing parents." Aisha told Timmy and she missed the look shared between the nature loving couple. Though spoken kindly, her words felt like a punch to their faces as Flora and Helia recalled the conversation that they had had with Dr. Foster only a few hours ago.
"So, Flora, Helia told me that there's something that he wanted to talk about, something he's afraid to discuss." Dr. Foster had told the nature fairy, who had stared at her boyfriend with caution.
"What is it, sweetie?" He sighed before responding.
"I've wanted to talk to you about us." When she stared blankly at him, he decided to elaborate."I think we can both agree that our path hasn't been an easy one, but we've made it. We're together now and I'm happy." She cast him a smile, but his next words made it fade away." But I'm confused about where this relationship is going. You've told me before that you weren't ready to get married, that you wanted some time to heal and all. I just want to make sure that we're on the same page here."
"Now that you mention it, I actually wanted to discuss it with you too." She told him after a deep sigh.
"That's good, you two really need to talk about what your future plans are, in order to find out if you are on the same page, as Helia said." Dr. Foster told them and Flora looked at him sadly.
"The problem is, I don't think that we are." Helia looked at her, hurt and confused.
"What do you mean?" He questioned.
"I've done some thinking over the past few weeks and I've come to realize that I don't think that I'll ever want to get married." She told him guiltily.
"I didn't know that." He replied weakly.
"Please understand that I believe that you're an amazing guy, but I just, I've seen too many failed marriages in my life, I've been in one myself. I don't want our relationship to become like my parents' or the one I had with James." She explained and he shook his head in disbelief.
"Flora, you know well that I would never let that happen." He told her determinately and she felt tears threatening to fall.
"I know, but I'm not willing to risk it." She replied and he took a sharp intake of breath.
"What about children? Do you want to have them?" By then he was starting to get desperate and her response only strengthened the annoying voice in the back of his head that told him that maybe they weren't meant to be together.
"I'm afraid my decision is back to what it used to be: I don't want to have children." She broke both of their hearts once again.
"Is it because you don't think I'd make a good father?" He asked her brokenly and she wanted to tell him the real reason, that she was afraid of having to lose her children after everything that she had lost. However, as she thought about it, she knew that he would do everything he could to convince her that it wouldn't happen and try to change her mind. So she lied.
"Yes. And I know that I would be a terrible mother, so perhaps we aren't meant to have any children." She told him sharply and Dr. Foster started looking worried.
"Perhaps we should discuss this deeper, there must be other reasons why you wouldn't want to have children." She told them gently, but Helia only shook his head.
"No, I think the reason is pretty clear." She looked like she wanted to say something, but Helia's phone beeped."It's Timmy. He wants our help to take care of his daughter. Guess we should cancel it, shouldn't we?" He asked Flora and for the first time since she had known him, he sounded cold.
"No. He needs our help, so let's just do our best." Flora replied after sighing, guilt churning in her stomach for her lie. They thanked Dr. Foster and left the room. Once again their relationship was facing obstacles, but both feared that this time nothing could fix their broken hearts.
"Hey, Flo, are you okay?" Musa asked once she noticed that the nature fairy had a sad look on her face.
"Yes, I'm fine. Just some bad memories, nothing to be worried about." She quickly reassured her worried friends. The clock behind them tickled, signalling it was already 7 pm and Aisha face palmed.
"Ah, I almost forgot. Miss. Faragonda sent us here to call you, she wants to discuss our new mission." She told them.
"Yeah, we're supposed to meet her at the auditorium in 10 minutes." Musa added and Flora nodded before she walked towards Timmy.
"Here, will you be okay handling her while we're on our mission?" She asked him while passing him the baby girl.
"I think so. I'm still new at this parenting stuff, but I think that I can handle her for now. Thanks for all your help." He told her with a grateful smile and she returned a bright one.
"No problem, Timmy. I just love this adorable little girl." She cooed while staring lovingly at the baby.
"Don't worry, Nabu and I will be here to help you. He decided that we should stay here this time." Aisha told him with a reassuring smile. "So, shall we get going?" She then asked and Flora and Helia nodded.
"Hey, Flo, will you walk with me? I wanted to talk to you." Musa called the nature fairy, who looked surprised for a second.
"Sure. We'll meet you there." She told the others before her gaze fell onto Helia's face. "Will you be okay?" She asked him worriedly and he sighed before giving her a reassuring smile.
"Yes, I actually wanted some time to be alone now." He replied and he gave everyone a small smile before leaving the room. Aisha, Musa and Timmy noticed the tension between the nature loving couple, but they decided not to comment on it.
With Flora and Musa...
"So, what's going on with you?" Flora asked the music fairy after they had left the room and were on their way to the auditorium.
"I've been doing okay, but I wanted to talk to you about Riven." Musa replied, sounding tired and sad.
"Has he done something?" Flora asked, worried for her friend and Musa only sighed.
"He's been in his own world for a while now, like I don't even exist. I don't understand why he's ignoring me all of sudden, I thought that we were doing good." Musa confessed and Flora put a hand around her shoulders and cast her a supportive look.
"Riven has always been unpredictable, but I'm sure that he has a good reason not to talk to you."Flora told her and Musa groaned.
"I know, sometimes it sucks to be his girlfriend. Like, I feel like I don't know him at all. You're lucky to have Helia, Flo." The fairy of music angrily said and it was Flora's turn to sigh.
"I don't know, things haven't been all that great between us. He has been having a hard time lately and I'm feeling guilty for everything I've put him through." Musa cast her a knowing look, understanding exactly how she felt. "Maybe it would be best if we weren't together." Flora confessed sadly and Musa widened her eyes.
"Don't say that, Flo. You two are like made for each other!" Musa told her firmly and Flora looked unsure. "And besides, guys like Helia are one in a million, so you should just appreciate what you have instead of drowning in guilt. It won't do you any good. " She added and the nature fairy sighed.
"You're absolutely right, Musa. The problem is that, besides all the trouble we've already had, I'm starting to think that we might want different things in life, so our relationship might not have a future." Musa was surprised by these words, unknowing of what Flora meant.
"What do you mean by 'you want different things in life'? What different things?" A pained look came upon the fairy of nature's face as she answered.
"We were talking with our therapist today about children. Helia has said many times that he wants to have them and his opinion hasn't changed, but mine has. After everything I've lived, after watching everything my parents had to go through, I know that I would never be able to bare the pain of losing a child. So, I've decided that I no longer want to have them." Silence followed her confession and Musa sighed deeply.
"Wow. That's some pretty big decision." She commented, not knowing what she should say.
"Yeah. And I'm afraid that's gonna ruin our relationship." Flora told her with tears in her eyes and the fairy of music gave her a sympathizing look.
"Is he loves you as much as I think that he does, I'm sure that he'll choose to be with you. Besides, you don't have to have kids for him to be around them, we've got Lana, Tecna's child and also Stella's." Her words comforted the nature fairy and she smiled gratefully at her.
"Thanks for the advice, Musa. I hope Helia sees it that way too." She told the fairy of music. By then they had already reached the auditorium.
"You got it." Musa replied before she opened the door.
In the auditorium...
"There you two are! Where have you been?" The two friends were greeted by an impatient Stella, who wore a red dress they had never seen her in. As they would later find out, the sun fairy had just began showing, since she was already 11 weeks pregnant, so she was being forced to wear loose clothes.
"Sorry, Stel. We were taking a walk, so we lost track of time." Musa told her in a soothing tone and the sun fairy glared at them, but Brandon cast her a warning look so she said nothing. The brunette specialist had an arm wrapped around her shoulder and whispered something in her ear, causing her to smile.
"It's alright, you're just in time." Miss. Faragonda told them while she stood near Daphne and Eldora.
"So, where will we go now?" Musa asked excitedly as she and Flora joined the other fairies and their partners. All of the specialists plus Thoren were there.
"So, I was able to track down the second object that we'll need in order to form the Legendarium key." Daphne told them and Thoren cast her a proud smile.
These two had gotten even closer ever since they had returned to the Magic Dimension and just two days before they had shared the news that they were going to move in together in the palace of Domino. Bloom had been ecstatic for her sister and she had agreed to help with the move after their mission was finished. Everyone was happy for them, they knew just how much Daphne had gone through and agreed that she deserved the kind of happiness she seemed to have found with Thoren.
The idea to move in together had come from Thoren during their romantic getaway while the Winx were in Tir Nan Og. Daphne had taken a few days to think about it and she had accepted his proposal easily. They had returned from their trip a few days ago and she had been given her mythix wand, since there were seven wands that the Winx had managed to free after proving themselves during their fight against the Trix to protect Tir Nan Og.
"That's great, Daphne! Where is it?" Bloom asked her sister excitedly.
"In the lost village of FearWood, in Canada. I researched a bit about it and I found out that the inhabitants used silver to warn off werewolves." Daphne explained and Stella rolled her eyes.
"Mummies, zombie pirates and now werewolves? Earth is such a messed up place." The princess complained and Aisha and Musa had to hold themselves not to snap at her. Since the announcement of her pregnancy, Stella had been showing her mood swings all the time and they were sick of annoying, irritable Stella.
"I couldn't agree more." Brandon said and Stella smiled gratefully at him for agreeing to her.
"So, what exactly is this object that we're looking for?" Bloom asked Daphne, who used her wand to conjure an image of what they seeked.
"That's a totem, isn't it?" Timmy asked from the corner where he stood with half asleep baby girl in his arms.
"Yes. There is the silver spear, which can be used to rid the village of the werewolves. That's what we'll be looking for." Daphne explained and they nodded.
"Then let's get going! We have no time to waste." Bloom commanded before there was a loud shout as a new person entered the room.
"Wait! You can't leave yet!" Everyone turned their heads to look at Krystal and Daniel, who had just entered the room. The princess of Limphea carried a small bottle in her hands.
"Hello, Krystal. I sure didn't expect to see you again so soon." Flora greeted her warmly. A few days after the night of her princess ball, Krystal had told them that she had been appointed to help the healer that was in charge of King Therendor. Her mother, queen Violet of Limphea, had told the healer about Krystal's healing powers and the king and queen of Andros had told her that perhaps she would be able to save the king. So, the princess of Limphea had left Alfea and gone to Andros to try to figure out a way to heal the king.
"I wasn't expecting to come back to Alfea so soon either, but things have changed." Was Krystal's response and she smiled brightly.
"Weren't you supposed to be looking after my father?" Aisha asked her, her tone stern.
"I was looking after him. Yesterday, Astrid (the healer) had an idea to save him and I thought it might work, so I went to Limphea to gather what we needed." They looked at her with wide eyes.
"So you've found a way to save my father?" Aisha asked hopefully and Krystal smiled.
"I'm not 100% sure that this will work, but it's a good bet." She told them and they looked at her expectantly.
"It's more than a good bet, it's a brilliant idea." Daniel told her while giving her a proud smile.
"What great idea?" Stella asked impatiently and this time no one cast her warning glances.
"Astrid told me of a magical tree in Limphea called the Black Willow. According to what she told me, it lives on top of a waterfall where the water runs backwards and it has the power of reversing time." The Winx shared looks as they recalled their mission to that same tree only a few years previous.
"The black willow's tears. I'm surprised that we didn't think of it before." Bloom commented and Krystal's smile enlarged.
"You were there before, weren't you?" She asked them and they nodded.
"A few years ago. That's where I earned my Enchantix powers." Flora told her and her eyes went wide.
"Guys, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"Musa asked them with a bright smiled.
"If you're thinking that this might be a way for us to save Tecna too, then yes, Musa." Bloom replied with a bright smile and Stella and Aisha gasped.
"That's right. This is just perfect!" Aisha exclaimed and Timmy looked at them with hope.
"Are you sure that this could work? You could... save her?" He asked them unsurely and they gave him reassuring smiles.
"They're telling the truth, Timmy. The black willow's tears saved me from an evil spell cast by Valtor, years ago. It will work on Tecna as well." Miss. Faragonda told him and his face lightened up.
"I...I can't believe it. I'll see her again, hear her voice, it's everything I've wanted for these past few days." He exclaimed while looking dreamily at the little girl in his arms."Hear that, baby girl? You're going to meet your mommy." He told her excitedly and the Winx swooned at the beautiful sight.
"So does that mean that you two will figure out a name for her? Cause it's getting so weird calling her baby girl." Musa told him and everyone laughed.
"Okay, Winx, we should get going. Krystal, thank you so much for your help, but we really need to hurry." Bloom told the princess of Limphea, who gave them an understanding look.
"Of course, I understand." She replied and the Winx and specialists left after saying their goodbyes to Timmy, Aisha and Nabu. Flora and Helia decided to follow their friends in this mission, wanting to distract themselves from the fight that morning. After they were gone, Aisha approached the lavender haired princess.
"Can you give me the tears so that I can go heal my father?" The fairy of waves asked her and Krystal smiled before handing it to her.
"Here they are. I hope it works." She told Aisha hopefully and Timmy approached the two.
"What about Tecna?" He asked and Krystal sighed.
"I'm afraid that's all I had, but I can go back there and get some more water." She told him and Aisha, upon seeing his pained expression, made up her mind.
"Here, you can give this to Tecna." She said while handing him the bottle and he looked at her with wide eyes."I can see how much you're hurting, Timmy. Healing Tecna is our priority now, so you go and save her."
"I have no words to express how grateful I am." Was his reply.
"We'll go to Limphea now, will you be okay, Timmy?" Nabu asked him as he approached the trio with baby Lana in his arms. Timmy nodded, so the Andros couple followed Krystal outside of the auditorium while he walked the opposite direction, towards the infirmary.
IMPORTANT: Shoutout to AlexisPeaney for giving me the idea for the black willow's tears! Thank you!
Back with the Winx...
The six fairies reached Fearwood village about an hour later. Stella used her powers to create warm outfits for them since it was winter in Canada. Upon arriving, they were met by Eldora, who warned them that in order to find the totem and the silver spear they would have to go into the Legendarium World. After the fairy godmother was gone, they decided to search for it in the village and so the Winx and Specialists split up.
During their goodbyes, everyone noticed the tension between Flora and Helia, something unusual and unexpected. They wondered what could cause such a cold treatment between those two and Musa prayed that everything would go alright for them in the future. She also prayed that Riven would stop acting like a jerk, like when he distractedly played with his boomerang while Eldora was explaining to them how to find the silver sphere.
Bloom, Stella, Musa, Flora and Daphne searched along the village with the use of Bloom's mythix wand, but their search was rendered useless. They found no sign of the totem. Just as they were finally able to gather information upon its location, they were greeted by the sight of many people transforming into werewolves, courtesy of the Legendarium. So the five fairies transformed into their fairy forms and tried to hold off the werewolves without hurting them, since they were just normal people who had been cursed. Musa and Stella took care of the ones who attacked them easily, the fairy of music even got to try a new spell she had been dying to see and the results left her satisfied as the creature started busting dance moves.
During their fight, Flora had been distracted and almost got herself killed, but thankfully Bloom saved her. The fairy of the dragon flame, just like the others, was extremely concerned for her friend. She knew that it wasn't the time to discuss her behavior, though, so she and the others had agreed to question her about it once they were back at Alfea. In the end, it was the nature fairy that got their victory upon the werewolves with the creation of a cage to trap them. So they flew away in search for the specialists.
As they would later find out, the men's search had proven to be even more useless than their own. They had searched the forest and the only thing they found was an annoying Riven playing werewolf and causing Helia to go mad. The specialists had been surprised to see the usually pacific blue haired man act so roughly and they had gotten worried.
Soon they had decided to return to town so that they could meet up with the Winx, but they were stopped by an attack from many werewolves. The Winx found them just as Sky was about to take care of one of them. "Sky, no, please." Bloom begged him as she landed by his side and the boys looked at the newly arrived fairies with relief.
"Are you girls alright?" Thoren asked them, eyes focused on Daphne, who nodded.
"Yes. We were attacked by some of them, but we escaped." She told him before she turned to the other specialists. "We need to catch them without inflicting pain because they're just everyday men and women transformed." She explained and Musa came up with an idea, so she used her magic to conjure a cage made of music notes to trap them.
"Nice one, Musa." Bloom told her proudly and Riven cast a smile her way that left her confused. After that, Bloom and Daphne used their magic to send some werewolves into Musa's cage. Once the beasts tried to escape, a loud sound reverberated through it and they covered their ears before taking steps back from the music bars.
"This was a brilliant idea, Musa." Riven told the music fairy with a smile and she sent him a small one. She could feel anger towards him bubbling up as she wondered why he seemed to be playing with her, ignoring her for days and then all of sudden being nice. She was ready to ask him about it when all of sudden they heard a groan and everyone turned to look at two werewolves who were thrown off, coming from an alley.
They looked confused for a second before they spotted Helia, who kicked another one into the music cage. The specialists looked impressed while he battled the beats like it was nothing, with an unusual fierceness. Bloom and Stella shared worried looks before their eyes settled on the nature fairy, who watched him with a sad expression. Soon Helia had taken care of the remaining five werewolves and he was congratulated by the specialists.
"Helia, you were incredible." Flora beamed as she flew to his side.
"I might not be able to take care of children, but I know a thing of two about fighting against wild beasts." He responded coldly, surprising and confusing the group even more.
"So that's what this is all about?" She asked him shockingly and he sighed deeply.
"Of course it is about what you said! If you wanted to erase my confidence about being a father someday, then congratulations because you've done it." He replied with a pained look and she looked at him sadly.
"Helia, I..." Flora started saying before many werewolves appeared.
"We better get out of here, guys." Sky urged them and everyone started leaving in the direction of a clearing where the Winx had been told that the totem existed. Helia stayed behind to stall the werewolves while they left.
Far away from there, in Cloud Tower, three witches watched them with smirks. "Sisters, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Icy asked them and Darcy nodded.
"This is our chance to get our revenge on Flora and him for humiliating me last week." The witch of illusions said angrily.
"Indeed. And I know just how we're going to do that." Icy told them before she turned to Selina."Selina, are you able to give me the power of a character from that book?" She asked the young girl, who smirked.
"Tell me who, and their power will be yours." Was her reply and Darcy looked at Icy indignantly.
"Hey, why do you get to destroy them? It's my revenge." She complained and Icy sighed.
"Because you were the one who messed up last time, so if we want thing to get done, I should be the one taking care of it." She replied sternly and Darcy fell silent.
"You're right. Good luck there." She wished and Icy sent her a smile.
"I won't need it." She replied before Selina worked her magic.
Back at Alfea...
Timmy nervously walked towards the infirmary with baby girl sound asleep in his arms. Part of him was scared that this wouldn't work, that Tecna would never open her eyes again and he would have to raise his daughter all on his own. He was afraid of having hope, but with each step towards Tecna's room he began feeling more hopeful. Soon he was right at her door and he opened it.
Tecna lay in the bed wearing her favorite outfit, a short purple dress that she had wore on the night he had proposed to her. Her hair was loose and sprawled on the pillows. She looked like an angel to him, though the usual glow he would see in ehr was gone. It was unsettling, how much she had changed ever since she had fallen into the comma. Her skin was even paler than usual and she looked so lifeless, so lost.
Timmy gently placed their daughter on a crib left on the room for the days he would sleep there before he approached the bed. The little girl cried in protest, but soon she went back to sleeping peacefully. "Hey, Tec." He greeted the technology fairy with a small smile. "I know that you probably can't hear me, but I've brought great news." He told her while holding up the bottle. "We've found a way to bring you back, to heal you. It's not certain that it will work, but I hope, no I pray that it will. Because I can't live without you, Tecna. I already went there when you were lost in the Omega Dimension and it was the hardest moment of my life.
I know it's illogical to be so attached to someone, but I don't care. You are everything to me, the string that ties me to this world and keeps me from doing something stupid. I just want you back so that we can achieve the happiness that we so desperately wanted these past few weeks. I want everything to be alright." He held her cold hand in his while confessing and he looked at her with so much love no one could ever doubt his feelings for her. "So let's do this." He added before taking out the cover of the bottle. With gentle and careful movements, he placed it on her mouth and helped her swallow the water. There was silence for a few moments as he stared at her with anticipation and fear. At last, she opened her eyes.
"Timmy?" Her beautiful teal eyes fell on his face and she looked so confused, so lost. But she was alive and, to him, that was all that mattered.
"Tecna. You're okay." He said with so much joy and she was even more confused when he threw his arms around her in a tight but gentle hug. Knowing her fiancée, she decided to let him have this moment before he explained everything to her. So she wrapped her own arms around him and placed her head on his chest, where his heart was beating strongly for her.
So, what are your thoughts? Did you enjoy the FXH scenes with the babies? What will happen with them now that they realized that they have different views of the future? And will Icy be able to get her revenge?
What about Daphne and Thoren? Did you like the development of their relationship that I put in here? Would you like some flashbacks to their conversation when he asked her to move in?
Told you that I wouldn't kill off Tecna. Did you like how it was Krystal that came up with the idea to heal her? I wanted to give her more importance to the story.
Next chapter you can expect fluffy TXT with their baby girl, AXN cute scenes and a lot of FXH drama. Also, a surprise is coming and I'm sure that everyone will enjoy it. I'll try to have the next one by tomorrow, but most likely it will come on Monday. Think we can make it to 5 reviews or maybe even more? You've been on fire recently.
