Musa POV
While Brandon and the others were yelling at Riven.
"Wakey, Wakey Pixie", I hear.
I shoot up. To the left of my bed, Darcy is standing there is all of her witchy glory, looking smug. I look over at Tecna's bed. She wasn't there, she probably went to the library to work on a project or something. I was about to start yelling, but something cold something clamped over my mouth.
Out of the shadows, Icy and Stormy had come out as well. Ice had frozen my mouth shut, shit that's cold! I glare at them.
"Hey pixie, I'm here to give you a gift", Darcy made a dark purple orb in her hand. This was it, I quickly changed into my Enchantix making the ice melt of my mouth, and the sound of me must have woken up the others because seconds later all the girls had rushed into my room with their Enchantix form. Now, we had the majority, but the Trix still had a smirk on their face. Hmm…
"What do you want witches?" asked Aisha. Stormy answered for them.
"Well, Valtor wanted us to try out Darcy's new spell and she thought who better to try it out on than the girl who took her puppy dog." Really we were still on this? Can she not move on? Go screw Valtor or something.
"Part of these new powers is the ability to hear thoughts", Darcy said darkly. She heard that, "Yes, I did. And you'll have to be punished pixie."
She shot the orb into my direction, but I was able to move out of the way last second. What do these orbs do? She seemed so confident with it, it must be powerful.
"Trust me it is", Darcy said. Before blocking Flora's spell.
We continue to fight them, before I was able to see that Flora was in trouble. Icy was killing her plants, weakening her. Stormy was continuously glitching Tecna's system, making it difficult to attack. The rest of the girls was losing power as well. I needed to get the Ms. Faragonda up here.
Narrator's POV
"Super Boom", she screamed while clapping her hands. It was the loudest move that she had. Magenta vibrations shot out of her hand. Since she was a princess of a musical realm her spell was able to cause so many vibrations that the warriors of Red Fountain were able to hear her. The ground shook with some many vibrations that while Riven was on his bike, he was nearly flung off.
"That's Musa's move", he thought speeding up.
Back at Alfea, Musa fell to the ground exhausted, that move took all the energy out of her. Just as she fell, something attacked her side, causing her to be flung against the wall with a loud thud. She fell to the ground and everything went black for her as she de-winxed.
Just as that happened, Ms. Faragonda made her way into their dorm with Ms. Griselda. But they were too late. With a loud cackle, the Trix made their way out their window, where Riven had saw them. He flew his bike of to the balcony and jumped out and through to their room.
Riven POV
As soon as I got into the room, I heard a loud scream.
Musa!
She was on the floor, with scratches on her face, writhing and crying. The rest of the girls were trying to get her to stop squirming but she wouldn't. One hand was clenching on her heart, as though she was physically trying to remove the pain. Faragonda was placing a hand on her head, making a glowing white light come out.
"What happened to her?! Musa!" I yelled, not even denying the worry in my voice. Bloom turned to me.
"The Trix came and Darcy attacked her with something", she said expressionlessly. Apparently they were still mad at me.
That bitch! Darcy hurt my girl and if I ever see her again, I will kill her. Another scream drew me out of my angry thoughts. My head snapped to her. Faragonda's white light continued to probe her before landing on her head. It disappeared revealing a large black circle that looked a lot like a bruise before disappearing again. But anyone could see the dark magic swirling within it.
"Darcy used a nightshade spell on her, although I am surprised that she was able to get her hands on such a spell", I looked at her for an explanation, "The nightshade spell is an ancient witchcraft spell that was used to play with a grieving person's mind. It creates a nightmare that is difficult to wake up from. You have to coax the magic out of her, get rid of the grief in her. Although I don't know why Musa would be grieving so much."
Faragonda looked over at Musa as she let out another scream. Her tears wouldn't stop. I wanted to take all her pain away, then I realized that I was probably the one who had caused it. I was her grief and I needed to get rid of it. But how?
"I-I have an idea", Flora said. She created a glowing yellow flower and put it up to her nose. She stopped screaming but she kept crying, squirming and began to mumble words under her breathe.
"What was that Flora?" Stella asked.
"Dream light Flower. They're used for calming people down, but it isn't strong enough to wake Musa up."
I walked up to her and kneeled down in front of her small, squirming body.
"Why can't you love me", she whispered, "Why?" The black spot got darker, if that was possible. I put a hand on it, only to pull back quickly, it was ice cold. She started to shiver violently.
"She seems to have calmed down a bit. Riven put her in bed. Ms. Faragonda and I will go research the spell and see what we can do", Ofelia said. The teachers all walked out and Griselda gave me a dirty look before leaving as well. When was the last time that she had gotten laid? I immediately picked her squirming body up bridal style and she curled into my body, for the heat. I carried her to the bed and put her down as gently as I could before pulling the blanket up, making sure that she was warm. She continued to shiver so I took the blanket of Tecna's bed and put it on top her her as well.
That was when I realized that it was silent aside from Musa's mumbling. I turned around and saw them all staring at me.
"What?" I ask annoyed, although I probably knew what.
"Why are you acting like you care?" Stella asked rudely. Because I do.
"I couldn't leave her on the floor and you can't pick her up with those skinny arms", I say indifferently.
"Mmmhm", Aisha murmurs accusingly. I glower at her.
"Well thank you, still", Flora says, trying to avoid any argument. I nod.
"We heard the vibrations and rode over ASAP", yelled Sky as the rest of the guys barged through the window. The girls all took the guys into the main room to explain what happened. I was about to go too but we heard another scream. Brandon nearly had a heart attack when Musa screamed again. Flora made a bouquet of dream light flowers and put them beside the bed, in case they helped before leaving.
"Don't leave me. I'm trying my best", she said urgently, but her eyes were still closed and she started to cry harder. Everyone looked to me and I got the message. I sat down in Tecna's bed and the rest of the guys left.
A few minutes later Tecna came in to tell me that she was going to sleep in Stella's room and that the guys were in the spare room and the end of the hall.
"Musa needs you here", she said. When I was sure that no one would come in, I got out of Tecna's bed and sat down beside her, in her bed. I wouldn't touch her, I couldn't bring myself to. She squirmed and mumbled more words under her breathe. I watched her, she had calmed down greatly. There were still a few tears in her eyes making me uncomfortable. Red Fountain didn't have a lesson on crying girls.
I watched her, despite her messy hair, tear stained face, bruises and scratches, she looked beautiful. Her skin was pale with a faint blush and all she wore was boy shorts and a t-shirt revealing her pale skin. She was perfect, the only thing I wanted was the tears gone and her to open her eyes.
Most guys say that the best thing about their girls is their eyes or the smile or in Brandon's case; "Stella's sexy bod but the best thing about Musa was her laugh, her eyes sparkle and her whole face lights up. Her laugh sounds better than when she sings. Don't even get me started…
I really didn't deserve her. Forget the fact that she's a princess, she was just too good. She was kind and loving and caring and I couldn't face the fact that I was too afraid to hold her hand. I was rude and mean too her. Anorexic really?
She deserves better, but I was also too big of a coward to let her go. I kept her there but never made took the time to thank her for being there.
I pondered on the thought for a few more minutes before I felt something that made me freeze.
Musa had moved, her head was now on my lap and an arm was draped over my legs. There were still tears in her eyes, but they were coming out a lot slower. She was calming down even more, I on the other hand was under red alert. She was too close to me. I wanted to push her away, but I knew that that would make her cry even more, so I forced my body to calm down. Her hair was in her face and only a few tears were coming out of her eyes.
"I wish that I could be better for him. I'm nothing to him", she whispered sadly, "I wanted him to like me, but I guess that he can't. Riven can't..." she said before she went silent. I was frozen, did she really feel like that? That I couldn't like her. When have I ever made her feel like…
Flashback Sequence
In the dorms:
I looked her up and down, she looked great!
"So, um…"
"Hey", I said coolly before taking out my phone, watching her face drop.
At the movies:
"So all I'm saying is that with the new turbulence module, it could undergo a whole new era on hover-bikes", I was saying to Helia.
"A whole new turbulence on what?" she had asked.
"On the hover-bikes' distributer, moron", I say to her, walking away from her.
At the restaurant:
"I'll just have the greek salad, please", she told the waitor.
"Since when were you anorexic", I mutter, knowing she could hear me. She looked at me surprised and hurt.
"I-I'll be right back", she says rushing to the bathrooms
At Magix Park:
She took my hand into hers. What the fuck? I quickly let go and move away from her. I can't hold someone's hand. What was this preschool?
"I-I have a headache, do you think I c-can go back?" she says.
Sequence over
Not just once but I had made her feel unloved the whole night. I insulted her, avoided her and ignored her the whole night. No wonder, the nightmare spell were able to consume her so well. She was grieving because of me. I am the reason that she is unloved and why she is crying. I am the worst boyfriend.
I look down at her in my lap, she was silent but there were still tears in her eyes. I hesitantly take my hand and wipe away the tears, quietly shushing her as I did. I did it as lightly as possible until there were no more tears on her face or in her eyes. Now she looked like she was sleeping, but I knew better. I move my hands over to her cheek, stroking it and feeling its softness under my rough fingers. She sighed and snuggled in closer, making me pause before continuing. She was so beautiful. Then I moved it to her lips. I've wanted to kiss her so often, but I refrained from doing so. Thinking back, I could never think of the reason why.
I then moved my hand to the silkiness of her hair. I stroked her hair, pushing away any strands on her beautiful face. I should complement her more often, she deserved it. I didn't want to make her feel like nothing anymore, I can't change right away but I will try my best. She deserved at least that.
I bent down and softly kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry Musa. For never complimenting you and for making you feel like nothing. When you wake up, I'll try my best to make you feel like a queen. I promise. I continued to stroke her hair until I feel asleep too.
Before I did, I noticed a small smile on her face.
