I don't own anything of the Winx
Sadness grew into the Fairies heart and caused a tear to fall from her eye, "I will, I promise you will not go alone." As she finished speaking the ambulance pulled up next to them and two paramedics jumped out of the vehicle and ran towards the girl, scaring her even more.
Flora could feel Kathy shaking beneath her hand and gently squeezed her shoulder in support, "It's all going to be fine Kathy, just breath. I will be here all the time." One the paramedics fell to her knees beside Kathy, opposite Flora and spoke softly as the male paramedic got a stretcher from the back of the vehicle. "Hello my name is Diana, what happened?" Both Flora and Diana noticed the fear in Kathy's face, which stopped her from speaking, so Flora answered for her.
"She was riding her skateboard through the park, she was just about to go past a man and he stuck his foot out and so Kathy went flying over the front. I did not get a good look at him I just cared about if she was all right. Kathy told me she fell on her arm and has hit her head; also, her knee does not feel right. I think she has dislocated it and she shows signs of shock."
"Okay, Matthew looks like we have a dislocated knee, head injury and broken arm. She seems to be in shock from the incident" Diana called to the paramedic at the vehicle, he ran up to them carrying a head support and a stretcher.
Together they attached the head support around Kathy's head and tied her to the stretcher, Flora never left Kathy the entire time always giving her comfort and encouraging words. As they loaded her in to the ambulance, Matthew turned to face Flora.
"Are you a relative of the patient?" his voice demanding but gentle, "no I found her like that; please she wants me to go I promised her I would." Flora replied and watched as a smile grew across his face, "hop in."
Flora jumped in the back of the ambulance and sat on a chair nearest to Kathy, she could see tears flowing down her face in both fear and pain, Matthew had pried her arm away from her chest and put a sling on it to help but nothing seemed to be getting through to Kathy except Flora.
"Flora are you there?" she asked, panic noticeable in her voice. All Kathy could see was the roof of the ambulance which speed along the streets at high speed, due to the head support.
"Yes Kathy. I'm right her beside you." Flora took hold of Kathy's uninjured arm to prove her presence and to keep her as calm as possible. Flora then noticed the redness of the white sheets underneath the girl, blood. With a quick glance at herself, she too was covered in blood, her blood. Flora had been close to Kathy and all the blood from her many cuts from the fall embedded itself into her clothing, totally ruining them beyond repair.
Flora felt Kathy's hand tighten on hers, "Promise me you won't leave me. Please don't" tears started to fall heavier from her eyes, pain pulled at the fairies heart to see a young soul like this. She stood up so Kathy could see her face giving her even more reassurance.
"Kathy, I will be with you when I can be but there are times I can't be with you and during those times I will be in the waiting room. I won't go until you say I can, I am here for you." Flora spoke in a motherly way as a warm smile grew across her face.
"Okay" Kathy replied her voice quiet but also had a hint of braveness within it, with the knowledge that someone she trusts will be waiting for her.
The ambulance arrives at the hospital and the back doors burst open and within minutes Kathy was being rolled down white corridor after white corridor, with Flora by her side. "Kathy this is where I have to leave you now, be strong and remember that I will still be here waiting." Kathy stared up at Flora and smiled as Flora stopped walking away as she was pushed into the accident and emergency ward.
Flora sat in the waiting room thinking the past events over in her head; Riven did not care at all about whether the girl was okay or if he had seriously hurt her. Emotions flashed through her, confusion, upset but anger overpowered them all. Anger at Riven.
She did not know how long she had been there staring at the floor, just allowing her mind to think by itself. However, she was brought out of her trance when she heard someone address her. "Excuse me but are you Flora?" Flora looked up to see a women and a man stood in the doorway, it was clear that both of them had shed tears.
The women walked towards Flora, and Flora could see the immediate relation between her and Kathy. "Yes I am, I'm sorry do I know you?" she asked softly just to make sure she was not jumping to any conclusions. The women walked up to Flora and surprised the nature fairy by pulling her to her feet and giving her a hug.
"No you don't know us but our daughter does. We are Kathy's parents. We are so grateful that you helped her and she is too, I would dread to think about how the situation would of went if you hadn't had been there. Thank you Flora, thank you so much." The woman pulled back and immediately noticed the dried blood on Flora's t-shirt. "Is that Kathy's?"
Flora looked down and saw the blood, never noticing it before, "I guess so, I never noticed it before." She looked back up into the older woman's eyes, "Your welcome, how is Kathy?" this time the man stood forward and spoke.
"The doctors said she will be fine, her arm is broken and her knee was dislocated. They ran some tests on her head to make sure it was okay and the tests came back clear, but they said she would have been worse if she didn't get to hospital when she did. Thank you."
"Again its fine, I'm just glad she's okay. Wish her the best for me I better get back to Alfea before curfew." Flora spoke as she shook the man's hand, "Flora Kathy is going to be in here for at least a week, Kathy would like you to come by tomorrow so she could thank you herself. Would you be able to make it?" the mother asked her voice pleading.
A warm smile grew across Flora's lips "of course I will, tell her I will be there, I better get going, and once again your welcome." Flora left the hospital slightly happier that Kathy was going to be okay but still fuming with anger.
As she entered the dorm, she could hear the boys and girls laughing, she heard Riven's grunt and her anger took control of her. As she opened the door the laughter grew in noise, she saw the girls sat on the sofa next to their boyfriends clearly enjoying themselves.
It was then Helia noticed Flora, "hey Flora where did you go? I waited for you." It was then he noticed the blood. "Flora your covered in blood, are you hurt." He asked as he jumped to his feet and ran to her as well as the girls.
"No its not mine, I'm fine" she replied as she broke free of Helia's grasp and rushed to her room slamming the door behind her, causing worry to increase in the girls and most importantly Helia.
Helia started walking towards the door but was stopped by Layla, "let us go Helia, just in case." Helia merely nodded and watched as the girls entered the room Flora shared with Bloom. She found her sat on her bed in her bra, her bloody top now laid on the floor. Flora had her head in her hands trying to control her emotions.
"Flora are you okay? You can tell us you know that right?" Musa spoke softly as she sat beside her nature-loving friend. Flora sighed deeply "yer I know" Flora felt a hand on her knee and she looked up to see Layla knelt in front of her. "Flora what happened? Are you really okay? I mean you walked in covered in blood" Flora could see the worry in her friend's eyes.
"I'm fine really, the blood is not mine. I swear" she replied trying to get the girls off her back but she knew it was easier said than done. Musa could hear in Flora's voice that something was bothering her. "Okay so the blood is not yours, are you going to tell us what happened today?" Flora merely nodded, and proceeded to tell the girls everything about Kathy and Riven.
By the time she had finished Flora was in tears, and Musa as speechless not believing that Riven would do such a thing, "is she okay?" Bloom asked concern in her voice.
"Yer she will be fine, I just can't believe he would do that I am so angry with him it's unbelievable. That's why I came straight in here I didn't want to lose control."
"That's fine I just don't believe him, so that is why you are late. We thought you got into trouble or something." Stella spoke up.
Musa stood up anger flashed across her face, "hey Musa where are you going?" Bloom asked as she stepped aside for the fairy to pass. "I'm going to give Riven a piece of my mind." Flora cried harder, Layla occupied the space Musa had and gave Flora a shoulder to cry on.
Musa walked into the living room and saw Riven sat on the sofa with a sexy smirk on his face, he then noticed Musa. "Hey muse what's up?"
"Is it true?" she spoke her voice empty of all emotion, "is what true?" he asked as he stood to his feet.
"is it true you made a kid fall off of their skateboard and then left without seeing if they was okay?" a eerie silence filled the air.
"Is it true Riven? Answer me" Musa shouted, "So what if it is, so what if I did it. They was just a kid, they will be fine, who cares about them." Riven screamed back clearly annoyed with just as much anger.
"WHO CARES, HOW DARE YOU. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAD A BAD CHILDHOOD DOSENT MEAN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO RUIN OTHER PEOPLES. KATHY IS LAYING IN HOSPITAL WITH A DISLOCATED KNEE A BROKEN ARM AND ONE HELL OF A CONCUSSION. GET OVER YOURSELF RIVEN, YOU ANSWER ME THIS WHY SHOULD WE CARE ABOUT YOU, SO WHAT YOUR MOTHER LEFT YOU WHEN YOU WAS YOUNG, WHO CARES." Flora screamed at Riven in anger as she stood in the doorway.
The girls and guys stepped back full of fear for Riven and Flora, they had never seen Flora so angry and it truly scared them. "WHO CARES, HOW DARE YOU WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" Riven yelled back.
"I RIVEN CARE FOR OTHERS, WHY DID YOUR MUM LEAVE YOU THEN? DID SHE KNOW WHAT A SELFLISH JERK SHE HAD AND DECIDED TO LEAVE WHILE THE GOING WAS GOOD? OR DID SHE JUST DIDENT CARE WELL I GUESS YOU WILL NEVER KNOW, OH THATS RIGHT, SHES STILL ALIVE YOUR JUST TO SCARED TO GO LOOK FOR HER AND I THOUGHT YOU WAS A SPECIALIST." Flora retaliated, and she watched Riven practically explode.
Riven marched over to Flora, but the fairy stood strong, "take it back" he forced out through clenched teeth, his fists tight at his side. "Not until you apologize for what you said," Flora replied back, both of them staring into each other's eyes.
"Never"
"Then that is my answer Riven, never." Flora replied standing her ground against the bigger specialist.
"Take it back" Riven tried again his anger once again on the rise, "never" before anyone could do anything Riven swung his right arm and caught Flora's chin in a powerful right hook, the force sent Flora into the wall smashing the mirror that hung there. Everyone watched in shock as she fell to her knees, her back to the rest of the gang. "You know what Riven your not the only one who had a bad childhood" Flora spoke calmly back as she stood to her feet.
Slowly she turned around and they saw the damage done, she had a piece of glass embedded in her side and her chest and stomach was covered in small cuts and blood, her lip was split which allowed blood to flow down her chin but thankfully her jaw was not broken. She looked at the glass embedded in her side and pulled it out, her warm blood covered her fingers and she held back a moan of pain, she dropped the glass to the floor and in one quick motion kicked Riven in the head. "Just think about others for once." Flora spoke as she left the room.
It was silent for a moment "Riven, you really have an anger problem." Musa spoke before running out after Flora with the rest of the girls"
