"You don't have a choice." Charis stood at the fountain in the center of Alfea. Behind her where two Naga's holding Flora and Faragonda. In front of her where Din and Aileh, behind them where the Winx. The other students were in the school, together with the faculty. "Except if you want them to die, ofcourse."
"What they will, even if we come to you." Aileh smirked. "I know your tactic; kill every one who could be a problem, even if you traded them."
"Fine…" Charis smirked back. "If that is how you want it, Prince, it will be how you want it." She waved at the Naga holding Flora. "Kill her."
Flora's eyes widened, when the Naga pulled her head back, exposing her defenseless neck. His sharp teeth shot down, suddenly stopped by a "NO!". Aileh had moved forward, one hand reaching out for her. "Don't do that!" He lowered his hand, while behind him, Din groaned. He knew what Aileh would do and he knew even more how this would end. "If you swear that no one will be hurt, I'll come."
Charis smiled. She had won… "I swear it."
Aileh looked over his shoulder at Din, a big 'sorry' written on his face. Din nodded and Aileh started to move towards the other Naga's. Flora was pushed forward en fell into his arms.
"Why did you do this?"
"Because I couldn't live with the thought that you would die because of me." Aileh released her and pushed her towards their friends with his tail. Flora tried to stop him, to remain with him, but he was stronger than she and soon she stood between her friends… Sobbing… She looked up and saw him standing next to Charis. Their eyes met and she saw a tear escape his eye corner and knew that she should better look away, but couldn't.
