Chapter 19: Jake
Sky's POV:
After having almost died in battle, we all took off looking for Flora. Bloom's healing powers had improved tremendously and she managed to heal most of our wounds. Almost all of ours.
Out of the twelve Slayers Zafrina, Sabrina, Ferrous, Carla, James, Jamie and Leo were dead. We still had to take care of Evelyn, Bella, Saji, Derek and Jake. Who had taken Flora with them. We had tracked them down to Cloud Tower and it was where we were heading.
Tecna tracked Flora down through the chain she was wearing and we tracked her down pretty fast. The entire time Anna and Alex were discussing something in their own language but they didn't seem that tensed about the fact that their friend was missing.
We were near Cloud Tower when Anna came to the front of the ship.
"Jake is ours, I don't care if you kill the rest, including the three witches but Jake is to be captured alive. Is that understood?" She demanded.
We all nodded wanting to destroy them.
"We want to kill him ourselves. It seems like he has troubled Flora far too much." Riven states.
"No. He is mine."Anna told him with so much authority that Riven automatically shut up.
"You are at the witch place, go finish off what you started." Alex tells us.
The door to the ship opens up and we jump out of it for the second time today. The shocks that went through my legs did not help the nerves. The Winx were already in their Palladix forms and we all had our weapons unleashed.
The girls flew to Cloud tower while we sneaked in through the main door.
It wasn't hard to find Flora, she was chained up and unconscious in the centre of the hall right after the doors opened and Helia ran to unchain her. He was 20 meters from her when he flew back as though he hit an invisible wall. We all took out our weapons and were ready for the fight. We slowly approached her looking around for our enemies.
"Well well, you found us earlier than I thought you would. Then again I should not be surprised, sweet little Anna is with you after all isn't she." Bella stated venomously.
We all turned around trying to find the source of her voice. The girls entered behind us, flying over us. Musa tried to fly straight to Flora but she too flew back when she seemed to be to close. It looked like a protective force field was put up around her.
"Come out scaredy cats." Bloom calls out loudly.
Icy, Darcy and Stormy flew down from the top starting to through their attacks at us. Tecna threw a shield around us while Stella, Musa and Layla started to attack them. Their magic was so strong it broke down one of the walls of the school and the six of them flew out to fight away from here.
Bella and the other four came down from where Icy, Darcy and Stormy flew down from.
"Seems like you all grew a spine huh." Derek said snidely.
They were all bruised up, Saji was missing a hand. They were bleeding and limping when they walked to us. But that didn't stop them from flying straight to us to attack.
Brandon and Timmy along with Riven fought Derek. They never yielded, Derek was strong and his magic was vaporizing the ground around him, yet my three friends fought valiantly.
Helia had gotten up, and he and Nabu fought Bella. While Bloom fought Saji. Jake stayed close to Flora not attacking anyone, while Evelyn tried to sneak up on Nabu and injure him.
Tecna flew in between them and started fighting while I ran to aid her. Evelyn was strong and her face was distorted into rage.
My sword seemed to be very happy cutting down the evil Slayers magic. It sung to me and made me dance to its tune, I knew exactly how to block, and which attack to cut down and how to swing my big buddy.
Anna and Alex were nowhere to be seen but we were far too busy to notice anybody else but us. Protecting each other's back was the most important thing for us because Evelyn did everything in her power to attack whoever wasn't paying attention. Any ones back turned to her, she attacked.
One on one these Slayers were beyond ridiculous. Hard to fight even harder to defend ourselves, but now that only four of them were fighting against all of us, it was easier. It didn't take long to hold down Evelyn and Tecna put steel cuffs on her, apparently they weren't steel but Tecna's magic. It looked like steel to me.
Derek turned to dust, Bella was the first to go. Saji and Evelyn were both held down by Tecna and Bloom which magic. I was ecstatic that we managed to bring them all down, the only problem is that Jake and an unconscious Flora where in an impenetrable white shield. The shield was very visible to us now, but no one could get through. No matter how hard we tried.
Tecna tried breaking it down with whatever knowledge she knew, the girls tried all kinds of magic spells and powers to break it, at least crack it. Then the guys tried with their weapons again and again hitting the shield. Jake just stood there with a blank expression.
Helia hadn't given up, he was the first to start trying to break down the shield, and he still hadn't given up. It was frustrating to watch, we all wanted to break down the shield and save Flora.
"Ha Ha Ha you won't break the shield no matter what you do. It's my sweetheart who holds it up." Evelyn let out a cruel laugh.
"Shut up and leave Flora alone." Stella yelled.
The three of them had defeated the Trix soon after they left and came back to help those of us who were still fighting.
"Ha Ha Ha Ha. Try what you want, you won't break the shield. Not as long as he stands." She laughs again
Layla tried breaking down the shield again, but nothing happened.
"Try as much as you want. Nothing will happen. Would you children like to know what happened to your friend? Why we did to your friend?" She cackled.
She didn't wait for us to reply before she continued. Helia glared at her, so did all the girls.
"He wanted to join us, because THEY killed his father. But we don't trust Paladins, no no, we don't trust them." She sounded psychotic.
"So we gave him a chance torture his best friend and kill their family. He brought this poor girl to us and her screams were delightful. Lightning, fire, water, ice what did we not torture her with. HA Ha" The lunatic.
I could see all the girls tense and Helia seethe in rage.
"What fun I had when I watched Jake torture her, he didn't stop for her begs and cries, my dear lord. We were a match made in heaven, I loved how he ignored her screams, how her screams pushed him to do more." She laughed again.
Alex walked in, walked up to her. Anna walked up to Helia and placed a hand on his shoulder. Kept him in place. Saji smirked at what was going on. Alex neared Tecna who held her in place with her magic, and he cut his hand. He drew a symbol on hers and Saji's forehead with blood and whispered something.
They both screamed for a few seconds when he was done before they slumped down with no energy. Saji growled at hime, but Alex just smirked and walked over to Anna.
"He almost killed her too, if it weren't for these assholes. But what's done is done, we can still do that now cant we." Evelyn smiled at Jake in the creepiest way possible.
Do what? Something didn't feel right, we all turned to Jake to see to see him nod at Evelyn before a long thin blade slid down his hand and he rammed it in Flora's throat.
"NO!" Helia screamed while all the girls shrieked and yelled.
Riven ran up to Helia and held him back while he pounded on the shield which has started to crack.
I could feel the tension in the air break into sadness and rage. Sweet little Flora, no body hated her, we all loved her. How could he do that? The rage made my blood boil, I wanted to kill him.
Once the shield crumbled down to dust. The girls attacked, with rage I have never seen, they threw a combined attack at Jake.
What happened next was the weirdest part, because along with Evelyn and Saji laughing like maniacs, the attack disappeared. Just vanished.
When everything cleared up, Anna and Alex stood in front of Jake.
"Nobody touches him." Anna commands.
"HE KILLED FLORA!" Helia screams.
"HE is under our protection and has done exactly what we have told him. Nobody touches him."
All of our blood froze. Why was she defending the person that killed Flora, why did she not care that the sweet girl is dead. What is going on?
