Chapter 18: tortured

In Phobos hideout

One day later

Cornelia and Flora hadn't gotten any sleep all night, as they were worried that if they fell asleep Phobos would kill them. They were dreading the inevitable arrival of Prince Phobos coming for their powers; they had no energy to fight him off. Flora was still weak because of the lack of sunlight and Cornelia was not at full strength because she wasn't in her guardian form.

Ten minutes had passed and Phobos appeared in the doorway, shackle chains were heard shaking as the girls thrashed about, eager to get away. Phobos laughed at their futile attempt to escape, he moved closer and closer to them.

He stopped and smirked seeing them weak and ready to give up their powers or so he thought. "So are you ready to hand over the ultimate power?" he asked thinking he knew the answer. "NEVER, YOU EVIL BASTARD" yelled Cornelia. Phobos was definitely not happy with this answer, "CEDRIC" he shouted, seconds later Cedric appeared in his human form. "yes sir" he asked as he bowed, "transform and teach these two a lesson they will never forget, while I set up a recording for their dear friends" cackled Phobos as he walked out the door closed in behind him.

Cedric transformed into this large lizard form and slithered towards the girls not unchaining them yet, the girls tried to move away but the hard wall met their backs. He grabbed hold of Flora, as she was the weakest at the moment and bites her on the arms and legs making her scream in pain. "Let her go," exclaimed Cornelia trying to desperately help her new friend. "Ok because it's your turn now earth guardian" he said as he chucked Flora against the wall and biting Cornelia like he did to Flora.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screams of pain filled the room from the two girls, he undid the chains seeing that they were in too much pain to fight back, grabbing them both in his claws he started to fling them around the room making them crash against the hard stone walls and the cold hard ground, snapping sounds were heard as bones we broken.

Satisfied with his work Cedric said "now its time to take you to Prince Phobos so he can extract your power hahahahahahahahahah" he picked up the two limp cold forms and slithered out of the room.

With WITCH, Winx, specialists and Caleb

No Pov

They were all on their way to the Meridian castle to recruit more rebels to help with their search, they reached the gates but were suddenly stopped when a flash of light appeared in font of them, once the light was gone there stood Elyon in tears. "Elyon what's happened?" asked will running to hug her, "come with me quickly you need to see this" she replied as she started to run towards the castle.

Once inside the castle they ran to the conference room, there on the table in the middle of the room was a holographic screen. They all piled into the room and surrounded the screen as Elyon pressed a button and there flashed Phobos face.

"Hello guardians, sister, rebel leader and oh these must be Floras friends." He broke off into laughter as he saw the teenagers all looking toughly at him. " Your friends wont give up the ultimate power" he paused as they all let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the conversation, then he continued "so I thought id let you all witness what I'm going to do to your friends now" the teenagers all let out a gasp as two limp figures lying on the floor came into view.

Groans could be hear coming from the two figures then one sat up and shouted "Flora please wake up" Cornelia said as she shook Flora, Flora opened her eyes and winced in pain. "Ahhhh" Flora screamed as the pain increased when she moved and Cornelia screamed as she moved as well from their broken bones and bites.

The girls were pale, had dark circles under their eyes, were crying and had bite marks with blood staining their skin. "Phobos you will pay for hurting them" exclaimed WITCH, Winx, the specialists and Caleb. Watching there friends in pain filled them all with sorrow and anger but Helia and Caleb were physically red with anger as their loved ones had been tortured they wanted to save them right now but couldn't.

"Oh you have finally awoken" Phobos voice filled the room with an echo creating an eerie atmosphere "I have been waiting to do this, as it would be no fun without you awake" he said shooting large bolts of electricity at Cornelia and Flora making them give out blood curdling screams as they were thrown across the room into unconsciousness with black burn marks all over their bodies where the lighting bolts struck.

Caleb and Helias eyes were red with anger as they witnessed their loves being tortured. Then all of a sudden Flora weakly got to her feet and was pulled towards Phobos with a lightening rope wrapping around her waist, once she was before him she transformed "Enchantix" she shouted suddenly feeling stronger she tried to attack him but he used the lightening rope around her to electrocute her until she fell into unconsciousness again.

Phobos evil laughter filled the monitor then he appeared; "now you see that I can hurt them so easily hahahahaha, they will now definitely give me the ultimate power" then the screen went black. Silence filled the room in the Meridian castle.

No one spoke for what seemed like forever until there was a beeping sound, they all turned to Tecna who realised it was the phone. She gasped at the screen, "I found where they are" she exclaimed happily as everyone crowded round her "how?" asked Helia impatiently. "I forgot I made a tracking system to find Flora when she went missing last time and it seems to have found her now, she is underground in a castle 2 hours away from here" she said jumping up and down. "Well what are we waiting for? Lets go rescue them," exclaimed Stella and Irma running towards the door.

They all followed suit and headed for the infinite city to devise a plan on how to rescue them.
