Chapter 5
A piercing shriek could be heard throughout Linphea. It came from Stella. All of them ran to her side and saw the horror which lay beneath their feet.
In the dark of the underground there were two unmoving figures one clearly female, the other one male. Their hearts and hands shaking, they approached the two bodies. As her hands quivered Stella created a small orb of sunlight to light the faces of the two figures.
The light quivered sending shadows racing throughout the small cave. There was a sharp intake of breath as the faces of the bodies were revealed. It was Flora and Helia.
Tears started pouring down the faces of the five girls as they strained to carry both of them up to the surface. Soon the two of them were carried out and their faces were bared to the shining sun.
All were crying even the boys allowed for a few tears to escape from their eyes. So none saw the revealing of dull forest green eyes which searched for something…or someone.
She found what she sought for and a small cry escaped her lips as she gazed at the pale, motionless face that belonged to Helia. Her struggles to get up and the cry had allowed her friends to look up and see the girl attempting to sit up.
Gasps of surprise fill the air as they stared the girl who was supposedly dead. Within five minutes Stella's squeals pierced the air as she launched herself at her. With just a flick of her hand Tecna created a digital web over Flora before Stella landed.
Stella's lips curled into a pout as Tecna dismissed the web with another flick of her hand.
"Why didn't you let me do that?" Tecna's eyebrows raised as she stated
"If you hadn't noticed Flora's covered with scratches, bruises, probably a few broken bones, and just had a close shave with death. I doubt she would feel better with a overenthusiastic girl landing on her."
A sigh came from Stella's lips knowing Tecna was right. Her face brightened immediately as she took a handful of pixie dust and sprinkling that handful over Flora. The cuts began to close and bruises slowly faded away finally the boned mended, leaving only the painful memory of her quick brush with death.
Once the healing process had finally ended Flora leapt to her feet only to stagger forward being caught by the boys.
Refusing their help she stumbled forward to collapse on her knees beside Helia's inert body. Tears began to course down from her now clear eyes as they focused on the boy which had already saved her life several times.
She leaned forward and lightly pressed her lips to his cold lips for the first and last time as the grief overwhelmed her and her slight frame shook with sobs. Her friends reached out to comfort her but the boys held on and silently shook their heads.
Soon she stopped crying and let her head lay across his chest breathing in his scent before it would disappear forever. Tears still glittered on her face yet no more came pouring down.
Thump. Thump. Thump. The steady pounding reminded her of a heartbeat and calmed her. Wait a minute it was a heartbeat but who's? Her eyebrows drew together and bent her ear towards Helia's chest once again and heard the heartbeat again. It was faint and weak but it was there.
"He's alive" whispered Flora, "He's alive!" Her friends crowded around her and each felt the heartbeat that still went on against the odds.
Within that short period of time pixie dust was sprinkled over Helia and allowing him to wake from his stupor.
A pair of sleepy midnight blue eyes reopened and widened as he realized he was still alive. "W-W-W-What happened? Where's Flora!" His eyes searched for hers but when he realized she was right there his body relaxed.
All of a sudden there was someone on him and he looked up to see Flora her eyes brimming with tears and all of a sudden he felt her lips on his, his eyes widened and he sank into the kiss. When they pulled away Flora gave a shaky smile and said
"Never do that again." He pulled her into a hug and leaned down to kiss her once more.
Flora pulled out of it with a start and exclaimed, "WAIT! Did you guys find my family?"
The entire group smiled at each other and replied in unison, "Yes we found the entire village hiding in a cave that acts as their safety shelter from a monster that was terrorizing the area, by drawing all the vitamins from the plants. Do you two happen to know anything about that?"
The newly created couple nodded and both got up and tried to get to the ship but immediately collapsed from weakness. All reached to help them but Bloom got there first by using a levitating spell to raise the two into the ship. Soon they were at the cave with the village hidden inside.
A short discussion ensued and all was explained after Flora gave Rose a hug and her mother and father a short update about what was happening at school. She was ready to go.
The ship lifted off the ground as Flora waved goodbye to her family. She stared out the window silently with a wistful expression on her face. No one noticed except one special blue haired specialist.
He cautiously approached her wary of his own sense of balance and took the seat next to her.
"Are you all right?" questioned Helia.
"Huh? Yeah I'm fine" replied Flora in her quiet, melodic voice.
"I know that's not the case." A soft smile graces his lips as he says this.
A small sigh escapes her lips as she turns around and spoke, "Since when did you get to know me so well?" A blush begins to spread rapidly across her face once she realizes what she said.
Helia gave a small smile at the blush that spread over Flora's cheeks in his thoughts it made her look cuter than before.
"Don't worry Your family will be fine. We took care of Thorn or rather your giant flytrap did." He said giving a wink.
Soon the ship landed in front Alfea. But just before the boys were leaving for Red Fountain Helia pressed his lips to Flora's in one last kiss before they flew off. Flora's cheeks reddened as the girls crowded around her asking for the details. Soon they dragged her off towards their rooms all ready for the tell all session that Stella would be starting.
The two of them were finally drawn together by a vicious vine and their own determination.
