Chapter 14
New life
"Well, if it isn't the little fairies again." Ogron said "I must thank you for finding the last earth fairy for us, but we'll take things from here."
"Not on your life, Ogron!" Bloom said and they all transformed.
Flora never really hated her enemy's, although they always tried to kill them. She never really wanted them to get hurt. But Ogron and the wizards, she was sick of them. They were all ten times more powerful than Valtor ever was, and they were so smug. Even though the Winx had not only defeated Darkar, Valtor, and the Trix but also restored life in Domino (Blooms home dimension). It wasn't exactly easy to defeat such a rough opponent. The wizards just reeked of trouble, somehow.
"Flora! Protect Roxy." Stella called.
"Right" Flora said and flew to Roxy.
"I know this may be a bit of a shocker" Flora said soothingly "But you need to believe in us, so we can become stronger. Can you do that for me sweetie?" She asked.
"I… I don't know." Roxy said sounding stressed.
Flora and Roxy were hiding in a ditch close to where everyone was fighting. Flora was ready to throw an energy ball to anyone who came close to them.
"It's okay, I understand completely." Flora said, smiling under the circumstances.
The last thing I want Flora thought is for her to be worried she won't make it through this.
"I found you!" Anagan, the wizard of speed, said from behind them.
"Listen Roxy, I want you to lay on your stomach and cover your head okay?" Flora said so low only Roxy could hear.
Flora threw an energy ball so strong at Anagan that flew over Roxy and could've knocked him down. He appeared in front of Flora.
"Too slow." He chuckled and grabbed her by her hair. "I'll get rid of you and then I'll take this fairy to Ogron." An energy ball formed in his own hand.
"Take your filthy hands off my girlfriend!" An angry voice yelled, and a lazar rope pulled one of Anagan's hands and made him aim for the ground. He let go of Flora's hair and turned around right into Helia's punch.
"You'll regret that!" Anagan said.
"Don't even think about it, Anagan." Flora said.
She said if I believe in fairies, they'll become stronger. Roxy thought. If they become stronger, we'll be saved right? So I do believe. I believe in Flora, and all of your friends.
Flora felt herself changing, somehow, she felt more powerful. Soon she saw flower petals surrounding her. Am I transforming? She thought. When it ended she felt more confident.
"We look fabulous!" She heard Stella cheer in the background and she laughed.
"Alright Anagan, you had your chance. But I'm stronger now, and luckily for you I play fair, so you can either run or fight." Flora said in a clear voice.
"In that case." Anagan said "I choose to fight!" He came after her at top speed.
"Autumn wind!" Flora said and he was knocked to the ground, she turned to Helia. "Could you please protect Roxy?" Flora asked.
"Of course, be careful." Helia said, running to the girl on the floor.
"You too." Flora said "Give up, Anagan?" Flora asked watching her opponent about to run from her.
"Not on your life!" Anagan said running straight at her.
"Spring ring!" Flora said and blocked his attack. "Summer Thunder!" A green energy ball hit him.
"Who's to slow now?" Flora said, half teasing. And with that, he was off.
"Ogron! They're too strong, and we're out numbered." She heard him say. She smiled at this then turned to Roxy and Helia, who wasn't stiff anymore. She sat on her knees next to him and Roxy sat up, with fear in her eyes.
Helia wrapped an arm around Flora's waist and kissed her cheek. Flora blushed and looked at Roxy.
"Thank you for believing us Roxy." She said "We, honestly, couldn't have done it without you."
"But it's still far from over" Helia said, Flora nudged him with her elbow.
One month later.
Helia and the rest of the specialists started working at the fruity music bar. Bloom and Stella had gotten into countless arguments with Sky and Brandon, just like everyone figured they would. But Riven and Musa broke up! Flora, Helia, Nabu, and Layla weren't very happy about that and have been trying constantly to get them back together.
Layla and Nabu were engaged. Roxy hadn't "found her winx" yet but she seems to get closer and closer every day and she found a white circle that is hidden on Blooms finger like a ring. The wizards of the black circle, after countless battles, went into hiding. The fairies are working on brining magic back to planet earth by playing 'super hero', and they also started their own band! And as for Flora and Helia, well, let's just say their relationship has never been better.
Flora was stressed, One wrong move she thought I'm done for. She examined the trap she was in hardly, and then it hit her. She took every move carefully.
"Check mate." She said
"You won again? But how is that possible? I wasn't even going easy on you that time!" Tecna said, putting the chess game pieces away.
"I'm sorry Tecna." Flora said, holding back some laughs.
"Don't even." Tecna chuckled
"Did she win again?" Musa asked, walking into the room. They were in the kitchen drinking tea. Stella, Bloom, and Layla were missing and they didn't have any ideas on what to do.
"Yes! This was the tenth time! Bloom should've never taught her how to play." Tecna said Flora and Musa laughed in unison.
"So should we start looking for everyone?" Flora asked. Tecna and Musa looked at each other.
"Huh, no, we should… Err, go out! I heard there's a rocking rose garden in the park, we can go check that out, then there's this music store I wanted to see and Tecna wants to visit Timmy at the computer lab." Musa said
"I do?" Tecna asked Musa shot her a look "I mean, that's right! I almost forgot, excuse me" She said walking away and pulling her cell phone out.
"So, I thought after we feed the pets, we can close up shop for the day, grab some lunch and be on our way. You in?" Musa said
"Yeah, sounds like fun." Flora said smiling. They're hiding something from me, she thought, taking a sip of her tea.
With everyone else…
"Hmm how about this one?" Stella asked pointing to a ring with huge diamonds stacked onto of one another.
"That's perfect for you. But it's not Flora" Bloom said. As Layla and Helia looked at the other side of the store.
"So when are you planning on asking her?" Layla asked Helia.
"I don't know yet." Helia said "Probably not for a while, she still has thins to settle with her parents. I'm not a prince remember."
"Yes, but you have the heart of one." Layla said smiling he smiled back and looked at the rings again.
"What do you think of this one?" He asked.
"Oh my gosh, it's perfect!
With Flora…
Flora was astonished by all the roses. They were multiple colored and gorgeous. She found herself loving Gardenia Park more and more every time she goes there. There were arches that had pink roses trailing along them and rose bushes of all colors surrounding everywhere, there were hundreds of them.
Flora took some pictures of the gardens and sat on the bench, reading Romeo and Juliet. Musa and Tecna were discussing the difference between emotions and theories.
"Ready to go Flora?" Tecna asked.
"One more second please." Flora said, reading the last line of her chapter than book marking the book and closing it. "Alright ready." She said standing up and taking one last look at the gardens before following.
The music store was filled with CD's and instruments and rock Tees. As soon as they walked in Musa gasped. Flora had to hold back a laugh. But she knew, to Musa, this was heaven.
"Let's start over here!" she cheered.
"Okay" Flora said smiling.
After an hour and a half of fake smiling and talking to customer service about guitars, they stopped by a computer lab where Tecna met up with Timmy.
Tecna, Musa, and Timmy sat and whispered as Flora Kind of spaced out. Then they finally started walking home after Tecna got a text.
"Yo, Flora?" Musa said.
"Yeah?" Flora asked.
"I was just thinking, if Helia asked you to marry him, what would you say?" Musa asked
Flora's face turned as red as an apple, "Um, I'd say yes" she said without thinking. Then regretted it.
"But what about your parents? Or your duty to your kingdom?" Tecna asked.
Flora was silent for a while, truth was, she had no idea what she was going to do. I'll just cross my fingers and hope it works she thought sarcastically.
"I… I don't know" she stuttered and looked at the ground. "I don't have a single clue on what I'm going to do. If that happens, I mean, I'm not saying it will. We've never really talked about it." Tears welled up in Flora's eyes when she thought about the circumstances.
I want to be happy, but, I don't want to be rebellious. She thought.
Tecna and Musa looked at each other
"Flora, besides Helia, how many boyfriends have you had?" Musa asked.
"Umm I've had two" Flora said slowly "They both lasted less than a month and were both set up by my mom. Helia is the first person I've ever actually loved though." Flora said, then blushed and looked at the ground again. She remembered the two snotty, more or less, selfish boys her age her mom had set up with the Pope and the Duke.
"You hated them didn't you?" Tecna asked
"Totally, it's written all over her face!" Musa snorted.
"It doesn't really matter now." Flora said "How many have you guys had?"
"None" Tecna said proudly "I really didn't have many emotions before I met you guys, I was like a robot."
"I remember that! A sometimes angry robot when we first met you!" Musa said laughing "And, I don't know, five? Maybe six?" Musa said
"Aww" Flora said "And Riven is your favorite?"
"Don't mention him again!" Musa snapped. "We're done! Over. I am totally over him!"
Tecna and Flora looked at each other.
"I'm sorry sweetie." Flora said then they all walked to the shop in silence.
"Hey girls! Where have you been?"Layla said as they walked into the living room.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." Flora teased
"Hey guys!" Bloom said "Faragonda is calling! Come into the office."
The girls ran in Tecna plopped onto the computer chair and the rest of the girls surrounded her. Then Mrs. Faragonda's face appeared on the screen.
"Good Afternoon girls." She said. "You all look lovely today."
"Good afternoon Mrs. F; and thank you. What news do you have for us?" Bloom said.
"Well, I think I've figured where the original earth fairies are hidden, but, this may be hard to understand…"
Later on…
"Are you sure you won't need our help with this?" Helia asked Flora. They were at the fruity music bar getting ready to perform.
"No, it'll be fine you'll see" Flora smiled encouragingly, Helia didn't buy it.
"If you say so…" He started.
"We're going to free the fairies, and the wizards are currently in hiding, I don't see how anything could go wrong." Layla said.
"That's right, Helia, have some faith in our friends" Nabu said as Layla playfully nudged him with her elbow.
"So when are you girls leaving?" Nabu asked
"Tomorrow morning." Flora and Layla said in unison.
"Sounds like fun." Nabu said.
Flora liked Nabu. She felt bad that everyone had questioned him at first. He knew how to make people smile, even when they're crying. Helia and Nabu were like best friends, in Flora's eyes. He even made Riven smile, which seems impossible these days.
"Come on girls we're leaving." Musa said.
"Bye Helia, bye Nabu." Flora said.
"See ya Flora" Nabu said.
"Love you." Helia said.
"Love you too." Flora said, running after everyone else.
Roxy was spending the night at their shop so they could all leave early the next morning. They asked the boys to take care of the pets while they were gone and they figures everything would just work out. The only thing to worry about are the earth fairies themselves.
So what's going to happen? When is Helia going to purpose to Flora?... Is he goin to purpose to Flora? How are the Earth fairies? When will the wizards come out of hiding? What is the secret of Roxy's past? Find out in chapter 15!
