Chapter 5: Starry Night
FLORA POV
Everyone huddle over Musa's bed and tried to calm her down again, Musa started to scream again. The song didn't work anymore; Layla was trying to wake her up. "Musa! Musa! You're having a bad dream, it's us!"
We didn't like seeing her this way, it was heartbreaking.
As we tried to calm her we noticed her body was in pain, Musa's screams grew louder. Blood became visible throughout her left arm, the bandages on her left leg came lose, the bruise on her back had blood dripping, and her head was throbbing. We couldn't bear it, everyone was trying to calm her but tears dripped down our faces.
"Musa! Wake up, please!" said a crying Bloom.
But we she wouldn't.
"You're hurting yourself Musa!" Tecna grabbed some bandages from the first aid kit.
It went on like this until suddenly...
"Girls! What happend?" We turned around and saw Miss Feragonda who looked at us with shock, she looked by the bed and her eyes widened.
"Miss Feragonda! It's Musa, she won't stop screaming. We tried to wake her up, her body can't handle it" said Tecna.
"Leave it us girls, go back to your dorms! We'll call you once everything is ok." Miss Ferogonda said as she walked up to me "Except you Flora, I'll need your help."
I gave Miss Ferogonda a nod and looked back at the girls.
"Good luck" mouthed Layla.
As soon as the girls left Miss Ferogonda let the school nurse in along with Miss Griselda, she then took me out of the room.
"So Flora, may you tell me what happened?" asked the Head Mistress.
"Well... After seeing the guys we were about to go back to our dorms, along the way we saw Musa's room and thought if we should drop by. But I told the girls that we'll have time to visit her tomorrow, so everyone agreed. As we were about to leave we heard screams in the room, so we rushed inside to see if anything bad had happened to our friend. And we saw her screaming, she kept tossing so we tried to wake her up. Her body couldn't handle it." I sighed.
"Well, if that's the case we need to investigate why Musa is like this. Flora, if tomorrow goes on like this I will need the help of the Winx." said Miss Ferogonda
"Ok, Miss Ferogonda. I'll tell the girls" I then gave her a nod and ran back to my dorm.
I wonder what happened to her? How will things get back to normal? I thought as I dashed through the halls. It was really late and tomorrow was the start of the Red Fountain event, how can we help Musa?
As I reached my dorm I saw the all the girls sitting in the common room, they all looked at me covered in blood stains which Musa left.
"What happened?" asked Tecna. Her eyes looked so sad; everyone was really worried about the situation.
"Miss Ferogonda said that she'll need our help if Musa's status doesn't change, as of now we just need to stay positive and get some rest." I had to be as gentle as possible with the girls; I didn't want to sound like everything was falling apart. I looked at everyone, we were exhausted.
"Flora's right girls, we should get some rest and just hope for the better." said Stella who gave everyone a hug.
After we washed ourselves all of us headed back to our rooms to get some rest.
-Next day-
It was 7am when I woke up, I saw Bloom getting up as well.
"Good Morning" I whispered.
"Hey, Good Morning" yawned Bloom. She got up and stretched her arms, then made her way to the door and looked at me "C'mon Flo"
I smiled at her and stood up, it was like another morning in Alfea.
Bloom and I went to the common room to check if the others were awake. But everyone was still asleep; I sat down and started to sigh.
"Flo, i'll just be in the bathroom." said Bloom.
"Sure thing" I said to a tired Bloom.
It was quiet in the dorm; I started to close my eyes so that I could relax. I thought about all the memories we had here, everything was just great. Stella always going on and on about new clothes in Magix, Tecna's gadgets that always make different sounds, Bloom's chit chat with Sky on the phone, Layla trying to teach pip how to talk, and Musa's music. I really wanted things back to normal.
I sighed and opened my eyes to see Stella staring down on me.
"Hey Flora!" exclaimed Stella.
"Oh, hey Stella. Good morning." I smiled.
"Don't worry, everything will be ok. You'll see." Stella then sat next to me and gave me a hug.
"Thanks Stella" I hugged her back.
It was nice to have friends who'll be there for you anytime, even if Stella is the type of girl who'll always want to have fun.
"Stella! Good Morning! Hey Flora, you can take a bath now." said Bloom who was drying her hair.
"Heeey! Morning Bloom!" said Stella.
I stood up and headed for the bathroom.
Brandon POV
I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling, my body had a sting of pain but was still bearable. I sat up to see the other guy's still sleeping, everyone had bandages on but their wounds seemed ok. I looked at the clock to see that it was already 7 23am. I stood up to check if my body can handle my weight, and to my surprise the pain left. I walked around the room to stretch my muscles, the medicine worked perfectly.
"Brandon? What the heck are you doing man?" Sky was half awake.
"Sorry, did I wake you up? I just stretched my muscles." I chuckled; Sky looked like he got run over.
"Oh? So the medicine worked?" He sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Like a charm" I gave him a thumbs up.
"Wake the others; we need to finish our plan for tonight." yawned a tired Sky.
"Sure thing, dude." I walked away from Sky's bed.
I forgot about the plan, I was too tired to even think about it. But we had to finish it, today is the start of the event. I went over to Nabu's bed and tapped him; he was always a light sleeper.
"Hey... Buddy.. Wake up" I whispered
"What is it?" Nabu groaned.
"Remember? You were allowed to attend the Grand ball so you need to help with every plan" I smiled while tapping him again.
"Oh yeah.. Fine.. I'm up" said a very grumpy Nabu.
"Go wake Riven up, I don't want him shouting at me so early in the morning" I pointed at Riven's bed.
"You just love ruining MY mornings, don't you?" Nabu looked so irritated, I laughed at him and went to Helia's bed next. But I saw him stretching so I signalled him to wake Timmy up, I went back to Sky.
"So? What time do we set everything up?" I asked.
"Well, let's leave that to Timmy" smiled Sky.
FLORA POV
After my shower I saw all the girls in the common room, they were talking and Stella kept laughing. This was right, we had to stay positive.
"Coming through!" dashed Layla.
"Hey!" exclaimed Stella.
"I told you I'll shower after Stella" said Layla who laughed at Stella.
"But! I was next!" Stella crossed her arms and sat back down.
Layla was already in the bathroom and everyone laughed at Stella, I just giggled. I went to my room to get changed, I heard the girls talking.
"Stella, you know that you have to be faster than Layla. And you should know that you take hours in the bath!" chuckled Bloom.
"I know but I just want to feel fresh, and the sooner we all get clean the sooner we'll see Musa and the guys" Stella pouted.
"Yeah, so let Tecna take a bath first. You take too long" Bloom joked.
"Ha-ha, for today I'll do things faster." said Stella.
"Its fine, maybe I can aske Ofelia if I can shower in their dorm. We are in a hurry" said Tecna who was still on her gadget.
"See?" Stella smirked.
I was done changing so I went to my plants and picked some fruits, we needed breakfast. I turned to get some grapes, apples, oranges, pears, and mangos.
"Flora! Can you come here a sec?" Bloom was knocking on the door.
"Sure thing Bloom" I got the fruits and headed my way to the door.
"Hey..." greeted Bloom. "Uhh.. What's with the fruit?" she looked at my hands.
"Oh.. Breakfast." I looked at her and gave her an apple.
"Thanks, well... I was wondering... You can communicate with plants right?" Bloom took a bite on the apple.
I nodded and waited for her to continue.
"Well, maybe you could ask the plant inside Musa's room what had happened last night?" said an uneasy Bloom.
I thought about it and maybe she was on to something, the plants might have seen what the nurse did last night. "Sure, maybe they can tell us why Musa acted that way" I assured Bloom.
Her face lit up "Great!"
Everyone, except for Stella, was done showering and eating so we al talked a bit until...
"Ladies! It's time for us to head down" Stella made her way to the common room.
"Where do we go first? To Musa? Or to the guys?" Tecna asked while combing her hair.
"Well, let's check on the guys first. Maybe they're already awake." said Layla.
We walked to the halls and reached the clinic, we heard noises inside so we thought the guys were in trouble. We were about to barge in when the door suddenly opened, the guys one by one exited.
"Brandon!" yelled Stella.
"Stella! Hey!" Brandon looked surprised.
"Where are you guys going?" Layla asked.
"W-Well.. Uhh.. To.. To... Miss Fe-Ferogonda!" Nabu stuttered.
"Yeah, she told us that she wanted to talk to us... About what happened last night." Sky continued.
"Oh.. Well, we'll see you guys later then?" said a confused Bloom.
"Yeah! Later! We'll give you a call" Timmy blushed looking at Tecna.
We watched the guys leave and we looked at each other a bit confused. Why were the guys acting so weird? Specially Timmy, I mean he's usually like that but something was different.
"Well, let's put that aside for a while and let's go." Layla pointed to the hall where Musa's room is.
The halls of Alfea seemed brighter than before, we passed by different rooms inside the clinic. Today was different; it was like something was gonna happen. As we reached Musa's room our bodies froze, Bloom stepped forward grabbing a hold of the door handle. She pulled the handle down and pushed the door, we peeked and our eyes widened.
"Morning" Musa greeted us with a warm smile.
Our jaws dropped, Musa was awake. She was sitting upright, her wounds were still visible but it seemed like it didn't bother her at all.
MUSA POV
"Girls?" I got up and walked to them.
"Musa!" They said in sync. They ran and tackled me for a hug
"Ow!" I laughed. "Hey? What's with you guys?" I tried to break free.
"We were so worried! What happened to you?" Layla asked me as all the girls pulled away.
"Yeah! We need answers!" Stella crossed her arms.
"Well... You see" I scratched my head and gave them a crooked smile. "Darcy got me with her dark balls and Toxic cloud."
Tecna gasped. "Wait, toxic cloud?"
"Yeah, why?" I was a bit curious to why she asked.
"Girls! That explains what happened last night!" Tecna looked at the girls like she just solved a mystery.
"Because of the cloud?" Bloom looked confused.
"Yes! You see, Darcy's element is Darkness. Her toxic cloud is gas that knock's an opponent out and gives them a horrible experience. I only read about it last night so I didn't notice it right away." said a very happy Tecna.
"Well that explains the screaming but what about.." Stella then looked at the girls.
They all turned to me looking like I had a big secret.
"What?" I asked. "Can someone explain things to me?" I was really lost. I didn't know what the girls were talking about.
"Musa, did you dream of anything last night?" Layla asked.
I thought about it for a sec and then I felt my cheeks heat up. I tilted my head down, I dreamt about Riven.
"Well?" Layla asked again.
"Was it a nightmare?" Tecna asked.
I wasn't sure how to respond but I had to tell them, I didn't know what was going on. I nodded my head and looked away.
"What was it about?" Flora asked.
How was I going to do this? It was really embarrassing! I didn't know what to do; I felt my heart race and my cheeks burning up. I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything..
"Was it Riven?" Flora said asked again while giving me a weird look, like she knew how I felt.
I nodded again "I dreamt about Riven last night. But it was just a short dream; it was like I saw his image disappear or something."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded. I was really lost what were they agreeing on?
"Musa" Tecna placed her hand on mine. "Last night you kept screaming, you were so violent. We tried to stop you but you just kept going, when we played a song that you sang you calmed down.. But at the same time you cried and called out Rivens name"
I was shocked. I didn't know what to do, was I that much affected by the break up?
"Maybe it was because of Darcy's spell? It linked to Riven?" asked Flora.
"Yes, but the Toxic cloud only works with negative emotions. When the prey's weakness has been hit it makes sure that the body of the victim will be affected as well. Darcy thought things through; she weakened and bruised your body then used the gas so that you would hurt yourself more." explain Tecna
"Wait? Negative emotions?" Flora then looked at me. "With Riven?"
The girls looked at me as well; I knew I couldn't get away anymore. I had to tell them, I couldn't lie anymore.
"Musa? Can you tell us what happened?' Flora really looked concerned.
I didn't say anything; I went to the window and sighed.
"Musa, please." Flora pleaded.
The girls walked over to me and waited. I didn't know what to do, today is the start of the Red Fountain event and I ruined it for them. I thought of excuses, and then it hit me.
"Nothing is wrong between Riven and I, I think the toxic cloud found its way through fights I had with him." I looked at the girls, and they turned their heads to Tecna.
"That it possible" said Tecna.
I was relief, but at the same time guilty. I saw Flora's face, it was full of disappointment.
Silence was in the air, the girls seemed happier but at the same time I saw sadness in their eyes.
"Soooo! When can you leave and go back to the dorm with us?" said Stella breaking the silence.
"I think I can leave today, probably around 10am." I said.
"Well it's already 9am so we'll just walk around and come by to pick you up later." said a cheerful Layla.
"Bloom and I will stay for a while" Flora then walked over to the plants.
"Ok guys." I smiled at everyone.
After everyone, except for Bloom and Flora, departed I laid back to my bed. I placed my arm on my eyes and tried to think straight, after the fight with Darcy how did I end up here? Did the girls find me? Maybe I should ask Bloom.
I sat up and scanned the room; I then saw Flora and Bloom laughing near the plants.
"Bloom" I called. "Can you come here a sec? I need to ask you something"
Bloom nodded and ran to my side. "What's up Musa?" Bloom asked with a smile.
"Can you tell me how I got here after the fight with Darcy yesterday?" I asked.
"Oh, well. The specialists took you here." Bloom answered back.
"Really? Were they hurt as well?" my eyes widened, I even got the boys involved.
"Yeah.. But the nurse gave them medicine last night and now it seemed like nothing had happened" Bloom patted my back "Don't worry, they're fine Musa."
"I hope so." I sighed.
It was around 9 40 when Miss Ferogonda, Griselda, and the nurse came in. The nurse had a tray which got me curious, maybe I needed medications? But I felt really great, better actually.
"Good Morning girls, I see Musa is feeling better." Miss Ferogonda greeted.
We gave her a smile, but my attention was still on the tray.
I think Miss Ferogonda noticed me so she told the nurse to open it, it was a bit embarrassing.
"So Musa, how are you feeling today?" asked the Head Mistress.
"Great, my body doesn't feel like it hit the ground yesterday" I laughed.
"Well that's great, but we'll need to give you shots so that the spell Darcy put on you can be extracted faster." Miss Ferogonda then took out a needle.
The girls gasped and my eyes widened, I hate needles! Both Bloom and Flora looked at each other and then to me, I was so scared.
"Isn't there another possible way to extract the gas?" I said laughed nervously.
"There is, but your body lost a lot of blood so we need to do it the traditional way." Miss Ferogonda then gave the needle to the nurse.
GET ME OUT OF HERE! I hate needles! AHHHHHH! My mind was screaming, I just had to hold it in. I was really scared of needles, I hate it.
"Hold still Musa" The nurse then took my arm.
I looked away and shut my eyes; I didn't want to see it. I peeked and saw Flora and Bloom; they were staring at my arm. It was like a show to them.
"Ouch!" I felt the puncture of the needle.
"Finish, now you may leave. And don't forget; don't put your body under too much stress. You lost a lot of blood." the nurse wiped some alcohol on the area.
I looked at my arm and back at the girls, they were laughing at me.
"What's so funny, huh?" I asked
"Nothing, it's just.. You and needles." Bloom mocked.
"Ha-ha. I just love how needles poke your body for blood" I said sarcastically.
Flora and Bloom just laughed at me again.
I got my things from the clinic and headed my way to the door, Bloom and Flora ran to the door with the other Winx.
"Hurry up slowpoke!" Stella waved.
"Hey!" I greeted.
"We're going back to the room to prepare for later." Layla exclaimed.
Later? Are we going to party later? Well whatever the occasion is I'm in, I want to have fun.
BRANDON POV
"Hurry up man! It's already the afternoon! We only have a few hours to set things up!" Sky yelled.
"This isn't easy as it looks ok? I'm trying to re-wire everything just to make sure that nothing will suddenly turn off" Timmy tinkering with some machine.
"Hey, this was your plan. You better stick to it." Sky mocked.
Everything was slowly put together; everyone was kept busy just for Timmy. Riven was setting the lights, Helia was painting the walls, Nabu helped Timmy, I was caring some spare parts, and Sky was also tinkering with a different kind of machine. Everything was falling into place.
MUSA POV
We were back in our dorm and everyone just sat in the common room, it was around 1pm when we noticed a growl.
"What the heck was that?" exclaimed Tecna.
"Maybe a monster got in Alfea?" Layla stood up and looked around.
At first there was silence, everyone kept quiet as possible.
"Is it gone?" Flora whispered.
It growled again, we heard it clearly this time. We turned to where the noise was and saw Stella. "What?" she asked.
It growled a third time. We burst out laughing; it was just Stella's stomach.
"You should've said something Stell!" Bloom laughed.
"Well I only felt it now!" Stella pouted.
"C'mon girls, let's go downstairs to get some food." Layla's hand was on her stomach.
I really missed my girls; it was a start of a great day. I didn't need a guy to make me happy, I had everything already. Maybe I was over Riven; maybe from now on, everything will be ok.
"Musa! You don't want our little sun princess to growl again!" Layla yelled by the door.
I laughed "I'm coming!"
-Cafeteria-
"Hello my friends!" said Stella looking down on her plate.
"You know Stell, people on earth eat their food. Not greet them." Bloom chuckled.
"Very funny my sweet Bloom, here in magix we have manners towards food" Stella jokingly said.
We ate and talked in the cafeteria for a long time, we laughed and exchanged stories. It was great! I loved it! I had everything back to normal again.
"So Musa? Can we know why you were out yesterday?" Layla asked
"Oh.. You see.." I was in the hot seat again. "I just needed some air and I thought walking would help me think clearly." I smiled at them.
"Well, everything's fine now right? We won't have to watch you 24/7?" Tecna laughed.
"Nah, I'm good." I chuckled.
"Well, maybe we won't need to even if Musa here gets into trouble again. Riven will be there for her, besides Musa's a big girl." Stella jokingly said.
Everyone agreed and laughed except for Flora, come to think of it she's been extra quiet today. Maybe my lying was too much now. I looked down and thought of an idea, I stood up and ran to the door.
"Hey! Musa!" I heard Stella yelling. They all ran after me, I could hear their heels dashing through the halls of Alfea. I had a huge grin on my face, maybe this'll help Flora ease up.
I saw the music room and forced the doors open and got up on the stage. I heard the girls screaming "MUSAA! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING!"
I got the microphone and started to sing "This is the beat"
"Musa!" Everyone looked at me and smiled. I grabbed Stella and we sang like before:
"Do do doo.. Oh yeah yeah yeah
Ohhh yeahh yeah!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!
All I really want is just one chance,
to grab a boy and start to dance,
all you got to do is move your feet
Cause baby, here's your girl and this is the beat.
Oh ah oh ah oh ah oh!
Wooowoowooow
Feel the magic into the groove
Clap your hands and start to move
Baby about your weigh, 2 miles deep
Caues baby, here's your girl and this is the beat"
The girls laughed and dance, we continued this until the sun wasn't visible anymore.
It was already 7 pm and we were all exhausted, we sat on floor and tried to catch our breaths. Today was really great; things were looking up for me and my friends. Flora seemed happier which relieved me. I sighed and smiled. Everything will be ok from now on; I just need to avoid the topic on guys. I was about to close my eyes when..
"Good heavens!" Tecna shrieked.
We all stood up and saw a ball of light right in front of Tecna.
"What the heck is that?" Stella asked.
"I don't know, it just came out of my Pod." Tecna stared at the white ball.
"Do you think it's bad? Tecna? TECNA!" Stella yelled as Tecna tried to go close to it.
The ball moved when Tecna made contact with it, it flew to the door and Tecna followed it.
"Tecna! Where are you going? We aren't sure where that thing came from!" Layla tried to catch up with her.
The rest of us followed, the ball went through the dark halls of Alfea, then it passed by the gates, through the forest, and we all followed. Tecna looked like she was hypnotized; whenever we tried to call her she wouldn't even look back. Her eyes were glued to the ball; she wanted to know what the thing that came out of her pod was. Curiosity got the best of her.
"Tecnaaa! Can we stop for a while?" Stella panted.
"Yeah, we're beat! That white thing might be a trap or something!" said Layla who was trying to catch her breath.
"Remember Tec! Musa can't get stressed out, and right now she looks really tired." Bloom sighed.
She was right, I was getting tired. But I didn't them to worry again "I'm fine bloom, don't worry. Let's just slow down a bit." I couldn't breathe, but I still ran.
Tecna stopped and looked back at us "I'm sorry girls, that white ball was just so interesting. I felt like it was calling out to me or something" Tecna sighed.
"It's alright; let's just walk a bit." pointed Layla to the east where the ball was.
"Ok, thank you guys." Tecna smiled.
We got deeper into the forest, the white ball started to get bigger. Tecna was so curious; she would run from time to time. But we helped stop her.
"Look!" Stella said in shock.
We turned our heads and saw a huge observatory; the white ball entered the walls of the building so we scanned the area. Tecna checked if dark magic was in the area.
"Let's see... My radar isn't picking up any threats so it's safe to say that this isn't a trap." Tecna said happily.
"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go in!" Stella ran to the door.
"Wait up Stell!" Bloom exclaimed as we all ran after her.
The door wasn't locked so we entered the building, it was dark but warm. The girls and I just stayed in one spot so we won't get lost, this place was huge.
"HELLO?" Tecna yelled.
"SHHH!" We all covered her mouth. "Don't just yell" Layla chuckled.
"Sorry" Tecna mumbled.
The white ball re-appeared and went up, it attached itself to the ceiling and then a spot light hit us. We were looking around to see if anyone was there, but no one appeared. The light disappeared and twinkling lights came upon the walls and ceiling of the observatory, we looked at the beautiful star like lights. It was amazing, our jaws dropped. We saw shooting stars and comets on the ceiling, it felt like we were really star gazing.
"Wow.. This is.. This is really beautiful" said Tecna.
"N-Not as beautiful as you.." said a voice.
We looked around the area and saw Timmy on the other end of the observatory.
"T-Timmy? What are you.. What are you doing here?" Tecna blushed.
"Well.. Uhmm.. This is for y-you Tecna, I-I asked the guys to help me set this whole thing up just for you." Timmy stuttered with embarrassment.
"AWWWW" we all squealed.
Tecna looked and smiled at us and then looked back at Timmy who was trying to walk up to Tecna, it was a cute sight. For some reason Timmy suddenly moved, it was like someone pushed him from behind. He walked up to Tecna and we backed away.
"T-t-tecna.." Timmy wouldn't stop stuttering.
Tecna shyly looked at him.
"UHMM! Well.. I was wondering if y-you could.. I-I mean.. If you wouldn't mind going to the Red Fountain Grand ball with m-me?" Timmy looked at Tecna nervously.
"Timmy.." Tecna blushed. "I WOULD LOVE TOOOOO!" she jumped on Timmy to give him a hug.
"Really? HAA! SHE SAID YESS!" Timmy raised his hands with victory.
We all laughed and ran over to them, but then we heard laughter on the other end of the observatory. We saw 4 boys running towards Timmy and Tecna, they were shouting with joy.
"CONGRATS TIMMY!" rushed a very excited Sky.
"YOU DID IT MAN!" laughed Brandon.
"We told you everything will be fine!" exclaimed Helia.
"Nice Job!" chuckled Nabu.
We saw how happy they were and couldn't help but join in.
"Tecnaaa!" Stella jumped in the pile.
"That was really something Timmy!" Layla giggled.
"Yeah, that was so sweet." Flora calmly said.
Everyone was having fun, but I couldn't help but be a little sad. Riven wasn't with them, so this really means that Riven and I are really over. I walked up to them so I could join in, but I just couldn't fun.
"Musa! You're awake" laughed Brandon.
"Yeah" I chuckled; the guys were in a pile. It was hilarious. "Do you mind explaining what this is about?" I asked as I helped the girls get the guys up.
"Well.. You see girls, it's always a tradition to ask a girl out with a bang when it comes to the Grand Ball. This is why we left early a while age, so we're sorry if we didn't visit you Musa." said a worn out Sky.
We all laughed "Why must it be a big bang?" Bloom asked.
"Ahh! That's a secret. Didn't the speaker tell you that we, the student's of Red Fountain, take this Grand ball seriously?" Sky chuckled. "This event is really important to us, don't worry. We'll explain things after everything."
"Fineee" Bloom smiled.
We looked back at Tecna who was in Tmmy's arms, we were really happy that Timmy did this. He never made a move when it comes to love, he was too embarrassed.
"Well ladies, we must depart from here. Those are the rules, you girls may enjoy the beautiful set up we made." said Brandon.
"Awww, really?" the girls sighed.
"Yeah, sorry about that." chuckled Helia. The guys turned and walked away.
"Wait! Where's Riven?" asked Flora.
The guys turned around and looked at each other, it was like they weren't sure what to reply. I had my hand on my chest; I wanted to know where he was. My heart was beating so fast, I could feel my head spinning.
"Riv? Hmm.." Nabu asked.
Flora nodded and looked at the guys. They turned their head on the dark area of the room and then looked at me. Was Riven there? I walked towards the darkness, but Nabu blocked my way.
"Nabu? What? I asked.
"Musa, just stay with the girls." said Nabu.
I looked at the area behind Nabu and saw a shadow move, I wanted to know. Was Riven here? I passed by Nabu and continued to walk, but then Sky blocked me.
"Musa, listen to Nabu and stay with the girls" Sky gave me a hard look.
I gave him an angry look, what were they hiding? I really wanted to know what the shadow was. "Sky, look! Bloom!" I pointed to my right. He looked and I ran passed him.
"Musa!" Sky yelled.
I stopped, only a few inches from the area. I felt like someone was looking at me, it was scary but it made me feel a bit safe. I turned and walked back to the girls.
"Sorry" I said.
The guys turned back and made their way to the door again, the girls looked at me. I tilted my head down, what I did was so embarrassing.
"Hey Musa, don't worry about it ok? We know you miss Riven, you'll see him soon. Maybe you could call him later." Layla patted my back.
"Yeah, maybe I will." I replied.
"C'mon girls! Let's enjoy this night" Stella breaking the awkwardness.
We all smiled and looked for a spot to relax.
As we were about to lay I heard something outside, it was faint but I was able to understand it.
"She was so close man! You should've waited outside like we told you!" I think that was Nabu.
"Whatever" said a very familiar voice.
"If you want things to be ok with her then listen to us next time, ok?" Nabu whispered.
"Ok! Ok! I get it! I just want Musa back as soon as possible!"
My heart raised, my cheeks started to heat up, and my hands started shake. It was Riven.
