Chapter 6: Stellar view
Everything went better than I thought; everyone had a great time, I easily got Riven out of my mind since the girls kept making things fun and interesting.
"Did you see that Stella?" Bloom pointed.
"Yeah! It looked like knut!" Stella jokingly said.
"What? Knut? Not him!" laughed Bloom "Look there! It looks like a pan or something"
"Oh! That's The dipper Bloom" Tecna sat up. "It is an asterism of seven stars. The Dipper is significant because the North Star can be found using it." Tecna discussed.
"Aster- what?" Stella exclaim.
"Asterism, it's a topic in astronomy. An asterism is a pattern of stars recognized on Earth's night sky. It may form parts of an official constellation, or be composed of stars from more than one." Tecna continued.
"Oh my, earth sounds heavenly! Here in magix stars aren't always in the sky, you know... Because of dark magic and stuff" said an amaized Stella.
"Yeah, earth can be a neat place" said Bloom who placed her hands behind her head.
Even if we had our differences all of us can still communicate properly, it's really amazing.
"Girls, it's getting a bit late. Even if its the Red Fountain week, we should probably go." said a disapointed Flora.
"Yeah, though I really love what Timmy did. I'll never forget this." Tecna giggled.
Everyone smiled, we've never seen Tecna this happy when it comes to Timmy.
"T'was a night to remember my sweet Tecna" Stella teased.
Tecna blushed and we all laughed.
"Yeah, ok. That was has highly inappropriate." Tecna was flushed.
"All right, lets go already. We might not make it through curfew." Flora headed to the doors laughing.
-Alfea-
"Oh dharling! I'm worn out!" Stella gasped for air.
"Don't complain Stella, you were the one running." Layla yawned.
"I just wanted to get back as soon as possible, I miss my bed!" Stella ran to her room. "GOOOOOD NIGHT LADIES!" she yelled.
"Night Stella" Flora giggled.
"She's something, isn't she?" Bloom chuckled and sat down the couch.
"Yeah, but it's great" said Flora.
While the other were still relaxing Tecna went straight to our room, she needed to 'recharge' herself. I joined the other girls, it was quarter to 10 and we just sat and stayed quiet. Enjoying the silence, until..
"OH MY GOSH! AHH!" Tecna shrieked.
We all jumped from our seats and ran to the room, Stella heard the scream and looked out her door with huge eyes. "What the heck is going on?" asked a very tired Sun Princess.
"It's Tecna! C'mon." said Bloom.
Stella followed and we all tried to get in at once but we got stuck through the door way, it was a disaster!
"Tecna? Whatch going on?" Bloom's face was being crushed by Stella's back.
"Ahhhre yvou ok?" Layla asked while my hand was on her cheek.
Tecna was facing the other way so we didn't know what was going on, good or bad we wanted to untanggle ourselves.
"Bwoom!" Iwnhale your shtomac!" Stella yelled. "Musha! Lift your harm up, sho Layla can bend dowwn and crwawl!" we somehow understood what Stella ordered and we obeyed.
After that tragic moment we rushed over to Tecna, we huddled around her and tried to peek. Tecna noticed and turned to us with a huge grin on her face.
"Tec, what's going on?" Layla asked.
Tecna was still smiling, then she lifted her hand. We all compressed and saw a large pendant like necklace.
"What is that?" Stella asked trying to appreciate its beauty.
"Girls, this is from Timmy! This is something for the Red Fountain Grand Ball, it's like the invitation." Tecna was all giggly and it was a rare site to see.
The large pendant like necklace was colored red on the outer area, in the middle part was a beige circle with weird charaters circling it, and on the middle was a small blue-black orb. It was really beautiful.
"What are those hieroglyphic-like things around the middle?" Bloom pointed.
"Oh! These were old characters used in Red Fountain a long time ago, they were used to hide messeges from enemies. Right now these characters are still being used by Red Fountain, but it's for exclusive events. As you all can see there are characters around the pendant, if we translate it the words will form 'Red Fountain' and at the back is the name of the person who owned it. Look! 'Timmy' is engraved in old characters!" Tecna was so happy, it made us smile.
"Ok, how did Timmy give it to you? Was he here? Were the specialist here? Brandon!" Stella shouted.
"No Stell, he must have left it here when we were in the observatory. There was letter here saying that he didn't have a chance to give it to me awhile ago, since the other guys dragged him out." chuckled Tecna.
Everyone got more excited, the girls kept giggling and they kept talking about the guys. I have to admit that it was a great view of the girls, everyone was so happy. I didn't want to ruin their fun so I crawled to my bed and slowly went sleep.
-Next day-
I woke up to the ringing of my cellphone, it was irratating. I placed my pillow on my head so that it would help me ignore the ringing, but to no prevail the ringing wouldn't stop. I threw the pillow and took my phone from the side desk, I looked and saw that Brandon was calling. And I noticed that it was 6 30am!
I picked up the phone.
"Hello?" I groaned.
"Hey! Musa! Sorry I called this early, I just needed to ask a favor from you." said Brandon.
"What?" I mumbled.
"Well, Red Fountain is having a party for those guys who won't get dates. The party is a day before the Grand Ball, and right now we sorta have a problem. Cordatorta asked me to look for a singer for the party, and I thought you would be perfect for it since-"
I cut Brandon off.
"What? Since I won't go to the Ball?" I got furios, why'd Riven have to tell them right away? Was this his way to embarass me?
"Ok... No. I was gonna say, since you're one of the best singers in Magix." Brandon sounded a bit nervous. "Why? Aren't you going? Are you and Riven ok?" he asked.
"Oh... Uhmm.. Sorry about that and yeah were ok, I just thought since I'm injured I won't be able to go. You kow how Riven is, right?" That was really embarassing.
"Yeah, don't worry about your injuries. The nurse gave you the same medicine as us right? So you'll be better by then, plus Riven wouldn't want to miss this great night with his girlfriend." Brandon sounded like he smiled.
"Yeah." was the only thing I could say, I felt my head get hot. I didn't like lying, but I had to!
"So, I'll tell Cordatorta that you'll go on saturday night." said Brandon.
"Sure thing." I really didn't want to go but he'll ask why and I'd have to lie again, it was like a cycle now. I didn't like it.
"Ok, great! Bye!" then he hung up.
I sighed, laid down, and went back to sleep.
-9 30am-
So this time I woke up uninteruppted, I streched and jumped out of bed. I saw Tecna still sound asleep so I tried waking her up since we were going to Magix today.
"Tecnaaaa" I whispered.
No response.
"Tecnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" I whispered again.
No response.
"" I whispered again.
Yet again, no response. It seemed like she was in a really comfortable spot, I just gave up and made my way to the door. I saw Flora, Stella, and Bloom eating some omelette and bread. I then went straight to the bathroom to take a bath.
A warm relaxing bath was what I needed, I stayed in the shower for about 20 mins. I just love baths the sound of water splashing was always entertaining.
I left the bathroom and went to my room, I passed by the girls again and this time Layla was awake. It seemed like Tecna was too comfortable, I decided to take things to the next level. After dressing up I jumped on Tecna's bed and started to bounce, and that did the trick. Tecna groand, she tossed and turned while fighting the comfortable position. I jumped down and left her to join the others.
"Hey musa! Isn't Tecna coming out? We'll be leaving at 12! She's usually an early bird." Stella placed one hand on her hip ad looked straight at me.
"Not yet, she's still fighting the comfortable blankets." I chuckled.
"Oh fine." Stella sat down again.
I went to sit next to Layla who was getting ready to go to the bathroom, she got her things and she was about to leave when she suddenly jumped.
"What the heck was that!" said a surprised Layla. "Something just vibrated on my hip!"
She went near and heard buzzing, it was in Stella's pocket.
"Oh, sorry." smiled Stella.
Layla just rolled her eyes and went to the bathroom.
I turned my attention back to Stella who had a smile one her face.
"Hey, who is that?" I asked.
"It's Brandon!" She giggled.
Stella answered her phone and walked to the window.
"Brandon! Sweetie!" Stella exclaimed.
"Wait.. What? Now? Why? But we were suppose to.. I know, but... Oh fine... Ok.. Ok.. Ok.. Why there? Why can't you.. Fine.. Ok, bye." Stella looked disapointed, she went back to her seat and sighed.
"What's up Stella? Why the sudden sadness?" Bloom rubbed Stella's back.
"It's Brandon. We were suppose to go out today, after we go to magix we were suppose to meet up. But he cancelled it because Cordatorta suddenly gave them a mission, he said that he'll make it up to me next time." Stella sighed again. "He also said that he left me a sorry gift at the beach, I asked why couldn't he give it to me and why did he leave it at the beach."
"What did he say?" I asked.
"Well, he couldn't give it to me because he's going to leave now. And he has a friend at the beach." said Stella. "Well... Whatever! I shouldn't let this affect me, I'm Stella. I don't let things like this get me down"
Everyone knew Stella was hurt, her eyes says it all.
After about 10 min of 'comforting' Stella we heard the door open, it was Tecna! She was rubbing her eyes and her hair was a mess.
"Good morning sleepy head! Did you have a nice sleep?" asked Layla jokingly.
Tecna nodded and yawned to the bathroom so she can freshen up.
After another 30 mins Tecna was all done.
"So Stella, where do we go? Magix or the Beach?" asked an eager Bloom.
"Well, I want to see my gift now!" Stella excitedly said.
"Then to the beach!" I shouted.
"Yeah!" everyone yelled.
BRANDON POV'
"Hurry up guys!" I was under stress, no one was cooperating that much.
"Relax dude, we'll get through this and you'll see Stella as soon as possible." Sky comfortingly said.
"I wish, I'm sacrefiseing a lot just for Stella I don't want all this be put to be waste." I looked at sky and went on with my business.
"Everything will be fine!" yelled Sky.
MUSA POV
It was a hot afternoon, perfect time to be here in the beach. We got out of the bus and looked around, the beach was so beautiful. The sun was up and it shined down on our faces, today was a great day to be here.
"So Stella, where did Brandon say your gift was?" asked Layla.
"He said I'll know when I see it, but I'm really clueless." Stella walked and scanned the beach.
We followed her and looked around, the beach seemed a bit empty. I swear I saw about 4 people here, there weren't even people swimming. But then something caught my attention, I heard a lot of noise not far from where we were.
"Girls! Over there." I pointed. "I can hear a lot of people gathering in that area!"
We ran and I was right, there were a lot of people gathered. We made our way to the crowd and squeezed ourselves to see what was going on.
"Excuse us." Flora politely said.
"Sorry, coming through." said Layla.
"Princess trying to pass, excuse us." pushed Stella.
When we made our way we saw a huge gift box, we were stunned. It was bigger than us, the present was just in the middle of the beach. It had a huge red ribbon and the wrapping was silky yellow with starts printed on it, there was a tag hanging by the side that said 'To: Sunshine'
"I think thats mine!" Stella said with a huge smile one her face.
"You think? Girl! That is yours!" laughed Layla.
We all laughed and Stella ran around the gift, she jumped and clapped with joy. The crowed patiently waited for Stella to open the gift, their faces were filled with curiosity.
"Stella! Hurry and open in!" chuckled Bloom.
Stella knocked and placed her ear on the gift, she was trying to figure out what the gift was. She saw a rope near the ribbon and walked near it, trying to pull it down Stella yelled "I COULD USE SOME HELP OVER HERE!"
We laughed again and ran to her aid, grabbing the rope we pulled it and the four sides of the box flopped open. Some of the sand turned into dust so we didn't get to see right away. After some coughing the dust slowly faded, we all opened our eyes and saw something that made our jaws drop.
"Hey there sunshine, did you miss me?"
We all looked at Stella, her mouth was open and her eyes widened. She didn't move for a few seconds and then a smile landed down on her face, she looked like she was about to cry.
"B-BRANDON?" Stella was stunned, we all were. "BRANDON?"
"Hey Stella." Brandon took a step and walked over to Stella.
We got up and backed away, Stella didn't move at all. It was like her feet were glued to the ground, her eyes were still teary but no tears fell.
BRANDON POV
Once I reached Stella I touched her cheek, I felt her body tingle a bit. She didn't say anything and just stared at me, I smiled at her and flicked her hair. Stella just looked so beautiful under the sun, her skin radiated and it made me feel so alive.
"Surprise" I lifted her chin and gave her another smile. Stella remained quiet, it was adorable. "So, care to say anything?" I asked.
She blinked twice and it seemed like she got her senses back.
"Brandon? How did you.. You told me you were going on a mission today, what's with all this?" Stella was still surprised, I chuckled a bit and wrapped my hands around her waist.
"I had to tell you that so you would go here." I then lifted my hand to show her the pendant.
"Brandon!" her eyes widened again.
"Stella, my sweet Stella. Would you do me the honor in being my date to the Red Fountain Grand Ball?" I looked at her and she was still surprise, Stella is just so adorable.
"Oh Brandon.." Stella looked at me and smiled. "OFCOURSE I WILL SNUKOOMS!" she then tackled me for a hug and I lost my balance. I looked at her and landed a peck on her lips, Stella smiled at me and hugged me again "Brandon you sweatheart!"
I looked up and saw the rest of the Winx, they were all smiling down at me. Layla gave me a thumbs up and I gave her one too.
MUSA POV
The girls and I giggled at the sight, Brandon sucessfully asked Stella out with a bang. It was so sweet!
"Yo Brandon!" a voice from a distance shouted.
We all looked to see the other specialists running towards us, they were all smiling. Sky, Timmy, Nabu, and Helia were all present. But Riven was nowhere to be found again, I couldn't help but be a bit dispointed again. We really are done, I just couldn't believe it.
"By the look of things it seems like you succeded." chuckled Nabu.
"Yeah" Brandon scratched the back of his head and laughed.
The guys helped Stella and Brandon up and then patted his back, Stella ran to us with a bright face.
"Oh girls! I just love it!" Stella squeeled.
We laughed and hugged Stella.
"So girls, you know what happens next right?" said Sky.
"Right, but how can we enjoy the beach? We didn't get to bring our baiting suits." Bloom crossed her arms.
"All taken care of." Timmy was holding shopping bags.
"OHHH!" Stella ran and took the bags from Timmy. She opened the bags and rummaged the contents. "You guys really know your girls!" Stella then took the baiting suits out and tossed us one.
"Well.." Brandon raised his hands.
"You girls should get changed, we'll wait for you to finish and then leave after a few minutes." Nabu pointed to a tent.
We all looked at each other and smiled, this day was just getting better by the min.
After getting changed I saw the others. Stella and Brandon were together, Layla and Flora were playing on the sand, Bloom was talking to Sky and Nabu, Tecna was helping Timmy with some kind of tracker, and Helia was by a palm tree.
"Hey, Musa!" wave Layla.
I ran to her and sat next to Flora, they were making a sand castle. I looked around again, Stella kissed Brandon good bye and headed to where Bloom was; Timmy and Tecna stood up and also walked towards Bloom, Helia was still by the palm tree.
Bloom, Stella, and Tecna said their good byes and went running to us.
FLORA POV
I nugged Layla and signaled her towards Nabu, she then nodded and we stood up.
"Musa, Layla and I will just say bye to Nabu." I gave Musa a smile and she nodded.
We passed by a running Bloom, Stella, and Tecna. They were headed to join Musa. I know Musa is disapointed, Riven wasn't here with the guys. So I wanted to ask Nabu about him, I just know he was hiding something.
We reached Nabu who was still with Brandon.
"Nabu!" exclaimed Layla.
"My sweet Layla!" Nabu opened his arms to invite Layla for a hug.
"I missed you!" Layla accepted and hugged him.
"As do I, did you come here to say good bye?" asked Nabu.
"Yes, but Flora and I also wanted to ask you something." Layla looked at me and nodded.
Nabu turned to Brandon and then looked back at us. "What is it?" He asked.
"It's about Riven, can you tell us where he is?" I looked at Nabu who's face suddenly changed, he looked nervous.
"Riven? Well.. He isn't here, he's in Red Fountain." said Nabu trying to not make eye contact.
I could feel that he's lying, I looked at Layla and gave her a disapointed look. She got the message right away, she then turned to Nabu.
"Nabu, can you please tell us the truth? You're not that good at lying." Layla placed her hand on her waist and pouted.
"Oh Layla.. I'm sorry, but.. I can't say anything." said Nabu.
"Why? Are you guys hiding something from us? Why can't you tell us?" Layla was fustrated.
"Layla please.." Nabu looked to his right and saw Helia walking towards us. "Helia! What are you doing here? Go back.." Nabu looked a bit worried.
I looked at Helia and tugged on his shirt, he also knew something. I wanted to know, Musa is having a hard time and I want to help her.
"Helia.." I said.
He looked back at me and smiled "Yes, Flora?" he answered back.
"What's going on? Can you please tell me?" I asked and let go of his shirt.
"Flora, in time you will know. Please don't worry and smile for me, everything will be ok soon. Trust me." said Helia.
"But.." Helia then took me into his arms. I could her his heart, and then I knew everything will be ok.
"Ugh! Helia! why'd you leave me?" I heard a guy behind me, it was a familiar voice.
I broke free from Helia's arms and looked back, I saw a guy with magenta hair all geled up. Riven was here.
"Aw man! Why'd you come here as well?" Nabu looked a bit irratated.
"What? I got bored man." Riven smirked.
"She'll see you! Then what? I told you to listen to me!" shouted Nabu.
I looked at Riven and then back at Helia, they were all very uneasy.
"Riven" I said.
Riven looked at me "What?" he said.
"Where have you been?" I asked.
He didn't say anything, Riven looked away.
"Go back Riven, if she sees you then everything will just fail." said Nabu.
"Yeah, I'll be there in a while. I just need to say good bye the Flora." said Helia.
Riven scoffed but he didn't move at all.
"FLORA!" I heard Musa shouting in the background. I looked and saw her running towards me.
"FLORAAA! Bloom needs to talk to you!" Musa ran faster.
"Musa! Go back! I'll be there in a sec!" I shouted back.
Musa was still running, I panicked. I looked at the guys and they saw Musa, except for Riven, they started to push him so that he'll leave. But that just got him mad, he looked at them with cold angry eyes. But he noticed Musa right away, Riven froze and stared.
MUSA POV
I was still running to Flora, I just wanted to grab her and Layla to us. We were having so much fun, they were missing out.
"Flora!" I yelled.
As I got near I saw that they were with Brandon, Helia, Nabu, and... RIVEN? I was shocked, I didn't know what to do. What was he doing here? Why is he here? What's going on?
I was still running, each step I took made me my heart ache. I tried to stop, but as I took another step to halt my foot suddenly slipped. My ankle got twisted and I was about to fall, I closed my eyes and waited to feel the sand... But instead I felt someone catch me. I opened my eyes and I saw a guy smiling down at me, he had shoulder lenght brown hair and beautiful hazel brown eyes.
"You ok miss?" he asked.
"Uhhmm... Yeah, thank you.. For catching me." I said.
He placed me down and I tried to stand up, but I felt a sting on my ankle. I fell on my knees, but the guy manage to support me again.
"Thanks" I said again.
"I'll take you to the medics, ok?" he then scooped me up and carried me.
"No, no... I'm fine. I can walk this out" I tried to get down but I could feel the pain again.
"Don't worry, you'll be better soon." he said. "I'm Beat by the way."
"Oh, I'm Musa." I shyly said.
"Nice name." Beat smiled.
I blushed and looked back at my friends, I saw Riven looking a bit annoyed.
When we reached the medics area Beat placed me down by the bed and then sat next to me, I couldn't look at him staright because I was to embarassed.
"Hey, you ok?" Beat asked.
I flinched. "Yeah, just a bit... Dizzy." I didn't lie, the heat got to me.
"Musa right? I think I heard of you somewhere." he smiled at me again.
"Oh.. Really?" I couldn't look at him.
"By any chance, are you from Melody?" he asked.
"Yeah, how'd you know?" this time I looked at him, how did he know?
"So your Princess Musa? Your dad was suppose to be King but he left his kingdom to be with your mom?" he stood up and looked excited.
"Well.. Yes, how do you know this?" I gave him a confused look.
"You're one of the greatest singers here in magix, my band and I really idolize you. And we heard a lot of stories about you. Princess Musa, huh? Well it's an honor to meet you" Beat bowed and chuckled.
"That's not really necessary" I giggled. "I may be a princess but it's just by blood, since you know the story I won't have to explain myself."
"Yeah, but it's still an honor." Beat sat down again. "You're still the princess and-"
The nurse entered the tent "Hello, how may I help you?"
I looked at her and then at my ankle, she then looked and got the messege right away. The nurse went to the medicine cabinet and got some bandages, she then walked towards me and rubbed my ankle. I felt a bit of pain, I closed my eyes and then the pain suddenly disapeared.
"That should do the trick, I suggest you walk a bit. Your ankle is a bit strained but it will heal by tomorrow, you're really lucky." the nurse gathered her things and placed them back in the cabinet.
"Really? That's a relief, thank you so much." I smiled at her and stood up.
"You're welcome, take it easy ok?" the nurse then left the tent.
"So, need help for a while?" asked Beat.
"Sure." I quietly said.
Beat stood next to me and offered his shoulder so that I could use it for support, I placed my hand on it and tried to walk. I could feel a bit of pain but I was walking, we left the tent and I saw the girls.
"Musa! Are you ok? What happend?" asked Tecna.
"How are you? Do you want to go back to the dorm?" asked Bloom.
"I'm ok girls, Beat here helped me and the nurse said I'll be ok by tomorrow. I just need to walk a bit." I smiled at them, I shoudn't worry them today. We were having a great time.
"Well.. We'll join you then!" said Stella as she grabbed me away from Beat.
I looked at him and smiled, he was just looking at my friends.
"Thank you for taking care of our Musa" said Flora and then shook his hand.
"No problem" chuckled Beat. "I'll just see you later, Musa." Beat waved at me and left.
I couldn't help but feel bad, it's like I ditched him.
"So..." Stella grinned.
I knew where this was going. "Ohhh no Stella! Beat just helped me and there is nothing going on, ok?" Stella was the type to make small things a big deal.
"If you say so" Stella laughed and handed me to Flora.
I looked at Flora who was a bit sad, I stood up straight and gave her a smile. I didn't want her to think that anything bad, today's a great day.
"Musa.." said Flora.
"Flo, don't worry. I'm fine, I just tripped on something. Where'd the guys go?" I just needed to stay positive.
"Well, they left. Riven got pissed so they had to get him out of here, he might cause a fight." Flora then looked away.
"Oh, ok then. Let's go and have some fun then!" my heart ached, what was going on? Did Riven want me back? I was really confused.
"But, Musa. What about Riven? Are you two ok? I'm getting really worried." Flora looked at me and her eye's were full of disapointment.
I sighed. "Flo, everythings fine. Riven just got jealous, I'll call him later to fix things. But right now we should enjoy ourselves, so don't worry about it." I really hate lying, but I wasn't ready to open up yet.
"Ok Musa, just remember ok? I'm here for you." Flora was really disapointed, but she knew me. She knew I wasn't ready.
"I know Flo, thanks." I hugged her and we walked to the other girls who were running around playing by the shore.
I was walking behind Flora, her shoulder was my support. I looked up and saw the orange sky, it was really beatiful. I then saw the sun set, I gave out a quiet sigh. "Riven" I whispered.
RIVEN POV
"Dammit!" I pounded the walls.
"I told you to go back, right?" Nabu yelled.
"You just had to follow me?" said Helia.
"Everything was going well Riven!" shouted Brandon.
"Were trying to help you but you're being stubborn! If you want things to be ok listen to us!" Sky said furiously.
I told the guys about Musa, and they told me that they would help me but I needed to hide from Musa for a while. It wasn't easy for me, I had to see her.
"SHUT UP! I KNOW WHAT I DID! DON'T YOU GUYS THINK IT WAS HARD FOR ME? AND AFTER TODAY I JUST WANT HER BACK! THAT GUY, WHO THE HELL WAS HE?" I couldn't control my anger, Musa is everything to me. Seeing her in another mans arms just made me snap, I wanted to go in the tent but the guys manage to drag me away.
"Riven, everything will be back to normal. Just listen to us! And that guy must've just helped her; don't forget Riven, Musa tripped because of you!" said Nabu. He patted my back "Just listen, ok?"
"Just leave me alone!" I grabbed my keys and stormed out the door. I had to get away, I need to think.
I rode my leva bike, I didn't care where I was headed. I just needed to get away from everything, I needed Musa.
My anger brought me to Alfea, it was really strange. I looked at the window where Musa's room is, I walked closer and climbed a tree. I saw shadows, the girls must be in the room. I then saw the balcony door open, there I saw a beautiful music fairy. My heart beated fast, I tried to get closer without entering Alfea. I looked at her, she was so beautiful. Her eye's looked swollen, was she crying?
I couldn't get closer, I put Musa in too much pain. "Oh my Musa, I'm really sorry." I whispered. Musa was looking at the sky, God,her white skin just glowed under the moon. I smiled, but then Musa turned her attention to where I was. I saw her eyes widened, I back off and fell form the tree. I ran to my leva bike and drove off.
