The Third Chapter: Explanations?
Previously:
"I'm home" Flora shouted.
"Come Flora come! We have visitors!" Rose came running up to her and grabbed her hand pulling her towards the dinning room.
Flora laughed, "Ok, I'm coming who could it -"
Flora looked up slightly giggling, and then stopped as though time had stopped. She stared at them with a small smile. They stared at her. Both the winx and specialist had the same word on there mind. Explaination…
Her eyes turned away from them and asked very quietly "Well… I'm guessing you guys want some explanations."
They all nodded…Standing in awkward silence…
Tecna POV
"Milady dinner is served." The maid bowed.
"Thank you." Flora paused, "I'll explain over dinner when you eat, you guys look hungry."
We walked into a huge dinning room filled with crystals and marble and silver. Flora sat at the head of the table with the guys on the right and the girls on the left. The table was set elegantly with more than one utensil of each and china-wear. The servers placed the appetizer dish on front of them and took Flora's dinning set away.
"I already ate before coming here" she stated. She placed her elbows on the table; hands folded and sat her chin on top. She stared at them and breaking the silence she asked, "What would you like to drink?"
Hmm… I need something that should give off a clue… a-ha! Alcohol!
Rose asked for chocolate milk, the girls asked for soda, but Tecna insisted she wanted a wine, the guys then decided to drink a light beer. Flora nodded, "Tecna, what kind of wine would you like?"
"I'm not sure, which do you think is best for this meal?" Very few are trained to know the exact wines that should be given…
"Hmm… A Petrus Pomeral 1998 is good"
She fell into my trap, so she's some kind of Aristocrats daughter who I've never heard of.
"That's an exhalent choice, milady" the maid come back with the red wine bottle in hand and poured. Both, Flora's and My glass, "Thank you."
Both the fairies and the heroes looked at them.
"Here in Linphea you're able to drink light alcoholic beverages at the age of 16." Flora explained.
"Flo, how did you know what kind of wine to get?" Musa asked, "I remember when I went into this kind of … training."
"Like you said: training."
"So, Flora, when were you going to tell us about all this… luxury, you were hiding?" Stella took a bite of her shrimp cocktail… silence. I can tell Stella was getting impatient.
"I'm not hiding, I guess you could say my parents are more or less aristocrats." They nodded.
"Linphea is sure different than we pictured it." I sipped my glass.
"This South City, where we are, is more suburban than North City, Linphea. What we know of Linphea are the small famous towns that are known to be committed to nature who still have the household necessities like a washer/dryer and dishwasher, running water, electricity etc. they just don't allow the newest technology in that easily."
The serves came out and took the appetizer plate only to be replaced by the main dish.
"So, Prince Julius huh?" Stella looked at her, "Good choice Flora. A hottie hunk-a-licious. "
I glanced over towards Flora who has frozen; it looks like she was in deep thought, was she trying to think of an excuse, I mean, Helia is here.
"That guy made a fool out of me!" Sky slammed his bear glass down
"Chilax, Sky. It happened to me too." Nabu said.
"But he was amazing!" Layla sweaked.
"And so hot!" Stella shouted
Bloom shook her head, "Stella, You have a boyfriend."
"Right! Sorry, shnokums."
"hahaha, its ok, honey bear."
"So. Who is this Prince Julius?" Helia gritted his teeth very lightly… was he… Jealous? That broke up. More like. He broke up with her. But still, he shouldn't hold a grudge.
Flora was silent the whole time; she looked like she was holding in something and so she didn't let out a small giggle in stead she smirked. "Jealous I see?"
They went silent.
Not because of Flora's comeback. Ok maybe a little but the way she said it with arrogance. Like she was … hm.
It's just that, Flora never does that.
Still Silent
Flora let another giggle to break the quiet atmosphere.
"You don't have to worry, Julius and I are not together and I can never imagine us together, he's just… a really good friend." She shrugged her soldiers and then smiled, "Any more questions, I know I didn't explain the whole story, but there is a time and place for that to happen, just not right now…. Ok. Why do you keep staring? Let's start a conversation at some point ok…?"
Normal POV
"Prince Julius is amazing fighter!" Layla moved her hands as the server lifter her finished plate of food only to have a warm chocolate cake to replace the spot. "No offence, I thought Red Fountain was amazing, but now. Knowing Linpheans can fight like that… its just wow!"
"I know! And I saw were he played the piano. I know that only one of the instruments he plays; I want to here the rest." Musa said while picking up a piece of dessert, "that school is filled with possibly everything."
"I think your hurting their 'man pride' guys." Flora said. The girls just laughed while the guys puffed, hn-d, and pouted.
"Flo did you go to the school?" Tecna asked, she had wanted to get into that school as a second choice to Alfea.
"Ah… I did, but I left to go to Alfea." Flora looked into her wine glass, she had a sad glint in her eyes, and the once bright emerald orbs have dulled. Yes, why did you leave? If my memory serves me right, then that school-no. Academy has higher status...
"Why did you leave?" Riven asked he looked sincere, which surprised them all, but they got over it quickly wanting to hear Flora's Answer. Despite the different personalities, they both had this brother-sister thing going on, which not many knew about.
She was quiet for a minute and whispered, "For reasons…"
"Like…" Stella wanted Flora to continue, it was like she was learning a whole knew person. She was hiding her words, like Stella has.
"I just had to leave. I couldn't stay, needed a new environment." Flora looked up to her friends and smiled away her frown, "But that's not important. I'm going to show you around South City, my way."
They knew she was changing the subject. But nonetheless, Bloom helped and continued, "Yes we should! We always go traveling because we HAVE to, with the Trix to Darker, and Baltor."
Musa stood up with the drink in hand and shouted, "Yeah!"
"I agree, after all that butt kicking we deserve a vacation!" Stella yelled after and clinked with Musa glass.
"Even though we're graduating in what? approximately five months." Tecna questioned with an eye brow raised.
"Yes!" The girls all yelled. Flora giggled, "sorry, I'm feeling giggly today, I'm happy you came, you brightened my day."
Bloom raised her glass along with the other girls and shouted, "To the winx!"
"To the most beautiful fairies." Stella sipped her glass.
"The most intelligent." Tecna spun her wine and took the last remaining sip.
"the most talented!" Musa danced her for a second then took a gulp.
"the best fighters!" Layla did a back hand stand and landed with her cup in hand she took a sip.
"Hahaha. You should keep that for the guys." Flora raised her glass, "to friendship. To us." And took her last swig of wine.
"Aww" the girls went into a huge hug.
"I don't want to be rude girls-" Sky began; he was feeling left out, like all the other red fountain heroes, they were ignored for another good minute.
"Sorry," Bloom turned her head, "Girl moment." and turned her head back.
"We know it's just-" Riven was cut off.
"Just shut it Riven, we want our moment to last!" Stella shouted.
"Don't be that mean." Musa whispered. The giggled. The Alfea fairies were now walking across the hall to the living room sitting big circle whispering and laughing. Leaving the guys there bewildered.
"Well. I sat that went great!" Nabu sighed.
"Did you see how Flora reacted when we asked why she left the school?" Timmy pushed his glasses up.
"She keeps avoiding you Helia" Riven teased, "maybe she's got someone already."
"I know I'm a pacifist. So I'll ask you a question." Helia forced a smile upon his face.
"Ok…" Riven replied.
"Are you stupid? Because this is the second time you've stated the complete obvious." Helia tried to keep his voice from sounding angry, and tried to keep his hands to his side, he wanted to to strangle him.
"And she changed the subject." Brandon added. He took the last bite of his chocolate cake. "Hmm. This is delicious; I'm going to have to ask Flora for the recipe."
The guys stared. Then laughed, Sky composed himself first and said, "Lets go see what the girls are up to." He turned towards the butler, "Tell your cook it was delicious. Thank you."
In the Living room, more like HUGE living room, the girls were so caught up in their conversation that the they didn't know the specialists were in there who then sat on the couches carefully eavesdropping on the conversation.
"Ah~~ so Flora, you and the Prince are an item eh?" Stella taunted.
"No. we're not together."
"Are you sure Flora, the way he kissed your cheek…?" Musa continued.
"No. it was simply out of friendship."
"And you kissed his check back…" Layla took over now.
"It was a thank you kiss." Flora closed her eyes and rubbed the bridged of her nose. She shook her head.
"Are you sure, not to date I quote from Stella 'A hottie hunk-a-licious'" Bloom teased. Flora knowing that they were trying to get her spill said, "You guys want info right?"
"YES!" they all yelled.
"Ok." Flora took a breath. "He's only a really good guy friend. There is no love in this friendship. I love him as a…you can say older brother. Someone for support and talk to… we're…. childhood friends. And I wouldn't date him because I can't."
They stared… "You want his personal information?" … They nodded.
"He goes to the Royal Academy of Linphea, he's a total player but he doesn't miss-treat women in that way, he respects them. He is cold, arrogant, mysterious and tough, but only his close friends know that he can be such a softie and a romantic. He's the first in line, heir, to the crown Prince of Linphea. Has a little brother and little sister, who is never around. He's talented in everything you could put in front of him and as you know he's tall and handsome, doesn't like to lose, at anything…and yeah…"
"He sounds like a keeper!" Stella whispered, laughing at that comment, the guys continued to keep their ears on the conversation.
"You said you can't date him why?" Tecna looked at Flora along with Layla, Musa, Bloom and Stella.
"I'll tell you but you can't tell anyone." Flora told them and so they all leaned into the circle. The specialists ears were trying to grab a hold on Flora's words but couldn't.
"It's because I already have someone." Flora whispered quieter than whispering.
Gasp!
"Really? Who? Is he cute? What about his status? How about personality?" Stella kept on throwing in questions.
"That's for me to know and you… to NEVER find out." Flora stood up. Well... it's late and we should all retire to our rooms. I'll see you guys in the morning. we have a big day ahead of us. Sleep is what we need." and walked away. They all stared at her retreating form.
"Well, I agree with Flora. Let's get some beauty sleep shall we darlings?" Stella yawned and headed for the door with Layla, Musa, Bloom and Tecna following behind.
...
"Do we have a stink around us?" Riven stretched out onto the couch started to sniff is arms to check.
"I think we do." Sky muttered. He closed his eyes and rubbed the side of his temple. This was just a little frustrating.
"TWICE!" Riven shouted.
"Its ok…" Nabu reassured.
"Really? Because if I recall correctly, Layla was all over Prince Julius." Riven retorted. He was angry he would admit, but he will never say 'I'm jealous'.
"Ok. Ok. Lets just get some sleep. Flora did saw we have a big day." Helia got up and headed for the stairs, along with the rest of them.
"I think I'm going to take a shower, you know just in case." Riven said to know one in particular. Laughter
"Though we do not have the smell. We all are in need of one." Timmy Justified. The nodded.
Flora POV
After taking a nice shower I filled the bath up, with soaps and sat in the warm water. I leaned back and rested my head on the rim of the tub closing my eyes and thinking, everything that happened today. I visited the palace, cried my heart out, a surprise visit from my friends, question which I reluctantly answered, and I told them I had someone! I do. But I don't. Well. He is my fiancé and we do have feelings but that was a long time ago… and I'm too scared to face him now, Coward. That's what I am. I hit the back of my head against the rim.
"Stupid, Stupid, Stupid."
I hopped out of the bath pulled on my night gown and walked over to my desk. Sitting there was a huge book and an envelope. Nobody is supposed to see this, especially them. I picked up the items, put the envelope in the book pages and placed the book into shelf, camouflaging it. We'll dell with that problem later, now all I have to do is get a good night sleep….
Helia POV
Sighing for what could be the hundredth time, I lay in bed with my arms crossed and tucked under my head, with my eyes looking up to the ceiling while the darkness entangled my form. Why did I leave her? Why did I listen to my fathers order? This is love right? If not, then what is the tugging pain in my chest? It feels like my heart is being eaten. Just hearing those words, "It's because I already have someone."
I closed my eyes and let the sleep consume my mind.
A figure stood, covered in darkness's layers looking out into the window. Lightning stroked and thunder hit like no end. It was raining hard with powerful blows from wind. Sitting across was another figure looking into his book. It was silent until the sitting figure glanced up from his book and said, "I heard Flora's back."
"You heard correctly, but give her sometime, what happened back then was very traumatizing for her. She may act tough, but she still a little girl at heart." The standing stature continued to stare outside.
"I know." he smiled, remembering all there memories he shared with Flora.
"I'll let you know when it's a good time to approach my little sister, but please for the meantime, don't do anything rash."
"Of course Julius." He smirked into his book.
"Good to hear Garnia."
Everyone slept letting Sleep's spell sweep over them. For Flora, she wouldn't know the event of tomorrow will hit her with everything it's got. Will Garnia, leave flora unharmed? How does Helia feel about her special someone? Is everything Flora said to them a lie? Or it the truth? If it's a lie, then what is she hiding? As for truth, that will come to Flora at the worst possible moment….
