Chapter 10
(Aisha's POV)
-2 weeks later-
Flora still hasn't stopped crying. She won't eat, she won't drink and she won't sleep. She's cutting a lot now and all of us know it. We haven't told anyone else. She's making no attempt to hide it either. "Flo are you okay?" I ask the pale Flora as she walks into the living room. It's late at night. Her face is stained with tears.
"Y-yeah." She says weakly. Then the worst thing happens. She collapses. Helia has come several times, well he's here every day we have to get the guys to get rid of him otherwise he'd be living here.
"Girls!" I shout probably waking them all up but that's what I need to do.
"This better be- oh my god!" Musa says seeing Flora.
"Shit!" Stella says walking out and seeing Flora. I crouch down next to the unconscious Flora.
"I'm going to call Helia, when she wakes up they can sort this out." Bloom says getting up. We all nod in agreement. After all that is defiantly the best thing to do by now. We should of done it at first but e were too worried about what Flora would do so we didn't.
"If Flora continues like this she's not going to last much longer." Tecna points out. It's not long before our dorm door swings open to reveal a very worried Helia. By now Flora is thrashing around on the floor, in fear. She screams before waking up crying.
"Flora are you okay?" Musa asks her putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Girls I think we should go." Stella says. All of us excluding Flora who's not listening as she's crying so much nod in agreement and leave. I hope they sort things out, none of us can stand to see Flora like this.
(Helia's POV)
It breaks my heart to see Flora like this, and worst of all it's because of me! I carefully pick her up bridal style holding her close to my chest and I can tell she's surprised. "It's okay my flower." I whisper in her ear softly. She nuzzles her head into my chest crying. I carry her to her room.
"H-H-Helia." She stutter as I lay her down carefully on her bed. I nod laying down next to her.
"What happened?" I ask her talking about what she saw when she was unconscious. She cries even more. I wrap my arms around her tiny waist and pull her close to me. I kiss her lips gently before pulling apart and looking into her eyes. "Flora I love you and only you, after I got over the shock I pushed Krystal away but it was too late you'd already gone." I explain. She wipes her tears away.
"Really?" She asks. I nod pulling her even closer. That's when I see all the cuts and scars on her wrists.
"My flower princess why have you cut yourself?" I ask her picking her wrists. I'm about to heal them when she pulls away.
"If you're going to heal them wait until tomorrow." She tells me. I smile warmly at her and nod. After all I don't want to push her, especially when she's like this.
"Now can you tell me what your nightmare was about?" I ask her softly as I gently stroke her hair. She turns away. I gently use my finger to move her head back so she's facing me once again.
"The first one before the wedding I was on Planet Flurn, all I could see was darkness but I could feel a burning sensation and then I heard Aisha scream my name, I don't now if she was kidnapped or found me." She says as tears start running down her face, I kiss them away.
"Shhhh, my flower, it's okay." I assure her as I softly stroke her hair. It's quite late. A few more tears run down her face which I kiss away swiftly.
"Just then I saw him, he-he's coming. He'll b-be here n-n-not long after midnight." Flora cries burying her head into my chest. It won't be long until midnight. I quickly text Nabu telling him to come over and that Ralix might be coming for Aisha and Flora and that he'll be here after midnight.
"Shhh my flower, go to sleep, I'm staying here with you, don't worry." I whisper to her gently rocking her back and forth.
"No, what about when Ralix comes?" She asks me scared.
"I'll try my hardest to keep you safe and if I can't I know where you'll be and I'll go straight there and find you." I assure her. For once she relaxes. She rests her head on my chest as I gently rock her.
"Helia?" She asks sleepily. I smile.
"Yes my flower princess?" I ask her causing her to smile.
"I love you Helia." She tells me before nuzzling her head into my chest.
"I love you too Flora." I reply kissing her forehead softly, she smiles before falling asleep in my arms. I carefully move her into her bed pulling the duvet over her. Her bedroom door swings wide open after I do.
"I told Aisha he should be here soon." Nabu says wlking in with Aisha. I hold a finger to my lips to get them to be quiet.
"Thank God you to have worked things out otherwise she wouldn't of survived much longer like that." Aisha says. I can't help but feel sad. It's because of me she was like that. God I'm so angry at myself right now!
"Oh am I interrupting something?" A male voice asks, one that I know. I turn to see Ralix. I smirk.
"Oh, not at all we were just talking." I assure him acting casual. He looks at me shocked. I seize my chance and use my magic to trap him but unfortunately he escapes very easily.
"You bastard." He growls. I roll my eyes. Yeah because he can really say that. If you can't tell I am being sarcastic. Aisha starts to transform but she isn't fast enough. Ralix is quick to react to what is going on and quickly creates a dark orb and shoots it towards Aisha knocking her unconscious. He then shoots two more.
"Why did you do that?" Nabu asks him kneeling over Aisha but then a dark orb hits him and he's unconscious as well. Before I can react one hits me. I am barely able to keep my eyes open, I see him fling Aisha over his shoulder and pick up Flora before disappearing through the portal. I use my magic to heal myself before I go unconscious then heal Nabu.
"Nabu you okay?" I ask.
"Where's Aisha?" He asks me. I frown.
"He's got her, and Flora we need to get the ship we had last time, the bigger one from Red Fountain so we can get them." I tell him. He nods in agreement then teleports us there.
We run don the dark, empty corridors in Red Fountain. I knock on my Uncle's door. It's not long before it swings open. "e need the big ship." I tell him as he pens the door.
"Whatever for?" He asks.
"Ralix has Aisha and Flora on Planet Flurn." Nabu replies before I can.
"Follow me." Saladin tell us. We follow him to where we keep the ships. We enter the larger ship.
"We already know the controls." I tell him confused and I can tell Nabu is as well.
"It's been upgraded, it's slower now but once it's visited a place once it can teleport there, luckily someone needed to go to Planet Flurn after the upgrade so it can teleport there as the ship but it'll be a three day trip back to Alfea." Saladin explains.
"Okay that should make it easier, at least we'll find them faster." Nabu says. I nod in agreement. Saladin shows us all the controls then we're off. I hope they're not getting hurt.
We arrive on Planet Flurn. It's horrible as always, dark and depressing. Well it's planet is mainly shape shifters and darkness.
(Flora's POV)
I wake up feeling cold. I look at the ceiling which is rock. "Flora thank God you're awake." I hear Aisha say. I turn to see her.
"When did you wake up?" Is the first thing I ask. I know where we are. It's he same place I see in my nightmares, my visions. The same place tha haunts me. The same place I was last time with Ralix and no he's got me again but it's worst he's got Aisha as well.
"Only a few minuets ago." Aisha replies crawling over to me.
"Do you think they'll come to find us?" I can't help but ask as a single tear runs down my face. Aisha wraps an arm around me allowing me to rest my weak head on her shoulder.
"Of course they will, you know what Nabu and Helia are like." Aisha assures me. I can't help but smile weakly.
"I hope you're right." I tell her. I feel a firm hand around my wrist and I get pulled up only to get pushed harshly on the ground, something around my wrist tightly stopping me from using my magic. Honestly I'm too weak to use it anyway so it doesn't make a difference but it's hurting my wrist a lot especially with all the cuts on my wrists.
"Stop it can't you see it's hurting her?" Aisha yells mad. I look to see she has one of each of her wrists but they're not on tightly. Ralix smirks.
"I know." He laughs putting one on my other wrists. He kicks my side causing me to cry out weakly in pain. Aisha starts to crawl quietly towards me but he turns around and ties her wrists to the wall. He gives me a kick as he leaves. I give another cry of pain as I watch him leave.
"Flo are you okay?" Aisha asks me concerned about me. I don't answer her. "Flora seriously are you okay, you're scaring me." Aisha says getting stressed. I lift my head up to look at her. I nod weakly before crawling over to her.
"I-I'm ok-okay." I stutter.
"Flo are you sure?" Aisha asks me still worried about me. I nod weakly.
"Well you defiantly won't be for long." A male voice says.
"I thought you left!" Aisha snaps turning to Ralix who stands at the only entrance and exit. He just laughs.
"I just stood out there so I could see if you girls were planning anything, obviously not she's too weak and you're not going anywhere." He says to Aisha as if I can't hear them.
"I I can a-assure you that some-someone will come for us." I say stuttering. Shaking as the words escape my mouth. He laughs.
"Like who, the guy who left you for someone else at your own wedding? Your friends that don't even know you're gone?" He asks us, well it's more directed at me this time.
"You don't know them they are coming!" Aisha shouts. He creates a dark orb and aims it at me.
"Here are the rules." He says sternly to her as the dark orb hits me. I feel sick, like I'm going to pass out.
"It was me who did something wrong." Aisha mumbles sadly as I just got hurt because of her. It's not her fault though, she didn't ask for it to happen, she didn't know it would happen. I turn to Ralix to hear his rules.
