Chapter 3
(Flora's POV)

I play the guitar and sing.

(Warrior- Demi Lovato)

This is a story that I have never told
I gotta get this off my chest to let it go
I need to take back the light inside you stole
You're a criminal
And you steal like you're a pro

All the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I was broken and bruised

Now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

Out of the ashes, I'm burning like a fire
You can save your apologies, you're nothing but a liar
I've got shame, I've got scars
That I will never show
I'm a survivor
In more ways than you know

'Cause all the pain and the truth
I wear like a battle wound
So ashamed, so confused
I'm not broken or bruised

'Cause now I'm a warrior
Now I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me

There's a part of me I can't get back
A little girl grew up too fast
All it took was once, I'll never be the same
Now I'm taking back my life today
Nothing left that you can say
'Cause you were never gonna take the blame anyway

Now I'm a warrior
I've got thicker skin
I'm a warrior
I'm stronger than I've ever been
And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in
I'm a warrior
And you can never hurt me again

No oh yeah yeah

You can never hurt me again

I hear clapping. I turn to see Helia staring at me. He's leaning on a tree smiling. "What?" I ask him. I get to my feet but I'm overcome by a sudden dizziness. "Come on let me take you to my house you need to rest." He says as he picks me up before I fall. "You live on Linphea?" I ask him weakly. "Yeah." He replies as he walks. We arrive at a descent size house slightly smaller then the size of the girl's house. He opens the door and carefully takes me in. I see a woman with pale skin dark eyes and long blue hair. I can see where he got his skin and hair from. Helia gently lays me down on the sofa before going and talking to his mother. A young boy walks out with another young girl. The boy has dark black hair and slightly tan skin with blue eyes, the girl has short blue hair, blue eyes and tan skin. The look like toddlers. They stop in front of me. They looks confused. I laugh. I sit up slowly and look at them. "Who are you?" The boy asks. "I'm Flora." I reply. "What are your names?" I ask them. "I'm Floss and this is my twin brother Ukko." The girl says. I smile at them. "So you both come from Linphea?" I ask. They nod. I pick them both up and sit them next to me. "Want to see a trick?" I ask. They both nod. "Petal shower." I say as petals rain down on us. "What the-?" I hear a voice. "OH sorry." I apologize taking back all the petals in my hand and they disappear. I turn to face a boy slightly younger, two years I'd guess, younger then Helia. He has long hair but it's black, blue eyes and pale skin. "Who are you?" He asks. "Flora." I say. "We're going to play upstairs Dolar." Floss tells him. "And I take it you're Dolar?" I ask. He nods. "No offence but why are you here?" He asks. "Helia." I answer surprising him. "Are you coming with us?" Ukko asks. I kneel down next to him. "Maybe later." I say smiling. They run off. Helia walks in. "I see you've met everyone." Helia laughs. "Apart from your father work I assume?" I ask. "Is she your girlfriend?" Dolar asks him. We both turn bright red. "No." He says. "But you want her to be?" Dolar pushes. "Shut up!" Helia says embarrassed causing me to blush and giggle. I suddenly get a feeling. My eyes glow green before I run out. "Miele!" I tell Helia. He runs after me knowing last time I was right. "Help!" I hear Ukko scream from above us. I look up to see the twins hanging on to the windowsill for dear life. "Flora enchantix!" I yell as I transform. I fly up grabbing them and putting them down on the ground before I'm hit by dark magic in my back. I fall to the ground. "Flora!" Helia says helping me up. I look to see three witches. I've heard of them. Icy, Darcy and Stormy. I've fought them before. The Trix! I fly up to face them. I glare at them. They've done enough to me already throughout my life and they don't need to do any more! I wish they could just leave me alone!
I get ready to fight. "Before you fight us you need to make a choice." Darcy laughs. I look up at them not loosing my focus. "Fight us or save your darling sister Miele!" Icy laughs. I look behind them to see Miele crying tied up. They have her raised as high as us. "Miele!" I scream. I fly and grab her as they drop her. She falls into the lake. I dive under after her and I can still hear everything above the lake. "Flora!" I hear Helia yell. "Dolar get ready." Helia says to his brother obviously angry. I fly up with Miele in my arms. "It'll take more then that to end me!" I yell flying back to where I was. I carefully put Miele on the ground. Now I'm angry! Very angry. I glow bright green. "Giant vines!" I say trapping them. "Petal storm!" I say throwing petals at them. "Lilac vortex." I say and they get knocked. "Be careful what you do and say Trix." I tell them. "We'll get you for this flower fairy!" Icy screams at me before they leave. "Miele are you okay?" I ask her. She nods. "Lets get you home." I say. I teleport us their. Heli, Dolar, Ukko and Floss decide to come as well. "Whoa I thought you said you were taking her home?" Dolar asks. "I am!" I laugh. "I'm princess Flora of Linphea and this is my younger sister Princess Miele of Linphea." I explain. Helia, Miele and I laugh at their shocked faces.
My mother, Queen Rose of Linphea, comes running out. "Miele my dear I was so worried." She cries hugging Miele. I sigh and step back. "Mum Flora's here!" Miele laughs happily. My mother looks at me briefly before turning back to Miele. "Let's get you cleaned up honestly your sister can't look after you." My mother says taking Miele inside. I sigh. I create a small wooden butterfly in my hand painted green and blow. It transforms into a beautiful green butterfly and flies up to Miele. When she touches it it bursts into petals. I create a portal to take us back. Me and my mother have never been very close since I refused.

(Helia's POV)

I go through the portal with Flora, Ukko, Dolar and Floss. When we get back Flora closes the portal. We start walking in when she collapses. I kneel down next to her and pick her up. "Is she okay?" Floss asks. "Yeah." I reply. "Are you sure?" Dolar asks me. "Yeah she's also one of the girls from the mission she never rested properly she's just exhausted." I explain. Floss and Ukko don't know about the mission but Dolar does. Floss and Ukko go running in to play. "Maybe mum could help heal her." Dolar suggests. "Good idea." I agree carrying her inside. "Mum!" Dolar calls. She enters. "What is it?" She asks us nicely. "Can you heal her?" I ask her. She nods and places a hand on Flora's forehead. A pink glow runs over Flora before she returns to normal. "You know Queen Rose don't you?" I ask. She nods. "Why?" She asks me suspiciously. "When we went with Flora to take her little sister Miele back home to the castle her mother, Queen Rose was sort of cold towards her." I explain. My mother nods. "I'll speak to her we're good friends." She assures me before leaving. I carry Flora upstairs to my room. She's shivering. I lay her in my bed before returning downstairs to see my brother staring at me smirking. "Where's Flora?" He asks grinning. I turn away my face red. "My room." I reply. He laughs. Younger brothers! He's younger then me by two years but can be really annoying. I go upstairs to check on Flora. I hear him laughing but I ignore him. I get in to see her tossing and turning, she's muttering something and sweating a lot. "Flora are you okay?" I ask her waking her up. She sits up and breathes a sigh of relief. She's... crying? "What's wrong?" I ask her. She turns away crying even more. "Flora?" I ask turning her around again to face me. She buries her head in my chest and cries taking me by surprise. "It'll be okay." I whisper in her ear guessing she's afraid. She lifts her head up and dries her eyes. "Sorry." She apologizes. "It's fine." I assure her. She smiles. "You need to get some rest." I tell her. She nods and lays down. I watch her as she closes her eyes and her breathing becomes steady. "I love you Flora." I whisper. The last thing I'm expecting happens as Flora's soft voice gently replies "I love you too Helia." She sits up and stares at me. We're both bright red. I lean in and gently kiss her. She doesn't pull back. "I knew it!" I hear Dolar's voice causing us to pull away both of us blushing. "You should rest." I tell Flora getting up. She nods awkwardly and lays down while I go after my brother. We go downstairs. "Sometimes I hate you." I tell him causing him to laugh even more. I call Roxy as we had all exchanged numbers earlier including Flora. "Hi Helia where's Flora?" Roxy asks straight away as her image appears. In the back ground I can see all the others making out. I laugh. "Looks like their having fun!" I say really loudly so they all hear. They all pull away everyone of them blushing especially the girls. "Roxy we're on Linphea, my brother will pick you up from the house and maybe it's not best to bring you know who." I tell her. Everyone shoots Riven a glare before waving goodbye. I hang up. I throw Dolar the keys to the ship. I give him the area. "You're seriously letting me use it?" He asks considering I've never let him in it before. "Yes and damage it and your paying and explain to Uncle Saladin." I reply. He puts his hands up before getting in the ship. I sigh before running upstairs to Flora who is no longer in my bed. She's standing by the window having surprisingly made my bed. "What you doing?" I ask her as I come up behind her. She jumps causing me to laugh.
