Chapter 5
(Flora's POV)
Looking through the fridge I pull several things out. "Right." I mutter. I make some home made bread quickly and soup from my own recipe, vegetarian soup. As that's cooking I make a cake big enough to serve us all. The soup and bread is done, I put the cake in and take the bread and soup out. I put a timer on and serve the food. As they start eating I start making the icing for the cake when Musa comes in. "Aren't you eating?" She asks me looking at my food which is untouched. "I'm sorry about Riven earlier." She apologizes. "It's fine." I assure her washing my hands. I grab my food and sit with the others. The girls help me clean up and as soon as they're gone the timer goes off. I take the cake out and put it in the fridge while I finish making the icing, an old trick I learnt so it can cool off easily. I can hear the conversation in the other room though. "Take back what you said before?" I hear Nabu ask. I laugh to myself as I hear no reply then laughter. I finish making the icing. I take the cake out the fridge and I can tell it's cooled down. I spread the white icing over the cake and carefully decorate it with different colour swirls and patterns. I smile with myself before taking it in to the others. I hold it behind my back. "The food was amazing!" Brandon tells me. "So none of you want desert?" I ask smirking. Stella's eyes light up causing us all to laugh. "What were you planning?" Timmy and Tecna ask at the same time and everyone goes silent but still smiling. Timmy and Tecna are so cute together! I place the cake down in front of them with plates for each of them. "Will this do?" I ask. "You're the best Flora!" Bloom squeals causing us all to laugh again. I sit next to Helia as we all have a piece. Once the cake is finished, Sky and Bloom go to clean up. "So we heard about the concert you girls are having at alfea." Helia says. "Who's preforming?" Brandon asks us. We giggle. "Us!" Musa replies. "Are you singing?" Timmy asks her. "Backup for Flora actually." She replies. "Musa!" I groan in a whisper. "They weren't suppose to know it was her." Aisha adds as Sky and Bloom walk back in obviously having heard the conversation. I tip my head back and silently groan to myself. "How's she going to do that she can't even sing in front of us?" Riven asks. "Riven!" Everyone but me and him say. I sigh. Well at the end of the day he's right. I take deep breathe and use my magic to create a few more music sheets... or loads more. "What are these?" Musa asks me as I hand her them. "The music for tomorrow." I reply laughing weakly. She stares at me in shock before sighing. She laughs. We have our work cut out for us! All of those are new but we can do it I know it!
"Why don't you preform a song for us?" Sky asks. "That's for tomorrow!" Bloom laughs. "Yeah we're not spoiling it." Stella adds giggling. "Flora could sing something though." Tecna suggests. I stare at Tecna. "Go on Flora." Riven says staring me dead in the eyes, he's making it worse for me on purpose! I smile to myself. He asked for it. "Fine." I agree surprising everyone.
(Freak the freak out- Victoria Justice)
Are you listening? Hear me talk, hear me sing
Open up the door, easy less, easy more
When you tell me to beware, are you here? Are you there?
Is it something I should know? Easy come, easy go
Nodding your head, don't hear a word I said
Can't communicate, when you wait, don't relate
I try to talk to you but you never even knew
So what's it gonna be, tell me, can you hear me?
(Hear me, can you hear me...?)
I'm so sick of it, your attention deficit
Never listen, you never listen
I'm so sick of it, i'll throw another fit
Never listen, you never listen
I scream your name, it always stays the same
I scream and shout
So what I'm gonna do now is freak the freak out, hey
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Patience running thin, running thin, come again
Tell me what I get opposite, opposite
Show me what is real, if it breaks does it heal?
Open up your ear, why you think that I'm here?
Keep me in the dark are you even thinking of me?
And someone else above me gotta know, gotta know
What am I gonna do? 'Cause I can't get through to you
So what's it gonna be
Tell me, can you hear me?
I'm so sick of it, your attention deficit
Never listen, you never listen
I'm so sick of it i'll throw another fit
Never listen, you never listen
I scream your name, it always stays the same
I scream and shout
So what I'm gonna do now is freak the freak out, hey
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Easy come, easy go
Easy come, easy go
(Can you hear me?)
I scream your name, it always stays the same
I scream and shout
So what I'm gonna do now is freak the freak out, hey
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
I scream your name but you never listen
No, you never listen but you never listen
I sing. I look up at them. They're staring at me but they're all smiling... apart from Riven obviously he'll never smile! Well that's unless he's with Musa."That was great Flora." Nabu tells me. "Thanks." I thank him turning away red with embarrassment. "You'll be fine tomorrow." Bloom assures me. "Yeah even if you did preform on stage." Tecna adds. "Huh?" Timmy asks. I giggle a little. "Stage fright." Stella explains. "That explains it people with stage fright are never good." Riven says. Everyone freezes and I've never seen them look that mad especially Musa. I get to my feet and walk out. "I'm going to clean up the kitchen." I say calmly. As soon as I'm gone I hear the arguing and I can't stop the tears, I don't know why. Riven is like that he'll say things that aren't true I can't let that get to me but yet it is. I feel something. My eyes glow green as I stumble a bit smashing a few plates. "What's happening?" Nabu asks as I feel them all looking at me. I return back to normal and get to my feet. I cut my hand but it's not bleeding that much so there's nothing to worry about! "You okay?" Helia asks me. I nod before running out. "Flora magic Winx Enchantix." I say as I transform and the others do as well. "Where are we going?" Aisha asks me as we fly over the forests. I don't answer but I just keep going until I see them. I fly down to be level with them. "Icy this ends now." I say firmly. The Trix but where is she. That's when I see her but she's not alone. "Let them go!" Bloom yells. I look up at the three children. Miele, Ukko and Floss. The Trix really know how to get to me! "cage of sorrow!" They say. I manage to avoid the attacks but when I look to check on the others they didn't. "You want us to let them go?" Stormy asks. "Sure thing." She adds as she lets Floss and Ukko fall. I hear the guys running. I fly down trying desperately to save them. I grab their hands and then grab them placing them safely down on the ground. "Oh yay more fun!" Icy says smirking as she looks from the guys to me. fly up to be level with them. They still have Miele. "Let my sister go." I tell them. "Fine." Darcy agrees as she lets her drop. She screams as she falls! "Miele!" I scream as I fly towards her. "Oh you won't be helping her!" Icy laughs. I don't know what it is they put around me but it's made of pure darkness so I have no sunlight and I can't survive. I start falling. No Miele! I have to save her! "Enough!" I scream as I break the darkness. This has gone to far! My energy breaks whatever the girls were trapped in and creates a forcefield around Miele landing her safely on the ground. "Nature bolt!" I say but by the time it gets to them they've already disappeared. I sigh in frustration but I still feel a falling sensation.
I transform back against my will. The wind causes my hair to blow into my face as I come nearer to the ground. "FLORA!" All the girls scream as they fly towards me but I know they won't make it in time to save me. At least Ukko, Floss and Miele are safe, that's all that matters. I feel myself land but not on the ground like I was expecting in, someone's arms instead. I manage to look to see who it is and I'm not surprised to see Helia. He's on his wind rider with his helmet on. I can't help but smile. He lands us safely on the ground and the others get on their wind riders. The girls change back to normal and get on the back of their boyfriend's wind rider. Helia carefully puts me on behind him and slides a helmet on me. "You okay?" He asks me quietly. I nod and smile weakly. The guys all take us back. "It's late." Sky says. "I'm exhausted." Musa tells us and we laugh. "We should be getting back." Brandon says as we get off the wind riders giving the helmets we used to the guys."No don't go!" Aisha says with a grin. The guys laugh. "What do you expect us to do?" Nabu asks. Stella grins. Oh no! "SLEEPOVER!" She squeals. We burst out laughing and then so do the guys. "Come on!" Stella squeals dragging Brandon to her room. "Riven don't you have something to say to Flora?" Musa asks Riven as she pushes him towards me implying he needs to apologize. "I'm sorry no one ever told you the truth before." Riven apologizes. I turn away wiping the few tears forming in my eyes away before turning back to face them. "Riven!" Tecna says. "Tecna it's fine anyway I need to go." I tell them. "Helia can you take me to Red Fountain?" I ask him in a whisper so only me and him can hear. He nods and we get on his wind rider and like that we're gone.
"If you don't mind me asking why do we need to come here?" Helia asks me as he stops his wind rider outside his school. I sigh before answering. "I need answers." I reply. He still looks confused. "And here's where I'll get them." I add as we walk in. I can't help but let my hand slip into his. I'm so nervous and I know he can tell. He steps in front of me just before we enter red Fountain. "Flora you need to tell me what's wrong and what you're doing." Helia says as he stops me in my tracks. I sigh. "I told you." I answer. "How are you going to get answers?" He asks me. "I can get them from my Father before he leaves." I reply. Helia hugs me tightly. "Do you want me to come with you?" He asks letting go of me and grabbing my shaking hands. I nod slowly staring him in the eyes. He smiles warmly at me and we walk in.
