Only The Start Chapter 8, a winx club fanfic

Chapter 8
(Flora's POV)

I stand behind the curtain with the microphone in my hand. My hands were sweaty. "Flora you ready?" Musa asks I nod. She smiles at me. "You'll be fine." She assures me going back the other side of the curtain. At least I can't be seen. "We're the Winx and as you know we're preforming this concert." Musa says laughing a little. They start playing. I take a deep breathe and start singing.

I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course

I'm slippin down a chain reaction
And here I go here I go here I go go
And once again I'm yours in fractions
It takes me down pulls me down pulls me down low

Honey it's raining tonight
But storms always have an eye have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight
Or tell me lies tell me lies lies

I want you to know that it's our time
You-

I freeze and drop the microphone as the curtain had just been taken down. The girls continue playing until they realise I stopped. I see Roxy holding the sheet. I slowly back away and off the stage. I run inside the building. I can't believe it! They planned on doing that to me! "We'll be back shortly." I hear Musa announce.

I run through the huge building down to the attic surprisingly. I start glowing slightly grey. I run out. There is something down there. I wipe the tears off. They know I can't stand facing live crowds yet they do that! As I get back up I stop glowing. "Flora." Bloom says as she reaches me. "How could you do that?" I ask her. "Come we on't do it again I promise." She says. "And how am I suppose to trust that?" I ask her. She sighs knowing she's lost my trust completely. "Flora please come." Aisha begs appearing and then the others do. "Fine." I give in. We get out and I don't even get on the stage I stand behind it. "Where is she?" One girl asks. "She'll be singing from a secret location." Tecna laughs. They start playing.

I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course

I take a deep breath as I walk on stage and continue to sing. The crowd gasp and the girls and guys look shocked.

I'm slippin down a chain reaction
And here I go here I go here I go go
And once again I'm yours in fractions
It takes me down pulls me down pulls me down low

Honey it's raining tonight
But storms always have an eye have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight
Or tell me lies tell me lies lies

I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me we're the same force
I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course

I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light

I'm better under your reflection
But did you know did you know did you know know?
That's anybody else that's met ya
It's all the same all the same all the same glow

Honey it's raining tonight
But storms always have an eye have an eye
Tell me you're covered tonight
Or tell me lies tell me lies lies

You and me run the same course

I want you to know that it's our time
You and me bleed the same light
I want you to know that I'm all yours
You and me run the same course

I breathe a sigh of relief knowing the first one was over. Everyone cheers. I smile at the girls. I feel something strange. I freeze as I see my mother walking in the school. "Flora is something wrong?" Stella asks quietly. "My mother is here." I say through gritted teeth. "Change of plans we're doing this song first" I say sing my magic to change their music. They nod.

(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 armor, 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 armor, 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 armor, 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 sing the whole time looking directly at my mother and I know she noticed. She sighs. She's never treated me like she loves me so that's how she's hurt me. And that's hurt me badly. I run off the stage feeling unbearable pain in my head. I drop to the floor clutching my head. I drop the microphone making an unbearable noise. Helia runs behind the stage next to me. "Why did you drop the microphone idiot?" Riven asks. "It's not that, her head is burning." Helia says feeling my head. My eyes glow green. I can sense her. She's in trouble.

I go back to normal but the pain in my head is still there. I go on the stage trying to ignore the pain. "Flora are you okay?" Bloom asks. "No there's trouble." I reply. "Winx Enchantix!" We all say transforming. "What's happening?" The girls and teachers ask each other. "Stay here." I tell the girls.. They nod. I fly forwards. "Nature reveal them." I say. I stay there using all my power. The wind howls as all the trees get blown as well as everyone else but the only thing that happens to me is my hair gets blown around. Suddenly the four of them appear. "Flora we'll deal with the Trix you help her." Bloom says. I nod. I was planning on helping her anyway. She's my sister. "You'll have to be quick then Flora!" Icy laughs as the throw her down. "Miele!" I shout flying as fast as I can towards her. I grab her in my arms and take her to the ground. "Here Miele." I say weakly giving her a small weak smile. "Flora!" Miele cries. I turn to see ice travelling towards us from Icy. "Vine defence." I say making a shield. As soon as the ice hits it breaks but the ice did as well luckily. I get knocked on the floor. Nabu puts a shield around everyone while Helia helps the other guys. It's not long before the Trix finally decide to leave. "Flora." Miele cries. "I'm fine Miele." I assure her but I can't convince myself yet alone her. Helia kneels down next to me. I try to sit up but he ends up having to help me. "Flora the concert is going to have to wait." He tells me. I take a sharp breathe and nod. "Let me just explain to Miele." I tell him quietly. He nods and we both sit on the floor with Miele. "Miele it's not safe here go home with mother." I tell her. "But I'm a fairy." Miele complains. Me and Helia laugh. "Yes and you'll grow up to be a strong and brave fairy but your time hasn't come yet." I tell her gently. I see the girls coming. "Aisha can you take my sister Miele to my mother?" I ask. Aisha nods and takes Miele's hand leading her away. Helia helps me up. "Is she okay?" Bloom asks. "I'm fine." I lie. The pain in my head has got worse. Despite Helia supporting me I still nearly fall. My eyelids grow heavy as I nearly pass out. "Whoa I've got you." Helia says picking me up. I'm too weak and probably too ill to struggle or even speak. "Headmistress Faragonda-" Tecna starts. "Take her to the infirmary." I hear Miss. Faragonda tell them. Helia carries me there. I feel my breathing speed up as Helia carries me. We get there and he lays me down. The nurse examines me carefully. She sighs.

By now I can barely stay awake. I see the nurse and the others talking. The other guys walk in followed by the pixies. They all then come over to me except the nurse who went back to work. "Flora you had a panic attack but you continued while having one somehow." Timmy explains. "It could be a panic disorder if they continue." Brandon adds. I sigh. "I could of told all of you about them myself. "What do you men?" Digit, Tecna's bonded pixie asks. "I've been having them for years." I answer. They stare at me. "You never said anything though." Sky and Nabu say at the same time making me laugh. "Because I barely knew you." I reply. "But what about recently?" Riven asks obnoxiously. "Riven stop being so horrible towards us Flora especially, after some of the stuff you've done to her lately." Aisha snaps at him. "Because I know you, I know how horrible you treat me and I know if I was ever to tell you something you'd just use it make my life worse then it already is and that I can never trust you and I'd rather die then trust you." I answer. "Flora don't talk to him like that what has he done to you?" Musa asks me obviously angry. From the silence after I told Riven that everyone excluding me, Musa and Riven start listing the many things he's done. "Musa what hasn't he done?" I ask her. She looks surprised. "I think it's best you and Riven just leave me alone." I tell her before turning my back to them. They're going to make me even more depressed.
