Chapter 12
(Flora's POV)

I wake up early in the morning. I look at the clock opposite my bed to see it reading 6am. I feel arms around me and soft breathing on my neck. Aisha and Nabu are still asleep. I'm laying down on the bed with a blanket pulled over me and arms around my waist. I turn to come face to face with Helia. He's still asleep. He's laying next to me with his arms firmly wrapped around my waist. I can't help but smile. Lips crash against mine and I see Heli kissing me. I blush and return it. We pull apart and just stare at each other. "You had me so worried before, I was beginning to think that-" Helia starts as a few tears escape his eyes. I smile and hug him as he quickly dries his eyes. Our lips connect once more before we pull apart. "But I'm here now." I whisper in his ear causing him to smile. He sits up letting go of me and moves to the chair next to my bed. The door opens and four people enter. "Flora you're awake!" Miele squeals hugging me. "What's that on you're neck?" Dolar asks me. My neck? I shrug while Helia looks. "It's a rash." Helia tells us. "I've been thinking..." I start. "What is it?" Helia asks me softly. "I don't know if I want to go back to the Winx." I finish. "I don't know either." Aisha answers as she wakes up. "How about we get the Winx and Specialists to come over and then they can try and convince you and then you can make up your minds." Nabu suggests. Me and Aisha nod. Nabu leaves the room to call the guys to bring the girls. "What are those cuts on your wrists?" Floss asks me. Instantly Helia heals them. "What about that, they're pretty." Ukko tells me pointing t the symbols on my wrists. "Yeah what are they?" Chatta asks. "I was born with them, this one says 'the light always has dark' ad this one says 'darkness can be used for good or bad'" I reply motioning to the symbols. "How can you read that?" Aisha asks. I shrug. "I just can." I answer honestly. "You four should get going." I tell them. "But we only just got here." Dolar point out. "Yeah!" "Helia I'm going to be sick." I whisper urgently to him. He grabbed a bowl and placed it on me and felt my forehead and frowned. "Dolar I think you should take them and get a doctor." Helia tells his brother urgently. Dolar knew better then to argue sensing the urgency in Helia's voice and quickly took the other and left. "Can't you heal her?" Aisha asks. Nabu enters the room having heard what happened. I started vomiting into the bowl Helia gave me. "Neither of us can heal her unless we know what's wrong with her." Nabu told her. A doctor came running in. He uses his magic to see what's wrong with me. "She was given a drug overdose while she was asleep." The doctor says grimly. Helia picks me up carefully and cradles me in his arms as he places a hand on my burning head. He uses his magic to start to heal me and Nabu helps him with his magic before I start to feel better. The colour comes back to my face but I think I still need to sleep. I hear the doctor walk out." I'm sorry that I have to go but I do need to find out who gave her a drug overdose." The doctor explains. "Rest now my flower the other will be coming later." Helia whispers in my ear before laying me down again and pulling the blanket over me. I let sleep take over.

I wake up to see everyone in the room. All the Specialists and Winx. "Flora!" All the Winx apart from Aisha squeal as they hug me. I notice Stella is wearing a short sleeve shirt and there are only one or two cuts on her arms altogether. I smile to myself. She must've spoken to Brandon and he must have helped her. "First of all I'm so sorry for not realizing sooner." Musa apologizes as she hugs me. I smile. "It's fine." I whisper in her ear. "And second of all Riven has something to say to you." Musa says pulling away and pushing Riven forward. I quickly glance at Helia before returning my gaze to Riven. I feel Helia take hold of my hand gently. "I'm sorry Flora and all of you for acting the way I did and saying the things I said." Riven apologizes. "It's okay." I manage to assure him and the others manage to murmur in agreement. I have grown up with learning not to hold a grudge, I know that time and life is something valuable and I don't want to waste it. I groan grabbing my head feeling some pain. "It's a side effect from the overdose the magic still hasn't healed her completely yet." Nabu says. I look up as something hits me. "I want to see Conner." I say. Helia turns to face me. He's confused, they all are. "Don't you remember Flo?" I hear a familiar voice ask. I get to my feet with Helia's help and hug Amber as he supports me. "Good to see you again Amber." Aisha tells her and Nabu, Helia and Chatta nod in agreement but the others haven't met her... I don't think. I feel my legs start to give way but before I can even start falling Helia picks me up. "Who are you?" Bloom asks her. "I'm Flora's friend from Linphea, my names Amber." Amber introduces herself as I smile. "Who's Conner?" Sky asks. "when Flora is better she can choose to tell you, Nabu, Aisha, Helia and Chatta have kind of already met him but I think we can get her to remember by taking her there." Amber explains. "I'll teleport us there." Stella squeals quickly teleporting all of us including the pixies there. She uses her magic to change me into normal clothes. I look around. We're on Linphea. "We should stay here when Flora's better she might not want us knowing." Tecna points out. "I think it would be safer that way." Timmy agrees. "And if she does want us to know she can always explain when she's better." Brandon adds hugging Stella. Helia, Aisha, Nabu and Chatta follow Amber. Helia carrying me. We arrive at a graveyard. "Conner isn't going to be here." I point out but Amber ignores me. "Amber we're not going to find my brother here." I say more firmly. She stops in front of a rave stone and Helia hesitantly sits me down in front of it. It has my brothers name on it.

I shake my head as tears roll down my face. "Flora, Conner committed suicide a few years ago because of serious bullying by one guy particular, his name is Chris, Flora do you remember?" Amber explains. The memories come flooding back as I manage a nod as I begin crying a lot. I use my magic on the grave. They step back as the grass area starts to light up and suddenly I see Conner, not alive but more like a spirit. I hug him and he hugs me back. "Conner." I manage to say. "Little sister, I'm sorry for what I did and I know what you've been doing but please stop, you need to carry on with your life despite what I did, I love you little sister." Conner tells me whispering the last part before he disappears. I fall to the floor crying still. Helia picks me up gently in his arms as I cry into his chest. He brushes my hair out of my face before Amber teleports us back to the others. "I have to go I'll see you again soon." Amber says before leaving. Helia gently places me down with one arm around my waist as I cry into his chest. "Lets get back to Alfea." Stella says as she teleports us.

I dry my eyes and stop crying as we get to Alfea. There are tear stains on my face and my eyes are red. All the girls outside cheer as we appear. Everyone knows by know that me and Aisha left. After all we'd been gone for over three weeks. We go to our dorm with the guys. Helia takes me into mine and Bloom's shared room. He lays me down on my bed and sits next to me.

"Are you okay after that?" Helia asks me gently as he kisses my forehead. "I'm fine." I assure him sitting up. Helia wraps an arm around me and kisses me gently. I smile and return it. We walk out of mine and Bloom's room and into the living room to see all the others there.

"Who's Conner?" Riven asks me instantly. "That's none of your business." I reply through gritted teeth. "I think-" Riven starts but is cut of by Musa. "Riven stop it." Musa says firmly pushing him back. It was to late though. He'd already made me mad! Very mad! I start glowing green. The ground shakes a bit as the wind howls. This is what I can do with the power of Linphea. "Her energy is of the charts." Tecna tells us sheltering herself from the wind with her arm. "Flora calm down." Timmy tells me. I feel Helia's arms wrap around my waist and spin my around. Tears roll slowly down my face. He wipes the tears away. "It's okay Flora you don't have to tell them." He whispers. The wind stops howling and the Earth stops shaking. "By my calculations she could do a lot more." Digit explains. "I'm siding with Digit." Chatta says. "Yeah you're right I can do a lot more." I tell them sighing as I sit down. "Riven what the hell were you thinking?" Helia asks Riven with anger in his voice. "That was totally wrong for you to start saying things like that." Sky adds. "You to calm down." Bloom says stopping Sky from walking over to Riven. "Just because she's the youngest out of everyone doesn't mean you can pick on her." Brandon tells Riven. "Riven you better change your attitude or we're over." Musa adds. I freeze. I'm ruining their relationship! Helia sits down pulling me onto his knee and I rest my head carefully on him. I look out of the window and freeze. "What's wrong Flora?" Nabu asks me before anyone else can. "He's here." I say through gritted teeth as a single tear rolls down my cheek. "Who?" Aisha asks me walking over to me. I turn and look her dead in the eye. "Chris." I answer. I walk out and outside of Alfea to where Chris is. He's a Specialist. The one who caused my brothers death.

"Shit why is he here?" Aisha asks. Everyone but me turns and stares at her. "Sorry I forgot Flora doesn't like it when we swear." She apologizes. "It's fine that bastard is going to get what he deserves." I reply. They all gasp. I've never sworn before. "Hey Flora." He says with a grin as he reaches a hand out to touch me which I instantly knock away. He glares a me. "Oh so you're supposedly tough now, I fucking doubt." He laughs. I glare at him. "What you did to Conner was unbelievable." I tell him. "I could whip you're ass without power blindfolded." I add. He smirks. "Fine then me, you now." He replies. "Fine." I agree. I walk over to Sky. "Flora are you sure he's a trained Specialist-" Sky starts. "Just give me your sword." I say cutting him of. He sighs and hands it over. I use my magic to make a blindfold appear. I walk over to where Chris is a put it on. "And fight." Brandon says. He runs towards me. He may be a Specialist but I know a thing or two about fighting.
