IMPORTANT NOTE: I mixed things up last time because I put it as Chapter Four when it was actually Chapter Three. I miscounted and accidentally put the prologue as a chapter. I'm sorry about the confusion. Also, read the authors note at the end! BTW, I'm really sorry! It took me weeks to update!
CHAPTER FOUR
The Keys
31th April 2009
It had been three days since the girls and the heroes set off to their own realms, each person embarking on their own journey. For the past three days, they gang had done only one thing...relax. Bloom, who was not as mad with Sky anymore, gave her ex-boyfriend a tour around Gardenia, trying to avoid Mitzi as much as she could. Layla and Nabu spent their days together at Tide's world-renown beaches, giving Layla the chance to chat with her mermaid friends once again. Flora spent her time with Rose, Helia and her mother and sometimes she would wander off to enjoy Linphea's beauty. Timmy spent most of his time with Tecna, who often showed him her high-tech gadgets. Musa spent her time singing her gorgeous songs and Riven would hide behind a curtain and listen to her singing, dreamily. Elizabeth spent her days getting in touch with her mother, who she hadn't seen in over seventeen years. Otherwise, she'd try getting to know Mark better. Lastly, Stella spent each and every day doing one thing...
Shopping. What else would the blonde princess do?
They were looking forward to a few more days rest, but little did they know that fate had different plans.
SOLARIA
As the morning settled, Princess Stella twirled around in her large orange room. Large rays of sunlight poured through her open windows, giving the orange-coloured walls an luminous glow. She brushed back her long, blonde hair which had been pulled back into a high ponytail. Her dark pink mini-top and green mini-skirt glowed against her radient skin. Today she was feeling more energetic than ever, because today was the beginning of Solaria's hottest Summers. The amount of sunshine gave her an enormous power-bosst and she felt that she could take on anything.
She picked up her diary, which stood on a wooden stand under the light of the sun. Twirling around some more, she waved her hand over the lock and with a flash, the diary opened up. The writing-filled pages turned and turned, while Stella sat on her queen-sized bed, folding her dress neatly. Once the book stopped turning pages, Stella held up a milky hand and started writing. She wrote about the days she'd spent shopping and how many new clothes she'd bought....she even wrote about Brandon!
"I wonder...how many more clothes could I buy without maxing out this credit card?" Stella wondered to herself, gazing at her reflection in a crystal mirror. She picked up the pen and started to write more about the conversation she'd had with Ms Faragonda a few days ago. She pondered on wether or not she should tell Ms Faragonda, but quickly decided against it.
--- Stella's Diary ---
Ms Faragonda shooed all the girls out, except for me and Bloom. I saw Musa look back and I could tell she desperately wanted to stay. She was always the curious one. Of course, even if Ms F isn't our teacher now, she still is our 'godmother', so she turned away.
I was getting very suspicious...but also very excited. I mean, what could be so important that it only should concern me and Bloom? Sure, we're best friends and Bloom has the Dragon Fire, but....a talk without the rest of the Winx...it must be important.
And it was.
--- Present world ---
Stella didn't get any further, because there was a sharp knocking at the door. The princess quickly flicked back her hand, locking the diary and with a sprinkle of orange sparks, made it vanish into thin air, much like she did on her first day abroad. The door slowly opened, and a maid dressed in Solarian colours walked in. She curtsyed deeply and Stella nodded. The maid quickly scurried forward and gave Stella a orange book, which was coated in white and yellow glitter.
"It was a gift-" She began telling Stella, "from a friend-"
She had barely any time to finish, because the princesss had snatched the book up and was turning it over, examining it curiously. It looked oddly familiar, as if it had been personalized for her. Her name shone on the front page and Stella looked up at the maid, excitedly. She smiled, "Who is it from?"
"Oh your Majesty, I have been asked to keep it a secret," the maid sighed, sheilding her face with her thick charcoal hair. "The person told me that you would find the answer inside the book-"
"Hmmm...." Stella wondered out loud, cutting the maid of from her rant. "Well Cherra, you may leave now. I think I might be a tad bit late for breakfast. I have..."
Stella smiled at the book, "...preoccupations..."
The maid nodded and scuttled out of the room, while Stella turned the book over in her hands. She hummed to herself and opened the first page. In neat, cursive writing it said:
To Princess Stella of Solaria
I hope you enjoy this book,
and all it's memories.
From
Brandon
"Brandon?" Stella read out loud, confused. She shook her blonde hair and turned the page over. There were three pictures, one of their first meeting and another one of them with the rest of the girls. The third one was of the Day Of Rose, they were smiling in each other's hands, while Riven scowled in the background.
The blonde girl, squinted her eyes as she felt tears squeezing out the corner of her eyes. She turned the page over, and then the next and the next. They were all filled with pictures - not just any pictures, but pictures of them. When they were a couple. There she was in Brandon's arms, enjoying the party for Baltor's defeat. They were dancing and the other's were in the background, while Amore flitted around spreading sparkles everywhere. She remembered that day so clearly...
Tears were streaming down Stella's face as she closed the book softly. All those memories were so painful. Stella hated to admit it...but she still loved him. Her mind was swirling, how could he do this to her? Stella opened the book again and she muttered to herself. Undoing the invisible spell on her diary, she unlocked it and grabbed the pen. She cuddled up against the pillows of her bed and pulled of her ring. With a wave of her hand it became the sceptor she had used for years in battle.
She winced back more tears and held the sceptor up. With the words, "Transportus!" she disappeared into the air, dropping the book down with a large thud. Out of the last page, a little note slipped out. The room door opened the slightest bit and Brandon's brown hair popped through the door. He gasped as he saw the book which had dropped on the floor, and following it's trail he saw tear drops stained on Stella's orange bedspread. Brandon grabbed the note and sighed to himself. He looked at the note again, a small tear slipping down his own eye.
Sometimes, I wish things were back to how they used to be.
Love, Brandon.
She was gone. And it was all his fault.
WILLA
Jessica and Elizabeth had more in common than Elizabeth had first realised. She'd spent the first couple of days just hanging out with Mark, she needed to know at least a little bit about her companian. They'd gotten along very well, and Elizabeth enjoyed the moments they had together, but today she decided to have some quality mother-daughter time. It had been years since she and her mother had 'bonded' and she had forgotten how it felt like to have a feminine figure to turn to...not just a father in a royal position.
"So sweetie," Jessica said, happily, as she sat on the wooden table across from Elizabeth, "Where's that cute boy you've been hanging out with? Is he your boyfriend...you guys make a cute couple!"
Elizabeth flushed dark red, "Ma! His name's Mark and he's not my boyfriend! I have Brandon, remember?"
Jessica's expression turned thoughtful as she strained to remember Elizabeth's boyfriend. She vaguely remembered his face, because when Elizabeth had come with the papers to Alfea (laws said both mother and father of the fairy had to sign the papers for it to be valid, unless one of them is deceased or reported missing) she'd decided to bring her boyfriend along. Jessica bit her lip, she never really liked that boy, he didn't seem like someone who Elizabeth would date. Well, she was proved wrong - not once but twice.
"Y'know darling," Jessica sighed, "Perhaps you should face the facts. I've seen the way Mark looks at you, and it's a look a boy would only have when he's in love. I should know, I've lived in this village my entire life and the habit's of boys are obvious to me. Maybe you should give him a chance, because I don't think Brandon is completely over that Solarian princess either."
She winced slightly at the mention of Solaria, reminding herself that her ex-husband was still residing there. She quickly brushed herself off, reminding herself about the ex in front of husband. She walked over to Elizabeth and tucked back a strand of her daughter's long brown hair. She gave her a small kiss on the forehead, before squeezing Elizabeth's hand once. Jessica bent down and smiled to her child, before whisphering into Elizabeth's ear, "You never know Liz. Think about it, okay?"
Then she turned around and walked off into her bed room. She needed some quality time with her television, to get rid of the thoughts of her ex-husband. She just hoped Elizabeth would be okay...
Back at the table, Elizabeth sat there, thinking about what her mother had just told her. She looked outside where Mark was helping some village folk chop down some trees for the camp fire. She smiled to herself, and without noticing gave a small wave to him. He turned around and grinned, waving back. Elizabeth looked into his eyes....they were so blue, she could get lost in those shining pools for days. He gave her thumbs up and took another strike at the tree. The brunette quickly woke herself up from her trance.
"Maybe Mum's right?" Elizabeth sighed. Her gaze wandered to her spell phone, maybe she could call Brandon? His spell phone was speed dial 3...Elizabeth put her head in her hands. She really needed to think!
With another sigh, she pulled herself off the wooden chair and made her way to the front door. She looked back at her mother's room, pondering on wether or not she should write a note. After a few seconds, she decided against it. Her mother would be fine...she shook her head and opened the door and making sure not to be heard, she slipped through and silently closed the door. She paused, to see if her mother would come open the door again. When nothing happened, she breathed out, relieved. Then, she slowly turned towards the thick forest and creeped towards it, blending in with the shadows.
The wind rushed to her face as she reached a familiar thicket of red roses. She needed a really quiet place that nobody knew about. Somewhere far away, yet in reachable distance. She needed to go to somewhere real safe. Her mind whirled with places to go to, but as she looked into the maze of flowers, trees and poisonous red roses, she knew exactly where to go. Her legs moved fast, as she ducked through the trees, the familiar path of the forest stretched out in front of her.
She needed to escape....so that she could think things out properly.
ZENITH
Tecna wondered aimlessly around her large house, her shiny silver laptop tucked under her right arm. It had been quite a while since she had visited her parent's house, they were usually out on some major scientific breakthrough. Tecna sighed to herself, curling her short purple hair. Timmy was out with her parents checking out Zenith's technology, something that she didn't understand. She herself had grown up with all this technology, so she couldn't figure out why it was suddenly the target intrest of both her boyfriend and parents.
Sometimes she thought that maybe Timmy was more interested in computers than she was. And she was the fairy of technology! She sighed to herself, thinking about what the other girl's would be doing right that moment. Stella was probably buying the whole Solaria, she thought silently. Chuckling to herself she sat down on one of their lounge room couches. She flicked open her laptop and typed in a few words on Magic Search. Within seconds a large screen popped up, displaying a series of words and codes.
"Hmm..." Tecna muttered, navigating her way through the screen, "I never thought Earth would have so many protective codes....I s'pose they never thought some inter-galactic person would try to hack into their system. God, this technology is so old....it reminds me of Bloom's old mobile phone. I wonder..."
Suddenly the screen disappeared and a large picture popped up. Tecna smile wavered as she saw her mother and father looking down at her, expectantly. They looked rather angry, and Tecna couldn't help but notice a confused Timmy in the background. She winced, she was pretty dumb-founded too. Where did they come from? She'd expected to tune into Bloom's magi-cam...not get scolded by her parents who were still in Zenith's city halll, showing off their work to her boyfriend. Besides, how could they reach her, unless they used a video-call?
"Tecna Digi Zed, what do you think you are doing?!" Her father scolded, over the screen. Tecna winced. "Your mother and I have the house programmed to notify us whenever magic is being used to get through the magic barrier. What are you doing with Earth, Tecna?!"
"Dad-" Tecna protested, moaningly, "I was reaching my friend Bloom! Ms Faragonda sent her to Earth because her realm-"
"Oh!" Her dad growled, dramatically throwing his hands in the air, "Nonsense! Next you're going to tell me that she's the lost princess of Domino and she controls the ancient power of the Dragon!"
"Ummmm....Dad...she does have the-" Tecna tried again, hopelessly.
Before she could say anything else, the screen blinked off and Tecna sighed, crawling off the sofa. It seemed like she was one big disappointment to the family. Sure, she was the fairy of technology, but it seemed that it was nothing to them. Tecna sighed, pacing across the room. She wished she was with the girls again, they all loved her and didn't care if she could carry the family's legacy or not. She closed her eyes, thinking of how much fun they could be having.
Tecna balled up her hands and looked up at the ceiling. She was standing right under a large hole which was the remnants of an antenna coming off from that morning. Without realising what she was doing, Tecna transformed into her Enchantix and fluttered out her wings. She needed to go away...not for long...just enough to get her mind straight. She bent her milky white knees and jumped off, fluttering her wings through the evening sky. She didn't even stop for a moment.
She flew straight up, higher than any fairy had ever flown before. Soon she was face-to-face with glittering stars. One caught against her wing, ripping it slightly. Tecna shrieked in pain, though she knew no-one would hear her. She was in the universe now and nobody could hear her. Tecna moaned as the rip became bigger and she tried jerking it away, but it ripped more and more. Soon, her wing was ripped in half and Tecna was in a great deal of pain.
"A fairy's wings are part of her....they are attatched to her body..." Tecna muttered to herself, clutching her wing in agony.
Her feet slipped against the stars surface and Tecna fell backwards, screaming in horror.
She was going to die!
HARMONIC NEBULA
Musa smiled to herself as she danced along with the meledious sound of the piano. She swayed her hands, pointing her toes and twirling around to her father's song. It felt so nice to dance to the music with her dad, this was the first time they had done anything like this in years and years. Still smiling, Musa opened her mouth and started to sing. Instantly, the room was filled with her rich notes and even Riven, who'd been sword-fighting with a potato sack, stopped to listen.
"Musa...that was great!" Her father exclaimed, he jumped off the small stool and scuttled over to her, "You sound just like..."
The musical star turned her head towards her father and hugged him, small tears begining to stream down her own face. His face was now streaming with tears and he whisphered rather hoarsely, "Just...like...your mother."
"Nice job...Musa?" Riven's congratulating tone soon turned to a worried one, "Musa? Are you okay...are you-are you crying?"
Musa sighed sadly as she broke away from her father, tears mixed with her mascara. Riven sighed to himself, not knowing what to do. With his left hand he stroked away her tears and pulled her in for a hug. Once she was in his embrace, Musa started sobbing uncontrollably. Her father stood back, crying softly to himself.
"Riven..." Musa choked out, "I miss her so much..."
---
Musa walked across the corridor, humming her latest song, "When I look at you, I can defeat a thousand soldiers. When you talk to me, I feel like I'm the strongest person on world. When I'm with you, I could do anything I wanna do. Cause when I'm with you, there's a feelin' so strong, I can't describe it. There's magic in my heart, and I know that's true. Whenever ever I'm with you, there's magic in my heart and I think you feel it too. Magic in my hearrrrrt...."
She stopped humming the song, when she reached a door she didn't know was their before. It's knob was boarded up, and it looked like somebody didn't want her to see what was inside of it. Curiously, Musa lifted up her hand and did an unlocking spell Ms Faragonda once thought her. She'd used to sneak into her room after curfew, but she daren't tell anybody (especially Griselda) that! Quickly she slipped inside the room and gasped at the sight.
It was her mother's old room! It was pink and red, with music instruments everywhere. Musa felt something wet on her cheek and brushed it off. When she turned around, she saw two large, framed photo. The first one was of her mother and father's wedding day and Musa couldn't help but smile. They looked so happy, her mother was in a long red wedding dress and her father was in a tuxedo, clasping her hand as if they were the only to people alive. The second one, made Musa tear up again. Her mother sat on a wooden chair, her black hair tucked back into a ponytail and next to her was Musa's father, looking like he won a million dollars. In her mother's arms was a baby girl, which was all wrapped up in white sheets. Musa walked up to the picture and touched the baby's face, it had black hair and was smiling happily.
"Oh Mom...I wish you were here with me..." Musa sobbed.
ANDROS
Layla turned over in her soft blue bed, digging her face in one of her pillows, trying to sheild her eyes from the light. It was the fourth morning of their adventure, and she knew that she really should start, but a few more days on Andros's rocky beaches wouldn't hurt, right? Smiling to herself she closed her eyes, softly, trying to catch a few more minutes of sleep. Before she could drift back into sleep, one of Andros's maids came bustling in, looking very troubled.
"Your highness?" She asked nervously, bowing in front of the sleeping princess. She bowed so deep that she stumbled on her own feet and ended up sprawled in front of Layla's bed. Layla herself jolted out of bed at the loud noise and smiled down at the maid, who was now blushing majorly. Layla put out a hand and the maid grabbed it, thankfully.
"Um...yes...thank you, your...um...highness," she stuttered, brushing her green hair. "Um...well...your mother...I mean Queen Andrea...would like to see you. She said that you should meet her in the dining room....I mean the study...no, I think it was the court room..."
Layla grinned, she liked this maid's personality. It was obvious that she had never been given a task like this before, so Layla decided to cut the young girl some slack. She was stumbling on her words, babbling about how she swore that she knew where the meeting was. The Tides princess cocked her head, happily, "You mean the royal balcony?"
"Um...yes...how did you..." She trailed off and curtseyed yet again.
Layla laughed, "Honestly, you don't have to do that. Just ask your friends in the palace, I'm cool with you treating me like an ordinary person. And anyway, my mum loves the balcony's view. She uses any chance to meet someone there!"
Stilling smiling, Layla turned towards her closet to get ready. She reached towards a purple top, but stop when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She clutched onto her belly and reached for the top. It was the remnants of Elizabeth's 'evil' period. She'd gone crazy for revenge, and in the process she'd taken some of Layla's Enchantix. Apparently, it was more intense than when she first thought, because according to both Ms Faragonda and Enchant's nurse, their was a mistake.
Because the adventurous princess drew her power from water, when she earnt her Enchantix, the power water magic mixed with the normal water in her body. The spell Elizabeth used to deplete Layla's Enchantix, was designed especially for her. Back then Elizabeth didn't know that Layla's power was Morphix, she just thought it was water. So the spell was instructed to take away all the magical water from her body. Unfortunately for her, the spell backfired and it ended up taking much more than it was first intended to. It took away a small part of Layla's Enchantix and her life force, weakening her. It shouldn't have been that easy, but with Elizabeth's Enchantix and the fact that she was a fairy, it made the whole process a lot easier. So, even though Elizabeth returned Layla's Enchantix, she couldn't 'return' Layla's 'life force'.
It was all very complicated, but there was one thing that was absolutely certain to the Andros Princess - she had to get her Fairix!
---
Queen Andrea wandered around the large throne room, awaiting the arrival of her daughter. She'd spent some time in the balcony, but soon a treacherous storm approached, so she'd had to back out on their plans. Outside the castle, thunder was striking and the people of Andros were hiding in their houses for cover. Nobody wanted to get caught in this storm, it was dangerous even for a fairy of immense power. Rain was pelting down and lightning was striking bare ground, some forests even caught on fire and grass was charred terribly. Even the oceans seemed to be in a bad mood. Waves were crashing everywhere and the current was strong, brushing large clumps of seaweed onto the banks of all the beaches. Andros was in uproar.
Layla walked into the throne room, rather uncertain. The whole scenario seemed fishy to her, she'd never been called to see her mother privately. If she ever did, she was either in very big trouble or something really important was going on. Usually, it was some big gala event that her mother would throw, either that or Solaria was having another one of their famous parties. Layla fiddled with her hair, something she never did. Biting her lip she forced herself to walk up to Queen Andrea and greet her mother.
"Layla, my dear," Queen Andrea began, "Your father and I had a meeting a couple of days ago, something very important. The matter was then brought to the attention of the Royal Court and we all decided-"
"Um mum?" Layla interrupted, quite aware that it was rude to interrupt a person of higher rank than you, "Why are you telling me this? I mean no offense or anything but I'm really not interested in some court matter. It is your job, right?"
Andrea sighed, deeply, "Layla, we didn't talk about 'court matters' we talked about...you."
Layla raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, "Me? What about me?"
"Your...future." Andrea told her, biting her lip. "Layla, your father and I have decided to marry you off to Nabu...in two weeks."
She winced as Layla blew up, "TWO WEEKS!? MOTHER HAVE YOU GONE CRAZY!? I THOUGHT WE AGREED THAT WE'D GET MARRIED WHEN WE BOTH FELT THE TIME WAS RIGHT! MUM, HOW COULD YOU?!"
Andrea responded as calmly as she could, "Sweetie, the whole court said it was appropriate...we are growing old, and you are fresh in your days of youth and we need someone to hand over the throne. Besides, I want a grandaughter or grandson to spoil."
"GRANDAUGHTER? GRANDSON?" Layla yelled, "YOU'VE ALREADY THOUGHT THAT FAR!?"
"Honey..." Andrea tried.
Layla stormed out of the room, boiling with rage. How could they marry her off to Nabu? Sure, they were in a really happy relationship, but were they really ready for marrige. She placed a hand on her throbbing head, ready to scream her head off. Before she could speak though, five maids rushed up to her, holding up various items. They blocked her path and started babbling different questions at the same time, each of them said something different.
One held up two cloths, "Princess Layla, would you like white napkins or blue?"
Another one held up four different flowers, "Would you like rose, daffidol, daisy or frangipani?"
The third held up a notebook, "What will be the theme of the wedding? White or Blue?"
Another held up two fabrics, "Should we use ribbon or silk?"
The last one spoke up, "What should the menu be? How about the sitting arrangements? Guests?"
The princess shreiked in anger. She couldn't take it anymore! Without another word, she stormed out of the castle, her head burning with rage. She opened the double doors and the wind rushed to her face. Thunder crackled and rain was pouring. It reflected Layla's mood perfectly. Without another word, she stomped across the sandy beaches and through the raging storm. The tides wet her feet and her feet were getting all sandy. Lightning crackled around her, but yet she didn't stop.
How could she do this to her?
LINPHEA
Flora was in a very good mood. Earlier that day, Helia had surprised her by taking her out on a romantic date into the gardens. They had a fun picnic and then she returned home to help her mum with a batch of chocolate cookies, her favourite. Then, the two had gone out into the gardens so that Flora could practise her magic and her mother could do the gardening. After that, Helia had spent some quality time with her and he'd shown her some of her gorgeous pictures.
Right that moment, Rose qas getting really excited. Flora had promised to show her little sister her old hideout in the woods. When she was younger, she'd go in there whenever she needed to be alone or if she was just bored. After a few moments of walking along the forest trail, Flora took a right into the thick woods, with Rose right behind her. After five minutes of silence, they approached a secret clearing in the middle of the forest. It was the most beautiful sight you would ever see in Linphea.
In the middle of the clearing there was a short tree stump and surrounding it was rare and beautiful flowers. While Rose admired them, Flora breathed in the fresh air. This clearing had so many memories in it. She wandered over to the tree stump and spotted something glinting in the sunshine. Without a moment's thought, she pulled out the shiny piece of metal. She was surprised to see that it was a small pink diamond in the shape of a flower. Remembering Ms Faragonda's words, Flora opened her locket and placed the diamond inside.
She was surprised to see it fit perfectly, and she could almost here a little click. Instantly the locket began to glow in a soft pink colour. Flora gasped in delight, it really was a sight!
"It's so beautiful," Flora murmured, "I really must tell mother...and Helia."
HARMONIC NEBULA
Musa collapsed on her mother's bed, exhausted. She smiled up at the ceiling and turned on her side. She was surprised to see a small glint under her mother's pillow. She put her hand under it and pulled out a small red ruby shaped as a small music note. Musa smiled to herself and clasped it in her locket, after thinking about Ms Faragonda's words.
It glowed red and Musa gazed at it in awe. It really was beautiful.
WILLA
Elizabeth sat, huddled up, in her old tree house. She had gone there everytime she felt sad or angry, back when her mother and father were together in Willa. Sighing, her mind flicked to Brandon, then to Mark. She closed her eyes and when she opened it again, there was a silver diamond in her palm. Her eyes widened and Ms Faragonda flashed into her mind. She closed her palm around the diamond.
She found her key!
ANDROS
In a dark cave by the sea, Layla sat. She was in tears after hearing what her mother had decided. Her temper had gone as soon as her energy had, and now she just sat there in a corner, crying. A single tear dropped down onto the ground and Layla stared after it, surprised to see a sudden sparkle. She closed her eyes, thinking she was crazy, but when she opened her eyes there was a small purple diamond. Layla bit back a gasp and clutched it in her hand, only one thing going through her head.
This was the thing Ms F told them about - the key!
SOLARIA
Stella opened her eyes, looking around to see where the ring had brought her. She was surprised to see it was her old sun-room, her secret hide-out behind Solaria's palace. She sighed and dropped onto her knees, tears spilling out of her eyes. She stayed there for two hours, crying her heart out. When she finished, she wiped her eyes and held up her ring, which transported her back to her room in a flash. When the sceptor disappeared, in it's place was a yellow diamond, sparkling as much as the sun.
Stella gasped - her key!
There adventure was beginning...
A/N:
