I'm sorry its late guys, had dance classes and stuff that really got in my way but I'm sure you all know the disclaimers by now. So without further ado, here is the next chapter. Enjoy!

P.S. add some hidden humour, hope you like. ;)

CHAPTER 6

"Hey look guys, I think she's waking up" said Bloom as she alerted the others.

"What the... aw fuck... Jared must be worried...what happened?"

Flora started to explain "well Helia and I rescued you from some awful people who were after you... do you know why?"

Musa tried really hard to remember... "I don't know... I remember Riven ignoring me..."

Stella was gobsmacked and slightly confused "wait! He left you to get attacked?!"

"I don't know...ugh!" Musa fell back down on the bed from the fatigue.

"Take it easy, my dear. You are in the hospital wing. Now rest." said Nurse Ofelia.

"So Musa, what exactly happened?" Asked Techna.

Musa roughed up a reply "I don't know, one second I'm with Jared and then the next I'm getting nabbed".

"Well that's not much to go on now is it?" Said Techna.

"If it is like any spell, it should wear off and your powers should be restored very soon. But for now, I suggest you sleep." Explained Nurse Ofelia.

Musa was thinking that she had a lot of explaining to do to Jared. Things couldn't get any more complicated in her life right now. Could they?! On the other side, Musa was so mad at Riven that she really wanted some revenge on him. –how could he totally ditch her?!

The girls headed back to their rooms to let Musa rest. Lucky for everyone, the Alfea timetable is planned out so there are no curfews on Fridays and Saturdays. Then Sundays are whole days off!

Techna and flora went in their dorm to use a strange identification device in hope to understand who was after Musa and why.

Techna began to speak "hmmm... flora, what did these people look like?"

Flora started to think back to the encounter and tried to figure out the missing pieces to the puzzle.

"Well they all wore suits and black sun glasses."

Techna looked it up but thousands upon thousands of search suggestion came up. Techna narrowed the results down to clothing and then said "that's not much to go by... anything else?"

Flora thought well and hard about last night... "Suits... just suits". She shook her head in stress.

Techna then hit an epiphany! "Flora! Did they wear any symbol? Something really odd? Anything at all?!"

Flora was thinking while Techna went off a tangent...

"If it was a gang! They must have had something! A colour, something strange, anything! Anything to represent who they are."

Flora remembered a man who had tried to attack her; he was under a street light. He had short spiky blonde hair, sunglasses' and a glove...not a pair! Just one!

"I got it! They all wore one red leather glove; I think it was on their right hand." Flora blurted out as soon as she remembered!

Techna quickly typed in the information for an auto analysis in her computers advanced second software. "A red leather glove, interesting..."

In an old sepia image came up with a fairly large amount of historical background on the 4 figures in the picture.

Flora read the title "the red glove?"

Techna made a remark "yes, a Melodion rebel group... they are not very imaginative either."

"But Musa's family is stepping down from power, what would they possibly want with her now?" Flora questioned... what could they want? What would be in it for them?

Techna continued "according to this article, the red glove came about during the Music revolution. 20 years after the evolution of Sound."

"What? What's the difference?" Flora was very confused.

" It says here that the people of Melody discovered more and more forms of music and the further advance discovery of sounds which in fact lead to the invention of new instruments (The evolution of Sound)... sadly not everyone liked it." Techna explained the article further...

"The royal family of melody back then had ruled over for many years. They were the only royals at the time actually"

Flora became a tad bothered and asked "Techna, none of this links with Musa."

Techna then corrected her; "on the contrary, this is where Musa comes in..." Techna continued...

"The royal family were so afraid that the evolution of Sound would take the spotlight, wealth and power away from them that they decided to ban all music. They forced many musicians and stars, singers, performers, dancers...almost everything and everyone to go out of business! And so came the music revolution a couple years later when poverty and misery became so bad that the people of melody fought back and over threw the royals. Many lives lost in the process of course. And the restoration of music began"

"Wow... reminds me of an earth story Bloom told me, I just don't remember the name exactly... Something to do with a singing vegetable?" Flora was awe struck.

"Well, it gets crazier. Once the people over threw the royals, they formed later formed a very fair government 'the ocean of equality' (inspired by the singing whales of the realm itself). This government decided that after every 50 years, a new royal family would be elected and only a family of high achievement could be nominated for the election process."

Flora took a better look at the two pictures: one of the corrupted royal family and another of the 4 red glove men. Something about the two pictures set off a lot off alarms. There were a lot of similarities between the two pictures.

"Look Flora, it says here that the royals were so corrupted that their 4 sons grew up with bitter parents. They lost all respect and became outlaws. They became a rebel group. Totally against the ocean of equality! Hence the name "the red glove". Wearing one red glove to represent anger, revenge and blood. Blood that they are not afraid to spill if anyone gets in their way and the self proclaimed blood of 'royalty' they apparently still have. All they ever wanted was their people's money. Selfish and rebelling to get their own way. Almost like a mafia of melody you could say." Techna concluded the article.

Flora couldn't believe how selfish someone could be! "...royalty is meant to be representing the good of your realm and protecting the people in your dominion. This is cruel and selfish." Flora looked at the article and quoted:
"generations include the first four sons who later included their own sons... more information to the current generation of the brotherhood of the red glove is unknown."

Techna and flora switched at the same time "if Musa gets married..."

They looked at each other "they will capture her to gain power!" They both gasped.

Flora and Techna ran for the door. Musa needs to know the truth! And quick!

The door to the hospital wing swung open. Flora and Techna took a glance at Ofelia and realised Musa was gone. They saw her empty bed and knew no good would come from this. "Where did she go?" Flora's eyes scanned the room and then her locked onto a note.

Flora called Techna over and read the note aloud:

"Hey girls,

I'm feeling better. My powers are not back yet but it's ok; I am just going to Red fountain to apologise to Jared.

I know he is worried sick right now since I took off last night without explanation.

Catch you later!

Musa."

Flora and Techna looked at each other with faces full of worry. This can all go wrong or she will be back to Alfea safely. Techna made the quickest decision possible "the red glove might come here looking for her; we should alert the others."

"I'll call the boys and let them know." Flora volunteered.

Over at red fountain, Helia's phone was ringing. Unfortunately the boys were in class and there was no way they could get out of this one. Riven on the other hand was practising his sword skills outside.

"Seriously, don't know why she would even bother with Jared..." Riven said under his breath. He was truly frustrated with how Musa just lead him on.

"Don't know why she would even waste her time with him". Riven started to aim his sword towards his target.

"Stupid Jared..." he back flipped over an obstacle and with one smooth criss-cross motion he sliced through the hologram, destroying his target. He walked away and focused on his next obstacle. Riven was clearly not in any mood for class today. A chance for some alone time might do him some justice (sadly his fury can't be pacified so easily). He ran around the obstacle course in a circle, took out his sword and jumped through the four targets, leaving the virtual reality holograms to all seamlessly turn to shreds and drop to the ground. "Really don't trust that Jared one bit".

The thought later became a reality when a hover bus delivered one princess Musa to Red fountain. She looked around to see if Jared was anywhere to be seen. 'He might still be in class, better wait somewhere' Musa thought to herself.

Musa was still unstable from the drugs. The mysterious substance of alcohol suddenly took hold of her again. Whatever she had was no ordinary cocktail. Her eyes became blood shot and she quickly became enraged. –another mood swing and still awaiting for her powers to return. Going to Red fountain could have waited but clearly this combination of fairies and drinking was a bad mix and way too strong for her.

Musa's eyes locked on to one of the guys who were not in class, quite a few who would normally request extra time to practise outside of class when final exams were just around the corner. Although this brooding lone wolf of a student was Riven.

Musa shouted "hey! Thanks for being a right dickhead!"

'Did she just call him a dickhead? To his face?' Was the first thought any bystander nearby would have got.

Riven turned to face Musa and said "you really want to start this? You're the one who went out with...Whatever!" Riven didn't want Musa to see the hurt he was really feeling.

"You just don't care for anyone but yourself, I could have been in trouble!" Musa was enraged, her eyes turned more red.

Riven looked at her eyes and said "go calm down Musa and get some sleep".

"Calm down?! You're telling me to fucking calm down?!" She replied as the specialist were all coming out of class. Musa and Riven continued arguing without a single glance at the crowd building up.

"I could have been fucking kidnapped but all you wanted to do was fly off..." Musa continued but Riven cut her off by saying "oh please! You're looking fucking fine to me. Piss off Musa." Riven said; quiet cynical. He didn't want to get mad, especially with how much he already was with Musa.

"You know you're a real dickhead Riven. Maybe if you had the guts to be like Jared then we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"This mess?! You're the one who went out with him! Last night is totally your problem!" Riven pointed at Musa.

"You could have put some more effort in! You're always thinking you can do everything by yourself! That's your problem! Always pushing everyone away!" Musa gave Riven one hell of a wake-up call.

Riven dismissed with a comment that was sure to cross the line "well if you don't like a real relationship with real challenges then go with Jared! In fact go fuck him. He's easy right?! That's what you want!? Your easy yourself, you're too easy! You just want any guy! Ha! Are you really that desperate..."

Fortunately sky, Brandon, Timmy and Helia were talking amongst each other "is this something we should get involved in or not?" asked Timmy.

Brandon said "we should let them talk it out..."

Just then, Riven felt a cracking and locking of his jaw. The discomfort came from Musa's fist. She punched him so hard that no one dared to step in to break it up.

Brandon looked at the others nervously "or maybe not!"

After that first blow from Musa, Riven got closer to her. He couldn't control his actions any more; it was so hard to restrain him.

"BREAK IT UP GUYS!" Sky shouted

Timmy apologised to Musa "he can be quite difficult to deal with at times, sorry Musa".

Helia told her that Jared was waiting for her by the tree, just in front of the stadium. And then the boys left to join the others who were taking Riven away.

They caught up with Brandon and Sky who were holding on to Riven and were taking him back to his dorm. –he's been getting dragged around quiet a lot lately.

Meanwhile just off the campus a bike just pulled over. It was Jared. Musa stormed off to his bike without giving Riven a second look.

Later that day...

"Weird place for talking, don't you think" Musa wondered why Jared decided to take the two of them into the enchanted forest.

Jared looked a little hesitant at first "you said to talk 'in private' isn't that what you wanted"

"Sorry, I didn't mean..." Musa attempted to apologise.

"Mean what?! Fucking leaving me waiting for you?! Then you can't appreciate the effort I make to talk to you!?" He ranted.

"Jared..." Musa kept getting cut off. He got mad pretty quick!

"No! Fuck you Musa! You made a huge mistake. Do you know what your problem is?! You don't appreciate what you have in front of you! Your getting a princess ball, wealth, you get guys, nice guys falling for you! And you're real stupid for throwing it all away over a hood rat like Riven?! I mean Riven?! Really?!" Jared followed his ranting with a wakeup call which leads Musa to saying that he was starting to sound a lot like her dad. Jared's reply was

"...well you know what! He's right. Your just 18, you don't know any better."

Musa came back with a sarcastic remark "yeah like you know any better. And who are you to judge my choices. Riven and I are...it's complicated. You wouldn't get it."

Jared halted his hysterics and tried to breathe through his frustration with this hot blooded fairy. "Musa, I understand clearly. And I'm not judging, I'm just stating the facts. And don't dare say I don't get it because Riven is just as worse. A 19 year old meat head and still has an ego too large for his own wind-rider to carry".

Musa sighed and found it in her to calm down "you know what. I didn't come here to argue, Jared. My main point of being here was to say sorry for last night. That's all. I just wanted to explain what happened".

Suddenly Musa felt a sharp pain viciously shooting into her back. Someone had interrupted the conversation. But who?

So that's it for now. Let me know what you want happening in chapter 7. I always love to hear new idea's, I'm very open to constructive criticism! Thank you so much for you support, I'm touched! Please R+R as you do and I will see you in the next one. Xx
