"Shhhhh Flora, honey it's all going to be okay. Just wait and see."

"No its not, they are going to come looking for me, then the cops will get me... they think I murdered that man when I didn't. I only have two choices stay here or leave and spend the rest of my days in jail... I just wished could have had a normal life."

The ship flew across the sky heading towards their destination, Linphea. The girls were sat in the ship while the Specialists flew the ship. "So where about on Linphea are we going?" Stella asked, "I need to plan my outfit accordingly."

"Stella we have more problems to deal with other than what clothes we should be wearing."

"I'm sorry but you know how I am when I am worried?" Stella whimpered.

"Stella, honey bear. Everything is going to be alright" Brandon replied as he tried to calm her down while flying the ship.

The ship was silent for a second before Timmy spoke up, "What are the coordinates Tecna we are approaching Linphea."

"I'm sending them to the ships computer now; it should only take about twenty minutes to get there."

"Okay girls let's get ready to fid Flora and figure out what the hell is going on." Layla spoke as she redone her laces up on her boots.

Flora fell to the floor, as the loud alarm blared through the base, she sat up using her bed for support as she looked up to the flashing red light in the corner of her room. "What the..." However, before she could say anything else her door burst open and there stood in the doorway was Riller.

"Come on Flora get up this isn't a drill, there is a ship coming towards us we have to evacuate."

Upon hearing this Flora stood up and began to get dressed not caring that Riller was still in the room after all they were both girls.

"So what's happening?"

"I don't know, there is a ship heading our way and asking for permission to land, I was told to come and get you while everyone is evacuating we have to go see him for our next instructions."

"Damn it alright... are you staring?" Flora questioned as she turned around wearing a pair of black jeans and only a black bra.

Riller swallowed loudly "umm no, yes, err oh come on Flora, you know I still care about you. I knew as soon as you went to that Fairy school you would forget all about me. In addition, you did, you came back and not even a kiss. It hurt you know, you come back saying how brilliant this Helia fella is, you forgot I even existed."

Flora stood in silence, not sure of what to say. Riller was right; she forgot her own girlfriend even existed. "I waited for any contact from you, a text; a letter anything but nothing ever came. The hardest day of my life was when I snuck out to Alfea just to see you, only I see you snogging the face off some dude. Now I know that or some missions we have to do these things but the look on your face and the sounds coming from your throat told me that you were enjoying it too much. I thought that when you came back you would have forgotten him; obviously, he can give you something I never could... I will meet you in his office." And with that Riller left.

Flora fell to the floor tears falling from her eyes, "Oh my God!" She could not believe what she had done, whom she had forgotten so easily. Forcing her feelings of guilt aside she stood to her feet and continued to get dressed before racing down the corridors avoiding all of the people evacuating the building. Within minutes she was stood in the office staring at the one man who both ruined and saved her life.

She tried to catch Riller's attention but the girl just kept ignoring her, her eyes fixed upon the master. "I need you two girls to stay behind and take care of the intruders while the rest of us escape to the second base, I want each and every one of them dead. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes Sir" both Flora and Riller replied in unison,

"Sir Do we know how many we are expecting and how armed they are?"

"I'm afraid we don't Riller that is what makes it so unusual usually they request permission to land but these have not yet asked, which is why we believe that they are not here to just talk. We need to take care of them before they take care of us."

"But Sir…"

"No buts Flora, we have to protect our family, and I need to know whether you will do that?"

It was silent for a few seconds as Flora thought the situation over in her head, "Yes Sir, I can." She hung her head low as she could do nothing but admit defeat in the situation.

"I know you don't like hurting people but this has to be done for our family. Those kids out there, they look up to you. They see you as their mother, they look to you for protection, and they love you. Don't mistreat that Flora, don't. You may go now, head to the armoury and suit up, they should be here within the hour, and the base will be empty by then. Good Luck girls and come back safe."

Flora was sat on the bench watching as Riller placed her hang on the print scanner, "I'm sorry…"

"Don't bother Flora, just forget about it..."

"How can I, I cheated on you. I love you…"

"And you love him. But who do you love more Flora. He won't like sharing you would he."

Flora stood up and gently took hold of Riller's arms pinning her to the wall, "Riller please, I love you Riller. I didn't mean to hurt you…"

Riller gently pulled away and looked deep into Flora's eyes, "Flora I love you, I never stopped loved you, but you forgot about me, I need to know do you still love me and why… why with him?"

"Riller baby when I got that mission I just wanted to be normal, I shut off the entire world of back here, I wanted to have normal friends, when Helia saved me from that monster everyone expected me to get with him. Then everything just went from there I just wanted to forget this life but I never meant to forget you. I love you Riller… I still do…"

"But you still love Helia. I love you Flora I'm not going to deny it, but you need to think about what and who you want. We better get suited up we have to do this."

Flora watched at Riller turned and looked into the panel she had just opened, there on a manikin was a leather suit, consisting of a jacket, t-shirt, a pair of trousers and a pair of boots. The t-shirt was plain white, while the jacket was a green army camouflage colour matching her army style boots and the grey camouflage trousers. Riller reached further into the panel and pulled out a gun holster and put it around her thigh, before putting another on the other side.

"Still love your guns!" Flora commentated softly as she watched her girlfriend put two small pistols into the holsters, and strapping a band of knifes around her chest.

"You know me Jade," She replied as she placed a slightly bigger rifle on her back and strapping numerous ammo to her body.

With a heavy sigh Flora moved over to another panel and placed her palm on it causing a panel to open up revealing her own costume and weapons. Her Jacket was leather matching with a pair of black jeans and a pair of biker boots, her t-shirt was the bases white colour. Unlike Riller her weapons were more traditional, she had a whip wrapped around her chest, a quiver of arrows on her back and she had metal bow dismantled attached to her thigh. She also had a couple of daggers attached to her waist for emergencies.

Seeing that Flora was all done, Riller closed her panel, "come on Jade, we better go and find out everything that we need to know." Flora silently followed Riller out of the room after insuring that her panel was securely closed, but not before grabbing a couple of masks off of the shelf by the door.

"Riller please, just let me…"

"Let you what Flora, tell me how you love me like you used to before you go back to Helia and forget about me once more… Just don't let's just sort this out then you can go back to your perfect life. You deserve the best." Riller took one of the plain black masks out of Flora's hands put it on and then left.

Flora sighed and wiped a single tear away from her cheek before she followed after Riller. She had to think about everything, who she wanted and who she truly loved. She sighed once more this is going to be the hardest decision of her life….
