Chapter 5
"Flora you are under arrest for the murder of Jerome." One of the police men said as he started to walk into the house. Flora backed away, protecting Miele's body with her own.
"But I didn't murder him."
"All evidence proves that you were at the scene of the crime and that your fingerprints were on the murder weapon. I need you to come with us."
"Did you really do it Flora?" Miele's small voice asked, making Flora look down for a moment and one of the guards grab her arm, pulling her towards the others. "Flora!" Helia yelled, rushing forwards and pushing one guy down using his shoulder as the others all exited the house. Two others managed to grab her as Miele's eyes filled with tears.
The others weren't sure of what to do. Some of them even had doubts about whether Flora was innocent of not. Musa stepped forwards, blasting one of the others who had a hold of one of Flora's arms, releasing the nature fairy enough to use her magic to create a sinkhole under the others feet. After he was buried up to his waist she felt another attack hit her, sending her to the grass below.
"You killed him!" Tethys yelled, rising her hand. "And if you won't face justice then I will kill you myself."
"No, you need to stop this and believe me. I didn't kill Jerome." It didn't work, Tethys shot a blast from her hands straight towards Flora but just before it hit Sky ran forwards and blocked her body with his own. "Sky!" Bloom called, defending herself against another of the guards while Stella attacked him from behind.
"Tethys you are blinded by hatred, you need to think things through clearly!" Flora exclaimed when Tethys moved her glowing hand in Miele's direction and fired. "NO!"
Riven ran forwards, scooping the child into his arms and dodging the blast just in time. Musa created another shield as Tecna added her magic to protect them from another onslaught. "We need to get out of here," Tecna celled to Timmy who began locating their ship and getting its coordinates organized. He jumped over the spear strike from another guard before stepping backwards to miss another. "Where will we go?"
"Back to Alfea!"
Flora held her hands open before her, ready to create a shield if the need arose. She looked deeply into her friend's eyes, desperately hoping that she would be able to talk some sense into her, to make her see the truth. But she saw conviction in those pupils. Those eyes had seen something that they would never forget and ever the words of a friend would never be able to change them.
"Tethys-"
"No," she replied. "I'm sick and tired of your likes. I always knew that you had a thing for Jerome but…I thought that you would respect our relationship more."
"What are you talking about?" Jerome is just a friend."
"Right so you sleep with all your friends!" The all stopped, the girls, the guards, the guys. Everyone stopped and turned to see her. As far as they all knew she was a virgin. Helia's eyes widened and his breath caught in his chest.
"You slept with him?"
"No," Flora shook her head. "No I never did."
"Yeah you did, right before you killed him," Tethys replied. "I saw the two of you and my eyes didn't deceive me Flora!"
"I never slept with him! I wouldn't do that to you and I never liked Jerome that way."
"No but he liked you!" Tethys screamed. "He always talked about how much he missed you and how much he wished you were here with us on Linphea. I knew that it wasn't so we could all hand out together."
"I-" Flora looked to see Riven holding Miele in his arms, confusion written all over her face. The guards returned to their positions, attacking the others while the two of them stared down.
"I hope he was good Flora because that's the last lover you will ever have!" A beam emitted from Tethys hands that was so strong if forced her back. Flora braced herself, wondering if this would be the end when a green sword appeared before her. Brandon braced against the beam holding if off.
"Timmy let's get out of here!" He announced. The red haired specialist nodded as Bloom, Musa, Tecna, Stella and Aisha combined their magic together knocking the remaining guards out cold. Aisha looked to Tethys to see that she too had been knocked out from the attack.
"Well come on guys let's get back to tell Faragonda what's happening."
"And we better do it fast!" Stella pointed, another line of guards were coming their way.
Flora ran towards Riven and lifted Miele into her arms, running with the others towards the ship, everyone ignoring the confused stares of people as the passed. With Sky sandwiched between Brandon and Riven they reached the ship and entered.
Timmy flicked the controls, checked the navigations while Helia initiated the flight sequences and checked the air space.
"Ready," he commanded. Timmy nodded, turning a dial and lifting the ship off the ground before it sped off into the distance. Flora looked out of the window as Miele cried into her shoulder. They would never be able to return home after that.
It was a beautiful day in Magix as the Trix walked through the street. "Well this is boring," Darcy sighed. "Why are we even here?"
"Just to kill some time," Icy explained as they walked past a local restaurant. Stormy absently looked into the window and stopped walking suddenly.
"Icy can't we just go grab some ice-cream or something?" Darcy asked, "Right Stormy?" "Stormy?" She stopped walking and turned to see her sister leaning against the window, peering through the glass. "What the hell are you doing?"
"Hey check this out." She waved the others over and they all looked in to see Flora sitting inside at a table. "This will be fun," Icy smiled.
The three witches entered the shop and walked over to where a brunette was enjoying her piece of strawberry cake. The fairy looked up at the three witches with her sunglasses still on her face.
"Hey loser, you and your friends argue or something?" Icy asked as she sat down across the table from Flora.
"No, why?"
"Not like one of you little Winx to go unaccompanied," Stormy responded from the wall that she was leaning against.
A small smile grew on Flora's lips as she looked at the three witches on the other side of the table from her.
"Now sisters what are we going to do with little miss nature?" Icy asked as she knocked the cake on the floor.
Flora turned her head to look at the cake that was on the floor. After looking at the ruined desert she turned her vision back toward the three laughing witches.
"You know you should not have done that," Flora calmly said as her vision settled on Icy, "This was the only place that I found that served home made strawberry cakes."
"Well what are you going to do about it?" Icy asked with a laugh, "It's not like your flowers can beat us alone."
As the witch of Ice continued to laugh with her two sisters she felt a blast of magic hit her in the chest before she went flying across the room of the restaurant. Icy landed on a table with a smash making those sitting around it separate into different directions. One of them offered to take Icy's hand and help her up but she swatted it away with a groan. Then a flan; beautifully made with a biscuit base and full of custard with crème on top fell straight onto her head with a slap, causing the mixture to poor down her face.
Stormy and Darcy wiped tears from their eyes, their arms around their abdomens as they laughed until their ribs were sore. Icy stood to her feet, took the flan into her hand and threw it onto the destroyed table before casting a spell to remove any last traces of cream, custard or caramel and hurried forwards. "You are going to pay for that fairy."
Flora calmly sat in the chair as she watched Icy rushing toward her and lifted her right hand in front of her. When Icy neared the table Flora flicked her wrist up, this caused vines to sprout out of the floor of the restaurant below where Icy was sending her flying up into the ceiling of the room. Both Stormy and Darcy watched as the vines receded back into the floor. They both looked up to see Icy imbedded in the ceiling of the restaurant.
A few seconds later Icy fell from the ceiling landing on the floor with a loud thud. The other two witches rushed over to where Icy had landed before they turned their visions back to a giggling Flora.
"I told her that she should not have done that to my cake." Flora replied as she continued to giggle.
"You know I have had enough of you," Stormy said as she raised her hands toward Flora, "Voltage Slam!"
A large amount of electricity flew from Stormy's hands and headed toward the fairy sitting not far away. As the large amount of electricity neared Flora lifted up a glass of tea and began to drink before a wall of flames appeared and deflected the attack into one of the nearby tables igniting it.
"What was that?" Darcy asked as she looked at fairy sitting in the chair.
"I don't know," Stormy said as she looked around, "Maybe her friends are here somewhere."
"I'm sorry to inform you but there is no one else here as you can see." Flora said as she stood up from the chair that she had been sitting in.
"Then where did that fire come from?" Stormy demanded.
"You're not Flora," Icy responded as she started to stand up from the floor before coughing up some blood.
"Give the winner a prize," Flora responded as she began to clap.
"Then who are you?" Stormy asked as she looked at the fairy standing before her.
A wicked smile grew on Flora's face as she looked at the three witches and two balls of fire slowly grew in her hands. Icy and Stormy stared at the dancing flames when they were suddenly sent flying directly into their chests. The force of impact was so strong it sent them through the window of the restaurant and out onto the street where other patrons scampered away. Darcy began to turn away from Flora but was stopped when vines grew out of the floor around her arms and legs.
"I'm not done with you," Flora said as she walked toward the trapped witch.
Darcy glared at Flora as she began to build dark energy in between her two hands. Before she could send the blast toward Flora her arms where pulled apart causing the energy to dissipate.
"Can't have you do try and attack me now," Flora said with a giggle, "Not when I want to talk."
Flora walked over to the shattered window and a smile appeared on her face. Removing her sunglasses she looked at the two unconscious witches with her single jade and single cyan eye.
"Silence Wall" Flora said as she turned back towards Darcy.
A think pink wall of energy appeared near the broken window. As Flora neared the trapped witch she used her powers to turn her around to look directly at her.
"Now we have some privacy." Flora said as she stopped a few feet away from the witch of darkness.
Flora stood there looking at Darcy from head to toe as a smile slowly grew on her face. Darcy was able to force her hands together to send a blast of dark energy in the direction of the fairy standing before her. A smile grew on the witches face as the energy hit the fairy causing a small explosion that covered the area with smoke. A few seconds later Darcy could feel the vines around her arms and legs loosen.
"With that I would believe that you don't like me," A voice whispered from behind Darcy.
Darcy turned to her left only to feel the vines tightening around her arms and legs again freezing her in place to see Flora standing in front of her.
"Who are you?" Darcy asked as she looked at the fairy.
The fairy cupped Darcy's chin in her left hand and moved her face from left to right to examine the witches face, "My name is Tamara."
"What do you want with me?" Darcy demanded.
"You know what?" Tamara asked as she looked at the witch, "You sure are cute."
"You didn't answer my question!" Darcy said with anger in her voice.
"I can have so much fun with you." Tamara responded with a seductive voice as she moved her face closer towards Darcy's.
Darcy tried to pull away from Tamara but felt when their lips touched. A feeling of energy rushed through the witch's body as her eyes closed. When she felt the pressure of Tamara's lips remove from her own Darcy slowly opened her eyes to look directly into the mismatched eyes of the fairy only inches away.
A smile grew on Tamara's face as she started to back away from the captured witch. Before Darcy could say anything the vines that were holding the witch in place released her, letting the witch collapse to the floor. Darcy looked up to see Tamara turn away from her and begin to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Darcy asked as she looked at the back of Tamara.
"Nowhere in particular, but we will see each other soon my beauty." Tamara responded without looking back.
After Tamara walked out the door Darcy slowly raised her right hand to her lips and could feel heat in her cheeks. A sound from behind her caused Darcy to turn her vision, to see Icy and Stormy slowly climbing back into the restaurant.
"Where did that little nature fairy go?" Icy asked as she looked at the room before her.
"What happened to you?" Stormy asked as she looked at the witch still on the floor with reddened cheeks.
"None of your business," Darcy replied as she slowly stood up and looked at the door that Tamara had just walked out of.
