Chapter 7

"Flora what have you done?"

"Nothing…I…just got here myself."

Sky ran past her and to his friend, removing his phantoblade and beginning to cut down the vines to release him. Brandon was strung up with his arms bent behind him. His elbows and forearms were a complete mess and Sky could see they had been twisted into a direction they should not normally be in. Each tiny thorn along the vines sunk into his skin, causing cuts all over his body which bled, small droplets of blood fell from his hands and legs. His legs were also wrapped tightly through Sky nearly threw up when he saw that two larger ones were penetrating straight through the young specialist's knees. Finally, around his neck, was a thin vine covered in razor sharp thorns. Releasing the vine closest to his neck he turned to Flora. "What are you waiting for? Don't just stand there, help me!" Flora was frozen to the spot. She didn't move.

"Flora!" Sky yelled.

Tears began to flow from Flora's eyes as she tried to move. She tried to open her mouth to say something but as her lips moved nothing escaped the confines of her throat. Turning back toward his friend Sky slowly and carefully cut Brandon free from the vines, making sure that none could dig any deeper into him then what had already.

After helping his friend to the ground Sky turned to look at the still shocked Flora. "Flora, why did you do that to him?" The young fairy turned to look at Sky with tears falling from her eyes. "I didn't do that to him."

"Listen Flora you know as well as I that no other nature fairy could get close enough to Brandon to do that to him." Sky said as he took a step toward Flora, "You told me that Brandon tried to kiss you but is this really the right reaction-"

"What?"

"What do you mean what?"

"I…never told you that."

"Yeah you did," Sky replied. "You called me, your ID came up, and you said that Brandon was trying to hurt you so I came here."

"But I don't have my phone," Flora explained, taking Stella's out of her pocket. "My phones back at Alfea charging so I have been using Stella's. I don't know how someone called you with my phone."

Sky didn't look convinced. He looked into her eyes for a moment before placing his phone to his ear and calling the ambulance.

"Sky what are you doing?"

"I'm calling an ambulance, and then the cops."

"But I haven't done anything wrong," Flora debated. "I only got here myself and saw him."

"No, you are the one who hurt him and now you are using an excuse of my phone is back at the school charging as a cover up. Who else would possibly do this Flora? You're the only nature fairy powerful enough to do this, you called me, I heard your voice on the phone giving me a motive and now you are lying. You wouldn't even help me when I asked you to. That screams guilty to me."

Flora looked to the ground; she had to admit that the evidence was slowly mounting against her. Sky turned his back and proceeded to organize the ambulance and she decided that there was no point in sticking around. She needed to prove her own innocence and the only way to do that was to go and get her phone from the school. When Sky turned back around Flora was gone and he sighed. "Guilty."

Flora never noticed the pair of eyes watching everything that was happening as she ran by. A smile grew on the face of the person watching. 'Run my dear Flora,' Tamara thought as she watched Flora running off into the distance, 'you have so much power that you do not know about but you need to break all the bonds that are holding you back before you can obtain it.'

'And I am the one that will help you discover all that power inside of you.' Tamara thought as she started to walk away from where she was standing.

Tamara walked back past the alley just as the ambulance arrived. Sky noticed her walking past. "Flora!" he called, reaching his hand out and touching her shoulder. She turned quickly, releasing a blast of magic from her hand that sent Sky flying into the ambulance. Spectators ran to his aid though he pushed the away, watching Flora walking though the crowd humming a song to her self.

Flying high above the city three witches were looking for the person that had attacked them at the restaurant. Icy was furious that a single fairy had beaten all three members of the Trix alone.

"That pixie will pay for what she did to us." Icy said through gritted teeth.

As they continued to search Darcy's vision began to blur, before a humming sound started to fill her ears. "Do either of you two hear that?" She asked.

"Hear what?" Stormy asked.

"A humming sound." Darcy replied

"You're hearing things again." Icy retorted.

Darcy shook her head before flying down toward the city of Magix. "Where do you think you're going?" Stormy yelled out as she followed the witch of darkness.

Arriving at her destination Darcy landed on the ground outside a building with a line of people waiting to enter. The other two witches landed behind her and looked up at the lit sign. Icy turned her vision back toward the doors of the building to see a pair of large men stopping Darcy from entering into the night club.

"Let us through," She demanded.

"Not until the boss says so," one answered when the door crept open suddenly and Tamara stepped outside. "Let these three in boys. But keep the line at bay."

"Yes Mistress," they replied, letting the three witches pass by as the others in the line yelled and booed at their ability to skip the line. "So…what can I do for you ladies?"

"You can pay for what you did to us earlier!" Icy yelled as she shot a blast of energy at Tamara.

It hit her back, sending her flying through the room before she landed on one of the tables, making the patrons' run from the broken pieces of wood. Slowly standing up Tamara turned to glare at the witch that attacked her. Stormy smiled before she watched the fairy stand on the broken table, a small trickle of blood running down Tamara's forehead. Raising her hands she began to build up her own energy to attack the fairy but before she could another release hit her in the chest. She flew backwards into one of the dance floor columns, sending others screaming out the nightclub doors and into the street.

Stormy slowly pushed herself up off of the ground to see Darcy running to the side of the fairy.

"Are you okay?" Darcy asked as she lifted Tamara's hair to check the cut.

"Yeah I'll be fine," Tamara responded.

"What do you think you're doing?" Icy yelled.

"What does it look like I'm doing? Helping her." Darcy replied as she glared at Icy.

"And why exactly?" Icy asked as Stormy nodded, "Yeah have you lost your mind!"

"No." Darcy replied as she turned her vision toward Tamara, "I love her."

"You what!" Both Icy and Stormy yelled.

"I love her." Tamara smiled before leaning in, placing her right hand against the witch's cheek and pressing her lips against hers. Darcy closed her eyes, enjoying the moment before they parted.

"Now ladies if you will follow me we can get down to business." Tamara replied as she looked at the other two witches.

"Wait who are you?" Stormy asked.

"Let me introduce my self," Tamara smiled, "My name is Tamara."

After whispering something to one of the other people near by Tamara guided the three witches up to the manager's office high above the dance floor. Walking over to the chair behind the desk Tamara took a seat. Darcy quickly walked behind the chair that Tamara had sat in and began to rub her shoulders.

Icy and Stormy slowly walked over to the other two chairs in the room and sat down watching as Tamara slowly leaned into Darcy's left arm as she continued the massage. After a few moments of silence Icy opened her mouth.

"What did you do to Darcy?"

"I did something but it's nothing you need to be worried about." Tamara replied, "You should actually be happy that your sister has found love."

"Darcy's fallen for plenty of knuckle-head's in the past including a specialist that's not worth mentioning. So you aren't that special."

"Yes I know that she was dating Riven at one time." Tamara said with a smile on her face, "But even you should know that Puppy dog had no chance of satisfying Darcy's unique desires."

"Wait, how do you know that she dated Riven?" Stormy asked with a shocked voice, "Let alone why do you look like Flora?"

"That is none of your concern. What we should be focused on is our little business deal."

"What deal?" Icy asked.

"The one that lets you finally beat the Winx girls."

What Tamara had just said, peaked the interest of ice witch. "What type of plan do you have?"

"First I have a little test that will prove if I should help you out or not." Tamara replied.

"What type of test?" Stormy asked as she slammed her hands down on the desk.

"Nothing too difficult," Tamara explained as she removed a small pink phone from her pocket, "I just need you to take this phone back to Alfea and place it in the dorm of the Winx girls."

Tamara smiled as Icy and Stormy walked out of the room before turning to look at Darcy.

"Do you want me to go with them?" Darcy asked as she looked into Tamara's mismatched eyes.

"No I just want to figure out how we are going to pass the time while they are gone." Tamara replied before kissing the back of Darcy's right hand.

After returning to her room to find her phone, unsuccessfully, Flora walked down the Hospital's white corridors towards the Intensive Care Unit. Upon arrival she saw the others standing around the main doors, one giant gathering of people. Sky turned on his heel and pointed a threatening finger in her direction. "You have a hell of a lot of nerve showing up here after what you've done."

Calm down, Sky," Helia instructed stepping between the blonde and his girlfriend. "Is it true? Did you do that to Brandon?

"No," she shook her head. "Of course I wouldn't."

"Then what was he doing meeting you in Magix?" Sky asked, "And why were you the first one to see him? And why did you call me?"

"I didn't call you! I already told you someone must be setting me up! I didn't hurt Brandon. I was supposed to meet him in Magix to help him shop for something for Stella. But I was running late because of Miele and my phone's battery was dead so I took Stella's with me. Look its right here," she removed the small orange phone from her pocket and Sky snatched it, looking through its recent call list. As he neared the end he began to laugh. "Is this a joke to you?"

"What are you talking about-" Sky pulled out his own phone and revealed the recent incoming call list, the sight caused Flora's breathing to increase in speed as her lips quivered. "See you've been caught."

"Sky, stop it," Bloom urged.

"No!" He yelled. "She nearly killed him, she nearly killed me and she is the one responsible back on Linphea. I wasn't sure about it before but I damn well am now! She's a murderer!"

"No she's not!" Helia yelled, defending his girlfriend. "Look we don't know what happened; one she and Brandon would. He will be able to tell us when he wakes up."

"If he wakes up!" Sky snapped, punching a wall before walking down the hallway. Riven placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's better if I go." He followed out of sight as Musa and Tecna exchanged a glance.

Flora didn't know what to say, what to do. Not one of them would meet her eye, not even those who had defended her before. All the evidence pointed to her guilt and she had no idea how. Flora hadn't hurt a fly but the entire world was crashing around her. Tears escaped her eyes but not one offered to hug her, to hold her or even offer a comforting word. "What happened to all my friends?" She asked.

"You betrayed them," Stella's voice spoke as she stepped out of the room. "Go Flora… go and never come back."

"But Alfea is my home, I can't go anywhere else."

"I don't care!" Stella yelled. "I don't care where you go or what you have to do just get the hell away from us! Before anyone else is hurt or killed!" She looked to the floor before lifting her head, waiting for them all to look towards her. "Fine, I'll go," she turned around but stopped, keeping her composure for a moment, before looking over her shoulder. "But you will learn the truth one day and when you do…I hope it's not too late." Flora walked down the hallway, past a furious Sky and questioning Riven.

Appearing on the balcony of the Winx dorm Stormy and Icy looked into the room to check if the coast was clear. Slowly placing her hand on the handle Icy opened the door before walking into the room.

"Let's just place this phone back and get out of here." Icy said as she removed the small pink phone from her pocket.

Just as Icy was about to walk toward Flora's room the sound of a door closing caused the two witches to turn their vision toward Tecna and Musa's room. "I thought that no one was here." Stormy said as she looked at the door.

"You go and check it out while I put this back." Icy replied.

Stormy entered the room and immediately noticed a small mound in the middle of one of the beds. Walking over to the bed she pulled the covers to reveal a scared Miele looking at her with fear in her eyes.

A smile grew on the witches face as she looked down at the young girl. Grabbing Miele's arm and twisting it behind her she forced the young fairy out of the room to where Icy was waiting.

"I see that we had someone else here." Icy said as Stormy entered the room.

"Yeah, and she's coming with us so no one know that we were here." Stormy said as she tightened her grip on the young fairies arm.

Miele tried to struggle and break free from the witch's hands, but a dark mist surrounded her and the two witches leaving the single flower from her hair falling to the floor.

All eyes of the school followed her as she made her way back to the dorm and there, sitting on her bedside table, attached to the wall charger where she had it before, was her phone. The phone she hadn't found before. Checking through the logs of usage she found they had all be deleted, not a single trace of evidence left for her to prove her innocence lay inside. "Miele!" She called, removing her suitcase and beginning to pack. "Miele, sweetie we have to go…we'll find a new place in Magix or transport somewhere safer." She explained, emptying her draws but she still didn't hear a sound. "Miele!" She walked out of her room, checked the dorm, looked from one side to another but there was still no sign of her. Until she saw the single flower her sister loved to keep inside her hair, resting on the ground by the window. She ran outside looking around, wondering what had happened when there was only one conclusion.
