The Trix appeared in front of their master. "My master," Icy said. "Lord Darkar would like your help. He needs you to loan him the Dragon's Fire to…"
"It is not the Dragon's Fire he needs," their master interrupted.
"What?" Stormy asked surprised. "He does not need the Dragon's Fire?"
"No," their master said. "Last time the reason it worked with Bloom is because she possessed the ability to heal and no one can borrow any of my servants".
"So he needs someone with the ability to heal?" Darcy asked. "Where are we supposed to find a fairy with that power?"
"Listen to the winds," their master said. "Now go I don't want you in my sight anymore".
Sou felt a great sense of relief wash through her. "Oh yeah," she yelled. "Oh yeah, oh yeah". She felt the strong man's hands press against her back. "This massage feels so good. I defiantly owe Faregonda a big thank you when I get back to Alfea".
"Just relax," the massage therapist said obviously being one of the few that Sou didn't need a translator to communicate with. "Try to just let my hand release the tension in your muscles".
"Oh I'm relaxed," Sou said. "Just keep on doing what you're doing until the timer goes off". Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Sou yelled. The door opened and standing there was Andrew.
"Yeah later," he said. He turned around real quickly and walked back in the hall until Sou stopped him.
"Hold on," the wind fairy said. "You knock on my door, enter and just leave. What is the meaning of this?"
"I would rather not see you like this," he said looking at the ceiling. "I'm just looking for my wife".
"Across the hall," Sou said. "She's getting ready for her massage with Jacob here". She picked up the timer below her and read it. "Which is in about maybe fifteen minutes. I have five minutes left so just so you know I will be heading next door. Wanted to check something out there".
He was still looking at the ceiling when Andrew said "Okay so Jacob, make Alex feel uncomfortable and your head will be on my desk. Can I leave now? I'd prefer not to be in the same room with you when you are ninety-five percent naked. You know what; I'm just going to leave". The boy left the room and Sou lied there for a few more minutes until the timer went off. She rehooked her bra strap, got up and put her clothes back on.
"Time to go see if they have what I am looking for," she said. She ran next door and the first thing she did is she asked the cashier if anyone spoke English.
The guy started talking away and while he was talking Sou thought "Oh great, another person who is speaking freaking Latin". Thankfully she had picked some stuff up from Alex and Andrew.
"Velim ad loqui cum aliquis qui loquitur english," she said. The guy said something and yelled for an employee. A tall man with dishwater blond hair walked up to her.
"Can I help you miss?" he asked. "My name's Caesar after my ancient ancestor Gaius".
"My name's Sou and I was hoping you could help me find a book I could read".
"Oh you want something to read," Caesar said. "Of course, we have a wide variety". He led her into another room where the shelves were mostly empty. It wasn't exactly something Sou would describe as wide variety. There were maybe twenty books altogether and fourteen cases of rolled up scrolls and documents. Some looked familiar in some way. She wasn't sure how but she was sure she had seen them.
Sou picked up the first book and looked it over. The back and front were covered in dust. She blew on what seemed to be the front. There were a bunch of symbols and triangles on the front. Knowing she never would understand what it was saying she decided to flip through the book. It was still a bunch of the random stuff. She put it back and grabbed a second one. It read Diary on the front. She looked through the book and she could read about fifty percent of it. The first half was the symbols and pictures again but on the other half it was in a language she could speak.
Obviously the book was also as ancient as the last one because the pages had cuts on them. She looked at the other books and they too had different languages. "Geez, I knew this was an antique shop but why the hell does it have books this ancient. I mean literally, writing that is maybe thousands of years old; that is just weird". She started turning around and said "Oh well I will just take this…" She never finished her sentence when she noticed that a different person was standing in front of her. It was Melina.
"M…Melina," she said surprised. "W…what are you doing here?" The response she got was a blast that made her crash into the shelves. "Oh you want a fight? Fine, you have a fight. Magic Winx, Charmix".
Kayla, Alex, Kristina, Lanie and Andrew sat in the waiting room waiting on Stella to finish her massage. Each of the fairies had something distracting them. Alex was practicing another language by reading, Kristina was texting Jayden, Kayla was reading a magazine she had brought, Lanie was playing with the pixies in the corner and Andrew was sharpening his sword. He kept his mind on the sword so he didn't hurt himself but also had his ears and mind open.
He was on his final stroke when something caught his attention. It wasn't something he saw, it was something he felt and heard. He felt a small pain in his heart as if someone had sent a knife through it and he heard a bang. It was soft and no one else had heard it. He could tell he wasn't hearing things when he felt his ears twitched and feeling a pain in his heart again that wouldn't stop.
Lifting his head he whispered "Sou". No one was aware that he felt something was up until he stood up. He got Kristina's attention, which was next to him, when he stood up. He walked out the door and next door unaware that his friend was following him. Inside the antique shop he saw Sou gasping for air.
He turned around and leaned against the wall trying to become unnoticed. That was where he saw Kristina. "What are you doing here?" he mouthed.
"Seeing what you are doing," she whispered. Andrew held his finger to tell her to shush.
"What is happening?" Kristina asked this time not making a sound.
"Melina is apparently fighting Sou".
"Should we help her?"
"Hold on," he ordered. "Let me think". He thought about every nightmare that he and Kristina had over since they had met each other. He realized what the ones that had Melina and Darkar in it wasn't some normal dream. It was a warning that Melina would side with Darkar and what would happen if he got a hold of the Realix and the Titan's powers.
"Oh, shit," he mouthed. The dark fairy was about to transform when a portal was opened. Melina picked up the unconscious Sou that lied on the ground in a small puddle of blood and Sou's cell phone, stopped the bleeding, healed the wounds and stepped through the portal.
"Oh shit," both Andrew and Kristina said together as they watched the event unfold, this time out loud.
"It isn't you he apparently needed," Kristina said. "It was Sou".
"Yeah, apparently," Andrew responded. "Too bad I'm not going to let him have her". He jumped in the doorway and leaped through the portal quickly followed by Kristina each, unknowingly, dropping something.
Stella stepped through the door after finally finishing her massage. "I feel so relaxed," she said stretching her arms out over her head. "I wonder what the girls are up to". Walking down the hallway she stopped in the waiting.
The first thing she noticed was that there was only three of the Blitz. "Hey," she asked. "Where are Sou, Kristina and the boy".
Everyone looked up and noticed that Kristina and Andrew were missing. "I don't know," Minerva said. "Sou is next door but the other two were just here a couple minutes ago".
"Sou has been gone a long time though," Diana said. "How long does it take to get something from an antique shop?"
"Don't know let's check," Kayla said. Everyone stood or floated up and went next door to the antique shop. They didn't even make it through the doorway when they saw Kristina leap through a doorway. They all ran or flew towards where she was and witnessed a portal close.
"What happened?" Lanie asked seeing books everywhere.
"I can tell you what happened," a man said. "That bitch Medina, Molena".
"Melina?" Alex corrected confused.
"Yes, Melina, that's her name. That bitch Melina tied me up, attacked a girl named Sou, kidnapped her and a boy and a girl followed her through a portal.
"You don't think it was," Pandora started.
"Well Melina did say something about the girl serving a lord Darkar".
"Oh shit," Amore said. "First day of relaxation and problems have already started".
