Chapter 3:
"Flora, another one's coming!"
"Got it!" I quickly flew over to the young raven-haired fairy. She looks familiar, I think she's from Melody.
"I need to go out there… My friends, I need to fight with them," the fairy demanded. She had a little fire in her eyes, and I admired her. Somewhere in the distance, an explosion went off, and I snapped back into reality.
"No can do, young lady! Look at these wounds! What you need is some medication and a lot of rest!" I then firmly guided her to a free bed and started to work my magic.
"Breath of life!" A strong pulse radiated off of me and into the fairy's injured body. I saw her wounds start repairing themselves and soon, the major ones were almost all healed. I got her some water and some pain relievers.
'Musa! Are you ok?" a red-head came barging through the door.
"Bloom!" Her face instantly brightened, and I smiled as I silently wished them the best. "May your friendship last through everything," I silently thought to myself. "Flora, have a 30 minute break!" the head nurse yelled. I looked around, and saw that things have calmed down, so I gladly took her offer.
I opened the door from the nurse's office and ran smack dab into Helia, who was waiting right outside of the door. "Ow…" we both mumbled while rubbing our heads. I looked at him and madly blushed. "Why aren't you fighting?" I questioned once I regained my common sense.
"Oh…" He looked around nervously. "Um, I am supposed to be watching over you after all…" He clutched his face right after he said that, and I could feel my cheeks burning up. "Mmm," I nodded. "How about we go and help… together?" This time it was me who hid my face as I sped up my steps a little.
We walked together in silence, no doubt pondering over our previous conversation. We finally reached the location of battle: The Alfea Archives. It held the most powerful and ancient spell, which were basically priceless. Whoever invaded must've wanted more power, and that was no doubt a bad sign for Alfea.
Me and Helia bursted into the room, and saw a hooded figure, standing in the middle of all the chaos. I couldn't see his face very well, but I could tell he was in a weakened state. It made sense, since he probably came here to become more powerful. The fairies and specialists were surrounding around the what seems to be man and were attacking with all their might. I start to transform, but right as I was about to finish, his gaze pierced my eyes, and I couldn't complete the transformation. This man had bewitchingly beautiful purple eyes that seemed to glow in the dark room.
Before I knew what was happening, he leaped over to where I stood and grabbed me by the waist. He flew over to the top of Alfea and then glared at his pursuers. "Attack me and I kill the girl," he threatened. He pressed a blade up against my neck and the whispered close to my ear, "Don't move." His voice tickled and sent a chill down my spine.
I glanced down and saw Helia with a panicked face. He was gesturing to the people about to attack to drop their weapons and to untransform. His eyes held so much fear and his eyes met mine. His face twisted in agony and I forced my to look elsewhere.
Once everyone stopped attacking, a sinister smile appeared on his face. "Seth. Remember that name!" He turned around and paused. "Oh, and I'll be taking this little missy as well."
Carrying me over his shoulder, this new and mysterious villain flew off. Although, he did not seem like much of a villain to me. From up close, you could easily tell how strained his smile was, and how gently he carried me.
