When Flora gets off of Diaspro, she huffs as if she is the queen of the universe. Flora gets off the princess and goes to check on Romeo.
"You okay baby." She says softly as she rubs his head.
"That creature is not a baby. Where are your sisters?" Diaspro says as she gets up and picks up her bag.
"More importantly why are you sneaking around in my house?" Flora asks in a low growl.
"I was invited my Lily and Rose." Diaspro says as she shows Flora the invitation.
"Linus, I'm clear down stairs. Tell my sisters that a friend of theirs is here." Flora says as she reads the invitation before giving it back to her.
"You okay honey?" Julian says as he and his brothers come down the stairs with Linus and his father.
"Yes. Dad you remember Princess Diaspro from the war meetings." Flora says with a long sigh as she walks with Romeo up the stairs.
"Of course. Welcome to our home Princess. We only wished that you would have called us to let us know." Julian says as he held her hand lightly.
"It is good to see you as well. Where can I find Lily and Rose?" She asks politely.
"Upstairs in Flora's room. Linus will show you." He replies as he motions to Linus.
Linus, like Flora, can't stand Diaspro. She's just a more annoying version of her sisters. Flora goes to the door and unlocks it with her key. She pushes the door open and jogs over to Helia. He hugs her tightly, thankful that she is safe.
"Are you alright Flo?" Helia asks slightly worried.
"Yes. We have a house guest." Flora says as she kisses his cheek and motions to Diaspro.
Lily, Rose, and Diaspro scream in an excited and joyful tone as they ran to embrace each other. Bloom's face looks as if she is ready to kill her. When the girls separated, Diaspro's eyes look directly to Sky.
"Hello Sky. A pleasure seeing you here." Diaspro purrs softly.
"Diaspro. It's a pleasure to see you here as well." Sky lies with a small smile.
"And I see you are still with Bloom. It's nice to see you again Bloom." Diaspro lies while grinning at her.
"I wish I could say the same for you." Bloom admits honestly.
"D! Come see our room!" Lily screams while she takes her hand and they run off to her room.
You can hear their screams from down the hall. Flora groans loudly while she buries her face in Helia's chest. Helia lightly kisses her forehead and rubs her back.
"This is going to be a long week." Flora groans in his chest.
"It will be okay sweetie." Helia comforts her softly.
"Flora, we will be having dinner in a few. It's causal okay." Julian explains as he goes to kiss her forehead.
"Alright dad. Thanks." Flora says as she kisses his cheek.
The rest of her uncles, aunts, and her parents leave the room while Flora collapses on the bed with a loud groan. The girls chuckle lightly while they go to her side.
"It will be okay Flora. I'm sure of it." Musa says as she tries to sooth her upset friend.
"We better get ready." Bloom says trying to change the topic.
"Flo, someone is here to see you." Linus says as he returns to the room.
"Who?" Flora asks curiously.
"Angelis. (Angel)" Linus says with a small smile.
Flora smiles brightly while a small giggle while she gets up from the bed and runs to the door and down the stairs. The winx and specialist follow behind her only to see Flora in her panther form with another panther and they look as if they are playing together. They are jumping around each other, wrestling each other to the ground, and butting heads together affectionately. Both of them transform back into their human form.
The second panther was an African male with black hair and a buzz cut, dark color eyes, and a small thin cut on his cheek that looked years old. Flora wraps her arms around his waist and buries her face in his chest.
"Sed ut tam Anubis" (It's so good to see Anubis!) Flora cheers while she looks at him with happy eyes.
"Mirum mihi quoque videre lilium. Fuit diu." (It is wonderful to see you as well my rose. It has been too long.) Anubis says while placing a small kiss on her forehead.
"Odi imperitus est, quod facit ad aulam. Ego vos nescitis diem nibh." (I hate to be rude A, but what brings you to the palace.) Flora says with a slightly confused yet worried smile.
"Mallem nec loqui prae omnibus tibi dilectis. Ut dicemus in privatis?" (I would rather not talk about this in front of your friends. May we talk in private?) Anubis asks with a small smile while motioning to the guys.
"Quis negat. Non possumus initia cena. Non possumus diu. Prandium iam fore." (Of course. We can do the introductions at dinner. We can not take long. Dinner will be ready soon.) Flora says while going to kiss her boyfriend's cheek. "Save a seat for me sweetie, I'll be back in a few." She says while she walks back to Anubis and taking his hand to go upstairs.
"Who was that?" Brandon asks curiously.
"His name is Anubis. He is Flora's angel. He saved her from herself in a way. This was after the attack. We called him the angel since he saved her. He was her therapist, her trainer, her best friend. And for a while, a couple." Linus explains with respect in his voice.
"They were dating." Helia repeats as if it were a question.
"For a while. Their parents soon engaged them to be wed but they honestly didn't want that for several different remained best friends and soon he became her sponsor." Linus adds while he walks them to the dining hall.
"What do you mean sponsor?" Bloom asks.
"Just in political and...financial standpoints." Linus says while watching his wording.
"Is that the only way?" Helia asks slightly suspicious.
"Yes. I will go and check on Anubis excuse me." Linus dismisses himself quickly.
"Yeah that doesn't seem odd?" Riven says sarcastically.
"Flora did seem a little excited to see him." Musa notices.
"I'll ask her about it later." Helia says taking a seat while the family comes in the room.
"Where is Flora?" Sharon asks.
"She is with a man named Anubis Julian." Sky says respectfully.
"It's been awhile since Anubis has come to visit." Julian says with a slightly surprised look on his face.
"I wonder why he's here." Sharon asks becoming slightly curious.
"Your majesties, Anubis." Linus says as he comes back with Flora and Anubis.
"Hello Anubis. It's lovely to see you." Sharon greets while going to hug him.
"It's good to see you as well your majesty." Anubis says while he returns the embrace.
"What brings you to the palace my boy?" Julian says while he shakes his hand.
"I'm here to speak with Flora. I was just about to leave." Anubis says while motioning to Flora.
In all honesty, she didn't look happy. She seems to be a little confused and hurt. As Helia goes to hug her back, she slightly shrinks away from him.
"Later." She says to him softly while wrapping her arms around herself.
"Oh please Anubis we insist you stay for dinner." Sharon insists while giving him a stern look.
"If Flora is comfortable with that." Anubis says while looking at Flora with a questioning look.
"He can stay if he wants to." Flora said with a blank expression.
This is not like her at all. Flora is never cold to anyone, especially to someone nicknamed her 'angel'. I have to talk to her about it. I place my hand on her shoulder and motioned for her to follow me. She takes my hand into mine and leads me into the kitchen.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." Flora mumbled under her breath angrily.
"Flora." I said in a small warning voice.
"I do not want to talk about it." She repeated in an angry tone while giving me a stern look.
"But we need to." I said while giving her stern yet comforting look.
"What is there to talk about?" She asked with a long sigh of annoyance.
"You were fine until your friend Anubis had a chat with you. What is going on?" I demanded.
"It's complicated." She said bluntly while avoiding my eyes.
"Flora please, let me help you." I beg her while holding her chin lovingly.
"Helia please, I can fight my own battles." Flora said in a defensive tone.
"I'm not talking about fighting your battles. All I am asking for is to know what is going on." I explained while stepping back a bit.
"Let me handle this Helia. I don't want you involved for a reason." She explained while Linus walked into the room.
"Is this a bad time?" Linus asked sheepishly.
"What is it Linus?" Flora asked while trying to keep the irritation out of her voice.
"Drake is here. He wants to talk." Linus said as Flora's body stiffening while letting out a sigh.
"Can anything else go wrong today?" Flora muttered while she followed behind Linus. "Stay here." She ordered while she left.
Not even two seconds go by before her family and the guys and girls were forced into the room. Flora locked the door before slamming it shut.
"What the hell is going on?" Riven growled.
"I honestly have no idea." I said angrily while praying the she knows what she is doing.

Flora, Linus, and Anubis were face to face with Drake. Flora ordered the guards outside while they talked. Drake had his usual smirk on his smug face while Flora kept her stern face.
"What do you want Drake?" Flora demanded in an angry tone.
"Can't I come by to say hello." Drake taunted.
"What do you want? Talk! While you still have a jaw." Anubis ordered with a snarl.
"Down boy. I know about your little law. Giving women, married women and widows alike no less, their job back." Anubis said with a teasing tone.
"Is there a point?" Linus said while clenched his sword tightly.
"What would happen, my dear, if someone leaked it out to the public." Drake said with a Cheshire grin on his face.
"The council would never vote." Flora said in shock but keeping her voice even.
"You wouldn't. No, you would." Linus said in slightly surprised.
"You're bluffing." Anubis snarled at him while Romeo got into his pouncing stance.
"Don't test me boy." Drake said in a calm yet ordering tone.
"What do you want?" Flora asked keeping her tone soft yet firm tone.
"One million dollars. Tonight." Drake state with a small smirk.
"I always knew you were stupid but not that stupid." Linus said while chuckling.
"There is no way we can get you the money." Flora admitted honestly.
"Well then, have fun getting the bill passed." Drake said as he started to walk away.
"Stop." Flora said with a look of regret on her face.
"Yes my dear." Drake said as he turned to face her.
"We will get you the money, but, I need more time. Give me until tomorrow." Flora demanded while giving Drake a dark glare.
"Until tomorrow." Drake agreed as he started to walk out of hte room. "Oh and Flora, that boy toy of yours needs to watch out." Drake added before he walked out of the palace.
Flora clenched his fist and slams her hands into the table with a small angry shout.
"Flo breathe." Anubis said while he went to try and sooth her.
"We need a meeting now." Flora said as he went to let them out of the kitchen.
"Flora, who was at the someone heard the shouting." Helia asked.
"It was just Drake." Flora said with a small sigh of irritation.
"What! Are you okay!?" Helia and Julian asked while rushing to her.
"I'm fine. We need to talk." Flora said while she dragged Helia with her upstairs while the rest of the gang followed.
Her parents shouted for her but she simply walked to the war room and shut the door after everyone came in.
"It's time for you to know everything." Flora said with an honest look on her face.
