Chapter 5: A Power That Won't Come Back

Stella p.o.v

It was already twelve in the afternoon. But none of us bothered to wake Musa up. Because she was going through something so difficult we didn't want to wake her up and remind her of it. This was horrible. Her not having her powers. It's like asking me to live without the sun. My source of life. Without it I can't live long. But then again Musa has a strong heart. When her voice was taken away she was actually learning to live without it. Plus it isn't the first time her powers have been taken away. When her voice was taken away she was unable to transform. But she had hope in us. But now how can she have hope in us when we don't even have hope in ourselves. There is certainly no way to get Musa's powers back. We have been discussing it all morning. "But there has to be a way." I said to everyone as we were now sitting in Bloom's room and talking.

"I wish there was." Daphne said.

"Wait maybe there is." Bloom cut in.

"What Bloom?" Daphne asked.

"That necklace that Musa was given as a gift. The one that can grant a forbidden wish." Bloom explained.

"Oh yeah" We nodded.

"Lets use it."

"Okay them we will ask her when she gets up." Daphne said.

Musa p.o.v

The truth is I wasn't able to sleep at all. I kept having nightmares where the winx eventually left me in the end. Their faces were cold and their expressions were dark. As they said to me in every dream the words that will haunt me forever. 'We dont need you anymore'. I know it's just a dream and they would never say anything like that but it still haunts me to the core. I've been lying like this in bed since 6 in the morning and now it's even 12 but I didn't bother to get up. Nor did I wonder if the winx were going to come and get me. I'm just laying in my bed with the necklace around my neck and the bracelet around my wrist. I can't bare to look anywhere so I'm staring at the ceiling hoping that what happened had just been a really bad nightmare. But no every odd was against me. As I remembered the horrifying look on everyones face. And the way I felt like I had been drained of my life. My powers were my life. How can I go on this way?

I sat up. I looked down at my bracelet. All the jewels but one were glowing. Then I looked at my bracelet because one of them besides mine was glowing a lot. It was the orange heart. Like she was pacing back and fourth in front of my room. I got up and went over to the door. I opened it to reveal Bloom pacing back and fourth.

Then her footsteps stopped.

Blooms p.o.v

I looked at Musa standing at the door. "Oh Musa you're awake I was.." Before I could continue Musa was already hugging me. I just stood there silent, I was about to hug her back but she pulled away.

"Im sorry." She said looking back at me.

"No it's fine."

"Bloom..."

"Yeah?"

"Its fine if you guys don't want be to be in the group anymore."

I looked at her with eyes wide. "No, How could you even think that? No one wants you gone. Do you think we are only friends with you because you help us fight evil?" I questioned. How could she even think this?

She looked up at me. "Are you sure?"

"Yes Musa." I reached over to her and began whiping her tears. "Now let's get you washed up and we have something to discuss with you now."

Musa p.o.v

"Okay." I nodded.

Twenty minutes later we walked into Bloom's room.

"Darling we were so worried." Stella said as she came up to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Stella she just came. Let her sit down." Tecna wallked.

"Okay." She unwrapped her arms from around me.

I went and sat down with the rest.

No p.o.v

"So," Daphne began. "We did figure something out."

Musa's eyes widened. "You did?"

"Well sort of." Layla responded. "It depends on you."

Musa looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"That necklace you got. The one that you are wearing around your neck." Daphne pointed out. "It weilds quite strong power."

Flora nodded. "And if we use it..."

"No." Musa answered. She grabbed the necklace. "Its too dangerous. I'm fine this way."

Daphne protested. "But..."

"Its alright." Bloom cut Dapne off. "We will keep looking for a way."

"Yeah." Tecna nodded.

"Um Ok." Daphne smiled. "How about some breakfast? You must be pretty hungry."

Musa touched her stomach. "Yeah. I am pretty hungry." She smiled.

Tecna and Stella walked up to Musa and Tecna spoke. "Lets go then."

"And after this let's find us all some normal clothes to wear. I wanna go exploring." Stella added.

"Um Stella are you sure? Exploring means on foot." Musa asked.

"Of coarse. Yes." Stella nodded.

"Well that's a first." Tecna sarcastically added, to which everyone laughed.

An hour later the winx were standing in front of two entrances to a forest. They were sure it was safe because the king and queen had told them about it themselves.

"Um how about. Tecna, Stella and I go through this one." Musa pointed to the left entrance. "And you three the other entrance."

"Thats sound great." Flora responded. While the other nodded, happy that their friend was in a good mood, keeping in mind what had happened last time she lost her powers.

So they entered. "Wow this is beautiful." Stella said looking around. "It inspires me for a new dress." She made a notepad appear, copying down the design before she forgot it.

"And this place makes techno waves even smoother." Tecna responded to Stella.

Musa just looked at her friends and smiled. Her friends looked at her. "Oh." Musa realized. They probably wanted her to comment on something too. "The fresh air is wonderful. And the birds are singing the sweetest harmony."

Tecna and Stella smiled. "We are glad you like it as much as us." Tecna said.

"Me too." Stella agreed.

"Thanks for caring so much about me you guys." Musa said.

"Aww. Of course we care. Why wouldn't we? You are out friend. I care for you as much as I care for Tecna."

"And I may not be good with feelings but I really care about you too." Tecna and Stella were now standing in front of Musa.

"Thank you so much." Musa hugged her friends. " Now let's keep exploring."

After a couple of hours the winx arrived at the castle, to find the specialists waiting for them.

"Have fun?" Sky asked.

"Yes we did." Bloom responded.

"Thats good." Timmy added.

"Um Musa?" Nabu asked unsure.

"Yes?" Musa asked.

"Well we wanted to say something." Nabu answered.

Musa nodded. Assuring him to continue. Nabu looked at Brandon.

"Well this has to do with your powers. I know you guys I'm reminding her of them again, but this is very important." Brandon said.

"What is it?" Tecna asked.

"Well since she can't use powers, she still needs strength."

"Now you aren't making sense." Flora said.

"Well why don't you come and study and Red Fountain." Brandon finally said.

"Red Fountain?" Layla questioned.

"Yes. Because now we need to teach her to be a warrior. I mean no. Musa we aren't forcing you upon it. But to keep your physical strength, it's best you do this. Because foe now who knows how long your powers will be gone." Sky moved to stand in front of Musa. "And I'm sure they won't let you do anything on the missions and try to keep you safe because they care that much. But if they know you have the same strength as us then they won't. So why don't we prove them wrong?" Sky sure had ways of convincing.

Musa nodded. "I personally think it's a good idea. But a girl student at Red Fountain."

"Dont worry I got that covered." Helia responded.

"Well?" Brandon asked. "I can be your personal helper."

Musa looked back at her friends, who gave her reasuring nods and thumbs up. She turned back to Sky and nodded. "Yeah I'd like that."

A/N

Okay so all of you probably hate me. But last time when I uploaded two capters I did say my break was ending. Also I get so much homework. I finished a presentation a couple weeks ago, and now I have one due Monday. Wish me luck. I want want to personally thank all of you reading my slightly boring story and liking it.

Thank You-

Hope you liked this chapter. Sorry for not updating earlier. But Ive got some great ideas for the future. Your probably asking why Musa didn't use the necklace. But if she did a good part of the story would be cut out. Because she's going to use it for something else.

Thanks again. I love you all.

P.S I have no idea why I named the chapter that. T_T
