Chapter Three: Summer Festival (Grad Night-Part 2)
Maurice (Twister) P.O.V.
'I wonder who could it be… let's see how Otto's doing since he walked out away from his two friends Sam and Keoni who left him to cool off,' I sighed knowing his best friend it's going to take a long time for Otto to forgive him for hiding this secret not knowing that Otto's and their friends are hiding secrets from one another.
Otto's P.O.V.
I was at the hidden spot that my dad held since he was as kid with Tito and sat down at the edge of the beach and just stared at the ocean. Neither of my friends knew I held a secret... I'm a werewolf but, half fairy thru my mom... I didn't even know that my mom was a fairy to begin with but, then again I guess there's a lot that I don't know about her ... even though Noelani my step mom told me some things about her it made me feel like I was connected to my mom somehow... and that made me happy a little. I knew it hurt my dad, my sister, myself including but, mostly Reggie though since she's the recantation of my mom but, has my dad's features mixed together.
I wouldn't admit it out loud but, that kiss that Clio gave me startled me and even now that kiss still tingled till now ... and I didn't know what to make of it ... I mean jeez... what if Twister finds out ... and if he did...would he be okay that me and Clio were together... I couldn't stop thinking about it ... not only that but, when I turned 13 years old it was when I learned I became a werewolf in every generation in my dad's side once you turn 13 you became a man which was difficult for me to control but, after a few weeks I got the hang of it but, that didn't stop me from having feeling things especially towards Clio. When Trish and I started dating things were okay with us until I became a werewolf.
It took a few weeks to control myself because Trish had this horrible scent that reminded me of garlic onions except they went bad and things just didn't work out between Trish and I because not only she reminded me of something… that was until my dad told me that Trish could be vampire after I explained what she smelled like. I blankly stared at my dad stating that vampires can't be real… and he's all telling me "Otto if werewolves, trolls, witches, wizards are real what makes you think vampires aren't real. Trust me Otto they're real why do you think we're not hanging out with Mr. and Mrs. Stimpletin like we used too," he told me. you can say I was too stunned to answer so I went back to my room to rethink what I should do about Trish.
Once I came back Trish and I got in another argument she stated that I was cheating on her with Clio and once again I got annoyed telling her off that left us not to talk for nearly 2 months because of it because we became to drift apart lately Trish and Clio don't get along at all the only reason they became friends was because of Reggie and now that she's not in Ocean Shores it would seem that Trish and Clio aren't getting along anymore.
Clio and I grew closer the minute she moved to Ocean Shores to stay with Twister and his family not only we were good friends but, I considered her one of my best friends so whenever Trish and I get in another argument mostly about Clio I get offended by the sneer comments that Trish would say about Clio that left me to snap at her it was the first fight Trish and I ever had and it was in front of our friends as we were starting high school at the time. Well for Twister and I was while Trish was in her sophomore year I think. I don't remember to be honest all I knew was that Trish was ticking me off whenever she starts shit about Clio.
At the time I didn't realize that my relationship with Trish was drifting us apart after 2 months on not talking I decided to talk to her about where our relationship stands that was until I found her cheating on me with Trent who just happened to be with my sister Reggie at the time. You can say it brought me to snap and punched Trent on the face not only for cheating on my sister again but, with Trish my girlfriend (well ex-girlfriend now). Trish tried to tell me it was nothing but, I was so pissed and hurt that I didn't want to hear it and broke up with her. Six months went by Trish decided that she wanted me back but, for me I didn't want to be back with her but, she told me she still loved me… I was very conflicted I mean I still had feelings for her then but, still… so I decided to give her another shot… boy was I an idiot… I decided to surprise her for our anniversary and what did I find Trish cheating on me again except with this other dude Brad who goes to a different school.
I call it my dark days … it took nearly took a year for me to move on from that… not only from Trish who's my sister's childhood best friend but, I felt cheated for even giving Trish another chance. By the time I turned 15 things started to change… Clio, Twisters and Lars cousin learned that her parents got in a car crash heading to the airport—they were on their way to Europe because Clio's dad got a promotion at his job so Clio decided to stay in Ocean Shores to continue her education while her parents are in Europe …they were instantly killed from a drunk driver—at least that's what Twister told me anyway; it's like my whole world stopped and I felt like I couldn't breathe… because no only that I can feel Clio's emotions across from my house but, it made me realize that I knew things are about to change between us.
During my break up with Trish I didn't knew that Reggie came back home under a week that left Reggie and Trish not to be best friends anymore. Clio was walking home to meet up with Lars and saw what happen and was surprised to see Reggie who was beating the crap out of Trish apparently my ex-girlfriend was full of cuts, bruised up, her hair was bald, her clothes were all ripped off, her skateboard was broken that you can see her face all messed up thanks to Reggie. Clio called Lars rambling in Spanish telling him what happen that it took Lars a few seconds to realize what she just told him and raced over to Clio until Lars heard Reggie's voice screaming her head off towards Trish.
[a year ago past flashback] …
"Do you really think I wouldn't find out what you did to Otto. My little brother huh?! YOU LITTLE F*** BACKSTABBER PIECE OF SHIT" Reggie snarled as she grabbed Trish by the hair harshly throwing her over shoulder and flipped Trish backwards harshly to the ground and did a double twist that left Reggie to rip off Trish hair that she was half bald who tried to fight back but, Reggie was rather strong for someone so skinny.
However, Lars stood there gawking and gaping at my sister Reggie stunned who was beating the shit out of Trish until Clio snapped him out it.
"LARS don't just stand there HELP ME?!" Clio yelled at Lars in Spanish which seemed to snap him out of it as he went through the crowd recording the fight from their phones and finally reached Reggie who was kicking Trish's ass; you can say that my ex-girlfriend Trish was beat up pretty bad thanks to Reggie; again Lars tried to hold back my sister in the right time by wrapping his arms around my sister trying to calm her down.
"Reggie… come on!" Lars tried to calm her down who kept kicking and fighting off Trish off "Hey, hey, hey you're going to kill her," he muttered under his breath.
"HELL NO! I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU BITCH!— "Reggie cried out but, didn't noticed that Lars was holding her back but, she kept clawing herself to beat the crap out of Trish "LET ME GO, LET ME GO, LET ME GO LARS I AM NOT DONE WITH THAT WHORE HOW DARE YOU CHEAT ON MY BABY BROTHER. WHAT YOU THINK YOUR SO POPULAR THAT YOU SPREAD YOU SLUTTY LEGS BY NOT ONLY CHEATING ON MY BABY BROTHER BUT, WITH MY EX-BOYFRIEND NO LESS ARE YOU F*** KIDDING THINKING I WOULDN'T ABLE TO FIND OUT OR NOT EVEN CONSIDERING OUR FEELINGS OR THE DAMN CONSQUENCES?!" she exclaimed as she tried to claw out of Clio's and Lars grasp but, Lars was too strong "I TRUSTED YOU NOT TO HURT OTTO AND WHEN I FOUND OUT THAT YOU CHEATED ON HIM NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE NOT ONLY WITH TRENT WHO I WAS DATING THAT TIME THANK GOD I DUMP HIS CHEATING ASS BUT, NOW I HAVE TO FIND OUT THAT YOU CHEATING ON MY BROTHER AGAIN WITH THAT BASTARD OVER THERE!—"pointing at Brad who looked offended but, it didn't stop Reggie from kicking Trish harshly against her stomach and flipped her over backwards harshly to the ground leaving everyone to wince at this "DON'T TALK TO ME, LOOK AT ME OR EVEN TRY TO APOLIGIZE to me and I mean it Trish and don't even get me started with you bitch," she snarled with Sherry who glowered her eyes at her "Stay away from us that includes my brother don't even look at him, or cause trouble with my family and friends because if you do I will know f*** know—"as she gave a cold icy tone that her eyes glowed almost—like a werewolf but, I was too dumbstruck to notice at the time—"If Lars didn't hold me back get ready to run bitch because by the time I get to you bitch I'm going hunt you down breaking and ripping every single bone out of your body, limb to limb and break your scrawny little neck out that you're going to end up dead that not even that bitch over there is going to stop me from killing you, no one not even your family is going to find you. You hear me slut WE'RE DONE YOU HEAR ME WE ARE DONE AS FRIENDS OUR FRIENDSHP IS OVER YOU—?!" she exclaimed swearing in different languages including Spanish that Clio gasps and gawked at her including Lars but, wasn't paying attention since he's too busy trying to calm down my sister. I don't think I ever see my sister that angry before but, it made me respect her more that I just gawked at the scene not noticing that she went to check on me let's just say it brought us closer than ever.
By the time I came back to school everyone was talking about the fight with Reggie and Trish that left me very confuse until I saw Reggie calm down herself spitting the blood, Clio however rushed over asking her if she's okay after hugging I assume they had another reunion that neither of them notice me standing there gawking and gaping at my sister like a fish until I heard her voice thinking I'm hallucinating.
"R-R-Reggie…" my voice was hoarse causing me sister Reggie to turn around with a smile on her face and rushed over to hug me tight which I had to admit I couldn't even breath, returning the hug "What are you doing here?"
"I came to visit…surprise…" Reggie murmured.
I just gave a laugh and hugged her close "When did you get here?"
"A few hours ago. I miss you Otto," Reggie told me.
"You have no idea how much I miss you… it hasn't been the same since you left…" I whispered pausing for a moment, not realizing how much I miss my sister until she went away to boarding school, I realized that the fight cause a huge chaos in school "Where the hell—" I stopped mid-sentence noticing my sister's glower 'don't you dare cuss' look which left me to shift uncomfortable despite how much I miss my sister she always been a mama bear, a mother figure "I mean where the heck did you learn how to fight like that," I explained; I was pretty stunned to see her know how to fight those moves.
Reggie smirked "I know people,"
"And since when can you speak Spanish or any of that language," I asked again.
"Again … I know people Otto,"
"Who are those people who taught you that,"
"Our cousins,"
"We have cousins,"
"Yeah… from ... they're from mom's side…of the family…"
"We have family in New York," I gave a flat tone.
Reggie shrugged "Something like that… yeah…"
"I didn't know… mom had… family… in New York I thought mom grew up in Hawaii?"
"Oh she did… you see their dad is mom's older brother they uh had a fall out … after she … pass away… so we never really got to see them that much since mom's funeral that was the last time we ever saw them … until I learned that our cousins in our mom's side live in New York and that's how we met?"
"Oh… that's… cool… what's their names?"
"Rocco, Rocky their twins same age as me then there's Jay who's about hmm—" Reggie pondered for a moment "He's about Lars' age if I would have to guess," she murmured.
"How come we never met them before?"
"They had a fall out… uncle Rusty and dad,"
"About what?"
"He wouldn't tell me…it must've been bad if they didn't talk for this long… "Reggie shrugged at this then heard a beep, beep sound then she looks down at her cell phone and gave a pout "Dang… well that's my cue… I should get going my flight is tonight… I'm only here for a day," she sighed and gave me a farewell hug "And you Otto man, my baby brother you be good and take care of yourself, take care of dad and Noelani along with the quintuplets okay… just let me know if she and Sherry cause any more problems and I'll take the first flight home promise me," she explained.
"I promise… do you really have to go you just go here and what about dad I bet he would love to see you," I asked.
Reggie smiled "I already saw dad and he told me you'd be here which I thought I come visit… and here we are…" then I heard another beep sound and gave a tired sigh "And yeah I really have to go but, this won't be forever Otto I'll be home soon promise," she explained.
"I'll miss you," I murmured.
"I'll miss you Otto, and watch over Clio for me will you,"
"Always…"
"Good I gotta go," Reggie waved as she rushed over to her car until she bumped into Lars "Oh hey Lars," she gave a smile which Lars was about to say something but, she was already gone; that was the last time I ever saw her until now…
[end of flashback] …
Ever since she went to her private school Reggie and I became really close afterwards we're still close now that she's one of my best friends not that she wasn't already but, I felt a bit guilty hiding this huge secret from her; my own sister no less I don't know what I'm going to do when she comes home...that's when I heard my cell phone ring tone again I recognized it as Sam but, kept ignoring it; I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now until it stopped ringing, it's been ringing from the past three years then it started to ring again only this time it was from my dad that made me sighed knowing he's gonna wonder where I am so I decided to answer.
"Hello...?" I replied.
"Otto... finally, where are you?" my dad asked.
I paused for a moment biting my bottom lip if I should tell him or not but, kept it to myself for now.
"I'm at the hide out spot," I lied; I had a feeling he noticed my tone of voice.
"Is everything alright? Sam and Koeni are both worried sick about you Otto, they told me what happen?" Dad explained leaving me to take a deep breath.
"Oh yeah what did Sam and Koeni say?" I asked.
"Nothing serious I hope mostly Twist been bailing on you guys during hockey practice," Dad explained.
"Yeah, he's been bailing a lot…for a few weeks now,"
"Really? How come?"
"Well … I'm not really sure all I know is that he's always with Lars and Clio most of the time and whenever I ask Clio she told me it's nothing for me to worry about. It's mostly a family thing,"
Dad gave a 'hum' sound "Right… are you sure you're okay? Sam and Keoni seem worried last time I saw them?" he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine dad just… had a lot of my mind and I wanted to be alone so don't worry I'll be back before dinner … I'm just patrolling right now," I lied.
"You're patrolling by yourself?" Dad asked.
"Nah… I'm with Henry and Kevin right now," I lied at this; they're one of the werewolves packs that I met during my transformation as a werewolf.
"Oh, okay just be careful huh and be sure to call Sam so he won't worry to much," Dad explained.
"Yeah, I'll be extra careful promise and I figured they would've but, like I told you dad I just wanted to be alone that was before I met up with Kevin and Henry for patrol though," I pointed out.
"Good… good… just you know call them since they're both worried about you, I'm sure you and Twister will talk things out Otto since they are picking up their grandma at the airport," dad explained leaving me to flinch.
"Yeah I'll call Sam later tonight and uh I'll just see them tomorrow since I'm not really in the mood to see anyone at the moment," I explained.
"Oh... right of course well just be back before dinner we made you're favorite," dad replied.
"Okay dad see you soon," I told him.
"Later and be careful it's tends to be ... dangerous at this time of night kid," my dad replied giving me that tone.
"Don't worry dad I'll be fine," I quickly added.
"Good see you in dinner," my dad told me.
"See you at dinner dad," I told him once we hung up I learned against the palm tree thinking to myself and grabbed my stuff heading home since it was starting to get late.
'Well time to go home…' I thought to myself as I drove my car heading home from my hide out as dinner awaits for me.
[back at the Forest/woods] …
Clio's P.O.V.
"There's no way she'd—"Lars stopped mid-sentence when he saw Reggie was indeed wearing the necklace and bracelet that he bought her thanks to my help where I slowly made a smirk 'I told you,' look where he cleared his throat and got up "Come on guys that's enough for a break we need to keep training," he immediately changed the subject.
"It's barely five minutes' bro… besides can't we just look at this video quick I want to see Reg's performance since this is the first time I seen her since we were kids," Maurice protested. We both noticed that Lars tried to restrain herself.
"No excuses little bro let's just keep training… Clio are going to join us or what?"
I made a long sigh knowing this wouldn't be easy but, I got curious what Jay and Rocco got in store for me using my puppy dog look "Pleaseee Lars I really want to see this video and we'll train right after this promise. She finally finished her song and I want to hear it pleaseeeeeeee, pretty please" I pouted using my puppy dog look leaning on his shoulder as he tried to be strong but, unfortunately he couldn't say 'no' to me.
Lars looked like he's struggling trying to be strong and sighed in defeat "I-I-I—alright… alright… fine… fine… but, after that video we're going back to training okay," he ordered leaving me to squeal happily.
"Sir yes sir," I nodded giving my solider salute where I pressed play and sat on the bench where they sat between me and saw some people through the crowd and noticed a stage where we saw Jay and Rocco waving at us. I had a feeling his friend Blaise or Sky are videotaping this while we send a video message to me.
"Hey Clio it's Rocco and— "Rocco was cut off by his brother Jay "And Jay— we just wanted to give you a heads up on these recent videos that we both posted on Gina performance tonight at the Summer Festival without her knowledge—"looking at Reggie who was currently getting ready to perform putting on her make up giving a blow kiss causing Jay to chuckle "If I have to guess that's probably for her fans I wouldn't be surprised…anyway don't tell her we took this video you know how Gina doesn't like to be video tapped or else she'll kill us later. Blaise point the camera at Gina will you," he ordered.
"On it boss," Blaise replied pointing the video camera at Reggie who was smiling in stage waving at the crowd.
"Hey guys... are you having fun," Reggie began to say where she was currently wearing a ocean blue strapless dress which was short above her knees where the crowd cheered leaving her to chuckle; her hair was down with big curls that which looked complete natural from what I can tell anyway where she continued to talk "I want to delicate this song for someone special dear to me... who just happens to be my little brother Otto, my family and my friends back home so if you guys are listening and yes Rocco, Jay-Jay I know your taping this video but, considering I'm in stage I'ma kill you both later," leaving the crowd to laugh where she smiled then continued to talk "Anyway if you're taping this for Clio hey girlie I hope you enjoy the rest of the video...oh and if you're showing this to ... a certain someone... well... hope he enjoys... you might recognize this song but, I can't be sure since the song hasn't come out yet but, hopefully you guys will love it... the song is called 'A Year Without Rain,' and made it a remix here and there," she explained where she sat down on the piano where a spotlight pointed at her where she starts playing the piano which she's amazing at it while I watched the video I couldn't sworn Lars looked speechless but, kept it to himself as her voice started singing angelic; from what I heard Reggie got her singing voice from their late mother and continued to sing for fun and decided to make it as one of her favorite things to do in her spare time.
A Year Without Rain
Selena Gomez
Oh, oh
Can you feel me when I think about you?
With every breath I take
Every minute, no matter what I do
My world is an empty place
Like I've been wanderin' the desert
For a thousand days (oh-huh)
Don't know if it's a mirage
But I always see your face, baby
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Oh oh oh, woah, woah
Where the spot light shines on Reggie that a smile was upon her lips, singing from her heart thru the crowd where she takes her microphone walks thru the stage where the band in the background starts to follow her lead.
"Whoa... is that Reggie," Twister asked.
"Of course, it is," I smirked "It's pretty awesome right,"
"Yeah … it looks like it's a big celebration … and she looks so different ... " Twister paused for a moment "She looks happy," he pointed out.
"Well duh she is on stage Twist," I argued back.
"True..." Twister replied.
The stars are burning
I hear your voice in my mind (it's in my mind)
Can't you hear me calling
My heart is yearning
Like the ocean that's running dry
Catch me I'm falling
It's like the ground is crumbling underneath my feet
Won't you save me
There's gonna be a monsoon
When you get back to me
Oh baby
I'm missing you so much
Can't help it, I'm in love (love)
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Oh oh oh, woah woah
Reggie walks thru the stage staring at the sky where the moon was shining bright with the stars bright where I had a feeling that the angels are watching over her.
So let this drought come to an end
And may this desert flower again
I'm so glad you found me
Stick around me
Baby, baby, baby, whoa
It's a world of wonder
With you in my life
So hurry baby, don't waste no more time
And I need you here
I can't explain
But a day without you
Is like a year without rain
Oh oh oh
I'm missing you so much (so much)
Can't help it, I'm in love
A day without you is like a year without rain
I need you by my side (side)
Don't know how I'll survive
A day without you is like a year without rain
Oh oh oh, woah woah
Ooh, ohh
"Whoooooooooooooo go Gina!" the girls from the background where the camera pointed at Rocky and the girls then back at Reggie.
Reggie curtsied waving at the crowd "Thank you everyone I hope you guys have a great night," she says and that was the end of the video.
"Whoooa," Twister commented where I looked at Lars he had a smile on his face.
"Oh shoot we better get back before Otto gets suspicious," I replied leaving Lars to roll his eyes.
"Yeah, I think that's enough training for today but, tomorrow we're going to train extra hard," Lars commented.
"Awe man," Twister complained leaving me to giggle. As for Clio and Twister they failed to meet up with Otto and the guys due to the fact Otto wasn't in the mood to see anyone after Clio told him some lame excuses stating something came up which was true they were currently still training but, she couldn't tell him that now can she? So, when Sam told her what happen during their phone call she frowned.
"Oh, okay Sammy I'll uh see you guys tomorrow then?" she asked.
"Later Clio see you guys tomorrow," Sam replied.
Clio and Twister continued training until it gotten late. As for Reggie and her friends while her friends in school call her 'Gina' they were tired from singing in stage not that neither of them wanted to stop but, it was getting late and they had to leave early in the morning to head home and her throat was parched that her cousins gave her water to make sure her throat doesn't break out through their last performance.
[back in Alfea Academy] …
Reggie's P.O.V.
"Okay everyone that was the last song for the night now I would advise for all of you to have a safe trip home," Ruby the mistress began to say where we chatted away for us to go home where she continued to talk "Also I would like to remind you that for those who just recently graduated early than expected, I wish you the best of luck in the future oh and one more thing just because you graduated from Alfea that doesn't mean you won't be missed have a great night," she explained.
"I can't believe we're leaving," I sniffed trying not to cry where my cousins Jayden, Rocco and Rocky held me onto me into a comfort hug.
"Awe don't cry Gina it won't be long till we see each other gain since we can transport to any dimension we want remember,"
"I know it's just going to be so weird not having you guys as my roommate,"
"I know Gina we'll miss you too,"
"Tell Aunt Stella and the girls to text me soon,"
"Of course, and I bet aunt Bloom would visit you whenever she could you know since she's the current Queen on both Domino and Eraklyon due to queen duties and everything,"
"Yeah I know… I just I'm going to miss you guys so much,"
"We're going to miss you too kiddo come on we better grab your stuff since your buss doesn't leave in another 2 hours," Jayden offered.
"Okay," I told him with a nod while Rocco put his arm around my shoulder which left me to smile.
"Let's get outta here Gina before we get lost through this crowd," Rocco suggested.
"It'd be a nightmare if that were to happen Rocco," I told him
And just when we were leaving the stage Ruby the mistress went to talk to us "Oh Regina—"leaving me to flinch as I detested that name but, I was used to the mistress calling me that I didn't want to flinch in front of her as she gave me a smile "I'm so glad I caught you girls I wanted to ask if you girls if you can come to my office there's something that I wanted to give you. It's more of a graduation present from you mother Regina," she explained.
"My mother…" I whispered softly.
"Yes, I believe so…" Ruby gave me a comfort hug "She wanted me to give it to you personally until the time was right so I thought I give it to you now before you leave," she explained. I nodded at this.
"Okay I'll meet you over there," I told her.
"Of course," Ruby nodded at this turning to Rocky and the girls "And that goes for each of you I got each of you something as well in case this were to happen," she explained.
"We'll be there headmistress Ruby," Rocky and the girls answered.
"Perfect this won't take very long I promise," Ruby the headmistress assured us.
We followed the headmistress 10 minutes later since it took us awhile to ditch Brad where we had to duck through the crowd so he wouldn't be able to spot me where Arianna interrupted my train of thought.
"Hmm I wonder what the headmistress got us…especially you Gina. If it's from your mother it has to be important if she's calling you in her office," Arianna asked all confuse.
"I'm sure whatever it is it must be important since we're practically one of the strongest fairies in the galaxy after my god mother Musa and her friends anyway," Mimi pointed out.
"True," I comment.
"Hey Reggie," a voice called after me where I slightly turn which was a mistake on my part thinking it was Jason one of my friends but, turned out to be my ex-boyfriend Brad-the douche bag that broke my heart and boy was that a huge mistake and quickly ignored his calls.
"Come on guys let's go I don't want to see him right now," I hissed at my friends hiding behind Rocky who noticed this.
"We'll deal with it," Jayden and Blaise replied.
"Don't worry Gina we're going to make sure that douche doesn't bother you again even if I have to threaten him," Rocco growled.
"Hey Reggie hold up a minute," another voice called after him. I turned again it's another mistake my other ex-boyfriend Leo who just happens to be another mistake.
"Damn it what is this ex-boyfriend day for me or something," I groaned at this.
"Don't worry Gina Angel, Matt and I are on it," Jason growled who just happened to came out of nowhere knowing how our relationship went and since then they've been like brothers to me that I never had besides Otto anyway.
"Thanks Jace and I'll see you guys later before I leave," I whispered leaving Jason and the guys to nod at this since they don't like him either since he broke my heart as well by cheating on me just like Brad did except Hansel he was sweet at first until I found out it's part of his charm the girls. I just happened to be one of the girls that fell for it again. I always seem to be attracted to assholes these days and that's when I had enough and be single for awhile.
"Ready to go," Rocky whispered.
"I am if you are, "I whispered.
"Here we go…" Arianna murmured knocking the door.
"Come in," Ruby announced, we opened the door where she saw us with a beaming smile "Ah girls I'm glad you can come I know it's a short notice and everything since most of the students are heading home afterwards," she explained.
"Yes, it has been a long day," Jade murmured.
"It wasn't a problem my bus doesn't arrive within 2 ½ hours so I have some time…" I murmured leaving Ruby to nod at this "So uhm… not to be rude headmistress but, what was it that you wanted to give me… from my mom?" I explained.
"I'm glad you ask … let me just get it…" Ruby began to say walking thru the book shelf, pressing a couple of buttons and headed inside where she turned to us "Come along girls quickly now," she explained where we quickly followed until the door close leaving us in awe where my cousin Rocky interrupted my train of thought.
"W-where are we?" Rocky asked.
Ruby sighed "Well as you know … your mother Dani and I were very good friends Regina," she began to say causing Reggie to slowly nod at this "This would be her secret room that your mother found… a couple of years ago… through the dark times when we were in the war… if it wasn't for the Winx help the whole entire galaxy would've been destroyed," she whispered.
We grew quiet but, Arianna looked troubled by this after a short silence as she cleared her throat "I—I uh heard about that… it took a lot out of auntie Bloom powers to destroy the Trix… she nearly died if it wasn't for the Winx," she explained.
"Yes, it did… it nearly destroyed her but, luckily your aunt Stella and the girls helped whenever they could they're amazing young ladies and I'm very lucky to have them as friends. My great aunt was their headmistress before she retired and asked me to take over as she knew how much this school meant so much to me," Ruby explained leaving me to nod at this.
"I bet they were really strong," I whispered.
"They really were," Ruby the headmistress began to say giving me a jewelry box trunk as I had a puzzle look on my face as she gave me a smile "This is for you…. well go on open it," she insisted at this.
I held my breath and opened it where I made a small gasp. It was a cloak for the girls, one of the powerful ones …how did my mom get this… I noticed that Ruby the headmistress smiled at me "Try it on Regina and see if it's still fits?" she asked (a/n: I got that idea from the book and movie of Harry Potter because I thought the cloak was awesome so I thought Reggie deserves something from her mother's)
"Wow…" I was in awe as I tried it out looking through the mirror where you can see my whole-body invisible as the girls were in awe like I was where I turned to Ruby "This is incredible how did my mom get this?" I asked. That's when I noticed half of my body was gone that left me to freak out until Ruby explained to me that it was an invisible cloak that came from my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandmother who passed it to her daughter for generations and my grandma gave it to my mom … who told her to give it to me but, unfortunately my mom died when I was really little from a surfing accident… that left me teared up. I really miss my mom so much as I held my locket close to me.
"Well from what your mother told me she said it was from your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, grandmother who passed it to her daughter for generations and her mother passed it to her and she was saving it to give this to you but, well… after that horrible surfing accident… she never get a chance too and made me promise if she didn't make it she wanted me to give it to you personally …" Ruby paused for a moment as I felt myself all teared up as she gave me a comfort hug "Your grandmother was one of the powerful fairies in the galaxy in your mom side of the family and she wanted you to have it," she explained.
"It's really beautiful…. I'll treasure it thank you so much headmistress," I told her giving her a hug as she returned the hug.
"Of course I knew one day you're going to receive this amazing gift use it wisely Regina it won't let any supernatural detect you especially vampires," Ruby explained.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"This isn't any just any cloak Regina… it's one of the powerful ones that your grandfather gave to your grandmother a long time ago to protect her. It protected her from all sorts of adventures that she went through with her friends. In fact, werewolves, vampires, witches, witches, etc can't even detect you anywhere it's has this invisible silence charm barrier to protect you so if there's any danger out there you would use this to protect yourself and sneak into places without any detecting you. It's bullet, lightning, thunder, water, fire, proof and etc. It has every protection spell known to man your grandfather was how can I say this… he was brilliant, a genius when he handmade this cloak for your grandmother. It helped them with the tough times. It can protect you from anything anywhere and you'll gain more powerful than any fairy and werewolf combined in the galaxy since you're the first in your family to be both," she explained.
"Wow that's amazing… don't worry Ruby I'll use this cloak very wisely thank you," I told her.
"Your welcome sweetheart," Ruby replied as she started explaining how this cloak can protect me from any danger which was good since I'm half werewolf from my dad side of the family while my mom is a fairy so I'm basically 50/50 from both my parents. Of course, my dad doesn't know that I know he and my brother Otto are werewolves or that Noelani is a fairy or that my future step siblings will be like Otto and myself but, we'll see how it goes. I have a feeling that my dad knows that I'm a fairy and a werewolf he just hasn't told me about it yet.
[30 minutes later] …
"I don't want to keep you Regina," Ruby began to say where I nodded at this getting up as she continued to talk "Did you manage to pack your things or not yet?" she asked.
"I'm almost done packing my stuff but, it's not much though so I'd be done before the bus gets here," I explained as she nodded at this.
"Being busy tends to do that after the finals with school and graduating under these circumstances I wouldn't blame you why don't you go ahead while I talk to the guys for a few minutes if that's alright with you?" Ruby explained.
"Sure, I don't mind and thank you for the cloak Ruby I'll be sure to take good of it," I told her giving her a farewell hug.
"Of course, I knew it'd be a matter of time before I give this cloak to you and have a safe trip home Regina and do tell your father I said 'hello' to him when you get a chance will you," Ruby explained.
"I will and I'll tell Noelani as well since she and my dad just got married recently," I explained.
"Oh yes she told me that I wish I went to the wedding but, I had a family emergency that day," Ruby worried at this.
"No worries headmistress I'm sure they both understood why and I almost forgot to tell you that Noelani wanted me to invite you to the baby shower that's coming up in a few weeks do you think you'll be able to come?" I asked.
"I would be honored to come and it has been a long time since I last saw Noelani I heard she's expecting quintuplets that must've been a big surprise for you," Ruby whispered as I passed the invitation to her and the girls including my cousins.
"It was and I'm pretty excited I'm sure she would love to see you Ruby," I began to say where I looked at my watch and turned to Ruby and the girls "Well I better head back I still have some last minute packing to do," giving them one last hug "I'll see you guys in a couple of minutes' guys," I explained.
"Okay later Gina," Rocky and the girls waved 'bye' at me as I headed to our dorm room to continue packing my stuff since I have a long journey ahead of me.
While I raced to my dorm room I only had an hour left before I leave so I had to recheck everything that I wasn't missing anything and made sure to keep my locket secure and safe around my neck and my bracelet that Lars gave me, I mean don't get me wrong I have other jewelry but, the locket and the bracelet that Lars gave me are my favorite to wear on special occasions like this. Just when I was about to head out the girls arrived to meet me in our dorm room to bid me farewell where I noticed their sad expressions sitting on my bed.
"Awe don't cry guys we'll visit each other all the time," I assured the girls thinking they're safe heading home as a farewell which was partly true but, I had this feeling they were hiding something from me.
"I know we will but, that's not why— "Arianna began to say where she stopped noticing Rocky my cousin glaring at her which she made a slight squeak hiding behind Lily where my cousin decided to speak up with a small smile "Never mind," she squeaked.
"So, did you pack everything?" Rocky asked changing the subject.
"Yeah, I just packed everything my jewelry and the gifts that you guys gave me 2 nights ago it's hard to put them inside my suitcase guys," I sarcastically as I tried to shut my suit case off.
"Here the girls and I can help on 3… 1… 2… 3…" Rocky replied as we all sat down on my suitcase where I closed the lock secured as we made a slight relief.
"Thanks, I needed some help with the amount of stuff that I have. It's a miracle it actually fits in this thing," I sighed tiredly gathering my bag "Did you grab your stuff too?"
"Yeah we did and no problem … you ready to go Gina," Rocky began to say which I noticed her tone of voice but, kept it myself "Well let's get going we're going to say our farewells at Pop's," she explained her voice was cracked trying not to cry.
"Okay," I nodded at this looking around the room as my room with Rocky since we shared a room was completely bare "This is it … come on Rocco and the guys are going to meet us at the front?" I told her as the girls nodded at this.
[20 minutes later] …
Rocco's P.O.V.
"There you guys are we were beginning to think we missed you heading home," Jason played it off leaving my sister Rocky to roll her eyes.
"Like I'm going to leave without saying good byes to you guys. Where's Mary and the girls?" Reggie asked.
"They're at the café what time do you leave?" I asked.
"Well by the time I get there it's going to be midnight at Earth… so I can just leave whenever," Reggie says with a shrug.
"What time is it there right now anyway?" Blaise asked.
"Hmm…" Reggie began to say looking at her cell phone "Right now it's 7:45 p.m. in the evening so we have plenty of time before I leave guys," she explained.
"Well …if that's the case let's head to the café since we have plenty of time for you to leave right?" I offered.
"I was just thinking the same thing big brother," Rocky smirked but noticed her tone of voice. Something was different I had a feeling she's going to tell me once our cousin heads home tonight at Earth with her family.
We used the tram that was heading to Magix which was the main city of the supernatural dimension but, we took the shortcut heading to the cafe.; it took about another 20 minutes till we got there.
Reggie my cousin was chatting with the girls where I noticed my twin sister Rocky expression where she gave me a smile whispering to me in low tones "I know you want to know what's bothering me big brother but, I rather wait till we're by ourselves," she whispered.
"Why what's going on?" I asked in low tones.
Rocky looked at me for a long moment then turned to Gina (known as Reggie) then back and me "We got some news and I rather wait till Gina leaves," she whispered as we both watched Gina laugh about something that Blaise said.
"Is it serious?"
"Yeah … do you remember that certain thing… that headmistress Ruby gave you, me and Aria the other day?" Rocky began to say where I slowly nod at this as she held her breath "Well once the girls were gone… Aria and I were left behind where she told us that the mission is still on hold until she found out that the Trix escaped," she whispered.
"WHAT?!" I exclaimed.
Everyone looked at me confuse where she harshly too me to the other side of the café hissing at me "Rocco keep your voice down we can't have anyone detect us especially Gina," she hissed at me as I took a deep breath to calm down.
"Sorry but, how the hell did they— "I stopped for a moment looking around hoping our cousin wasn't listening in since she's half werewolf talking in low tones "How did they escape," I harshly hissed at this.
"I don't know but, from what Aria told me she's calling her aunt Bloom and they're looking into it but, until then we have to keep a low profile until headmistress Ruby tells us it's time to start the mission which should be less than a week 2-4 day at most,"
"That soon…"
"Yeah our headmistress Ruby had this theory that the Trix are up to something… also…" Rocky grabbed me by the arm as we walked further away from our friends "There's some rumors going around that Dark Valdor and the Wizards of the Black Circle are involved and working together with the Trix and it's not good Rocco… they want something … I don't know what but, I have a feeling it's more dangerous if they're all working together…" she whispered.
"Shit…" I whispered biting my bottom lip nervously staring at my cousin Reggie "Does she know?" I asked.
