CHAPTER 2 – Arrival of Helia One Surprise After Another

Magix Inter-Realm Station

"Next Stop Magix Realm" said the voice over the intercom. "Home of Alfea school for Fairies, Red Fountain School of Heroics and of Cloud Tower for witches. We hope you enjoy your visit."

Thank god I took an early bus now I have an extra twenty minutes can have lunch and see what new in town, Helia thought to himself as he picked up his duffle bag from the floor of the bus, before existing the bus.

And right away he spotted an art supplies store. "That's always good to know" he said under his breath heading towards the shop. To replenish his oil paint supply and pick up another sketch pad, along with a couple of ink wells, he thought making a mental list of what he needed.

Something caught he's eye before he got to the door. A group of heroes and fairies were sitting by the water fountain nothing unusual but what caught his eye was the stunning brunette with the pink and orange outfit that a little ways away from them. They didn't seem to notice her.

Well, no one noticed her. Just as he started towards her, a large group of tourist came into his path. When the group had cleared away the girl was gone.

"Why do I sick knowing that?" He said rubbing his stomach trying to ease the queasiness.

"That's your body telling you it needs fuel," a voice said from behind him. He turned to see the very girl standing right there. "I recommend the White Horse, its got an excellent view of the sea." She said smiling a smile that could melt the ice on close she was even more gorgeous with those emerald eyes.

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

I sure hope she didn't hear that, he thought. "Ahh…really… thanks." He said barely managing not to stutter.

"No problem!" She said.

Beep…Beep…BEEP…BEEP!

"OH My gosh I have to go." She said checking her phone. "See ya!" rushing away, tossing over her shoulder

There it is again that smile, Helia thought then looked at his watch he had to minutes to get to the bus for the school, "so much for getting lunch" Helia said as ran to bus barely making it in time before the doors closed. The bus was crowded not a lot of elbow room. Helia could still see the from the fountain crammed into the back.

It was about ten minutes later when he heard the voice over the intercom again. "Next Stop Alfea's School for Fairies!"

Several all the girls on the bus got off except for three that look just how witches from Cloud Tower should look; scary, creepy and mean. They were looking at him like fresh cured beef on a spit. It took Helia a second to realize that the 'Fountain Girl' had gotten off at Alfea.

Well, at least I know where to find her, he thought as Alfea became but a mire dot on the horizon.

The Intercom rang once more "Next stop Red Fountain school of Heroes".From where he stood at the front of the bus Helia could see the remnants of the school his uncle loved so much and fought so hard to avenge when it fell during the 'Witch invasion'.

"It'll shine again" Helia said quiet enough that no one heard. Over the summer his uncle Saladin had shown him the schematics for the new building. It was his uncles pride and enjoy.

Back at Red Fountain

"I can't believe you hogged all the hot water." Brandon complained shivering at the slight chill in the breeze. "If I get sick cause of guys, Stella's going to mad and I'm gonna tell her it's all your guys' fault." He pouted.

"Don't send your crazy girlfriend our way." Riven said, "besides you're always hogging the hot water in the morning" he ticked off "after classes" ticked "And when we all go on a group date"

"And lets not forget after dragon wrangling practice." Timmy said, Brandon cringed at the very mention of the class. Since he had bad run in with a tri-hornadon dragon.

"Ok, I get it. Shorter shower got it" Brandon said hoping to appease them.

"It's either that or your last for showers from now on." Sky chuckled, watching Brandon squirm."Relax it could be worse, we could just dump a bucket over your head." They roared if laughter.

Just as the noon shuttle bus ascended upon them, "Alright everyone one matter how snobby he is, we have to keep our cool."Sky said through gritted teeth, the others nodded.

The shine blue shuttle bus stopped several yards away from the school, only four people got off. The guy in the green and tan ball walked towards them while the rest walked on by toward the school.

"So, have any of guys ate yet?" He said with a peasant smile, "Cause I'm starving!" just as his stomach gave a rumble and the others joined. "Guess that answers that!"

"Welcome to Red Fountain, I'm Sky, these are my friends; Brandon, Riven and Timmy. Your uncle has asked us to... ahem... escort you, during your stay."Sky said with his back ramrod straight.

"So you're my sitters for the duration… ok, but could you stop with the formality… your making me feel old. Beside you'll so realize that I'm not one for formality." He said as he reached to remove his cap and wipe his forehead. They all gapped at the long mane of long black silky hair fell once he removed the cap.

"Yeah, that's obvious," Riven huffed, "you look like a girl!"

"RIVEN!" They shouted.

"What? He does."Riven replied defensively. Helia just laughed it off.

"Forget Riven, he was raised by wolves." Timmy said placing a hand on Helia's shoulder.

"It's not a problem."Helia replied, "Now let's get something to eat before we all die of starvation."As he walked towards the gate he tossed over his shoulder "you guys going to change out of those uniforms or what?"

"He's not what I expected for Saladin's nephew." Brandon said, as they followed up the path to school. They all nodded, Helia is one surprise after another.

Okay everyone; Helia has met the guys, but who's 'the Fountain girl' he can't take his eyes off of? Anyone? Stay tuned for Chapter 3!
