ᵉⁿᵍˡⁱˢʰ avada kedavra [Riven | Fate - The Winx Saga]

15

This evening ended differently for some, quite differently than thought, expected or hoped for.

On the way back through Alfea to her room, Sierra suddenly stopped in surprise, because Stella was standing around in the hallway like a statue, looking straight ahead. There was just no one there. Not a soul.

"Don't tell me there are ghosts," Sierra joked, bumping her shoulder against Stella's, who merely turned her head slowly toward her, "What's wrong?"

"Sky broke up with me," the blonde didn't give more than a sad smile to Sierra and left the light blonde alone in the hallway.

Well great, that would result in a lot of trouble in the coming days, because Stella was not one of those people who were good at accepting things especially when she herself was the reason or trigger for it. The light fairy was often unable to accept that the fault might lie with oneself or to simply review or question one's own actions. It was therefore to be hoped, for all involved, that it had been merely a 'small' dispute between the two or it was much more, a misunderstanding, in the heat of the moment, and tomorrow, everything would be fine again. To a certain extent well.

After another shower to get rid of the smell of alcohol and smoke from the party, Sierra threw herself on her bed and realized that she had a missed call from Stella. She didn't need to call back, though, because the light fairy just wanted to let her know that her mom, and therefore, Queen Luna of Solaria, would be paying a visit to the school tomorrow. So much for the fact that tomorrow, or rather today, it was already 'tomorrow', would hopefully be better. With this news, however, that had settled, with the best will in the world. A quarrel, between Stella and her mother, was pre-programmed long ago.

As Stella knew her mother, it would be about the events of the last days. The burned. A matter that could not continue to be tolerated. And, if the queen ever deigned to come to the school, she would also want to know how her daughter's academic performance was.

Furthermore, in the middle of the night, a small video began to make the rounds, in which some freshman, Beatrix and Riven were having fun together. The three, by the looks of it, were having a blast.

For breakfast, a few hours later, however, Stella did not appear, so Sierra sat alone at a table with her bowl. The girls who usually ate with them, fortunately, sat together at another table, because, it was the light fairy, why the rest of the chairs were usually occupied and since the princess was not present, but at the entrance to greet and receive her mother, all the seats now remained empty. Fortunately. Other people could be quite annoying, especially those who could do nothing but gossip and exchange gossip with each other.

"Hey," Riven spoke up, promptly sitting down across from Sierra and placing a book on the table, which he slid over to her, "I actually meant to give this back to you a long time ago. Just didn't get around to it."

"That I'll see you again," Sierra, amused, pulled the patchwork of a book toward her, took a cursory glance inside, then looked at Riven, "As most were allowed to know, someone had had his fun at the party. And now?"

"All you had to do was say yes," Riven replied, causing Sierra to laugh, "Then you wouldn't have to be jealous or, what was that stunt yesterday with...."

"Ask Stella. She set it up," it was brushed off directly Sierra, who shortly after, began to smile tiredly, "How many times? I'm not into dating and all that goes with it. Besides, I kind of don't feel like I need to."

"Then it's not a date," Riven corrected herself, "The one in the woods wasn't a date either, yet it was just the two of us. Who dragged me in there that time?"

There had been a reason why Sierra had wanted to go to the forest and had asked Riven to come along.
