SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

burned ones

"I need you, dad."

"Guys!", we hear Terra shout before we can discuss how we're going to deal with the situation, "We've got a problem here." Aisha, Stella and I immediately run to where Terra and Musa are. I gulp as I see a team of Solaria's soldiers. 

Each of them is dead. Saul is supposed to be here.. "The burned one is still here", Terra realizes but I don't listen to her actively. Not until she says a certain name. "That's Mr. Silva." "No, no, no. Saul", I immediately scream and run to the one person who still seems to be alive, "We're here, Saul. We're here and we'll help you." 

To my surprise, Saul pulls out his blade to make me stay away. "I know, Scar, but step back. You need to stay away." Seeing Saul like this, his eyes dark, shocks me and I'm anxious of losing him but I can't let my fear control my power right now. I have to have a clear mind in order to help him.

I use my air power to throw his blade away and Terra captures him with her power. I hear Terra talking and I feel Musa being nervous as well but I can't concentrate on them. I let them do whatever they want to do. At the same time, I lay my hands on Saul's. 

No matter how much I'm afraid of being hurt or feeling the pain of my loved ones, it's nothing compared to the pain I'd feel if he left. Saul is my family. So I concentrate on my power completely trying to take as much pain away from him as possible while I see his eyes lightening thanks to whatever Terra is doing. 

"Please, stay awake, please", I whisper while using more and more of my power to do whatever I can completely ignoring the tears on my cheeks, "I need you, dad. Sky and I need you. Please stay with us."

We've realized that no one else would be there to help us and that we're on our own so Terra, Musa and I have decided to carry Silva back to school as quickly as possible. "We need a first aid kit", I exclaim as soon as we get back and see people in the hall, "Now!" 

Beatrix says that she'll bring Farah and Dane luckily helps us carrying Silva to the greenhouse. Out of all people, Mr. Harvey is the only one to find a way to help us. "Sam, get dad!" During the next few minutes, we simply have to wait until Mr. Harvey mixes something that would help Saul.

"You've saved him. I'm proud of you, girls", Mr. Harvey says as he's tapping the mixture onto Saul's wounds. I can still feel his pain but the pain of the mixture in his wound is nothing compared to his actual wounds. 

"How bad is it?", Sky asks alarmed, "Can you help him? Scar, could you do anything?" "Sky, it'll be okay. Let the professor do his work." "I should have planned with more soldiers", Farah storms in already with a guilty look on her face. 

"Terra, Sky, Scar, could you leave us alone for a moment? We'll keep you informed", Silva asks us obviously not wanting us to hear what they but I shake my head. "I'll stay here until I'm sure that you're feeling better", I insist. 

"Scar, I love you, but go, please", Saul repeats and gives me a serious look so I sigh and follow the others. I don't want to leave him behind like this. I'm about to say something to my brother but he turns around quickly before I can even start to say something. 

"I'll go and see how Bloom is doing", he tells me shortly so I stop walking feeling pushed back. We should be there for each other now. Silva could die and all that's left then is him and I. But Sky's first way is the one to Bloom.

As I get back to the hall, people are staring at me. They know about my relationship to Saul so they watch even more what I'm doing. I'm surprised to see Sam walking over to me. He's about to say something when Riven passes by. 

"Come on, let's go and sit down, Scar", he tells me and looks at Sam, "What, were you trying to say something?" This is Riven's way of caring about me. Well, his way of knowing that I don't want to talk to anyone that I don't know.

He seems to have forgotten that Sam and I have been close friends. At least he's trying to help. "Not really", Sam replies and nods to me, "Just heard what happened." "And why would you care?", Riven replies bluntly and turns to me, "Come on, let's go." 

"Thanks, Sam", I nod and decide that it's better to go with Riven and text Sam afterwards. When I saw him approaching me, I was nervous to talk to him but also glad that he still seems to care about me in a way. I just couldn't risk Riven finding out and I also appreciate Riven caring about me when needed. Especially after his weird behavior earlier.

"Did you find him?", Riven asks me as we get outside of Alfea's building. "Terra saw him at first. I.. It.. Seeing Silva like that", I whisper but stop as tears stream down my cheeks once again and Riven immediately pulls me into his arms.

I should have called him instead of messaging him, but I just couldn't hear his voice. I'm too much of a wreck to talk to him.
