SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

playing along

"I don't want to clean the room so please go make out somewhere else."

"Where's Stella?", I ask the girls as soon as I get back. I'd need to talk to her right now and I also want to hear about what happened between her mom and her. "I've got no idea", Terra answers worriedly, "We only saw some soldiers from Solaria bringing away her luggage. Didn't she talk to you?" "She tried talking to Sky and I earlier. I'll text her."

Scar ⚡️🖤

where are you?

Stel, I'm sorry

I didn't mean to push you away

Bloom went missing

I would have stayed with you

if we could have searched for her later

Stella ✨🧡

I know

I'm with my mom

with your mom?

Stel, come back please

I'm sorry

I should have stayed with you

it's fine, S

I wish I could come back

but my mom told me to go

I didn't want to leave

I miss you

I'll call her office immediately

she can't do that

you belong to Alfea

no one can

I'll play along

until she lets me come back

Can I call you?

I'm sitting next her

but thanks

I'll text you as often as I can

love you Scar ♥️

you too Stel, come back soon 🤍

"So where is Stella?", Terra asks me. "She's gone", I whisper, "Her mom made her leave. But she'll come back soon." "That's so sad-" "Can we just talk about something positive?", I interrupt Terra and force myself to smile at her. 

"Okay, great news. Musa's got a boyfriend!", Terra smiles and I see Musa nodding proudly, "I mean it's my brother, well. But she's got a boyfriend." "Your brother?", I ask Terra shocked and look at Musa, "Sam?" 

"Yes, Terra says he looks like their dad but I say I've got the attractive son", Musa smiles and I force myself to smile as well. First, Riven freaks out. Then Saul talks to me as if I'm just a soldier. Stella's gone and now Musa is dating Sam. 

What a great day. However, Musa shouldn't feel like I've got a problem with it. Well, my bad she's a mind fairy. And compared to me, she can control her magic. "What's wrong?", Musa asks furling her eyebrows, "You're uncomfortable." 

"I just.. I used to like Sam, you know? Before Riven and I dated. It's been a long time. It's just weird to hear that he finally found someone", I lie easily about the first part, "But I'm glad that he's got you now! You're great together." 

I go over and hug her tightly. I'm really happy for her. It's just.. it wouldn't hurt if it wasn't Sam. Fortunately for me, I can suppress my feelings easily. I know what kind of night I have to face. I didn't expect to get back to those nights but here I am. 

Saul's treating me harshly, Stella's unwillingly left, Riven's with Beatrix and I officially lost Sam. It's either destroying my room by losing control over my powers or going back to the place where I've felt most of the pain my entire life. 

So I get dressed to go back to the safe room. Saul knowing that I can't control my lightnings built this room so I can let out all my anger in here without hurting anyone.

"Did you just leave the safe room?", Sky asks me shocked the next morning as I yawn on my way back to the suite, "Is it because of Saul?" "No, it's just, it's fine", I nod smiling. "Scar, no matter what happens, we'll stay strong together. We're here for each other. I'd let anything fall for you, okay?" 

"Saul.. don't you think he's been too harsh yesterday? Sky, he treated us as if we were some people to inform him but we're more than that! And Stella's left and Musa's dating Sam and-" "Sam, huh?", Sky interrupts me sounding as if he just found out what's actually going on. 

"I just.. didn't expect it?", I say confused, "I was angry about Saul and Riven already. It's been too much going on yesterday. I needed to let off some steam. Before you ask, I don't want to talk about it right now. I feel a lot better after this." 

I point into the direction of the safe room and Sky nods knowing what I feel like after such a night. Actually, I'm mainly tired. "Go back and take some rest. I'll tell Saul that you're sick", Sky smiles at me and I hug him thankfully. After all, us siblings stay strong together.

"What else are we supposed to do?", Terra asked a week later as Aisha, her and I get back to the suite after finishing our training for a serious fight against the burned ones. "We'll just get it done", Aisha argues but turns to Musa as we enter the suite, "Where have you been? I've messaged you all the time!" 

"Yes, I've seen that. I was busy and Sam was here and.. wait, is that weird for you, Scar?" "It's fine", I reply smiling. Just because Sam and I didn't work out, doesn't mean that him and Musa aren't allowed to work out. I'm over it. Finally. 

"Not in our room, right?", Terra asks irritated and I chuckle. I'm definitely not jealous. I'm quite fine with being for myself for some time. 

"It's okay. We've talked to Bloom. I think she's completely freaking out. We've promised her to not say anything but I think that we should still talk to Dowling about this", Aisha turns our attention back to the actual topic. 

"You better stop this", Musa says looking to the wall and I furl my eyebrows. This reminds me of a Solarian princess. "No, it's better to talk to her", Aisha goes on. "Stella's got an opinion on this as well." "What?" 

"I don't want to clean the room all the time so talk to them", Musa exclaims and Stella appears. The good old trick to disappear. "Hey", I whisper happily and run over to her to hug her tightly, "I'm so sorry for leaving you alone last week. I'll never turn you down again. I promise." 

"It's fine, Scar. You had much more important thoughts on your mind", Stella smiles at me, "I'm glad to be here with you." "Me too." Stella hugs me back before talking about our mission again. 

"Everyone here thinks like there are only two sides in this story. Bloom is pretty annoying but still, she should find out who she is. She deserves more than the stories by Dowling and the others. So we either spend our time wondering if we do the right thing or we help our friend."
