SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

burning trees

"If you're here to complain about me, feel free to leave."

I would lie if I said I didn't cry when reading Farah's letter. As much as Saul's been a dad to me, Farah's always given me great advices like a mother would. She's always stayed calm no matter what happened.

Even when I burned that one tree next to my classmates. She's never yelled at me. When I hear someone knocking the door, I quickly hide the letter and turn around. „Yes?" Well, I should have stayed quiet and let the person leave.

Beatrix has opened the door. I've never been a fan of her but seeing her with my dad has increased these feelings towards her. Who does she think she is to act like she's my dad's daughter?

"Rosalind wants to see you", Beatrix tells me and I raise my eyebrows. "You can tell her that I don't care about it", I shrug rolling my eyes. Of course, Beatrix doesn't just leave, no, she looks around my room. Her eyes stop when seeing a picture of Saul, my dad, Sky and I.

"She didn't ask you to come, she told you to do it." "You know, I didn't even let Saul call me a soldier so I won't let you or Rosalind treat me like one. I'm not here to follow her orders." "A good advice from me is to just do what she says", Beatrix continues and if she wasn't such self-interested person, I would have probably believed her.

"Why would you care? You'd be glad if I wasn't here so you could be around my dad all the time", I snap back stressing the fact that he's still my dad, not hers. Before I can let her make me angry any more, I leave my own room and walk to the woods. May she rifle through all my stuff, I don't care.

"Have you talked to your dad since he's back?", Sam asks me as soon as he sits down in front of me during lunch break. "No, have you?", I reply sarcastically. It's been a few days and I have ignored everyone that I know.

Sky and I haven't talked to each other. I've ignored the girls completely and I didn't stop when Riven tried to talk to me. The only person that I want to talk to tells me to work on my strength. That's not the conversation I hoped my dad and I would have, especially not as one of the first conversations after such a long time.

"Scar, I know-" „No, you don't, Sam. None of you knows how I feel like and even if you did, it wouldn't change how I feel. Just stop pitying me", I snap at him and quickly stand up and walk away. Well, then no lunch for me.

It's not like I'm hungry anyways. Knowing that Riven hangs out with Beatrix and Dane anyways, I go to the place in the woods in which Riven and I used to hide at. I tried to stop smoking but now I just pull out another joint to calm down.

"Haven't seen you in a long time", Riven surprises me and I laugh. Great. Where can I be alone for once? "It's been a few days, not a year", I shrug, "Plus, it's not me who's having new friends." "Yeah, that's been you before", Riven corrects me and I roll my eyes.

"If you're here to complain about me, feel free to leave." "I'm not here to complain, Scar. I may be an idiot sometimes but I'm trying to be a good friend. You've been ignoring me for days while I want to help you with your dad."

"I don't need any help. Especially not from you", I hiss at Riven knowing that it's a little too harsh but I'm also keeping my walls up high to protect me. "Yeah, because I'm the big bad guy. Sure, Scar-"

"So that's what you do?", dad suddenly interrupts Riven as he snaps at me angrily and I furl my eyebrows, "You leave to smoke and meet guys when you should be training for class?" "First of all, it's lunch break. That's not when I should be training", I correct him but he doesn't look quite happy, "Then-"

"You're coming with me", dad interrupts me now loudly, "You've failed your classes last year, you're a bad specialist, you.. it's just a disappointment seeing you here when you don't deserve a seat at this school."

I've tried to stay calm but his sudden outburst, especially these words, hurt me a lot. I still try to be strong and defend myself. "I've failed my classes because you've let Rosalind manipulate me! You left Sky and I willingly! How am I the disappointment when you're the perfect role model?", I shout back and feel these little lightning around my hands again.

This time, it's different. It feels like the time when Rosalind has told me to transform. Before I can even understand what's going on or what Riven and dad are saying, my body changes and I hear a loud noise. I turn around and my jaw drops as I see the woods behind me burning. It's not just one tree, it's hundreds of trees. "I'll get the water fairies", Riven quickly says and my dad grabs me by my arm to pull me with him.

"You can stop acting like you don't care", Rosalind tells me looking at me seriously as I sit in her office, my dad standing right beside me. Well, he's more like a guard next to me, not like a real father.

"I don't", I reply trying not to freak out as I look at her. Where's Farah? Rosalind's not supposed to sit in her office. "Oh, Scar", Rosalind chuckles, "You could be such a powerful fairy if you'd just let someone teach you the right way."

"Oh, you mean if I would do what you say during class and hurt my friends?", I reply sarcastically. I never use my magic in her class and I'm glad that I can control this one aspect of my magic. "We're helping you children to get ready for serious times", she tells me pretending to be the good person here.

"Your plan didn't work, Rosalind. I'm not dad's little soldier that you can use to become the most powerful person in this world. It's a shame." She's about to say something when I hear Aisha behind me. "I'm sorry to interrupt you, Rosalind, but Jasmine, a water fairy, got hurt when we've fought the fire and we need your help."

"Fine, we're coming. Andreas, close the door behind you. We're not done here yet." They might lock me up in here, but at least I don't have to see them right now. As soon as they're gone, I take the bonds that will impact my magic. They might hurt, but if I wear them without anyone knowing, I won't have to use my magic. I won't be able to hurt anyone anymore, at least not with my magic.
