SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

first world

"I always knew you're a good liar."

It's been another week and I wore the bonds every day. I can't even put them down without help so I don't have a choice anyways. I've put them on so I live with them. What's even more bothering me is the fact that Saul's not here and I'm not allowed to see him anyways. 

I've told the soldiers who protect the school currently that I would visit him and they immediately sent me back to have my dad talk to me. Of course, Andreas wasn't amused. „What are you thinking? He's a criminal", he stressed but I rolled my eyes. 

Saul's neither a criminal nor does he deserve anything that's happening to him at the moment. Knowing that no one would listen to me and that I would have to fight for Saul or at least support him by showing up, I've dressed up so differently that no soldier could recognize me.

"I need to talk to Saul Silva", I tell the guards quietly, "My name's Beatrix." "Beatrix, Andreas of Eraklyons' ally?" "Yes", I nod and let the guard tell me where to go. "Sc-", Saul begins surprised and he's about to hug me but I interrupt him harshly. 

"Beatrix. I'm Andreas' ally", I say and he seems to understand and sits down with me. "I came here to have a look at how you're rotting in hell", I add trying to convince the guard that I really don't like him. 

I'm a good liar but this time, it even hurts me. I don't want to snap at him like that. "Five minutes", the guards tells me and I nod before he finally leaves. "I'm so glad to see you", I quickly say and smile at him which he returns. 

"Me too, Scar", Saul says quietly and I'm more emotional hearing his voice than I thought I'd be. I haven heard his voice in two months. "Your dad's back", Saul whispers and I nod, "How is he treating you?" 

I think about his question for a moment. Should I lie so he doesn't worry about me? How is dad even treating me? He's not talking to me at all most of the time. "It's fine, Scar", Saul whispers so the guards wouldn't hear us, "I won't stay here forever. I'll find a way to get back, I promise." 

"No, don't risk anything. I don't want them to hurt you. I'll come up with an idea." "Scar, I haven't told you one thing", Saul suddenly mumbles and I furl my eyebrows. "What else is left?", I wonder afraid of what he might say. 

"Your mom.. she's not dead. Andreas took you two and left her behind. Olivia was..", Saul stops for a moment, "Olivia is a great woman. If anything happens to me, I want her to know about you and Sky. I won't leave you knowing that Andreas is the only person who's around." 

I'm about to ask why he's never told me about her or when I should talk to her or where she lives but the guard doesn't even give me a chance to ask anything else. "Time's up", he states loudly and gives me a serious look. "Nice making business with you, Mr. Silva", I make up this excuse and take the piece of paper that he's handling me behind the guard's back.

As I go outside, I look at what he's written down. It's my mom's address. Turning the paper around, I see a picture of her when she was younger. Saul had a picture of my mom with him all the time. It's somehow making me angry but I'm also glad that he held onto her.

"Sky, I need you for a mission", I greet him quickly as soon as I open the door to his room which is pretty stupid of me because Riven and Beatrix could be here together as well. "Scar, knock the damn door", Sky replies harshly and tries to put his alcohol away. 

"I've seen it already dumbass. When will you finally stop hurting yourself, Sky? This is not you", I complain worriedly. "And you burning the trees in the woods is better, huh?" "Sky", Riven warns him and I smile at Riven thankfully. 

We're still trying to find a way to treat each other but I'd say we're on a good way. "Sorry, Scar. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just.. I know that I'm hurting myself but right now, I'm not ready for any help. Just give me some time, please." 

"Fine but will you help me? Tomorrow?", I ask knowing it's friday tomorrow and we'll have time to find mom. "Andreas wants me to accompany him to Eraklyon", Sky finally admits and I chuckle. 

"It's not like I care about it but I'm the older one of us, why doesn't he tell me about it? If anything, I'd follow him to rule Eraklyon", I complain about the fact that dad hasn't even asked me. 

I don't care about the throne, I don't want to be a part of this but I care about my dad ignoring me. "I'm sorry, Scar. I wouldn't go without you if he hadn't forced me to. You know that I wouldn't betray you like that." 

"I know. Dad just thinks I'm weak", I nod rolling my eyes. "Hey, I have to meet Bloom but can we talk after I'm back? I'll tell you everything." "Fine", I groan and let myself fall onto his bed right after he's left.

"Hey, S", Riven looks at me softly, "Need someone else for the mission?" "I mean anyone could help but I'd prefer my brother to join. It's about family", I tell him quietly not even feeling anger as I'm too excited to see my mom. 

"Could I be an alternative partner? I'm quite as good as Sky, I could beat down the guards and you could visit Silva." I smile lightly as his thought of what I'm about to do is quite realistic. "I've already visited him. That's why I'm here and why I plan this mission-" 

"Wait, how did you get in there? The jail is protected by more guards and soldiers than ever before." "I've told them that I'm Beatrix, and ally of dad", I shrug and chuckle as he looks at me proudly. 

"I always knew that you're a good liar", Riven laughs but is serious again, "How is Silva doing?" "He looks bad and I'll get him out somehow but I've got to do something else first." "What do you plan to do?" "Find my mom."
