SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

back at Alfea

"After leaving so abruptly, it's good to see that they wanted her to get back."

"How was it?", Riven asks me as we pack my mom's bags into the car. "It was good", I say, "She's afraid of seeing dad again but she can't wait to finally see Sky again and be with us." "And how are you feeling?" 

"I actually.. I feel great, Riven. It went much better than I expected. My mom wants to actually see me and spend time with me. What's better?", I answer honestly, "Thanks for joining me, Riv. I won't forget what you've done for me."

"Of course, S", Riven nods slowly, "But Scar.. you were always afraid of using your magic. Today-" "It's fine, Riv", I interrupt him quickly not wanting to talk about me using dark magic, "It was for a good reason. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't feel like I had to." 

"Okay, but take care of it and talk to me before you do it out of fear", he makes clear and I agree being glad that we could quickly stop talking about this topic. At least I believe that I was doing the right thing.

A few hours later we arrive at the school's barn in which we park the cars. I feel relaxed as no one seems to have seen us on our way. I actually expected dad to have soldiers search for us or the car. 

It's sunday evening so he must be back from Eraklyon but maybe he's talking to Rosalind and knows that we wouldn't just run away. Sky knows that I'm on a mission and that I'd be back so dad knows that we would bring the car back anyways. 

"Look who we have here", I suddenly hear his voice as I get out of the car, "I didn't expect a lot of you, Scar, actually nothing. But you could have stayed away at least." I gulp looking to the ground. As much as I'm glad to have mom back, dad's words hurt hard. He would have wanted me to stay away. He's got Sky and Beatrix is his foster daughter. He doesn't need me in his life. 

"I'm shocked to hear how you talk about our daughter, especially after you've taken her away from me", I hear mom's voice behind me after she's left the car as well, "After a decade of not talking to her, you should be glad to be able to see her." I look at her and it makes me happy to see that she doesn't agree with dad. She defends me. 

"Olivia", dad whispers shocked. He looks as if he knew she'd be dead and she's alive to his surprise. Fun fact, he looks even more shocked than Saul, Sky and I did when we saw dad a few weeks ago. "Andreas", mom says now softly probably remembering their time together. "How are you-" 

"Scar and Riven found me and wanted me to come with them. I'm here to see my children and be there for them. Be the mother they've needed", mom states clearly. "Scar, Riven, go back to your rooms. I will talk to you about a penalty tomorrow", dad orders us and turns back to mom, "We need to talk about a lot." 

I look at mom to see if she would just let dad send us away like this but she nods at me smiling. "It isn't right to snap at you", she comments the way that dad is talking to us, "But I think it's best if you go back to your friends. Andreas and I have a lot to talk about. I'll see you and Sky tomorrow, I promise. I won't leave." "Until tomorrow, mom", I say as we hug each other before I take Riven and we go back to the specialists' house.

"Where the hell have you been?", Sky snaps at us as soon as we enter the room, "Dad was freaking out! Rosalind wants to suspend you if you make one more mistake." So Rosalind wants to suspend me? Me, the fairy that she wanted for her war? 

Even if she suspended me, I'd just take mom and go back to the first world with her. I laugh imagining Rosalind's look on her face when she sees mom and realizes that she can't hurt me at all. "Are you out of your mind, Scar? Do you even know what that means? How could you help her, Riv?" "I-" 

"We found mom", I tell Sky and feel my lips forming to a wide smile, "Mom's here at Alfea. She's talking to dad now but she'll see you tomorrow." Sky doesn't believe me at first but Riven confirms my words so Sky starts asking a lot of questions and we sit down to talk about everything. 

Eventually, Sky thanks me for making this possible and excuses himself for letting me do this alone but I shrug. It's not like he had a choice with Andreas ordering us to do everything that he wants.

As I come back to the winx suite, the girls sit in the living room together. "Scar!", Stella exclaims and rushes over to me to hug me. The others join us and it turns into a group hug making me smile. Riven's right. I've got him and Sky and all of my friends. We're a great group. 

"What happened? Where have you been?", Terra asks and I can feel her worrying about me. "Sky and we've been worried sick", Bloom adds, "No one knew anything about you and Riven." "Yeah, Andreas and Rosalind were talking about expelling you", Aisha tells me so I shrug. 

"I know, Sky has told me about it. Riven has joined me to the first world. We found my mom", I summarise smiling proudly and all the girls let their jaw drop, "It's been worth anything Andreas or Rosalind could do to me. I don't care about them anymore." 

"How did you find your mom? Hasn't she left?", Musa asks first. "I've visited Saul and he gave me a picture of her and the address. We've asked her neighbors and found her at the country club that she's been working at." 

"Wait, Mr. Silva had a picture of your mom in his pocket?", Stella asks confused, "You know what that sounds like, right?" "Yeah, mom said something about it. Unfortunately, she didn't say that I'm Saul's child", I chuckle finally feeling as free as to make a joke again, "But I will have to talk to her a lot more. We've got so many things to catch up on." "Tell us more!", the girls demand so we sit down in the living room all together and I tell them more about my adventure.
