SECRETS | Fate: The Winx Saga ~ Alternate Season 2

Chapter 15

Saul stormed out of the castle, panting, panicking, hoping to reach the forest as quickly as possible, worried sick about his wife.
He didn't have time to take a few steps when several black cars with tinted windows stopped in front of him.
The Queen got out of one of them, still elegant, accompanied by police officers, who surrounded the headmaster, threatening.

"Saul Silva, you're under arrest for attempted murder," she announced in an icy tone.

The Specialist took a step back, confused. Attempted? But that meant that...
At that moment, Andreas stepped out of another car, looking nonchalant, and above all, satisfied with the surprise effect.

"Andreas!"

Sky's progenitor walked towards his enemy, chin up, a mocking smile on his lips.

"And yes, it's me, I survived, you didn't even manage to kill me, you moron," he taunted. "I can't wait to pass on my skills to the students, and most importantly, to Sky."

Saul clenched his fists and growled, very angry, furious to see his face again after what he had done.

"Leave my son alone, after what you've put my wife through, I'd advise you to stay away from him," he replied, staring him in the eye. "And soon, everyone will know what you did to Farah, and you'll pay."

Andreas pointed his index finger wickedly at his chest, irritated.

"Sky is my son, not yours, and you have no evidence to convict me!"

Saul remained unimpressed and retorted:

"All we have to do is take a DNA test and we'll see who his parents are..."

"Except that's not evidence, it seems to me that your dear wife is on sabbatical, I'll have no trouble arguing the fact that she was consenting," he responded, savouring his former friend's pain.

At this point Farah's husband's blood ran cold, he was sure he knew something about what Rosalind had done, or her intentions.

"You are in touch with Rosalind, am I right? She was planning to kill Farah, wasn't she?!" he exclaimed as he stirred, ready to fight him.

His enemy continued to laugh in his face just to enrage him; even though he hadn't needed to ask the blonde fairy to kill her former student, for him it was a kind of revenge that he particularly relished. If he wanted to see Saul suffer, he knew that going after his wife was the best way to achieve his ends.

"Don't worry, your dear Farah is in good hands, and also, apparently, she's strong, she'll be able to stand up to her, unless she's very tired, of course," he laughed, insisting on the last part of the sentence, knowing that the headmistress was particularly exhausted.

"You're such a scumbag!" spat the Headmaster of Specialists, ready to pounce on his face.

Police officers prevented him from doing so, holding him firmly and handcuffing him.

"Dad!" cried Sky as she rushed towards him, distraught, followed by Beatrix, who seemed quite calm.

Andreas turned and the young guy froze, shocked to see his sire alive, here at Alfea.

"Good morning, son," he greeted him with a smile.

The teenager clenched his fists in rage. How could he indulge in such familiarities after all the horrors he had committed!

"You?!" he roared, avoiding coming closer. "You dare to call me your son, after what you put my mom through? You should have died, you're just a mistake of nature!"

His sire walked over to him, looking authoritative, and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I advise you to speak to me nicely, because your dear parents won't be able to protect you anymore," he grumbled, sarcastically.

Suspicious and beside himself, Sky stepped around him to stand next to his real dad, under Luna's hard gaze.

"And what are you going to do to them? Either way, I'm going to kill you, asshole, cowards like you should be eradicated, and I'll have your hide!"

Saul and his son exchanged a look of both sadness and pain. Farah's husband could see how much the young man was suffering because of this progenitor, and he was angry at himself for not having succeeded in killing him. Nothing had gone right, everything had gone wrong. Andreas was alive, he was going to take his place as headmaster, and Rosalind, freed from her cell, had decided to kill the woman he loved. It was a nightmare.
Suddenly the Queen's voice rang out, curtly, unkind.

"Headmistress Dowling has gone on sabbatical for an indefinite period, Rosalind will replace her. As for Saul Silva, well, there's a cell waiting for him in Solaria prison, and Andreas will take over as head of the Specialists," she declared, formally.

"With all due respect, Your Majesty, you can't just let this one replace my dad, not after what he did to my mom," protested Bloom's boyfriend, whose anger would not subside.

"Stop, I don't want to hear another word!" she scolded him, annoyed, before turning to the police officers. "Take him away!"

Hearing this, Sky burst into tears, and Saul hugged him one last time, tenderly stroking his blond hair, heartbroken.

"I'm sorry, Sky, I couldn't save your mom...I have to go, and I wish you wouldn't do anything stupid," he whispered, moved. "Stay with your friends, with Bloom, with Ben, and stick together. I love you, son."

"I promise, Dad. I love you."

But Sky was willing to move heaven and earth to get him out of this, and to save his mom. Not sure he would keep his promise. They stood there for a while, forehead to forehead, holding each other's back of the neck.

Saul was forced into one of the cars, which started and gradually drove away from the castle, leaving him alone with his grief and pain.
