SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

love

"I would do anything for them, I'd risk it all for you."

POV Olivia:

"How are you feeling?", Saul asks me in the morning and gives me a cup of tea. I sigh. What can I say? I feel like someone has ripped out half of my soul. Andreas may not have always been easy but he loved me and he was trying to be a good husband and father. 

He was about to be a dad just as good as being a fighter. It hurts even more to know that Sky and Scar are hurting, even more knowing that they didn't have a chance but still, they feel guilty. "Don't worry about me", I tell Saul and smile at him weakly, "We have to take care of Sky and Scar now." 

"Liv, no. I have to take care of them", Saul stresses giving me a serious look, "You have to calm down and take time for yourself. It's been a hard time since you arrived here. You need a day off." "Did you have a day off in all of those years?", I counter skeptically but furl my eyebrows when he giggles, "What?" 

"Nothing. It's just.. the feisty Liv reminds me of old times when you used to discuss with Andreas and I all night long." "I liked that", I admit, "You two knew how to be annoying but we had some interesting discussions." "Yeah, we did", Saul sighs nodding. 

"What did you want to tell me when Andreas has interrupted us a few days ago?", I change the topic interestedly knowing that he wouldn't forget about it. Saul's not the type of person who forgets about what he's said. 

"I was about to tell you why I've supported Andreas when leaving with Sky and Scar." "Why?", I ask quickly. I've always wondered why he would do this. I wasn't surprised about Andreas somehow, but Saul disappointed me a lot. 

"I was about to tell you about all of this so many times. I thought of just taking you with me here often. But we weren't allowed to. We have to make sure this world is safe. I don't agree with Rosalind often but I understood why she prohibited us to talk about our lives." 

"I wasn't just someone, Saul. We knew each other for more than three years. Andreas and I were married", I state as his explanation just made it worse for me. "I know, I know. But you were so much more, Liv. You were-" "Yeah?" 

"You were the love of my life", Saul admits slowly and corrects himself, "You are the love of my life." "Saul-" "No, it's fine. We don't have to talk about this. I just need you to know that I was torn between you and being a soldier-" 

"You're a soldier, Saul. I understand that. But Scar and Sky are right when they complain about this. You're too strict with them because you're too strict with yourself. You're not only a soldier, you're a lot more. And just because you're a soldier, you don't have to put yourself under so much pressure. You're still a human being." "Liv-" 

"I'm glad that you took Sky and Scar with you", I admit sighing heavily, "I couldn't have raised them like you did. You were able to give them a place to be and where they can fulfil their passion and be who they are. Still, I wish I could have been here with them." "I'm sorry, Liv. I would go back and decide differently if I could, I promise."

POV Scar:

"Hello?", I ask answering call on my phone. "Hello Scar", Sebastian's voice sounds and I'm about to hang up but he stops me, "Don't hang up, little Scar. I've got some information for you. I've waited more than a week to call you." 

"What information?", I ignore his attempt to provoke me. He's not worth it. "Information about your family, your scar, your powers", Sebastian continues and I can imagine him smiling evilly, "I know a lot about you. The ones you love the most could hurt you the most, you know." 

Why do I immediately think of Andreas? I shake my head. No. It needs a lot more to make me even think about becoming his ally. "Nice try, Sebastian. Did you really think I would join you after you made me kill my dad?" 

"It was just a matter of time until someone would kill him.. again. But this is so much more than about one person, Scar. We could rule this world together", Sebastian gives it another try but I chuckle and hang up.

"Can I help you?", Beatrix asks when Sky and I approach her. "Stella's got class. We're here to get the book. Do you have it?", Sky asks and Beatrix looks from Sky to me. "Quiet weird. I thought you'd apologize because you killed my dad." 

"He's been our dad, Beatrix", Sky butts in defending me, "And he was about to kill Silva. Scar didn't have a choice." "You know that I didn't have a chance", I justify my actions in front of her. She looks at us raising her eyebrows but takes the book out of her bag. 

"And because it is like that, everyone's going to let you get away with it. But I won't", she threatens me as she looks at me dangerously and pushes the book into my arms and leaves. "We've made great progress", I sigh. 

I never thought it would be possible to say I like Beatrix but I used to like it when we were joking and laughing. It was a lot easier. "She'll get over it", Sky tells me softly making me shrug. "She's more like a revenge type of person but let's see", I nod. 

I can't change what's happened, no one can. Sky and I go separate ways back to our rooms. When I open the door to the suite, Bloom smiles at me as she sits on the couch. "She's here", Bloom announces and the girls gather in the living room suddenly. 

Most of them smile at me. Stella gives me a worried look and Terra grins at me. "I know that your life has been hard lately, but-", Terra begins but I interrupt her smilingly. "I can tell that you're excited to talk to me about something so just spit it out", I chuckle. 

"I've realized that.. I like girls. A part of me always knew it but-" "Terra", I exclaim happily, "That's great. I'm proud of you for listening to your feelings and telling us all." I get closer to her to hug her tightly. Terra deserves all the best.
