SCARS AND BRUISES II fate : winx saga

blood witches

"People might die but they can still cause you problems even from hell."

POV Olivia:

The way Scar was talking, I could tell that it's pretty serious. So as soon as Saul has left the apartment, I approach Stephen in his apartment. "Olivia", he says surprised and looks at me worriedly, "What brings you here?" 

"What's happened? Scar just stormed into our apartment and needed Saul", I tell him but Stephen furls his eyebrows. "Our apartment? Didn't you live with Andreas?", he asks me confused without judging what I'm saying. "I-" 

"What happened between Saul and you?", Stephen interrupts me interested and I sigh taking myself a glass of water. "We had a moment", I mumble and try changing the topic again, "Scar interrupted us and she seemed upset. What happened? If she knows about something and they need Saul, it's likely that you know about it as well." 

"I liked you better when I was a kid, you know", Stephen replies frustratedly but I know that it's just him having a hard time and trying to deal with it through sarcasm, "Rosalind is dead. Bloom has killed her because Rosalind.. Sebastian has told Bloom that Rosalind killed Farah. I know you were close friends, you and Farah. I'm sorry." 

"Farah is dead?", I gasp sitting down quickly. Farah is dead. No, Farah's strong, she can't be dead. How would Rosalind be able to kill her when Farah's strong enough to defend herself? "Olivia", Stephen sighs and sits down with me, "I know what she meant to you and Saul. She's also been an important in Scar's, Sky's and my life and she was loved by so many." 

"She was", I nod sadly and let Stephen pull me into a hug. "You should go back to Saul and talk to him", Stephen suggests, "He knows more and I know he comforts you a lot better than I do. I'll try to talk to your daughter." 

"Have you talked to her at the party?", I ask him interestedly as I really hope all of the kids are going to be happy. I understand that Scar has a hard time finding out who she is and who she wants to be with but I won't stop encouraging Stephen and Riven. They're both great boys and whatever they do could help her decide. 

"I didn't get the chance to", Stephen sighs, "Of course, when I approached her a few days ago, she wasn't amused. I mainly told her to stay away from class, actually", Stephen reflects the past days, "Well, she's spent more time with Riven anyways. He's giving her joints, I would be careful if I was you." 

"Stephen", I smile at him weakly because I'm still shocked about Farah passing away, "Maybe you should stop treating her like a child. I know that you want the best for her and she needed a lot more help with her magic but she's a lot stronger than others. And I don't worry about a joint. Saul told me about your teenage years so I think you're make up for it." "Of course he would tell you", Stephen chuckles shaking his head, "Go, talk to Saul again."

Saul isn't back yet so I walk through his apartment until I notice a letter on his desk. No, actually, there are two letters and I'm pretty sure that they haven't been there before. I furl my eyebrows wondering what he's supposed to do with letters. 

Has this something to do with Farah passing away? Are we preparring for war? I can't control my curiosity so I take a look at the letters. Different from what I thought it's not about war or Saul, but Scar's, Sky's and my names are written on one letter each. 

But that's not Saul's handwriting, it's Andreas'. How did they get here? And more importantly, what is written down in them? I can't wait for Saul to be back and sit down to read my letter.

Dear Olivia,

if you receive this letter it's probably true that I'm dead. I don't know how it would happen. I've just planned to have someone give you this letter. It probably also means that Rosalind is dead. I wouldn't be too emotional about it. She's made many mistakes and I was her ally for way too long. I've hurt you, our children, Beatrix, Saul and many more people. I can only tell you what you need to know for the future and apologize for lying to you.

It's time to be completely honest. Some time after we've been getting together, Rosalind approached me with a suspicion so we have been watching you from time to time. When we had the confirmation that you're a lot more special than I already knew, we made a decision without you.

Liv, you're a blood witch and Rosalind and I have suppressed your powers when they were weak enough for her. You powers are bound to Rosalind's life so as soon as she's dead, you'll have to deal with a lot of changes. I'm sure Saul is going to support you the best way possible. I wish it was me but I can't help it. I had a feeling something would happen but I also know that you're going to make this without me.

I cannot tell you how your powers perform or if they are going to develop, but you need to keep an eye on it. Scar and you are powerful blood witches. You can risk it all or help everyone. You can fail or you can be even more succesful. It depends on how much you know and learn about your powers and who helps you. Rosalind wouldn't have told me more than she wanted me to know so this is everything I can tell you. I'm sure she hides some information in her office.

Please believe me when I say that I love you, Olivia. I've loved you since we met in that bar and I still do. I'm sorry that we never had the chance we, especially you, deserve. I'm sorry for overwhelming you with these news but if Rosalind would have known that I've told you, Saul or Scar about it, she would have hurt us all. I didn't want you to be a part of her game.

You're the strongest woman I know. The day we married is still my favorite day, by far. Olivia of Eraklyon, you're going to help them win this war. I'll see you when it's your time.

Love, Andreas

"I'm sorry, Liv, I-", Saul storms back into the room when I've just finished reading Andreas' letter for me. "What's wrong, love?", he asks worriedly when I look at him shocked. "I'm a blood witch", I state bluntly and let the letter fall out of my hand not being able to hold it right now.
