SECRETS | Fate: The Winx Saga ~ Alternate Season 2

Chapter 37

After dark, the small group of Terra, Aisha and Sky quietly left the castle. They were lucky that Riven had stayed at Beatrix's place, and hoped not to run into anyone in the moonlight. They made their way to the edge of the forest, where Saul and Farah were probably attacking the barrier on the other side. If they were spotted, they would put the whole group at risk.

"Let's hurry! Dowling and Silva are right there!" urged Aisha, pointing to two figures in the distance.

"Sky, we need you to watch our backs, only fairies can attack the barrier and damage it," Terra warned him excitedly. "We'll meet them soon, I can't wait!"

The Specialist nodded, giving a thumbs up in approval.

"Alright, I'll keep a lookout, go join them, the others will be approaching the target soon!"

The two fairies started to run towards the barrier and the couple, who noticed them, waved at them.

"Saul, the girls are coming to help us, Sky is behind them!" rejoined Farah, euphoric.

"The problem is that we can't communicate with them," sighed her husband, resigned. "But I guess they're here for the same thing we are and Ben and the others are getting ready to attack Rosalind."

Sky's mom focused on making the barrier impervious to Terra and Aisha's powers so they wouldn't be spotted.

"I hope so..."

Aisha and Terra had the good sense to combine their powers and attack the barrier in the same place as Farah, increasing their chances of breaching it.

In her bed, Rosalind did not seem to realise the extent of the damage. She was fast asleep and didn't realise how much energy she was losing, nor that Ben, Bloom and the others were only a few metres from the room.

"She looks deeply asleep," Musa murmured mischievously. "I'll get into her mind to keep her in a vegetative state."

"Yes, that will allow me to go and open the door for you from the inside," Sam agreed decisively.

His dad gazed at them anxiously.

"Just be careful..."

The young man smiled and waited for his girlfriend to give him the signal to go into action. He crossed the wall of Rosalind's suite and found the key on the door. He was finally able to open the door for his friends, who came in without a noise before walking towards the room of their tyrannical headmistress. They were planning to give her a little surprise. But they had to act quickly because reinforcements were likely to arrive sooner than expected.

Suddenly, when they reached the door of the room, Musa moaned painfully.

"She...she just fought off my attack," she stammered in panic. "Save yourselves!"

"All is said, Musa dear," sneered a harsh, stern voice as the door opened abruptly. "Thanks to my many allies, I know a lot of things. Breaking into my suite was a big mistake, it's not very nice to attack people in their sleep."

Hearing these words, Ben clenched his fists, beside himself.

"Speak for yourself, Rosalind, after what you did to Luna, if I were you, I'd avoid boasting."

The fairy moved closer to him, impassive.

"I can't imagine how immense your pain must be, yours and Stella's," she told him wryly.

"It's nothing compared to what you're about to go through," the princess of Solaria retorted, driven by a thirst for revenge.

Her teacher laughed, clearly amused.
