House of Memories (Book 2)

Chapter 48- Discovered Secret

Severall weeks had passed since her date with the Trix and not much had happened since. Ruby had given Stormy her number on the day of Musa's concert so she often texted her and her sisters whom she had given the number as well on their date, but aside from that, they didn't get many chances to meet up. Since Lord Darkaar figured out that they were in a relationship he started giving the Trix more and more work to do, barely giving them any time to live their own lives.

You don't care my ass. I swear Copycat I will murder you as soon as I get the chance. Ruby thought as she made her way to Faragonda's office with the other Winx. Again. They had been called to speak with the Headmistress about some important matters. Again. This time, however, Robin had been called along with them.

On a brighter side, that night Musa, Ruby and Robin were going out as the day of Reneé Rapp's concert had finally arrived. Ruby had woken up with a huge smile on her face because of it which got both Bloom and Flora really worried about her. They even tried to check for a fever.

Speaking of Bloom and Flora, another thing that has been getting on Ruby's nerves were the Winx in general. Since the attack of the Shadow Virus the group hasn't exactly been in harmony like it once was. Consequently, they lashed out at each other easily and started fights by simply one of them breathing wrongly. It was infuriating. Musa and Flora seemed to be the only ones bearable. Ruby just hoped this unpleasant ambience would soon pass.

As they arrived at the office, Bloom knocked twice on the wooden door. Few seconds later Miss Faragonda told them to go inside. Bloom, Tecna and Stella entered first, followed by Musa, Flora and Layla and lastly Robin and Ruby.

"Good morning Miss Faragonda. You wanted to see us?" Bloom spoke, walking towards the Headmistress' desk where she stood.

"Yes we need to talk." Faragonda said with a serious look on her face.

"Oh, fuck. What did we do this time?" Ruby asked, crossing her arms as she stood between her sister and Flora.

"Ruby, I told you countless times to stop speaking that way in front of Faragonda." Bloom scolded, frowning angrily at her sister.

"Relax, Bloom. Geez."

"Girls, please don't fight." Faragonda interrupted, raising a finger to silence them. "Well, Winx we've had a difficult time lately haven't we?"

"That's an understatement if I ever heard one." Stella replied.

"As you all know, Lord Darkaar already has three pieces of the Codex. Now if he obtains the fourth one his magical powers will be impossible to beat."

"Oh, that'd be so awuful." Flora gasped, interwining her finger in front of her.

"Oh that'd be so awful." Stella mimicked Flora, glaring at her annoyed. "Then do something about it instead of just standing there complaining."

"Hey, shut the Hell up Stella. It's not like you're doing anymore than she is so hush." Ruby defended, stepping in front of Flora.

"Oh, here comes Ruby, the knight in shining armour to protect her princess. Say, why don't you dump those mystery girls and date her instead. You'd at least finally confirm everyone's suspiscions."

"You're the one who's all talk Stella." Musa said, backing Ruby up.

"Like any of you could do anything against the Trix." Stella argued.

"I can do much more than you could ever." Ruby challenged.

"Oh yeah?"

"As long as you Fairies remain quarrelsome and devided, you are useless in the struggle against Lord Darkaar." Faragonda told them, stopping the fight from getting any worse. "In light of the situation I feel we need to take drastic actions."
