Winx: the Story Goes On

Chapter 23

Fear consumes me, as I think about being late. "Come on, Lockett," a familiar voice comes, as I hide behind the bushes. "Drag her." That's when I spot Anahita, whose completely knocked out.

"We can't grab her and Piff at the same time," Tune says. "It's too much." Digit groans, glancing at both of them. Anahita is being carried against her will, and this could cause her to be put into serious danger.

"Magic orb, trap them," I say, hoping it wouldn't be too bad. A sphere appears around the pixies, protecting them from any harm and keeping them inside of it. "That is extremely rude," Tune remarks.

"Release us!" Chatta yells, meeting her gaze. The rest of the winx rejoin me within minutes, as I step out of the bushes and reveal myself. "Do you like my little trick, pixies?" I ask.

"Good job, Aqua!" Stella states, with a smile on her face. Bloom steps towards the pixies, with a nervous expression on her face. She starts to chant something, before a ray of light comes at them and heals the pixies.

"You did it!" Flora says excitedly. "This is amazing!" I nod in agreement. In the next few seconds, Anahita wakes up and immediately spots me. She flies towards me, before giving me a big hug.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't come back!" She states, with tears in her eyes. "I should have stayed to help you handle the Trixs! I'm sorry that you had to protect me!" A rustling comes from the bushes, as Jax comes running towards us.

I smile. "It doesn't matter now," I say warmly, glancing at each member of the winx club. Tecna and Digit were playing a game, Musa and Tune were listening to some music, Flora and Chatta were talking about Flora's love life, Aisha was carrying Piff, Bloom was chatting with Lockett, Stella and Amore were talking about fashion, Rena was now talking with Anahita, and that left me alone.

"You sure a big help to your friends," Jax's voice comes from behind me. "They really cherish you." His yellow eyes stare into my blue ones, as my heart hammers within my chest. Do I have a crush on him?

"I'm really thankful for them," I admit, as a soft wind blows against my hair. "I don't know what I would do without them at times." He smiles, as we walk side by side back to Alfea.
