One of You? Book 3. *a winx club fanfic* [#Wattys2016 ]

Chapter 5

A few hours later, the girls had left and gone back to bed. I was still awake though. Pearl was asleep in my lap and I per her as she slept. I put her on the end of my bed and stood up. I got up and got dressed into a sweater, jeans, and scarf. I put on my boots and put my hair into a pony tail. I grabbed my purse and swung it over my shoulder before tiptoeing down the stairs and out the door. I sighed when the early morning air hit me. I hugged myself and walked down the block. I was going to the park and then walking to the house again for Conner to pick me up.

As I walked I listened to sad music. Maybe I shouldn't go out today? Oh well. Can't turn back now. I walked to the entrance to the park and sat on the bench were I first saw the winx. The memories suddenly flooded back to me.

When school was over I rode my bike to the park. I just needed some fresh air. There were some really pretty girls sitting together on a bench. They noticed me as I walked past but they looked weird. Like they had migraines from me being near them.

And then I remembered the first time I went to Alfea.

We took a bus to Alfea. Wow. It was beautiful. There was a gigantic school in front of me. We walked through the gate. I think we were a bit late. Oops. Headmistress was already giving a speech.

I smiled as all the memories came to me, even when I remembered when I first met the trix.

I turned around. 3 girls were standing there. One was wearing dark blue, one dark purple and one dark pink. They didn't look or sound very nice but they were in the castle so my parents and the guards trusted them.
"Hello. My name is Lilly."
The girl in the dark pink spoke.
"Lilly? You're name is Bloom! Ha! Sisters she's gone stupid!"
"I have not gone stupid! And my name is Lilly! Bloom is my sister. If you are looking for her I can bring you to her."
The girl in dark blue spoke.
"So you haven't been to Alfea yet?"
"No. I leave tomorrow."
"Well sisters this will be easy pickings. A fairy who hasn't learned any magic yet or how to transform. All alone."
"Who..who are you?!"
"We're the trix. And we are witches."

And then I remembered the first Tim I danced with Mathew. And all the other happy moments with him.

When I was entering the village I saw a boy on a horse talking to Sky.
I rode over to them.
"Hey Sky!"
"Oh hey Lilly I came to see Bloom. By the way, this is my cousin and heir to the throne of Linfea, Mathew. He will be starting Red fountain like you will be starting Alfea."
"Mathew this is Princess Lilly, Bloom's sister."
I turned to Mathew.
"Hello I'm Lilly."
I waved he was very handsome.
"Hello your highness."

I gulped. Did he really want to dance with me?

"Sure." I said and he took my hand.

"The next song will be for Princess Lilly. She shall be the first to dance with her partner of choice." the announcer spoke.

The music was about to start when Bloom came over to us. She placed a tiara on my head and a crown upon Mathew's. the music began and we walked to the center of the ballroom. As we danced across the marble floor more people began to join us. When the song was over I curtsied and he bowed as everyone clapped.

He took my hand and led me outside the ballroom. We walked under the gazebo.

"You are so beautiful, princess." He told me.

"Thank you." I said and blushed.

I realized he was leaning in. Did he want to kiss me? Are princesses aloud to kiss boys they just met? Oh well. I closed the space between our lips and kissed him. It was amazing. Not to shabby for a girl's first kiss. We pulled away and smiled at each other.

I pushed the rest of those memories out of my head. No. I wouldn't let him tear me apart again. Mathew had a good life with me. I had a good life with him. But nothing lasts forever. And apparently, Mathew didn't want to even try for forever. I stood up and left the park. I was done. Mathew would never hurt me again.
