The Special Outcast #Wattys2015

Part 7 - Skyline's Rain

Hmm...so I change the dedication idea but ahaha. I'm giving it to her becuase she made the cover! She is also really nice and make the covers fast! Some Melinda POV for you too. Actually quite a lot.

---------

Moonlight's POV

We were currently in the middle of a pouring rainstorm that had weird lightning strikes. The sun was shining violently on us all. These were all the signals telling us it was acid rain that was pouring down from the clouds.. The weird thing was that we were protected from it by a invisible shield above us. I had a really awful feeling at that moment that our task was to pass through the horrible acid rain that could burn us all.

I remember how the last fairy we met warning. Skyline may be the most gentle among us but her rain definitely isn't. I shuddered at the thought of passing through such a rainstorm and getting myself burnt in the process. I looked around to see the CPs agreeing with me. Through the way they shuddered, the way they took deep breathes to come themselves done. The only person who remained emotionless was Careful, you could barely see emotion written on her face. Her eyes were blank too - she was preparing herself.

"I'm Skyline and you would have to pass thorugh me to get to the scroll you want to find," she stopped and smiled at us before continuing,"you all have been very brave but it is not the end yet. You have to pass many test to get to the Scroll of Destiny. You all have passed all the other test of the Keepers of the Scroll. Now you would have to pass mine. See that light over there? You have to walk over there to meet me, I will be waiting and only the most determind and positive soul would pass this test to bring all of you back to light. Good luck."

She disappeared in front of us and I shuddered.

"I'll go first," Careful said before walking into the rain. We saw her shoulders burning and her legs started shaking before she drop down to the ground. She was no longer moving and she was disappearing fast. No way.

"I'll go get her and bring her to the light, you all stay here!" Diligent called out to us before running into the rain. We saw him run past Careful, covered in burn marks - He, too, collapsed on the ground.

"We would have to get to the light to solve all this! Remember what the fairy said?" Cameron told me before running into the rain. He didn't even last until the point Careful and Diligent reached before collapsing. I was the last one left.

I clenched my teeth before taking a step into the rain. I saw all 3 of them disappear and the light moving further away from me. I shook my head before running towards the disappearing light. I inched closer to it every time I took a step. I kept continuing despite the pain my entire body was experiencing. I felt like I was running a marathon and my body hurt but I have to keep pushing myself to win the race. It worked, I reached the light and almost immediately the clouds cleared up.

The sun ray shining down healed everyone's burn marks and everyone was standing up again - well and happy. The fairy appeared again.

"You manage to pass the test once more, you are an outcast to those who can't pass but in a good way..."the fairy chuckled,"There are a few more test to pass and I would have to remove one of you. That would be you Cameron. I hope you aren't to disappointed." 

She smiled at us as she wave her hand over Cameron. I glanced at Careful and Diligent who looked almost too relieved that they weren't sent away. I sighed at that thought, I was probably the next one to be send back the the CPs but I'm not sure if I would mind. I felt exausted.

Melinda's POV

I looked at Skyline telling them about their next mission which I was sure wouldn't be easy through the nymph's globe. Time was running short and Xigix really needed them to find the scroll soon. I was also getting worried that if they do not find the scroll quickly, Xigix may not even exist anymore which saddens me a lot.

Laurel glanced at me looking unsure from the side. You could tell from her actions and expressions that she was the most worried among us, I just hope she would not show her worry when in face of the CPs.

I also hope that whoever that reaches the scroll will understand its message and find out how to unlock the spell to reach out to all the nymphs.

I glanced into the globe once last time before turning away as I watch Jessilyn fly away into the horizon to give the CPs their second last challenge. I sighed as Cover closed the globe.

She dusted us with some awakening dust before saying,"Take some rest before Jessilyn fly back. We will need all the rest we need."

"Yep, let Jessilyn do the work while we rest now!" Laurel said, clapping her hands making me come to the conclusion that clapping her hands at the very end of her sentences was her habit or passion.

"Right,"Skyline said,"I'm exhausted, especially from my task just now. The acid-curing rain thing wasn't an easy spell at all!"

I chuckled at her reaction as I thought back to how I created the bubble around the CPs. It was definitely not easy.

"They have reached. I think we should get some rest before Jessilyn comes back! My job will be the easiest since I only have two candidates to deal with though!"Laurel said clapping her hands excitedly which make me comfirm that clapping her hands at the very end of each of her sentences was her habit or passion.

We all chuckled at her "lazy" attitude before closing our eyes for some rest but not before glancing into the globe and wishing the CPs good luck.

They'll need it when in face of Jessilyn's test of sacrifice.

--------------------

So you had quite a bit of Melinda's POV. I actually wrote it to increase the length of the story from 600+ words to 1000+! That isn't counting this very very long author's note:)

I ran out of good Winx Club songs so I gave you a song by Lenka and it is tittled "Unique"! Remember everyone, you're unique.

I also have a new news. I'm going to publish another book tittled Gone Case! It would be Romance and PG-13 and it isn't about magic.

So I took a break from Romance by writing this and Many Lovely Poems which I won't be ending very soon!

However, I hope to complete ths book by 8 November 2014, Friday. I won't be completing Many Lovely Poems too soon thoughXD

Also, I will love to accept your request for a one-shot or imagine in my other book! Just PM me:)

Dedication on the next chapter could be anythingXD 

Another thing is that I follow back
