Broken And Betrayed

                       "I can do it
                        I can do it
                  I'll get through it"

When they walked back into Alfea everyone stared at the Winx, Frieda being helped by Ace the trauma and pain she went through hidden behind her eyes as she continued to lean on Eric for support. The rest of the Winx followed behind but when Flora walked into Alfea everyone stared at her and the flower she was holding; the legendary rainbow gardenia and on her left Helia soon to be married to Crystal Princess of Linphea. The group continued through the courtyard avoiding the stares and questions, Ace and Eric helped Frieda towards the infirmary while a fuming rainbow council and Corwin followed behind.

I demand to speak to Princess Frieda at once Jackson said, in fact all of us wish to.

I'm afraid that won't be possible Eric said, the healer told me specifically that no one especially the rainbow council will seek an audience with the Princess until she is fully healed.

You can tell the paladin to say it to our face Della said, besides we have full reasons to arrest Frieda.

What Eric and the Winx asked in horror.

Oh be quiet you're friend is dangerous and you know it's true Jackson said, she'll be put where she should have been since the end of last year, Oblivion. Don't you agree Corwin?

Corwin looked at Jackson hatred flared in his eyes, but he was employed by him and he signed a contract; whatever it takes to keep the magic dimension safe he whispered refusing to meet anyone's eyes.

You don't mean that Corwin take it back Flora said, you know as well as any of us that it's Frieda keeping the magic dimension safe, that she's willing to die for it's safety. And you think that sending her to Oblivion where the worst villains that have ever lived are kept, will keep us safe?

Frieda's dangerous, Corwin said we have to stop her before she does anything worse.

What! I thought you were on my side Frieda said from the doorway, I thought you trusted me. I thought...... you called me a savior did you not mean it. Look me in the eye and tell me what you think about me Corwin, Frieda said looking at him as tears dripped down her face, tell me what you think?

Monster Corwin said so quickly that he was even able to stop himself and that wasn't even the worst part; he believed it, he thought Frieda was a monster, he thought she was dangerous, and for a moment he would smile at the thought of trapping her in Oblivion. He snapped out of his daze his hands covering his eyes Frieda I didn't mean it I swear.

I wish I could believe you Frieda said looking at Corwin in horror as she let Ace push her back inside. Another gift of rainbow had come to her, the ability to read minds; and she wished she didn't but....... Ace you're brother......

He's an idiot Frieda don't listen to him Ace said as he locked the door so no one would bother them, Ophelia is getting you a calming potion now, it's dangerous to look at magic veins when you're in this state.

Ace, Frieda shouted to get his attention your brother thinks I'm a monster and he would smile at me getting locked up in Oblivion.

I didn't hear him say that last part Ace said looking at Frieda in confusion, when did he say that?

Never Frieda said, I received another one of Rainbow's gifts; the ability to read someone's mind and I read Corwin's, and for a moment he smiled at the fact of me being locked up. Why? I thought he was on our side, and now the code on the spell is more readable and he thinks I'm a monster and deserve to be in Oblivion.
