Corruption Point [4]

One More Card Left To Play

"You build me up and then I fall apart"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bright color from Frieda's attack had finally died down, and all of the members of the rainbow council were unconscious on the floor. Frieda was still standing, but she seemed tired, yet that didn't stop her from facing the Winx.

She's tired Ace said quietly, she must have used too much magic and energy.

I say we try again with words Violete said, you were so close Jenifine.

She's not going to trust me, Jenifine said, she'll think it was a trap, for me to distract her while the rainbow council came.

But you stood between them Flora said, surely that means something?

Maybe normally Tecna said, but this isn't the Frieda who cares if you try to help her, this Frieda is dangerous.

It makes sense to attack now while she's weak Corwin said, before she has the chance to regain her strength, but there is still hope if we don't want to hurt her.

So what do we do Musa said, try with words and give her the chance to regain her strength, or straight out attack knowing we could probably win her?

Try with words Bloom said, she might be able to gain back some magic but not enough, so if we fail we can still attack.

And if we succeed, Stella asked, how does one help someone who just came out of corruption point?

I think Aisha said we should test our odds before we get our hopes up about her coming out of corruption point.

I agree we'll worry about what happens next when it happens Lillian said, right now let's focus on where we are.

So, Frieda's voice snarled loudly catching them all off guard, was that your plan all along, to trick me so the pathetic rainbow council could lock me back up again. I should have known, besides you fairies are well known for your innocence; well you're not so innocent anymore now are you?

Frieda please Jenifine said, we don't want to hurt you we're also against the rainbow council; they were wrong in what they did, but we are on your side, please trust us.

Frieda remember what mom sacrificed herself for Violete said, it was for you, she believed in you; we do too. Now you have to believe in yourself, fight back Frieda.

Pathetic Frieda said looking at her sisters, you're pathetic. Leave me alone, I'm a monster, and I will destroy everything I touch. So unless you have a death wish leave.

We're not leaving you Frieda, Flora said stepping forward towards her.

We're your friends we'll stay by your side the whole way through Lillian said stepping forward towards Frieda.

No matter what, Bloom said we'll stick by your side.

It's what friends are for Stella said as she walked towards Frieda.

It's okay to trust us Aisha said stepping forward, you did it before.

When you barley knew us Musa said, you have given us these necklaces.

Each and every one of us owned a necklace Tecna said, friendship necklaces as you called them. Whenever we were in trouble we'd press the button.

And it would let everyone else we were friends with know Bloom said, so that they could come help us.

When you first got here Flora said, you entrusted each one of us with a necklace. You trusted us before, you can do it again.

Look, Lillian said pointing to Frieda's necklace; you have one too. We all do, because we all trust each other; because we know that when we need help that someone will come running to help us. You made sure of that, we are not leaving your side just like you would never leave ours.
