Fairy of The Ice Dragon (Book 1 Of The Ice Dragon Series)

Chapter 11: Lagoon Of Fears

The Winx jumped out of the portal device that Tecna created and landed back in their living room. Aisha did a quick glance around the room and saw that the pixies were nowhere to be found. She found a small note on the table, and read it to find that the pixies were in the archive. Musa pulled out her phone and gave her dad a call. After a few rings he answered.

"Hey, dad! .... Yeah, it's good to hear from you too.... I actually called because I have to ask you something..."

Musa's voice trailed off and she took the call into her and Tecna's room. All the girls went to their respective rooms to change into their regular outfits. Right after Luna finished changing, she played with the bracelet Alister gave her. She smiled softly at it. Flora glanced over and smiled.

"Are you two dating yet?"

"What? No, not yet anyways. I'm still on the fence about this whole thing..."

Flora gave a reassuring smile. Just then, Luna's phone rang. The princess checked to see who it was from.

'Speak of the devil.'

Flora quickly exited the room as Luna answered the holographic call. When Alister appeared on the screen she smile happily.

"Hey you."

"Hey yourself."

"How was the mission?"

"Great, we got three of the charms. We're gonna head off to Melody soon for the next ones."

Alister glanced way and a slight blush dusted his ceeks.

"Well be careful. I don't want you to get hurt."

Luna's face glowed red. She gave a small laugh before nodding.

"Thanks. I'll do my best."

For a long moment, the two just stared at one another. Alister bit his lip.

'Just say it Alister!'

He took and deep breath, and quickly said what he needed to.

"When this is all over. When Zeref is defeated and the Ghouls are gone, do you wanna go on a date with me?"

"Yes! I-I mean, yeah. That'll be fun."

Alister gave a beautiful smile that made Luna go red.

"Great! It's a date. Good luck on your mission. Call me if you need anything."

Luna nodded and said her goodbyes. Once she hung up she smiled. After taking a deep breath, she went to join the others. When she entered they all turned to her.

"Oh good. Just in time. Guys, my dad said that there is a lagoon that fits the description Misoro gave us. There's even a story behind it."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Tell us."

"Okay, okay Tecna, jeez. The story goes like this. There was this woman, the most beautiful to ever set foot on Melody. Her name was Arrow. She was born and raised on Melody. Every man wanted her and every woman wanted to be her. Arrow could of had any man or woman she chose. But there was only one that had her heart. His name was Claude. Arrow and Claude were madly in love. Everyday they would go to the lagoon they met at and stare into it's clear waters. Eventually Claude decided to marry Arrow. But tragedy struck, and Arrow's worst fears came to reality. Claude was killed. He died on his way to propose to Arrow. He was stabbed in the heart and left on the street. The worst part is, no came to help him. Arrow pushed everyone away. The night of his funeral, she cast a curse on the lagoon her and Claude loved. The curse was that if anyone stepped foot in the lagoon, she would drag them to the bottom and trap them in their worst fears 'till the end of time. Just like her."
