The Return | Winx Club

chapter nineteen

“But I don't want to go! I love staying with my friends and play with them all day!” Lilian complained again to her parents, Flora and Helia, who were packing the last bit of their belongings.

“Sadly, it's for the best, Lils, but look at the positive side, Auntie Aisha offered us to stay in her castle. You can still play with Zale and Aqua.” Flora said, kissing her forehead then entering Lilian's room, for the last time in a while, to check if everything was taken. Since the mansion was owned by the Winx and Specialists, they could come back anytime they want, although, right now wasn't the time.

“But I don't want to!” Lilian recited her statements as she didn't have much vocabulary to say something else.

“You don't like Zale and Aqua?” Flora frowned.

“No, I do,” Lilian mumbled, nodding her head and Flora smiled that she was at least happy about that and turned back to her room.

The nature fairy noticed that her daughter forgot a paper on the floor, and when she picked it up, Flora recognized the drawing of the flower instantly.

“Oh, it's you.” Flora made a disgusted face, scrunching her nose as the flower moved again on the paper and the fairy gasped. “That's it, I'm dreaming, again.”

“Mom, can I have daddy's drawing?” Lilian came in, pulling her mother's skirt to get attention onto her.

“You like this?” Flora asked confused, giving the drawing to her daughter with no hesitation as Lilian nodded and smiled.

“It talks to me, we're like besties.” Lilian turned the drawing to kiss it until it suddenly started to glow.

The little girl looked at it in confusion and out of nowhere she stuck her hand through the paper, that unexpectedly went in and Flora felt choking herself from what she could see. Lilian didn't even realize what she was doing when she took the flower out of the paper, that same wave hit again but it was stronger than last time that gave Flora a headache.

“...Lilian! How did you--” Flora involuntary shouted as she gasped and covered her mouth. The little girl also got scared and dropped the flower and ran to her mother.

“Mommy, I d-don't how I did that!” Lilian panicked, hiding behind Flora's leg.

“It's okay, it's okay. This must be the early premature stage of your powers evolving.” Flora calmed her daughter then went to pick the flower up. When she looked at it closed she noticed there was a void in the middle of it, like there was a piece missing that needed to be entered to have a full image. “That shape looks like...”

“Girls, what's going on-- wait a minute, where did you get that!?” Helia was shocked to see the flower that appeared always in his dreams in the hands of his wife. Weirdest thing, the paper on which he drew on the flower was empty, only showing a hole with the missing flower's shape.

There were butterflies and birds of every type flying around the family of three. One of the butterflies landed on Helia's nose as Flora and Lilian lightly chuckled while he gently shook his head to make the insect fly away and landed to a flower that was above all. Its petals had little spots of every color from the rainbow and shined under the sun's light.

Suddenly, the happy faces on Flora and Lilian faded away, then their bodies disappeared too.

“Babe? Lilian?! Not again--”

“Everyone died. Even I did.”

That same voice that often hunted Helia in his dream appeared again. The beautiful landscape around him faded away too, with ashes and fire taking over and the young man turned around to a young girl with very pale skin, platinum hair, a knee-length white dress that was ruined and dirty. Her ruby eyes were also lifeless and did not shine as much as Helia's did, given that he was the one alive between the two.
