Flora’s POV

“Stella what are you doing?”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about, imposter”
That when I see the imitation of me walk out.
“No no no, You’ve got it all wrong. That’s the imitation.” I quickly say.
“That’s exactly what an imposter would say.” Musa said.
I roll my eyes realizing this argument is pointless and use my magic to make vines come out of the floor and absorb the goo then go back down into the floor.
“Get it!” Bloom yelled and then they all started to chase me. I slide down the stair rail, run out the back door, get on Maya and start to ride off back into the woods.

    I keep looking back to make sure they aren’t close. I let out a sigh of relief. When I go to round the corner Maya stops quickly which nearly throws me off and scares me that maybe we’ve been blocked off by them. But when I look all I see is Tecna.
“Tecna! I’m so sorry, what are you doing out here?” While getting off of Maya to see if she was okay.
“Oh I was just heading back to the palace I have something I wanted to share with you guys.” She replies.
“Flora, are you okay? You look anxious.”
“The winx are trying to kill me because they think I’m an imposter. It’s the same one that attacked me.” I quickly respond.
“There she is!” I hear them yell while running around the corner. I back up a little.
“Tecna get away from that thing!” Timmy yells why grabbing her arm am trying to pull her away but she pulls her arm away and walks back over to Flora.
“No. Did you guys even let them try to prove who they claim they are?” She asked.
No one said anything.
“Exactly.”
“So one of you prove yourselves.” Tecna said.
Me and the imitation stare at each other. I start thinking of a way to prove myself. One it can’t possibly know. And then it hits me. I take a piece of paper of of my pocket and unfold it. I walk up to it and put my hand out for it.
“After you.” I say.
“It’s just a crumpled up piece of paper.”
“And that is why you’re not the real Flora. Because if you were you’d know that with a little magic…” I say while making it glow with magic and start folding itself back together.
“It would turn into a origami swan, from Helia.” I finished while holding it in my hand then blew it to make it fly away leaving a trail of sparkles.
“Your move.” I say.
She smiles before pushing her hands toward me that sent a force that sent me into a nearby tree. Then she used magic on the winx, specialists and Maya so they couldn’t move.
She walked over to me with a smirk on her face. She broke a thorn branch off of a tree and held it against my throat.
“It’s a shame this had to end so quickly.” She says.
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to kill you. I just have a message for from Icy.” She said while handing me a piece of paper.
“Take it.”
I hesitantly take it.
She stands back up and throws the branch on the ground.
“Have fun.” She says before flying away.
The spell comes off of them and they walk towards me.
“Are you okay Flora?” They immediately ask. But I’m ignoring them while reading this letter. That every word makes me fill with anger. I can feel my face turning red.
“Flora?”
I shove the paper in the pocket of my jacket and without saying a word I walk through them and get on Maya.
“Flora where are you going?!”
Ride off again. Ignoring them yelling my name.

    I go to a meadow a few miles down. This meadow was where I always came if I was mad, sad or wanted to relax. I climb into my favorite tree of them all. The one where I marked me and Ryans name. That was back when we were together. I sit on one of the middle level branches.
“I’m so sick of everything right now.” I whisper to myself.
“Even me?” I hear someone ask while popping their head out from around the tree.
“Ryan?”
“In the flesh.” He said while sitting on the branch with me.
“What are you doing here?”
“I kinda followed you here.”
“Why?”
“I wanted to take you somewhere Alejandra loved to go.” He said.
“My name is Flora now.”
“Well this is something Alejandra specifically loved to go.” He said.
“Come on.” He said while climbing out the tree.
I hesitantly follow along.
He climbs on Maya.
I get on the back and he starts to ride off.
In about 15 minutes he had finally reached his destination.
“Close your eyes.” He said.
“Why?”
“Just do it.” He says while getting off the horse and tying her to a tree.
I do it but he also covers my eyes and makes me walk.
When we’re inside a building he uncovers them and tells me to open them.
I gasp.
“I miss this place.” I say.
