Fate the winx saga : Tecna's arrival chapter 6

It took me a while to post this but here is the sixth chapter of my fanfiction about Fate the Winx Saga.

“There you are!” Beatrix said as she pulled Tecna into the garage. Beatrix had a sour look on her face as she lit up a cigarette. Andreas and his students quickly left and Tecna and Beatrix were left alone. The remnants of their secret mission were swiftly cleaned up as they strode right past Tecna.

“Don’t fucking mind them. They’re just idiots, following bogus orders,” Bea said as Teca could feel Andreas’ gaze burn into her back from afar.

The man had the eyes of a hawk and the ears of one too, if you had to believe the rumors.

“And you called me here for…?”

“You’re my friend, of course I texted you,” Beatrix said as she sighed.

Another friend? So soon? Tecna thought as her mouth fell open a little. “In that case, can I offer you some advice?” Tecna asked as she went to sit beside Beatrix and took the cigarette out of her hand to put it out.

“Hey!” Beatrix said and small blasts of lightning erupted from her fingers.

“Those things will kill you, Bea,” Tecna said, and she saw Beatrix’s face lit up as she used the nickname. “Besides, who cares if they are following bogus orders. They’re the idiots and do you know what fucking smart people would do?” Tecna asked as she pulled Beatrix up to her feet. “They would get a fucking drink and enjoy their evening.”

“I thought you didn’t drink,” Beatrix said as they walked out of the garage with their arms hooked into each other and into the puddles the rain had left behind.

“Not much. Just on special occasions and with friends. Besides, I like remembering what idiotic things drunk classmates do when I’m the only one sober.”

“I like you,” Bea said with a smile, but her attention was called away as she looked at the ripples in a puddle that appeared out of nowhere. She let an electric current run over it and Stella appeared on top of it. The remnants of her illusion quickly drifted away, and her cheeks turned bright red from shame.  

“That’s funny. She said the same thing to me and afterwards lied to me,” Tecna said laughingly as she pointed at Stella. “I thought you needed to go and do something with Bloom and Aisha.”

Interest flashed over Bea’s face and a guilty look appeared on Stella’s as she looked around her trying to come up with an excuse.

Tecna shook her head. Of course it wasn’t that easy to make friends, she thought with a disappointed look on her face. Everyone had secrets and Tecna was the first to admit that, but that didn’t mean that it didn’t hurt when someone lied to you.

“I…I… the two of you can’t say this to anyone,” Stella said as she took a step closer. “It’s really embarrassing.”

“Do you think we can be silent, Tecna?” Bea said as she looked at Tecna and laughed wickedly.

“I don’t know. That depends on what the secret is,” Tecna answered with a smile.

“I was looking at sky!” Stella nearly screamed out.

“Yeah that is embarrassing,” Bea said as she scoffed at the thought alone.

“Sky? Why?” Tecna asked as she grabbed Stella by the arm and hooked her other arm into Stella’s before continuing their walk together. “I thought you were over it.”

“I thought so too,” Stella whispered, “especially when my suitemate is his new girlfriend.”

“And I thought that crocks were out of fashion,” Bea remarked as she looked at Stella’s footwear, if she would even classify it as proper footwear.

“Yeah well they’re comfortable,” Stella said as silently apologized to Tecna. “What are the two you going to do?”

“We’re going to the library,” Tecna said and she could feel Bea’s resistance. “Why there?”

“Because all the books are there and you told me you would show me all the secret magic shit that this school had to offer just a few days ago, didn’t you?”

“Yes but we don’t need to be in the library for that, then we would need to go to Rosalinds office. Those are the interesting books, but we can’t. not right now.”

“Aren’t you Rosalinds favorite secretary?” Stella asked and Tecna could feel Beatrixs frustration grow stronger.

“A fucking secretary! She promised me she would teach me all kinds of secret magic shit and she refuses to. She’s too busy fawning all over bloom.”

“Well if Roslind refuses to teach us then maybe we should help ourselves,” Tecna said as she led her friends towards the library.

“Sounds like fun,” Beatrix said with a smile. The thoughts of drinking were soon forgotten but her smile quickly faded when she thought of her father.

Tecna could tell that Beatrixs resolve weakened and she tugged her arm a little. She looked to Stella’s side and saw the hesitation in her eyes.

“I have a secret, and I need you both to keep it to yourselves.”

“I won’t say a word to anyone,” Bea said with an innocent smile, but Stella raised her perfectly plucked eyebrows and gave Tecna a knowing look.

“Me neither,” Stella said as she smiled silently and squeezed in Tecna’s hand.

“I was sent to Alfea for a reason.”

“And what might that be?”

“Find out the reason why fairies lost their wings,” Tecna whispered as she looked around to make sure no one was around, “And to bring them back and not just blooms.”

Beatrix’s pulled her lips into a thin line as she said : “You want to find out why hundreds of years ago fairies lost their wings. you do realize that anyone who was present when that happened is dead?”

“Do you really think that is the only way of bringing them back?” Tecna said with a loud laugh that roared in the back of her throat. “If that is what you fairies belief then it’s no wonder why no one here was able to bring them back.”

“You say that as if you know what having wings feels like,” Stella said as she tilted her head. They had finally reached the empty library. They let go of each other’s arms and walked into the empty halls with dozens of shelves filled with books.

“I can only imagine what it’s like, but I do know someone that knows what is to fly. Her name is Digit and she’s my pixie.”

“Pixie?” Beatrix yelled out in enthusiasm as her eyes started sparkling. “They’re still alive? I thought the burned ones had destroyed all the pixie villages.”

“Shhht!” Stella shushed Beatrix as she used her magic to see if there were other fairies nearby that were using light magic to stay hidden.

“Not all of them,” Tecna said with a thin smile as she let her purple mini laptop appear in her hands.

She opened it and a pair of wings appeared in the corner of the screen.

“It’s alright Digit. You can come out now,” Tecna said as she put the laptop on one of the big wooden tables.

“Have you already revealed me?” Digit complained as she popped out of the screen and landed next to the laptop.

“I’m sorry, Digit but if we are to find out the truth then I need all of your help Tecna said as she turned to Beatrix and Stella who were still in awe of the angry looking pixie in front of them.

“Digit wasn’t born yet when fairies started losing their wings, but her village elder was. If we need to know anything about the history of it then we can either look through these books or ask the pixie elder.”

“Why don’t you ask Timmy for help?” Digit said as she flew up to Stella’s face and studied her.

“Timmy! I don’t need his help. This is our mission,” Tecna said with an indignant look.

“Timmy? As in the other transfer student from Zenith?” Beatrix mused as she looked at how Tecna’s cheeks brightened.

“The one with the glasses?” Stella asked as she finally started to get used to seeing Digit fly around them. “If he bought a different pair, he might actually be cute.”

“Yes, the other transfer student and no, he isn’t cute. No matter what glasses he wears,” Tecna said quickly, but the two fairies didn’t believe her. They only smiled as they looked at each other. “Besides, what can he help us with? “

“He’s quite an adept hacker and has many other qualities you could use,” Digit said as she flew to study Beatrix’s face.

“You like him,” Stella said with a huge grin and Tecna could see how relieved she was to not have to talk about Sky and Bloom anymore.

“I don’t like him.”

“Yes you do,” Beatrix continued as she could see Tecna getting redder by the minute. “He’s Dane’s new roommate. I can ask his number for you.”

“I don’t like Timmy!”

“Did you need me?” Timmy’s laughing voice said and Tecna could feel her legs start to tremble.
