CHAPTER TWO 

     The dining hall, to absolutely no one’s surprise, teemed with life. The cacophony of noise that filtered past the dark oak doors of the Solarian castle could be heard echoing through the corridors. Helios pushed the doors open and joined the scene with ease, effortlessly blending into the organized chaos. Selene hesitated. She felt Prim tugging on her hand, and she followed without asking any questions. Prim led her to the table so they could have first pick of the seats before the food came out. From their perch, they could observe the entire room.

    Riven argued with Sky as her father watched, amusement glittering in his eyes as Helia tried (and failed) to mediate. Selene noticed their proximity to the fire poker with slight alarm, waving her hand to move the sharp objects just out of reach. Past them, Nabu was trying to teach the triplets a magic trick involving some sort of coin and a disappearing act. They watched him with solemn brown eyes, while Star giggled behind them. Harmony was deep in conversation Tecna and Flora, who both leaned in to hear their eldest niece that much better. 

    Musa was talking to Bloom, who avidly listened as her fingers absently combed through Stella’s hair. Stella was comfortably splayed across Bloom’s lap, fast asleep. Selene couldn’t help but bite back a smile : her mother always lit up whenever everyone was over, as if a piece of her had been missing and the other’s brought it back. Selene assumed that wasn’t too far from the truth. She’d listened to all of her mother’s stories intently, more than Helios or the triplets ever had. She knew how much her aunts meant to her mother, and watching them all together never failed to soothe frayed nerves. 

    The bell signaling the arrival of dinner startled her out of her thoughts. Within minutes the others streamed to the table, filling the seats as family style portions lines the center of the table. Cordelia and Blaze tried to grab at the food before it was fully on the table, obviously starving after their day of training. Selene anxiously scanned the table again, noticing Koda and Chip’s absence as she shifted uncomfortably. Her throat tightened with anxiety. What if she had been wrong when talking to Prim? What if Koda really was in trouble? What if he and Chip had managed to get themselves into trouble and she had been the one to stop others from looking for them? Her thoughts progressively got worse, her fingers pulling at the loose threads on the placemat. 

    Prim squeezed her shoulder gently. “Hey, breathe, Selly.” Green eyes glimmered with concern. “They’re probably goofing off. I’m sure they’re already heading down, no doubt Auntie Tecna already sent Chip a message to let him know to come and get food, alright?” Her voice was soft and as always, she understood what had Selene worried. Selene let out a breath, giving a shaky grin. “You’re probably right…”

    At that moment the door creaked open and the two entered sheepishly. Selene’s tense body relaxed, and she could enjoy the meal. As it usually was with their family, dinner was a frenzied blur. The younger kids told stories in exasperatingly long detail, fighting amongst each other to hold the adult’s attention. Kai and Harmony seemed to hold an entire conversation without uttering a word, Helios watching both of them and making faces when they ignored him. Blaze stole food off of Delia’s plate and nearly got speared by a fork. Chip and Koda excited mumbled about something in between mouthfuls of mashed potatoes. Selene tucked her hand happily in Prim’s, using the other to pick at the food on her plate.

    After dinner, Helios wasted no time enacting his plan. He gave both Blaze and Delia a look, and both of them grinned back at him. The three of them began Operation : Sleepover. Helios started them off, blinking golden eyes in a show of faux innocence. “Mommy, do you think the gang could spend the night?” His voice dripped with sweetness, which Blaze and Cordelia echoed when they added, “Please, Auntie Stella?” 

    Stella looked hesitant for a minute, shooting a look at the rest of the Winx. After a few minutes of whispering among themselves, they turned back to the anxious faces staring at them. Stella grinned. “Of course. But no funny business, mister. I have a conference call with Dakian royalty in about an hour, and I’ll probably be there most of the night. So I’m trusting you guys, alright?” 

    Helios nodded enthusiastically, “Of course! Cross my heart. We’re going to be watching movies in the theater room, Koda and Chip were talking about analyzing the animation of some old Disney movies for their project. Blaze brought some from his Grandpa Mike’s house.” Blaze held up the book brimming with old CDs. That drew laughs from the rest of the adults. 

    Helios attempted to dash straight to the theater room, skidding to a stop as he heard his mother call after him. “Helios Aegle, get back here! I know you didn’t just leave without saying goodbye to everyone, because I raised a gentleman not a heathen!” He turned back sheepishly, rushing to say his goodbyes and escape before … “And take your sister with you. Selene, honey, please make sure the others don’t get too wild. Prim sweetheart, you too. I trust you too to keep things in order.” Dammit.

    Helios inwardly groaned but his sunny smile didn’t budge until the seven kids left from the room, making their way down to the private theater. They settled among the comfy couches. Chip ran down to get snacks, Koda tagging along as he sorted through various movies. Helios pouted, sure that his plan for one last fun night before they headed back to their respective schools was ruined now that buzzkills number one and two were babysitting. Blaze, however, didn’t get the memo. “So, Sol, when are we leaving??” 

    “We aren’t.” Helios sighed, shooting a glare at his sister. “Little Miss Perfect here would never let us go.” 

    Selene dark eyes flashed with hurt as she hugged herself. “Go where?” 

    “Downtown. It’s a tradition.” Cordelia answered solemnly, shoulders sagging as she sighed. “Blaze, Helios, and I have been going since elementary school. Sneak out and have one last night of fun before school starts, you know?” Disappointment colored her tone, and Selene felt guilt blossom in her chest. 

    Helios snorted. “Please, don’t tell her Delia. The only thing she’ll do is squeal to our parents. Selene can’t handle breaking any of their precious rules. She’d sooner break our hearts.” He knew it was unfair to place the blame on her. But he was frustrated, there were times when he felt like she loved laws and lore and legislation more than she loves him. All he wanted was one night where she let loose, one night where she stopped worrying about everything so goddamn much. “Heaven forbid she isn’t the golden child.”

    Selene recoiled from the contempt in his voice and the obvious disappointment scrawled across Cordelia and Blaze’s expressions. Was she really ruining their night? Was she really breaking their hearts? A good sister would never do that … but her mother had asked her to keep them out of shenanigans and a good daughter would never disobey that...she could feel her heart hammering against her chest as tears to her eyes. Her breathing went unsteady, and Prim immediately helped her sit down.

    Prim shot a nasty glare at Helios, rubbing Selene’s shoulder gently. “By the Dragon, Helios, shut up! It’s a stupid idea anyways, you’re all lucky you haven’t been caught yet. You know how tense things can get for both Solaria and Eraklyon, taking unnecessary risks is-” 

    “Sometimes you have to take risks to live!” Helios fired back, cutting her off as he sprung to his feet. He paced around the room, trying to blow off steam. “God, you and Lena both! All you ever worry about is doing what’s safe. But don’t you know how tiring that is? Is it so much to ask for a night of fun every now and again? Huh? You’ve always gotten everything you’ve wanted, Primrose. Because you’ve never wanted anything dangerous or reckless or exciting!” 

    Prim flushed. Her gaze dropped down to Selene, lingering longer than necessary while her heart pounded wildly against her chest, before she fixed a glare on Helios. Her tone made ice look like fire. “You don’t know anything about me.” Her hands trembled with barely contained fury, fingers itching to bring out her whip and really let him have it. Before she could, Cordelia tugged her back roughly and Blaze did the same with Helios. 

    Blaze glanced around the room, worry obvious. “Come on guys, cool it. We should just-” 

    “I’ll do it.” Selene’s voice could barely be heard, and yet it seemed to stun the room. Helios turned to look at her, bewildered. “What?” 

    “I said I’ll do it. I’ll … I’ll sneak out with you guys.”

CHAPTER 1

Part 3

The light that managed to penetrate the grimey window glittered off the row of high tech, half finished gadgets. Koda’s eyes swept over the table, violet hues wide and mouth hanging open shocked awe as he examined everything before him. It wasn’t often he hung out with Chip - more often than not he was nestled between Selene & Prim - but Helios had created a distraction and whisked him away. In all honesty, he didn’t mind. He rarely did. The brilliant blue of a machine caught his attention. Dried purple paint flecked off his eyebrows, a sharp contrast to the metallic gold glistening across his scrunched freckled nose, as stained fingers went to grab it. “Cool! What’s this?”

Chip slapped his hand away, glowering as he did so. “Don’t touch that, Kody.” His voice lacked it’s usual bite, as it often did when it came to his younger cousin. “You could get hurt. Those aren’t tested yet, mom and I haven’t made it that far.” He fidgeting with his hair, needlessly smoothing his thick lavender locks. Watching after any of the younger kids stressed him out, as he made very clear in an attempt to avoid this very situation. He was going to murder Helios the next time he saw him. Lower lip caught between his teeth, he sighed. “Come over here, kid, you can help me with the animation.” 

Koda’s face lit up, and he wasted no time scrambling over. “Animation? What kind? What drawing pad are you using? What are you doing? Is there a color scheme?” He wasted no time pulling the offered tablet from his older cousins hand, grinning like a madman. “This...this is a new kind of pad, isn’t it? I’ve never seen one with so many layer capabilities, and the colors are gorgeous…” he breathed in awe. 

Chip chuckled, nodding. “It’s one mom and I are working on. The company isn’t set to release it for another six months, but it’s going to be a hit. We widened the saturation capabilities, added nearly four hundred new shades of color, preprogrammed it with sixteen new brushes, and increased the layer capacity by two hundred percent. Not to mention managed to reduce any lag for bigger files by nearly fifty two percent.” He fiddled with his glasses, beaming at Koda’s floored look. “You can have that one, if you want. You’ll be able to use it better than I could.” He added after a minute. 

Koda’s fingers brushed the edges almost reverently, eyes shining. “Really? You would...you would just give this to me?” 

“Yeah just don’t...you know...break it or anything. And make lots of gorgeous designs to show off at Alfea.” Chip said with a grin, before his pocket vibrated. It was his phone, letting him know that dinner was ready and the others were expecting Koda and him down in the dining room. He stood up, stretching his tall frame and nearly sagging in relief as his spine popped. “Now come on Kody, we better get down to the hall before everyone assumes we were kidnapped by aliens, or attacked by evil robots.” 

“It wouldn’t be the first time.” Koda shot back with a pointed look, gently setting the art tablet on the table for fear of it getting ruined in the dining room. (It was both the blessing and curse of having a huge family: the spontaneity could ruin your things. Especially if the younger kids got their hands on it.) 

Chip scoffed and rolled his eyes. “That was once. And a programming glitch. Besides they weren’t evil, they were just passive aggressive.” 

“They tried to murder Helios!” 

“Who wouldn’t try to murder Helios if given the chance?” 

They both laughed, voices growing more distant as they descended the stairs and reunited with their family.

CHAPTER 1

Part 2

    “No.” 

    Prim stared at her closest friend in shock, blinking once, twice, three times before she could muster a response. “What?” 

    “No.” Selene said again, with more conviction. “We are not pushing my brother out of a window. He may be a douche, but he’s my douche.” Her voice fell to its usual soft tone, playing with Prim’s fingers almost absently. “Beside, it’s Leo. Do you really think he’d do anything to Koda? If I had to guess, he probably left him with Chip. He’s just trying to pull a reaction out of you...don’t give it to him.” 

    Every muscle in Prim’s body tensed as Selene grabbed her hand: her heart picking up its pace and drumming against her chest as her lungs collapsed in on themselves, leaving her short of breath. She could feel Selene’s fingers ghosting over hers, every nerve coming alive under the gentle touch. Most of what Selene said went right over her head. The only thing she could see was the way dark eyes went from navy to brilliant harvest bell and forget me not blue: like sunlight filtering through stained glass. Most people assumed that Selene’s eyes were black, and boring, but most people were wrong. They didn’t see the way they flared to life when she talked about the people she loved, or the newest book she immersed herself in. They didn’t see the way the sun turned them to crystals and flowers and oceans and the night sky and every other beautiful thing. They didn’t… 

    Her train of thought was cut short as Selene looked at her in concern. “Rosey, are you even listening to me?” Amusement leaked into her tone as she gently bumped Prim’s shoulder. Prim seemed to shake herself out of whatever trance she had been in, and gave a half smile. “Yeah yeah, no pushing Helios out of a window. Buzzkill.” Selene laughed, and Prim grinned. That laugh was her favorite sound in the world. 

    “You know you love me.” Selene teased, and Prim nodded. More than you know, her heart yearned to say, but it settled for a soft, “Maybe.” They sat in comfortable silence for a few precious minutes, Selene pulling Prim’s soft, navy blue hair into a loose braid while Prim near hummed in contentment. In that moment, the world came to a stand still. Nothing else mattered. Not the upcoming dinner where six smaller families become one indistinguishable one. Not the worry of receiving her first official report card from Red Fountain. Not even the urge to strangle Helios could ruin this moment. Selene rambled on about her newest book, cadence rising and falling as she explained the plot twists and characters with the utmost love, and Prim hung on every word. 

    That was, until a husky voice over her shoulder whispered, “Shame we don’t see that smile more often, Primrose.” Instinctively, Prim jumped, grabbing at Selene and pulling her down to the ground where they rolled together, Prim using her body to shield Selene from any possible harm while maniacal laughter echoed from behind them. Still hovering over Prim, she snapped her arm to the side and activated her whip. It flared to life, a brilliant white, and she jumped to her feet and whipped around … to find Helios. He grinned, and in that moment it took everything in Prim not to strangle him. 

    Selene pushed herself to her feet. Her face burned a thousand shades of red, her breathing uneven as she struggled for the words to say. After a moment of fumbling, she managed a sharp, “You suck.” Her twin just grinned back, waving it off. “Oh come on, Lena, I was just playing around.” Helios gave his most charming grin, which earned him a slap on his shoulder and a glare from Prim. Her whip wrapped around her wrist, glittering under the light as it went back to its inert form as a bracelet. “You have a funny way of playing around, asshole.” 

     “Don’t be so angry.” Helios laughed, throwing an arm around both girls shoulders. “Besides, mom sent me up. Dinner is ready, we’re supposed to meet everyone in the dining room.” With Prim rolling her eyes and Selene waiting for her blush to subside, the three of them headed toward their waiting families, the girls fingers linked behind Helios’ back.

CHAPTER ONE

PART ONE

    Blaze stood stock still, chest rapidly rising and falling as he struggled to catch his breath. His fingers instinctively tightened around the hilt of his broadsword. His hair had come loose from his bun, joining the blazing sun and the sweat dripping down his forehead in an effort to blind him. Where was she? Feeling the ghostly whisper of anxiety’s clammy hands along his spine, he trusted the gut feeling that told him to duck. A dagger flew over his head and embedded itself in the wall behind him. Crap. If it weren’t for his sixth sense, it would have been game over. Still Blaze gave a hearty chuckle, blue eyes glittering with amusement as he adjusted his grip, lips pulled into a smirk. “Damn Delia, if I didn’t know any better I’d say you were going soft.” 

    From up in the rafters, Cordelia scowled. She knew he was doing it to taunt her into sloppy attack, but that didn’t make her any less angry. She steadied herself, getting another butterfly knife to throw, but before she could Blaze caught sight of her. He grinned, a wild and vicious thing, before winding back and releasing a boomerang aimed at the beam she was on. Delia back flipped off, rolling along the ground before she springing to her feet and pulling out her scimitar in one fluid motion.

   Blaze rushed forward, always the hothead, and they began their deadly dance. Blaze’s attacks were strong, but sloppy. What Cordelia lacked in strength she made up for in speed and precision. She didn’t falter, blocking each swift blow and dancing just out of his reach before lunging forward and hitting his legs, arms, and torso — spotting every vulnerable spot and hitting without mercy. Their blades cut through the air so fast it was hard to keep track of what was happening, their battle clouded by flashes of blue and gold. Finally it drew to a close after a well aimed hit to the hilt that made Blaze hiss and loosen his grip long enough for Delia to knock his blade from his hand. 

   She grinned, sweeping her foot back and kicking his sword as far back as she could. Blaze scowled, holding his hands up in surrender. “Still think I’ve gone soft?” She asked, her sword level with his chest. There was an unmistakable lilt in her tone, her grey eyes sparkling with delight at having bested him. Their rivlry had been going on as long as either of them could remember, and neither one was too pleased when they lost. 

“Yeah yeah whatever. I let you win.” Blaze shot back, glowering. Cordelia laughed, shaking her head before helping him up. “Sure you did, prince charming. Come on, we’ve got to go meet the others.” In that instant, the tension from their training faded away, and they were teens again. Friends. Family. He gave her his patented lopsided smirk, throwing a sweaty arm around her shoulders. “Fine, gorgeous. But after we meet up with the dork patrol, we’re going again. And this time, I’ll be playing for real.”
