A Place in This World

Just a quick warning, if you are overly fond of the Flora and Helia pairing maybe you shouldn't read this because I kinda messed with it in the name of art. If you can read it without being upset about that then go ahead.

Also some of my chapters are a bit long.


Summary: Flora and Helia had a girl named Felicity then they had a major falling out. Fearing for their friend's safety as well as that of her daughter, the other Winx girls manage to transport Flora and Felicity to Earth where they will live for the next fifteen years. For that period of time Flora and her daughter go on as normal people with no thoughts of magic. Then one day it all changes with the accidental visit from the daughter of an old friend and the possession of one of the three keys to unlocking a hidden power.

Flora looked around anxiously as she waited for Stella and Layla to arrive. The floral fairy had somehow managed to sneak out of the house with her daughter without rousing Helia from his drug and alcohol induced slumber. But she knew from experience that there wasn't much time and her husband wouldn't be passed out for long.

Spotting the headlights of an oncoming vehicle Flora instinctively tensed and tried to hide Felicity's sleeping form behind her slim body. As the vehicle drew closer Flora's panic began to subside and she breathed a sigh of relief as Stella emerged from the car with Layla behind her.

"You weren't followed were you?" Flora asked walking up to her long time friends with Felicity securely in her arms. The infant just snuggled closer to her mother's body as the other two women approached.

"No, we had Nabu set up a security barrier to make sure of it." Layla assured the frightened woman.

"Are you sure you won't take Layla or Musa up on their offers?" Stella asked hopefully even though she already knew the answer.

"Yes, I'm sure. I don't want to put anyone in danger. Bloom was right Earth is the safest place for me and for Felicity. Helia won't think of following me there." Flora assured the blonde woman wishing she felt as confident as she sounded. "It'll be good to make a fresh start."

"Very well." Stella almost sounded like she was pouting. "Now hold still while I get this portal set up."

"We'll miss you Flora." Layla called as Stella began the incantation.

"I'll miss you too." Flora sobbed out as she embraced the two women who were making her escape finally possible.

"Don't forget us." Stella added

Flora nodded and tried to smile through her tears. Then with Felicity securely in her arms, she stepped through the portal, with Layla keeping an eye out for possible intruders and watched the world she'd known all her life slowly fade away.

And when I leave this world, I leave with no regrets.

So there you have it, the prolog to my newest story. This is a completely different second-generation fic than the one I have up with Rogue Scholar. Yes, Flora and Helia's daughter's name is still Felicity. But other than that nothing's the same. But I hope you all liked it. The first chapter should be up shortly.

Chapter One: Fortune Teller's Melody

(2)

Earth fifteen years later

Sixteen-year-old Felicity DiFiore had been sleeping peacefully after a long night of writing her opening thesis for her AP biology class. The brunette had been planning on lazing around until noon, but her mother had other plans.

"Lissie wake up." Flora ordered, shaking her daughter none too gently.

"Five more minutes." Lissie begged, squinting her grey eyes against the bright morning sunlight.

"No can do." Flora replied. "Because five becomes ten. Then twenty. And you're services are needed down at the shop."

Lissie groaned, the shop that her mother was talking about was a popular flower shop owned by a mysterious old friend's mother. Flora usually worked there part-time with the woman whose name was Vanessa (3) when she wasn't busy with her job as an AP biology teacher at the high school. To be honest Felicity didn't mind working there, but she'd been up all night working and felt entitled to a little rest. Unfortunately it never paid off to argue with her mom, Lissie just had to reason that it would be extra money.

"Half a day." The younger brunette started bargaining, but Flora cut her off.

"You should be done by noon at the latest. Vanessa just needs help labeling some new stock then you can go."

Lissie nodded then commenced to getting ready for the day, this included brushing her teeth while pulling on a pair of red and white track pants from her school's cross country team and pulling on the t-shirt from the same team while slipping her feet into a pair of sneakers.

"Don't forget to grab your breakfast!" Flora called as Lissie leapt down the stairs with the bag containing her laptop slung over her shoulder. "I'll see you later!"

Lissie arrived at the shop and went straight to work with labeling, armed with a small field guide and her AP project she had most of the plants labeled and put away before eleven.

"Thanks Lis, you've been a big help." Vanessa chirped as she came up behind the girl in the green house.

"Why don't you just order from a supplier that includes the labels?" Felicity asked standing and wiping excess dirt and other leavings off of her pants.

"Cost." The older woman answered cheerfully as she handed the teenager a few bills.

"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Why save time when you can save money?" Felicity was about to take her earnings and go to the park for some quiet time and typing when Vanessa stopped her again.

"Wait, Lissie. Your mom said that it's your birthday later this week."

"Uh yeah."

"Well, I just wanted to give you this." Vanessa handed Felicity a long narrow box wrapped in shimmering pink paper.

Felicity took the package and opened it to reveal a silver chain with a deep emerald stone hanging from it. It was pretty, and a thoughtful gesture, but Felicity didn't wear jewelry. Even so, it was nice of Vanessa to think of her birthday. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it. Now get going."

Felicity didn't need to be told twice, while tucking the necklace into her pocket she bolted out the door, got on her bike and pedaled over to the park in hopes of finally obtaining some down time; too bad fate had other plans for the green-eyed teen.

Half an hour after settling into a good book, Felicity's tranquility was disturbed when she caught sight of a bright light coming through the trees and the crash that followed. Seeing that the sun was still shining and there were no clouds to speak of, the brunette closed her book and went off to investigate. When she reached the clearing where the noise was coming from, Lissie had to grab a tree branch to keep from falling because there in the clearing was a petite red haired girl fending off three small red creatures with a shimmering blue broadsword.

"Hey! Get off of me!" the girl shouted swinging the sword and knocking the creatures off, one of the assailants disintegrated on contact, but there were four more to take its place. But the girl was undaunted. "So that's how you want to play?" She asked, forming a small orange fireball in one hand, "Dragon flare."

Lissie gasped in shock, it seemed that the sword wasn't the girl's only weapon. Rubbing her eyes, Lissie tried to logically explain to herself what she saw. "This is either a movie set, or pre-cal is finally getting to me." She reasoned as one of the creatures flew at her head. Going purely on instinct, Felicity raised her hands in front of her face and in doing so released a stream of pollen at the monster knocking it out.

"Wow! How did you do that?" the redhead asked, staring at Lissie with a look of awe in her large blue eyes. One of the creatures, taking advantage of the fact that the red head was distracted, lunged and knocked her down causing her to drop her sword.

"Good work." A tall-ish young man, at least that's what Felicity thought he was, it was dim in the wooded area, exclaimed picking up the sword and turning it over in his hands. "Our work here is done."

"Hey! Give that back it's mine!" The redhead shouted from the ground, the only response was another one of those strange creatures holding her mouth shut while the figure continued to examine his prize.

"Let her go!" Lissie shouted, and then as if her legs had a mind of their own, she emerged into the clearing herself. "Face me instead."

The young man, who Lissie now realized was about a foot taller than her with long black hair and grey-green eyes, looked over at the disruption and growled menacingly. "What do you want?"

"Uh, well an explanation would be nice."

"I don't think so." He replied grasping both Lissie's wrists in one hand and holding her above the ground. "I'll teach you to interfere."

"Get your hands off of me!" Lissie demanded angrily. As she struggled flash of green light was emitted from the necklace in her pocket causing the black haired man to shield his eyes. In doing so he dropped both Lissie and the sword.

Taking advantage of her stunned attackers, the red haired girl threw off the creature holding her mouth then dove for the hilt of her sword. Pointing the blade at the man she smirked. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not your average princess in peril."

Lissie suppressed a giggle as the formerly aggressive man and his small army of strange red creatures began to show signs of panic. To add insult to injury the red haired young woman threw a fireball at the retreating attackers just as they jumped into a portal.

"So, what was that all about?" Lissie asked when everything seemed to calm down.

"I have no bloody idea. But I think that wore me out." The red haired girl replied before promptly passing out on the ground.

Dedication All my wonderful reviewers who are so very patient. You guys are great


"It's about time you got back here; Serafina's been looking for you." A girl with platinum blonde hair and icy blue eyes commented, watching as a tall black haired young man entered the small room where she had been sitting, reading a book while her older sister sat filing her nails. "Where have you been Lantis?"

"That's really none of your business now is it?" Lantis snapped. He sat down on one of the couches littering the room and pointedly ignored the brunette.

"Harsh much?"

The older girl, this one with short sandy brown hair and green-gold eyes looked up from her nails and sighed. "Lantis is just upset because he went skirt chasing on Earth and came back empty handed." She explained flippantly before going back to her manicure.

Lantis demanded looking pissed but also a little embarrassed. "How did you find out?"

"Selia told me." the sandy haired girl replied calmly as she went back to more pressing matters.

"And how did she find out"

"I followed you of course." The blonde answered flippantly

"Selia, would it kill you to mind your own business just once?" Lantis sighed. "In any case, if you followed me then you should know that I was outnumbered."

"You were beat by two girls." Selia baited.

"Do tell." Serafina commented abandoning her manicure. "Who were you chasing Lantis?"

"A red haired specialist by the name of Samara (3) I thought she might have that sword we're looking for." Lantis explained.

"And the other girl?"

"I ended up on Earth with a few of my minions and that's when she showed up. I have no idea who she is."

"So, you were beaten by two girls without magical powers?" Serafina's voice was shrill. "You're one of the most powerful wizards in the magical dimension, how could you let that happen?"

"Both of those girls had magic." Lantis protested, glaring at Selia

Serafina nodded. "Go on."

"The specialist seems to possess some sort of fire magic and the Earth girl shot spores at my minions… and she had a necklace with a green stone. The stone glowed and blinded me."

"That hardly makes it better." Selia snickered. "One of the most powerful wizards, the most powerful one at Cloud Tower blinded by a stone. Honestly Lantis you're pathetic."

Lantis ignored Selia's jab and looked over at Serafina. "Do you think that the stone is the one we need?"

"Let's just concentrate on finding the sword and getting more information on these girls." Serafina replied getting up and pacing about the room. "You say that these girls are still on Earth?"

"They should be."

"Then maybe one of us should pay them a visit." Selia suggested.

"I'm already ahead of you on that, as usual. Delia is already scouting the area with one of her pets."

"Delia! But she's just a freshman." Serafina protested instantly worried about the younger of her twin sisters. "Why not just turn ourselves over to the authorities right now?"

"Relax Fina; I'm going back up there to extra support."

"Yeah, that's so reassuring Lantis." Selia commented rolling her eyes. "My twin sister with her little animals against two girls who brought you down."

"Enough bickering!" Serafina ordered. "Lantis, you may leave now. But I don't want to even catch a scent of you until you've obtained some sort of information about those girls."

"Got it Fina." Lantis replied. Then with a slight bow, the onyx haired young man created a portal and headed back to earth to catch up with Delia.


Back on Earth Felicity had no idea how she'd managed to get that girl to her house on her bike without dropping everything into the street. Nor did she have any idea why her mother's face paled and her green eyes threatened to bulge from their sockets when she examined the face of the unconscious girl and the insignia on her black leather jacket. All Felicity knew was that for the first time in the sixteen years she'd been alive there was no logical explanation for what she had just witnessed.

"So, what exactly happened to you in the park?" Flora asked her daughter? The two of them were relaxing in the front room preparing to tackle some school work and waiting for their guest to wake up. Felicity was lounging in her favorite chair by the window taking bites of a sandwich while trying to finish up her biology paper and Flora was getting ready to grade some tests an unopened answer book sat on the coffee table between her and the couch where their guest was napping.

"I already told you mom." Felicity replied tersely.

"I know, but you were talking so fast that it was hard to understand everything." Flora answered apologetically.

Felicity blew a stray piece of brunette hair off of her forehead. "Fine. Like I said I was trying to get some down time in before coming back here to finish up my paper and I saw a flash of light and some noises coming from a few feet away." She paused and took a bite of her sandwich. "So even though the logical side of my brain said to just ignore it, I went to investigate and I saw that girl battling with a few monsters."

"What was she fighting?"

"You heard me, a few little red beastie things." Felicity raised her grey eyes to meet her mother's emerald ones. "I know it sounds totally off the wall and you'll think that school is finally getting to me, but she was fighting them off with a blue broadsword along with the occasional fireball."

Flora dropped her grading pen where it fell to the hardwood floor with a plunk. "What was she using?" she asked hoping she'd heard wrong, but knowing in her heart that she hadn't.

"A shimmering blue broadsword and fire. And then this necklace that Vanessa gave me decided to glow and blinded this guy who'd grabbed me for interfering. Oh and I shot pollen spores at some of the beasties." Felicity finished dully before slumping back in her chair. "Please tell me I'm going mad (4) by degrees."

Instead of confirming her daughter's beliefs, Flora decided to tell her something completely different. "Lissie, I don't think you're going crazy. Sweetie I believe that there's something very important that I have to tell you."

"About what?" Felicity asked suspiciously.

"About who you really are."

"What do you mean, 'Who I really am', I'm Felicity."

"And you're a fairy, just like me."

"What?! Mom that's not even remotely funny!" Felicity shouted standing up.

"Lissie, calm down." Flora soothed.

"I will not calm down!"

"At the very least lower your voice."

"Absolutely not!"

Amid all the commotion, the other girl woke up and looked from Felicity to Flora. "Where am I?"

Flora and Felicity stopped their argument to look over at the red haired girl who was sitting up and staring at both of them curiously. "Hello." Flora greeted as her daughter glared silver daggers at her head.

"Hi," the girl replied politely. "Where am I? And what happened."

"You collapsed after that incident in the park, so I took you back here to my house." Felicity explained her voice still friendly even while she was glaring at her mother with a look that should have felled her on the spot.

"Oh, that was nice of you. Thanks for helping me by the way."

"Eh, yeah you're welcome. I'm Felicity Di Fiore by the way and this is my mom, Flora." Felicity gestured to her mom. "Who are you?"

"I'm Samara Daphne Giamarco princess of Domino. But everyone just calls me Sama."

"Nice to meet you. " Flora said shaking Samara's hand. "How did Lissie help you out?"

"I was on my way to Magix to attend Red Fountain when those creatures came along and attacked me forcing me to land here." Samara began. "I was over powered and this young black haired man took my sword and I thought I was done for. But then Felicity showed up and took care of them. It was really something to see all that pollen all over the place and then that stone."

"Felicity, I'm impressed." Flora commented smiling at her daughter.

Felicity's voice was icy when she replied. "Well, I'm not. I'm freaked out. I'm supposed to be filling out college applications not becoming a human plant."

"But Lissie it's like I told you before. You're not a normal human girl, you're a fairy." Flora argued.

"I wish you'd stop saying that, it's not funny."

"But it's the truth."

"No it's not mom!" Felicity shouted standing up and glaring at her mother. "The truth is that my father abandoned you when you were pregnant with me and you found work with the mother of a friend of yours and then worked your way through college. The truth is that you've been raising me for the past sixteen years on your own. The truth is not that I'm a fairy or any other type of mythical creature because they don't exist." At this last comment she looked straight at Samara daring the red haired girl to contradict her. "Now if you'll both excuse me, I'm going to my room to finish my homework."

"Oh dear," Flora muttered sinking down into her chair after Felicity had stormed up the stairs. "That didn't come out how I had planned."

Samara laid a comforting hand on Flora's shoulder. "Some things never do."

Meanwhile down the street from where Felicity was now working out her anger on her calculus homework, a black eyed young woman with her pale blonde hair in a ponytail and an athletic build was strolling along the sidewalk with a rather large dog that to the untrained eye looked like an over grown Siberian husky. However, this was no ordinary dog and its handler was no ordinary woman. The dog was a tracker, much less conspicuous than hunter trolls, these dogs were coveted by magical beings, and this one belonged to Delia Foxglove. Delia was on a mission to find two girls who'd ruined her friend's plan. One yip and a howl from her dog brought a light to Delia's coal black eyes, her prey was just two houses down.

"Good work, Lugh (5)" She said stroking her pet's head. "Lantis will be thrilled, let's get going."

Well, finally another chapter done. I'm sorry for the wait and the way the ending of this chapter is. Now please review. I'll do some more work tomorrow.
