Thalassophile (Winx Club x Reader)

Chapter 18.

I don't know how many minutes have passed but I was exhausted, my hair was damp and cuts were all over my body, the girls and the Specialists looked just as beat up and it didn't help the worry that I felt, worried for Flora who's fighting in the Legendarium, trying to save Helia that has been taken by Icy.

My wings fluttered as I floated a few centimeters above the ground, the werewolves getting closer while they growled at us, glaring at us with killing intent.

"So what now?" Musa questioned, her voice trembling a little.

"They're getting awfully close!" Bloom exclaimed with widened eyes.

"These wolves are innocent men and women." I pointed out. "So we have to defeat them without hurting them."

"Right." Natsu drawled. "Everyone remain calm and maintain your postion, it's going to get dirty."

I shivered at the cold but I didn't falter, I glared at the wolves who were creeping behind trees and slowly approaching us, trying to intimidate us and so I prepared an attack with my magic.

"As far as I'm concerned, this party is getting a bit too crowded." Stella frowned as more werewolves surrounded us. 

"Hey guys we need to break the curse." Nex spoke up while aiming his weapon at the wolves.

I glanced at Nex. "Yeah no shit."

Nex rolled his eyes but there was a small smirk playing on his face. "Just felt like pointing that out."

"We can just wait for the sun to rise." Layla suggested but I knew she wasn't serious by the sarcasm that was dripping from her voice.

Musa backed away as the wolves got closer. "I wonder if a moon rise would do the trick."

"The wolves are closing in!" Bloom panicked and tried to back away but her back bumped into mine making her flinch in fright before calming down whe she realized it was me, making me bite back a laugh.

I turned my gaze to Natsu who was busy aiming his sword at the wolves, ready to attack. "Do you have a plan Natsu?"

But before he could say anything a bright green light erupted, grabbing our attention, I sighed in relief when I saw it was Flora with a frozen Helia and a totem.

"Helia, Flora!" Tecna grinned. "You're back!"

"And you found the totem." Bloom smiled while I crouched down next to Flora and the frozen Helia.

"It's the only way to break the curse of the fearwood werewolves." I added as I examined the totem. 

Just as I uttered those word, the ice melted and the totem let out a bright light making our eyes widen until they softened when I saw the wolves turning back to normal civilians again.

"Woah.." One of them breathed out while looking at his hands in confusion. "What happened?"

"Things just got a bit hairy sir." Tecna joked making me shake my head with an amused smile.

"Oh Brandon!" Stella squealed as she wrapped her arms around him.

I glanced at Natsu before walking up to him. "I'm happy this is over."

"Already tired?" Natsu raised an eyebrow, a lopsided grin resting on his face.

My eyebrow twitched as I gritted my teeth. "Not at all, I can take on more werewolves if I could!"

Natsu chuckled before staring down at me with softened eyes. "I like you."

"Huh?!" My eyes widened in shock and awe. "How can you just bluntly say that?"
