Betrayal.

Pov. Izzy

Where is this girl?

Why doesn't she arrive soon?

I take a deep breath and hear Sarah laugh, I look at her who was shaking her head looking at me. I see Nick talking to Anne further back while Sasha talking to Jensen, Naya was with Miguel, Thierry and Kate finishing up the counter with the cake and the things we had prepared during the day.

- What is it ? - I ask and Sarah laughs even more, drawing everyone's attention.

- Jeez, now she was possessed once and for all by the devil. - says Jensen making a sign of the cross with his hands.

- Shut up silly, it's just my spirit of debauchery in conflict with my spirit of mockery and brotherhood. - he says and I shake my head. -Anyway, I'm just laughing at how you're falling, whipped, flat all four tires, asking for a break is almost begging to have Valentina's hot body naked in her bed. - She mocks and I slap her arm making her laugh again.

- Don't talk about her body. - I say and she slips through the upholstery of the booth bench and falls to the floor and stands there laughing.

I look at the others and see them laughing and shaking their heads, I think they are thinking the same thing as me.

This crazy girl was missed.

Missed a lot.

I hear the cafeteria door being opened quickly by Henry who seems to have run all the way here.

- She's coming. - He says and everyone settles down and he turns off the light.

I wonder where he was, but I forget to ask as soon as I hear the sound of Valentina's car being parked in front of the diner. It doesn't take long for her to knock on the door, Naya yells for her to come in and when she opens Nick lights the cake candle and we start singing happy birthday to her who was confused and looked for the light and lit it seeing better what we had prepared.

- What is it ? - she asks and Sarah pushes me closer to her making me almost fall on top of her.

- Izzy told us that your birthday was a month before you came here and you didn't celebrate it, so as it's been a month since you've been here today, she had this idea of ​​having a party for you and celebrating your birthday and his arrival in our lives. - says Jensen excitedly.

- It was my idea with input from everyone here. - I say and she looks at everything seriously. - Did not you like it ? - I ask worried and she turns her attention to me.

She looks at me for a few seconds and then pulls me into a tight hug where she sighs.

- Thank you, but you'll have to tell me how I should act, because I have no idea what to say or do. - He says softly and I smile.

- No need to say anything, just have fun. - I say smelling her.

- Okay, now release her that we also want some Valentina McGauthier. - says Jensen hugging us.

- Wasn't I supposed to release her? - I question mockingly and he pinches me.

- Group hug. - Sarah says, throwing herself on top of the three of us.

Soon Nick, Henry and Sasha join us, only Anne keeps away just smiling. I hear Valentina's laugh as everyone starts singing the Winx song.

- I know you'll want to be one of us. - they sing loudly, pulling away and holding hands and I join them leaving only Valentina in the middle. - Winx, when we hold hands we become powerful, because together we are invincible. - I sing along listening to Valentina laugh. - Winx is so good to be able to smile and the world to light up, come join us flying. - we finished laughing.

- I know I want to be one of you. - Sings Valentina in rhythm.

- Look at her letting go. - Says Sarah laughing.

- She is dangerous. - says Jensen.

- We forgot the order. - says Henry and Naya approaches holding the cake. - Makes a wish, but cannot say. - complete and she nods.

- I wish... - Sasha interrupts her.

- Can't say. - says and Valentina laughs.

- Calm down, I was kidding. - He says and I shake my head feeling happy to see him happy.

Valentina makes a wish and then blows out the candle.

- Now you have to cut the first piece and give it to someone. - says Jensen looking at me.

- We already know who will be awarded. says Sarah and the others nod.

Valentina cuts the first piece and then looks at me and smiles holding the plate towards me.

- To the person who messed me up. - he jokes and I take the plate.

- I intend to mess up even more. - I say amused and she nods.

- Making a mess is your forte, Isabelle. - he says and I shrug.

I run my finger on the cake filling and then I run my finger on her nose and she shakes her head, wiping it off. I place the plate on the table and pull it to a brighter corner.

- What is it ? - she asks and I take her cell phone.

- It's time for me to have the perfect photo for my locket. - I answer and she smiles nodding.

She takes her phone and positions herself in front of me and I smile at the picture as she makes a funny face. As soon as she takes it off, she sends me the photo right away and I smile looking at it.

- Now that the couple took the picture, how about a picture of the whole gang. says Nick and she nods.

- I take off. - Anne says taking Nick's cell phone to take the picture.

I stand next to Valentina and Nick does the same, Henry is next to Nick and Sasha is next to mine, Jensen lies on the floor in front of the brunette with one leg up and Sarah does the same in front of Nick and Henry. Anne takes the photo and then Aunt Naya the others join in for another photo, lastly Anne took a selfie with everyone.

- And now let's enjoy. - says Jensen putting on a song and pulls Valentina to dance.

I smile to see the blonde all awkwardly not knowing what to do, Jensen holds her hands and makes her move according to the music. I watch them for a while until Sarah catches my eye.

- Are you going to just watch or are you going to dance with her? - she asks and I look at her.

- I'm going to dance with her. - I answer and she smiles.

- Here. - He says handing me the box and I get confused. - Your mother asked me to keep this and give it to you when you found someone important to you. It's a family heirloom, your great-great-grandfather made it. - complete and I smile.

- Thanks. I say and she nods.

- Now I'm going to dance with Jensen and you're going to dance with her and when they're just give her this and for God's sake throw her on the wall and fill her with kisses. She says making me laugh.

I put the box away and go with her to the two of them thinking about how I'm going to tell Valentina about everything.

Pov. Valentina

Damn it.

My first birthday party.

I'm enjoying this.

I didn't know it was that much fun.

Isabelle approaches with Sarah who pulls Jensen up leaving only me face to face with the green eyed girl.

- Do you want to dance with me? - he asks looking nervous and I nod.

- Clear. -I answer taking her hand and out of nowhere the music changes from fast to slow.

I look around seeing Sarah and Jensen laughing, I look at Isabelle who was biting her lip and I pull her body close to mine and she lays her head on my shoulder keeping her lips close to my neck. We stayed like that for a few seconds while I led the dance as slowly as possible so she could get comfortable.

- I'm sorry. Her voice catches my attention.

- What ? I ask and she takes her head off my shoulder and looks into my eyes.

- I'm sorry. - he answers and I stay silent. - Valentina, I'm sorry for my reaction that day. - continues and I sigh. - I wanted the kiss. - completes leaving me speechless.

- I don't think this is the best place to have this conversation. - I say and she nods looking disappointed. - How about after I drop you off at home, after all I said you could wait for me. -completed and she smiles nodding and then takes something from her back pocket.

- Sarah gave me this, it's a family heirloom, she said my mother asked her to give it to me when I found someone important. - he says and I nod attentively. - I don't know what it is, but you and this important person and I want to give you this and I won't take no for an answer. - complete and I smile taking the box.

To my surprise when I open the box I see a locket exactly like mine, I open it and I see the constellation of Andromeda on it. She takes the locket and just like I did with her, the girl puts the locket around my neck.

- How beautiful, I'm thrilled, Sarah hugs me. - says Jensen catching our attention and I shake my head.

- Don't worry, you will still find your orange pomace and will suck it all over. - Sarah says hugging him who laughed.

We were all together laughing, talking, dancing and I've never had fun like this, in fact I've never had fun before, fun and one of Genevieve's prohibitions. When a certain time came, Nick left with Anne to drop her off at home, the rest went to their house soon after. I took advantage of Isabelle going to talk to Anaya and pulled Henry aside.

- What did you find out? I ask and he looks around.

- You have to be at Nick's house in twenty minutes. - He replied looking at the time on his cell phone. - There you will understand everything, I will hold the others here as long as I can. - He says and I nod understanding everything.

- I'll take Isabelle, she won't let me out of here alone. - I say and he nods.

- Do me a favor? - he asks and I nod. - Kick that dick face at me. - he says and I nod smiling.

- Leave it to me. - I say and he smiles.

I wait for Isabelle to come back and check the time, I have exactly fifteen minutes. As soon as the girl comes back ready to leave, I take her to the car and on the way I explain what happened earlier about the fake her and who she really was, she was very surprised and annoyed.

- Did you already suspect that? - he asks and I nod.

- Yes, since the appearance of his guardian without being summoned, he felt the danger and somehow summoned himself. - I answer and she nods.

- Maybe her scent on Nick when he showed up made him want to attack him. - he says and I nod. - I got it. - she asks and I look at her.

- Are you sure ? - I ask and she thinks for a while.

- If I can't, you can interfere. - He answers firmly and I nod.

- You will. - I say smiling.

Once we reach our street, I park on the corner and get out of the car with Isabelle. We walk calmly to her house where I see her bedroom window open, so I check the time to see that we're five minutes late.

- You will enter alone through the front door, I will enter through your bedroom window to cover you. I say and she nods.

And now.

We'll see what Isabelle is capable of.

I open the door and hear a noise upstairs, I run up the stairs and find Valentina standing at my bedroom door, we walk together to Nick's bedroom door and we hear a scream, Valentina kicks the door open and then I enter seeing Anne with a stake in her hand while my brother's shoulder had a hole and his body was covered in blood, he seemed to be unconscious.

Really he is.

Traitor.

- Look who arrived on time for the main show. - says Anne moving away from him.

- You cow, I'll finish you. - I say and she laughs.

- She started training just a week ago and she already thinks she's the best warrior in the world, that's so natural from your stupid clan, but I know the truth, you are weak Izzy, that's why Valentina acts as your guard dog, because she know you won't get very far. - he says and I hear Valentina's footsteps behind me.

- Speak for yourself, not for me. - Says the blonde and the redhead laughs.

- The pathetic guard dog. - she says and Valentina shrugs her shoulders. - So ridiculous all this little passion of yours, too bad it won't last long, you two don't even know what awaits you. - He says and I pick up the basketball-shaped pitcher and throw it at it, which it deflects.

- You talk too much. - I say going over to her.

Dodging his stake attack noticing I'm not fast enough to dodge a long streak, I think maybe I'm not ready for a fight, but if I don't try I won't know if it's true or not. Decided I try to attack her using a sequence of punches that Valentina taught me in a single class I had with her, two punches, two kicks and surprise sweep, but Anne dodges the punches and kicks, but the sweep catches her off guard, I look quickly back seeing Valentina smile sideways and I feel more motivated.

- It was pure luck. - says Anne getting up quickly.

- Or maybe I have a great mentor. - I say and she attacks me.

I manage to dodge his first attack, but the point of the stake grazes my arm, making me hold my breath to keep from screaming in pain.

What sharp shit.

What is this made of?

what a bag

No time for pauses, dodging another attack from the redhead who, in an act of surprise, jumps over me and hits the stake in my shoulder and then pulls it out and at that moment I'm sure I'm not ready for a battle yet, I fall. on my knees feeling my arm and shoulder burn.

- Poison. - I hear Valentina say and Anne laugh. - That's why you let her attack you, I just wanted to distract her to hit her even if it was a graze for the poison to do all the work. - complete.

- Of course, my family specializes in poisons, but this poison is more powerful than what was in that arrow that unfortunately I missed and hit only her hand. She says and I get confused.

- Arrow? - I ask getting up and Valentina looks at me worriedly.

- Didn't she tell you? - Asks Anne and I look at Valentina. -I bet she didn't tell you what she's been doing in secret either. - complete with a laugh.

- What have you been doing in secret? - I ask Valentina who says nothing.

In a matter of seconds Valentina appears between Anne and me, in a quick movement she throws the redhead against the bedroom wall and then pushes me back making me fall to the floor confused when I hear a noise of glass breaking and the blonde hold an arrow between two fingers.

What is that ?

Who shot that arrow?
