Author's Note: In this I used most of the Italian versions of the names. (I did not do that for the schools though).
"Have you seen my permanent record? This will fit right in." Stella said as the twisted light she conjured temporarily blinded anyone in a four foot radius, before she released the dark energy.
"The point of the exercise is to be able to channel your dark energies." Ms. Griffin chided the temporary student.
Now regretting her decision to let seven girls from Alfea take courses at Cloud Tower in order to protect the Codex from the Trix, Ms. Griffin walked on to the next students in the vast lecture hall.
Stella paid little attention to what was going on with the Cloud Tower teacher and went back into the dark place she had created. It was comforting, despite the lack of sun light. She was surprised by the negativity that was in her being, Stella always though of herself as being upbeat.
Holding her hands about five inches a part Stella focused the darkness into a force of violent energy. Her face worked its way into a grimace as she pushed the negativity into a thought; make those who hurt me hurt. She saw her pain as a fierce and angry lioness. In her mind she fused the lioness with the dark energy in her hands.
"I will make you my prey." She muttered angrily.
"Stella!" a voice far away shrieked.
The lioness and darkness seem to fade away into a mere memory as Stella looked around.
"What was that?" Bloom asked softly, loosing her voice to fear.
"What was what?" Stella question, unsure of what happened, had she put too much energy in, or did she almost blind someone again?
"The lion- thing it started to come out of the energy ball." Bloom answered, regaining her composure.
"I got distracted. Sorry." Stella replied in her usual cheerfulness.
The dorms at Cloud Tower were similar to the ones at Alfea. Unfortunately, the Winx girls were given whatever spare dorm space the school had handy. Stella put her large suitcase onto the floor near one of the dressers in the room. She was not sure of how things exactly came into play here, or which dresser the current resident witch used.
A few minutes a tanned girl gracefully walked in. "Oh, so you're here?" she stated rather than asked in a distant voice.
Stella looked up, and turned to face the newcomer. The newcomer had black wavy hair that stopped at her shoulders. She had a distant look in her eye, but she looked pleased. Stella was unsure if it was for what was going on around her, or if it was something only existing in the girl's mind.
"You're Stella, aren't you?" The girl continued in the same distant voice.
"Yes." Stella responded with a slight smile.
"I'm Isra." The newcomer, apparently called Isra, continued, "Ms. Griffn told me you were to be staying here to help defend the Codex from the Trix. You'll be sharing my dorm with me."
Stella nodded, "Where should I put my stuff?"
"Anywhere I guess, I'm using the dresser closest to the window, the bed near there is the bed I sleep in as well. You can use the other stuff." Isra responded.
Stella pushed the suitcase over to her side of the room. She did not feel like taking the stuff out of it, and besides she only planned to stay for a couple of days, a week at most. If she was to stay longer, she would need to go to Alfea to get more clothing. She shrugged it off and began to take stuff out of the suitcase.
"Wait. You're the princess of Solaria, aren't you, Princess Stella?" Isra asked, sounding less distant than she had a few minutes earlier.
Stella smiled like the sun as she turned away form the suitcase, "Yes, I am. Its very nice there, the sun always smiles down on us there."
"I know" Isra replied with a smile, "I live there. I went to the palace once when I was little. It was very pretty."
"It is" Stella said with a smile and the two girls began talking about Solaria.
Bloom sat outside the dorm room doorway, wanting to get away from Bridget. They had only know each other for under five minutes, but Bloom would have rather battled the Trix than talk with Ash. Stella had also said she'd come by after she unpack her stuff.
Bloom looked up as she heard a familiar voice. It was Misty, she was laughing with a green haired girl she had seen hanging out with the Trix a few times last year. Bloom stood up when the two came by, not sure how to feel to the green hair girl's presence. Bloom hoped the girl would have only been attacking with the Trix, because she did not know the Trix's plan.
"Misty." Bloom called out excitedly.
Misty and the green-haired girl looked over. The two walked over quickly, "Bloom, this is Lucy, Lucy this is Bloom."
"Hi" Lucy said.
"Hey" Bloom replied.
"Who are you sharing a room with?" Misty asked.
"Ash." Bloom replied with a hint of distaste.
The other two girls smirked at Bloom's response. "I didn't mean-"
"Of course not, Bloom. Well, she's a jerk. Nothing compared to the Trix when they were here, but she is a queen bee." Lucy explained.
Bloom nodded, "I see. That makes sense. I was waiting for the rest of the girls out here, since I don't know where they are staying. Stella came by earlier."
"We could just wander till we find them." Misty suggested.
"That sounds good" responded Bloom.
"I'll lead on, seeing as that I'm the 'local' here." Lucy said with a smile as she walked slightly ahead of the other two fairies.
