Chapter 1 – Poison in her mouth

Bloom was walking towards Lake Roccalus. She was supposed to meet Sky there, even if she was tired because of her sleepless night. Two weeks passed since they defeated Tritannus, and she wanted to find again a normal life in Magix, with her fiancé, her friends, the Winx, and her big sister, Daphne.

She was so glad that everything she loved was still there for her. They gained Bloomix powers after a hard quest, where they all had to show their courage and determination. She nearly loosed her life to gain this new power. She could still remember how much she suffered. She could still feel the pain in her chest, as if her dragon flame was drained from her body. It was a scary sensation. But thankfully, Sky was here, with his cousin Thoren. She could say that they saved her life, even if Diaspro was setting them a trap. But she was happy: at the end, Thoren decided to confess his feelings towards her sister. They made a wonderful couple.

Lost in her thoughts, she immediately came back on earth when she saw her fiancé standing against a tree, with his arms crossed. It was like he was thinking, and his blond hair was twirling at the same rhythm as the spring wind. She found the atmosphere so romantic, like if she was in the movie Titanic, this movie she saw a lot of time when she didn't know she was a fairy.

"Sky!" She called him as she ran towards him (she didn't know where she found the strength to do it).

He smiled lightly when he saw his fiancée running towards him, as he opened his arms, welcoming her with a hug. Even if they were parted for only one day, he felt as if he hadn't seen for a year.

When she looked at him in the eyes, her smile disappeared automatically.

"Are you okay?" She asked, cupping his face between her hands. It was true that he didn't seem to be well: he had dark rings under the eyes, his face was pale, his body was shaking like a dead leaf, his eyes were almost closed, and he seemed to fight against himself to stay awake. It was unusual for him to be that bad!

"Don't worry." He smiled. "I didn't sleep well last night."

"On Earth, it's the lie the most used when we're sick." Bloom gave him a concerned look, her fists on her waist. "Why are you lying to me while I'm worried to know how you feel?"

"I am not lying!" Sky raised an eyebrow, holding her shoulders. "I'm just-"

Then, everything became black. And he didn't hear anything anymore. An incredible pain suddenly appeared in his stomach, and started to get worse until a violent headache hit him. He couldn't help screaming at the top of his lungs. He collapsed on the ground as everything which was around him started to become more and more blurred. Before he was lost in unconsciousness, he heard his fiancée scream and felt her shake his body.

"Sky? SKY? Answer me! Sky! Sky! What's the… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"


"Musa, can you make another melody with your guitar?" Tecna asked, looking up at her friend who was laying on her bed. It was dark now, and Tecna was bored in front of her lap top computer. Since they gained their Bloomix after their argument, Tecna didn't mind listening to Musa' songs. It was quite the contrary: hearing the sound of her guitar helped her to relax, especially when Musa was singing at the same time. She always found the voice of her best friend wonderful, and couldn't help wanting to hear it more.

"Sure." Musa replied, sitting up. "What do you want me to play?"

"What you want. You have a better artistic sense than me."

While Musa took her guitar and started to play some notes, somebody knocked at the door. Flora then entered the room. Tecna greeted her with a smile and asked her what was wrong.

"Do you know where Bloom is?"

Flora looked worried. She was in her nightgown, her braid on her shoulder and her cell phone in her hand.

"She wasn't supposed to be with Sky tonight?" Musa asked, looking up at her friend.

"Yes, but it is 9 pm! Layla and Stella either don't know where she is, and she don't answer my calls!"

"Calm down, Flora." Tecna put a hand on her friend's shoulder. "Bloom is powerful: if she was attacked, she would be able to handle the problem."

"And she's with Sky." Musa added with a smile on her face, giving her a wink. "That's maybe why she's late. They are engaged, it's normal that they want to see each other more than before."

"Maybe you're right." Flora sighed. "But I can't help being worried."

"Hey, relax Flo'." Flora looked behind her and saw her best friend Layla, standing next to Stella. She had a reassuring smile on her lips. "We don't have to worry, Musa is right: she only wants to be with Sky."

"But I know the perfect conversation that will help you to relax." Stella said, approaching her with an evil smirk on her face. Flora didn't like it. If Stella had that smirk on her face, it wasn't good. She hoped that she would not start to talk about fashion! And, by the look on Tecna and Musa's faces, she knew she wasn't the only one thinking that.

"Stella, if you want to talk about mode-" Tecna started, but was cut by Stella, who wrapped an arm around Flora's shoulders.

"I wasn't talking about that!" Stella seemed offended, so offended that she didn't hear Layla whispering a "for once…"

Stella looked into her brunette friend's eyes, then into Tecna's.

"You know, even our sweet and shy fairy has a boyfriend… Why don't you tell us what happened after you two went out of the ballroom after dancing? You don't want to tell us how the Krystal Problem ended up?"

Flora blushed. She would have preferred to hear Stella talking about fashion three hours than that. Even if Helia just kissed her and told her again how much he loved her, it was always embarrassing for her to talk about her feelings! And before all with Stella! She didn't want to talk about it!

"Y-you know Stella, you aren't helping me to feel better with that…"

"Why? Are you still on the rocks? Are you still mad at him?"

"Stella!" All the other said in a perfect synchronisation, while Layla added "That's none of your business, leave her alone!"

"Hey, aren't we best friends forever?" Stella asked innocently, "There can't be any secret between us, before all, there can't be any secret when we speak about love. So, Flora, what about you and Helia?"

Before Flora could tell her that she didn't want to talk about it, she heard her cell phone ring on her hand. Looking at the screen, she saw the name of her boyfriend written on it, making her heart skip a beat.

"Speaking of the devil…" Stella said loudly, making Flora blush even more. She was more than happy that she would hear Helia's voice, but with Stella next to her, it would be… Different. Maybe less romantic.

"It's 9 pm, Stella." Layla said while she came next to her best friend. "I don't think he wants to speak about little birds and flowers."

"Who knows?" Stella replied, shrugging.

Ignoring their little conversation, Flora picked up her phone, while Stella looked at her, her smirk coming back.

"Hey Helia, what's wrong? That's unusual for you to call me so lately … No, Bloom isn't back yet. … What? Sky either? … That's weird … Yes; we'll meet you guys in the front yard." Flora hung up.

"So?" Musa asked.

"So, all the boys had to come back to Red Fountain at 8 pm, and Sky is always very punctual. The boys are worried and want us to help them to find him."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Musa stood up, her fist closed in front of her. "If Sky is in trouble, then maybe Bloom is in too." They all nodded.

Stella then snapped her fingers, and they were all in their casual clothes. They ran outside and saw the boys who were already there. Each Winx climbed on her boyfriend's levabike (Layla had no other choice than to go with Roy).

Layla and Roy knew each other for a short time. When they first met, Layla found Roy annoying and thought he was pretentious, due to his way to look at her. But after several months, Layla understood that he was kind and sensitive. She knew him better, and it was easier to talk to him, and to stay with him. But she had already felt this feeling before. With someone else.

Nabu.

Even if she felt attracted by Roy, she couldn't forget the man she loved so much. Certainly, Roy was kind and protective, Nabu was always on her mind (but thankfully, she managed to hide it from her friends).

"Layla?"

Hearing Roy's voice, Layla jumped a little and understood that they just arrived. Each couple had to search Bloom and Sky in a given area. Layla and Roy had to search them in the forest near the beach.

"Sorry, I think I'm a bit tired, time is getting on after all."

Roy smiled gently at her. Layla couldn't help feeling uneasy. As the time passed, she was sure that Roy's love for her was only growing up. At first, she thought it was just a crush. But now, she knew it was more than that. Of course she liked him, but she wasn't sure if her feelings for him were as strong as his feelings for her. She knew that she only saw him as a friend, and not as more than it. She felt so guilty to don't be able to tell him it face to face. Biting her lower lip, she passed in front of him, starting the researches for her friends.

"I hope they are okay." Roy said, pushing a branch away from him. "Sky is always so punctual."

"As much as Bloom is." Layla sighed.

While they were calling for them, Roy remembered something.

"When he left us to see Bloom, he didn't seem to be well."

"What do you mean?" Layla asked, looking up at him as they stopped walking. He took his chin in his hand and looked at the sky.

"Well, he didn't sleep for three days now. He's a heavy sleeper, that's unusual from him. He didn't eat at breakfast, either at lunch, he said he wasn't hungry. We proposed to go at training, but he stayed in his bed, but with his sleepless nights, it's logical. And when Bloom called him for a date, he stood up, but wasn't able to walk correctly (he had to make 10 pauses to go his dormitory's door)."

Layla's eyes widened.

"Bloom has been in the same state for nearly a week now. That's weird."

Roy was about to reply, but Layla's watch rang. This watch was Tecna's invention: it was more practical than a cell phone during a mission.

Layla opened it, and the face of her best friend Flora took shape in front of her eyes.

"Flora? What's wrong?"

"Layla! We found Bloom and Sky!"

"Really? They were still at Lake Roccalus?"

"Yeah, but they are not well. Call the other and tell them we are sending them to the hospital of Magix."

"But wait! Why aren't you sending them to Alfea's infirmary? What's wrong?"

"They are unconscious on the ground, they are shaking like dead leaves, and poison is going out from their mouths!"

Before Layla could reply, Flora hung up the conversation. She had a hand behind Bloom's head, as Helia was checking Sky's breathing. Bloom couldn't hold some groans of pain.

When she and Helia arrived in front of Lake Roccalus, they found them lying on the ground, with closed eyes, and wide open mouths. Flora rushed down to help her friend Bloom, but, while she was holding the red-haired girl's head, she saw a purple liquid going out of her mouth. By the smell of it, she automatically understood it was poison. According to Helia, Sky was in the same state. Their faces became more and more pales, and their breathing were slowing down. But thankfully, three doctors appeared, taking them rapidly in a sort of hospital truck. Flora was about to go with them, but Helia quickly stopped her, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and holding her against his chest. He murmured on her ear "Don't worry. These doctors will save them. We just have to have faith. Bloom and Sky are strong: they will not die so easily. Now, we have to join the others."

Flora held his gloved hand tightly. He was right. They couldn't do anything for the moment, even if they were worried.


AN : I decided to publish another fanfiction. This time, I wrote it in english, and I hope it's readable. I was inspired by a game, I'll give you the link in chapter 3. And I want to point out something about this chapter... I am NOT a Roy x Layla fan. I like Roy, he is kind and all, but I like him alone. I mean, Layla was a woman who didn't want a boyfriend in season 3. And in season 6, she likes 2 boys. I want her to be with Nabu, or alone. Sorry... xD

Hope you liked this chapter! (and sorry Bloom and Sky's fans!)
