Hello! This is my first Winx Club fanfiction, so please enjoy. Just a word of knowledge though…I do not have a beta so please don't mind grammar mistakes.

The lone figure stood on top of the hill, bathed in the moonlight as she narrowed her eyes at her opponent. "You will not win."

The figure before her laughed, harshly. "I already have little fairy. Once you are gone then no one will be able to stop me."

The fairy closed her eyes. There was one spell she could use but it would take the ultimate sacrifice. Even though she wasn't ready if it meant that her loved ones would be safe then that was all that mattered. She started to glow a soft, warm golden red and her opponent started to back away. "No…you wouldn't?"

When the fairy opened her eyes, they were glowing with power. "Your time is over." A bright red beam shot out of the fairy's hands and engulfed the figure. "NO! Curse you fairy! I will return," the dark figure began to fade away. The eyes narrowed and a hand reached out and grabbed the fairy's ankle, "if I am to be sealed in the darkness…then I will not go alone." Spent, the fairy fell to the ground. She had no more strength to fight it off. Her eye's closed and her thoughts drifted back to her family. Her parents, her sister, her friends…her husband and her child. She could only hope that one day they would meet again.

There was a flash of light and where the fairy had been, there was nothing. Both the fairy and her opponent were gone.

18 years later:

Kenneth groaned and stuffed his head further into his pillow. "Go away Bloom."

The little girl ignored him and bounced on his bed. "No…wake up Kenneth! It's time to wake up!" She started to bounce and Kenneth inwardly sighed rolling over and grinning at the five year old. She had her mother's blond hair and her father's brown eyes and was the youngest daughter of his aunt and uncle. He never really understood it but from the moment she had been born she had always wanted to hang around with him.

"Fine, now get off me so I can get ready."

She grinned and kissed his cheek then bounced out the room to find the other members of her family. Kenneth got out of bed and after his shower got dressed in his jeans, a black shirt and his trainers. He ran a hand through his long blond hair and headed out of his room to the room where everyone would be eating.

Over the summer, after a few weeks with his father on his home planet of Eraklyon, he had come to spend the rest of the summer on Domino with his family. There was his aunt Daphne and uncle Thoren along with their children Aiden, who was one of Kenneth's best friends, Mora and finally Bloom. Aiden had his mother's blond hair and her eyes while Mora took after her father. Bloom was the only one a healthy mix between the two.

He kissed his aunt on the cheek, "good morning Aunt Daphne."

She smiled, "Kenneth. Are you ready for your final year at Red Fountain? I know that Aiden can hardly contain his excitement."

The boy in question blushed at his mother's comment, "mother!"

Kenneth grinned and sat down. "I can't wait. I'm ready to head back and meet the girls. Aiden especially has been telling me that there's this one fairy…I think her name is Lilac." He smirked over at Aiden who blushed.

Daphne raised her eyebrow while Thoren coughed into his hand. Aiden glared at Kennth, who shrugged his shoulders. Mora grinned like Christmas had come early, "you have a crush on Lilac."

Aiden narrowed his eyes at his sister, "tell Lilac and I'll tell Jayden what you think of him."

Mora instantly shut up. Kenneth coughed into his own hand. Jayden was another one of their friends and as the crown prince of Solaria was considered one of the most wanted men in the magical realm. He was also very handsome with dark brown blond hair and golden eyes. Mora had liked him ever since they were children. Mora was shy though so she had trouble telling Jayden how she felt, but Kenneth knew that Jayden already knew how she felt. She made it so obvious.

Daphne smiled at her children, "well this has been enlightening but I think that it's time to head to Magix."

At this Bloom started to tear up. Since she was only five she had to stay on Domino and she didn't like it when the older kids left. Kenneth smiled at the girl, "hey now…don't cry. Dad said he would come by and visit you."

She perked up. "Really? Uncle Sky is coming?"

Kenneth nodded. He gave the girl a stern look, "but only if you're a good girl. Can you do that?"

She bit her lip but nodded. "Yes. Bloom's a good girl. Right Daddy?" She smiled up at Thoren, who kissed her on the forehead. "That's right Bloom."

A few hours later, Kenneth stood near the door of the ship as he waited for Aiden and Mora. He felt a hand on his shoulder and smiled up at his father. "Hey dad."

Sky gave his son a soft smile. "Hey yourself. You ready?"

Kenneth nodded, "yep. I can't wait," he grew quiet and they both knew who Kenneth was thinking about. Sky sighed, "your mother would have been so proud of you."

Kenneth tried to keep the tears at bay, he didn't want to seem weak but now more then ever it was apparent that his mom was gone and never coming back. His father gathered Kenneth in his arms and Kenneth buried his face in Sky's chest. After a few minutes Kenneth pulled away and wiped his face. His father lifted his chin so that their eyes met and Sky gave Kenneth a smile, "Your mother was the strongest fairy I ever knew and that power flows in you. Believe in yourself and never forget that those we truly love never leave us." His father tapped Kenneth's heart, "your mom lives on through you."

Kenneth smiled at his dad, "thanks dad."

Sky leaned forward and kissed Kenneth on the forehead, "have a good year and try to go easy on Helia."

At that comment Aiden snorted, "relax Uncle Sky…I'll take good care of Kenneth."

Sky rolled his eyes, "that's what I'm afraid of."

Aiden turned to Kenneth, "it's time to head out. Let's go."

Kenneth gave his dad one last hug then bounded up the ramp after Aiden and soon was on his way to Magix.

A few minutes into the trip Kenneth fell asleep. He found himself in a dark room and in the middle of the room there was a woman chained to the wall. Her long red hair was matted with dried blood and hung limply across her face. Her clothes were in tatters and she seemed to barely be breathing.

Kenneth took a hesitant step forward, "um…hello?"

The woman was silent. Kenneth was almost sure that she was dead until she slowly lifted her head up and her blue eyes met his own. Kenneth sucked in a breath. He had never really seen her face but he would know his mother anywhere, but this should have been impossible. She was dead.

Suddenly she grimaced in pain as bolts of electricity ran down her chained arms. Kenneth took a step forward his arms outstretched. He was about to ask his mom if she was okay but a voice spoke from behind him.

"Give up little fairy! It's useless to get out of here. You made sure of that yourself."

The woman glared up at Kenneth and with a start he realized that he was invisible. Spinning around he could barely make out a black, smokey haze with two glowing eyes. "I will never stop!"

Kenneth froze as the black smoke moved until it was directly in front of his mother. It reached out and grabbed her chin forcing her to meet the black eyes. "Then you will never be free. You are on my turf now…the harder you try to break free the more it drains your power. You will die."

The black smoke laughed, "I've just had a great idea. Your…son," his mother froze. She glared at the smoke, "leave him alone!"

"No…I think it is time to reunite you two."

His mother started glowing a dark red and Kenneth could see the black haze take a step back. Before anything could happen, he was suddenly jerked awake. He blinked and glanced up at both Aiden and Mora. They both had weird expressions on their faces. "What's wrong?"

Aiden shared a glance with Mora. He then turned to look at his cousin, "you were thrashing around. Were you having a nightmare?"

Kenneth bit his lip. He didn't want to worry anyone and he most certainly didn't want anyone to know what his dream had been about. It would bring much heartache, so he shook his head, "nothing to worry about. Are we almost there?"

Aiden rolled his eyes at the brush off but didn't push the issue. He nodded, "yeah. We should be landing in about 15 minutes."

Kenneth nodded and leaned back, signaling that the conversation was over. Aiden and Mora shared another look but didn't press the issue. After about 15 minutes the ship landed near Alfea College and the three exited to get out and stretch.

Mora squealed and ran off as three young women ran out to meet her. The first one to reach Mora was Lilac. She had her father's dark black/blue hair that hung down her back and her mother's green eyes and she had a light olive complexion. The second girl to reach them had long brown hair and brown eyes with a light complexion. Her name was Aurora and she was Jayden's twin sister. The final girl had long wavy brown hair with hazel eyes and a light-dark complexion and she was named River.

"MORA! You're here!" Lilac threw her arms around Mora who laughed and followed suit. "Hey Lilac."

Lilac pulled away and smiled over at Aiden, "hey Aiden. Dad can't wait to see you. Something about helping him with the baby dragons as punishment."

Aiden blushed in embarrassment and crossed his arms. "That was not my fault."

Lilac snorted, "yeah right." She rolled her eyes and came over to stand next to Aiden, "ahh…I was just joking. Dad just wants to meet you in your official capacity as my boyfriend" She poked him in the side until Aiden smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

Kenneth was shocked and wasn't the only one. River was hanging with her mouth open while Aurora and Mora were blinking in confusion. Kenneth coughed, "when did that happen?"

Both Aiden and Lilac turned red as they realized they weren't alone. Lilac looked down while Aiden stretched his head sheepishly, "umm…it happened at the end of last year."

Aurora hit Kenneth on the arm, "leave them alone Ken. I think it's cute."

Kenneth grinned at his girlfriend, "I didn't mean anything about it Rory. I was just surprised."

A bell chimed in the distance which meant it was time to say good-bye to the girls. Kenneth kissed Aurora on the cheek, "anything you want me to say to Jayden?"

Aurora scrunched her nose and shook her head. "No. I'll just message him later." She looked at Kenneth who suddenly felt like he was being judged. Aurora cocked her head, "what's wrong?"

Kenneth bit his lip. Figures she would know something was wrong. He shook his head, "I'll tell you later. I have to go." He kissed her one last time and followed Aiden back to the ship. When they landed at Red Fountain the rest of their squadron was waiting. There was Apollo, who had semi-long brown hair and dark eyes, Jayden who had dark brown blond hair with golden eyes, Trace had dark brown hair with magenta highlights and teal eyes.

"Finally. You're here." Jayden pushed off the wall and came forward with his hands up, "Uncle Helia is going spare. You should hear him."

Apollo frowned, "dad's just under a lot of stress. You know there's been high readings of dark magic."

Trace nodded in agreement, "Apollo is right Jay. It's even got my mum worried."

Kenneth raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"

Apollo shrugged his shoulders, "Uncle Sky hasn't said anything?"

Kenneth shook his head. Aiden shared a glance with the guys before he pushed Kenneth towards Red Fountain, "don't worry about it then Ken. I'm sure it's nothing."

Kenneth frowned. They were hiding something from him if their actions had anything to say about it. He could see Aiden slap Jayden on the arm with a look that Kenneth knew meant idiot. Something was going on and it apparently had the whole dimension worried.

"This isn't the way to Uncle Helia's office," Kenneth said as they entered.

Jayden chewed his lip, "that's because…" he looked at the others for some help. Trace spoke up, "that's because Aunt Flora wanted to see you, so we're taking you to her."

Kenneth arched his eyebrow, "Aunt Flora?"

Trace nodded, "yep. The other's can go see Uncle Helia while you go to Aunt Flora."

Now Kenneth was sure that something was up. He was about to protest but decided against it, besides he liked Aunt Flora. She always seemed to know what to say. He closed his eyes, "fine. I'll go to Aunt Flora's."

Trace grinned and pulled out some dohicky machine. He fiddled with the machine and a portal opened. Trace grinned at Kenneth, "this should take you to Aunt Flora's. Just message me when your ready to return."

Kenneth glared at his friends. It seemed like they wanted to get rid of him. He wondered if this had to do with that dream he had this morning. He shook his head and stepped through the portal. It brought him to Linphea and right on the door steps of his Aunt Flora's.

He was about to knock on the door when he heard Aunt Flora's voice. "I don't know Stella. I think we should tell him. It is about him."

Kenneth's breath hitched.

"I know Flora, but we still don't know what we're up against. I don't want to risk losing him like we lost Bloom."

Kenneth froze. Bloom was his mother's name. He was now more sure then ever that something was happening and it involved him.

"I think Flora is right, Stella. We can't protect him forever. He should know what he's up against." That was the voice of his Aunt Tecna.

"What does Sky think about this?"

There was a pause. "You know how protective he is about Kenneth. He's all Sky has left of Bloom. He's totally against it." That was his Aunt Layla.

Kenneth couldn't breathe. There was a sudden hush from the inside and Kenneth quickly tried to cover that he had been listening by dashing for cover in some bushes. When his Aunt Flora had stepped back inside, Kenneth took a deep breath and knocked for real this time.

A few seconds later and Flora opened the door with a smile. "Kenneth. You're here. Come on inside."

Kenneth swallowed, "umm…you wanted to see me Aunt Flora?"

She wrapped her arm around his shoulders and guided him inside where he could see that it hadn't been just a phone call but that all of his aunts were there in person. Aunt Stella with her long blond hair and golden eyes, Aunt Tecna with her short magenta hair and teal eyes, Aunt Layla with her dark wavy hair and dark eyes, Aunt Roxy with her long magenta hair and violet eyes and finally his Aunt Musa with her dark blue hair and dark eyes.

He didn't really know what to say so he just stood there awkwardly. Aunt Stella sighed and stood up, gathering Kenneth in a hug, "oh..what are we to do with you?"

Kenneth smiled. Aunt Stella was one of his favorites. She was always good for a laugh. Kenneth wrapped his arms around her, "hey Aunt Stella."

Stella squealed and clapped her hands together, "ohh…I smell Aurora's perfume. You are so cute together."

Kenneth blushed.

"Move aside Stella."

Stella was pushed aside and Kenneth was grabbed by the rest of his Aunt's one by one. When that was done he crossed his arms and looked at each one, "not that I don't love each and every one of you but why was I called all the way to Aunt Flora's?"

Each of the women looked at each other before Flora sighed, "well you see Kenneth…"

"Stop right there Flora."

Kenneth's head whipped around in surprise to see his father standing against the doorway. Flora frowned, "Sky…this isn't the time."

Sky shook his head and grabbed Kenneth's arm, "and like I told you before…I can handle this. Let's go Kenneth."

Kenneth scowled, "what's going on dad?"

Sky paused and glanced back at his son, "nothing for you to worry about. It is a job for the adults." At that moment a portal opened and Sky pushed Kenneth towards it, "go back to Red Fountain and I'll see you later."

Kenneth opened his mouth to argue but the portal closed before he could find out any answers. He landed back in his room and glancing around, he could see that no one was back yet, so he just decided to go to sleep early.

Sky crossed his arms as he glared at his friends. "Flora. I told you. I don't want Kenneth to know."

Flora frowned, "but Sky…he has a right to know. Wouldn't you rather him be prepared in case something happens then not prepared at all?"

Sky paused. There was some truth to that statement, but Sky still wasn't sure. "No. I don't want Kenneth to know and if I hear that someone told him…" he paused and glared at the group of girls, "I will make sure that they know the power of my anger." He swept from the room and slammed the door shut.

Flora sighed and rubbed her forehead. Sky was being so stubborn. Layla sighed, "well…that didn't go well."

Tecna snorted, "there has to be a way to convince Sky to tell Kenneth."

Stella snapped her fingers, "that's it!" She stood up and held out her arms, "I'll get Brandon to talk to Sky. Brandon should be able to convince him."

Musa nodded in agreement, "true. They are best friends." She smirked over at Stella, "you finally had a great idea for once."

Stella scowled while the other's laughed. Stella let out a humph and crossed her arms. She stood up, "fine then. I'm going back to Solaria." She was gone in a flash of light. The other's said goodbye and Flora was left alone.

She glanced out the window and could feel that something dark and evil was stirring.

Stay tuned!

Please ready and review.
