Hi guys! This story is an AU set in the beginning of Season 3 just before Bloom meets Valtor. (As for alternate names, I will be using Valtor, Layla, and Andros for this story.) Enjoy!

Bloom's POV
"Bloom watch out!" Stella yelled, but it was already too late.
I felt something heavy hit my back, crushing my wings. I shut my eyes tight as I plummeted into the cold, dead water.
Help me.
The faraway voices of my friends dulled as I hit the bottom.
I stopped struggling as the darkness overcame me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ line break ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I slowly opened my eyes.
My head hurts so much.
I tried to move, but every muscle in my body screamed in protest.
"Glad to see you finally waking up, princess. I thought you were out forever." A melodic voice said from above.
Wait, that voice sounds familiar.
My vision refocused and I started to notice my surroundings. I was on a stone pillar in the middle of the murky sea of Andros. There was only one thing circling my head.
"How did I get here?" I thought out loud.
"Well, princess, I saw Icy knock you into the water. When I realized that your friends were too busy fighting the witches to save you, I went in after you." He replied.
A faint blush tinted my cheeks. "Thank you for saving me, uhh…"
"Valtor, my name is Valtor. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, princess." He kneeled down and kissed the back of my hand. I felt the heat rising in my face as I took my hand back.
He chuckled and. I shifted my eyes up to look at him. He… er, Valtor, wore a burgundy coat with a dark purple vest, white shirt, and those old fashioned ruffles. He had a built body that was accentuated by his strange choice of clothing. He had long strawberry blond hair, a pale, angular face, purple eyeshadow that suited him perfectly, and beautiful golden eyes.
He was the guy I bumped into on Solaria.
"Your eyes," I blurted without thinking. His face became serious. "They're really pretty." I blushed.
"Thank you." He replied with a smirk. He reached up and touched my face. I flinched at the sudden contact and he pulled away. He got up and helped me to my feet. As soon as I stood up, my knees wobbled and I almost fell onto the stone ground. He caught me by holding on to my arm and had his arm around my waist to steady me. "You didn't need to do that...again." I said the last part in almost a whisper.
"You're right, I didn't have to, seeing that you are as graceful as you were on Solaria." I blushed at the memory. He smirked at my reaction.
"Here," he said as he muttered a spell under his breath and waved his hand around me. The pain in my body faded instantly and I let out a sigh of relief.
"I'll take that as a 'Thank you'". He smirked again as my cheeks turned to the color of my hair.
"I never caught your name, princess."
Should I tell him my name? He doesn't seem like a stalker, but you never know, seeing as he is on a stone pillar in the middle of Andros while it is under attack.
"Oh, um, my name is…" I was debating whether I should tell him my name or not, but thankfully I didn't get a chance to finish the sentence because Musa blasted him and sent him flying.
"Get away from her!" Musa yelled.
"Yeah!" the rest of the girls echoed. They all landed on the pillar and got into fighting stances.
Valtor put a shield around me and him and bubbled us off from the girls who were frantically sending blasts at the shield to try to break it, but it wouldn't budge.
He has strong magic.
We started circling each other.
He chuckled, "Your pathetic club thinks it can defeat me, the greatest wizard in the magic dimension."
He stopped chuckling and stepped closer so that we were a few feet apart. "You know I can sense your powers. They are just like mine…"
"But…" I cut him off.
"… I know you have questions, and I will give you all of the answers you want. How about we meet up for a Q and A session?" I didn't reply. I saw a flicker of something pass through his eyes, but it was gone before I could tell what it was. "Throw a fireball at me."
"Why?"
"Just do it!" I summoned a fireball and threw it at him. He caught it in his hand, and with a flick of his wrist, it turned to dust. I gawked at him and he smirked and winked at me. I internally shuddered.
He is hot and cold that the same time. He seems like the bad boy/ lone wolf type. So dreamy. OMG, I can't be noticing him. I am dating Sky. I love Sky. I love Sky. I love Sky.
The shield that Valtor had created suddenly burst and he said "I do not like easy victories. I will not fight you while you are weak. You are too tired to fight. We will do battle, but when the right time comes."
I see you Valtor. You let go of your shield the moment Tecna fired at it.
Just go with it, darling. His voice echoed in my head. HOW did he do THAT?! I need to learn more about him.
That shook me out of the trance I was in and formed two fireballs and threw them at him. Again, they turned to dust as he waved his hand. I hid my surprise with an angry glare. He magically understood my actions and said, "I said that an easy victory against you will not be satisfying. I will not fight you now." Then he turned to leave. All of a sudden, Layla jumped in front of him, "Fight me then. I am Princess Layla of Andros!" I felt his demeanor change and his aura became dark. He lashed out.
The ghost things that floated around people's heads telling me what they were thinking had haunted me all of last year suddenly appeared above Valtor's head.
"Let's see… what can I do to this insolent daddy's girl that will teach her and her friends a lesson? Oh yes, I should blind her." He smirked.
My eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. He was going to blind her!?
Valtor yelled, "From now on, whenever your friends look into your eyes…" I didn't hear the rest of what he said as I fought against the strong winds produced by the spell. "…the mighty Valtor."
"Nooo," I screamed as I pushed forward with all of my remaining power and shoved Layla out of the way of the blast, but got hit with its full force. I was slammed back and the wind was knocked out of me as my vision went black. I could hear my friends' yells. I tuned them out and started talking to my other half. (No she didn't die when Darkar was destroyed. We came to terms and live in a mostly peaceful way.)
You brought this on yourself. You read his aura and you decided to play hero, knowing full well what would happen, so I am not sympathetic to you.
Aren't we the same person. So if I am blind, aren't you blind as well?
Nope, sweetie. I am your dark half, not your mirror. I can still see.
Can't I use your eyes to see?
Nope
You're not being rational. How will you see the world if I am controlling right now?
That can change, you know?
You wouldn't dare.
Oh yes I would.
Please, with puppy dog eyes.
Fine, but my eyes stay the same.
We have to keep them blue, or people will panic.
Ugh. I hate it when you are right. But I get to pick the shade.
Fine.
I pick the same shade they naturally are.
You make no sense.
You love me anyway.
True. Oh and don't switch eyes right now because Valtor just hit me with the blindness spell. The guy has major power and the last thing we want is to be bombarded with questions like, 'How did you heal yourself that fast?'.
I noticed and I'm not that dumb. You know, he's kinda hot.
I am dating Sky.
The same Sky that has lied to you and cheated on you?
I gave him one last chance. If he blows it, it's over.
Sigh. You never learn. You know the reason you can read auras is because of me?
You were created by Darkar. The auras I read were all in freshman year.
I have always been a part of you. Darker only brought me to the surface. Everyone has a dark side.
Even Flora.
Yep. Even that goody two-shoes, but I doubt that it has an influence on her.
Don't diss Flo.
Whatever. Oh and I am going dormant for a while.
What does that mean? And for how long?
It means that I won't be around. I won't talk and I won't be available. It'll be like I don't even exist. But don't worry, I won't leave until your eyesight problem is sorted out and I will let you have the power to read auras, but you can only use it on people who don't have really strong magic. You can use it on any of the specialists or witches (only if they aren't too powerful).
Wait, can I read fairy's auras?
Yes, you can read any fairy's aura, but only if their intent is negative.
Thanks. You're amazing.
I know.
"Bloom, snap out of it!" Stella screeched while shaking me.
I snapped to attention with a jolt and a scream.
"Girls! Don't leave me! Where are you?"
"Calm down Bloom. We are right here." A calm voice spoke, who I recognized as Flora. I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized my best friends were all there.
"Where am I?"
This time it was Tecna who spoke, "You are in Alphea's infirmary. After you got hit by Valtor's spell, you collapsed. We brought you here and I used my Ladybug scanner to diagnose any internal injuries. It turns out that his spell blinded you. We don't know whether it's temporary or permanent, but we have figured out that Valtor has major power in order to have blinded you like that.
"Let's get Headmistress Faragonda to come here and to let her know you are awake."
"Wait, girls, don't tell her who did this. Who knows what might happen."
"She's right. But how do we explain the blindness?" Stella agreed.
"We could say that a spell backfired. That's technically not a lie." Musa said.
"Okay, we should do that." Flora spoke.
"Let's go get Headmistress, girls." Tecna said.
"Is it okay if I stay her to keep watch?" Layla asked.
"I don't see why not." Stella said. And with that, Stella, Tecna, Flora, and Musa walked out of the room, probably to Headmistress's office. A little while passed in silence and I couldn't sense what Layla was thinking because I couldn't see.
Thanks a lot, Valtor.
"Bloom. I never got a chance to say thank you for everything. Ever since I came here, you have always been so kind to me. I feel so bad because my mistake cost you your sight." Layla sobbed.
"Layla, don't you ever think of it as a mistake. You were standing up for your realm." I told her.
"But…"
"No buts, Layla. You did what you thought was right, and I respect you for standing up for your people. Besides, fate has a way of making things become alright in the end. I'm sure you all will figure something out that will fix this fine mess we've gotten ourselves into."
Layla giggled through her tears and hugged me. "Oh and Bloom, I have something to ask you."
"Go for it."
"After you were blinded, the girls took you here, but I stayed to watch over my home. Valtor tried to drown my dad and I saved him. When he was safe, I got a new transformation. My wings got really big and I got this necklace filled with powder. I have no idea what it means or what it is and I was hoping you knew." She elaborated.
"Hmmm… I've never heard about that before. Sorry Layla." I responded.
"Oh, that's okay. I'll just ask Headmistress Faragonda." She said.
I heard the door open and the girls talking to Headmistress.
"Bloom. It's so good to have you awake. How are you feeling?" Headmistress asked me.
"I'm doing fine, except for my sight." I replied.
"Tecna, search for a cure to blindness on the realm wide web." She said.
"Yes ma'am." Tecna said.
There was a pause and Layla spoke, "Mrs. F, can I speak with you outside?"
"Let's go into the hall"
After a while, Mrs. F called to the girls to come out and they walked out.
Why can't she just say it in front of me? She's hiding something.
The door opened again and I felt something grainy fall onto my skin. My vision started to come back but it was like someone smeared everything.
"It's working!" Stella said with happiness. I felt more of it fall onto me and I could see. When I got up from the bed, I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I could finally see!
"Layla, your transformation is so beautiful!" I said.
"Thanks." She replied. The atmosphere of the room became awkward. I saw Mrs. F standing in the corner and I saw her aura floating. It said, "Should I tell her about the Enchantix? It might do more harm than good."
Enchantix, interesting. I'll have to research that as well as Valtor's abilities.
Then the headmistress left and as soon as she was out of earshot, the girls flagged me over so we could discuss our plans to approach Valtor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line Break ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valtor's POV
I paced in circles around my office, well Griffin's old office. I ruled Cloud Tower now and the witches were my new minions. The witches and I moved from Andros because the Omega portal was collapsing and would soon tear apart both Andros and Omega.
Why did she have to leap in the way of my attack?
I was frustrated. She was different and I wanted to learn more about her. Not to mention, she was also kind of cute. A knock at the door startled me out of my thoughts.
"Oh, Valtoooor!" Oh great, Icy's here.
She sauntered through the door and plastered herself onto me. She drew small circles on my hand.
"Why are you so stressed? It's good that the idiot redhead is permanently blind. Now she can't ruin our plans." She purred. "Come clubbing with us to celebrate."
Crap. She put me on the spot so I can't say no.
"Fine Icy. But I won't stay long."
"Whatever, hurry and change so we can go."
I looked in the catalogs for outfits.
I am so not good at this fashion thing.
I saw one that I thought was decent and made it appear on my body using an illusion spell boosted with Dragon Fire energy. It looked like it would make me fit in with the crowd. I went to wait at the entrance of Cloud Tower for the three sisters. The appeared after five minutes. They each wore glittery strapless knee length black dresses that had slits up to their thighs. I caught myself thinking about the redhead and what she would look like in that dress.
No. Bad Valtor. You shouldn't be noticing a girl you only saw twice. She probably has a boyfriend and besides, after what you did to her, she will probably never forgive you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Line Break ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We arrived at club Avalon. When we finally got inside, the music hit me like a blast, but I regained my composure, not willing to let the three witches know that the music had made me almost stumble. When we reached the main floor, all I could see was an ocean of bodies. Darcy and Stormy quickly disappeared into the crowd. I felt Icy's cold stare on me and I turned to face her. She smirked and grabbed my arm.
"What are you doing?" She didn't say anything. Her smirk grew as she led me to the dance floor. I could barely see 2 feet in front of me.
Hey, I can use this to my advantage.
With the Winx girls:
Bloom's POV
"Hey! We should celebrate Bloom getting her eyesight back!" Stella said.
"What do you have in mind?" Musa asked.
"Oh nothing much, just a night on the dancefloor. Let's go to Club Avalon!" She exclaimed.
"Should we invite the specialists?" Asked Tecna.
"I think we need a girls' night. Maybe we can invite them next time." Flora said.
"I don't know guys. I mean, I want to have fun with you, but with my planet in such peril, I don't think I should be having fun." Layla said.
I spoke, reassuring her," Layla you don't have to go if you don't want to, but I think a night of fun would get all of this stress off of your mind."
"Studies show, too much stress is not good for the mind or the body." Tecna said.
"Yeah Layla, come with us." Musa said.
"Okay fine, I'll go with." She said and we all cheered.
"I've got our outfits, girls!" Stella shouted from her room. We all went in. She had glittery strapless mini dresses for all of us. She had a baby pink one for Flora, a red one for Musa, an aquamarine one for Layla, a neon green for Tecna, an orange one for her, and a midnight blue for me. We all put them on. The dresses hugged our curves perfectly. They were fitted at the top and had skater skirts. They were perfect.
"Thank you Stella!" we chorused.
"No need to thank moi. Fashion is my specialty." She said. "Now let's go."
"Wait!" I shouted.
"What's wrong Bloom?" asked Stella, concerned.
"It's just that, everybody knows that I was blinded. Surely they would be suspicious if I was suddenly cured. And I'm not sure that I'm ready to get back into the entire battle thing."
"What are you suggesting?"
"I think that Bloom should go away for a while."
"No!" Stella shouted racing to me and hugging me tight. "There is NO way I'm letting my best friend leave!"
"I'm not really leaving." I said. "That's why I need your help, girls. I've been thinking and with everything going on lately, I don't think it is a good idea for Bloom to be cured. I am going to use a strong disguise spell to hide my identity. I will help you all fight, but I won't be Bloom. You all won't be able to see through it. In fact, I'm pretty sure no one will. I will create an illusion that will make it look like the cure didn't work and that "Bloom" is still blind." The girls stood there, unconvinced. I continued, "Think of it this way, the Trix don't know that I am not blind anymore, so I can sneak around unnoticed and we can stop their plans before they start. This will help us take them down."
Strike one.
Hope they don't notice I didn't mention Valtor.
"How long will this be?" Flora asked.
"At most a month." I replied. "But no one needs to know what we are doing. Will you help me girls?"
Stella was the first to speak, putting her hand on top of mine. "All for one…"
"And one for all!" The girls said as they put their hands in one by one. We all threw our hands up into the air. I was so happy. The girls supported me and I could take a small vacation from the stress.
"Let's see your new look, B." Said Musa.
I said the spell to put the illusion and focused my power.
Now to strengthen this illusion with some good old Dragon Fire energy.
Don't forget the Shadow fire that Darkar gave me. With it, no one can break the illusion.
Thanks.
The glow around me faded and I emerged with fair skin, strawberry blond hair a tinge darker than Valtor's, and olive green eyes.
The dress that I had been wearing still looked amazing on me.
Go Stella!
"What should my name be?" I asked.
"I like Rose." Flora suggested.
"I like it. Girls, my new name is Rose! Should we go now?"
"Let's go!" Said Stella, and with a snap of her fingers, we were at the entrance to Club Avalon. The other girls looked fine, but my stomach lurched and I bent down to catch my breath and keep from throwing up.
I've got to get used to this instant teleportation thing.
When we got inside, all I saw was a sea of bodies. I immediately decided to stay away from the dance floor.
"Let's dance!" Musa yelled, dragging Layla with her towards the jam-packed dancefloor.
"Me and Tecna are going to get drinks. See ya later, Rose." Flora spoke.
Well, I guess I'm alone now. I've really got to use the bathroom.
I wandered around until I saw sign pointing me towards the bathrooms and private rooms. I walked towards the restroom. It was at the end of the hall. I used the bathroom and was headed back to the dance floor. I glanced towards the private rooms as I passed and I froze in my steps. An icy cold feeling crept through my veins. There was Diaspro pressed against the wall, with Sky on top of her. They were making out heavily and the world became blurry with the tears threatening to fall. I bolted to the main room and found the darkest corner. I raced to it. I didn't care who saw or who I pushed. I only needed to get away.
Almost there.
I reached the corner only to bump right smack into something. But right now I didn't care so I didn't bother to look up. I just buried my face into my hands and started bawling.
Valtor's POV:
When Icy and I reached the main dance floor, I could feel the song booming through the entire club and resonating in by body. Icy started dancing, but I stood still and people started filling in the gaps by dancing around me, separating me and Icy. I squeezed through the mass of bodies and got off the floor. I found a dark corner and stood there casually leaning against the wall, silently observing the dancers. I must have zoned out because all of a sudden I was jolted by something hitting me in the chest. I looked down to see a girl with hair a bit darker than mine. I opened my mouth to protest and send the girl on her way, but quickly shut it when she started to sob. I didn't know her, but decided to comfort her so she would stop crying and leave. I debated on what to do or say. I couldn't come up with anything, so I just started to rub circles on her back hoping it would calm her down.
Bloom's POV:
I couldn't focus on anything. All of a sudden, I felt something moving in circles on my back. It was actually really comforting.
Pretty soon, my sobs were reduced to soft hiccups. I looked up to apologize to whoever I had troubled with my crying. He was a relatively good looking guy. He had hair like Riven's but it was brown. His eyes were a beautiful shade of ocean blue. He had an angular face and light tan skin. He had a built body with a plaid shirt tucked into acid washed jeans. When I looked up at him, he pulled me closer to his chest. I relaxed on his chest and started to regain my senses.
Valtor's POV:
She looked up at me and I saw the heartbreak in her olive green eyes. I pulled her closer to my chest. She had light skin and strawberry blonde hair. She was wearing a midnight blue dress that fit her perfectly. I closed my eyes and rested my chin on her head. We stood like that for a few moments before she pulled away.
"I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be back."
"Take your time."
Bloom's POV:
I walked to the bathroom and went into a stall. There, I started to talk to my other half.
Did you sense that? Something about that guy felt weird.
Yeah, genius, it's called a disguise spell.
Wait, I have a disguise spell on too. Does that mean he sensed the disguise on me?
No. I used Shadowfire to disguise you. No one else except for people who have the Shadowfire can see through the spell. You can choose to let certain people see you by altering the spell. While you were busy cuddling up to him, I scanned him. He's using a spell powered by Dragon Fire. And before you interrupt, let me explain this. You know how everyone has a light and a dark side. Well, by the looks of it, he has the opposite of your power. He has the dark Dragon Fire. You could sense the spell because of the link between your powers. You are connected to each other in many ways. I'll tell them to you later.
How do I figure out who he is under the disguise?
When you go up to him, just focus your power and think about seeing his true face, and voila, just like that, his real face will appear in front of your eyes.
Got it.
I walked out of the bathroom and started on my way back to the main room, but all of a sudden, I felt a hand snake its way around my waist. I jumped and turned around. I was greeted by the smirking face of Sky. I felt angry, but I didn't want to let him know that I was Bloom and that I had seen him with El Desperado Diaspro, so I said, "I'm sorry for bumping into you."
He looked surprised for a second before he said, "Yeah, sorry. How about we head up to the rooms so I can show you how sorry I am" and winked. I slapped him, hard, and kicked him in the shin and bolted.
Let me guess, you two are so over.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I was sprinting now. As I was about to enter the main room of the club, I tripped and fell forward. I felt a hand steady me at the waist and another hand held on to my arm. I looked up and blushed.
Isn't this position familiar? You know now would be a good time for the big identity reveal.
Stop reminding me of my clumsiness. It is probably a coincidence that I have been caught in that position when I was about to fall.
Just like my other half said, I looked at his face and focused my powers. Slowly the disguise melted away and a familiar face appeared. My eyes widened and I jerked back from him.
It was Valtor.
I slowly backed away as he tried to figure out what was going on.
I took off for the door and climbed a tree outside. It was the best place I could think of with a spinning head. I was so thankful that I had spent my childhood climbing trees with Andy. I looked from above at the entrance. Valtor came outside, looked around, scratched the back of his neck and walked back inside.
That made him look so hot. No! Argh, why can't I get him out of my head? He's evil. He took over Andros. He blinded me. He stole artifacts from other planets. But why would he bother to help me up? Why would he save me from drowning? It didn't help that he was kind of cute. Okay, hot. Okay fine, drop dead gorgeous. Ugh, why does this have to be do difficult?!
A crash and a scream burst my thought bubble. I looked up to see a huge ice dragon destroying Magix. I growled.
Icy.
I looked up and saw the girls transformed and ready to fight them. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Valtor come out of the club and remove the illusion. He levitated up and joined the Trix to fight the Winx. Icy lagged behind and watched the battle from an alley. I saw my chance and took it. I zapped myself a black hoodie, a pair of pants, and a mask to cover my face. Once they were on, I pulled my hood up and quietly snuck up to Icy. Her focus was fixated on the battle. I grabbed her from behind and slammed her into the wall.
Careful. Don't yell out any of your attacks, or you may blow your cover.
Before she could recover, I hit her with two fireballs, knocking her out. I wasn't going to leave her in the alley, so I picked Icy up and carried her to the sidewalk. I teleported us both to the top of a nearby building and sat down. My powers were exhausted from the teleport and they needed some time to recharge. I could see the battle going on clearly, but I was out of eyeshot of the battling parties. Now that Icy was out, her dragon had also disappeared. Stormy had snuck off, she was nowhere to be found.
Valtor said," Last time we saw each other, there was another one of you pathetic fairies. Where is the redhead?"
"She is lying in bed, as blind as you spelled her to be!" Musa spat. "Sonic Cage!" Her attack was easily deflected and hit Flora instead, making her faint. She plummeted to the ground, but before she hit the ground, Tecna put a shield around her. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"That spell wasn't for her, it was for the princess of Andros!" He said.
Valtor sent out two blasts. One of them missed and the other one hit Tecna, making her scream out in pain and fall. At the last minute, she was able to conjure a bubble to keep her from dying. Her powers were drained and her transformation faded. The remaining girls continued to dodge the attacks that Valtor threw at them. Darcy fired at the blasts, adding to their strength. All of a sudden, Stormy came up behind Layla, shocking her wings with lightning, making her collapse. She then slammed her to the ground, which luckily wasn't too far down.
"Time to finish you pesky fairies off! Dragon Fury!" He shouted. The outburst caught my attention.
I know that power. That attack can kill them! I need to make a shield. Yelling out my attack makes it stronger, and you told me not to. The attack that he is about to fire is too strong. Even with our combined powers, the shield won't be strong enough!
Fine, yell it out if you have to, but don't blame me.
Let's do this.
I closed my eyes and tapped into both my Dragon Fire and Shadowfire and focused on a shield.
Stella created a shield, but his attack went right through it.
I yelled out "Fire Wall!" before Valtor's attack hit them. A wall of dark and light fire flickered to life in front of Stella and Musa, absorbing the enormous attack. I strained to keep the shield up.
Get down!
I immediately ducked to avoid being seen. I let out a breath I didn't know I had been holding when I thought the coast was clear.
"Which one of you made that shield?" Valtor yelled.
I teleported to the forest by Alfea and stumbled to my dorm. I felt a warm tingle around me, alerting me that my illusion spell was wearing off due to my low power levels. I collapsed onto my bed and was out like a light.
Valtor's POV:
Who created that shield? It couldn't have been one of the weak fairies, so who was it?
I skimmed through one of my countless spell books and placed on the growing pile on the floor. I picked up another one and skimmed through.
Aha, found it. Now to go and heal the redhead.
I teleported right by the Alfea barrier.
Wait, what is her name? You either heal the whole school, or no one. Aw what the heck.
"Curare!" I said and the whole of Alfea glowed brightly. I saw several lights turn on and I cast an invisibility spell on myself. Pretty soon, the entire school was outside to investigate what was going on. I scanned the crowd for the redhead, but I didn't see her. I walked away sadly, hoping for the best.
As soon as I stepped foot in my office, Icy was all over me. I pushed her away and sat down at the desk. She followed and stood over me, leaning on my shoulders.
"Can I help you, Icy?"
"I came here to propose a plan to get rid of the Winx brats." I raised an eyebrow, "I'm listening."
"I say we should make them surrender with blackmail. We should kidnap one of them so the others bend to our will."
"But what about the princess of Andros?"
"Darcy can easily take care of her. Oh wait, she already has. Bring the pixie in here, sister!"
She dragged the poor girl roughly and dumped the struggling fairy at my feet. "Untie her and put her in a magic blocker cage. And give her food and water. I will not have my prisoners treated badly."
"Whatever," said Icy and took her away.
I need a drink.
And with that, I snap my fingers and reappear inside the bar in Magix.
Bloom's POV:
"Alright, I'll call the specialists!" Musa said.
She dialed Riven on the phone and after a few minutes, she came back.
"Well, what did he say?" Stella asked.
"He said that they could all come, except Sky. He also said that it was their turn to choose and they are coming in 5 minutes."
"Where are we going?" asked Tecna.
"Riven said that it is a surprise."
"I'm staying here." Flora said.
"Why?" I asked.
"I have lots of homework to catch up on and midterms are coming up, so I need to study." She explained.
"Oh. Okay. Maybe next time." I said with a small frown.
"The specialists are here!" Musa said.
"Yay! Shnookums!" Stella shouted and ran outside. The rest of us walked. Each of the girls ran up to their boyfriends and hugged them.
We all boarded the ship and sat down.
"Alright turnip head, where are you taking us this time?" I asked, teasing him.
"Glad you asked, Carrot Top, we are going… somewhere."
I smacked him on the arm lightly and glowered. He cracked up at my expression. "Don't stress, Ginger, We're just going to the bar in Magix." Before any of us could respond, he started the ship and took off. Soon enough, we arrived at the bar. It was pretty similar to Club Avalon on the interior. I saw a familiar burgundy coat and strawberry blonde hair and quickly put an illusion on myself. I made myself have ice blue eyes and brown hair. I cautiously stepped closer to him. He had 3 empty bottles of beer lying next to him and he was starting his fourth bottle.
This guy is going to get alcohol poisoning. Wait, why do I care?
My phone buzzed in my pocket and I picked it up to look at it.
M: We are going to leave here around midnight. Meet us up front around that time.
My attention drifted to Valtor, but when I looked up he was nowhere to be found. I looked around for him. Finally, I saw his coat tail leaving the club. I followed him out to make sure he was safe. I saw him drunkenly try to cross the road. I raced to him and pulled him back towards the club. He couldn't be left alone. I knew what I had to do. I led him to one of the private rooms upstairs and locked the door behind me. I tried to lay him down on the bed.
God, Valtor, why are you so fat?
Just use your magic, genius.
Oh yeah. I knew that.
I tried to make a levitation spell, but I couldn't since the bar had a spell blocker that restricted spells being cast within the bar. I ended up dragging him to the corner of the room and propping some pillows behind him. To make sure he didn't get out and cause harm to himself, I sat down beside him. As time went by, my eyelids became heavy and I fell asleep.
Valtor's POV:
I woke up to a pounding headache.
Argh. How much did I drink last night?
As I started to regain my senses, I felt a weight on my shoulder. I looked to my right and I saw someone sleeping on my shoulder.
Surely I didn't…
I felt a shift in the magic field around us and I looked over just in time to see what looked like an illusion spell wearing off. In place of the brunette girl, was the redhead from Solaria. Memories of last night came crashing down on me.
She stayed, for me.
I smirked and pulled her closer to my chest, wrapping my arms around her. I closed my eyes, savoring the moment. She woke up a bit later, with a "Where am I?" and a similar reaction to seeing me. We stayed like that for a while before she started to get up. I rose to my feet and helped her up.
"Let's go princess."
"Where?" she said.
"Somewhere. You'll see." I said with a smirk.
She groaned and followed me out. I took her to a small coffee shop near the Magix mall and we got in line to order.
"Which kind do you like?" I asked her.
"You don't have to pay for mine." She said.
"Oh come on, princess, I troubled you all night, at least let me buy you coffee." I said.
I smirked at her blush. She slapped me in the arm lightly and told me to stop making fun of her.
We got our coffee and drank it. I kept teasing her and by the time we were about to leave, she was as red as her hair and it was so cute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2 weeks later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bloom's POV:
"Girls, we need to be on high alert. Valtor and the Trix haven't attacked for 2 weeks. It is very strange." Said Mrs. F.
"Got it, Mrs. F." we chorused.
Mrs. F. made us train for long hours and when we got back to the dorm, the other girls went straight to bed. I forced myself to stay awake. When I was sure that Flora was asleep, I quietly walked to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. I quickly gulped it down and headed for the library.
It was true, I hadn't seen Valtor since the coffee shop, about two weeks ago. There were still some things I needed to learn about, so I looked around for books on telepathic communication, the levels of transformations of fairies, and even books about the dragon fire. After about an hour, I had found nothing. I eyed the restricted vault. Maybe my dark half could help me because she was back from dormancy.
Come on, it's not that hard to get in
But it's the RESTRICTED section.
It'll be in and out. Just take a quick look inside.
I tiptoed over to the vault and opened the door magically.
That was easier than I thought.
Turns out, Mrs. F. was smarter than that. Every time I touched a book on the shelf, I was shocked by it. I quickly left, so I wouldn't get caught.
Wait, doesn't Cloud Tower have an unrestricted library?
It does. Your point?
Can't we go in there to research.
Yes, we could. We just need to witch up your look.
She made my hair darker red. She also made me have a white shirt with a black skull on it and a black leather jacket with a black mini-skirt and black knee high boots. My makeup was tinted darker. I just had a witchy aura.
Perfect.
I teleported to Cloud Tower and walked through the door. Turns out, that I didn't know where I was going and I ended up lost. I continued to wander the halls for a while.
At Alfea:
General POV:
The sirens woke the school up around midnight. The Winx girls groggily walked to the shared common room of their dorm.
"Is everyone up yet?" Musa asked tiredly.
"Where are Layla and Bloom?" Flora asked.
"Oh no. Maybe they were kidnapped." Stella suggested.
"Who knows. But we need to find them." Flora said.
The girls transformed and joined the other fairies fighting the witches.
"This is terrible, all the witches have been brainwashed into fighting for Valtor and the Trix!" Tecna said.
"There!" Stella spotted them and the girls all flew up, ready to battle.
Icy spoke, "You will surrender, if you want your friend unharmed!"
"You're bluffing." Musa said.
"If you say so." Icy said while pulling up a picture of Layla in the magicless cage.
"No! Don't hurt her! We surrender!" Musa yelled. All of the girls threw their hands up. Stormy and Darcy teamed up to put magic-restricting handcuffs around each girl's wrists. Darcy teleported them all to Cloud Tower's dungeon, where they were thrown in with Griffin and Layla. The girls all hugged Layla, glad to see her again unharmed. The cackling witches left, leaving the prisoners in silence.
Bloom's POV:
I wandered the endless halls of the school for witches. The school seemed empty, which was unusual. I felt like I was going in circles until I saw a different looking door. I opened it. With my curiosity piqued, I went through the door and down the long spiral stone stairs. I lit a small flame on the palm of my hand to help me see in the dimly lit area. I saw something glowing towards the back of the room. As I got closer, I realized it was a cage, and upon further inspection, I saw that it contained the Winx girls had Headmistress Griffin. I touched the bars of the cage. Bad idea. They shocked me and I jumped back. That's when I noticed the little pad on the door of the cage.
"Who locked you into the cage?"
"Valtor. He used a magic lock, so only someone with his magic can open it." Griffin explained.
"Perfect"
I focused my powers and pressed my hand to it. It made a click and the door opened.
"Cloud Tower shifts its passages often, and even I don't know the way out. How will we get out of here? Everyone who was in the cage has no magic, since the cages drained it."
"I can teleport up to six people at a time. So I will teleport you guys to Alfea first and then when my powers recharge enough to make a second teleport, I will teleport myself to Alfea. Okay great." Before they had a chance to respond, I quickly said the spell and they were gone in an instant. I left the dungeon and continued to wander the halls.
After a while, I found the library. It was huge! I gawked at the size of it. I quickly found the books I needed and tucked them into my bag. Then I walked back into the hallway to keep exploring and find the way out.
I didn't know how long I had been walking, but it felt like a long time. When I turned the corner, I came face to face with a shadow monster. I slowly backed away and ran. I saw a door offset from the corner and ran through it, slamming it shut behind me. It looked like I had wandered into an office of sorts. There were spell books stacked everywhere. I heard the clacking of heels not far from where I was.
Cloak your magic signature and hide! I can sense someone coming.
I cloaked my magic signature with Dragon Fire and hid in the closet, but I left it open a crack so I could see what happened. Icy walked in and started rummaging through the desk. Then Valtor walked in and asked her what she was doing.
"I thought I saw someone go in here. Guess I was wrong." Icy said.
"I don't see or sense anybody, so if you would, please leave." He said. He then proceeded to go out the door. After a little bit, I saw Icy come back into the office.
Argh, I'll never get out while she's here. I can't teleport while my magic is drained, so I guess, I'm stuck here.
"I know you are in here, so come out now!" She called.
Transport your bag to your dorm, then go out. She knows you are in the closet, so I think you should come out when she says. Maybe she'll go easier on you.
Maybe she doesn't know that I am here.
I quickly transported my bag to my bed in Alfea and thought of what to do. She walked right by the closet and I breathed a sigh of relief. I felt myself being lifted and I yelped.
"Found you. Sisters come in here!" She threw me on the ground roughly.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Darcy said while circling me.
"A witch that can't follow orders." Stormy said.
"Let's take her to the dungeon." Icy said with a glint in her eye.
They threw me in the dungeon and Darcy said a spell that removed my powers. They proceeded to hit me with various spells and attacks, making me cry out in pain. They walked out of the dungeon in single file, leaving me broken and shivering in the cell.
Do you have power?
Not enough to teleport, but I do have enough to get us out of this cell.
How long will it be until my powers return?
It's hard to say. It could be anywhere from 15 minutes to a few days.
Is our illusion still working?
Yes.
I tried to get up, but immediately falling because of the pain that coursed through my body. I just sat there shivering and shuddering in pain. I guess I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, I was lying in a bed. Upon further inspection, I realized that it wasn't mine. I tried to get up, but couldn't. I heard a rustle on the other side of the room. I looked to see Valtor, who was staring at me. I blinked at him. He got up and walked closer. He muttered a healing spell and then pulled me out of the bed.
"I've never seen you before. Who are you?"
"I um, I'm…"
He grabbed me by the shoulders. "Answer the question, who are you?"
I looked at the ground, took a deep breath and dropped my illusion. I felt him gently lift my chin, making me look up at his face. "Bloom, what are you doing here?"
"I had some unanswered questions, and Alfea's library was restricted" I whispered with a blush.
He pulled me closer muttering about me "being an idiot."
"You could always ask me, you know." He said.
"Valtor, I want to get to know you." I blurted.
Curse my big mouth.
He smirked and put his hand on my waist. "Same here, princess"
I blushed, "Stop calling me princess, because I'm not one, and you know my name."
"As you wish, princess." He smirked.
"Argh, you idiot." I punched him in the chest playfully. He smirked.
"You said you had unanswered questions, why don't we start with those?" He said.
"Let's go." He led me to the library. We walked in comfortable silence. We spent hours in the library reading books after books. We had looked through pretty much the entire library. Now all we needed to do was find some spell books that Valtor needed. After some wandering through the colossal library, I finally found them, on the top shelf. I dragged the ladder to the shelf and climbed up. I reached for the books but found them to be inches from my fingertips, even with my heeled boots. I tried to stand on my tiptoes, but the pile of wood on wheels wobbled and I hung on tight, trying to steady it. I heard a snicker and saw Valtor looking at me, smirking. I lost my balance and fell from the ladder, and Valtor caught me in his arms.
"Nice to see you balance has improved," He said while gently setting me on my feet. I crossed my arms and stuck my tongue out at him. Valtor was at least a good 6 inches taller than me and had no trouble getting the books down from the shelf using the ladder. We finished researching in library and he walked me to the edge of the forest by Alfea.
"Wanna do this again sometime?"
"It would be my honor, princess." He said while kissing the back of my hand. "Are you free on Friday night?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then, meet me here at 4:30 Friday evening."
"See you then, Valtor." I said with a smile. I waved him good bye and walked back to my dorm
When I went to my shared room, I saw Mrs. Faragonda next to my bed, tapping my foot impatiently. "It's good to see you finally decide to come back, Bloom." She said in controlled tones. "Everyone has been worried sick about you."
"Sorry, Mrs. F, it won't happen again." I apologized.
"You're forgiven dear, but I have one question for you. Where did you get these books?" She lifted the books I had taken from Cloud Tower's library. My eyes widened.
"From the library." I answered.
"That's not true and we both know it. These types of books can only be found in the restricted section and I know that you don't have a pass to go in there. Now tell me where you really got them."
"I got them from Cloud Tower." I mumbled.
"I'm sorry what, dear?"
"I said I got them from Cloud Tower," I repeated louder.
"I normally do not give punishments for going to the Cloud Tower library, but with these times, I must." She sighed.
"What is my punishment?" I decided to shut up and take whatever she had in store for me.
"I am going to put this tracker band on your wrist. It will also limit your Dragon Fire to basic spells. I can't have you doing things that may put you in danger. I am also requiring you to stay at Alfea for the next two days before you are allowed out again. I'm not going to pull you out of the fight with Valtor, but I don't think you will be useful to the Winx with minimal spells."
"I understand Mrs. F."
"Good, now get to bed." She said.
I wish I could read her aura, but my other half is off somewhere and won't be back until tomorrow.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Time Skip to Tomorrow Morning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up groggily and scratched my head. I felt something cold on my face and found that it was a bracelet.
Since when do I wear bracelets?
The events of last night came crashing down on me.
Guess who's back?
You will never believe what happened when you were gone.
I told her the entire story about what happened, not leaving out any details.
The tracker only restrains the Dragon Fire, right? So when you make a spell, just focus on the Shadowfire, which can't be traced.
She implied that she didn't want me fighting Valtor.
Once your house arrest is over, you should just cast an invisibility spell on yourself and follow the girls. If they need help, you can be there to help them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Three Days Later ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Valtor's POV:
I needed the Agador Box from the museum because my spell collection was getting too large. I sent a warning to the museum workers.
I summoned the Trix and informed the of the plan. I would take care of the guards and defenders while the Trix would get in and take the Agador Box. With a snap of my fingers, we were all across the street from the museum. The plan was going successfully. The guards had been sedated and the Trix were on their way to retrieve the Agador Box. The idiot museum workers thought I was after the Ancestral Eye, so they put all their guards in one room, making them too easy to knock out.
Bloom's POV:
I put the invisibility spell on it using Shadowfire, so the tracker wouldn't alert Faragonda about the spell, and ran out the door after the other girls. They went to the Magix museum and raced inside. I calmly walked in. They were talking about protecting the Ancestral Eye from Valtor, but I knew him well enough to know that wasn't what he was after. I walked into the main showcase of the museum, wondering what Valtor could possibly want.
Think, Bloom, think. What does he have, and what does he need? He has a huge spell collection.
I looked over each of the exhibits, until one of them caught my eye. Agador Box: Known for being able to hold a limitless amount of magic.
This is it. This is what he came for. Now what can I do to prevent the Trix from getting it.
You could always make a copy of it and hide the real thing.
That is exactly what I did. I make a copy that looked exactly like the real, but didn't have the same power as the real box. I quickly swapped the boxes, grabbed the original one and ran into a nearby closet and left it open a crack.
What is it with you and closets?
Be quiet.
I saw the Trix pass by the closet I was in and go for the fake box. They grabbed it and teleported out of the museum. I snickered at them quietly.
I then cast an illusion spell on myself and proceeded to give the real box to the museum's curator.
Icy's POV:
"Argh! I underestimated those museum people!" Valtor growled, "They planted a fake Agador Box and you idiots fell for it!"
"Hey! Don't blame us for it. You fell for it too!" I argued.
"They will pay for tricking me!" He said.
Stormy plopped down on the couch and turned on the news.
"Breaking News. We previously thought that Valtor had stolen the Agador Box, but new footage has shown that Valtor does not have the real box."
"Hey, look! We're on the news!" Stormy exclaimed.
"Shhh," we all hissed at her. Everyone's attention was now on the TV. The newswoman rolled the footage from the museum's security camera. My jaw dropped as it played. Someone had duplicated the Agador Box, taken the real one, and hidden in the closet with it as my sisters and I had passed it. Whoever the invisible person was then made an illusion spell and handed the box to the museum curator.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to look at Darcy, who said "Calm down." To me. It was then that I noticed the floor and wall around me was covered in a thick layer of ice. I took a few deep breaths as Valtor waved his hand and reversed the damage I did.
Bloom's POV:
I walked to my dorm room to get ready for my date with Valtor. I changed from blue striped crop top with hearts, a pair of black skinny jeans and blue wedge booties. I wrote a note to my friends so they wouldn't worry. I teleported to the part of the forest where Valtor wanted to meet up with me and waited for him. And waited. When I was about to leave, I heard a loud 'Ahem' and saw a smirking Valtor. I could sense the disguise spell on him. "Hello, princess."
"Hey." I waved and he waved back.
"Let's get out of here." He said in a tone that sent shivers down my spine. Valtor then teleported us to a place I didn't recognize.
"Where are we?" I asked him.
"You'll see, darling." He said.
When we got to the place, my eyes widened and I shot him a goofy grin when I saw the amusement park.
"I remember you mentioning Earth, so here we are. You like it?"
"No. I love it. Thank you Valtor for bringing me here." I said.
"You're welcome, princess," he replied.
I smirked at him and dragged him to the rides. We went on the really high swing ride, the carousel, the Tilt-a-Whirl, the Himalaya (Valtor said he was pretty sure he sprained his back on it. He was only playing though.), and the bumper cars.
After we got off the bumper cars, Valtor smirked at me, grabbed my arm and pulled me to the roller coasters. I told him that I hated roller coasters, and he smirked wider. He picked out the scariest looking one and pulled me towards it. It had 8 rows of 2 seats. It had a huge drop and many twists and turns, with a loop and one final large drop. We got in and I held on to his muscular arm. The ride started and I gulped. The chain on the track slowly raised the cars to the top of the starting hill and stopped there for a minute. I looked down and yelped. Valtor chuckled at my reaction and I elbowed him lightly in the side. Then came the terrifyingly fast drop. I screamed and buried my face into his shirt. I felt his chest rumble with laughter and I looked up. We were in the middle of the loop and my stomach twisted and I clung to Valtor. As soon as the loop ended, the train suddenly stopped, making us jerk forward in our seats. The chains lifted the train to the top and dropped us at a faster speed than last time. I screamed and buried my face into his chest again. The ride was soon over and Valtor walked over to the photo booth to get our pictures. I had forgotten that they took pictures of people on the coasters, and I followed him to see what kind of picture of us it had. Valtor was chuckling at it. He showed it to me. Just my luck. It clearly showed me with my face buried in his chest while he had an arm wrapped around me and was smirking. It was then that I saw what Valtor looked like with his disguise spell on. He had the same illusion spell from Club Avalon. He took a picture of it and saved it as his phone's wallpaper. I blushed as red as my hair and tried to snatch his phone away from him, but he raised it high above his head where he knew I couldn't reach it. I crossed my arms and scowled at him. He tickled me, making me laugh.
"See, I can make you laugh." He said playfully. I punched his arm. "Come on, princess, let's go get some food. He bought us corndogs, a funnel cake, lemonade, and cotton candy.
"Let me see your phone." I gave him my phone. He unlocked it and programmed his number into it. Then he sent me the picture of us, and saved it as my phone's wallpaper. "Now they match." He said while handing my phone back. I had to admit, it was a cute picture. He caught me smiling at it and said, "I knew you liked it." While he wrapped his arm around me. I leaned on him, noticing how perfectly my head fit into the crook of his neck. After we ate, he took my hand and led me to the Ferris wheel. We got on and were at the top soon. He took his phone out of his pocket, brought me close and snapped a picture with the setting sun as a background. He sent it to me and put his phone back into his pocket. Valtor wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I looked down at my lap. He lifted my chin gently, forcing me to look up at him. He ran his thumb across my bottom lip, making chills run down my spine. "You're beautiful." He whispered huskily before pressing his lips to mine. Liquid lava ran through my veins and I felt the butterflies in my stomach flutter at an insane speed. His taste was indescribably wonderful. One of his hands was at my waist while the other tangled in my hair. My hands found their way to his chest and later slid up the back of his neck. We deepened the kiss and pulled away only when the need for air became too strong. I rested my forehead against his, looking into his eyes. He smiled at me. That was the first time I had seen him actually smile.
The Ferris wheel moved and I shrieked and jumped because of the sudden movement. Valtor pulled to him and chuckled. We got off the ride and walked around the amusement park, just enjoying each other's company. He won me a giant stuffed bear at one of the games and I hugged him as a thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Alfea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
General POV:
"Where is Bloom?" Stella asked.
"I haven't seen her since before we left for the museum." Musa said.
"Maybe she's in our room," Flora said. Flora walked to the room she shared with Bloom. She came back holding a note. She read it to the girls. Stella looked like she was about to burst.
"Ohhh, she's out on a DATE! I want all the juicy deets when she gets back!" Stella squealed.
"Winx Club members please report to Headmistress Faragonda's office." Griselda's voice echoed over the intercom.
"I wonder what she wants." Tecna said. Musa shrugged.
The girls entered the headmistress's office. "Girls, Bloom is gone." She said gravely.
"We know. She is out on a date." Stella chirped.
"Then why did her tracker disappear? It is supposed to track her location wherever she goes." She asked.
"Maybe it just malfunctioned." Tecna said.
"Or the couple went to Earth." Layla suggested.
"Her last known location was the Magix shuttle station. Find her and make sure that she is not in danger. I am coming with you."
"Yes, Mrs. F." Musa said.
"Solaria!" Stella summoned her scepter and teleported them to the shuttle station. They looked on the board that listed recently departed shuttles and found one that left for Earth hours ago. The next one there would be leaving in 5 minutes. They got tickets and boarded the shuttle. Soon, the group landed near an amusement park.
"That's probably where they went." Layla said. They walked there and started looking around for their flame headed friend.
Bloom's POV:
We continued to wander around the park. Valtor saw the Mega Drop and led us to it. We put everything in the bin that they had at the front and found two open seats. The ride operator locked the harnesses and I held on so tight, my knuckles turned white. The ride went up and I looked down. We were nearly 700 feet in the air. I glanced at Valtor, who looked like he was enjoying himself. The ride dropped us at an insane speed. I screamed, while Valtor yelled, "Woohoo!" The ride coasted to a stop and I was prepared to be let out when it went up again three quarters. It dropped us to the halfway mark, and pulled us to the top. It dropped us faster than before, and I screamed. It came to a stop at the bottom. I caught my breath while the harnesses clicked open, letting all the riders out. My heart was still racing as we exited the ride. Suddenly, I saw something that made my eyes widen to the size of dinner plates.
I poked Valtor in the side and hissed, "What are THEY doing here?" gesturing to the girls and Faragonda.
"How did they know we were here?" He asked.
"I didn't tell them. I only figured out where we were when we got here." I said.
"They must have tracked us somehow." He said. My eyes flicked to the bracelet I was wearing.
"Don't tell me…" He said. We had a sort of chemistry, we fit together like puzzle pieces, so I immediately knew what he was saying. I just nodded. He face-palmed. "Bloom, when will you learn?" He groaned. "We need to figure out how to disable it."
"It only works in the magic dimension." I said. "So they can track my movements."
"We'll figure something out. How about we meet up tomorrow by Lake Roccaluce?"
"Sounds good, but right now I need an illusion." I focused on my Shadowfire and make myself have the same illusion that I had in Club Avalon. Valtor's eyes widened.
"That was you?" He said in almost a whisper. I looked down and nodded, too embarrassed to do anything more. "I'll kill whoever made you cry." He growled, putting his arm around me protectively.
I saw Stella and Flora transform. I knew what they were going to do: they were going to do an illusion remover/ tracking spell convergence. I silently whispered a Shadowfire spell that would make our illusions undetectable.
"Did you feel that wave of dark magic?" Valtor asked.
"It's supposed to make our illusions undetectable and unbreakable." I replied.
"But Dragon Fire illusions are already unbreakable." He said, confused.
"The spell I used makes them undetectable as well. Plus, I can't use the Dragon Fire, the bracelet restricts it." I said
"Sweetness, when we get back, I have a few questions for you." He said.
"I'll answer them at the lake tomorrow." I said.
"Deal." He replied.
"I see them going away, I'm going to take off the illusion, but I'm going to make my hair a darker red." I said.
Valtor smirked devilishly, and led me to the roller coaster section and we stood in the shortest line, which was for the tallest and scariest roller coaster in the park.
Winx: General POV:
The group walked around the park, looking for Bloom.
"I'm sure she is fine." Musa said, "I mean, this is Bloom we're talking about."
"Musa's right. While we're here, I say we go on some rides." Stella said.
"I say we start with the one that has the shortest line." Layla said. "That one."
They got in line behind a couple and when it was their turn, got on the ride. Faragonda did not go on the thrill ride. The ride started and the train lifted them to the top of the ride. Stella looked down and shrieked. Flora closed her eyes and calmed herself down. The others marveled at the sight. Their attention fell to the couple in front of them. The redhead girl was clinging to the guy's arm, saying how much she hated roller coasters. When the ride dropped, they saw her scream and bury her face in the guy's shirt. He told her to look up and she started to enjoy it. Pretty soon, the ride ended and the couple walked to the photo stand. The Winx girls followed suit. They got their picture and were looking at it. Stella pulled out her phone to take a picture of it, and then started videoing the couple.
"Bloom, you look ridiculous!" The brunette guy said, laughing. This caught the girls' attention. They looked at the photo the guy was holding and snickered. There she was. Her eyes were half closed and she had a crooked smile on her face and had her hands halfway up. The guy had a huge smile on his face in the picture.
"Let me see!" She said. The guy held it high above his head. Bloom jumped to try to grab, it but failed miserably. She took the jumbo plush bear she was holding and whacked him with it.
"I hate you." She said while rolling her eyes.
"Love you too, princess." He said, smirking. When she didn't respond, he started tickling her. She started giggling like a little girl.
"You idiot! I'll get you" she exclaimed. Bloom punched him on the shoulder. He picked her up and twirled her in the air.
"Not if I get you first." He said before setting her down. "It's getting late, and I don't want you to miss Alfea's curfew."
"Let's go." She said. Stella stopped recording and sent the video to Brandon. The girls and Faragonda followed them to the shuttle. They got out at Alfea shortly afterwards, but the couple stayed on board.
"I wonder where they are going," Flora thought, "But it would be rude to follow them."
At Red Fountain:
Sky's POV
"Hey guys, check out this video Stella sent me!" Brandon said from the common room.
He was sitting at the dining table, scrolling through his phone. We all crowded around him to get a look at his phone. The video started to play and we saw a guy with brown hair and a muscular body tease Bloom about looking ridiculous. She tried to reach the hilarious photo, but the guy had it high above his head. There was laughter heard in the background. She pretended to be mad at him, and he tickled her. After a little bit, he picked her up and twirled her in the air.
By the time the video ended, my blood was boiling. I slammed my fist on the table in rage. Before anyone could say anything, I stormed out of the dorm. I walked to Alfea and waited at the door, waiting for Bloom to come back.
I hope you all enjoyed that. I can't believe this is actually happening. This is my first story, like EVER! If you liked it, please remember to hit that review button.
