{chapter 2}
As the next day arrived, Beautrice seems to be in a very bad mood. She charges out of her room, destroying half of the household things inside the dorm, leaving the Winx fairies to wonder if she is okay.
"I wonder what's gotten into her?" wondered Kartanna.
"She's been in a bad mood since yesterday." says Zieque as he turns to the others. "What did you two say to her?"
Janus and Sherris both looked away, refusing to admit that they are the ones responsible for Beautrice's behavior.
"Don't look at me!" Janus scoffed in denial. "I didn't start this, she did!"
"That goes double for me!" says Sherris, folding her arms.
Leela is not amused with this at all. She walk up to the two girls and gives them a stern look.
"Girls!" the blue fairy said with a disappointment expression.
"What?!" both Janus and Sherris said in unison.
Brunknox witness Beautrice using her powers to make everything explode at her will, due to her terrifyingly moody behavior. He turned to the others and speaks out.
"Well, one of us have to go talk to her." said Brunknox. "As friends, we gotta know what's been bothering her."
"And get raven-attacked?! No way!" said Zieque, going back to his video games.
"Aaron?" said Brunknox, turning to look at Aaron.
"Fine! I'll go talk to her." says Aaron as he walks into the room.
Beautrice is making a mess in her room with her cloudy mood. Aaron takes a deep breathe and knocks on her door.
"Umm... Beautrice?" says Aaron.
"WHAT?!" shouted Beautrice in a nasty tone.
Aaron enters her room, checking up on her.
"What's the matter?" Aaron asked, concerned. "Is there something wrong?"
Beautrice turns away, refusing to say anything to him.
"None of your business, Aaron!" she snapped. "This does not concern you! Now leave me alone!"
"Beautrice?!" shouts Kartanna as she steps in. "Is that anyway to treat your friends who is trying to talk to you?!"
"What gives you the right to enter my room?!" Beautrice snapped at Kartanna. "Just get out!"
Kartanna refuses to leave Beautrice's room. So she put her foot down and starts saying something smart to the dark ravenous fairy.
"Look, girl! Pushing friends away isn't gonna make things better, you know." says Kartanna with a sassy diva tone. "Like it or not? We are you friends! We can't help you if you don't fill us in on what's is making you moody like this!"
Then suddenly, Beautrice finally calms down and gives in. She began to tell them about her problem.
"Okay. Here it goes." Beautrice sighs heavily as she continues. "My dad is coming to visit."
"Your dad?" says Janus, making a funny look on her face. "Coming to visit here? How does that explain your violent outburst?"
"You don't understand!" said Beautrice in a sharp tone of voice. "He is not your typical dad!"
"Umm, you're forgetting that I also have a typical father back in my home planet." said Brunknox, sarcastically.
"No, Brunknox! That's not what I meant!" shouted Beautrice. "My dad is not like any other father out there in the galaxy."
"Well everybody's dads have their own way of being anything else." said Leela. "I don't get why are you so worked up about him coming to see you?"
Beautrice sighs heavily again and calmly explains her harsh childhood.
"Let's just say I have issues growing up back on Griffin-Dora." says Beautrice, looking down at the floor.
The Winx feels so sorry for Beautrice. They all gathered around inside her room and comforted her.
"Beautrice. You wanna talk about it?" said Novia as she holds Bea's hand.
Beautrice began telling her story.
"When I was born, my dad would wanted me to carry out his family name." said Beautrice as she continues her story. "He is the most heartless man than anyone else on my planet. He treated my mom like a worthless piece of work, he's very controlling and manipulative and he never takes no for an answer. Since I'm his favorite child, he expected me to be just as heartless as him. And nobody in my family will ever support his wishes, nor did they supported me."
"Awww! That is so sad." says Sherris, nearly shedding a tear.
"Just don't cry on me, okay?" says Beautrice as she continues on. "He will always take me out on a father and daughter trip, just to train me to be the most evil person no one has ever seen. If I refuse to do as he say, he will punish me by putting me into a dark hole in the backyard and leave me there for a day or two. When I'm ready, he will come get me out and train me again. At first, I never felt so good about it but I kinda like it. I became the most wickedest girl my dad wanted me to be. I play mean tricks on others, I destroyed all of what they own and I put dark curses on people. They all hated me for it."
"Wow. Go figure." Zieque joked a little.
"Zieque!" said Aaron, sternly.
"What? I'm just saying." said Zieque, shrugging his shoulders.
"Guys? Stop being rude and listen!" snapped Beautrice.
Aaron and Zieque remained silent. Novia wondered about the rest of Beautrice's life story.
"Then what made you change your mind about going from bad to good?" asked Novia.
"Not what, who." said Beautrice as she continues to tell them what she remembers. "It was that fairy name Cassandra. She is one of the only brave fairies who dared to enter my home planet. She is a flower fairy. Knowing that my kind doesn't take kindly to those who intruded Griffin-Dora, my father sent me to get rid of her. When I tried to do just that, her innocence drives me crazy. I couldn't bare to hurt her. So instead, I became friends with her. When we reach the age of 13, we would go on dangerous adventures together. I sneak out behind my father's back whenever I could, to meet her in the dark meadow. We like to hang out there and pick flowers. Out of all the people who hated me, she is the only friend I could ever have. Way long before you guys."
The Winx fairies were all touched by Beautrice's life story. They could never imagine growing up in a dark world would be like for her. As they listen to her story, Beautrice tells them the rest of her tale.
"But this one night, my father found out that I made friends with Cassandra." said Beautrice. "He was enraged by this and then he went out to go looking for me. And when he found me and Cassandra, he demanded that I place a curse on her so he'll be proud of me. But I refuse to do it. He got angry and decides to take matter into his own hands. In his power, he banished her into the Black Ambyss, where I'll never see her again. And then he put me in the dark hole for five days until I learned my lesson. For evey split second, I hated him for as long as I can remember."
The Winx fairies felt so bad for Beautrice. They were all moved by her sad story of her life on Griffin-Dora and the thought of her own father would do something terrible to her and Cassandra. Just as Beautrice finishes her story, a knock on the door was sounded. The fairies wonder who it is.
"I'll go get it." said Leela as she walks to the door.
When she answered it, a strange dark figure was in her presents. A man with black hair, dark blue eyes, lavender skin and very tall. He glared down at Leela with angry eyes, sending shivers down her spine.
"I'm here for my daughter." said the tall old man.
"Ok. Well... Come in...sir.." says Leela in a shakened voice as she welcomes the figure in the room.
As he enters, all the Winx fairies were all alerted of his cold presents, but not Beautrice for she knows who he is.
"Whoa! He's scary." said Zieque, sarcastically.
Beautrice stood up from her bed and faces the man.
"Guys, this is my father." says Beautrice in a disgusted tone.
Novia and her friends were intiminated by the man who glared back at them. Now that they met the man who happened to be Beautrice's father, little do they not know that his bitter hatred towards them all, has lead him into planning a nasty surprise for the fairies.
