{chapter 4}

As Novia and her friends went to search for Brunknox, he was nowhere to be found. Which made the fairies become even more and more suspicious. They landed back on the academy grounds to meet up with each other.

"Any sign of him?" Aaron asked.

"No. Not a clue." said Sherris, shaking her head.

"So any ideas on where he might be?" Leela suggested

This just in, Hictor and Kartanna came up to the crew.

"We have." said Kartanna as she turns to look at Hictor.

"The Black Trix's brothers have him." said Hictor with a strong look on his face.

Meanwhile, back at the abandoned school of Despairia, Brunknox couldn't believe that he was fooled by the Trix brothers. He struggles to get free.

"So it was you who send me those letters?!" shouted Brunknox.

"Yes. We have arranged this entire trap for you and your friends." said Cyclonus.

Brunknox struggles even more with anger.

"You tricked me!" he yelled as he clutched his fists. "You dirty rotten Trix!"

"Na uh uh." teased Jarz, giving the fairy the pointer finger. "It's not nice to call people mean names, fairy."

Cyclonus came up to the chained muscle fairy, and grabs his chin.

"Oh, but do not worry. We asure you that your friends will join you soon enough." said Cyclonus with a wicked grin.

Meanwhile, the Winx fairies flied across Vantaillas city, to find their friend.

"I cannot believe the Black Trix would go a whole nine yards just to take us all down!" says Leela.

"Yeah, just you wait until I summon my full wrath on those creeps!" snapped Beautrice, clutching her dark powers with her fist.

"I can't wait to send them to a volcano." said Janus.

Suddenly, Kartanna got a signal on her techno device.

"Hey y'all! I got a reading." said Kartanna.

"Really? You found Brunknox?" Novia asked.

"According to my advance tracer, he is in..." said Kartanna, but then she paused for a split second.

"What?!" the Winx all said as they stop in mid air to hear what Kartanna have to say.

Kartanna took a deep breath, and said, "He is in Despairia."

The name frightened the fairies. Hearing it sends chills down their spines.

"Despairia?!" said Novia in fear.

"You mean that scary school that was shut down years ago?" asked Sherris, shakened up a bit.

"Yes." said Kartanna. "And they took him there."

They looked at the abandoned school far across the mountians, surrounded by dark clouds. Beautrice flies in front of the group.

"I have an idea." said Beautrice. "I want you guys to stay close to me."

"Why?" Zieque asked in confusion.

"You'll know why." Beautrice says with a wise tone of voice as she uses her powers. "This ride is about to get bumpy! Raven Shadow Wing!"

Her dark power has orbbed the fairies to the school of Despairia. As they got there, they were amazed.

"Whoa! How did you do that?" asked Janus in shock.

"I grew up on Griffin-Dora." said Beautrice. "The spell I used got us there faster."

Kartanna looks at Beautrice.

"Now I know what it feels like to be you." Kartanna joked a little.

"Okay, now we have to find Brunknox." said Novia as she turns around.

"Leave it to me. I can track him." said Hictor as he uses his power to Brunknox.

The Winx follows Hictor as he leads them. Little do they not know is they're being watched by the evil wizard brothers, through the crystal eyeball.

"Speaking of those fairies, here they come now." says Jarz as he taunts Brunknox with the reflection.

"NO!" yells Brunknox as he struggles more.

"And it looks like they lost their way here." said Cyclonus as he smiles. "How about we send them a guide to help them. Shall we, brother?"

"You got it!" said Jarz as he conjures a nightmarish monster. "Now, my pet. Go fetch your prey!"

The monster went through the walls like a shadowy ghost. Meanwhile, the Winx werre navigating the hallways in search for their friend. Sherris was still a bit shaky as she looks at the creepy statues in the hallway, and the horrific setting Despairia gives out.

"Urrrr... No wonder they shut down this school." said Sherris, getting all creepped out. "Its too scary here!"

"Scared, Sherris?" teased Beautrice.

"Well yeah!" said Sherris.

"You are such a scaredy cat." teased Beautrice as she giggles.

"Do you have any idea how terrifying this building gives out?!" shouts Sherris, unamused with Beautrice.

"I can't focus with you shouting, Sherris!" says Hictor.

Then all of a sudden, they began to hear a strange growling noise coming from the shadows.

"Um... Did you guys hear that?" Novia asked in fear of the noise.

The growling noise continues to fill the area.

"You know, I hate hearing that sound in my sleep." said Zieque.

"Everyone, stay alert!" says Aaron.

The Winx prepare to fight what ever is making those terrifying growling sounds. It became louder and louder as the monster approaches.

"Where is that growling coming from?" Janus wondered.

"Well, I think we are about to find out." said Leela as she point at the figure lingering in the shadows. "Look!"

The monster begans to show itself and now snarling at the Winx club fairies. They backed away as the monster crept closer to them, ready for the attack.

"Uh... You know, I'd run from that if I were you guys." said Sherris, afraid of the monster.

It appears to be that the Winx club fairies are about to fall prey to Jarz's deadly monster yet.
