Chapter 4: The Revenge of Valtor

"…You have no place to go Bloom," her father said smirking at her. Bloom was afraid, before doing anything Bloom figured out it would be easier to jump off a cliff than battling with her parents. She turned around and gave a smirk to her parents, their eyes widen in realization "you wouldn't dare…!" Her mother yelled almost in anger.

"Oh, I would." Bloom said and gave an evil smile at them and turned around and jumped off the cliff. Oritel and Marion were shocked for what Bloom done just now, jump over the cliff of the waterfall. She would get herself killed like that. They had horrid expression on their faces watching Bloom fall down the cliff.

Bloom was now happy to be away from them but for now, she needs to get to Maya. She dived into the deep river; though she doesn't know that the river is flowing fast it could drown her, if she doesn't know how to swim right, if she swims wrong she could lose her life to it.

Bloom swam up to the surface. She immediately noticed the river flow was going fast she needed something to grab on quickly. She saw a long branch of tree sticking out and she grabbed onto it and pulled herself out of the river and fell to the ground coughing, and spitting out water.

Then she saw a figure, a man, walking up to her. She gasped and got up quickly and started backing up away from the man, "who...who are you?" Bloom asked.

"My name's Valtor." He said walking up to Bloom. Somehow she felt uncomfortable by his presence.

"No need to be afraid." He said in a calm voice, trying to touch the girl on her face to soothe her.

"Get your hands off her!" A man yelled from a close distance to be able to see this man trying to touch the girl. Bloom turned around and saw them. Great! Now, what do they want from her? She wanted to do something...something that would kill them for life.

"Kiss me and say that you love me to them okay." Bloom explained to Valtor without thinking what would happen to Valtor later.

"What?" Valtor replied in shock. He was in daze at the young redheaded woman who was in his arms before him.

"Just kiss me, please." She begged of him. "You want me to kiss you." He said it in a way so sexy.

"Yes, please now." He looked at the girl; she desperately wants him to kiss her. He leaned in his hands on her waist. He pulled her close to him and once his lips touched her's suddenly, there was an instance spark that just connected after so many years, and this spark was somehow love all over again. He loved it. Whatever she was doing to him, he loved it! He kept on kissing her passionately until Oritel and Marion gasped it was their enemy Valtor.

"What the hell are you doing with him Bloom?! Stop kissing him!" Oritel yelled in anger.

Bloom didn't seem to listen to him because she didn't want to stop what she was doing. She wants them to get angry. She felt it anger Oritel so much. She wants to piss them off for the heck of it. Bloom shook her head.

"You have no idea what your doing young lady!" Marion yelled. She hated this man more than ever and what's happening now is...Bloom was kissing a man that trapped the entire realm of Domino along with the ancestral witches and his mothers were the ones who killed Daphne.

"Stop this now!" Oritel boomed even more. Bloom separated from Valtor and she looked at them, "why should I?" She said to them.

"Because he's our enemy or you mean he's your enemy." Bloom said the way she said it to them sent shivers down Oritel and Marion's spine. They were glaring at her. Valtor noticed something seemed off about the three of them and recognize them as Oritel and Marion and the girl that he was kissing was probably their daughter.

"Oritel...Marion long time no see, huh?" Valtor said. He noticed the girl doesn't want to be around them. He looked at the girl and he could easily read her. He saw in her that she hated them and wants to piss them off easily.

"Get the hell away from Bloom!" Oritel said.

"Why?" Questioned Valtor. He already knowing the answer from Bloom.

"Because...you're her enemy." Marion replied back.

"What if I don't want to be her enemy? What are you going to do?" Valtor said, trying to piss them off. It worked. Marion and Oritel were starting to become irritated by him. They looked at Bloom with their eyes vengeance for killing. Bloom noticed that look in their eyes and knew that they weren't done with her just yet.

"If you won't become her enemy then we will." Oritel said tightening his hand on the sword.

"You're already my enemy!" Bloom yelled back, Oritel drew out his sword, Marion prepared her magic, and Valtor also prepared his magic on them. He was actually on Bloom's side this time. He wanted his revenge to happen, and after that probably fall in love with the girl.

"You've imprisoned me in the Omega Dimension for seventeen years and now its time to get back at you." Valtor said.

"In your dreams, Valtor." Marion replied, and with that Bloom completely transformed into her Winx form. Now, they were all prepared to attack each other. Oritel with Valtor, and Marion with Bloom.

"Valtor, you have no reason to fight us, this between me and my daughter, and what the hell were you thinking when you were kissing her." Oritel said, ready to fight Valtor.

"I may have no reason to fight you but I want to say one thing to you is that 'I'm in love with your daughter'." Valtor said and quoted it to Oritel, to annoy him.

"What?! How could you be in love with my daughter? She's way too young for you and you're far to old for her." Oritel exclaimed.

"I know, but so what? She told me you want to kill her. So why do you sound angry if I'm in love with her even if I'm a bit old for her? She loves me back. She told me and then why do you think she kissed me and wanted me to wrap my hands around her and pull her closer to me." Valtor said, and this burned Oritel's heart. He knew it would. Would any father allow a daughter to fall in love with a man who's twice her age and also an enemy to her parents? No, they wouldn't.

"No…she couldn't be in love with you it's nearly impossible!" Oritel said, in an utterly shocked tone, he was in disbelief once Valtor said he's in love with her and she's in love with him that's the reason why she kissed him in the first place.

...

"What the hell were you thinking Bloom, kissing Valtor?" Marion said throwing fireballs at Bloom.

"What do you care if I was kissing him?" Bloom replied back to Marion, shielding herself from the blasts of fireballs, which were heading towards her direction.

"Because he's an evil man Bloom and what do you know about love? Aren't you in love and engaged to another man that I don't even know about?" Marion said and this stopped Bloom on her tracks.

"Sky..." She said.

"Who's Sky? Oh, wait you mean the man that you're engaged too?" Marion asked.

"Ya, why do you care?" Bloom yelled back, dodging more fireballs.

"It seems to me that you're bothered that I kissed him." Bloom said with a grin on her face, without any warning Bloom was hit by Marion's powerful spell. Bloom was tossed to the floor hurt. Marion walked up to Bloom her fists burning with fire-balls as if it was time to end this. Bloom knew it was too late. She was going to be killed by her own flesh blood mother. Bloom shielded herself with her arms, her eyes closed, afraid for worse to come.

Marion looked at her with anger in her eyes she raised her hand to finish the job. Then a tear trickled down her cheeks. Memories of infant Bloom flew right through her mind. But still she had to do this, even though if it hurts her a lot. A tear somehow was escaping her eyes. All the times she had with infant Bloom was making it harder and harder on her. She simply couldn't do it.

Suddenly, Marion and Bloom heard a female voice yelling at them as if to stop what they were doing without her yelling they both probably could've murdered each other in their own flesh blood.

"Marion stop, this isn't you!" Once Marion turned around and Bloom got up from her feet, and to see the person who was calling out to them. They were both shocked to see this person and especially Marion it was Maya.

"Maya." Marion said in complete shock. She headed towards them, and looked at the both of them with a disappointment look on her face and she spoke up to Marion. "You have disappointed me Marion. I heard what happened from your daughter unless you don't want me to call her your daughter anymore." Marion looked at Bloom with a glare: "You told her."

"Yes, I did. I hope it doesn't bother you." Bloom replied coldly, with a glare. Getting up from the ground.

"Why?" Marion asked angrily. "Because I was hurt. I need someone to help me overcome this hurt feeling..."

"You know something Marion, when Bloom told me her side of the story I was completely shock and in disbelief. That wasn't you. I hardly pictured that could be you. What happened Marion? I mean you're her mother, and she's your daughter doesn't it mean anything to you." Maya said.

Marion was in silence. Once Mia said that tears were forming in her eyes but she wants to be strong and tries not letting the words affect her but it did affect her in a way. A tear was trying to escape her eyes, and Mia noticed it. She knew Marion would be. Any mother would be whether was it a son or daughter.

"No matter what happened in the past is the past. You can't blame it all on her, and you know that in your heart. Now, why don't you come with me?" She asked both women, and they agreed to come with her.

...

Back in Maya's cave...

Marion and Bloom sat across each other giving death glares at one another, while Maya was pouring them tea.

"I can't believe you told her of our problems..." Marion said, looking at Bloom. "Still can't believe you're still complaining about that. You said you don't want anything to do with me. You hurt me, and I needed someone to comfort me." Bloom snapped. Marion looked at her. She had seen the hurt on her face but faded after a minute or two.

"Girls. Stop arguing. It isn't good for the both of you." Maya said walking to them and setting the tea on the ground, and each one grabbing a cup to drink.

"Look. I know what's the problem and let me help you." Maya said taking a sip from her cup. She turned to face Marion. "Marion I believe that those things you said to Bloom aren't true."

"Aren't true?! But it is to me!" Bloom said, with a hurt look on her face, Marion noticed it.

"Look, Bloom. I know what she said. But I know she never meant to say it." Maya said in calm voice, which made Bloom more comfortable. Marion knew what she said to Bloom isn't true not at all, but her anger blinded her in saying that and what happened to Daphne also hit her in saying those kinds of words.

"Bloom, didn't you say words that hurt me as well?" Marion said defensively.

"What do you mean? I didn't say anything." Bloom said, hardening her eyes on Marion.

"Yes, you did Bloom. It hurt more then what I said to you." Marion said.

"Really!" Both of them are starting a catfight, and would only end ugly.

" 'You should've give them what they want. Maybe it was for the best! You should've given me up to them.' So you think me and your father would give you up to them. You think it didn't hurt me, Bloom. Well...it did Bloom so much when you said that. Giving you up to the ancestral witches, is the worst thing ever to do I mean the worst mistake; your father and I would never do that. We're not bad people Bloom. You're acting as if we're bad parents, but we aren't. If we gave you up, you think we would be happy Bloom. I would be devastated to lose you. The ancestral witches would kill you; you would've been dead Bloom. You wouldn't even be alive, you're our daughter Bloom and we wouldn't want to see you dead nor your sister I would never accept that ever. Its the fear that I have the most a mother seeing her child dead. You don't know the pain of a mother seeing her child dead it is a nightmare to her that would last forever." Marion said with tears streaming down her face wishing she never said all those. She noticed Bloom was silent with tears running down her cheeks.

"I'm so sorry..." Bloom mumbled. Maya watching the scene unfold between a mother and a daughter, whose emotions were both stirring up in a conflicted way? Feelings hurt and letting all this anger go. Feeling sorrow. It was hard to let all these emotion run out what you're really feeling in the moment. Marion hearing what Bloom said she could feel her sadness in her tone. She looked to her to see her face in tears; she knew the truth would in the end hurt both of them. Maya knew Marion's emotions after the war on Domino how she would feel. Marion wants to pull her daughter into a long lasting hug; she slowly got up and sat next to Bloom, who faced her mother. Marion touched her daughter's hair and slowly run through it, and then unexpectedly pulled her into a hug, and cried till her eyes couldn't drop a single tear.

"...I'm so sorry Bloom...I didn't mean to say those things either Bloom...I don't know what was I thinking...I was just angry..." she shook in tears. Bloom hugged Marion tightly and as well crying as if they were forgiving each other. Then after a few minutes they both stood up. Mia knew they both would forgive each other in time, and smiled.

...

Oritel and Valtor were still in a fight. Valtor wanted to do something to Oritel in revenge to turn Bloom into an infant. He knew where she would be because he can sense her essence from the Dragon's Flame. She was in a cave not to far from here. He kept on rushing till he get there, followed by Oritel.

He prepared his spell to cast on Bloom. Once he made it, he saw Bloom all alone and he knew it was Bloom from the sight of her blue eyes, which made a different from her mother. So with that he threw the spell at Bloom. Now, he was running in the cave calling out to his wife, "Marion are you here?"

Oritel stumbled across a redheaded baby crying for attention. He panicked. He thought it was his wife that turned into a baby. The baby was no more than a year old child. He noticed the child's eyes it was blue and the baby was Bloom. It was his daughter crying for attention. He didn't know whether to walk away from her or carry her, but it pained him to leave her like that crying.

"Oritel...you're here?" Marion said, once Oritel turned around to see his wife, Marion. She gasped, "Oritel is...is that Bloom?" She asked shocked. How on Magix's did she turn into a baby?

"It's Valtor. He did this to Bloom." Oritel answered back with bit sadness in his tone. Marion approached Oritel and she gazed at the baby. At this she stopped crying and looked at Marion putting her small arms out to her. Marion looked at Oritel and said: "Look at that she wants me to carry her Oritel."

"What? No I'm carrying her whether you like it or not." Oritel said clutching his daughter tightly to him. Bloom started crying.

"Look, Oritel. You made her cry. I know you want to carry her so much but she wants me for now." Marion said and Oritel sighed he looked at his daughter, and gave her to her mother, who stopped crying in her arms.

"How did she stop crying?" Oritel asked in shocked.

"Oritel mothers knows how to calm a baby, a father not so much..." Marion said mocking Oritel.

Marion easily cooed the child, she had a smile on her face and Oritel noticed that. He wondered if Marion wanted another child. It made her happy, and it made him happy too. He carefully put his hand on her back gently and walked in the cave to talk to Maya about Bloom's situation.

Though he didn't want Bloom to become an adult yet. He wanted to spend time with baby Bloom because he lost all those years of not raising her and being there for her. He wanted to there for her now along with Marion to treasure those memories they have of her now.

...

"So how can we change her back?" Marion asked with bit sadness in her tone, looking at her daughter in her arms who was giggling to her. Marion gave her a big smile she wished the attack never happened on Domino she and Oritel could've raised their beloved child. Maya and Oritel kept on looking at Marion who's playing with Bloom. Marion had a wide smile on her face was so wide which made Oritel's heart grow wider and have some love for Bloom who was making her mother very happy. Oritel never saw his wife this happy before. It's been years ever since she last gave birth to Bloom.

"Well...Marion it's hard to say." Maya said.

"What do you mean?" Marion asked with confusion tickling her daughter's chin, causing her to giggle.

"Marion. Right now, you're attached to your daughter so much and the spell won't break if you won't accept what Bloom is now, an eighteen-year-old girl. Right now, you're accepting her as a baby girl that sadly...you lost many years ago." Maya said.

Marion looked at her and said nothing but allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks freely. Oritel approached Marion and sat down next to her, he gently caressed her cheeks and said in a low voice, "do you want to have another baby?"

"Oritel, thank-you for trying to help, but I can't have another child. Another child cannot just replace Bloom's lost years Oritel, and you know that." Marion said with a weak smile, both looking at the baby in Marion's arm, they smiled to the child. As long as they were doing that, getting so attached to Bloom, she will never be her old self again. Oritel knew that Marion was right; another child simply cannot ease their pain of not being there for Bloom. They both knew they must go back to Earth and try to fix this. Oritel and Marion needed to know whose Bloom's friends so they can explain what happened to her and hopefully believe them about what happened to showed Oritel and Marion whose Bloom's friends are, they were still trying to look for Bloom.

...

Oritel was next to Marion. The baby had fallen asleep on Marion's shoulder and they were now heading out the cave going back to Earth. They know they must break the spell off of Bloom so she can turn back to normal. This was going to be hard for the both of them, especially since Marion has gotten really attached to her baby girl. It wasn't going to be easy for them; they wish they just could raise her. By the time they came back to Earth it was already night time. They were walking back home tiredly from the long and exhausted day.

...

The next morning, Marion was soo tried that she slept in. It wasn't usual for Marion to sleep in usually her husband sleeps in. Once she opened one of her eye to see Bloom, and once she didn't see her she completely panicked.

She didn't see her husband either, where were they? She immediately got out of bed and noticed that the balcony door of their bedroom was opened. Oritel was probably out there sitting with Bloom in his arms. She walked to balcony to see Oritel feeding Bloom. She gave a small smile and approached him slowly. He heard her footsteps and turned around to see her fully awake, "good morning my love."

"Good morning, since when were you awake?" she asked, and sat by him.

"Not so long ago. Probably an hour..." Oritel answered, patting Bloom's back. Marion gently rested her head on his shoulder, "it seems to me you've enjoyed your morning." He looked at her with a smile, "indeed I did, but my love shouldn't we go and find Bloom's friend and explain to them what happened to Bloom."

"But, I don't want them to separate me from my daughter." Marion said a sigh; Oritel caught her hint of expression, "my love they won't separate you from her ever. I know Marion what you're feeling right now. Everything is going to be fine you'll see." He leaned his arm in and pulled her to him. "But they do deserve the truth Marion, and the blond boy too."

"I know..." she mumbled, leaning closer to him. "It's just that I want to spend time with Bloom, we only had her for a month and that wasn't enough time to spend with her. Every single night I cry for the loss of our daughters (before she even knew Bloom was even alive and in Italy), it wasn't fair to us to lose everything we loved and owned," Oritel felt so sorry for her to lose everything like that it was painful for them.

He wished he could've been there he even hadn't spend enough time with Daphne. Why was life so cruel to them? Then they heard a soft whimper, which snapped them out of their thoughts. Bloom was crying. Marion carried Bloom in her arms and rocked her gently and she stopped crying. She knew Oritel was right, at the same time she knew he was hurting too.

...

It was already mid-afternoon; Marion and Oritel were out searching for Bloom's friends. Oritel was pushing the stroller. Bloom was already asleep again. They have no idea how they're going introduce themselves to Bloom's friends and the better question is: How will they believe them? They were walking down beach; the weather was just perfect today and a little breeze.

"This is going to be a lot harder than I thought-" but Oritel cut her off.

"Look, I see them Marion, they're over there probably still figuring out a way to find her." Oritel said, recognizing them from their looks that Maya showed them yesterday.

"They seem to really care about her. I...I don't know if I can do this." Marion said and stopped at this. Oritel stopped and he looked at her and said: "I know sweetheart it hurts to this but we have too."

"I just only wish there was more time..." Marion said, and she gave him a soft expression. They were approaching the Winx slowly. Marion's heart was beating heavily in her chest. She didn't wanted to do this but Oritel was insist on doing it. It's the right thing after all.

The Winx saw two couples with a stroller heading toward their direction; maybe they wanted something from them. Oritel and Marion introduced them to the Winx and explained to them who they are. The Winx were in complete and total shock, how could this happen? Was this the reason Bloom disappeared because she knew where her birthparents were and she wanted to find them on her own? There were so many questions in the Winx's mind. They wondered if her birthparents were here talking to them, then where is Bloom? They were going to find out.

"...So you're her parents...?" Sky said in a dumbfounded way. It was too hard to believe in that they were actually her parents. Sky then realized that Bloom took her looks from her mother more than her father, but it seems to him the way her father was talking to her mother Bloom inherited a few things from him as well.

"Where's Bloom?" Stella asked, breaking the shocked silence.

"That's what we're here to talk to you about." Her father said in a serious tone.

"Oh, no! Did she go missing again?" Flora said worriedly, her friend just disappeared again seriously where is this girl disappearing too?

"Actually, she didn't disappear." Marion said.

"What do you mean?" Tecna asked.

"We had an old enemy. He's a powerful sourer named Valtor. He's a wicked creature. We imprisoned him the Omega Dimension, because he's the one who destroyed Domino along with the ancestral witches. Once when we did that he vowed to take revenge on us, and he did, well not us exactly...on Bloom." Oritel said, and they showed them Bloom. Sky was shocked to see his fiancée as a baby, the Winx were all shocked too, and not a word was said it was so quite.

"Is there a way we can change her back?" Aisha asked.

"Maybe, but we sill haven't figured out a way." Marion said with a lie, in truth she doesn't want to change Bloom back she wanted to be with her, but she knows it's not possible.

"-And we wanted you're help." Oritel said, and everyone was staring at his sleeping daughter in the stroller. He knew it would be hard for them to-comprehend what just happened to Bloom.

"Well...don't we have to tell Mike and Vanessa about this?" Stella whispered to Flora in the ear, and she nodded. "Of course Stella, they have to know who raised their daughter."

"Hum...do you want to meet Bloom's adoptive parents? They've been really worried about her. They would also be very pleased to meet you." Tecna said.

...

Oritel and Marion were a bit nervous about meeting Bloom's adoptive parents. It felt so strange to meet the two people who raised their youngest daughter and gave her love. Stella called Mike and Vanessa and informed them all about what happened to Bloom and who she'd met along her way. They were astonished for what Bloom did, and they're pleased to meet her birthparents after all. Oritel grabbed Marion's and squeezed if for comfort, she looked at him, and she sighed.

"What's wrong, my love?" Oritel asked sensing his wife's worry.

"What if…they want her?" Marion said, looking at him with a worry look, Oritel hadn't even thought about that, and that made him quite.

"We'll talk to them Marion. They'll understand us." Oritel said with confident.

"How?" Marion asked.

"Trust me." Oritel said, and she trusted him.

...

Mike and Vanessa were waiting for the winx and Bloom's birthparents to show up. They were sitting on the bench in the national park. Vanessa was a bit worried about meeting them, she wondered where did Bloom exactly find them...or could it be another way they found her. How were they alive after the last battle they ever had that Bloom mention? This disappearance leads to a mystery. She didn't know how it would feel like meeting her actual parents. Was it shocking for Bloom? Mike was a bit off about this whole situation thing, but he had to get used to this. Nothing was a bit normal ever since Bloom discovered that she was a fairy and who she was truly. He knew it would get crazy sometimes about this whole magical universe issue...

"Vanessa are you worried about meeting them?" Mike asked with a bit of worry in his tone.

"Yes, Mike I am worried. What if they don't like us?" Vanessa asked.

"What makes you say that?" Mike asked.

"Because they're her natural parents and it makes me worried about how they would feel about us." Vanessa said in a high-pitched voice.

"They won't I have a bit of feeling about that." Mike said pulling her into his arms for comfort. Then they saw the winx walking along with two other people a man and a woman following the winx and now they were assuming they are Bloom's birthparents. Mike and Vanessa got up to greet the two people.

"Hello, Mike, Vanessa." Stella said cheerfully.

"Hello, Stella. It's good to see you again." They both replied.

"We have two people who wants to meet you." Aisha said.

"Mike, Vanessa meet Oritel and Marion Bloom's birthparents." Flora said. Mike and Vanessa greeted Oritel and Marion. Now they were both wondering where is Bloom? She should be here along with them. Something else seems off about her, and why wasn't she here to finally meet her birthparents?

"So where's Bloom?" Vanessa asked, still wondering where Bloom could be, she wondered did she find her birthparents or what? She should official meet them, since it was her goal from three years ago, and she would be the happiest girl...

"About that..." Stella said nervously, wondering if she should point out to the stroller or not. Mike and Vanessa looked at Stella for an answer. Stella pointed out to the stroller and said nothing; she has no idea how will they react to this...

~In the next chapter, Mike and Vanessa will be utterly shocked to see Bloom as an infant again, and they would begin to talk to Oritel and Marion about Bloom, about everything, who she is and how she became to be. Realizing after all what Mike and Vanessa said about Bloom, Oritel and Marion felt their guilt running through them, and they promised to themselves they'll never do that again, seeing Bloom how special she is too everyone she loved and cared about. It was time for the to do the same thing be there for her, since they haven't been their for her first part of her life.

~The winx will help them reverse the spell on Bloom to be herself again, but yet there was a catch to it. Marion had to accept of what Bloom is now, an eighteen-year-old girl. How can she do that? Losing a baby without raising her was hard enough, but seeing her as an infant again made it even worse. How can she possible let go of the baby she has now?

~The winx, Mike, Vanessa, and Oritel will try and help Marion get over this, and reverse the spell on Bloom. Will Marion be convinced of accepting Bloom of what she is now, or not?

~Okay how can anyone not resist a cute baby... :-).

~Have a nice day, hoped you enjoyed this chapter, I had another original plan for this chapter, but it didn't really work out for the rest of the story it would only end things fast, and I don't know how it would actually lead too...but this chapter was suited out perfectly well for rest of the upcoming chapters...and how it would lead too in the end.

~Sometimes people make mistakes, and not be able to forgive them for what they had done. But spending time and realizing what mistake you have made, and in time to learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others. No one can truly stay mad forever...but need time to forgive...
