"I hope we aren't too late," said Morgana, as the team of fairies landed in the Lily Garden Albergo.

"We should act fast," said Bloom. "Tecna, can you pinpoint the exact location of the ceneri della finestra di drago?"

"Yes," said Tecna, and she began tapping away on her little computer. "Got it!" she exclaimed! "The ceneri della finestra di drago is located in the main dining hall."

"Why would it be located in such a busy area?" Roxy asked.

"Because people on Earth are not aware of the magical power this box holds," Tecna said, with a voice that made it seem like it was obvious. "To them it's just another gold box."

"Roxy, this is no time for questions," Musa said in a criticizing voice. "We have to save the box."

Roxy shuffled uncomfortably at the tone of Musa's voice. Once again, she felt the same feeling. Not belonging. However, she quickly shook the feeling away. This was a mission and she needed to concentrate.

By the time Roxy regained her full concentration, the other fairies had flown off without her. Roxy sighed and took to the air, flying as fast as she could to try and keep up with the others.

--

Musa looked behind her as she flew. Yep, she could see a fairy with fuchsia hair and a green outfit flying fast to catch up in the distance. Musa sighed in disgust. Roxy. According to Bloom, she was the newest addition to the Winx. In Musa's mind that was a BIG joke. Roxy couldn't handle her powers! She was just a kid. She would be the girl who'd make the Winx fail.

"Musa! Wait for me!" she heard Roxy call. Musa ignored her and continued flying. She wasn't about to wait for Roxy.

--

Roxy sighed. Why was Musa ignoring her? She knew Musa heard her. Maybe Musa just didn't accept her as part of the group, she thought. Looking up, Roxy noticed that the Winx had flown much further.

"I'm going to show them that I can fly as fast as any of them," Roxy said in a determined voice. She streamlined her body and put her arms in front of her. Then she summoned up all her energy and pushed forward. In a matter of minutes, she had caught up with Bloom, who was just behind Morgana.

"Hey Roxy, you caught up fast!" she said. "Great flying!"

Roxy smiled at the compliment but decided to question Bloom as to why they had gone without her.

"Why did you leave without me?" she asked.

Bloom sighed.

"Roxy, we had to get to the main dining hall as fast as possible. We can't let the attackers get hold of the box or riddle. It's too important."

Roxy nodded. Now she understood.

"Are you sure you want to fight with us?" Bloom asked.

"Yes," Roxy said nodding. "I can't miss this."

"Very well then," Bloom said grimly. "But you should not fail."

Roxy felt uncomfortable and flew up ahead, to catch up with Morgana.

--

The main dining hall was quiet as the Winx and Morgana flew in.

"Where is the box?" Layla asked, looking around the room.

"There," Morgana pointed at a small, golden box. It was beautifully made. Bloom gasped.

"It's so beautiful," she said. "It could have only been made out of the great dragon's ashes."

Suddenly the room began to vibrate.

"Someone is coming through the walls!" Morgana said.

The Winx looked around. There was no place to hide.

"In here!" Stella said. With her scepter, she had conjured up a hiding place where they could see out and hear what was going on outside, but nobody could see in or hear what was going on inside. The Winx and Morgana quickly ran inside. Roxy made it in last and Stella managed to make the hiding place invisible just before a portal opened up in the wall and a witch glided out.

This witch had long white hair tied up in a ponytail and was dressed in blue.

"Icy," Bloom whispered.

"Are you there sisters?" Icy said. "You may appear!"

Two more portals appeared in the wall and out glided the other members of the Trix. Darcy and Stormy.

"Our distractions have worked very well," said Icy, her wicked eyes flickering. "The security guards are outside, marveling at the blood-red sky and powerful thunder and lightning. The ceneri della finestra di drago is ours!"

"Why are we stealing a BOX!?" asked Stormy sounding bored.

"This is no ordinary box Stormy," said Icy, in a tone that made Stormy uncomfortable. Darcy glared at Stormy.

For a moment, Roxy felt as if she could identify with Stormy. She was obviously feeling like she didn't belong, just like Roxy herself felt sometimes. Suddenly, Icy's voice cut through Roxy's train of thought.

"This box contains some of the power of the Dragon's Flame. If we have this box and consume the drink that lies inside it, that power will be inside us!"

"They obviously don't know about the riddle," whispered Stella.

Suddenly, Icy turned around.

"I sense a presence!" she said. "Who is here? Reveal yourself!"

Roxy shrank back while the other Winx stayed calm.

"I told you to reveal yourself!" Icy shouted. "Reveal yourself, or I shall seek you out myself and torture you until you die."

Roxy whimpered quietly. The Winx were discussing something.

"Reveal yourself Roxy," Tecna urged.

"WHAT!?" Roxy said. "Are you crazy? I can't reveal myself."

"Last chance," Icy taunted.

"Come on Roxy, we'll reveal ourselves too but we can't do that unless you reveal yourself! You are in front and are blocking us from going out!" Bloom said.

"No," Roxy said quietly. "I'm…I'm too scared."

"What a wimp," Musa muttered under her breath. Roxy heard and felt tears pricking at her eyes. She just couldn't do it. Why couldn't they understand?

"Alright that's it!" Icy said. "I'm going to find you myself! And if I get my way, I'll kill you too!"

Roxy felt all the Winx's eyes on her and immediately felt guilty.

"You failed Roxy," Musa said.

They were all going to die because of her.


Phew! Well, that was a long chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed it! I'm going to work on Chapter 7 later and with any luck I'll have it up today.

For Musa fans, I'm really sorry about how mean she is in this FanFiction. I picked a name from a hat on who'll be the mean Winx in this story and Musa's name came out.

Please rate and review :D
