Hey guys, I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I'm having a ton of fun sharing it with you. And I'm sorry I didn't really go into much detail with this one, but don't worry. More details are added in as the series progresses. Like I said, this one only sets the stage, it's not my greatest work ever. But it's okay, things get better, and more interesting.

All right, let's recap: the girls and guys are at the lake, Flora collapses and has a vision of something that's going to happen to the girl's, because of the witches. And now, Icy has gotten into her room, and done something to her. And yes, in this one, the witches are working by themselves. But in the others, they aren't. There's some guy, and in some instances girl, helping them, but they don't fall madly in love with any of them like they do Baltor. They just go along with the plans as best they can.

Chapter 7: Kidnapped Fairies

All eleven of them dashed back to the girl's rooms, Bloom and Helia in the lead. Helia was scared stiff, if those witches had done anything to Flora, he didn't know what he would do. All he knew was he had to get to her before it was too late.

"Hurry!" he yelled to the rest of the group. They couldn't linger, they had to move quickly if there was any hope of saving Flora.

But when they got there, they found the room empty, Flora's bed torn apart and a note on top of the sheets. Layla walked forward, took the note and read it to the others.

Don't try looking for your pixie friend. She's in a place none of

you will ever find. If you look for her, it'll just make things

worse for her.

Signed Icy, Darcy and Stormy

Layla looked up from the note, fear written all over her face. "Now what do we do?" she asked them.

"I say the first thing we should do is tell Ms. Faragonda," said Tecna.

"And after that?" asked Stella.

"Find a way to track Flora's Winx," said Tecna. "Those witches always underestimate the kinds of things we can do."

"Well, we have to do something, we can't just stand here while Flora's in danger," said Musa. A moment later, she turned her head towards the window. "Did anyone else hear that?"

"Hear what?" asked Riven.

"I heard something, but I'm not sure what it was," said Musa. She walked to the window and stood out on the balcony, looking for the source of the noise she'd heard. She had heard it before 

but she couldn't remember where she had last heard it. She had a feeling that it meant danger and she wanted to know what had made it, so she could warn her friends about it.

"Well come on!" said Helia. "We have to do something to find Flora."

"But you heard what that note said," said Brandon. "If we try to find her, there's no telling what the witches will do to her."

"But on the other hand, there's no telling what the witches are doing to her now!" argued Helia.

"I have to agree with Brandon," said Timmy. "We have to find a way to look for Flora without the witches finding out."

"The witches are too clever, they'll find out," said Sky.

"I'm not going to just wait around!" said Helia. "We have to do something!"

"Hey Layla, look," said Jason getting everyone's attention. "There's more on the other side of that note."

Layla turned the note over, read for a minute and gasped. "Musa!" she yelled to the music fairy, still out on the balcony. "Get back in here, now!"

"What's wrong?" Musa called back. But then, the music fairy remembered where she'd last heard that sound. It was in the Resort Realm, right before the witches appeared and attacked. At that very second, Stormy appeared beside her and grabbed her around the waist. Musa screamed as she was jerked off the balcony, unable to transform and fight back

.

"Musa!" yelled Riven as he ran out on the balcony. But she was nowhere in sight. He walked back into the room, hardly daring to believe it. Rage was coursing through him, rage worse than he felt when Lord Darkar had almost hurt his girl. If those witches dared hurt her, no spell would be able to save them from him.

"Layla, what did the rest of the note say?" asked Bloom.

Layla started reading it aloud:

Be warned pixies. The rest of you are next.

"Flora's vision was right," said Layla. "The witches are after us."

"Got that right," came Darcy's voice out of nowhere.

"Where are you Darcy?" asked Bloom. "And where are Musa and Flora?"



"Come out and face us," said Riven, pulling out his sword and holding it at the ready.

"Fine," said Darcy. As quick as lightning, Darcy appeared right behind Stella. She grabbed the sun fairy and pulled her through a portal. Stella tried to transform, but it was like some kind of spell was on her, which there probably was. She couldn't power up, no matter how hard she concentrated her energies. And Darcy was moving too quickly for anyone else to react.

"Stella!" yelled Brandon, running forward. But they were gone before he got close. He reached the portal just one second after it closed, and he fell to his knees in defeat, trying to hold back the anger tearing through his veins.

"What now?" asked Jason.

"Now we go to Ms. Faragonda," said Layla. The boys walked the girls to the head-mistress' office, staying as close to the girls as they could, determined not to let a single witch near them. But they needn't have bothered. The witches weren't going to go near Ms. Faragonda's office, not without some major power source, such as the Gloomix talismans that Darkar had given them. The headmistress invited them in, and listened intently as they told her what had happened.

"I want you girls and you boys to do everything you can to find Stella, Flora and Musa," said Ms. Faragonda, after they had finished. "They're in more danger than you realize. You all are." It was then she realized she'd said too much.

"What's going on Ms. Faragonda?" asked Bloom.

"Nothing girls, just go and look for the rest of your friends," said the headmistress.

"You're hiding something," said Tecna. "What is it?"

Knowing that they weren't going to give up until she told them, Ms. Faragonda gave a defeated sigh and said, "sit down everyone. This will take some time to explain."

So, three fairies down, three to go. Now we know that something more is going on than the girl's realize. But you won't figure out exactly what is going on until the next chapter. Sorry, I have to throw some suspense in there.

Oh, one more thing, Chibi Horsewoman, I already wrote the fanfic about Musa, and I didn't make her a princess, but do you have any objection with me making Flora a princess. They don't actually announce it in the show, but I've gotten so far in the series that she has to be a princess. That's the only that works and it's too late to change that now. Sorry.

But please keep reading and reviewing. Thank you guys for commenting, it means a lot to me.
