For our date, Daniel to me to this really nice place called The Crystal Rose. It had a nice ring to it. We were led to a nice booth as soon as we arrived.

"So how was your day?" I asked him. I tried asking questions so that I wasn't distracted by how good he looked.

"It was good. I had Dragon Wrestling, then Fightercraft class, a free study period and then Combat class the seniors. However I think I got on the wrong foot with Riven."

"Why what happened?"

"I was leaving class and then he came up to me, threatening to kill me if I…well if I ever hurt you." I choked on my water, spraying it back into the cup. He did what?!

"He actually said that to you. I'm so sorry about that. I'll talk to Musa. Why would he think that you would hurt me? You have no intention of doing so do you?"

"Of course not! Why would I hurt the girl I like? It would ruin any chance of impressing you." I smiled, trying to hide my blush. A waiter walked up to us and ordered our meals. I asked for the Beef Bourguignon and Daniel ordered a Lamb Chops with Pesto. The rest of the evening was wonderful. We had so much in common. Sports, reading, movies, etc. I was myself with him. It wasn't that I had a split personality; I was just sharing things with him that I hadn't even shared with Lucy or Elle. It was just so easy to converse with him. Unfortunately, the night came to an end and he dropped me off at Alfea's gates.

"So can I see you again?"

"Of course. I had a great time." I smiled and he blushed lightly. It was dark out, but I could still see it.

"Goodnight Daniel" I was debating whether or not if I should kiss him on the cheek, when he leant in and covered my lips with his. The kiss was sweet and gentle; at least I thought it was. I had never kissed a guy before. He pulled away, said goodnight and left. I stood there gazing after him as he left. Once he was out of sight, I headed back to my room. It was late at night and I was actually quite tired.


"Marion! Quick get Raquelle out of here! I hold them off. Go! Now!" I watched the man scream at the women. She had a little baby in her arms and ran. Was he talking about her? The sky was dark, as if a bad storm was brewing. Marion ran past room after room searching for something, or someone. She halted at a dead end of the castle, pressing her palm into the wall. Raquelle watched as the wall melted away to reveal a hidden escape pod. Marion placed the baby in the pod and kissed her forehead.

"Be safe, my little darling. We'll be together again soon." She closed the door and set the pod. In seconds it flew away.

I jolted wide awake. It was the dream only, it wasn't. It showed more. Was this a childhood memory that she was trying to remember?

"Raquelle, are you okay?" Roxy asked. She looked worried.

"Just a bad dream. I'll be fine. Goodnight Roxy." I fell back asleep, hoping for a better dream. I was asleep for what seemed awhile until I woke up again. Why couldn't I get to sleep?

"Raquelle" I looked around searching for the voice. All I found was darkness.

"Raquelle, you need to find the book of Lost Royals. You will find what you are looking for."

Again, I looked but saw nothing. Was I going insane? I lied back down on the bed. Maybe it was all just a dream. I fell back asleep, not waking again until morning.


Roxy and I made our way over to where the Winx were sitting for breakfast. I sat down next Layla and Flora, while Roxy sat next to Bloom. When I looked at her, I couldn't help think of my dream. I also thought about the voices in my head.

"Hey Elle, you in there? Earth to Elle" I look up at Stella, disrupting my thoughts.

"What were you thinking so hard about? If it's the test for Palladium's class about Wastelands, you have nothing to worry about? It's easy."

"Stella, you nearly failed that test." Musa added.

"Almost, but I still passed." I watched the two girls argue. The test was actually the last thing on my mind. It really shouldn't have been but, I was too obsessed about that dream. I finished my breakfast and headed to the library. The voice said to search for a book on Lost Royals so I would. I had been here for two weeks but I still had trouble finding everything. Finally with the help of a passing fairy, I made it to the library. I looked around in the 'L' section for Lost Royals but I didn't find anything. I left disappointed and headed back to my room however I instantly got bored so I left. During my walk, I came across Bloom. She wasn't with her pack of friends.

"Hey Raquelle." She held a few books in her hand.

"Hey Bloom." I muttered.

"You were quite distant this morning. Is everything alright?" I wondered if I should tell her. She did know about Sparks which is where I supposedly came from. I decided I would. She could help me.

"I just had this really weird dream last night. One that I've been having for a few years. Miss Faragonda thinks that it could be a childhood memory." I took a deep breath before I continued.

"It starts off with two adults, a man and women playing with this baby, but then the sky goes really dark and the baby is sent away in an escape pod. I just don't understand it and I really want to, because it can help me find out more about who I am. Who my parents are? Does that make sense in a way?" She looked at me distantly before answering.

"I don't know. I'm sure that it's a memory or something. I had the same problem when I first arrived." We remained silent for a moment which became really awkward so I quickly changed the topic.

"Are you heading to the library to return those?" She looked down at her books then at me.

"Yeah I am, but" She looked around as if she thought someone might be spying on us.

"You have to keep this a secret but I didn't get these from the library. I got them from the secret archive. Come with me." She walked on and I followed her. We stop at a black wall in the hallway. I didn't know what she was on about but then she pressed her hand to the wall and it fell open. Just like in my dream. Inside, was a large room filled with many books. I dropped my jaw in amazement.

"This is the secret archive. Students aren't supposed to know about unless they can find it. I came across it in my first year. You can browse if you want" She walked over a star platform and stood on it, which rose high in the air.

"Oh, a new student!?" I turned around to see a pixie floating behind me.

"Welcome dear to the Archive. Only those who find this place may use it. Keep in mind what you are looking for dear, hop onto the stars and it will take you there. Whether you find it or not, is up to you though. If you need anything, just ask." She flittered off towards a shelf of books. Maybe I could find the Lost Royals book here. Cautiously I stood onto the star platform and held the book in my mind. Instantly I was rising. Finally the star stopped and in front of me, I saw heaps of books on royalty. It would take me forever to look through them all. I pulled each one out and put it back regretfully. How was I supposed to find this book?

"What you are looking for may not be in the most obvious place, dear." I jumped at the sound of the pixie next to me. She smiled at me and zoomed away again. What's the point of finding something if you have to search the entire library for it? I watched Bloom move around and grabbing books before moving away again. She made it look so easy. Find your book and leave.

"So you found anything interesting yet?" Bloom called out to me. She was only a few metres to the left of me.

"No, how do you find anything in here? Nothing seems to be where they should." Bloom laughed and smiled at me.

"That's because the school doesn't want hidden things in plain sight. For instance, a book on battle strategies isn't going to be in that category. You have to think outside the box, so to say." I thought about her words and what the pixie librarian said to me. Not the most obvious place. Bloom smiled and moved away. Okay, where would a book on Lost Royals be? It clearly wasn't in Royalty so I had to focus harder. How else would you explain Lost? I held the word missing in my mind and the star moved but I still had no luck. I had to dig deeper. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking of them missing, but why they were missing? The star moved again and brought me back down to the ground over to the furthest right corner. I found on book on all the greatest accidents and disasters that had occurred, so I must be close. I pulled book out of the shelf until I found a dusty book at the back. Blowing the dust away, I recognised it as the book I was looking for. I turned the front cover to see a page on Aetolia. It showed a family tree of the Royal family. The Queen had been captured; the King lost at sea searching for his wife. A line connected to the king and queen ran down to show a princess. It stated that she was living with relatives in Melody. Flipping to the next page, I found another world starting with 'A'. The book was in alphabetical order so I scrolled through the pages until I came across Domino. It showed that the King and Queen had been killed during a raid by the Ancestral Witches. Or so people believe. As for their Children, It was also believed that Daphne was killed however the youngest Bloom was lost. Long forgotten by the world. She looked down at the family tree to see five names. King Oritel, Queen Marion, Princess Daphne, Princess Bloom and her. Princess Raquelle. Raquelle blinked her eyes to clear them, but when she looked down again there was only four names. She could have sworn that she had seen her name on the family tree. Looking around her to make sure no one was watching; she hid the book in her jacket.

"Ready to go?" Raquelle jumped at the voice behind. She had got to stop jumping every time she heard a voice. It made her look suspicious.

"Sorry about that. I do it to Flora as well. It's nearly time for lunch and I'm sure Stella will be dying to hear about your date with Daniel last night." We thanked the librarian and left the archive.


"You're serious! He kissed you on the first date! You two are definitely going to be a couple." Stella squealed, asking her question after question; however she excused herself to go to the toilet. Bloom had gone at the start of lunch and still hadn't returned. She wasn't surprised when she found no one there. Maybe she could ask Miss Faragonda where she was. As she made her way to Miss Faragonda's office, she went to open the door, but she stopped when she heard voices.

"I think something's wrong. Daphne contacted me in my dreams again, saying that I needed to find the book of Lost Royals again. I looked for it again this morning but it wasn't there."

"Bloom, I'm sure it's nothing. The book is there where it has always been. And it will say the same."

"I know, but that's not all. After Daphne contacted me, I dreamt about my parents. They were playing with a baby that wasn't me. And then the Witches attacked. I don't understand it. I've always had the dream of me being with Daphne before she took me away and sent me to safety." She was dreaming about me! She was having my dream. How was that possible? We couldn't be related? The book said that the King and Queen only had two daughters.

"Bloom, I cannot help you. There are things you don't understand."

"Are you saying that you know secrets about my family and you can't tell me?"

"Bloom, it was not for me to decide. You must figure this out on your own. I'm sorry that I cannot be of more help." Bloom sighed and headed for the door. I panicked as I had no place to hide. Maybe I could pull it off as just walking by. I made it past the door as it opened.

"Oh hey Raquelle, are you here to see Miss Faragonda too?" I turned to see Bloom standing in the doorway.

"No I've been looking for you. Everyone was worried so I searched for you."

"Yeah, I was coming back but then I decided to see Miss Faragonda about something."

"Oh, okay well we should head back then." We walked back to the Lunch Room to find fairies clearing out.

"Bloom, where have you been?" Stella asked hysterically.

"Just to see Miss Faragonda. No big deal."

"Ok well, Brandon called so we are all going to Red Fountain." She turned to me and grinned widely. "And you can see Daniel again."


When we arrived, I ditched the group to find Daniel only that didn't work out so well so I walked around campus and down to the lake. Knowing that I was completely alone, I pulled the book out once more and flipped to the page on Domino. There it was. The king, queen and their two missing daughters but no Raquelle. I sighed and went to put the book back, but it slipped out of my grasp and into the lake, sinking down to the bottom. I pondered over how I was going to get it, when the lake started to glow. Out of the water, a golden figure appeared before me and I tried not to scream. She held the book in her hands and it was completely dry.

"Raquelle. You found the book. Have you found out your history yet?" I recognised her voice yet I had never met her.

"Who are you?" I backed up the bank, away from the flowing woman. Maybe I could run for help.

"My name is Daphne. I am your sister and so is Bloom." She smiled at me and held out her arms.

"Daphne?" I turned around to find Bloom standing there traumatized.
