The next day, Stella woke up earlier than usual and went without saying a word. She still wanted to take revenge.
"I haven't seen her like this before." Bloom said.
"We should help her. I know that living without parents is difficult, but that doesn't mean she should take revenge," Musa said.
"We should talk to her again and try to convince her." Flora said. The girls all nodded. Suddenly Bloom's phone rang. She answered. It was Sky.
"Hey, Sky!" Bloom said.
"Hey, Bloom! " Sky replied. "We are coming to Alfea."
Bloom thought for a while and suddenly, a sly smile appeared on her face. "Ok, we are waiting," She said and put her phone on the table, taking Kicko in her hands.
"What are you smiling?" Aisha asked confused.
"Well, the boys are coming. "
"We know that, but what's wrong with you? We don't know. " Tecna said.
"Well, someone should stop walking around Jessica and think more of Stella, and I think he could change Stella's mind if we can't." She said.
"We got it!" They said with cheer. They ran out and saw a ship landing.
"Hey, girls!" The boys said. They all hugged.
"Hey, Brandon!" Jessica said and came up to him.
"Hey, Jess!"
"Hey, how are you doing?" She asked.
"Um.. ok."He was looking around. "Where's Stella?" he asked.
"Oh...maybe she's sleeping. "Jessica said.
"No, I'll go and call her." Bloom said and went.
Meanwhile, Stella was practicing. Lidia stood there, watching her.
Stella was doing some movements, but they were full of frustration. She hit a rock with a water jet and it collapsed.
'I hope she won't lose control of herself or else I don't want to imagine what will happen...' Lidia thought.
"Lidia, can yup teach me how to cut things up with water now?" Stella asked.
"Yes, but..."
"Ok, let's get started."
"Stella, please, control your emotions. Emotions are very important for controlling elements. If you continue like this you-"she was cut off by Stella.
"I know what I am doing! Just teach me!"
Lidia couldn't say anything. "You have to act quickly, swiftly, and clearly." Lidia explained and did a movement which cut a brunch.
Then, it was Stella's turn, but Bloom turned up.
"Hi, Stella!" She said.
"Hi."
"Um... can you come to Alfea now? The boys are there and Brandon wants to see you." She said.
"I have no time, I have to practice. "
"But Stella! Can you stop thinking about your revenge?!"
"No, I can't. It wasn't your parents that died in front of your eyes! It wasn't your realm that was destroyed! "Stella answered angrily, cutting through a rock.
"Now, go! I have to practice, you are distracting me.". Lidia saw this and tried to said something but Stella cut her off. "Let's go on!"
Bloom walked back. Flora saw her and came up to her.
"Where's Stella? " Flora asked.
Bloom shook her head.
"Maybe Brandon can change her mind?"
"I am not sure." Bloom said.
"Let's try." Flora said and they came up to Brandon who was flirting with Jessica.
" Brandon, can we have a talk? " Bloom asked.
" Sure Bloom! " They went to the place where Stella was practicing and during, that walk Bloom explained to him the situation.
"Don't worry, Bloom, I'll convince her," He said before leaving Bloom. He saw Stella practicing.
Lidia saw him. "Um...Stella you can take a break. "
"Why?" Stella asked.
"Hey Stella!" Stella looked back and saw Brandon approaching to her.
"Hi." Stella said, looking away.
"I think I should go." Lidia said and went, leaving Stella and Brandon alone.
They didn't speak for a while.
"So... how are you doing? " At last, Brandon broke the silence.
"Fine." Stella said without emotion. Again silence. "That was all?" Stella asked.
"Um...what?"
"If you're finished, you can go. I want to practice."
"But, Stella... I wanted to have a talk with you, to hang out with you."
"Well, I have no time." She said and turn away. "Besides, you have Jessica."
"But she's not my girlfriend, you are."
"I said I have no time. "
"You'll have some...if you stop thinking about your revenge..."
"What!?"
"...I know it's hard for you, but you shouldn't take revenge..."
"What!? How, can you say such things!" Stella began to yell at him. "And why I shouldn't take my revenge! "
"...Cause it will destroy you, it will destroy the Stella I love much!" He began to yell and shook her.
"You know what, you can't understand me or imagine what I feel! You only think about flirting with any girl you meet, you're a careless player who doesn't even know and imagine what family and parental love is! You don't' know what it's like to watch your parents die in front of your eyes! You can't understand my feelings!
"The only thing that bothers you are the random girls and your prince! I will take my revenge, cause' that Magda deserves it! Now go away! I don't want to see your face!" She yelled at him , turning away with tears.
Her words hurt Brandon's feelings. He bowed his head and left. Before going he turned his head over to see Stella that wasn't looking at him and went.
Lidia heard the yells and ran towards Stella. "What happened?"
"Nothing, let's go on." Stella replied coldly.
Brandon went back to Alfea.
The others saw him. Sky and Jessica came up to him.
" What happened? " Sky asked
"Nothing. I am going back to Red Fountain. "
"You won't stay here with us?" Jessica asked.
"No. I'm not in the mood." He said and went.
After her practice, Stella went back to Alfea. The girls were at their dorms. Stella entered hers and Bloom walked in.
"What did you say that Brandon had to leave?" Bloom asked in angry tone.
Stella rolled her eyes. "It's not your business.."
"Who are you? You are not the Stella I know, we know, and Brandon knows! Your desire made you blind and you don't see that. You'll lose all your friends if this goes on!" Bloom yelled and others came in.
"What's happened? " Flora asked.
"Fine! You know what, I don't need you, you only criticize me every time! I don't like Musa turning up her stupid music, Aisha always shows off like 'look, I am good at sports! ' I can't stand Tecna's strange talk, always numbers, logic and so on, Flora's always trying to 'give advice', but she needs it more! And you Bloom, you are always thinking you are the best as you are the guardian of the dragon flame but you aren't!" Stella yelled at them.
"Something is wrong with your head!" Tecna said.
"Don't even say any words about Flora again!" Aisha yelled.
"We aren't guilty of the death of your parents and your realm, stupid!" Musa yelled.
"You need to take your words back immediately!" Bloom shouted.
"I am not going to, as I am leaving you FOREVER!" Stella went out.
"Stella!" Lidia came up to her. She came to Alfea as she felt something was wrong and she was right. She heard yelling again.
"What are you doing here!" Stella yelled.
"Calm down, please, you shouldn't treat your friends like that."
"Ah, and now you're going to teach me how to treat the others! Who are you! You couldn't even protect my mom! And you can't tell me what to do! Everything was ok, until I met you again! This all was your fault! Your and that stupid biju! I hate everyone! I hate you! I hate me!" Stella yelled with her eyes full of tears and tan out.
Lidia bowed her head.
At the woods, Stella was thinking nervously. 'I don't need them, I hate them, them all... I... need my old life to be back...I...I..'
"MAGDA...WHERE ARE YOU! I AM CHALLENGING YOU RIGHT NOW AND HERE! Stella screamed as if Magda would have been heard her. She did.
"Looks like the fun is about to start." Magda appeared behind Stella with a smile. "I accept your challenge, sister but to scream like that…Do you think I am deaf?"
"Shut up and stop calling me your sister!"
"Ok, as you wish. Let's start our fun!" The fight began. First Stella was taking advantage of Magda and it seemed like she would win. But Magda managed to cheat and hit her on stomach. Stella fell down.
"I'll kill you and will take my revenge!" Stella yelled.
"What? Oh, come on, are you sure I killed your parents? " Magda asked with a sly smile.
Stella froze. "No answer? Oh, well. I'll tell you this. I didn't kill your parents, but I destroyed your realm." She began to laugh.
"No, it was you! I saw you doing that!"
"Oh, sorry, but you must have been thankful. Wasn't that your wish?" Stella didn't move from her place. A tear fell down from her eyes. "See, how did you say it that time? Um...something like 'I would be happy if you I didn't see you,...didn't meet you-" But she was cut off with icicle that was so near to hurt her.
"SHUT UP!" Stella yelled standing still...
"Oh, again this feeling..." Stella was in her consciousness.
"Hi again." That was the bird she had seen before.
"So you must be that three-feet bird biju." Stella said and the bird nodded.
"Ok, now I need your power, give me it! "
"In advance I want to warn you that my power can be dangerous if you continue to lose control of your emotions." The bird said.
"I said GIVE ME YOUR POWER!" The bird had no choice but to do as she said.
Meanwhile, Lidia was with girls and they were talking about Stella. "Please, girls you know, though she said such things you should forgive her, it's hard for her." Lidia said.
"Yeah, we know but what she said really hurt us." Aisha said.
"Now she's lost and we should do our best to help her get back in her way." Lidia said. The girls thought a while then suddenly a big boom was heard. They looked out of the window and saw smog and sparkles.
"I think Stella's in trouble." Flora said.
"Ok, girls, ready?" Bloom asked. "MAGIC WINX, BUTTERFLIX!" They transformed and flew away.
They reached the place and saw Stella fighting against Magda with air, fire and lightning.
"Wow, when she learn that?" Musa asked.
"It's biju's power. Shit!" Lidia said.
Magda managed to hit Stella from behind. "Now, you are alone sister." Magda said preparing to hit.
"Are you blind?" Tecna said attacking her. The others stood in front of Stella.
"Why are you here!? I could defeat her without your help!" Stella shouted.
"Stop that silly! We saw how you were going to defeat her and the result is this." Musa shouted back.
"Girls, concentrate on Magda!" Bloom shouted and attacked.
"Let's try magic convergence." Tecna suggested. "WINX, BUTTERFLIX CONVERGENCE!"
"Are you kidding?" Magda said, catching the orb and destroying it. She created a moon wave that made them all fell down.
"Stop this, Magda!" Lidia appeared. The fight between them began, but Magda kicked her with her foot on her chest. Lidia fell down holding her chest.
"Well, where was I, oh I was about to finish with you, sister." Magda said.
When Stella saw her friends fallen and Lidia getting a kick on her chest she got even more frustrated. "You... you...you will pay for this! " she got up.
Her eyes were shining light yellow and sparkles were covering her body. Then a power form a line in the sky, covering it with a light orange tornado. The waves were coming out from Stella's spot and threw everyone away.
Suddenly a wind blew with prickles and burning feelings and everything turned very quickly into sparkling dust and blown away, spinning round Stella. The trees, the ground everything was being destroyed.
"Oh, no!" Flora felt the cry of the nature and fainted. The girls came up to her. Suddenly, they felt weakness.
"What's happening? "Aisha yelled.
"It's Stella's power! It is destroying everything!" Tecna yelled back. The wind's whistle was deafening.
"It is going to destroy us!" Lidia said.
"Stella, stop, please!" Bloom begged trying to get close but Lidia stopped het.
"No Bloom stay here with others, she's not listening to you! "
At Red Fountain, Brandon was lying on his bed. Stella's words didn't get out of his mind.
"Brandon, are you ok?" Sky entered their dorm. He nodded.
"Listen, if it's about Stella, she didn't want to hurt you, you know it very well. You'll see, you two will be together. She just needs time."
"Thanks Sky." Brandon replied with smile. Suddenly they, heard noise. They looked out of the window and saw the trees were turning into sparkling dust and vanishing away, slowly.
"What's this?" Sky said.
"Um... guys, look at this." Helia said from behind. They looked at him. His cup was vanishing too. And Riven's watch was vanishing.
"What the hell is happening?" Riven said.
"It's all because of that light." Timmy said, pointing to a light line over the horizon.
"What's that?" Riven said.
"I don't know but we should go and find out." Sky said and the boys ran out.
"What are we going to do?" Musa asked.
Bloom had created a barrier that was almost saving them but it began to split.
"Stay here!" Lidia said and pulled out her weapon. 'This is the only way' she thought.
She covered it with the unknown power and began to run towards Stella. She threw it at Stella and threw herself in that light of hell, screaming. "Stella!"
That time Bloom's barrier finally splited and they all fell down and screamed because of the pain. Suddenly, everything calmed down and that sparkling dust fell down like it was snowing.
The place was unrecognizable. There was a huge hole in the spot of Stella. They saw Lidia hugging tightly Stella. Stella's face was full of frustration but after feeling Lidia's chest on her cheek she calmed down and cried so did Lidia.
Boys reached the place and helped the girls to get back to Alfea.
Magda disappeared with smile.
It was getting dark and the sun was about to set. Lidia was with Stella in her dorm.
"I am sorry, Lidia. You always saved me and I told you things I shouldn't have."
"It's ok. I know how you felt and it's hard for you."
"Yeah, this all, my new power, being an orphan and my parents death... when I think about it I can't forgive myself for telling them such things... I didn't want them to die."
"You know, when Jelfa, your real mom was about to die, I told her that she had so much to do, so she couldn't die. Then, she turned to me and held my hand an, with smile replied, ′ Dying or death is an expression made by man. I don't accept it. Never say I am dying, no, I am leaving this world as I finished my mission, I am leaving for another world. I am always with you. whenever and wherever you are, I will keep watching you and my beautiful daughter, and will protect those who remember and needs me. I am moving to the spiritual world, but will always live as long as the people I love do.′
"So, your parents are with you in your heart, because it's the gate between this world and the spiritual world, and if you open up and look into your heart you will find them." Lidia said putting her hand on Stella's shoulder. Stella was listening very careful and after Lidia finished she smiled and hugged her.
"May we come in?" The girls said.
"Of course" Stella said.
The girls entered and Lidia left. "How are you feeling? "
"Fine. ?.I mean not fine...I am sorry for what I said, please forgive me. I will do anything you say. Just forgive me."
"We have already forgiven you, Stella." Bloom said they all hugged each other. "
"I am so happy. Stella said
"Wait, is Brandon here, I must apologies to him too!" Stella said, worried.
"Yes. I think he went outside." Flora said.
"Thanks Flora." Stella hugged her and rushed out.
She saw Brandon sitting on the bench. "Brandon..."
He stood up when he saw Stella. "Yes, Stella."
"I am so sorry, I didn't mean what I said... I was...angry...and didn't understand what I was doing...and...when I said you those things, I wasn't thinking straight...can you forgive me...I will understand if you ...just leave me...but... can you at least forgive me, please." Stella said with innocent and begging voice.
Brandon smiled and said, "Did you think I would give up on you so easily, because I am not going to."
"Really? Oh, thank you, you are the best boyfriend I've ever had!" She said and with smile hugged him.
"Woah, easy, and I know that I am the best. I will never leave you." he hugged her tightly and said. "But it was pleasant to hear you say sorry. "
"Oh, Brandon! "
Magda was back at her cave, but instead of being frustrated, she was smiling.
"This is not good, and I don't want to imagine what will happen next time! " Coldeth said.
"Why is she smiling?" Robbin asked.
"I think she likes that situation." Wein said in whisper.
The next day, Stella woke up because of the light of the sun that soon was covered with dark clouds. Stella began to think about yesterday. So many things happened so fast that she didn't know if she could move on. Then, she noticed the book and looked at the necklace.
She got up and went to the table the book was on. She looked at it again and then at necklace and remembered Lidia's or actually, her real mom's words.
She took off her necklace and held it in her fist, putting it up to her lips.
She closed her eyes and thought, 'I will find you all in my heart, and I will control my revenge. I promise you! '
She put on the necklace, and for the first time in weeks, the sun shined in her eyes.
