Heart of Darkness

Chapter 10

Shadowhaunt

Musa had finally regained consciousness. She looked around a little worried when she only saw Riven and Brandon present. However, her boyfriend quickly reassured her that everything was alright and that the others were saving Bloom inside the Realix. However, he did not tell her that it had been sometime since they had entered.

While he didn't show it. He was worried about what was taking so long. Brandon on the other hand had not spoken a word since it all started. Leaning up against the table, still gingerly holding his side. Then with a loud crack, the portal opened once more. The blinding light forced the three to cover their eyes for a split second before focusing on the two figures that had exited the portal first.

"Stella!" Brandon exclaimed, wincing slightly as his ribs protested to the sudden movement. "They did it!"

Stella said nothing as she slowly moved towards her boyfriend, leaving Blooms side. Refusing to look at him as she let her feet take her one step at a time. Pressing up against him, she hugged him. His only reaction was to hug her back, thinking that she was just stressed after the long battle.

"Stella?" he asked. "Are you alright."

The blonde said nothing as her hand went to her back, grasping the handle of the knife. She knew she had to do this fast, before she lost her resolve. Slowly pulling out of where she was hiding it, she looked up at him and smiled.

"Brandon! Look out!" Riven tried to warn but it was too late. Stella pulled back, and brought the blade down hard. Burying it deep within his chest. Brandon let out a gasp as Musa screamed in the background.

"W-why?" was all he asked before he slumped to the floor. A single tear left the blonde girls eyes as she looked down at what she had done.

"You did well." Darkar stated as he and the Trix stepped out of the portal with the captive Winx and Specialists, still trapped within the magical sphere. Bloom walked up and placed a reassuring hand on Stella's shoulder.

"And now you shall be rewarded." Darkar said as he raised his hand towards the sun fairy. Bloom recognized the spell, smiling she stepped back. Stella looked at her friend a little concerned, Bloom only nodded.

In an instant a red ball of dark energy shot from Darkars palm, entering Stellas chest. As the darkness took over her heart, her appearance began to change. Her once amber colored eyes changed to a crimson red, with the same cat like pupil that Bloom had. At the same time her clothing took on a deep black with crimson trimmings. Looking up, she grinned at Bloom before the two girls cast their eyes on the remaining would be heroes.

"Stella, what have you done?" Riven asked, over coming the shock at what he had just seen.

"Well it would appear that I stabbed Brandon in the chest with a knife." She smirked as she gave a sarcastic answer.

"What the hell happened in there?" Musa asked, still shaking in horror. Her eyes darting back and fourth from Brandons body to Stella.

"She fulfilled her promise to me." Bloom answered as she stepped forward.

It was then that the two noticed that the fire fairy was not in her dark transformation, but rather her recent normal attire. Another wave of shock began to seep into them as they came to the same conclusion that the others had discovered.

"You planned this all along." Riven accused her.

"Took you long enough to realize." Bloom teased. "And now that we hold the Ultimate Power everyone will know."

"My dears." Darkar looked to Bloom and Stella. "Please show our special guest to their rooms."

Bloom and Stella only chucked as they approached the remaining two. The two remaining tried to put up a fight, but it was short lived as the two fairies enhanced powers proved too much for them.

Restraining Riven and Musa. Bloom and Stella pushed them towards the dungeon area. The three witches shortly behind with the rest of the captives. After securing the prisoners, they returned to the throne room. It was time to let the world know.

Alfea

Faragonda paced back and fourth behind her desk. She was worried what was taking the girls and specialists so long. Looking out the large window she could see the sun starting to go down in the distance. Giving off an ominous feel to a normally beautiful sunset. It was then that she noticed the ship that the girls had left in returning, landing softly inside the quad area of the school.

Faragonda wasted no time as she left her office and hurried to great everyone as they returned. When she reached the ship, the loading ramp was just beginning to lower. Exposing Bloom and Stella at the entrance.

"It is good to see that you are safe Bloom." Faragonda breathed a sigh of relief. "How are the others?"

At this, the two girls only laughed as they looked down at the older woman. Slowly descending the ramp until they were directly in front of the head mistress. By now a majority of the school had come out to see what was going on.

"I am afraid they will not be joining us at the moment." Bloom answered with a snicker that unsettled the older woman.

"You see, they are sort of indisposed of." Stella finished.

Faragonda did not like how this was looking. She had a dreaded feeling that something had gone horrible wrong. The way the two girls before her acted only confirmed that feeling. Though she already had an idea, she still had to ask. "What happened?"

"They failed" came a dark voice from the ship. Faragonda gasped as Darkar came down the ramp with the Trix behind him.

"I really must thank you for letting my 'study' the codex piece." Bloom smiled darkly as she stood beside Darkar, Stella taking his other side.

"I am feeling generous today." Darkar spoke with a grin. "Surrender now, and we will spare your students."

As he spoke Bloom lifted up her hand, signaling legions of shadow beasts to come fourth from the ground, emphasizing the point to the headmistress. Faragonda looked behind her. She could see the horror on the faces of all the students. Many could not believe that the leader of their beloved Winx Club, the ones that had been their heroes; had betrayed them all.

"Kneel before me." Darkar commanded. He wanted to humiliate the old woman.

Faragonda chocked back her pride as she dropped to her knees before the dark man. This was her only choice if she wanted to spare the lives of the students of the school. As they long as they survived, there was still a chance to save the magical realms. Bowing her head down, she endured the mans laughter as the students behind her gasped.

Meanwhile, Bloom smirked and began to weave her fingers through the air. Causing sparks of fire to erupt from her fingers. Dragging it out she formed a snake of fire, before shooting it at the older woman.

"He promised to spare the students." Stella said coldly. "But as long as your alive, rebellions will stir."

Faragonda looked up just in time to for the snake to jump at her, forcing its way down her throat. Bloom smiled as she remembered a very similar scene from one of her dreams. The older woman writhed in pain as the snake burnt it's way down her through. As she drew in air to scream, it sucked the flames directly into her lungs. It was an agonizing death.

The students cried out and screamed in horror at what they had witnessed. All of them frozen with fear to even make an attempt to flee. Bloom cast her sight towards their audience and grinned as she walked forward, kicking the knelt over form of their former head mistress to the side.

"This is an example to those who think to rise against us." Bloom explained. "Your only hope for survival is complete and utter loyalty."

Slowly, one by one; each of the students kneeled down and bowed their heads before Darkar as he approached the crowd. Stella took her spot next to Bloom as she looked out over the sea of bowed heads. A dark grin on her face. If she had any remorse of what she had done or what she had decided to do, she didn't show it.

Three Months Later

Over time, each of the magical realms fell to the dark army that Bloom and Darkar had summoned. Despite all of their might, each realms kingdom was quickly over ran. Bloom had placed Stella to rule over her home world of Solaria.

After the sun fairy had over thrown her father, using the same knife she had killed Brandon with. It had become sort of a secondary best friend for her. In most cases she favored the knife over her own abilities. The darkness inside her had twisted her. She enjoyed seeing the life fade out of her victims eyes. She also cherished the look of betrayal in her fathers eyes when she plunged the knife into his chest.

Even though she was the ruler of Solaria, she remained by Blooms side, whom had stayed with Darkar in their underground fortress of Shadowhaunt. Despite taking over the magical realms, this was home to them. Even though Bloom had taken over as the head of Alfea. Exposing the new generation of fairies to dark magic. She did have to publicly execute a few of the remaining staff to make sure everyone stayed in line.

The Trix on the other hand had reclaimed Cloud Tower for their own. To train armies of new witches to feed their conquest. Ms. Griffen was not so keen to give it up and had fought desperately against the three sisters. It was futile to say the least. The Trix sisters quickly over whelmed her. Freezing her in stone at the entrance of the school for all the students to see. It was a warning to those who dared defy them.

The only realm that was safe was Earth. It held no magical beings, at least not enough to be considered a worthwhile target. However Bloom did decide to pay her adopted parents a visit. After all, they would want to know what their little girl has been up to.

"Bloom dear!" Venessa exclaimed as she answered the door and saw the red haired girl standing there. Though she did have to look twice at their daughters new style. "It's so good to see you."She moved in to hug the young fire fairy, oblivious to the glare she was receiving as Bloom did not want to be hugged. It was then that Mike came out to greet his adopted daughter.

"What have you been up to?" he asked in a joking tone.

"Oh nothing." she smirked. "Just helped my fiancée take over all of the magical realms and executed Alfea's head mistress in front of all the students."

"That's not funny" Mike began to reprimand. "You know better then to joke about stuff like that."

Bloom only grinned in response. As her adopted mother backed away, the woman gasped as she saw the look in their daughters eyes.

"My god, your not joking." she stated, beginning to hyper ventilate.

"Of course not." she smiled. "I know better then to joke about such serious matters."

Mike backed away as he saw the evil glint in her eyes, holding onto his wife who was trembling in fear.

"Now, I believe we need to talk" Bloom grinned as she held up her hand, letting fire to envelope her closed fist.
