Chapter Eleven: Will the Hell ever End?

Bloom was like a wild animal that had broken from its cage. She stood before burning rubble of black magic, heaving breathes went through her and she felt like she might combust at the rage that flowed through her. Why?! Why has everything gone so wrong?! Nobody deserved to die because of my mistake, the one time; the one time I tell the evil person 'no' they go and kill everyone! Her breath not coming fast enough Bloom felt the sudden urge to breathe fresh air instead of the stale and stuffy air that she was heaving in. All thoughts of danger ceased from her mind as she turned away from the smoking shards of discarded magic and stalked back toward the entrance, as she walked past people parted quickly to let her through, concerned and wary looks on all their faces, she saw most of the students were still sobbing loudly and not even taking any notice of her little fit. Through the corner of her eyes she noticed her friends had sunk to the floor and were staring at the pattern in the stone in stunned silence and did not try to stop her. Just as she was about to reach the door she heard the running of foot steps behind her. Turning to see Stella stalking through the crowd after her as paused and eyed her friend, Stella was pale and her eyes were red with tears that still streamed down her face. She looked just as desperate for air as Bloom but the furious look on her face was far beyond Bloom's own anger, Stella was livid.

"Why didn't you tell us?!" Stella actually reached out and pushed Bloom, she hit a nearby wall. It hurt but Bloom was too shocked that Stella would actually push her to notice, she cowered under her friends gaze. Behind Stella she saw the students and teachers of Alfea go blank, their mouths dropping and gasping at the scene unfolding in front of them, Brandon and the Specialists stepped forward unsure if they should stop it before someone got hurt "This is your problem Bloom you don't tell your friends what's going on and sooner or later we end up hurt!" Stella conjured a ball of light into her hand and threw into the stone floor, just for something to do. Bloom flinched and pressed herself back into the stone wall.

"Do you understand what's been done?!" Stella took a step back and gestured around her at the destroyed school "It's gone, all of it!" Creating another huge ball of light in her hand Stella threw it into the air and sent it flying into a nearby chandelier, it flew to the ground and shattered into pieces, the crowd moved frantically away from it while Miss Faragonda walked quickly into the tense little bubble that held Stella and Bloom

"Stella I know you're hurting but I must insister you calm down" She used a stern voice but Stella didn't seem to hear her she was too busy fixing her glare on Bloom. She spun on her heel and roared at the headmistress "This doesn't concern you!"

"Stella stop!" Brandon walked forward to stand behind Miss Faragonda, he was no longer wary he was determined "I know you're hurting but this isn't the way to deal with it"

Stella turned to him, her eyes widening and her expression going astounded "Hurting?! My home is destroyed, my people are probably lying in a burning heap and my parents are dead! You all have no idea how I feel!"

For some reason this made Bloom defensive, memories of her own planet and parents came crashing back into her head and she stepped away from the wall and walked toward her friend "And you don't think I don't know how that feels?" She asked calmly, Stella turned to her with that same wide rage face "You think I don't know what it's like to know your parents were murdered and your people and planet destroyed? You don't think I'm angry about the way my life has gone?!" She didn't know why but the rage within her was coming back, this time Stella took on a more sombre expression but the anger was still clear. After Bloom had shouted the whole room went quiet, Stella seemed to think about what she was talking about, sanity starting to replace the blind rage "We have to stop this"

"Bloom..." Stella whispered in a tense voice while balling up her fists "What did she mean when she said 'we share the same powers' and the other thing...she comes from us!" Her voice rang down the hall, if people weren't already watching them; they sure as hell were now, sobbing students turned and watched through tear filled eyes as the two girls they always thought would be friends together tore into each other. Bloom stared at her friend in despair and shock, she hadn't known Stella would change the subject so quickly but now that she had she wished she were miles away. Why did she have to bring 'her' up now?

Stepping forward Bloom tried to remain calm when she answered her friend "Stella...I don't think we should discuss this here so maybe we could-"

"No!" Bloom and everyone in the hall jumped as Musa pushed her way through the crowd and stood in between the two girls, Flora, Layla and Techna walked behind her, Bloom could see more shock and excitement go through the watching crowd. Musa fixed her glare on Bloom "We're going to discuss this right now because you know what happens when we keep things from the people we love, they die!"

Bloom's whole being felt like ice. She had never been yelled at and been the centre of her friend's anger before; in the pit of her stomach she felt immense guilt. She took a breath and stepped closer "S-she has our powers yes that's true. When Daphne said that a new evil rose with the fall of Valtor it was all true but that wasn't the end of it. She is..." Bloom paused and glanced around at all the people who were straining to hear her whispers to her friends, lowering her voice even more she whispered "She is the evil that once possessed us put into the same person. That's how she got our powers and that's why she wants total destruction of Magix, she wants revenge on Magix for making us feel so much pain and hurt because that's what made her. She's us"

Looking into the eyes of her friends she saw the horror and disgust she had felt herself when she had found out. The feeling of knowing that the person you yourself created was destroying everything and all that you loved the feeling of being one hundred percent responsible for the total destruction of Magix. Tears escaped them silently as the anger faded from them and they took on a lifeless expression, the people in the audience were totally confused and worried. It looked as if the Winx Club girls were on the verge of death with all the hurt in their eyes.

"It's quiet outside" Flora mused in a small voice and for some reason the whole room heard her. Coming alive again everyone mumbled and looked toward the doors. For the last two days the endless hum of monsters and destruction had been heard but now there was only silence, Miss Faragonda took her eyes of the Winx Club and quickly walked toward the door. Creaking it open a fraction her expression changed to one of shock and sadness, she pulled the door wide and grey sunlight spilled into the room. People shielded their eyes against its light but when they caught sight of outside they dropped their hands in surprise. Bloom turned her head to see the outside of the school and the city in the distance...or what was left of it. A small gasp escaped her but she wasn't all that surprised, people walked past her and her friends to crowd the steps of Alfea and watch the burning buildings of Gardenia (Is that right? Or is that the name of Bloom's home town on Earth) and hear the silence of thousands of screams that had been broken by death. Sounds of despair and heartbreak escaped some students and teachers, some held onto their friends for comfort while others turned away from the shattering sight, students and teachers walked slowly onto the lawn and peered around, not a monster in sight; the skies were clear but still grey from the rising smoke.

It really is all gone...she did exactly what she said she would. She destroyed Magix. But wouldn't Magix have been destroyed if we had said 'yes' anyway? We'll never know Bloom thought as she stared out into the rising sun. The hall was mostly empty now with all its occupants on the lawn which left the girls to stand silently in the foyer, this time when they looked at each other there was no anger or blame in their eyes, only mutual guilt and self loathing. Flora, Layla and Techna walked forward so the girl formed a circle "Bloom I'm sorry I yelled at you and pushed you" Stella said with real genuine guilt in her eyes, Bloom smiled a joyless smile at her and nodded.

"Why is Gardenia still standing? The other planets were totally destroyed, so why didn't she totally destroy this one?" Asked Techna in a normal voice since there was no one to hear her.

"To keep us alive to see the damage we've done" Replied Musa who still watched the burning city with dry eyes "I assume she'll come for us sooner or later. Either that or someone is going to put the pieces together and figure out we're involved"

The sound of flying ships caught everyone's attention then, they all looked in the distance to see hundreds of different ships flying on the horizon and coming toward Alfea. Students backed up in fear but stopped when one student called that it was not the enemy but a ship from another planet, this made everyone smile a small smile and run to clear the lawn. Teachers directed boulders out of the way while Students used what magic they had left to levitate the rubble away. Soon a large ship landed and opened its back compartment to reveal injured people and wounded soldiers sitting inside. Miss Faragonda immediately ordered a medical bay be set up in the hall as people ran to help the injured out of the ship, even in the midst of destruction the students of Alfea extended the hand of help to those who needed it. The girls moved to a dark corner and watched as hundreds of men, woman and children were brought in. Flora grabbed a soldier by the arm as he passes and asked how he came to be here, he answered in a sad voice that "The survivors from every planet were on their way here because they heard that Gardenia was a safe place that had not been totally destroyed"

"How did you hear that?" Layla asked curiously "Didn't you see outside? It's a death zone out there"

The man just shrugged a shoulder and answered "Word travels fast in the midst of panic and this place is heaven compared to the place some of these people have come from"

For hours after that people were brought in and looked after to the best of Alfea's abilities, students who had basic knowledge of healing were put to work on the wounded while others found beds and food for the not so wounded. What little news there was about Magix it was bad, no one had the slightest hope of knowing how they were going to get out of this one. The girls just stayed in their corner or wandered the halls alone; nobody really knew what do to with them so they just left them alone, everybody was still a bit sceptical about the girls.

It was about mid day and six hours had passed since the encounter with the evil girl, the destruction of Magix and the arrival of the injured survivors. Bloom stood in the middle of the hall and watched the people around her who were trying to keep busy and not think about all the people they had lost, royal princess and princes were putting in the hard yards and making a small difference to a bad situation and all Bloom could do was stand there feeling useless. Her friends felt the same way; they all sat against the wall and waited. They waited for a reason to do something, a reason for them to fight or to fix the crisis they had caused but nothing would happen. It was maddening! Bloom also asked lots of people coming in about Eraklyon and about its royal family but nobody had any answers, it was like Eraklyon ceased to exist from the moment Sky and Diaspro had left to go protect it and that thought greatly distressed Bloom but what distressed her more was that sometimes when she thought of Sky she didn't care. I both love and hate him, it's like my heart and head can't make their minds on which one it should stick with, again Maddening!

Bloom was looking over at her friends when a voice called out to her, she immediately felt the familiar feeling in her head whenever her evil self spoke to her. Glancing around she spotted a small dark hallway that led into a small closet, the very one the girls had hit in that first day. She stepped quickly inside and looked around to see a very small mirror hanging on the wall, her reflection was looking out at her warily "You can't blame yourself-"

"We'll I do, I brought about the destruction of Magix. It was all me, you just say that because your evil and you don't even care about what happens" Bloom said in a hard voice, taking no prisoners.

"I care about what happens to my friends and what happens to my home, you don't really think I'm that heartless do you?" The girl looked a little hurt by what Bloom had said but didn't really show it that much "But you know you can fix it right?"

Bloom shook her head "No no, I don't think so. I can't fix this, ok? Nobody can bring back so many people and nobody can erase what been done!" Bloom was feeling herself get upset and she wasn't in the mood to be cheered up.

"Would you stop blaming yourself and listen to me!" The girl in the mirror threw her hands up in frustration as she spoke "God you know I'm trying to help you! But NO! The great Bloom doesn't need anyone's help except her friends because they're all part of a wonderful club and they can do anything as long as they believe in themselves!" The girl was faking an awe filled voice which made Bloom even madder.

"Stop! Do not mock me!" She pointed at herself in the mirror "You have no idea what I've been through!"

"And you have no idea what I've been through you stupid fairy!" Bloom paused in shock "Do you think it's easy for me to be like this?" She gestured to the mirror and it's frame "Do you think I like being in your head all the time and listening to your thoughts and watching you with your friends while I'm stuck in here with no one to talk to because you know what, you have no idea how lucky you are to be able to talk to your friends while I have none, so shut the hell up and listen to me try and save the future you dumb oversensitive bitch!"

Bloom stared at her evil self in utter astonishment, after a moment of thought she smiled slightly "Bravo"

The girl sighed heavily and closed her eyes "Thanks" opening her eyes she started to talk really fast "Ok heres what I got. I know you're hurting about the whole Sky thing and the whole Magix is a pile of burning rubble thing but I think there's a way to fix it"

"You know how to defeat her?!" Hope sparked in Bloom once more, she felt more alive than ever.

"Umm no" Bloom's face fell "But I know another way to take it all back!"

"Take it all back? You can't talk it all back, what are you talking about?" There's no way to do that! She must be insane and if there is a way why has she waited for so long to tell me about it?!

"I know it weird but..." She fixed Bloom with a serious face "If there was a way to take back all the bad things you've done and fix everything, would you do it or would you try and kill her and continue on with your world?"

The girl wasn't making much sense but Bloom was open to suggestions, she thought about the question. Really it was ideal, taking it all back but that wasn't possible...was it?

The door to the closet suddenly opened and a hand suddenly seized her arm and before bloom could even yelp in surprise she felt herself being dragged out of the room and back out into the foyer by a strong person and thrown to the stone floor. When she opened her eyes she saw across the room her friends leap to their feet and start to run to her, looking up she saw Lucus standing over her, behind him there was twenty guards that stuck out because they were not covered in blood and scars. Bloom didn't even have time to blink or yell when Lucus's foot shot out of kicked her in the stomach, this time Bloom did yell. Which caught the attention of most of the people in the hall, they looked over in surprise. Oh for the love of god! How many times am I going to be the centre of attention today?!

"You, you evil little bitch!" Lucus yelled at her, taking another step forward to kick her, Bloom was able to dodge it in time and scoot away. Bloom had no idea why he was here or why he was kicking the crap out of her but she wasn't going to take it, still on the ground she looked up at him in defiance "You're still alive! What the hell?!" Bloom yelled in mock shock, this made Lucus's glare even more pissed off "You've had this coming for two years little pixie!" Lucus nodded at the soldier next to him and in the blink of an eye six soldiers had surrounded Bloom, all a metre apart, giving her a wide circle to scoot around in. The running footsteps had reached Bloom and she knew her friends had arrived just in time...for what? What could Lucus possibly be talking about?

"Get away from her!" Musa yelled as she reached Bloom's side, she stood over her and faced Lucus with ready fists and a ferocious expression. Stella stepped up beside her, turning on that authority only a princess could have, her voice was powerful and loud "What do you think you're doing?"

"Don't worry this concerns all of you too" Lucus said as he eyed the girls who continued to look around nervously at the guards and their weapons.

"I demand you tell me what it is your doing here, why you have surrounded us with armed guards and why you hit my friend? Who the hell do you think you are?!" Stella said annoyed that she didn't get a full answer the first time. Lucus just smiled that little sneer "You think you still have the world at your finger tips" It was a statement rather than a question and it made Stella's authority act crack a little, a spike of fear shivered down her spine, Lucus kept talking in that eerie calm and loud voice of his "You think that after everything you've done you still retain the right to order me about? What do you think would happen if I told everyone in this room, everyone that thought you were truly good exactly what you've done? All about your evil little secrets"

Thank god Miss Faragonda and the Specialists weren't around to hear the stream of unlady-like swearing that came out of Stella but Lucus was not affected, he knew he had hit a nerve and he knew that the girls before him were scared of what he might know. As Bloom listened to Stella yell a terrible thought occurred to her, what if this is part of her plan? What if that's why she kept gardenia alive so people could gather here and be an audience to our disgrace? What if she told him...everything? Bloom's eyes shot up to Lucus's and at that moment he looked down on her and something changed between them, an understanding. The truth was there in his eyes and she knew it, he knew everything. Bloom felt her stomach drop through the floor and her world start to blur, gripping onto Stella's arm to stop her yelling; Stella looked down on her curiously but shut her mouth when bloom gave the slightest shake of her head. Getting to her feet and standing amongst her friends, when she looked across the room to see Miss Faragonda and the Specialists enter she just about broke down and cried at the turn of events and the crap that was about to happen, she looked directly at Lucus "Just say what you have to say"

Before Lucus could say anything that would incriminate the girls Miss F walked forward and, bless her, spoke to Lucus "What is this, Lucus?" The specialists looked very on edge at the scene in front of them; a powerful protectiveness came over them as they looked at the girls.

Lucus looked like a child who had found hidden money, he looked gleeful "Miss Faragonda, I'm glad you're here to see this" Bloom rolled her eyes at this, pig! Lucus then turned and addressed the whole room "We've all come here to escape a danger; a danger we know nothing of and couldn't have predicted would strike..." He turned and glanced at the girls who, besides Bloom, finally got the message of what he was here to do "...This morning millions of people all over Magix met their end at the hands of an evil enchantress, bent on the destruction of Magix. And since it's destruction a lucky few have convened here to grip onto what little life they have left and reminisce about the horrors they've faced and the horror that will soon came for them" He paused for dramatic tension "But who do you blame for something like that?" He had started to walk in a slow circle around the circle that enclosed the girls, like a shark stalking its prey "Do you blame the person who ordered the attack and marched the monsters which took so many lives into battle, do you blame the authorities of Magix for not seeing the danger sooner or..." he had reached back to where he had stared in the circle, he now faced away from the girls and addressed the whole room "Do you blame the very people who brought this wicked enchantress into the world" He turned to face the girls and a HUGE gasp went through the room, everyone inhaling air at the exact same time and their jaws dropping open. The girl stood very still and kept their eyes on Lucus, they looked calm but on the inside they were raging. Lucus continued in a more victorious voice "But you didn't just create her did you? No, she came from you" The girls saw the guys heads whip from Lucus's face to stare at the girls, the disbelief in their eyes hurt the girl more that anyone would know "And as such you knew about her from the moment you came back here...and you. Did. Nothing. You didn't warn anybody, you didn't let the people of Magix prepare of an attack and you didn't even have the heart to accept it was all your fault and just continued on with your lives thinking that everything would just work out, that..." He turned to the room again "Is true evil"

Since the beginning of Lucus's speech the girls had felt the tension in the room building to a boiling point, people were overcome with emotion by his words, they balled up their fists, they glared at the girls in hate or they just stared at them in betrayal but most of all...they were pissed off. And now there was a long silence before the whole room went up in a huge battle of words, the people who had come in on the ships pointed to them and shouted for their immediate arrest and punishment while others like the students and teachers of Alfea, to the girl's complete surprise, stepped forward and defended the girls. They said that there must be more to the story while the people who wanted the girls dead yelled at them and told them to look at the facts. Miss Faragonda was arguing with Lucus in a loud and upset voice, the girls had never seen her so angry. Which left the guys to just look over and stare at the girls with blank faces, the girls had no idea what they should do.

Oh my god, everyone knows...and we're screwed. She really must have told him everything, if there's one thing Lucus wants more than to kill the new evil and it's to kill the Winx Club.

"This is complete madness" Mumbled Flora as she watched the arguing crowd become more loud and angry "We have to say something...Lucus will never let us have the chance to defend ourselves and if we don't do something soon we lose our chance"

The girls all jumped as something shattered off to their right by a couple who were in a heated argument about the girls. Stella shook her head "Umm n-not sound cowardly but I don't think our princess status will get the crowd's attention when we try and call for order, we're done for"

Bloom looked down at her hands and thought frantically, Flora was right; if they didn't use the chance to tell the whole truth then they would be severely punished or maybe put to death and this crowd would want immediate justice too. As she thought this Bloom had a crazy feeling; she wished Valtor was here. He always knew how to silence a room or make a damn good case when the odds were stacked against him; damn this was the one time she wished he had taught them how to kick some ass vocally instead of physically.

"What can we do?" Bloom mumbled to herself and if any of the girls had known what she was think they would know she was actually trying to think of what Valtor would do.

"I tell you what we do, we try and save our useless supposedly evil lives" Said Flora in a voice more determined than Bloom had heard it in a long time. Flora shot up from where she had crouched beside Bloom; she looked around for a moment before taking a huge breath and screaming "Shut it!"

Just like the room had gone up in complete chaos it switched off to stunned silence, all turning to stare at the beautiful shy fairy known as Flora, even the girls looked up at her in shock "This arguing is getting you people nowhere! Haven't you even thought about how he knows all this? She must have told him and don't you think it's a little suspicious that she spoke to him and he didn't immediately try to kill her!" She was trying to shift the blame and while she knew that this was all to save their lives she still left guilty about pointing fingers. People glanced over at Lucus in deep thought, quickly putting the pieces together while he just looked at Flora, his expression hardening.

"And don't you think it's a little suspicious that this enchantress came from you and you don't know how to stop her or maybe you don't want too"

Musa shot up from her spot in outrage "What?! How dare you! If there was a way to kill her we would be out there trying too instead of in here arguing with you, you senseless overdramatic cad!"

Lucus pointed a finger at her "They were evil once, what makes you think they haven't gone evil again in order to help their little creation!" The people in the audience glanced back to the girls, their expressions hardening too. Helia stalked forward looking angry, a really rare sight for him "You can't prove any of this! You're just making up theories to try and incriminate the girls because you blame them for ruining your own reputation when they disappeared for the second time!"

Lucus turned to glower at Helia "You know you defend them so heartily for someone who is supposed to have Magix best interest at heart, maybe you should be in there with them!" He pointed to the circle that surrounded the girls "He's got nothing to do with this!" Flora sounded outraged now, she stepped forward only to be blocked by the wall of guards, the girls came to life beside her and stalked overt o stand with her.

A man a few metres away that had been arguing loudly for the girls arrest stepped forward and yelled "Oh we all know the relationship the great Specialists have with the famous Winx Club! You can only imagine the sinful things they've done in order to get them on your side"

The girls mouths dropped open "Oh no, he did not just say that!" Stella yelled at nobody in particular "We may be supposed criminals but we have our pride, how dare you insinuate that we did any of that, I may still be the princess of Saloria and am still of royal blood but by god I can still kick anyone's ass that dares try to sully the Winx Club name!"

A woman off to the angry mans right stepped forward "You already sullied it when you brought that monstrous thing into Magix! You deserve to die along with her!"

"You have no right to condemn them!" Brandon stepped forward and addressed the woman with a hard voice; the girls could tell the guys were angry "Think of all the good they did before they became evil, are we all going to just forget that and decide to hate them?!"

The woman walked up to him and yelled "But think of all the bad they've done since then, are we going to just forget that?!" The man that had spoken before stepped up beside her "We need to act fast and punish those responsible!"

Timmy stepped forward also until the Brandon, Helia and him were all facing the man and woman "But you still have no authority to condemn them to death or incarcerate and we still have no facts as to if they really did what Lucus says they did and we still can't believe half of what he says, we all know he wants revenge on them!"

Lucus took on a smug expression "But I do have proof" He clicked his fingers and four of the guards that stood behind him walked forward, they were spit into pairs and each pair carried a bad that looked suspiciously like it had a body in it. The men dropped both bags on the floor with a thud, people walked forward to get a closer look as the men unzipped the bags and tipped them over and behold out flopped the dead body of Diapspro and Mr Spitter. The crowd gasped and screams were heard as they looked at the two dead bodies. Mr Spitter looked like he had been stabbed in the chest by a huge object and submerged in water from four months, which by the girls count he had and Diaspro looked as if she had been stabbed and buried, which she had by Bloom and Stella.

The girls looked at the bodies with wide eyes while Lucus stepped forward and asked "Perhaps you'd like to explain to everyone why Princess Diaspro was found buried in your back yard and why ex teacher Mr Spitter was found in the river weighted down with a dumbell you yourselves had purchased to make him sink?"

"That is some damning evidence" Mumbled Musa as she looked at the two bodies.

By this time people were starting to get fired up again and yelled at each other, until the whole room was yelled at each other. The girl stood dumbstruck at the sight that had happened again, would the yelling never end?!

"Stop!" Layla yelled, catching the attention of everyone again "You know the more we keep arguing the more time we give her to come and destroy us!"

This caught everyone's attention and they all glanced around warily "We as students of Alfea and princesses of Magix still have the right to defend ourselves; you owe us at least that!"

"Or you could all listen to my solution to ending the enchantress" Lucus shouted at everyone.

Musa groaned loudly and rolled her eyed "Oh my god, are you still here?!"

Lucus continued as if he hadn't heard her "I have a plan that is sure too-"

"SHUT UP!" The girls, guys and half of the hall shouted at him.

"Please, let us explain" Flora asked more quietly, the people in the hall went quiet and turned to listen to her, some looked very mad while others looked hopeful, Flora felt a small surge of panic before she caught Helia's eye and felt a strong sense of hope "Look..." She paused for a moment before turning and whispering to the girls "How do we convince them that we're innocent if we don't even believe it ourselves?"

And that was the problem; the girls didn't believe that they were innocent. Ever since they had found out about the evil coming from within them they had blamed themselves for everything and now faced with the dilemma of trying to prove their innocence well...they were stumped. A sudden crack of lightning and thunder caught everyone's attention, they all turned toward the open doors of Alfea to see a fast approaching storm coming right for them, the clouds were pitch black and white lightening struck the ground. The storm looked magically conjured and as soon as people saw it they panicked "it's her, she's come to finish us off!" A woman screamed from the crowd.

This is when Lucus made his move he stepped forward and pointed at the girls "You know that evil woman came from them! So maybe if we get rid of the source, we defeat her. To kill her..." He pointed to the storm and then to the girls "...we have to kill them" The crowd roared with agreement, although some looked over at the girls in sorrow. Miss Faragonda shouted for the girls defence while the guys lunged forward and yelled right in Lucus's face, a fight was about to go down and so was everyone's death. The girls felt terror rip through them as they thought of the prospect of dying right here, right now. The guards that surrounded them grabbed them by the arms and dragged them toward the front doors where it started to rain heavily, people marched out beside them in agreement as Lucus led the way. The girls scrambled against their captors and yelled to be released but nobody would listen, the rain pounded down on them as they stepped outside into the rain, thunder tolled and lightening lit up the sky, it was hell on earth.

Looking toward the lawn on Alfea they saw a horrific sight, Lucus had come prepared. In the ground stood six very big and very sharp axes. The plan was simple and clear "You're seriously going to cut our heads off?!" Screamed Musa as she was pushed toward her death, Lucus answered her "it's the best way to ensure your death"

Each one of the girls felt unguarded terror as they were pushed into the wet mud at the edge of the huge ravine that still opened up on the lawn, they were all lushed to their knees at the edge with a guard at each of their sides, people roared around them in a huge crowd while Lucus stood on the other side of the giant chasm. Each of the girls got two guards, one to hold the axe while the other held the girl still, they struggled against them but the guards were so strong. Even when they transformed into their Charmix to try and fly away more guards held them down, looking over as rain flowed down their faces they saw the crowd of people and in the front line were the guys. They looked just as scared as the girls felt but they were scared for them, not themselves.

Bloom was the only silent one of her friends as she watched the events play out in front of her. She felt the guard with the axe step up next to her and the hands on her tighten. Looking up she saw the evil smile of Lucus as he looked down on her from across the chasm and in a moment of shock she saw through the back of the crowd the evil girl standing there, and it felt like Bloom was seeing her for the first time. All white hair, black eyes, white skin, black dress and evil smile. Not wanting her to be the last thing Bloom sees she looked across to see her friends staring into the crowd at their guys, tears streaming down their faces. This is it, the end. And I have no one to look too and there's no one I would want to look at in my moment of death except for Sky. God I love him so much and no matter what he ever did to me, I know I'll always love him. Death really does make you forgiving.

Looking back down into the dirt as she was forced to lean forward she saw her reflection in the puddle under her. To her surprise she saw her own face, not her evil self but her own soul staring back at her, she looked calm and...Ready. Her evil self shuddered back into focus and smiled a small smile which made Bloom smile, like the two of them were in their own little bubble "I thought you didn't show yourself whenever she was around?" She mumbled quietly.

"I thought that this occasion called for us to be together...until the end"

Bloom felt rather than saw the guard next to her take hold of the axe and position it just against her neck, the silver sent chills all through her body. Bloom smiled and closed her eyes as one little tear escape her, she was ready for death.

"Can we talk?" Her reflection asked quickly and calmly.

Her eyes flew open and she couldn't help but stare at the girl in shock and disbelief "Now?!"

The girl nodded as the chill of the axe left her neck and she knew the guard was swinging it up into the air and swing it back down.
