Hey guys! I'm so sorry for the long wait! This chapter moves pretty quickly and has lots of action, so enjoy!

Last Chapter:

"This is the last paragraph, so…" Brandon looked back to the book. "Students and teachers we are under attack! Year one students please go to you dorm and strengthen it, if you have your winx transformation and in year 2 go to the nearest secret passage, Charmix students go out side to battle, enchantix students go to the roof! Move it!"

"NO! WE WERE SO CLOSE!" Brandon and Mirta flinched at the shrillness of Stella's cries. Soon, sobs bubbled from her spot.

"What… What do we do?" Brandon asked, clearly worried.

"Well, she's gone bonkers. I'll grab the tape," Mirta sighed, moving to the desk.

"My poor baby," Brandon cooed. While digging, Mirta shook her head.

"Nothing like dealing with two crazy people in one day."

The Winx Read My Melody

Chapter 11: Punishment

"I can't believe all of these humans," Tecna grumbled to herself. She was walking across campus, finally having tracked the location of Musa. She put the tracking gadget in her pocket and picked up speed towards the oak tree just around the corner of the east wing. "Cannot believe I'm running after Musa. This should be Riven's job. But is it? Noooooooo." She huffed one last time before turning the corner and freezing to her spot.

Squinting her eyes, she looked across the picnic area, towards a large tree where two people sat under.

"What the…"

To the purple haired cyborg, the two people under the tree looked an awful like Musa and Riven.

But it couldn't be…

She watched as the girl that Tecna thought was Musa peel her face away from the guy she thought was Riven and stare in Tecna's direction. The girl swatted the guy's chest when he leaned in to capture her lips again. She pointed over towards Tecna and they shared a look. They both jumped up from the ground and took off behind the fairly large tree.

Tecna frowned. Their actions confirmed just who the two individuals were.

"Musa! Riven! What in the Dragon's name!?" Tecna screamed, stomping over to tree. Musa poked her head around the trunk, a sheepish smile over her face.

"Oh, hi, Tec," she muttered, awkwardly. "I didn't think you would be around here at this time of day…" Musa chuckled awkwardly.

"I'm going to strangle you two," Tecna seethed. Musa looked really confused.

"Ooo, angry robot, aren't we?"

"THAT IS IT!" Tecna screamed, lunging at the cocky Specialist around the tree trunk. Musa stopped Tecna's advances.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you so angry, Tec?" Musa questioned.

"You are seeing this douche and never told me! I had to put up with you two all freaking day! DO YOU KNOW HOW CHALLENGING THAT IS!?" Tecna began to struggle in Musa's grip, swinging her fists in Riven's direction.

"He's harmless. Stop it, Tec," Musa scolded. Riven was just centimeters away from Tecna's claws. She growled and he pulled a mocking face. Tecna groaned.

"Mu-" Tecna's sentence was cut off when her favourite brown book popped up in her hands. "What…?"

"Tecna, I left for a reason. Why did you bring that here?" Musa snapped, letting go of Tecna and taking a step away from the book. Tecna was too awestricken to even go after Riven. He beamed and sent a wink in Musa's direction.

"I… I didn't bring the book here," Tecna admitted, horrified. Riven scoffed.

"Who would have thought that you would be the overdramatic one?!" Riven chuckled.

"No. Guys, seriously. This is bad. Really bad," Tecna said. Musa was concerned for her friend but didn't move any closer to the book.

"Why? What's wrong?" Musa questioned.

"The book. It… followed me." Musa let out a groan.

"Of course. Great luck on us," Musa mumbled.

"This is really… interesting."

"I think this is a sign for us to kill it?" Musa suggested. She gingerly reached for the brown book but Tecna pulled it from her grasp.

"No! This is a sign. It must be a sign!" Tecna hissed. She flipped open the book. "Finish what you started; there is no choice. If a choice is attempted, you shall be punished."

"What… What was that?" Musa questioned, taking a step away from her friend.

"A note on our bookmark," Tecna answered. She looked between Riven and Musa. "Do you think…?"

"No. We can't keep reading. It's dangerous!" Musa argued. "Riven, back me up here."

"Muse, maybe we should keep reading? It said we can't lose it."

"That's exactly why we need to lose it!" Musa cried. She snatched the book from Tecna before she could say anything. "I'm going to go burn this demon. I'm going to end this once and for all!"

"Musa!" Tecna cried.

"No!" And with that, Musa stormed off towards the castle.

Bbbbbbbbbbb

"Musa!" A shrill voice woke Musa up from her sleep. It was later that night, after the Specialists went back to Red Fountain and long after the girls fell asleep.

"Wha…?" Musa's eyes fluttered open to see she was standing in front of a growing fire. She let out a yelp and scrambled backwards, dropping her belongings from her arms. She was standing in the front courtyard, a few feet away from the fountain.

"Miss Song, what do you think you are doing?!" Griselda's sharp voice barked. Musa looked away from the growing fire and noticed all the students were standing on their balconies, looking at Musa.

"I-"

"No excuses! I can't believe you! Destroying school property, threatening students!" Griselda went on and on and Musa began to get more and more panicked.

"No. No. That wasn't me. I was sleeping!"

"To Mrs. Faragonda's office!" Musa's heart dropped and she gazed towards the flames.

Where she dropped her belongings, a small brown book sat. Musa nearly got sick at the sight of it.

"No…"

The diary.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

"I still can't believe her," Layla grumbled. "It's so unlike her!"

"Yeah, I don't know what's up with her, but something isn't right," Bloom added. "She could have killed someone!"

"She almost killed someone!"

"Amaryl is just lucky that Mirta was there to save here," Flora admitted.

"What did Mirta say? It wasn't… her?" Bloom questioned. "Something doesn't feel right."

"Apparently, Musa is going on and on about how she doesn't remember anything!" Layla shook her head. "She claims she was sleeping for the whole thing. Doesn't remember any of it."

"Maybe she didn't do it? Maybe it wasn't her?" Bloom suggested.

"Well she's also saying that the book made her do it, so…" Layla huffed.

"Tecna, you've been awfully quiet. What are you thinking of?" Bloom questioned.

"I have a bad feeling. That's all."

"See! There! Even Tecna feels something is off!" Bloom cried. Layla crossed her arms.

"Nobody is saying that we don't feel anything off. We're just trying to figure this out."

"Tecna, please elaborate," Bloom pleaded.

"I… Do you know when I went after Musa earlier?" she asked. Bloom shook her head.

"Only Stella was there, and, well…" The group gazed to where Stella was sitting in the corner, laughing hysterically at what looked like Flora's plant. "It doesn't matter. You went after Musa?"

"She ran away. Riven left. I went after her. I found her by the east wing, kissing Riven." There were multiple hisses and gags.

"WAIT WHAT!?" The Winx jumped as Stella was broken from her trance. "Musa. Was. Doing. WHAT?"

"Stella, that's not important right now. We-"

"Where is she? I need to give her a piece of my mind!" Stella got up from her seat and started storming towards the door.

"Uhm, sweetie? That isn't the best thing right now." Flora glanced at Bloom and she nodded. "You missed a little bit while you were out…" Flora brought Stella over to the couch and proceeded to fill the sun fairy in on the events that happened only an hour before.

"Continue, Tecna," Bloom commanded.

"Anyways, I went after Riven," Tecna started.

"Like you should!"

"Stella, please pay attention," Flora scolded.

"While I was trying to attack Riven, the book popped into my hands," Tecna said. Bloom shared a worried look with Layla. "There was a note in it that said 'you have to finish it. You'll be punished if you don't,' and stuff like that." Hearing this, Bloom began to get even more nervous. "Musa took the book from me and said she would burn it and it'll all be over." Layla groaned and flopped back into her chair.

"Of course. Of course she did!" Layla mumbled.

"This is bad. Really bad," Bloom muttered. "We need to tell Mrs. F. Something is really wrong with Musa!"

With that, the Winx sprang up from their seats and sprinted to Mrs. Faragonda's office to save their friend.

It was quite short, but this was all that I needed to cover. What's wrong with Musa!?

Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon!

Sorry again for the long wait. I feel awful.

Thank you so much for your continued love and support. I couldn't ask for better fans.

Lots of love,
