A/N: So I know that it's not Christmas yet, but I was originally going to upload this chapter in the middle of December. Anyways, have a great Christmas everyone!

The next morning, I get up and stretch my arms and legs before going into the bathroom. I do what I need to do while thinking about what I could give Marta, Kaija, and Ashley. I leave the bathroom while my eyes are closed, as I am thinking. My eyes open when someone tackles me onto my bed. I look at the person, and it's Marta. Marta has a smile on her face, and I can tell she is excited, as Christmas is her favorite holiday.

"Are you ready? Are you ready?" Marta asks excitedly. "Are you ready to open presents?" Marta asks. I nod just to get her to calm down. "Kaija and Ashley are already awake, so we are waiting for you." Marta says. "Oh yeah, the Winx are also in the living room. I told them I was going to wake you up, and they said not to get too excited. But I guess I couldn't control myself." Marta explains before giggling.

Marta gets off of me and helps me up. We exit my room and walk down the hall into the living room. Everybody turns to us and smiles. "Finally, you were taking forever to wake up. As Marta probably told you, she went to go wake you up. Marta didn't get too excited did she?" Kaija asks. I start to giggle, and this causes Marta to start giggling as well. "That answers my question." Kaija says. Marta and I stop giggling and walk over to everyone.

We begin to open presents while talking. Most of the presents I got were video games, courtesy of everybody, especially Tecna. The rest of my presents were some drawing supplies, I got those from Marta, Kaija, and Ashley. Eventually, the presents were gone, and the only people who did not get any presents from me are Marta, Kaija, and Ashley. "Hey Makayla, where are our presents? Are they invisible or something?" Marta asks.

I stand up, and Marta, Kaija, and Ashley do the same. "They are um...in my room. Follow me." I answer. I take Marta's hand and we practically run to my room with Kaija and Ashley following. I close the door once they are in. "I don't have any physical gifts that you can hold, but I do have this for you." I say. I lean into Marta and kiss her passionately. I can sense the others' arousal increasing. I stop and kiss Kaija passionately, and last but not least, I kiss Ashley passionately.

I lean away from Ashley and smirk. "Also this." I say. I point the palms of my hands towards them, and a blue light surrounds them. The blue light circles around them and goes into their bodies. I can feel the power coming from them and I smile. "I hope you like it. I gave you the abilities I currently have. We can communicate mentally now. Before, I could only tell you things and you couldn't respond mentally. But now, we can talk to each other if we can't say it in person." I explain.

I think for a few seconds as the others wait for me to continue. "Also, that light blue hole I can create, you guys can create it too. You just need to focus on an object that you want to see through, such as a door or a wall. It will start out as a few flashes of light, but it will become a hole. Don't be afraid to use this ability around the Winx. Only vampires can see the hole, so you will be fine. I explain. I sense Marta has a question. "Yes Marta?" I ask.

"What about the ability where you can see through another person's eyes? Do we have that ability too?" Marta asks. I nod. "Does it only work on vampires?" Marta asks. I shake my head. "How?" Marta asks. "You tried it on me, and it worked. You could see through my eyes, and you had a blue glow to them. You had to make physical contact with me the first few times, but for the last time, you could do it when we were not in the same room." Marta explains.

"I used it on you because I knew you would want to help. It works on everybody. Your eyes will always glow a blue color when you use this ability, and the person you use it on will not know you are using it on them, unless you tell them that you are. Since you guys are new, you will need to practice these abilities. But I'm sure you will become pros with these abilities in no time." I explain. "Any more questions?" I ask. The others shake their heads.

I notice Marta looking at the door, and I see a few flashes. A light blue hole appears and all of us are looking at it. We see the Winx walking down the hall towards their rooms. I grow a sad expression and sit on my bed as I think about tomorrow. Marta notices this as she is leaving with the others. Ashley turns around. "I'll catch up with you guys later." Marta says. Ashley turns back around and Marta closes the door. "Do you want to talk about it?" Marta asks gently.

Marta sits in front of me as I prepare to speak. "December 26th is the day when something terrible happened. On that day, my entire family was killed." I begin. Marta's eyes grew wide. "But my family was killed by vampires. I was a vampire at that time, and I was scared, I couldn't do anything. I wanted to fight, but I was easily outnumbered, and I could have died if I tried to fight. I miss my family very much, and I am usually extremely quiet on that day." I explain.

Marta hugs me as I feel tears beginning to run down my face. "I will always be there for you. Whether it is minor or major, I will always be there." Marta says. "I'm sorry if I upset you, but I need to ask. A few weeks ago, when you were having those weird dreams, you said you wanted to go home and see your family. But now you are telling me that your family is dead. What does this mean?" Marta asks.

"I don't open up to people about my family, but you have gotten past my walls, and I trust you with my life. It upsets me when I have to talk about my family, so I lie and say that my family is alive. That is usually all I would say on December 26th. I will not talk to anybody on that day and I will ignore everyone. But I do have an exception for some people, including you." I explain. Marta and I stop hugging.

"We are your family now. We love you and nothing will ever change that." Marta says. "But I can tell that you want to be alone right now." Marta adds before leaving. I lay down and start to think. I kind of wonder if I should have also told Marta about what I do on December 26th if my feelings get out of control. Oh well, too late now. I guess we will have to wait until tomorrow to find out.

My family is the last thing I see before falling asleep.
