Chapter 12
Roxy was groaning in her sleep causing the little light blue and white bunny sleeping in a basket near the head of her bed to wake up. The bunny yawned before it slowly stood up and jumped out of the basket. The bunny climbed up onto the bed and started to shake Roxy to wake her up.
After a few moments Roxy's violet eyes opened and looked at the bunny. Before Roxy began to move a few tears formed in her eye fell from her eyes onto her pillow. She slowly sat up and grabbed the bunny up into a hug. As Roxy released the bunny from her hug she could see the sadness in the big brown eyes looking up at her.
"I know you miss her too Kiko." Roxy said sadly.
A Croatian Bloodhound with brown fur and white paws with pitch black eyes wearing a dark red collar with silver studs walked over and placed his head down on Roxy's lap.
"Thanks Artu I love you too." Roxy said as she rubbed the head of the dog.
As Roxy sat there rubbing both Artu and Kiko a knock was heard coming from her bedroom door. She sat Kiko on the bed before walking over to open the door. When she did a woman with dark violet eyes and long brown hair that reached the back of her knees wearing a green dress was standing outside the door.
"Is everything okay dear?" Morgana asked after the door was open, "I could hear you from downstairs."
"I was reliving the day we lost Bloom again." Roxy said as she looked down toward the floor.
Morgana took a step into her daughter's room and wrapped both arms around her. She stood there like that for a few moments while Roxy quietly shed tears. When she pulled back Morgana looked and saw the tears still flowing from Roxy's eyes.
"I know it's hard but you need to be strong for Bloom." Morgana said before she pulled Roxy back into a hug.
After another few moments the two separated again.
"Would you like to come and talk with our visitor?" Morgana asked as she looked at Roxy.
"Who's here?" Roxy asked.
"Queen Nebula." Morgana said, "I needed to let her know what happened to Bloom."
"Not right now, I want to be alone." Roxy said, "I'm going to take a walk."
"Are you sure you want to leave the house?" Morgana asked.
"Yeah I've been in my room for about a week now." Roxy said.
Morgana gave her daughter another quick hug before walking with her to the front door. Kiko and Artu followed both people outside the house. Morgana looked down at the two animals and smiled.
"Now you two keep an eye on her." Morgana said.
Kiko climbed up on Artu's back. The two pets followed behind Roxy as she walked down the street. After reaching the park she walked over to a bench and sat down. Kiko climbed onto Roxy's lap as she started to rub Artu's head.
"Roxy!" A voice yelled.
Roxy looked over and saw a young man with short somewhat spiky black hair and black eyes running toward her. He was wearing a light blue short sleeved shirt with a collar opened over a dark red long sleeve shirt that had a dark blue stripe on the chest. He also had on a pair of dark blue jeans, and a pair of reddish purple high tops.
"Hi Andy." Roxy said when the young man finally finished making his way over before she looked back toward the ground.
"How long have you been back?" Andy asked, "I talked to your parents and they told me that you where going to school in another city."
"I've been back for about a week now." Roxy said without even looking up at Andy.
"Where are Bloom and the other girls?" Andy asked, "I've gone by their shop a few times and it has been closed. I've even called them a few times and they haven't picked up."
Roxy continued to sit on the bench holding onto Kiko. Andy saw that she was not moving her head to look up at him. He bent down and saw Kiko in Roxy's arms and looked into her blood shot eyes.
"What's wrong?" Andy asked as he placed his right hand on Roxy's shoulder.
When he touched her Andy could feel Roxy flinch a little from the touch.
"Roxy?" Andy asked.
Roxy turned to look up at Andy with tears in her eyes. He sat down on the bench next to Roxy after seeing the sadness in her face.
"This is not going to be good news is it?" Andy asked.
"Bloom's." Roxy choked out, "She's dead."
Andy almost fell over when he heard what Roxy had just said.
"What!" Andy yelled, "What happened?"
"First let me tell you this Andy." Roxy said as she turned her vision toward the ground again, "Bloom had magical powers. She was a fairy just like the other girls, so am I."
"There is no such thing as magic and fairies." Andy said.
Roxy touched Artu. The dog glowed for a few seconds.
"What was that?" Andy asked.
"She's telling the truth." Artu said.
"What!" Andy said loudly, "Did your dog just talk?"
"Andy I am the fairy of animals." Roxy said, "I have a spell that can let animals speak like people."
As Andy and Roxy continued to talk they did not notice that a wall of fog was growing behind them. After a few minutes the fog slowly began to flow in around both peoples legs.
"Is that fog?" Andy asked as the fog continued to grow around them.
"Andy, be careful this is no regular fog." Roxy said as she stood up.
"How can you tell?" Andy asked.
"Think it's the middle of the day and a fog is rolling in." Roxy said, "Artu you and Kiko stay near Andy."
"Ok Roxy." Artu said as he moved near Andy.
"Magical Winx!" Roxy called out.
Andy was surprised to see Roxy in her fairy form before the fog became too thick for him to see. He stood up and took a step in the direction that Roxy was standing before being stopped by Artu.
Roxy tried to see if she could tell where Andy, Artu, and Kiko where. She never noticed the person walk up behind her. She jumped when the person touched her shoulder. Quickly turning around she saw a young girl standing in the fog with a smile on her face.
"Who are you?" Roxy asked.
"My name is Misty." The young girl said, "I am here to take you to meet someone."
"What if I don't want to go?" Roxy asked.
"I have been ordered to get you to come by force if need be." Misty said, "I would rather not but I will attack your friend and those two animals with him if you don't come."
"Then I guess I have no choice." Roxy said.
"Come with me." Misty said as she turned around and walked into the fog.
Misty guided Roxy to an area in the trees not far away from where she had just been sitting. When they arrived a black portal was swirling in the air.
"Please step through the portal." Misty said.
Roxy nodded her head before she stepped into the portal. A few seconds later Misty followed Roxy into the portal. After the portal closed the fog in the park quickly faded into nothingness.
"Roxy where are you?" Andy yelled out after he noticed that Roxy was gone.
After getting no response Artu looked up at Andy.
"We need to go tell Roxy's mother what just happened." Artu said as he walked over to let Kiko jump on his back.
"What good would that do?" Andy asked.
"Roxy's mom is a fairy also, she can help find Roxy." Artu said as he started to walk away from Andy.
"Fine then lets go." Andy said as he began to run toward the entrance of the park.
As Roxy stepped out of the portal she noticed a small lake not far ahead of her surrounded by trees. Misty ran past Roxy toward the lake. As Misty neared the lake another person stepped out from the tree line.
Roxy continued to the lake and watched as Misty sat down at the shore line and removed her shoes. Misty placed her feet into the lake as she was sitting there. Roxy gasped when the other girl turned her head to look down at Misty.
"Raquel is that you?" Roxy asked as she slowly walked up.
"Do I know you?" Raquel asked.
"We meet one time before." Roxy said.
"I sorry I don't remember meeting you." Raquel said.
"She lost her memories of that time." A voice from behind Roxy said.
Roxy turned around and gasped at the sight that she was looking at. The person motioned for Roxy to follow her. After walking to a different area around the lake, both girls sat down near the shore line.
"Is that really you Bloom?" Roxy asked after a few moments of quietness.
"Yes Roxy it is me." Bloom said as she dipped her hand into the water and started to move it around.
"But how?" Roxy asked.
"During the battle with Darkar my powers created a barrier around both me and Raquel before that explosion happened." Bloom said, "During that time we where both teleported to Andros."
"Have you let Sky know that you're ok?" Roxy asked.
"No." Bloom said, "But that is not what I am here to talk to you about."
"What did you want to talk about then?" Roxy asked.
Bloom removed her hand from the water and looked at Roxy with her crimson red eyes.
"Roxy, do you feel like the others really have accepted you?" Bloom asked.
"What do you mean of course they do." Roxy said.
"Do you trust them?" Bloom asked.
"Of course I do." Roxy said.
"You see that girl over there with Raquel?" Bloom asked as she looked over at the other two girls.
"Yeah what about her?" Roxy asked as she looked over at the others.
"Layla's father had her mother killed." Bloom said.
"What!" Roxy exclaimed.
Bloom turned her vision to look at the water as she sat there.
"I plan on taking over the magical realms." Bloom said.
"That's insane!" Roxy said loudly.
Bloom giggled as she stood up. Bloom took a few steps toward the other two girls before stopping and looking back at Roxy. As she stood there Bloom watched as Roxy got up off of the ground and made her way over.
"I have already taken over Andros." Bloom said as she turned around and started to walk toward the other girls. "I have already fought the others and beat them."
Bloom giggled a little when she saw the Roxy's face after she turned around.
"Don't worry I did not kill them." Bloom said, "But I could have easily killed them."
Bloom and Roxy continued to walk together until they arrived with the other two.
"I will take over the realms and there is nothing that anyone can do about it." Bloom said as she turned to look at Roxy, "You can go back and even tell the others my plan." A smile started to grow on Bloom's face as she stood there, "I will even tell you that my next target is going to be Solaria."
"Why did you tell me all of this?" Roxy asked.
"Roxy I want you to join us." Bloom said.
"Join you; you know that I can't join you!" Roxy yelled.
"There is nothing that anyone can do to stop me; I just don't want to have to fight you that is why I want you to join us." Bloom said as she turned around.
Bloom raised her right hand in front of her. A few seconds later a dark portal like the one in the park formed. Bloom motioned for Raquel and Misty to enter the portal.
"Just think about what I said." Bloom said as she entered the portal.
A few seconds later after the portal closed and Roxy stood there for a few moments. She started to fly up into the sky a few moments later and saw that she was just outside of Gardenia. It did not take her long to fly her way to her house.
"Where did you go?" Morgana asked, "Andy came to the house with Kiko and Artu and told us what happened in the park."
"Mom Bloom is alive." Roxy said.
"What!" Morgana said.
