Chapter 25

One Chance

The Winx ran to Tecna's room with the book, but they were shocked at what they saw. Tecna was partially covered in blankets and sweat beaded down her face. Timmy was mumbling to himself, wishing for a miracle.

"You can stop worrying now; we found information about a cure for this." Flora patted his shoulder, he looked at her and she was astonished at the expression on his face. Even for the strong concern for his loved one, he couldn't continue to watch her suffer this sickness. However, he quickly hugged Flora when he heard they found a cure.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" he repeated over and over to himself in relief. Then he ran back to Tecna's bed and whispered in her ear, "You're going to be okay, I just know it."

"I'll ask Brandon and Sky take us to the Healing Kingdom, that's where the counterpotion is." Bloom took her cell phone and dialed.

"Please hurry; I don't know how much longer she can take this." Timmy felt Tecna's forehead again, she was cooling back down, fast. Knowing that, he quickly wrapped her in her blankets, but no matter what, she would still feel frozen. He just couldn't see her this way.

"Hang in there, just don't quit, because I won't give up on you." he whispered as he checked her pulse. He felt the pace of her heart beat as rapid as her changing body temperature.

A while later, Timmy watched his friends' Red Fountain ship fly off from Alfea's courtyard from the window. As dreadful and heartbreaking as it may be for him to accept was that agonizing fact that she might not pull through the night, that thought was eating him from the inside out. He fell to his knees and cinched his fists. As desperate as he was for a ray of hope, he was also mad, more than infuriated at the Technolord for summoning this creature to hurt the love of his life. If he did lose her, he would seek revenge, but the pain of a broken heart would still remain. Timmy hoped all he could that they would get back with the potion to save her in time.

Chapter 26

Attack in the Night

Timmy didn't do anything all day but stay by Tecna's side and make sure she was alright. He was relieved that she made it through the day, but he knew she couldn't last much longer. As the day faded into night, Timmy couldn't sleep, and he wasn't going to. Late at night, he heard a rustling outside and quickly took his laser out of his pocket. Suddenly, a green portal appeared in the room, and the Technolord stepped out.

"I've had it with you! She's been through enough!" Timmy pulled the leaver of his laser with angriness in his eyes.

"You and your pathetic girlfriend are finished, but before that I need her power. That is way I summoned the creature, so she would be to weak and helpless to even defend herself." the Technolord explained. Those insults were what wore Timmy's patience really thin, "She is not pathetic! And another thing, I am not letting you lay a finger on her!" After yelling in extraordinary rage, Timmy looked over to see Tecna move, then open her white eyes. She slowly and weakly got out of bed and used what little body strength she had to stand up. Timmy was so relieved that she was somewhat okay, but worried that the Technolord may try to capture her. Tecna used all the winx she had in her to transform into her Enchantix; unfortunately it took everything she had. She collapsed on the floor with exhaustion as her Enchantix faded, and shivered as she tried to get back up. Timmy immediately rushed to help her.

"Don't force yourself to fight, you're too sick." he replied. Tecna hardly shook her head; she thought that she wasn't giving herself a chance to prove her own confidence.

"Aw, isn't that cute. Your pitiful little girlfriend wants to defend herself." the Technolord cackled.

"Back off, she doesn't want to hear your insults!" Timmy shouted.

"And what are you going to do about it!?" the Technolord blasted him into the wall with his energy, he was knocked out. Unaware of what was happening, Tecna felt a forceful pull on her arm, and she and the Technolord vanished into the green portal.

A few minutes later, Timmy finally came to. However, he couldn't find Tecna anywhere. He repeatedly called out her name and frantically searched every room in the Winx's dormitory. As soon as he knew she was gone, he realized that the Technolord must have captured her. And in the condition she was in, anything could happen to her.

"No!" Timmy threw his arms in the air in anger at himself for letting this evil madman take the one girl who was most important to him.
