"Darcy?"

"What happened?"

"Pack up. Apparently we are going on a trip. The Winx are coming and don`t go into a hissy fit. I do not like it either but this is our only chance probably to get away from this …. place" Icy ran her finger along the spine of multiple books with disinterest.

"How are you feeling?" Darcy looked at Icy with surprise and then looked to the door.

"Okay. Uh I um…did anything happen last night?" Darcy asked hesitantly.

"Yeah. You had another nightmare. Musa got caught in the aftermath"

"Damn fairy. I am going to need to record what I sing next time. Do you know what it is Icy?" Darcy began to collect her books and cloths into a duffel bag.

"No. I don`t know but you sing it enough without knowing, especially when you are distressed" Icy helped place charms in the bag as she thought of how to word her next sentence.

"Darcy. I honestly believe you have too much hidden, Now I know at cloud tower we are to keep secrets because we are witches but like Ms. Griffin said, too much kept in the dark can have serious consequences. You need to tell me, Stormy, or someone about your nightmares. The song you sing is deadly and-"

"I know it`s deadly Icy. I made it. And the secrets I hold involve you and Stormy. I am bound to never tell them so just leave me alone about the subject" Darcy grabbed the packed bag and left.

-Stormy—

"Now is it a this end of year or next year or-"

"It is one year starting tomorrow Stormy. Are you done packing?" Asked Flora

"Uh…do I have to answer that?" Asked Stormy.

"You`re not even packed yet?" Asked Layla.

Stormy gave a sheepish grin. She began to collect her things often scratching her neck. Flora and Layla watched as Stormy moved swiftly through all her things.

"Stormy, tomorrow the color will be removed as well as the headbands on Icy and Darcy. IS there anything we should know when they are removed?" Asked Layla.

Stormy paused before she placed the last item into her bag. She stared at the two fairies as I they were stupid.

"Well I am sure that from what you learned so far, there is an 80 percent chance a magical discharge would occur. So you might want to put those wings on before that happens" Stormy said.

Icy

Bloom and Stella entered Icy`s room to find it a mess.

"Did a blizzard come in here or what?" asked Stella.

"I don`t know Stella. Let`s see I Icy needs help" Bloom and Stella began searching for Icy calling out to her.

"Will you stupid pixies shut up!" shouted Icy.

"What happened in here?" Asked Bloom.

"What does it look like Bloom. A power discharge. It will melt in a few seconds. So mind telling me where we are going?" Asked Icy as she began to pack.

"Like we said it`s a-"

"I don`t do well with surprises, so unless you want something frozen you better tell me." Threatened Icy.

"Solaria. It is the closest dimension and also has a great library to use. You see we-"

"Stop. I don`t need excuses" Icy interrupted Stella, "Solaria will not be good or Darcy nor I."

"okay" said Stella. Bloom began to look around the room a bit trying to help Icy but ended up being shoved towards the door.

"stay out of my way Bloom."

"Fine. I am going to meet up with the others. We`ll be near the main entrance." Stella stayed behind and Icy left her.

"Hey Icy?" Began Stella.

"What?" Icy placed the final items into her bag and stood by the bed, arms crossed in front of her.

"I know you said that the dragon lame belonged to you and your sisters but what made ruling so appealing to you?" Asked Stella as she moved to sit on the bed.

"Well it was the fact that we could tell people what to do, it`s like having the ultimate power. Although, I guess…" Stella watched as something changed in Icy`s eyes, they became dull as If a cloud was would over her.

"Ruling was at first appealing but it seemed that all rulers or anyone who could tell us what to do and had the power for it, became enemies in our eyes. " As Icy talked, Stella noticed that it was not something covering her eyes, it was the fact that Icy`s eyes seemed to become clearer the more she talked. Stella held her breath, hoping that Icy would continue talking.

"I remember …. I think. A white room, a cage, people with masks, and sharp tools. Blood. I was a lab experiment to them. I…" Icy`s eyes became the ice blue color once more as it seemed that whatever it was, took over again.

"Icy?" Stella asked hesitantly her arm out stretched.

"Wha? What happened. Agh." Icy clutched her head in pain. After a few moments, it passed and Icy acted like the Witch Stella was used to.

"Let`s go pixie. The others are probably waiting for us" Icy and Stella left the room and met the others near the entrance.

"Now the magic suppressors will be taken off unless anyone objects." Said the entrance guard. There were no objectives, but the Winx did transform into their fairy outfits.

"Smart bugs." Said Darcy. Stormy was the first to have the collar off as Icy and Darcy bullied the guard to do. As the collar lost contact, a strong electrical pulse was released causing the lights to flicker. Darcy was next and that caused a temporary blindness for everyone. The last was Icy. As the guard touched the headband, his wrist was caught by Icy.

"I recommend you get Stella or bloom to do this as you would freeze to death" she said, a smirk on her face at the guards reaction.

Bloom shuddered as she touched the headband, she felt her fingers go numb, before her fire put feeling back into it. She slowly removed the headband, increasing her magic as the temperature dropped. Once it was of they all left with Stella leading.
