Authors Notes: Now, just as a warning. This chapter is what I am going to call a 'Bonus Chapter'. It was not originally planned, but I wanted to focus a bit more on Stella's fall into darkness. As a reminder, those that want the gory details of Tecna's death can find it in the 'Directors Cut' spin off which is rated M.

Crimson Flame

Chapter 21

As Stella stood there, she couldn't take her eyes off the bloodied corpse of Tecna. Even after seeing it and knowing who did it, she still didn't feel any sympathy for the technological fairy. The sun fairy knew it was wrong to be so callous about her friends death. Were they even considered friends anymore? She wasn't sure, as the rift between them grew wider and wider.

"Come with me Stella." Flora spoke softly as she guided the young fairy away from the crime scene. The sun fairy still did not take her eyes off the body until the nature fairy had lead her out of sight.

Flora didn't say anything as the two of them walked down the hall way, slowly making their way into the quad area of the school. She could see the sun starting to dip below the horizon, giving off the fiery glow over the hills and trees. Making it look like the world was on fire. The two continued to walk in silence until they were just on the outskirts of the school campus. Stella quickly recognized the place, it was were they had saw Bloom laying under the tree when they had forsaken to her, reading some book that she couldn't understand.

The nature fairy stopped by the tree and gently laid her hand on it, as if the tree had something to tell her. After a moment of silence she turned to look at the sun fairy.

"You don't feel sorry one bit for Tecna do you?" She bluntly asked.

Stella was a little taken a back by the sudden question, but slowly shook her head. "I know I should, that I should be in grief because of her death. But I can't."

Flora was silent for a few more seconds, as she took in what the sun fairy had just told her. She was contemplating how to continue, as it appeared the little fairy was ready for her encounter with Bloom and Musa.

"Do you hate me for feeling this way?" Stella asked, a little concerned.

"Of course not." The nature fairy smiled as she turned to face the blonde girl. "Do you trust me Stella?"

"Wh-what kind of question is that?" The sun fairy ask, a little confused. "Of course I trust you. More then Faragonda that's for sure."

"Good." Flora smiled, thus confusing Stella even more. Slowly the nature fairy moved over towards the other girl.

"Flora?"

"Would you like to see Bloom?" She asked with a grin, as she locked eyes with Stella.

The sun fairies eyes widened in shock, she was completely confused and a little worried about how Flora was asking. She did want to see the fire fairy on more friendly circumstances, but she was a little cautious as to why Flora of all people was asking her this.

"Do you know where she is?" She found herself asking, despite her better judgment.

Flora closed her eyes for a moment before opening them again, exposing her now crimson eyes; locking them onto Stella whom involuntarily took a step back in shock. The nature fairy smiled as she gauged the blonde girls reactions, to her credit she didn't show fear but rather surprise.

"You know where she is?"

"Of course, I've always known." Flora answered as she extended her hand out to the sun fairy, who cautiously took it.

"Hold on tight." She smiled as she brought Stella in closer to her before the two of them disappeared into a cloud of mist.

Bloom

Their job done, Bloom had decided to take the music fairy to the vampire night club the Trix had taken her to before. It didn't take long for the small group of girls to arrive in Gardenia in front of the decrepit building, as the Trix were invited to come along so they could catch the gory details of what happened.

The first thing that the fire fairy noticed was that there was a different door man then the first time she arrived. Obviously he must have been new as well, as he didn't recognize the marking on Icy's wrist. None the less, Bloom convinced the ignorant bouncer to let them in, stating that they were with her. The girls took their usual seats at the table towards the back, the same table Bloom and the Trix originally sat at that fateful night it all changed for her.

"What happened with the other guy?" Bloom asked the waitress as she approached their table, gesturing at the bouncer as she did so.

"A group of newborns tried to force their way in. He was able to kill them all, but one of them got a lucky shot in before they died." The waitress explained.

"This new one is clueless on who he should respect." Icy stated with a flash of annoyance.

The waitress chuckled in response as she looked at the small group. "The usual I presume?"

"Yes please." Bloom confirmed, slipping the vampire a small tip.

With orders and tip in hand, the waitress walked off to prepare the drinks. It didn't take long for her to return with a tray full of two goblets and three glasses. Due to the Trix sisters being regulars at this place, and because of whom they were associated with. The owner of the establishment authorized some normal beverages to be brought in. After serving the drinks, the waitress left without a word to serve the other tables.

"So," Darcy began. "Are you going to give us the details?"

"Let's just say none of the students will ever feel safe again." Musa grinned, as she took a small drink from her goblet.

"What she means is that we dissected her, and left her hung up within her own room." Bloom explained in a bit more detail as she took a drink from her own goblet, still preferring the taste from a fresh kill.

The girls continued to talk amongst themselves and having a good time. Watching as the people moved to the dance floor when the band took to the stage and began to perform.

Flora

The nature fairy and Stella materialized just outside the night club. Stella was in between excited and afraid as she had just learned that another one of her most trusted friends was a vampire as well.

"Come." Flora said as she lead the sun fairy towards the old building.

Stella only nodded in reply and followed close behind the nature fairy. The two approached the door, once reaching it Flora knocked on the door. Almost immediately the door opened, exposing the young bouncer. The nature fairy moved to enter but was blocked by the bouncer. Flora gave him a warning glare, one that he did not heed as he continued to block her way.

"You must be new, so I am going to give you one warning." Flora snarled as her eyes flashed crimson. "Move out of my way."

"Tch, you think you can order me around?" He ignorantly replied.

Flora gestured for the sun fairy to take a step back, returning her dark gaze upon the bouncer. Casually she brought up her hand, triggering a series of vines to sprout out from underneath the unfortunate bouncer. He didn't have time to react as the vines grabbed hold of his limbs and proceeded to rip his limbs off, causing him to scream out in pain catching everyone's attention in the night club.

As the vines kept his torso and head suspended in the air. Flora approached what was left of him, turning his head to face her.

"I warned you." She grinned as she grabbed hold of his neck and proceeded to rip off the bouncers head.

She dismissed her spell, letting the vines sink back into the floor. Dropping the corpse with a heavy thud as she turned back to a now terrified Stella. Flora gave the sun fairy a simple gesture to follow her. After what felt like a few moments, Stella conceded and followed the nature fairy into the establishment.

As the two entered the room, nearly everyone in the night club stopped what they were doing and bowed before Flora. Even the band had stopped playing to do so. Flora gave a simple gesture for them to continue as her eyes spied Bloom and the girls at the table, leading Stella over to them.

"Hello girls." Flora greeted as she approached the table, the sun fairy close behind her.

"Mistress." The Trix sisters bowed their heads in respect, as Musa and Bloom returned the ancient vampires greeting.

"This is a surprise Stella." Bloom commented as she spied the blonde girl hiding behind Flora.

"Flora invited me along." Stella explained, cautiously looking around.

"Welcome to the dark side." Stormy commented.

"Indeed, we have cookies." Bloom put in with a laugh as she moved over so that Flora and Stella could sit down as well.

Flora motioned for Stella to sit down first, trapping the blonde girl between the two vampires. The sun fairy was still a little nervous being in this place, especially after what she had just witness the normal gentle nature fairy do to the poor bouncer that they were just now cleaning up.

"So, when is sunshine here going to be changed?" Icy asked with a smirk. "And by whom I wonder."

"I… I don't know." Stella stammered. She knew that she wasn't returning to Alfea normal, but she never put much thought into how or when it would happen.

"Don't worry, it doesn't hurt." Musa reassured the sun fairy. "It actually felt very good when Bloom changed me."

"So she changed you the night she took you after the battle?" Stella asked.

"Actually, about two weeks before that." Bloom answered with a grin. "We ran into each at the Pixie Dust."

"I was the one who told her what we had planned for that night." The music fairy admitted.

"What's it like?" The blonde girl asked. "To be a vampire."

"Amazing, imagine all your senses increased to beyond super human proportions." Bloom explained with a grin. She could see the wheels turning in the sun fairies head, she was considering it. This would give them another ally.

Stella was silent for a moment, as she took in the answers. She knew that her next words were forever going to alter her life.

" I want you to change me Bloom. "She said softly, a little uncertainty sounded in her voice as she looked to Bloom. It was only fitting that if she was going to do this, it should be her best friend to do it.

Without saying a word, Bloom obliged to the sun fairies request.

Additional Authors Notes: So for those that voted for it, Stella has been changed. Like I said, this entire chapter was not originally planned to be in the story. However, I felt I could sneak it in and write it in a way so that it would not derail the future chapters. Which I hope I succeeded in doing.

I hope everyone enjoyed this ninja update, and as always, please leave your thoughts and comments in the reviews.
