Author's Notes: Alright, here is my second "Bonus Chapter". Again, this chapter was not originally planned to be in the story, however I knew there was going to be questions about what is going to happen to Stormy? Will she be brought back? Is she going to be a vampire? And of course the most important question, are there cookies?

Nentone - I am surprised you didn't recognized Griffins death as Sindels fatality in MK9. For shame!

FloraLover246 - Don't worry, I am not finished with Sky yet. I do have something particularly special for him in one of the next chapters.

RossaVincenza - I would think this fic would be closer to Queen of the Damned then Twilight. None the less, I am glad you are enjoying the story thus far.

Now, this chapter does allow me to do something I been wanting to do. With that said, there is going to be TWO special guest appearances. Some may already see it coming, but enjoy!

Crimson Flame

Chapter 25

Flora

The nature fairy stalked down the hallway as she contemplated what she had just learn. The mission at Cloud Tower was a success, but it came with a heavy price. Stormy had been killed in the attack, and Bloom was forced to turn Icy in order to save the ice witches life. She was upset about that, but she could not fault Bloom. She saw how much the fire fairy cared for the ice witch, even with their shaky past. Flora also knew from Darcy that Icy had given her consent to be turned.

That brought her to her next concern. What could be done with Stormy? Bloom had asked if there was anything that could be done to bring her back, and sadly Flora herself lacked knowledge in that department. However, she knew of someone who excelled in such spells, but it would require a trip. This posed another problem for her. How to make the trip without causing Faragonda and the others to be suspicious of her activities. Not to mention she would also have to bring Stella as well.

To her credit the blonde vampire had done exceptionally well keeping her temper under control during the old witches plans to kill Bloom. She couldn't help but snicker at the fact that none of them knew about Musa and Stella; not to mention herself. Her thoughts drifting back to the issue at hand, she knew it would be trouble if she left Stella behind.

As she continued to ponder on how to approach it she gazed around the school at the remaining students. Some of which were from Red Fountain and the last remaining 'light' witches from Cloud Tower whom had managed to escape Musa. That is when the idea hit her. It was so obvious and easy to explain. She would simply tell the headmistress that her and Stella simply wish to see their family before the final battle. With the plan newly formed in her mind, the ancient vampire set off to find Stella.

She didn't have to wonder where the sun fairy was. It seemed she was still feeling guilty over how she treated Bloom. That is why she could always be found under the large tree atop the hill that over looked the meadow. The same hill that she had seen Bloom sitting under alone, when they had rejected her.

"Stella." Flora called out as she approached the blonde fairy. She waited until Stella turned to face her before continuing. "Bloom requires our aid and we will need to travel."

"Faragonda will get suspicious of our sudden disappearance won't she?"

"I have got that covered. It is a time of war after all, and it would be feasible that we would want to visit our families before we die right?" Flora smiled as she saw the realization wash over the sun fairies face.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Stella asked with a grin as she and Flora set out to find the headmistress.

It didn't take them long to find the old witch, whom was discussing the preparations that was required.

"Mrs. Faragonda." Flora started as she approached the elder woman. "Stella and I would like to visit our homes before the next attack."

The headmistress looked to the two girls and let out a soft sigh. "I do not think that would be a good idea right now. We don't know when the next attack is coming."

"I know, and that is why I think now is the best time." Flora continued. "We haven't seen any sign of Bloom since the news of Red Fountain and Cloud Towers fall. Bloom is not stupid, she is no doubt preparing herself and consolidating her forces for a final assault here."

"She does have a point. It has been almost a week since we have seen any activity from her." Brandon added, giving her girlfriend a slight wink as he sided with her and Flora.

"Thank you Brandon." Stella smiled.

"Besides Mrs. Faragonda, some of us may not survive this. Is it too much to ask to visit our families before our last day comes?"

"I suppose not." Faragonda said defeated. "Please be quick and safe. I can not afford to send an escort right now."

"We understand." Stella stated. "Thank you Mrs. Faragonda."

"Be careful Stella, and return in one piece."

"Don't worry about me. I'm stronger then I look you know." She commented back towards Brandon.

"We better get going." Flora said, turning to leave the room as Stella quickly followed.

Bloom

"Flora and Stella are on their way here." Bloom announced as she entered the throne room, where Stormy's body lie on a table in the center of the room. A protective spell cast to preserve it from any further natural decay.

"I hope she knows of something that can be done." Musa commented. "It just doesn't feel complete here without her."

"I know." The fire fairy agreed, looking to Icy who had been quiet the entire time.

Slowly Bloom made her way over to where the ice witch sat and sat down next to her, Placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. Icy gave a soft smile to the red head. She knew they were going to do all they could to bring her sister back, and that meant a lot to her. No words needed to be said between them.

"We don't have a lot of time." Flora announced as she and Stella entered the room, catching every ones attention. "Only a day or two so we will have to work fast."

"Do you know what can be done?" Icy asked as she stood up from where she was sitting.

"Not personally." Flora admitted. "But I know someone who can. We will take her to him."

"Where?"

"Earth."

"When do we leave?" Darcy asked from the doorway, just returning from Cloud Tower.

"Now." Was all Flora said as she moved towards the body of Stormy. Gently, she picked up the storm witches body and looked to the others before she made her way out of the throne room, into a separate room where runes were in place.

"As I said, we will need to travel to earth. There is someone there who can help." The ancient vampire explained as she laid the body in the center of the runic circle. The others quickly followed suit.

"It's been awhile since I used one of these, so hang on." Flora commented as she began the incantation as the runes etched into the floor began to glow a pale blue as light began to fill the room. In a sudden flash, they were gone.

Earth

The six girls landed with a thud in the empty park, but had managed to keep their balance. Bloom cautiously looked around to see if anyone had seen them. Luckily for them, the park was completely empty as dusk was starting to set in. As the fire fairy looked around she let out a small groan.

"You have got to be kidding me." She said. "Gardenia?"

"Small world isn't it?" Flora joked as Musa and Stella giggled lightly.

Icy and Darcy picked up their sister. Slinging an arm over each shoulder as they awaited their mistress to direct them where to go. With a subtle signal, the ancient vampire led them through the city, until they reached a large structure on the outskirts of the city. By now the sun had completely set as they approached the large door. Flora reached up and pounded the large knocker, letting the knocks echo throughout the house.

They didn't have to wait long before the door creaked open, exposing a young pink haired girl.

"Yes?" She asked, eyeing the six girls.

"I need to speak with him." Flora answered.

The young girl looked over the group once more before opening the door to allow them in. After they all entered, she closed the door and locked it.

"Lay her down over there." She said to Darcy and Icy as she gestured towards a large sofa. "I will go tell him you're here."

"Thank you Roxy." Flora smiled.

The pink haired girl gave a polite bow before departing the room to summon her master. A few moments later a middle aged man came into the room, the young girl following closely behind him. Upon seeing his guests he laughed out loud as he approached Flora, bringing her into a hug.

"Welcome to my home." The man greeted the group of girls, in a thick Transylvanian accent.

"It's good to see you again Vlad." Flora smiled. "Or should I call you Dracula?"

Vlad simply chuckled as he bowed in greeting to the other girls in the room.

"As Florales has no doubt told you, I am Vlad Tepes."

"It's Flora now." The nature fairy corrected.

"So what can I help you with?" He asked as he eyed the body laying on the couch. Looking to Flora he slowly moved over towards where Stormy lie.

"Do you know of anything that can help bring her back?" Musa asked.

"I do." He answered after a few minutes of silence. He then looked at Flora and then to Darcy. "But she will not be the same. She will be a vampire."

"I expected as much." Darcy answered letting her head drop.

"I am going to need blood. About two bodies worth." He commented.

"Does it have to be vampire blood or can it be anything?" Bloom asked, as if she had something in mind.

"No, human blood is best. It's more versatile."

Hearing her answer the fire fairy turned to leave only to be stopped by Flora who already had an idea what the red haired vampire was thinking. The nature fairy said nothing as she looked into Blooms eyes.

"I have to severe my ties to the human part of me. At least this way it will server a greater purpose." Bloom said.

Flora simply nodded and moved out of Blooms way to let her continue.

Once leaving the large house of Vlad, the fire fairy headed directly towards her adopted parents house. They would be perfect for this. As she had told Flora, she needed to severe the last ties she had with her humanity and this would also help with Stormy.

It didn't take her long to arrive, though she stopped short. She had half expected to see some Red Fountain students at the home, but as she surveyed the property she didn't see anyone. It appeared that even after all of this, the old witch didn't care for anyone outside of the school. Steeling her emotions, she approached the door and knocked.

Her mother was the first to reach the door. Needless to say she was shocked to see Bloom standing there, but was quick to notice her eyes as they burned a bright crimson red. Bloom wasted no time as she pinned the woman against the wall, forcing her to look into Blooms eyes.

"Obey." Was all that was said before her mothers eyes glazed over. Nodding in obedience. "Good, now stay here."

"Now, time for father." She grinned as she left her mother standing at the door.

She found the old man in the kitchen.

"Bloom? Is everything alright?" he immediately asked as he jumped up from the table.

"Everything is perfectly alright." She smiled as she stalked closer. "For me at least."

"Bloom?"

In an instant Bloom grabbed hold of him by the throat and held him up. Forcing him to look into her eyes, repeating the same spell she used on her mother. With both parents under her spell, she led them out the door. Stopping just on the other side of the street she turned around and launched multiple fireballs at the home, engulfing it into an inferno.

Her job down she continued to lead her bewitched parents to their doom.

Vlad's Estate

It had been just over two hours before Bloom returned with her parents. No words were exchanged as Vlad immediately relieved the fire fairy of her burden and lead the blissfully ignorant victims to another room where he had already set everything up for the ritual. Firmly securing the two in their positions, knowing that the hypnosis spell would be wearing off soon. He was right of course, as soon as he secured them both the spell broke.

He ignored the constant questions and screams as he continued to work. Motioning Roxy to follow his instructions as he placed a funnel under the older mans throat. The pink haired girl silently did the same, following her masters lead as she plunged her dagger into the woman's throat as the blood poured out down the funnel, forming around Stormy's body.

Outside the Room

The six girls waited in anticipation as Vlad worked the ritual to bring Stormy back. No one said a word as they waited. After nearly an hour the door finally opened. Immediately all of the girls jumped up, waiting to hear the news. Whether it be good or bad. However, they were not expecting to see Stormy standing at the door.

"Welcome back." Flora grinned as she approached the thunder witch, bringing her into a hug.

"It's great to be back." Stormy answered as she looked to Bloom. She understood the sacrifice the fire fairy made to make it possible to for her to be resurrected.

Soon after, Vlad and Roxy entered the room. Both looked a little exhausted from the ritual. Musa was the first to tackle him into a hug in thanks for everything, before moving over to Stormy's side.

"Thank you Vlad." Darcy said as she bowed her head in thanks, then she turned to Flora.

"Mistress, I would like for you to change me. So that I may join my sisters."

Silence once again filled the room as Flora slowly nodded her head and moved over to where Darcy was whom had already tilted her head and closed her eyes in wait for her mistress. Flora complied with the witches desires and accepted her neck, taking the rich crimson fluid down her throat before biting open her own wrist to give Darcy her own blood.

The magic witch accepted the vampires blood as she took it into her mouth. After the two were done, everyone waited for the transformation to begin. With the potency of Flora's blood, they didn't have to wait long as Darcy opened her now amber colored eyes.
