Disclaimer: I do not own Winx Club. Are you surprised?

Alright I'm writing this AN just hours before uploading chapter 9. So I don't know the reaction to it yet. Hopefully a good one. Anyway as you can see Bloom found herself in a bad situation. And her situation will only continue to be this way. Anyway don't worry too much for her just yet. Since there is a reason why Flora and the Winx Club are also mentioned in the characters. Also if you disliked my decision to make Lucy a smoker well again it's not gonna be too bad or too mentioned. I was on edge on that and might have edited that part had I had the time. Who knows maybe I'll edit that part out in the future. But if I won't it will be a plot point when it comes to Gloomix. But hopefully I'll get this chapter done by 2020 and not by 2021. But knowing me that I might fail at that. Anyway I'll complete one of the four goals when this is released. So if you haven't gotten this story to 40+ reviews by now please help me do that. It would be nice to complete all four of those goals. Now to the story.

Icy's pov

After our fun with Bloom we were again bored out of our minds. Darkar still hadn't given us the approval of getting the codex from red fountain. And while he was busy trying to find the location of the pixie village that left us with nothing to do. We could always go to torment some loser pixies or witches but that didn't really satisfy us that much anymore.

Maybe teach another lesson to Bloom about being a true witch. While enjoying seeing her squirm as she throws away all of her values. She could give us some entertainment for a while but just like everyone else she would probably get boring soon. Maybe call her up one more time? After all after we take the codex from those red fountain losers we will be the three most wanted witches on the magical universe. Might as well enjoy the advantages of civilian life while it lasts.

I heard footsteps and turning around Stormy approached me. "Icy. LD is calling for us." She simply said and started to walk towards Darkars throne room. I followed her. Darkar must have something important to say.

Once I made it to the throne room both Darcy and Stormy were already there. Once I stood next to Stormy and Darcy Darkar who was sitting in his throne stood up. "Now that you are all here it is time to advance our plans. Now is the time to get the first piece of the codex." He announced. I felt that feeling that had been lost during this dullness. The feeling of being alive. Something most witches cannot understand. But for us the "normal life" was no way to live. Advancing plans to rule the world and causing misery to others is what keeps us going. What gives us our strength.

Looking at Darcy's and especially Stormy's expressions they would definitely agree with me on this. "Finally I can kick some of those loser specialists butts." Stormy said beyond excited. However my thoughts about Bloom started resurfacing when it came to this.

"I have a better proposition." I said to Darkar.

"Tell me about it." He answered in his polite manner.

I turned from looking at him to Stormy and Darcy. "Why should we start with the weakest place to get the codex." I started and turned back to looking at Darkar. "The codex's are held in four places. Alfea, Cloud Tower, Red Fountain and the pixie village. Now the pixie village is obviously off limits for now since we don't know where it is. So that leaves the other three. And out of them red fountain is the weakest. And we can easily get the codex there. We already went there and had you not called us off we would have it." I explained to them.

"So what are you exactly proposing?" Darkar asked me inquiring further details.

"What I'm saying is that right now they are not anticipating us. They don't know about us. So they aren't defending their codex's. But the moment we get the first codex they are going to be guarding them more fiercely. So instead of starting with the weakest we should start with the strongest and get the codex from there while their guard is down. That will make this whole lot easier."

Darkar nodded and smiled. "I agree with this. But which one should we target. Alfea or Cloud Tower?" He asked us.

"Alfea definitely. I can't wait to kick some pixies butts." Stormy said with an excited voice. Darcy also nodded at this plan showing her approval.

I shook my head at this. "No we should start with Cloud Tower for two reasons. One witches are obviously stronger than pixies. The only ones in Alfea that will give us any trouble are the staff. But by getting Cloud Tower first before they anticipate it we'll make sure we caught Griffin off guard." I said and looked at the two witches. "And the second one is quite simple. We already have someone in Cloud Tower that can help us get this Codex."

Both Stormy and Darcy looked confused at first until they realized who I was talking about. "You mean we'll use Bloom to get the Codex. That's a brilliant idea." Darcy said.

"Well looks like it's decided then. We'll get the first codex from Cloud Tower." Darkar stated ending the meeting.

We then left the throne room and went to an another room in the cavern to talk about the plan. "So how are we going to convince Bloom to do this. She might have attacked that fairy but even she's not stupid enough to steal from Cloud Tower for nothing." Darcy pointed out. "Are we going to threaten her more or what? Maybe threaten her with getting the police involved over that assault of the fairy?" She asked.

"Mixture of threats and rewards." I answered to her. "We'll keep our usual threats like exposing her secret and maybe hurting her a bit. But we'll also reward her if she does this. You know what every firstie witch wants?" I asked them and they both looked slightly dumbfounded at that unable to answer the question. "They want to be more powerful and I don't think she is an exception here. We'll offer her with more power and if she does it. And if she doesn't we'll expose her little secret and attack her like that fairy." I explained to them and they seemed to agree with me like they should.

"Besides molding her into a real witch is still somewhat entertaining. And once we take over if she does like we say. We'll offer her the privilege to be our servant. After all it's going to be much better than what most people will be like when we take over."

"Slaves."

Bloom's pov

After my unfortunate "adventure" with the Trix I got a few weeks of peace. But unlike the last time this, I wasn't optimistic that there wouldn't be further meetings. I knew that at some point Trix would want to have fun with me again, which would probably involve some poor soul. It was something that I was starting to accept and anticipate.

So when the call finally came today I wasn't surprised, shocked or panicking. Instead I calmy took the phone and answered it.

"What?" I asked in an annoyed tone. Just enough annoyed that Icy would tolerate it but still annoyed enough to prove my point.

Icy was a for a few seconds quiet until she finally answered in very simple words. "Firstie we need your help for something."

I wasn't going to let them push me over like last time. At least that's what I told in my head. Regardless I still wanted to find out what she needed my help for. Maybe it isn't for something that bad that maybe I can find myself doing it. Who am I kidding this is Icy we are talking about.

I took a deep sigh. "What for then?"

"We need you to help us steal a valuable object from Cloud Tower." I stopped right there. Did Icy think that I was insane? If I got caught that would be it. I would be expelled and then I would just become a regular girl back in Earth.

"NO! I won't do it." I yelled a little too loudly, causing everyone in the hangout area that I was in, look at me. "Just forget it." I said with a lowered that was almost a whisper and left the hangout area to continue the call in my room.

While I was walking in the halls of Cloud Tower towards my room Icy let out a slightly amused laugh. "I knew you'd say something like this. But you know what will happen to you if you don't do this." Icy threatened.

"You are going to tell it to everyone until my life becomes so miserable that I leave." I stated as I entered my room. "But if I do what you want me to do I'll definitely get expelled and probably arrested. So why would I do that? I'd rather take my chances at surviving the misery than take this risk." I said raising my voice and I was glad neither Mirta nor Lucy were in this room to listen to this conversation.

"That's why I have a reward lined up for you for doing this." Icy answered calmly. I stopped at that.

Part of me wanted to laugh that she would even think she could bribe me into doing this. On the other hand part of me still wanted to find out what it was. Part of me just wanted to laugh at how she thinks she can bribe me. Another part of me was curious at it. And third part of me that I wish didn't exist at all almost genuinely wanted to have it despite not knowing what it was.

"What reward?" I asked.

"We the Trix. The three most powerful witches in existence. Will teach you how to unlock your witch form." She said.

"W-witch form?" I asked curiously.

Icy let out a small laugh. "Do you think every time we fought against your pathetic fairy club, we would change into different outfits and do our makeup again? What you take us as losers?" She asked amused. "No witch form is very similar as a fairy form for fairies. However unlike fairy forms which are pretty much required of fairies. Unless you are a total loser that can't even achieve that. On the other hand witch forms are much more rare. They require you to be powerful. I would say out of senior witches only about a third have unlocked their witch forms. Maybe even half if I'm optimistic." She explained and I was growing more curious and curious.

"Having a witch form gives a witch great advantage. Even without a form your average witch is more powerful than a fairy with just regular magic winx. Once you achieve a form you'll be even more powerful." She continued explaining and part of me wonders why I never studied this from books. "Before us a first year with a witch form was unheard of. If you help us with this we'll get you to join this very exclusive club."

The offer was tempting. While I never showed it the fact is that being associated with Mirta meant that I had a loser reputation here and it did bother me. If I was able to achieve a witch form it would mean I would get respect. Other witches wouldn't think of me as "that losers friend". But it never bothered enough to betray my morals. And having the Trix teach me it's secrets almost feels like cheating. That I should get the witch form in the way all others got.

"No. If I want to get a witch form I'll get it like everyone else got theirs." As soon as those words came out of my mouth I could hear Icy fuming on the other line. She wasn't having this.

She managed to calm herself quickly but I could feel a change in her attitude. "Looks like it's time to stop being nice." She said the nice part like it was venom. "If you don't do this not only will we tell your secret to everybody we'll hurt you the same way we hurt that fairy just a few weeks ago." She threatened. But after that experience I said to myself I'm not going to be their doormat.

"Fine do it then. Bring it on." I said in a confident tone even though I felt anything but confident.

Icy let out a very amused laugh. "Do you think we are only going to do it to you? Ha!" I could feel any sense of confidence crumbling like that. I felt myself getting back into being that doormat. "We'll not only hurt you but your precious friends Mirta and Lucy. Maybe even just for fun we'll track those loser former pixie friends of yours and do that to them. Maybe call Knut to see if he can find a way to track where you lived on Earth. Do that to your parents as we.."

"STOP!" I yelled. "I'll do it. I'll do it. Just tell me what you want me to steal. Just don't hurt them." I said in a crying desperate tone. I could already feel the tears come.

"That's a good girl. Glad to see you see reason." Icy stated making me feel like I was her pet or a servant of her. "Now it won't be any use to tell the objects name since you won't find info on it anywhere. And if you get caught it's better for you to not know what it was. All we need you to do is study Cloud Towers layout. Find the most likely place where they would hide a valuable object they don't want people to find." She explained.

"You have one week time to study the layout and find where it is. After that we'll come to Cloud Tower and you better have results. Think of this as an extra credit class that trumps everything else." She said and hung up. Finally leaving me alone and allowing me to think for myself.

And the only thing I could think was.

What have I gotten myself into?

It's nearly end of the week. And the time that wasn't spent on classes and homework were all done here in the library, where I'm currently at. Classes ended an hour ago and I'm right now looking at the map of Cloud Towers layout for the seventh day in a row. When the Trix will arrive today by night I have to have some results to show them. And that's the problem. Even if I have spent countless hours at staring this layout I only have one potential place where it is being hidden in mind.

...Griffins office.

It sounds so dumb and pathetic but that's all I can think of. I mean it obviously can't be the storage after all why would the Trix even need my help if it was there. So obviously it can't be there. It needs to be a hidden place that isn't obvious or a place with a great guardian. And I didn't see any good hidden places in the layout so I couldn't find any potential there. So that only left the office of the most powerful witch here. Besides probably at least half of the decoration there are ancient magical artifacts.

Yet even it seemed just so stupid and unlikely. Trix will probably laugh at me when that's all I have to show for the weeks work I have done. Actually they will probably do something worse than just laugh at me. That's why it is very important that I find other possibilities. So they will not hurt me or my friends. But right now I'm at a dead end.

Should I just make something up? Just throw a blind guess and hope the Trix won't get too angry when they can't find anything there. At this rate that seems like the only option.

"What are you doing right now Bloom?" All of a sudden I heard a familiar voice call me. I turned around and saw Lucy peeking at what I was reading. Well looking at.

"Oh I'm studying." I responded to her.

"Why are you studying the layout of Cloud Tower? Shouldn't this place be familiar to you by now?" Lucy asked confused and I can't blame her that much. Between the outburst I had after the last meeting with the Trix and now this. Studying the layout for cloud tower for a whole week. I'd be suspicious too.

"Just studying Cloud Tower in general. You know it's history, layout and all that stuff." I half lied to her.

Lucy looked a bit amused at that I was spending that much time just studying Cloud Tower. "Well here's a fun fact if you didn't know this already. This whole place is alive." That left me very surprised. Is she kidding me right now or is this place really alive? After all I've only been looking at the layout not this places history or facts about this place.

"Really?"

"Yes really. I think that's the room where this places heart actually is. I'm not sure if the school allows you to check it out or not." She said and pointed at one of the rooms on the layout. In the layout itself it never stated what room this room specifically was.

And now I felt really stupid.

This is probably where they are holding this magical artifact. Unless the first theory of that being Griffins office is true.

"Huh that's neat." I said and focused on the layout more and Lucy left the room probably to hang out with Mirta or some her other witch friends.

Why didn't I read about this place more? I'm sure they would have mentioned about the heart. And if this heart has the magical energy to keep this place alive, that means the heart must be or must use something powerful. And that might very well be what the Trix are after. Just like how they were after Stella's ring.

I think I finally have the places I can tell the Trix. But did I really want to? I mean we are talking about the Trix and they certainly won't have noble intentions for the use of this object they are stealing. Maybe I can set them up. No they'd drag me with them if that was the case.

My phone started all of a sudden ringing. Off course the caller ID was Icy. So I picked it up and pressed answer.

"Have you found where it is?" Icy asked me on the other line.

"Maybe. I'm not sure but I think I have found it." I answered her.

"Good. Don't tell me over the line where." She said almost sounding like a paranoid conspiracy theorist. "We'll meet in the bathroom near your dorm at 11pm. Remember 11 pm sharp. Don't be late firstie." She said and hung up.

After that I went back to my dorm room. Neither Mirta nor Lucy were there at the time. I then set up an alarm on my phone at 10.45pm and made sure the alarm wasn't too loud, so it wouldn't wake up Mirta or Lucy.

There's no way I can handle stealing an artifact from Cloud Tower at the half sleep state I will be at 11pm. So I turned off the lights and went to bed without changing my clothes and let myself sleep until 10.45pm.

BE-BE-BEEB BE-BE-BEEB

"Ughhh" I groaned as the sound of my phones alarm went off. With my eyes closed I picked it up and almost by instinct with my eyes still mostly closed I shut the phones alarm off. 10:46pm it read on my phone. So I was going to have the meet with the Trix 14 minutes from now on. 14 minutes until we'll do something real stupid.

From having my sleep interrupted so quickly my body was telling me to lay in bed and let sleep come again. *5 more minutes.* I told myself in the head and closed my eyes. In matter of seconds I got myself to a half sleep state where I was in a grave danger to falling to sleep again.

And that feeling of going to sleep was welcoming me. Until I remembered the consequences of what will happen if I don't do this. Especially if the only reason was that I fell asleep. I forced my eyes open and took my phone. Even the light from it's monochrome screen hurt my eyes and made me feel like a vampire. 10:51pm it read on my phone. 'That quickly? 6 minutes passed that quickly?' I thought to myself. This is something I'll never figure out. Why some teachers on Earth could make 5 minutes seem like forever yet in my half sleep state 6 minutes only felt like few seconds.

Using all my strength in this state I got up. Luckily my alarm hadn't waken up others. Mirta nor Lucy turned on the lights and while neither snored I could hear their relatively quiet sounds confirming they were still asleep. Then as quietly as possible I took one of my bags and placed the book with the layout there. In case the item needed to be carried somewhere and there was a very high chance that the Trix wouldn't bring anything to do the task. Plus in case we got lost we could look at the map of the layout.

'I guess I really have to do this.' I thought to myself as I began walking as quietly as possible in the room. Once I made it to the door I opened it slowly and almost felt a panic attack coming just from it's creak. Luckily no one seemed to wake up from this.

Letting a quiet sigh of relief I began sneaking as quietly as possible to the bathroom. Yet I couldn't shake the feeling of paranoia. I mean can you blame me? If this goes sour I'm looking at JAIL TIME. And probably would lose all chances of ever learning magic. The only positive thing about Earth not knowing about the magical dimension is that if I have a criminal record here they wouldn't know about that in Earth. So once I would get out of jail I can still have a normal life on Earth.

But still going to jail is not something I'm hoping to find myself in ever. If things go sour I have to try to flee to Earth as fast as possible if I were to avoid that fate. How big of a sentence can you get for trying to steal a very valuable magical object? Probably at least years.

While these thoughts were running through my head, I was constantly looking around. What if there were sleepwalkers here? One bump and that's it I'm caught. What if somehow the staff have gotten access to my texts or heard the conversation and know exactly what to expect? What if I'm not walking quietly enough and the noise alarms the students and the staff?

Luckily no of those things happened by the time I reached the bathroom. Inside Icy, Darcy and Stormy were waiting in their witch forms. All of them looked a little pissed off.

"You were almost late." Icy pointed out. Did she expect me to arrive 20 minutes early or what?

Still not wanting to anger her more I didn't say that to her face. "Had to make sure I wouldn't be caught sneaking around." I replied to her.

"Whatever firstie." Icy replied bitterly. "Anyway you better have found where it is hidden and not waste our time." A large part of me so wanted to point out, it was Icy who said to me to NOT reveal the places on the phone. But again not wanting to anger her I decided not to.

"I have found two potential places. One of them is less likely and the other one is more likely." I replied to her.

Icy let out a small smirk before looking at the rest of the Trix. "Well we are witches and we'll always take the negative news first. So tell me the less likely option first."

"Griffins office." I simply replied.

Icy at first looked like she was gonna laugh until she put some more thought to it. "Maybe she really thinks she is powerful enough to protect it all alone. And seeing how many rare items she has in her office maybe that isn't as ridiculous as it sounds." Icy voiced her thoughts. "Maybe I haven't given enough credit to you firstie." The closest thing to an actual compliment Icy has ever said. "Now tell me the other potential place."

"Cloud Towers heart." I responded.

She and Stormy looked confused at first. But Darcy on the other hand looked to be in thought. "Oh yeah. It can be opened to get inside and it's as big as room. And all of this buildings magical energy goes through it. It the most probably spot." Darcy explained leaving behind a confused Stormy and Icy who were looking at her like she was a freak. "What? You didn't listen in class when they told us that in our senior year?" Darcy asks both of them.

"Well off course not. Lucy did all of our homework so there wasn't a reason to be awake during any classes." Stormy said in annoyed tone. Though just her speaking with a normal speaking voice made me afraid that she was gonna alert someone.

"Well since we have two possible places we'll split up. Stormy, Darcy you take on Griffin while me and Bloom will go to the heart." Icy ordered and got groans from both of them.

"Why does she get to go to the heart?" Stormy whined.

"Because can you imagine her against Griffin?" Icy responded and both Darcy and Stormy shut up. "Exactly. Aren't you two supposed to be powerful enough to take her on. And someone has to monitor this firstie. Which is why I'm going with her." Icy explained. "Now lets go." she said and we went going.

The two groups began walking to opposite directions. Soon both Stormy and Darcy disappeared from view. Icy was following my lead as she personally had no idea where the heart was. In all honesty I didn't know exactly where it was. Just the right floor, which is why I brought that book along.

After walking aa set of stairs. We were only one row of stairs away from the right floor to where the heart was. Unfortunately Cloud Tower being Cloud Tower the stairs to there were two halls away from where we are. And this is where some of the teachers reside. Add to that the halls were really dark and huge part of me wanted to bring a flashlight along. Off course that was a sure way to get caught.

We kept walking straight through the hall. While walking I noticed that Icy didn't seem to be worried at all. Like she didn't seem to care she might be put to jail for this. I on the other hand was a nervous mess. Constantly worried if I walked too loudly. One step too loud in here that would cause a teacher to wake up and that's it. My life would be ruined just like that.

All of a sudden I felt someone pull me to the side. I let out a small eek and a hand covered my mouth instantly, making me unable to make a sound.

"Shhh you'll ruin this whole operation if you keep being that loud." Icy said while holding me. "Look the potions teacher is sleep walking. We'll have to be extremely careful to not wake him up." Icy said. looked at the hall and there he was Professor Bittersmoke was roaming around. "Looks like he forgot to lock his door like he is supposed to." Icy said.

"Let's go. Just don't bump into him." She said and let go of me. We were sneaking through the hall as quietly as possible. However Bittersmoke wasn't making it easy. He was roaming around unpredictably. Icy made it past him and was on the way to get to the stairs.

However Bittersmoke was sleep walking straight towards me. I moved away to continue an alternative path only for Bittersmoke to do the same. I moved to another direction and Bittersmoke did the same. It was as if he saw me and was intending on walking straight towards me. I tried to make it to the end of the hall without him bumping into me. But about 3/4th of the way there that exactly happened. He bumped into me.

I panicked as soon as this happened. I ran and went to the nearest corner. Icy also hid herself in the doorway.

Bittersmoke was rubbing his head as he woke up. "Again? I should remember to lock my door." The elder man said as my stress levels rose to about high as possible. Luckily right after that Bittersmoke went to his room and didn't investigate.

Once he made it to his room and locked his door, I let out the biggest sigh of relief ever. "Get in here." Icy hissed at me and I followed her and made it to the stairs.

"You almost got us caught." Icy said and probably would be screaming at me, if that didn't mean we would get caught. "Why did I invite you here firstie anyway?" Icy asked herself as we made it to the end of the stairs.

"Where to now?" Icy asked me.

I felt worried and embarrassed at the same time. "Well I kinda don't know." I responded and Icy expression went from neutral to anger within seconds. Her hand started glowing light blue as she seemingly prepared a punishment to me.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Icy hissed quietly, being smart enough even while pissed off to not shout while everyone was sleeping.

"I know the floor it's this one. I didn't have enough time to study the layout to remember where exactly it was. But I got the layout book here so we can check it out." I explained to her hoping this would calm her down. And also make her not punish me after this.

"Well you better do it quickly firstie." Icy gritted as I took out the book.

I lit up my hand as small flame gave me light as I began turning the pages. "What do you think Darcy and Stormy are doing right now?" I asked her to pass time while I was shuffling through the pages.

Darcy's pov

I looked at Stormy. We were on the sides of the Griffins office's door. I was on the left she was on the right. We were soon ready to start my plan.

Raising 3 fingers I started counting.

Using the power of the gloomix we went through the wall of the office. We sent two blasts aiming straight toward the headmistress who had no time to react. The blasts hit her head and the headmistress became unconscious.

"No matter how good of a witch, no one can fight back a surprise attack." I said as I walked around the office. The office was filled with witchy decoration and genuine artifacts. Then when you consider how many different boxes and cabinets full of documents and stuff there is. The task of somehow finding the codex was going to be difficult.

I went over Griffins seat and moved the unconscious Griffin, so her head laid on the desk. When she woke up she probably would think she fell asleep, due to how late she stays up.

"Alright lets trash this place up." Stormy said as she was about to begin her search but I stopped it.

"Remember to not make a mess. When Griffin wakes up, she cannot discover that someone has been looking through her stuff." I reminded her. The whole point of this mission was gone, if she found out. After all the other schools would be high alert if we'd get the Cloud Tower codex.

"You'll go through the drawers, I'll go through the right side cabinets." I said to Stormy and we went to our positions.

Opening up the first cabinet revealed nothing but crap. Nothing useful for us at all. And hearing the grunts Stormy was making so were the first few drawers she was opening. The following cabinets proved to have nothing useful inside. After that I moved to the drawers under the cabinets. Maybe there's something useful there.

First drawer nothing useful. Second drawer useless documents. Third drawer student files. I stopped at that drawer. Hearing the frustrated Stormy's growls it was quite clear that this is not where the codex is.

Looks like the firsties stupid idea... was a stupid idea.

"Found anything?" Stormy asks me, as I stopped at that particular drawer.

"Student files. While it is probably interesting to snoop at them, they are not the codex." I responded to her.

"Well we might as well have some fun, considering it's pretty clear the codex is not here. And we can't do anything until we get a message from Icy." Stormy suggested and it was tempting.

Considering there's nothing to really do, might as well have fun with this. "Lets see if they have our old files here." I said and began looking through at the files. And behold and behold, I found them. I threw the files at Stormy who caught them.

"Have fun with those files. I'll go see what Griffin thinks about the firstie and her pathetic friends." I said and began looking through the drawer to see if they contained their files. I could hear Stormy complaining in the background about her file.

"Lacks anger management! How is that a bad thing for a witch!?" I heard Stormy shout about as much as you could in our situation, without waking up anybody.

It was clear that the files of first and second year students weren't held in that drawer, so I moved to the next one. It also contained student files and I began looking through the files and finally my efforts started to bear some fruit.

I got all the files of Bloomie girl and her friends.

Starting with Lucy. It was surprisingly good. She was nearly a straight A witch student. Off course a straight A witch student, is an entirely different beast than a straight A fairy student.

'Her skills and grades noticeably shot up midway through her first year.' Griffin had written. Well looks like having to do seniour level homework at an acceptable level, clearly increased her skills. Looks like we did her more services than just allowing her to win that stupid beauty competition.

'Her witchy behavior has decreased after, becoming friends with Mirta again.' It also read. Looks like that stupid wannabe fairy is holding both the firstie and this one back. She is probably the biggest disgrace witchkind has ever seen. I know fairies who would be better witches than her.

Speaking about her moving to her file, I nearly messed up the mission by laughing. Her grades on everything expect potions and history were so bad, she almost failed her first year. But then again what else to expect from this pathetic excuse of a witch.

'Doesn't power her magic from the right source. Uses mostly positive energy, almost like a fairy. This one makes her magic much weaker than a normal witch.' Griffin had written about her on the file. You know what, maybe this excuse of a witch should just become a fairy. But then again she would be a loser even amongst them.

Finally moving on to perhaps the most interesting one out of the files. The firstie. The file wasn't nearly as big as the second years. Obviously since we aren't even halfway through her first year. After skipping past the mistaken for a fairy stuff. I moved down to the interesting stuff.

For one her grades on magic were very good. Almost straight A's. Which was very impressive considering she didn't know anything about magic until a year ago. And then considering her first experience, was working with fairy magic.

Even more interesting was the fact that Griffin noted that she had the same problem that Mirta had. She powers her magic almost the same way a fairy does. Looks like that habit is still with her. But how are her grades so high if she doesn't power her spells properly?

'The fact that Bloom seems to use her positive emotions to power her spells has bottle necked her power. The question is how powerful will she be, if she learns to power her spells the right way? Her magical potential seems to be very powerful when compared to other witches.' Griffin had written. But how is it so? She is just a regular witch of fire, isn't she? Or are Earth witches much more powerful than the ones in magical dimension?

This firstie was seemingly more curious than I initially thought her to be.

Blooms pov

"Found it." I said and stood up. It had taken too long to find out exactly what room the heart was. And every second I tried to find that room it felt that Icy was just about to explode. I'm pretty sure she would have, if it wouldn't ruin this whole mission.

We went on move and luckily for us, there was nobody in this floor. I let out such a sigh of relief about that fact. The potential for prison has made me a nervous mess. Especially how I almost got caught with the professor. Finally we can get to the room in peace, get the thing the Trix want and then I can finally relax.

Entering the room revealed nothing but darkness. The room obviously had no windows and there wasn't a reason why the lights would still be on. "Bring some light to this room." Icy commanded in a whisper. I started a small flame in my hands. It didn't brighten the room much but we could start seeing a shape. The room was seemingly empty expect there was this dome in the middle.

"That must be the heart. Lets go closer." Icy said as we started approaching the heart. The heart was metallic, it didn't look biological at all. Almost as if this was a protective layer created around the heart. Well that's what it probably is.

"I'll go inside. You'll stand guard and if you hear anybody walking here make sure to snuff that flame out. They can't know anyone is here." Icy said and then she using some sort of spell went through the metallic layer.

I stayed on the outside with my flames lighting up the room. All I could do was wait, which I hated at the moment. It made me feel so useless. Just wait and hope Icy doesn't mess this up.

Then all of a sudden the whole room was starting to shake. All of my fears were starting to come true. Whatever Icy was doing in the heart was causing this. And if this doesn't stop soon, the whole school will wake up. After that there is no way, I am getting out of this without getting caught. And if I get caught... my life is essentially over.

I rushed to the heart and began knocking it. "Icy!" I shouted not that it mattered much. The whole school was going to be awake soon because of this shaking and besides there is no one in this floor.

"Icy stop!" I tried to get her hear me and then the shaking finally stopped.

"Why?" I could hear Icy's annoyed voice from the inside.

"Whatever you're doing it's causing this whole place to shake. Be more careful if you don't want to be caught." I told her and she gave me a response, an annoyed sigh.

"Fine." She said with the most annoyed tone I could think of and went back to getting the codex from there.

After that no more shaking came. Well every now and then there would be a small one for a brief moment. Nothing that would wake up anybody.

Soon the time I spent waiting outside became more and more. I was beginning to worry why Icy was taking so long there. Eventually she came through the heart and if looks could kill well, I would be dead.

"Nothing! Useless!" Icy said as she stepped out. "There wasn't anything that we would need inside that heart. You better hope that your other suggestion was correct because if not, you are in a world of hurt pixie!" I knew Icy was very pissed off from the fact she used the word pixie on me. All I could do was gulp as Icy picked up her blue cellphone and called Darcy.

I begged inside my head, that the idea that sounded stupid, was the correct one. "Is the codex there!" Icy yelled at the other line. "What do you mean it's not there!" At this moment I knew I had bitten more than I could chew. Icy was so pissed off and she only had one target me, to went that anger.

"When did you find out it was not there?" Icy asked them. "That long ago? And you didn't tell me. What were you even doing?" Icy asked them with her voice getting even more pissed off, if that was even possible. "Looking at student files are you kidding me!" Icy yelled. "Clean the office right now and make sure it looks exactly as it looked before you came there. Call me then." She said and finished the call.

She then turned on me with a furious look. "Looks like you got some extra time to figure out where the artifact is. For you sake, you better figure out where it is, by the time Stormy and Darcy have finished up their cleaning. Because if you haven't, I'll take control of the heart and use it to control cloud tower and make this building give it to me!" She shouted at me as she was clearly losing her battle with her frustration.

"Now find it, unless you want to be caught. I don't care if they know about us. We can easily live as wanted woman. It's for you. So hurry up!" She commanded and I immediately opened the book.

It has to be somewhere here. I thought as time was running out. "I'm gonna go outside this room to see, if I can figure it out looking at the actual room." I said to Icy who accepted this and we left the room where the heart was.

Looking around the hallway I got no clues for my quest. I turned back to looking at the book. Nothing absolutely nothing. I begged inside my head that Stormy and Darcy would take their time, to clean Griffins office so I have a chance to figure this out.

I walked to the nearest window and looked at the moon outside. It had a calming presence but right now it wasn't helping at all. I was as far as you can be from calm. Looking at the outside I finally noticed something. One of the towers just looked out of place.

I turned back to looking at the book and sure enough, it claims that tower doesn't even exist. Maybe it was a recent addition and this book is just old. I thought to myself as I went to look at the front page, to see when this book was published.

2 years ago. They couldn't have added that tower 2 years ago. Besides the stairway seems to be way to small for humans either to get there. The only area where human might fit is the top of the tower. And I never remember any teacher mentioning anything about that.

"Icy I might have found it." I said to Icy who walked towards me.

"Where?" She asked in a still pissed off voice, as I pointed at the tower. "Why that tower specifically?"

"They don't even say it exists in this book and it's only two years old. Do you think that's a recent addition?" I asked Icy who shook her head.

"The Trix have been here longer than two years. I remember that tower being there in my first year. It's always been there. So why would they try to hide it." Icy said as she seemed to come to the same conclusion as I. "It was always weird that there was this one tower where you couldn't go to. And the top has more than enough space to hold the artifact. Bloom I think you just might have done it. I'll call the other Trix."

Icy was really pleased with me. Having her call me by my actual name rather than firstie or pixie meant I turned her from being pissed off to satisfied. And part of me is disgusted how a small part of me seems to be proud of pleasing her. This is Icy we are talking about.

Icy picked up her blue cellphone, which had buttons that looked like crystals. She dialed Darcy's number again and called. "The firstie found us an another location. Meetup will be outside near the entrance. Make sure to come quickly." She said and hung up. She looked and me and pointed towards the route, that would take us outside. "Come on lets go."

Getting to the floor where the exit was, went without any trouble. It was complete opposite of what it was when we got up there. All we needed to do was just go to the exit and get that artifact.

"Bloom what are you doing here?" All of a sudden a voice familiar to me alerted me. In front of me there was Mirta, who was hard to identify due to the lack of visibility. I looked behind me and saw that Icy, had managed to hide herself from Mirta's view. Stupid me didn't pay enough attention to what was in front of me.

It seemed like I had to pull something out of my rear, to get out of this situation. I couldn't have Mirta seeing the Trix. Nor could I have Mirta questioning my intentions. I couldn't bear losing a friend. So that meant I had to do something, I have become so used to. Even though I shouldn't. After all just a year ago, I said to Stella I hated it. Lying.

"What are you?" I shot back at her. Trying to make her buy me some time, so I could make up a convincing lie.

Mirta looked uncomfortable at my question. As if she was in a similar situation to mine. "I.. I couldn't sleep. So I decided to roam around the halls, so I wouldn't wake you guys up." She responded with an obvious lie. This whole witch situation, has caused me to have to lie so many times, that not only has it made me a better liar, it means I can see better when others do it.

Part of me wanted to call her out on her lie. But that can be for later time. Right now I needed to get her out of this hall and fast. Stormy and Darcy have no idea about this situation and Icy can't warn them without her getting caught. Mirta will obviously question what I am doing with the Trix, if she sees them.

"I'm in a similar situation as well. I'll probably head for bed soon." I responded to Mirta, who seemingly bought my similar lie.

"I think that's a good idea. I'll just do that." Mirta said to me and began walking towards the direction, that would lead her to our room.

Now I really wanted to know what she was doing here. But there were bigger issues right now. Once Mirta left my view, Icy stepped out of her hiding spot. "Good job getting rid of that wannabe fairy. You made sure that I didn't have to use more... uncivilized methods." She said to me as we started once again make our way to the exit.

Once we were outside I could see the tower in better view. There was no way to access it and there wasn't enough room for stairs to be inside that tower. There also wasn't a way to climb it. That meant the only way to get there was by flying.

Before anyone would do that. We would need to wait for Stormy and Darcy to finally arrive. All I could hope was, that Mirta didn't happen to bump into them. It wouldn't turn well for her being against those two.

About two minutes later Stormy and Darcy finally met up here. "Took you long enough." Icy said to them.

"We had a lot of cleaning to do." Stormy responded and started looking around. "So where exactly does the firstie now think that the co.. I mean the artifact is in?" She asked Icy who pointed at the tower.

"That tower. We'll need to fly there and break in to get there." She said and looked around us. "Firstie you'll be also coming with us." She said and used a spell on me that caused me to levitate.

"Ahh." I said nervously as I tried to get used to flying. All of the Trix looked at me with disappointment at the fact.

"You'll have to learn that once you learn, to access your witchform. Try to not hold us back." Icy said and began flying towards the tower with the other Trix.

Reluctantly I followed them, still having to get used to flying. It just felt unnatural, probably because right now it is.

Icy launched one beam at the building which caused a large enough hole in there. Icy looked inside and took something. It looked like a polished stone that was in the shape of an American football. It was somewhat bigger than an American football.

"Looks like you weren't entirely useless after all firstie." She said while holding the item, that she had been looking for.

All of a sudden a tiny fairy, dressed in elegant clothing left the tower. "Stop! You don't know what you are doing. Give the codex back." She said to us. All of the Trix turned to look at it.

"Bleh an actual pixie. I don't even know an insult that could be used for a such lowly being." Icy said to the pixie. "But it doesn't matter. Cause we'll be taking this home and you can't to anything about it." Icy said to the pixie.

"Not if I have anything to say about it." The pixie said and sent out a magical beam at Icy. It hit Icy but didn't seem to hurt her much. However it caused Icy to lose grip of the artifact.

"No the codex!" Icy yelled as the codex dropped from her hands.

I along with Darcy and Stromy began immediately try to catch the falling codex. Despite this flying still being so unnatural to me I tried my best to get that before it would fall to the ground and possibly break. As I dived and dived I got closer and closer. And with a quick sleight of hand I managed to catch the falling artifact.

"Stop right now, you don't know what you are stealing!" The pixie tried to warn me, to get me to hand her back the codex. Unfortunately for her the Trix had me in such a bad situation, I couldn't just give it to her.

"You are begging to annoy me!" Icy said and sent an Icy beam at the pixie, who managed to dodge it.

Darcy then used her psychological attack, which caused the pixie to freeze in place, as her head began to hurt immensely. The pixie was resisting it much better than the fairy, I saw Darcy use it on. However with the pixie being in one place it gave Icy and Stormy a perfect opening to shoot an ice and lighting beam at her.

This one sent the pixie straight towards the main entrance of cloud tower. I along with the Trix landed there to check up on the pixie and she was unconscious.

"We need to erase her memories." Darcy stated. "She can't remember us taking the artifact." Darcy continued still using the word artifact despite me well knowing that this item was called a codex.

"I agree do it." Icy told her and Darcy began the process.

"What I am thinking of never happened. After this you will forget!" Darcy said the words of the spell and did the motions. Once it finished the only it didn't seem to affect the pixie at all and only caused Darcy to stumble backwards.

"That spell almost backfired on me. This pixies mind is too strong against one witch's spell." Darcy stated. "We all need to combine our powers to use that spell. That also includes the firstie." She said looking at me.

"The spell is quite simple. You must think of the thing you want that someone to forget. Then you must do the right hand motions and say "What I am thinking of never happened. After this you will forget!" She said to me teaching the spell. "Simple right but if she sees gets any triggers of this event she will remember. And how magically strong her mind is, maybe even seeing one of us will be enough for her to remember what happened. So firstie avoid this pixie at all costs. Understand?"

I nodded at her in return. "Good lets begin the spell all of us."

"What I am thinking of never happened. After this you will forget!" We chanted in unison, while I thought of the whole fight. The spell didn't seem to fail or backfire as it did last time.

"Now the fake codex." Stormy said and pulled made an identical codex appear. "She shouldn't see the difference until it's too late." She stated.

"I'll put them where they are supposed to be." Icy said and took the codex and the pixie and flew to the tower. She put the pixie and the codex inside there. She then used the spell that repaired the hole she had caused. And that hopefully meant that all of the evidence of this ever happening disappeared.

She then flew back to where rest of us were and took the real codex.

"Well looks like this was a success after all. You'll lessons about the witch form begin in two weeks. We'll text you the location. A little thanks for you saving us the mental fortitude of finding the location." She said to me in probably a fake kindness. "And remember this never happened." She said and she and the rest of the Trix teleported to who knows where.

That left me with one question. What exactly did I help them steal?

Finally this chapter is done. I did get it within two months so within promised time. And just before Christmas as I had promised to someone in a pm. So yeah as you can see Bloom is even deeper with this whole Trix business helping them steal one piece of the codex. Will she get out of this? well you'll find out in the future chapters. And I have to say this one is now my longest chapter I have made. Haven't checked the exact word count but probably over 9000 (EDIT over 10000 wow). I see bad case of word creep here. Luckily the next 3 chapters will be on the shorter side. So that will mean I will upload them faster than this one. Right now in this story we are in the 3rd act. This story is divided in 5 acts. 1st one (c1-3) was about season 1 events. 2nd act (c4-7) was about Bloom getting to know Cloud Tower and making friends. The third act will be chapters (8-15). You can probably guess what this 3rd act is about. Hopefully I will continue to upload these chapters and will not take too long of a break. Right now the Christmas break has began where I live. I don't know if it means I will upload faster or slower. Either I'm doing nothing in this break or I'm spending it uploading this chapter. For sake of this story lets hope it's the latter.

Now to answer some reviews.

Luiz4200: Well as you can see Bloom gave in again. But it's more than just peer pressure. The Trix are full on blackmailing her.

Jean D: I have largely responded to you in PM but I got some points I have forgotten to mention. Right now it's a competition who will discover that Bloom has the dragon fire sooner. Darkar or Trix. And as you can see Darcy is already begging to have some doubts that Bloom is just an average witch. Now just because Bloom is a witch doesn't mean the dragon fire is a dark power. Dark fairies are basically witches with wings and dark Bloom was able to use her power to open the portal there. So Darkar will not be using an another fairy. However the real question again is will the Trix or Darkar get a hold of Bloom first. Because the Trix would rather have dragon fire to themselves than sharing the ultimate power with Darkar.

4everpanda: Well I just updated. These chapters take time but I hope you see this and are reading.

Guest: From the way you speak you seem to be the same person as 4everpanda. Thanks for the compliments but here is a tip. If you want to ask someone when are they gonna update please do not use a guest account for that. Because there is no way I can respond to you. If you had posted that with an account I would have sent you a PM. Unfortunately the only way for me to answer that question is to upload a chapter. And that kind of defeats the question.

Viva out
