Random Winx Idea

(A/N: I own nothing and this just popped into my head at random…don't ask me why. AU OOC Bashing and femslash all possible and likely.)

The screams ripping through the tent were deafening as the circus goers watched the knives impale Red in various spots.

One went through each of her hands and nailed her to the spinning board, another imbedded in her right foot, a fourth one found its way into her chest, and the fifth and final knife was lodged into her left eye socket.

"Well it looks like Uno has been practicing her aim! She got all of them in Red this time. How you doing over there Red?" The Ring Master asked not batting an eye at the sight of the clown girl on the board.

"I'm good. Gonna need a lot of popcorn after this though!" Red said grinning and pulling herself from the board with the knives still in her, moving her hand so that it looked like the knife was helping her give a thumbs up to the Ring Master.

"All you ever do is eat. I swear it's a miracle that you stay as thin as you do." Uno said shaking her head in disbelief. The girl was skewered with knives, as she was supposed to be, and yet her first thought was about food.

"Metabolism that you wouldn't believe." Red said with a cackle as she turned to the horrified audience and bowed.

"Don't worry folks! I'm used to this!" Red said brightly with a happy grin on her face, which really looked disturbing with the fact that she still had the knife in her chest and eye, much less her foot and hands.

"Well I see at least five that fainted…nope…wait…that's fifteen now. I think that's your best score yet Red." The Ring Master said with a snicker as he counted how many people had fainted.

"I owe it all to Uno's knife work. This is the first time she landed one in my eye after all!" Red said happily as Uno moved to help her pull the knives out of her hands.

"I've been practicing on the paper targets. Thought I'd surprise you." Uno said with a grin as she pulled one knife out of Red's left hand without the girl batting an eye at the pain.

"This is…impossible. There's a knife buried in her heart and in her eye to the point where it pierces her brain!" Ophelia said looking pale and horrified as she stared at Red who pulled the knife out of her foot and then pulled out the one in her chest, which showed the clear rip in her shirt and skin to those looking for it.

"Palladium is down." Avalon said with a wince as he supported the elf who had fainted.

"So is Flora and Stella." Layla said with a grimace of her own as she supported Stella while Tecna and Musa were keeping Flora upright.

"Her healing ability has to be cranked up to an unheard of degree and she probably doesn't even realize it." Griffin said wincing when Bloom pulled the knife out of her eye socket, pulling out the eyeball as well and causing even more people to faint and a few threw up at the sight of her empty socket now.

"I can't look." Barbatea whimpered as she turned and buried her head in Cordatora's chest while he wrapped his arms around her.

"I don't blame her." Faragonda said with a slight crack to her voice as she glanced up from Saladin's shoulder only to turn her head away.

"We are not letting her out of our sight for a while are we?" DuFour asked her voice completely calm but that betrayed her to the ones that knew her. DuFour always sounded either happy, sad, angry, worried, or any other emotion. Her voice was only ever calm when she was trying not to freak out.

"No." The rest of them said in an instant.

TIME SKIPPPP

"You all do know I was never in danger right? I've done the routine a hundred times, at the least." Bloom said looking at the teachers and her friends who were all huddled around her and not letting her go.

Faragonda had a hand on Bloom's arm, Griselda's hand was carding through Bloom's hair, Griffin had Bloom's head on her lap, and the rest of the groups were curled as close as they could be as they each tried to touch some part of her. As soon as they had left the circus, they had all huddled around her and refused to let her out of their sight or grip.

"If you didn't have a healing ability that defies all possible limitations, you'd be dead. Those knives were in your heart and brain." Ophelia said with a whimper as she gripped the girls wrist a little harder, checking the girls pulse repeatedly.

"I know. Uno's been practicing her aim. First time we did this routine she either missed or only hit my stomach, she's been getting better over the years but this is the first time she's hit my head and heart." Bloom said sounding proud of the girl who had skewered her with knives.

"Please don't sound happy about that." Tecna said gripping Bloom's left leg and her eyes ticking over where the knives had impaled her friend. All of the minor wounds on her hands and foot had healed in a few seconds, the one in her chest had healed within two minutes, and her eye had regrown and was fully functional after ten minutes. It was fascinating and horrifying to watch.

"Don't worry, there's a reason my circus name is either Blood Red or Phoenix. No matter what damage I take, I always heal and get back up." Bloom said trying to reassure them a little bit and causing them all to try and not grip her to the point where they were cutting off her circulation.

Something she noticed. Her next question had them damn near dogpiling her and locking her up in a padded room set up in the teachers hallway of Alfea.

"So I shouldn't invite you guys to see the routine again tomorrow night?"
