Random Winx Idea

By: FunahoMisaki

(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.)

Bloom gave a weak smile as she slid down the rock wall and thought back to how she ended up in this situation. It had been so simple too.

"Bloom do you think you can investigate this planet for us? There's been…strange sightings there and I'm afraid this might be too much for our normal students." Faragonda asked looking at the red head as she tapped one pointer finger on the map to the area she was referring to.

It had been a desolate planet when some ships going past had noticed strange creatures there. Most of which seemed to look like the Decay monsters of her freshman year, despite the fact that there should be no way that was possible.

"Sure thing. I've had nothing really planned for the next week anyways." Bloom said with a shrug and a grin. She saw nothing wrong with going to check out a dead planet. It wasn't the first time she's done it after all. But it would be her first time going alone since all the others were busy with things on their own planets.

"Bloom can you hear us?" Griselda's voice was soft through the transmitter and receiver she had been given to keep in contact with them. The mission was only supposed to last a week. She was only supposed to have been here a week but a week turned into a month. A month turned into three months. Three months had become a year.

She'd been on this dead planet for a year doing her absolute best to survive after her transport had been wrecked and it seemed like this was a magical dead zone. There was no magic at all able to be used on this planet.

"Yeah…I hear you." Bloom said her voice forced cheerful and light as she spoke into her transmitter.

"We're still trying our best to get someone there to get you home Bloom. We're doing all we can…" Griselda trailed off and Bloom knew what she had to say but just couldn't bring herself too.

There was nothing they could do for her. Nothing more than what they've already tried within the last year since she had told them that it was a magically dead zone and that the creatures were real…and a hell of a lot more dangerous than they had been in freshman year. They had been doing everything they could to get her off of the planet after she had told them a month after the start of the assignment that she was stuck.

"Don't worry Ms. Griselda. I understand…don't worry about me anymore." Bloom said and she gave a harsh wet cough when she could no longer hold it in, some blood coming up but she had expected that. She had taken a nasty hit getting away from the creatures the other day and she had felt several ribs break and she wasn't surprised that one had punctured her lung.

She was just surprised that she had lasted this long.

"Bloom…" Griselda trailed off and she sounded upset and Bloom could hear some others sobbing in the background.

"Thanks for trying though." Bloom said and she did her best to keep her voice cheerful and light as she heard Griselda herself begin to sob.

"Bloom…I'm so sorry." Faragonda apologized tearfully and making Bloom chuckle.

"Don't be. We couldn't have known this would have happened. Can ya'll do me two last favors though?" Bloom asked earning a clamor of 'yes's and 'of course's from the other teachers and staffs of the three schools. Looked like they were all crowded in for her final transmission.

"First…tell everyone it was painless and a mistake alright? Don't tell them I was asked to come here, say I did it by accident or I got cocky…I don't want anyone blaming ya'll when there's nothing to blame you for." Bloom said and she heard Faragonda let out a wet sob again. Even when they were unable to save her, she was still more worried about them.

"Second?" Griffin prompted and her voice was soft and a bit weak as well.

"Do ya'll mind singing something for a little while? Just until I close my eyes? I don't want the last thing I hear to be sobs." Bloom said and there was renewed sobs all around on the receiver.

"The last thing…" Saladin trailed off his voice grave and solemn.

"Yeah…I'm not coming back and we know it…besides…the battery on the receiver and transmitter are almost dead." Bloom said and there was a brief moment of silence. Her vision was starting to go out and she knew it wouldn't be long now but…she didn't let that project in her voice. She had to sound cheerful and friendly to them…she had to make this last message count.

"Bloom…" Palladium trailed off and he sounded heartbroken.

"Sorry everyone but…the battery's dying and it's getting cold. Thank you…for everything." Bloom said and there was a choked sob before she heard one of the teachers, DuFour by the sounds of it, begin to softly sing in a language Bloom didn't know.

Slowly one by one each of the teachers began to sing along in the same language and it sounded so sad that Bloom shed a single tear but she smiled as she leaned her head back against the rock wall behind her.

She was cold, so cold, and she was very tired. She'd close her eyes…just for a moment.

Bloom's body went limp and the transmitter and receiver both fell from her hand, the softly singing voices being the last thing she remembered hearing as her eyes shut for the last time.
