SPLASH!
Cold water rushed over Tecna and Flora. The impact immediatly knocked Tecna out, but her life was saved from the river below. The Overloared roared in anger. None of his scouts ever found what the ravine held below the darkness, unluckily for him, it was water.
Flora quickly realised where she was as she opened her eyes, and found out that she was sitting on top of Tecna, drowning her. "Oh my goodness!" Flora cried and swam off of her. The current was picking up, and rapids were up ahead. Flora grabbed Tecna and tried her best to swim to the edge of the canyon, a waterfall waiting at the edge.
Flora wasn't able to fight the current! Sharp rocks scraped up against her as she tried to get away, the rapids pulling her downwards and off the waterfall!
She screamed as she plummeted downwards towards a collection of sharp rocks that would grind her to bits...
SWOOSH!
She gasped as she hit something relitavely soft instead of rocks. She and Tecna were caught by none other then Prince Sky's dragon. She clutched its scales and held onto Tecna's arm, getting her situated. The dragon carried them over the top of the ravine. Everyone stood, waiting for them. "We saw you both fall off, but the creatures kept us from rescuing you!" Stella said sadly. "I'm sorry guys!"
Prince sky nodded. "At least my dragon saved them! What happened, Flora?" Flora watched Timmy take Tecna from the dragon before she told Sky about what happened. "Well, that monster slammed me over the edge, and I don't really know what happened... but when I came out of unconsciousness, I found Tecna under me, as if she saved me from impact or something... Poor thing must've not been able to fly out!"
"She's not breathing!" Timmy said, moving her hair aside. He quivered with anxious energy as he stood over her. He knew what to do but was afraid to do it- mouth-to-mouth CPR. He had a crush on her, but he didn't really know if she did to him.
"Go on, Timmy." Brandon said with a slight smile. "You can do it." Timmy took a deep breath and performed the act. Tecna coughed and choked and turned over, immediatly waking up. "Timmy?" She said weakly, then laughed and blushed. He helped her to her feet, his teeth chattering, and a weak smile forming on his lips. Bloom just couldn't help to giggle.
At least they were all reunited.
For the moment.
Tecna woke up, finally, and found herself safe in her room. She sat up and turned on the light, reaching into her pocket. She pulled out her tooth and groaned. Maybe she could get another one. Musa yawned. "Well, THAT was interesting..." She said and faced Tecna with a broad smile. "Timmy kissed you!" She laughed. "That was funny!"
Tecna blushed. "Yeah... pretty funny." She began to head out the door. "Oh, Tec, where are you going?" Musa said and laughed again. "You're still in your pajamas!" Tecna shrugged. "I really have to see the nurse about this... I'm tired of my "S"es sounding like whistles... Check this out.
Sally sold seashells by the seashore." Musa giggled. "Yeah, you better get another tooth before everyone starts laughing their heads off!"
Tecna nodded and left to find the nurse.
Meanwhile, the Winx Girls all attended their classess. It was 10:00. "Where's Tecna?" Stella asked. "She's getting a tooth replacement, you should've heard her!" Musa said. "It was hilarious!"
Bloom rolled her eyes. She couldn't help but to dread the time the Overloard would strike again. Though it was morning, if someone fell asleep in class he might be able to get them, though he usually strikes at night after 12.
"I tried, Your Highness, but I could not." The Overloard told Icy. "Well? I'll give you one more chance to bring me those wings. And if you don't... well, I'll think of something." Icy replied. The Overloard nodded his bulky head. "It shall be done"
It was noon and the four Winx girls were sitting around the table. They had hidden all of their scratches from their classmates so they wouldn't gasp or point at them and ask, "How'd that happen?" Bloom had suggested that they'd feel like a fool if they told them that they were hurt in their dreams.
Suddenly Tecna walked blindly into the dining hall and sat quietly next to Stella at the edje of the table. "Hey, Tec!" Stella said, greeting her loudly. "So did you get a new tooth?" Tecna nodded.
"Well, lemme see!"
Tecna was reluctant, but finally showed Stella and the other Winx girls her new tooth. "Well, I don't see anything different. I'd say they did a good job... What's wrong, Tecna?" Flora said. "I just... don't want this to happen again... I just feel as if the Overloard is targeting me specifically..."
Bloom paused. "He IS, Tecna..." She said. "I got into his mind again last night... He said something about getting your wings to Icy." Tecna's eyes widened with terror. "Do you know why?" She asked. "Yes...He says you know too much about him and his secrets, he's afraid you'll keep me from falling into his hands..."
Tecna's lip quivered, and a single tear dropped from her eye. "She's crying!" Musa said, with a slight smile. "I've never seen THAT before!" Flora quickly ran over to Tecna and hugged her. "Its okay, Tecna, we'll keep you safe." She told her reassuringly.
Bloom, after finishing lunch, walked down the hall blindly. Maybe she could figure more out about the Overloard and what he may be planning. "Rarion..." Bloom whispered under her breath. "Show me the path..." She paused. The Overloard wasn't really in any realms. The Overloard was actually LIVING in the dream! That meant that they would only be able to take on the Overloard with the boys and themselves- and hopefully Sky's dragon.
It was finally night again, and the Winx Club was reunited in the dorm.
"Guys! Guess what I figured out! Rarion, the Overloard, actually lives in the dream!" Musa gasped. "Uh-oh! That could only mean one thing..." Bloom nodded. "We can only take it on with ourselves, the Boys, and the dragon!"
Tecna looked at the ground. "This is awful... I... I wish I never came to Alfea... I wish the Witches didn't even exist! And now they're targeting ME!" Flora frowned and patted her back. "Its okay, Tecna, as long as you have us nothing can happen. You're going into the dream again with us- and we're going to defeat the Overloard."
Tecna smiled slightly. She was always optimistic- lovable Flora. "I don't know what I'd do without you, Flora." Tecna replied. "Okay, enough with the calming words passing around, let's hurry up and try and figure out a way to kill the Overloard! The boys are probably already there." Stella announced and hurried off to her room.
Tecna had no idea that this very night would be the most terrifying and injury-serving yet.
