I love this ship as well and would love to read your story, just let me know what it is called!

Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

Bloom's POV:

I walked around the Alfea courtyard, enjoying the warm weather. I sat down at a bench to wait for the girls. We were going to Magix for a day out and we had decided to meet there. As I waited, I heard someone sit down beside me. I looked over to see it was Sky.

"What do you want?" I said in a not-so-friendly voice.

"Bloom, I missed you so much." He said. He moved closer, wrapped an arm around my waist and said, "Permit me." I was too lost in my emotions to notice him lean in and kiss me. He wrapped his fingers in my hair and pulled me closer, deepening the kiss. I shoved him away.

"Don't start this, Sky. I saw you in Club Avalon with Diaspro." He looked at me with wide eyes. "Before you say anything. I am not mad, Sky. You deserve to be happy. If Diaspro makes you happy, then be with her. Don't let me hold you back. I stopped feeling the spark a while ago, but I didn't want to say anything. I hope we can still be friends." He sighed and nodded before pulling me into a tight hug. "Sky." He looked up. "I wish you and Diaspro well."

"Thank you, Bloom." And with that, he walked away silently, head hung low. I didn't know why I was so affected by our breakup, but I was and I decided to just stay home. I trudged to my dorm and plopped down on the couch.

"Will Stella, Musa, Layla, Tecna, and Flora please report to my office?" Mrs. F's voice echoed through the intercom, making me jump a foot in the air.

"I wonder what is going on?" Flora said, "and why she didn't call Bloom as well."

I shrugged, "It doesn't matter. I'll be fine." The girls walked out, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

"I guess I'll catch up on the homework I have to do." I said to no one in particular. I picked up my bag from beside my bed.

Why is it so heavy?

I looked inside and found three books. I was surprised Mrs. F hadn't taken them. My phone buzzed and I almost screamed. It was from Stella saying that something had come up and they wouldn't be able to get back until late. I decided that this was the perfect opportunity to go and read the books. I walked to the library, my footsteps echoing in the empty halls. Classes were going on, but I couldn't bring myself to go. I found a nice comfy corner in the library. I curled up and pulled the first book out of my bag.

"The Transformations of Fairies by: Morgana" I opened the book and started flipping through it, looking for information on the Enchantix thing. I found a page on the transformation and skimmed through it.

"Enchantix is the transformation above Charmix. The transformation gives the fairy large powerful wings and a pendant of fairy dust. The dust is known for its intense healing properties, which can cure any ailment. To earn Enchantix, a fairy must sacrifice herself for someone from her home realm." I froze.

That's why Faragonda didn't want to tell me about it.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself. Slowly, I pulled out the second book. I looked through it, reading about the abilities Valtor seemed to have. Many of them were similar to mine, but I noticed he had many that I didn't possess. Out of curiosity, I flipped to the page that described the ability to read auras." The ability to read auras is a very rare ability, only present in people with very dark magic, such as the Shadowfire or powers of nature." So, Flora can read auras and possibly even the witches and Valtor.

I finished reading, but still had unanswered questions. Alfea's library contained less knowledge than I had already learned, so it wasn't going to be of much help. I wasn't going to risk going to Cloud Tower again. I didn't think it was right to pester Valtor. The headmistresses were out of the question as well.

Where can I go to get information?

Zenith is known for its extensive collection of magical trivia.

Perfect. Let's go.

I quickly transformed and took to the sky. I arrived in Zenith half an hour later. Tecna had given us a tour of her realm, so I wasn't incredibly lost. I found the library and walked inside. A wave of something hit me.

Oh right, Tecna mentioned the library has a blocker that disconnects magic.

The building was large. It had three stories. There were no books, just rows of computers with booths around then, probably for privacy. I found an empty computer in the crowded library and sat down. I silenced my phone and began my search. As I pulled up the search engine, one of the news headlines caught my eye. "Valtor is back for revenge." My eyes widened and I clicked the link.

What does it mean that Valtor is back? I thought this was the first time anyone had seen him.

I skimmed the article.

Destroyed Domino… stole countless amounts of magic… The Ancestress' apprentice is back for revenge against the Company of Light.

I searched for information on the Company of Light. I found that it had included my parents, but Valtor and the Ancestress had gotten rid of them. Faragonda was in it as well. I got the feeling that she knew much more than she let on. As I processed the new information, white hot anger began to course through me. I was angry. At Valtor. At Faragonda. At everyone. Had the library's magic restrictors not been there, I would have reduced the entire building to ash. I needed to get out of here.

He destroyed my planet. He took away my family.

I stormed out of the Zenith Library, nothing except for the raging hurt and anger racing through my brain. I felt flames begin to form around my hands and I knew that I had to calm down. I focused and thought only about getting somewhere that would mollify my emotions. I felt the rush of teleportation and the next thing I knew, I was in Shadow Haunt.

It didn't drain my magic like the last time I was here. It was probably because of my dark side. Instead of draining my magic, I actually felt it being supported, like someone was there, holding it up. I began to walk around the caverns. It actually wasn't that bad. Everybody avoided it, even witches, because of the overwhelming amount of untamable dark magic. Now with Darkar gone, Shadow Haunt wasn't full of dark magic on the inside. However, there was no way I was going to spill that to the world. Shadow Haunt was surprisingly beautiful. It was scattered with glowing crystals and the walls had a sense of security to them. The convoluted caverns were the perfect place to get lost in. There was no one here hunting me down, no one to hurt me. I could sit here and think. I found a nice cave with glow crystals in the back, creating enough light to read in. It was pretty far in; people wouldn't venture that deep inside. I placed my bag on the ground and sat down. I picked up my pen and started on the mountain of make-up assignments.

With the Winx:

Faragonda had called the girls minus Bloom into her office to talk about the Enchantix and how to strengthen it. They had talked for about an hour about the different abilities of their new powers. Suddenly, they heard a loud boom outside.

"Let's go girls! Magic Winx, Enchantix!" Stella yelled. The girls transformed and went to see what the racket was all about. The Trix were attacking, along with roughly half of Cloud Tower's zombified witches. With their new stronger powers, the girls managed to fend off the witches. They dropped their transformations, their magic almost drained from the battle. They trudged to their dorms. The girls were snapped out of their trance like state by a sharp" Where is Bloom?!"

"This is Bloom we're talking about. She probably got bored and went to Magix." Musa said.

"You're probably right." Stella said, "But I don't know what to think except for the worst."

Stella proceeded to call her best friend multiple times. Each call she made was hit with "Hi. This is Bloom. I am unable to take your call at the time. Please leave a message with you name and phone number. Thanks. Bye."

"This might be serious. Since when does Bloom not answer the phone?" Layla said.

"The most logical thing to do is to make sure that she is safe." Tecna said.

"Let's go." They combined their powers to trace her magic. The orb showed her going to Zenith and then nothing.

"Maybe she was ambushed." Layla said. Tears welled in Stella's eyes.

"So she's gone?" Stella whimpered, her voice cracking.

"The spell isn't picking up on anything. We don't know what happened to her." Tecna explained.

Flora spoke up, "Maybe we are all overreacting."

"Tecna, can you trace her magic and see where she was last seen?" Stella asked. Tecna focused her magic and zoomed in on the picture. About 15 minutes from Zenith, Bloom's magic trail just vanished without a trace. Stella started to sob. Tecna zoomed in further and it was clearly seen that the stop wasn't gradual. It was abrupt. Bloom was gone. The other girls started to cry. "Valtor will pay."

The girls calmed down thanks to Flora's tea and started planning attack methods to Valtor. They came up with one and studied it thoroughly, making sure no loopholes were present.

"All fairies, report to the Alfea safe room. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill." Griselda's voice echoed on the intercom as sirens began to sound.

"He's here. Let's go give him a piece of our minds." Layla growled. The girls took off and went outside the school for fairies. Valtor was flying high in the sky with the Trix hovering Alfea. A crowd of witches surrounded the school. Despite the other girls telling her not to, Stella zoomed into the air and hit Valtor directly in the chest with her strongest attack. He was launched back and almost down before he steadied himself, touching his chest like he had been burned.

"That's what you get for taking away my best friend!" Stella screamed on the verge of tears. Valtor only smirked and hit her with a blast, sending her flying.

"What are you talking about? I don't have the time to waste on you pathetic fairies." He said. One by one the girls attacked him, insisting he was lying about Bloom, but they were all defeated with little effort.

Stella, who had recovered a bit, weakly stood up, "Don't play dumb Valtor, what did you do to Bloom?" she said through gritted teeth.

"Like I said, I have no idea what you are talking about. I haven't seen the redhead for a while now. It's amusing how you assume it was me. If you are her good friends, shouldn't you know? Don't try to blame me for your lack of communication." Valtor said menacingly, knowing he had gotten to their heads. He knew he had succeeded when Tecna and Layla shot a convergence at him out of pure anger. He deflected it easily, firing an attack back at them. The battle continued until the Trix yelled out that they had gotten the spells from the library. The entire group of attackers disappeared with a snap of Valtor's fingers. The girls headed inside to get rest before their next training session.

Valtor's POV:

I looked through another spell book that I had acquired.

How could Bloom do that? I thought that she was a good person, but here she is, kissing that Eraklyon trash. Whenever anyone asks her about it, she says she doesn't like that piece of filth. She left without telling me anything. She said that she would meet me at the lake, but I went back after waiting hours on end for her to show up. She just left me to worry. When I see her again, I am going to give her a piece of my mind. Grrr.

Just then, Icy stormed in, breaking me out of my internal rant. She was grumbling about the Winx girls. "Valtor, I have an idea that will give us a huge advantage over those Alfea pixies and get us one step closer to domination."

"I'm listening," I said, putting the spell book down.

She walked closer to me, pushing her body on to mine. I shoved her away. She grimaced, but continued with her idea, "You have enough power to get us through the Alfea barrier without them being alerted, right?" I nodded. "Well, I say we wait at the edge of the woods until all of the pixies are asleep. When their lights go out, we strike. We will get into the library and take the spells. By the time they realize what happened, we will be long gone." She said.

I smirked, "It seems like it will work. Get your sisters in here and we will finalize the plan." She did as I said and we spent the next few hours working out the details of the plan. When the time came, the four of us walked through the forest and remained hidden beneath the cover of trees. There was only one light that was still on. The Trix were chatting with each other while we waited.

How long did these fairies stay up?

The light turned off a little past midnight. As I motioned for the Trix to follow me, a figure above us caught my attention. I immediately backed up into the cover of the trees. As the person got closer, I saw that she was a fairy. She stopped right in front of the protection bubble before whispering, "Cloak of Darkness." She then teleported inside. She stalked inside. After a few minutes, she reappeared outside of the bubble, holding a bag and a bunny. A light flicked on and she muttered something before running into the trees for cover. A group of teachers came to the edge of the bubble to investigate. After looking around, the one that looked like a leprechaun said that it was probably some critter wandering around. After they left, the girl only a few trees down dropped the spell, revealing bright red hair. Bloom. I resisted the urge to tackle her right there, instead watching her. She picked up the rabbit and started talking to it.

"I know what you are thinking, Kiko. It is wrong to leave them worrying like this, but I need some time alone. Hopefully they don't go into a panicked frenzy. I love them all so much, but I don't think that I deserve to be near them right now." She said while walking away. I sent the witches to get the spells and followed Bloom through the forest.

Bloom's POV:

I was about halfway through the forest when I heard footsteps behind me. I whirled around, ready to attack whoever was following me. Before I could react, I was grabbed by the neck and pressed against a tree. I tried to struggle, but my attempts at escaping were futile.

"You think you can get away so easily, princess?" A voice whispered in my ear in low menacing tones. My eyes widened as I tried to pry his hands off. My hands clawed at his iron grip, but to no avail. I started to wheeze and cough. Noticing this, he let go slightly, allowing me to get air into my lungs. "I thought you cared. I saw you kissing the Eraklyon boy." He growled.

"Valtor, don't be like this. I do care. I can explain." I said. He let go of my neck, but still kept me pinned to the wall, preventing me from moving. He narrowed his eyes, gaze never leaving me.

"Look who's talking. You destroyed Domino. You killed my parents! You've shown your true colors."

"No, I think you've shown your true colors, Bloom." He hissed, leaning closer. His hold became oddly possessive. Our faces were less than a foot apart. Without a second thought, I leaned up and kissed him. My now free arms slid up to his chest. Electricity flowed through my veins as he held me to him. We pulled away and he stared at me intensely.

"I worked for the Ancestral witches. I am basically their pawn. They gave me power to attack Domino, my home. But I suppose it was my fault." He sighed.

"I don't blame you. A power-hungry wizard with nothing to do, offered a chance to kill off an entire planet. Of course, you were leaping at the opportunity."

"I wasn't always like this." He said, no emotion could be detected behind his words. I felt like I had hurt him.

"I'm playing. No need to get all emotional on me. But seriously, with the witches controlling you, what else could you have done?" I leaned into his chest.

He smirked, "Who said they were dead, princess. Perhaps there might have been a few loopholes you failed to consider."

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" I gasped. He nodded and I hugged him. Suddenly his expression became serious and he grabbed me by my forearms, pinning them on either side of my face. He leaned in so close, I could feel his breath on my face.

"Where have you been? You have had me worried sick."

"I've been to places."

"How enlightening," he drawled.

"Speaking of, I need to go. Bye Valtor." I said quickly and turned to leave. I felt him grip my wrist and twirl me around to face him.

"I still need those answers you stood me up for." He said. Valtor linked his arm with mine, leading us to Cloud Tower.
