Hey! I know I wasn't going to post this early until I got 4 reviews, but I have three and I'm excited for this chapter, so I thought 'Why not?' and I am posting it. I'm already almost done with the next chapter and the feedback I get on this one will determine the details on the next chapter. Let me know what you all think and any ideas for the next chapter. I will be the same drill as before with the reviews. 4 additional reviews = update in 2 days. 3 = 4 day update. 2 = update in 6 days.
xXxNeko-ChanxX: Thank you so much. :) I don't know maybe I will count it ;) And I feel you. School sucks, 3 hours of homework a night. I just can't wait to graduate and be done. I am going to read your story. I know it is going to be great! It's not really a big problem if it is in German.
Guest: Thank you :) Bloom x Valtor is my favorite ship for winx club.
MeltingLove: Thanks :). You will see why "Bloom" was throwing herself at Valtor in this chapter.
Without further ado, here is Chapter 3, enjoy! :)
Icy's POV:
I walked into Cloud Tower, glancing at the clock. 2:59 A.M. I sighed, letting the disguise spell fall, flame red hair melting into snow white. My powers were drained from the night's activities. It took a great deal of magic to create a functioning doppelganger, keep an illusion up, and go through Alfea's protection bubble, but thanks to the power that Valtor had given me and my sisters, it was all possible. I had to go into that redhead loser's room and get her bag and rabbit. I had teleported it all back later, but that wasn't the point. The walk from Alfea had not been a pleasant one, considering the time and my major power drain. Darcy and Stormy were already dead asleep, tired from the midnight heist at Alfea. I looked at the doppelganger I had created to take my place, asleep on my bed. With a wave of my hand, she was gone. I could hear Valtor shuffling around in the adjacent room. I wonder what he is up to. Sighing, I walked over to the small desk in the corner and sat down. I held my head in my hands, losing myself in my thoughts.
I knew it! Argh!
My fist slammed against the table in anger and jealousy.
Why does he like her?! I'm clearly better than that loser!
I recalled the night's events:
After the four of us worked out the details in the plan I had suggested, Stormy and Darcy left to get some food. I stayed in Valtor's office admiring him as he went about. His angular features shifting slightly as he flipped through spell books. He was so hot. I wondered if he was still single. I had noticed him taking an interest in Bloom. He was, after all, Mr. Subtle (note sarcasm).
He is a damn good kisser.
That thought echoed through my mind. I reached up to touch my lips, remembering the feeling of his soft lips on mine.
I knew what I was doing wasn't right, but I couldn't help myself. He was Valtor, who liked Bloom. I was Icy who liked Valtor. So, if Icy became Bloom, Valtor would technically be with Icy. That stupid pixie Bloomrunning away was the perfect opportunity for me to act. I put on a disguise and pretended to be Bloom. I never knew how much of a gentleman Valtor was. He insisted on dropping "Bloom" at Alfea so nothing would happen to her in the woods after we talked at Cloud Tower. I knew some things about Bloom, but I still answered some of Valtor's questions with random lies that I thought of last minute.
I heard my stomach rumble and quietly walked out of the room. I was headed to the cafeteria to take whatever edible thing they had left in there. I felt my feet falter at the room Valtor was in. I looked through a crack in the door. He was leaned back in the chair, his head rolling to the side, his hair partially covering his face. His jacket was hung up on the back of chair and he had a spell book in his limp hand.
He looks so perfect.
I grabbed a blanket and went into the room. I took the spell book, marked his page and placed it on the desk. I took the hair out of his face and draped the blanket over his sleeping form. I pressed a gentle kiss on his cheek and left the room, taking one last look behind me before shutting the door. I went to the cafeteria and scoured the fridge. I found leftover Chinese food and a couple of sodas. I took a Sprite and the food and sat down at one of the tables of the huge room to eat.
A sudden thought crossed my mind, almost making me choke. I coughed a couple of times before taking a few sips of the Sprite to calm my throat.
If I find Bloom and get her taken care of, I will be able to have Valtor all to myself. Once he realizes his precious princess is gone, he will grow to love me.
An evil grin crossed my face. I summoned two coffee shots and took them. My tiredness melted away, and I could feel my powers start to regenerate.
I heard her friends crying about her last being seen on Zenith. I'll start there and trace her power trail.
I raced to the room my sisters were sleeping in and tried to wake them up. When they didn't respond, I froze their beds solid. They shot out of bed along with some colorful language and a few hexes in my direction. I explained my plan, leaving out the part where Valtor would be mine. They agreed, seeing the opportunity to knock out one of our strongest rivals. Stormy scribbled out a note and we were off.
Valtor's POV:
I awoke with a start.
Where am I?
As I took in my surroundings, I realized that I had fallen asleep at my desk. Someone had placed a blanket on me and taken the spell book from me and put it on the desk. Upon further inspection, I realized that they had marked the page. I also noticed a note tucked between one of the pages. I picked it up and looked at the messy but legible writing. It read:
"Valtor:
We had something come up that we needed to take care of. We won't be back until later and we just wanted to let you know.
-The Trix
I leaned forward, thinking about last night's events.
There was something off about Bloom. It was like she didn't want to be near me. Even when we were talking at Cloud Tower, she seemed nervous, like she didn't want to be around me. Normally she was pretty comfortable around me. Even if she wasn't, this was a whole new level of anxiety I had felt rolling off of her in waves.
I needed the spells from Alfea in order to become more powerful and I had an idea on how to get them.
Bloom's POV:
I wandered through the empty caverns of my newfound sanctuary. This was a place where I could relax and think. I couldn't believe that I was almost an Enchantix fairy. I had found a book that led me to a place called Pyros. There, a woman named Maya greeted me, explaining the planet's history. I went there to spar with the islands dragons to strengthen my powers. Maya said that if my powers were strong enough, in theory, I could force an Enchantix transformation. It had its downsides, though. My powers would be incomplete and weaker than the other girls', but my Dragon Fire could compensate for that. I would also be prone to dark magic flare-ups, which wouldn't be that serious, but could send my powers into a fritz. I was headed to my last training session. I transformed into my winx form. As soon as the blinding light faded, I hit the ground running, preparing to take off. I jumped off a cliff and my wings took effect, pulling me into the air. I soared into the sky and arrived at Pyros in about 20 minutes. I found a dragon and started to spar with it. I saw Maya standing out of range, watching. She smiled at me and I smiled back. I had almost defeated the huge beast when a blast hit the ground, inches away from me. I made a cloud of smoke that started to make me cough. Maya grabbed my wrist and we ran into the shelter she had created in case the dragons started to attack. I saw a glint in her eye as she spoke.
"If you defeat them, you will have enough power for the Enchantix."
"There is no way I'm going out there, my power is practically drained from all this training." I said. She didn't care. She opened the door of the shelter and before I knew it, I was outside and she had locked it behind. Sighing, I looked around for the attackers. The Trix. Icy spotted me and fired attack upon attack. I fired back as best I could, but with my low power levels, I was hit by many of them. As she got closer, I focused all my remaining power on hitting Icy. When Icy was about 2 feet away from me, I fired it at her. A mixture of dark and light magic hit her square in the stomach, blasting her back. Darcy and Stormy flew towards me, and all I could think about was having more power to fight them off. I felt a tingling in my chest and a blinding light surrounded me. I sensed my power levels go up and I felt reenergized.
So this is what Enchantix is like.
How would I know?!
With my new heightened powers, I quickly fought off the two witches. I heard Maya come out of the safe room and fire something at them. Suddenly, they were turned into little girls. I landed on the ground exhausted. Maya ran over with a bottle of water, which I finished. She congratulated me on my new powers and I headed on my way.
"I'll visit soon. Take care, Maya."
"Good luck, Bloom!" And I was off. My new larger wings enabled me to fly faster than ever before and I reached Shadow Haunt in record time. It was time to tell my friends about my new powers. I zoomed through the air and was soon at the school for fairies. I saw a group of familiar hair colors from above and swooped down to greet my friends. I gently touched down behind them.
"Miss me?" I said.
"Bloom!" Stella squealed, loud enough to make me deaf. I was immediately surrounded by the group, shedding tears of joy. As they let go, Flora said, "You got your Enchantix! Bloom that's wonderful!" The girls all inspected my new transformation and I explained how I was able to earn it.
"We thought you were kidnapped by Valtor." Musa said.
"Umm no I wasn't." I said.
"Oh, so he's not that big a liar." Layla spoke up.
"What do you mean?" I asked. They filled me in on everything that had happened. As the sun set, we headed inside, finally relaxed for a change.
The peace did not last long. We were all awoken from our sleep at around 1 A.M. by a jolt to Alfea's protection bubble.
"Let's go girls! Enchantix!" Musa yelled. We all transformed.
"You guys go ahead, I have something to take care of, but I will catch up." I said. The girls nodded and we went in different directions. I headed to the secret library and sealed the entrance with Shadow Fire magic so no one could enter until the seal was removed. Once I was sure that the seal was strong, I sped through the dark as fast as my wings would take me. Normally, the halls weren't dark at night, but any available power was diverted to the protection bubble. As I got outside, I looked to see if anyone needed help. They seemed to have everything under control. I hid behind some bushes, detransforming to conserve power. I sat there, watching for any surprise danger. The sky was illuminated by a flash of blue in the shape of Valtor's mark and a familiar figure appeared. Valtor had just arrived. He yelled something about us surrendering to his will.
"Dream on, Valtor!" A fairy yelled.
"Very well then, witches, attack!" He yelled.
Wait, so they weren't even TRYING until now?!
Dark magic users think differently than light magic users. So some things he noticed right off the bat didn't even cross your mind. I think pretty similarly to him, and I can tell you that he is trying to get everyone's attention away from him so he can get in unnoticed. Notice how the fairies are too busy trying to fire at the attacking witch zombies, but aren't paying attention to the cracks in the barrier. That's his plan. Once the barrier is down, the fairies don't stand a chance.
So we need to strengthen it.
Oh my goodness, you know how to THINK?!
Your sarcasm kills.
I remembered a spell that I read about in a book when I was in Shadow Haunt. I focused my powers, light and dark, on strengthening the barrier, and my spell activated as soon as the original protection bubble failed, buying the fairies some time. I was straining my magic to keep the bubble up and I didn't know how long it would hold. A dark orange aura surrounded me and I saw some of the fairies around my hiding place get pushed away because of the winds produced by the sheer power the spell required. I was fighting to hold my concentration. I sensed some of the fairies snap out of it and add magic to the shield, strengthening it further. Half of the fairies added to the shield while the other half fought against the attackers. I felt the load on my magic decrease as others shared it with me.
Valtor's POV:
I warned Alfea and offered them a chance to surrender, but the stubborn idiots thought they stood a chance. As soon as their bubble was down, they would be easily defeated. And even better was the fact that they were completely oblivious to the cracks starting to form in their shield. A flash caught my eye. A fairy was completely surrounded in a dark orange aura. At first I thought she was a witch because she wasn't transformed, but then I realized that all of Cloud Tower's witches were under my control.
I didn't know they taught powerful spells here.
She glowed orange, her hair flying wildly around her. Some of the fairies around her were thrown back, showing the true power of the spell. I could feel the dark magic mixed with the light and couldn't help but wonder who that fairy was.
"Bloom." Darcy growled from beside me, just like she read my mind.
"I didn't know she could still use the dark magic from Shadow Haunt." Stormy thought out loud before she was shushed by both of her sisters.
There's something they're not telling me. I'll have to ask about it later.
I signaled to the witches to distract the fairies and focused my power. It took some effort, but I managed to get across the new bubble. I chuckled to myself as I walked into Alfea, ready to get the spells.
Bloom's POV:
See, look, he's going in now.
Let's go in after him.
You are crazy.
I said a spell that would leave a portion of my magic to act as a reserve for the shield. I quickly murmured an invisibility spell using dark magic and crept into the dark halls of Alfea. I heard his footsteps echoing through the empty corridors. I followed him, keeping my distance. I stopped far away from him as I heard him stop. He tried to open the door to the secret library, but he was unable to. I smirked, unable to help myself. I heard him whisper something and got closer, straining my ears to hear what he was saying. I became lost in my thoughts and lost awareness of my surroundings. I walked straight into his chest. My eyes widened as I realized the severity of my mistake. I backed up as quietly as I could, trying to put distance between us.
"Who's there?" He called out, forming good sized two fireballs in his hands. I gulped, knowing that if he hit me with those, I would not come out unscathed. "I know you are there, show yourself before I make you visible, with fire." I didn't like the sound of that, so I took a deep breath and dropped the illusion, turning to run. I was halfway down the hall before I was grabbed by waist. Valtor held me tight by the arms at an angle that prevented me from struggling.
His voice was low, "Bloom. Do you really think you are faster than me?"
I felt the heat rise to my cheeks, "It was worth a shot."
"A weak fairy like you can only dream of defeating me." He growled and threw me into the wall. I cried out. My head was spinning. He grabbed me roughly by the arms and slammed me to the ground. Black spots clouded my vision.
What is he doing? I have never seen him this violent.
Stand your ground.
How? I barely get a chance to get my head up before he pushes me down again.
Give me control. Now.
Fine. But nothing too evil.
I felt myself being pulled back as she took over. It felt like I was watching something through another's eyes. My dark half hit Valtor again and again, barely giving him the chance to catch his breath after each blast of magic. He was on his knees, breathing deeply. I could see that she had done a lot of damage to him.
Stop! You'll hurt him.
He thinks he has a right to attack us! I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine!
No! Please! Just stop. I want control back.
Whatever. But don't come crying to me when he starts attacking again.
I felt myself getting sucked back into control. I looked at him. We had really done a number on each other. I watched Valtor closely, bracing for another attack, but it never came. Instead, he just sat there. I slowly edged closer to him. I muttered a healing spell and touched his arm carefully. A yellow glow surrounded him for a moment before fading. He looked up and touched my arm, almost like he was making sure I was real. I jumped back wincing in pain. Something flickered in his golden orbs. I was about to get up and leave when I felt his hand grip my wrist with no intent of letting go. He roughly pulled me down into a sitting position. He muttered something indecipherable under his breath and waved his hand around me and I felt the pain instantly fade away.
"Thank you." I nodded and tried to get up again before being roughly pulled down again.
His voice was low, "Where do you think you're going?"
The tone of his voice scared me a little, so I sat back down.
"I'm sorry." I froze. I had never imagined those two words ever coming out of Valtor's mouth.
I took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, too."
"We need to talk."
"Yes, we do."
He got onto his feet and helped me up. He grabbed my arm and yanked me towards the back door. We walked to the forest in silence. When we were deep in the forest, he broke the silence. His voice was eerily calm.
"You never said anything about this whole thing when we talked earlier." He said gesturing around me.
"What are you talking about? I only came back a few hours before tonight. I barely got any sleep because you decided to come barging in at freaking 1 A.M.!" He gripped my arms tightly, pinning them against a tree.
"If there is one thing I hate most, it is getting lied to, sweetheart." Valtor growled.
"But, I'm not lying." I shouted.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Bloom. I thought you were good person." He easily picked me up and slammed my back into the tree, knocking the wind out of me. I took a few shallow inhales, trying to catch my breath. He lifted me up and it looked like he was going to drop me. He let go and I screamed. Right before I hit the ground, he grabbed me. "I am giving you one last chance to tell me the truth, Bloom. Or should we continue where we left off?" He said, threatening to drop me for real this time.
"But, I'm telling you! I never talked to you earlier! I didn't even come back to Alfea until this afternoon!" I yelled at him. "But it is what it is, and if you don't believe me, then fine." I said, wrestling myself out of Valtor's grip. I gave him a firm push in the chest and started to walk to Alfea. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to his chest.
"What is it with you and leaving, princess?" He growled.
"Let me go!" I yelled, trying to fight against his iron grip, but to no avail. All I thought of was getting away. Something inside me snapped and I felt the tingling burn of dark magic flow through me. All of a sudden, I was launched back from Valtor's arms. I regained my balance and ran. As I reached Alfea, the girls, who were still lingering outside, saw me and started running to me.
This must have been the flare-up Maya told me about.
Yes, it was. This was one of the weaker ones. They only get stronger. You have to figure out how to restrain them.
We need to get out of here. I don't have much magic left.
Sure thing.
Just as Stella was about to leap and hug me, I disappeared in a puff of smoke. I found myself at the entrance to Shadow Haunt. I walked inside and headed for the place I had found.
Valtor's POV:
I lifted myself off the ground and dusted off my coat. I stalked after Bloom. Since when did she use dark magic, especially the strong variety. She had some explaining to do. As I reached the edge of the forest, I scanned the area for signs of her. Her pathetic friend, the blonde airhead, raced to her so fast in her absurdly tall heels, I was surprised she didn't fall flat on her face. Just as she was about to leap at Bloom, the redhead disappeared in a cloud of smoke. The blonde lost her balance and fell. As the rest of her group caught up (They had enough brains to realize that they shouldn't run so fast in their ridiculous heels.), the girl with midnight hair laughed at the blonde before helping her up. They talked about something, but I was too far away to hear. They trudged back to the building after what seemed like forever. As soon as they were gone, I cast an invisibility spell on myself. The spell I needed to track her wasn't too hard, it was actually one of the first ones Cloud Tower witches learned. I traced her magical signature and traced her location to Magix.
I cast the spell to follow her.
At Alfea:
The remaining Winx girls barged into Mrs. Faragonda's office, throwing open the doors and demanding to meet with the headmistress. A tired looking Faragonda stumbled out, looking at the girls.
"Headmistress, Bloom just teleported away and we want to find her!"
The sleepy headmistress wasn't really paying attention and just handed them the spell book. When they had teleported, Faragonda realized her mistake.
"They will probably learn from this." And with that, she went back to sleep. The girls arrived on Zenith. "
That's strange, I don't detect her magical signature here." Tecna said. "That means the spell didn't work." They retried the spell several times, to no avail.
"I don't get it. The spell was supposed to take us to the light magic realm which she was in." Stella said. They headed to Alfea, wondering what could have caused the spell to malfunction.
Bloom's POV:
As I walked, I got the strangest feeling, like someone was there with me. I turned around quickly, but didn't see anybody. I relaxed and continued walking. All of a sudden, hand wrapped around my waist and another covered my mouth, muffling my screams.
"If you agree to stop screaming like a banshee, I will let you go." An all too familiar voice drawled. I nodded and I felt him slowly take his hand off my mouth, but he held my waist firmly in a somewhat possessive grip.
"What do you want?" I said, crossing my arms. It felt weird because he was holding me close, but I didn't care.
"Hello to you too, princess" He said with an amused smirk.
Instead of responding, I tried to pick a fight.
"Earlier, you were calling me a liar! Now here you are acting like nothing happened! I demand an explanation!" He glowered at me.
"About that. You really think you can make something up? You were with me that day and I can prove it." He pulled out his phone with a picture of him and supposedly me sharing a chair in Cloud tower.
"That isn't me!" I yelled at him.
"Bloom, I didn't realize you were stupid enough to lie even I have proof you can't argue."
"I'm done, Valtor. You don't want to believe me then that's okay." Every muscle screamed at me to leap into his arms and apologize, but my brain wasn't having it. I stormed off, heading through the many twists and turns in the caves towards the entrance. He pulled me back, "I would think that you were smart enough to realize that I am not going to let you get away." I huffed.
"Might as well stay. I guess I have some unanswered questions, like HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GOING TO ACCUSE ME OF LYING WHEN THAT ISN'T EVEN ME?!"
"I personally think that if anybody is asking questions, it should be me." He said in a voice that sent shivers down my spine. I was falling for him, but I would never admit it to anyone who asked.
"Now, here is number one." He said, picking me up easily and carrying me to a nearby cave. We spent at least an hour in there, him asking questions about where I had been and the dark magic I was using and me answering them. I gave him really vague answers for the ones that concerned my dark magic, and I guess he figured that he wasn't going to get a lot of them, so he stopped asking them. After a while, he asked one that particularly caught my attention. "Why did you run away in the forest?"
"I don't know. I just… I felt like I needed to leave. You weren't believing the truth and I just…" I trailed off.
"You were scared." He reasoned. My silence gave me the answer. His lips pursed into a thin line and he nodded. The silence between us was unnerving.
"Valtor." He looked up.
"Hm?"
"I want to ask you a question."
"I guess it wouldn't hurt."
"Why did you come after me?" After a moment of silence, he chuckled darkly.
"You just don't get it, do you?" He said walking closer. With every step he took, I crept back. I gulped when my back hit the wall of the cave. Time seemed to slow down as he crept closer and closer. He lifted my chin with his gloved hand, looking into my eyes. I looked into his gold eyes, searching for any emotions. He ran his thumb across my bottom lip, narrowing his eyes. Before I could say anything, he leaned forward pressing his lips onto mine. I didn't feel any sparks, just a blazing fire as he kissed me. I subconsciously moved my hands to his chest, my eyes sliding closed. I felt his hand tangled in my hair, pulling me closer and his arm around my waist. When he pulled away, my lips were tingling with desire. I didn't want him to let me go, but we needed air.
"Does that answer your question?" he mused, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear. I didn't say anything. I felt the heat radiating from my face. He smirked, "I'll take that as a 'yes'." I turned away from him. An unfamiliar ringtone rang out, scaring me. I yelped.
"I didn't know you were that much of a chicken." He said. I could hear the smirk behind his words. I turned around to retort, but closed my mouth when I saw the look on his face as he looked at his phone.
This guy looks so strange with a phone.
He looked from me to his phone before he scowled. "It's about time I introduced you to you."
"What?" I said, but he paid no attention. He walked swiftly with concentration. He looked like he would kill who or whatever that got in his way. He grabbed my arm and walked face forward, dragging me behind. He conjured a portal and walked through it. We were inside Griffin's old office at Cloud Tower. He shoved me into the closet, with a "Stay there and watch."
I did as I was told and after a minute, a redhead that looked awfully familiar sauntered in. I felt the illusion spell on her the minute she entered. She walked right up to Valtor and kissed him. I couldn't help but feel a spark of jealousy
"I missed you." She said, plastering herself onto Valtor's body. I wondered if she was related to Diaspro.
I can't believe he thought that was you. You act nothing like that.
He reached an arm around her waist. She kissed him again, thinking he was going to kiss back. He stood still like a statue while she kissed him. Out of nowhere, he grabbed her by the back of the neck, throwing her against the wall. He hit her with blast after blast.
He's going to kill her. Oh well, she deserves it.
No. We have to help her.
You and your heroism.
Ignoring my dark half's comment, I focused my power on to the weak imposter. She was slumped against the wall, bruised and bloody with Valtor slowly walking to her like a predator about to eat his prey.
Get out of here.
Her eyes widened as she swiveled her head around.
That doesn't matter. Valtor won't stop until you are dead. He will rip you apart. Frankly, I don't care who you are under the illusion, but I do not want you dead on my conscience, so I will help you get away, but you have to agree not to come near Valtor as me again. Do we have a deal?
I saw her nod from across the room and with a snap of my fingers, I teleported her out into the forest, cloaking her magical energy so Valtor couldn't find her. He snapped to attention and growled, "Where did she go? I wasn't done with her!"
I got out of my hiding place and went to Valtor. "It's okay."
He looked at me and gathered me into his arms as a wordless apology. I hugged him back.
"Mine. All mine." He breathed into my hair before kissing me passionately. I kissed him back, moaning a little. God, kissing Valtor felt so right. He pulled me to his chest, "I'm sorry for calling you a liar."
"I'm sorry for not believing you either." I said. "Are we cool?"
"We're cool, princess" he chuckled.
"I have to go. My friends will be worried." I said reluctantly.
"At least let me walk to Alfea so I know you are safe."
"Fine." He walked me back to Alfea and we stood on the edge of the forest.
"Bye, murderer- I mean Valtor. Have a good kill- I mean night." I said quickly trying to hide my errors. He eyed me suspiciously. As if he could read my mind, he said, "Your parents are still alive, you know that, right?" I turned beet red, hugging him before running off to Alfea.
As soon as I entered my dorm, I was tackled by five worried fairies.
"Where were you?!" Stella said.
"We were worried, Bloom!"
"Are you hurt?"
I debated telling them about Shadow Haunt.
No.
They deserve to know.
I don't think it is a good time. Trust me.
Okay, I won't tell now.
"I'm fine, girls. You don't need to worry about me."
"Are you kidding?!"
"Bloom, are you there?"
"Oh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention. There's something I need to tell you. You remember how on Shadow Haunt how I was turned and I was supposedly turned dark? Well that's not true."
I explained everything about my dark magic to them.
"So, Darkar didn't turn you dark, he just activated the half of you that had dark magic. That means, you're telling us we have dark magic, too." Tecna said.
"Yes, but it takes a certain amount of negative energy to activate. I'm also saying that dark magic may be the key to defeating our enemies." I didn't mention Valtor.
"I'm not sure about this guys." Flora said. "What if it taints our magic and turns us into witches?"
I smirked (Valtor was bound to rub off on me at some point.) and said, "Relax, you remember what we were taught early this year. Every power has a light and dark half, and learning how to use dark magic will not turn you into witches. I understand if you don't want to do it. I will show you how, and if we absolutely need dark magic to win a battle, you can activate it for yourselves."
"Sounds good!" Flora looked reassured.
"Wait, why are you telling us this now?" Stella said. I swear she could read me like an open book.
"I'm telling you this because I am leaving. I don't when or if I will be back, but I'm telling you this so that you will be strong enough to win every battle."
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to be staying on Earth with Mike and Vanessa for about a month, but that is not for certain. I will be moving around a lot. If you are in an emergency and need me, take these." I handed them each a little circle with a button in the center. "Just push the button, and I will be there."
"When are you leaving."
"I am leaving in a few minutes. I will miss you girls so much. I love you all." I said through my tears. They all surrounded me in one big group hug. We all walked to the courtyard. The ground was glowing in a circle, the protection bubble would be going up soon. We all hugged one final time before I transformed and flew off, blowing them a kiss before I flew into the sky.
