Hi! It's Paw back with the second chapter.
This chapter is shorter than the last, but this is the average length of chapters. I keep them approximetly 2, 000 - 3, 000 words long, with a few exceptions. This just makes sure that I update quicker and that it's an easier read for you all.
Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club.
So, in this chapter we will see more about the two characters mentioned at the very end of last chapter (Bloom found out that they were her brother and sister). We will also see more consequences Bloom has because of her wish.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who read the last chapters. And a big thank you to those who reviewed, favourited, and followed this story.
Enjoy!
The Obvious Wishes
"Bloom, go!" Daphne hissed. She held a shield that protected them from the brown haired girl's power attacks. Mariam was on the ground, in front of the flag, battling with Oritel. "Get the flag!"
"What?" Bloom gasped. She dodged a rouge spell from below her by flying up a little higher. Without giving Daphne a chance to respond, Bloom took off at an unbelievable amount of speed towards the other team's side. A wall of water was right down the middle of the room, separating the two sides.
She froze and looked around at the length of the water wall to see if there was any break to sneak through.
Seeing none, Bloom took a deep breath and flew at the new high speed her new wings gave her through the water fall. She burst through at the other end of the waterfall in a second. Her hair was soaked, the weight pulling the curls so her hair touched the middle of her thighs.
Bloom looked around the other half of the room. It was bare; no obstacles in her way, except for the blue flag at the corner of the room.
The red haired fairy started to fly at high speeds towards the opposing team's flag, but she didn't get very far.
She was thrown from the air and to the ground from pure weight and shock. A warm body was pressed up against hers as she and the extra weight sailed to the ground. They crashed into the dirt with a thud, Bloom taking most of the blow as she was on the bottom.
A shimmering appeared above her, slowly revealing a guy around the same age as Bloom. His shaggy red hair hung in his cyan eyes and he was panting.
"Gosh, that was easy." He gasped. Bloom tried to sit up, but his hands pushed her shoulders back into the ground.
"Am I out?" Bloom panted.
"Of course not, Bloom." The guy answered. He smiled down at Bloom. "I don't have my sword."
Bloom kicked her feet up and flipped backwards. The guy was forced to flip around with her and landed on the ground roughly. He groaned when he hit the ground and his eyes were tightly squeezed shut.
Bloom got up from the ground and started sprinting towards the blue flag. She grabbed it from the ground and jumped up, her wings fluttering as she took off in flight.
"Nick, I got it!" A younger voice shouted. The water separated just enough for the girl Daphne was battling to fly in. Nick got up from the ground as the girl swooped to give him the flag.
"Bloom, toss it!" Daphne screamed. She burst through the waterfall and held her hand over her head. Bloom flew a few feet and tossed the flag to Daphne.
The blonde fairy dove towards the ground to catch the falling flag and then flew back out of their side.
Bloom looked over to the guy and the girl. The girl was on the ground, bent over with her hands on her knees, her chest heaving as she tried desperately to catch her breath.
The guy was climbing up the rock wall, heading towards the basket at the top of the room. He was nearly to the top; all he had to do was jump to where the basket was hanging.
A blast of water flew towards Bloom. The fire fairy lunged to the side, narrowly dodging the stream. Another blast of water flew at her, but Bloom rolled out of the way, once again she narrowly missed getting soaked.
The brown haired girl stood on the ground as she stared intently at Bloom. Water attacks flew out rapidly from her outstretched hands as she whispered words under her breath.
Bloom dodged another attack by flying up into the air.
"Dragon Fire!" She cried. Her hands were together, her palms facing towards the young girl.
Nothing happened.
Bloom lifted her hands away from the attack stance and looked at them in disbelief.
"Wait, what?"
"Mighty Wave!" The girl cried. A blue blast of water exploded from her hands and knocked Bloom out from the sky before she could react. Bloom went spiralling to the ground and hit the dirt face on.
A buzzer went off around the room and the waterfall disappeared. Bloom looked to her side, only to see the blue flag was on top of one of the rock formations, Daphne and Mariam in one of the boxes along the wall to show that they were out. Oritel held his sword in his hands as he stood on top of the rock formation beside the flag.
Bloom looked at the basket on the side of the room that she was on. The guy, Nick she recalled, was hanging on the edge of the rock wall and the red flag was in the basket.
"Hey, you alright, Bloom?" The brown haired girl asked. She walked up to the red haired fairy and kneeled beside her. Bloom rolled so she was on her back and rubbed her shoulder.
"Who are you?" Bloom asked. The brown haired girl smiled and rubbed Bloom's head affectionately.
"Funny." She said. The girl stood up and Nick ran over to her. He threw his arms around her and laughed happily.
"Nerina, you were great!" He said. The girl smiled and hugged him tightly back.
"Thanks. You were good too."
"Bloom!" Daphne came running over to her. She was already changed back into the wrap top and short and she kneeled beside Bloom. The red haired fairy slowly sat up, still rubbing her shoulder. Daphne frowned and looked up at the two others.
"Nikolaos, Nerina, what did you two do to poor Bloom!?" Daphne asked. The two looked at Daphne with frowns of confusion on their face.
"What do you mean? She's been through worse." Nerina, the brown haired girl, said. She had transformed from her blue and pink fairy form into a pair of dark blue shorts and loose white long sleeved shirt.
She was beautiful. Nerina had slightly tanned skin, like she spent most of her time in the sun. Her golden eyes were just as like Stella's in color, but had Daphne's spark of life in them. Her brown hair was slightly waved and hung around her shoulder blades, her bangs just as long as the rest of her hair.
Bloom was stunned at how well she was a mix of Daphne, Oritel, Mariam and herself.
"I tackled her." Nikolaos admitted. "But then she squashed me like a bug." He wore a white t-shirt and blue shorts. His flame red hair was extremely messy, sticking up in all directions and hanging in his cerulean eyes. His skin was just like Daphne's; pale and flawless.
"That was a good fight." Oritel praised. The rock formations were gone from the other side of the gym and Oritel was walking over to small group gathered around Bloom. Mariam was changed back into her queen garb and was trailing behind Oritel quickly. "I'm proud of you all. Nerina, good attack. You've improved with that attack with your new transformation."
"Thanks, father." Nerina smiled graciously.
"Bloom, what happened? Why did you use Daphne's attack?" Mariam questioned. Oritel turned from his youngest daughter to look at the red haired fairy and nodded his head in agreement.
"What do you mean?" Bloom asked. "Dragon Fire? That's my attack spell?"
"What?" Daphne asked. She had a frown on her face. "That's my attack. I've had that spell in my Winx, Enchantix, Nymphix, Soothixes, Dreamix and in my Divineix." Bloom almost didn't believe that the girl fiercely glaring at her was the same girl that sacrificed herself to save Bloom.
"What are you talking about Daphne?" Bloom gasped. She was starting to get angry. Who did Daphne think she was? Bloom had the Dragon Flame, not her! "I've had it in most of my transformations!"
"Umm, Bloom, darling?" Mariam questioned. Bloom spun around to glare at her mother.
"What!?" Bloom roared. Mariam stood up straighter and frowned at her daughter. Oritel took a step forward to step in front of his wife. Seeing the anger on her parents' faces, Bloom took a deep breath. "What?" She asked softer.
"Bloom, that is Daphne's spell." Mariam said. Bloom clenched her teeth together in annoyance.
"No!" Bloom snapped. She jabbed a finger at her chest. "That is my spell! I am the fairy of the Dragon Flame!" Daphne screamed in frustration.
"Dragon Fire!" Daphne roared. Her body was covered in a red glow and a blast of red fire shot out of her outstretched hands and exploded into the wall on the opposite side of the room adding to the scorch marks. "I am the fairy of the Dragon Flame, not you! Stop trying to steal my life!"
"You're stealing mine!" Bloom shrieked. Daphne screamed again and ran off to the door only a few steps away. She burst out of the room without another word.
"Bloom!" Mariam gasped. Nerina and Nikolaos both stood behind Bloom, their faces shocked.
"She is trying to be me! My god mom, what the hell is wrong with all of you!" Bloom shrieked. "I need to clear my mind; I'm going to ride Peg." Bloom hissed. With that, she took off running out of the door.
Bloom ran out the closest door that led outside. It was the west gardens which included the horse stables, luckily. Bloom sprinted out of the gardens and into the horse racing arena. Only then was when she slowed to a walk.
"Bloom!" Bloom groaned and turned around to see who was calling her only to see that it was her apparent brother was running after her. "Hey, Bloom!"
"Nikolaos?" Bloom questioned as he reached her.
"Thank the Dragon I found you." He said. "Mother and father are beyond fuming."
"Well, I'm fuming. Daphne is stealing everything!" Bloom gasped as realisation dawned on her once again. "Oh, wait." Bloom muttered.
She wasn't born with the Dragon Flame power. She got it when she was one years old, when the Ancestral Witches attacked Domino. That was the very day that Bloom changed with her wish.
Daphne gave Bloom her powers when she was being sent to Earth.
Bloom nearly fainted as she realised that she no longer had the Dragon Flame.
She began to lose her balance, but before she could fall to the ground, Nikolaos caught her. He lowered her to the ground and kneeled beside her.
"Bloom?" Nikolaos asked softly. "Are you alright?"
"Nikolaos," Bloom guessed. Seeing as the guy didn't correct her, she continued. "What is my power?" She asked slowly.
"Did you hit your head when I tackled you?" Nikolaos questioned, concerned. He felt her head for a fever and Bloom swatted his hand away before he could reach her skin.
"Please answer me, Nikolaos." Bloom pleaded.
"You're fairy of the white flame." Nikolaos answered confused. He studied her face. "Bloom, do you feel sick?"
"No, I'm fine." Bloom huffed. She put her head in her hands and held her breath to keep her sobs in.
During her wish for the life she had always wanted, she wished away her powers, her room, her clothes, her phone, her hair and got younger siblings.
She wished away her life on Domino.
Why did she make such a foolish wish? She changed her whole life that she had currently. She didn't know how to live in this new life! She didn't know any spell for her apparent power of white flames. Bloom was lost in her own life.
She needed to go home.
Her real home.
She wanted to go back to Earth, where she grew up. Everything made sense there; Vanessa always helped Bloom understand things.
Maybe if Bloom went back there, she could come to terms with this new life.
"Nikolaos," she chocked. "I need to go to E…" Bloom recalled nobody knowing about Earth, the magic-less planet that grew up in the Magic Dimension. She took a deep breath to recompose herself. "I need to go visit some… friends."
"Where?" He questioned.
"It doesn't matter. Will you be able to get a ship?" Bloom asked, desperately. She needed to get to Earth.
"Ummm… Yeah." He agreed. "Yeah, I can get a ship." Bloom let out the breath of air she didn't know she was holding.
"Great." Bloom breathed. Happiness fluttered in her chest. Her mother would help her cope with this problem.
"I'll fly though." He said. Bloom frowned.
"What?" Bloom asked, shocked.
"I'll fly." Nikolaos repeated.
"No." Bloom said. It was his turn to frown.
"Then you're not allowed to go. Mother and father want me to keep an eye on you to make sure you are alright. If you want to go, I will need to come. I guess I don't need to fly, but I need to keep an eye on you." Nikolaos agreed. Bloom bit her lip and frowned deeper.
"Fine!" She finally huffed. "You can fly, I guess." Bloom mumbled. "Let's go." Nikolaos got up from the ground and pulled Bloom to her feet. She pulled away from him and crossed her arms over her chest. "Lead the way."
"Alright." He agreed. Nikolaos turned from the horse stables and started walking back into the castle. "So, why did you want to ride Peg?" He asked, turning around to face Bloom.
"I always ride her when I'm upset or need to think. I have ever since I got her." Bloom said, a smile growing on her face. She loved her horse.
"Bloom, last time I checked, your horse is Bella. Daphne was given Peg." Nick replied. Bloom's smile disappeared instantly and her heart stung.
Daphne was stealing her life.
When they reached a staircase at the entrance to the west gardens, he started to climb down.
After many staircases, they reached thick doors. Nikolaos pushed open a heavy door and held it open for Bloom. She walked into the room and her breath caught in her throat.
This part of the castle must have been destroyed during the Ancestral Witches attack because Bloom never saw this room before.
It was a hanger filled with too many ships to count. They were of all kinds and Bloom didn't know which ship was what. Not one ship in the hanger looked like the ships they had at Red Fountain and that was the only type she knew.
"Whoa." Bloom breathed. She didn't have much time to admire the workers that worked on the ships or the beautiful sight of Domino's forest out the hanger wall as Nikolaos was already a few feet in front of her. "Nikolaos!" She jogged to catch up with the red haired boy.
"Huh?" He spun around to face her. "Oh, sorry."
"It's fine." Bloom mumbled. They resumed walking, Nikolaos walking a little slower than before. "So, um, how old are you turning?" Nikolaos turned his head to look at her but kept walking.
"Err… Bloom? My birthday was last month."
"Oh." Bloom said simply. "How old did you turn?"
"I turned eighteen." He said honestly. Nikolaos turned to look at Bloom with his eyebrow raised in question.
"Don't ask me if I'm alright. Everyone keeps asking me that and my answer is the same." Bloom muttered. He raised his hands in surrender.
"I won't ask you." Nikolaos said. Bloom didn't say anything else. Nick pointed to a smaller ship in the corner of the room. "Is this ship good?"
"Yeah." Bloom nodded her head. Nikolaos climbed up the ladder and climbed into the ship with Bloom following. He sat down in the pilot seat and Bloom sat beside him, her hands pulling the seat belt across her small body.
"Where are we going?" He asked. Bloom bit her lip as she evaluated how much she could trust the man in front of her. Should she be worried because her parents sent him to watch her? Should she trust him? She had met him not even an hour ago.
"We're going to Earth." She finally said. Bloom thought that because, apparently, he was her brother, so he would be loyal to her and keep her secret… Right?
She wasn't used to having a brother. Hell, she was only used to being an only child!
"Earth? Where the Great Dragon is that?" Nick asked, turning his chair around to face the red haired fairy.
"What about typing in these coordinates?" Bloom questioned. She leaned over and typed in a few numbers that represented where Earth was. After a few seconds of calculating, a result popped up for the dead magical place.
"It's dead, Bloom. Nothing's there" Nick pointed out.
"I know that is, but that's how we'll get to Earth." Bloom insisted. Nick raised his eyebrow at his older sister.
"Damn, you are persistent. Alright, I guess we'll try it. If we die, know that it's your fault." Nick muttered. He punched a few buttons before a low rumbled signaled that the engines were started.
Bloom leaned back into her chair and fiddled with her hands on her lap.
Why didn't anyone warn her that her wish would result in this? Why didn't anyone tell her that she would get not only her older sister, but two younger siblings? Why didn't anyone tell her she would be Bloom Fairy of the White Flame, not Bloom Fairy of the Dragon Flame?
Why didn't anyone warn her that she was going to be living a different life?
Bloom turned her chair away from Nick so he couldn't see her tears.
I hope you liked the chapter!
So, what do we think about Bloom's wish? She may have grown up in the Magic Dimension and got the family she'd always wished for, but she also changed her whole Domino and magical life. What does it mean that Bloom has the white flame, not the Dragon Flame? What does it mean that she has two other siblings? Will her Earth mother be able to help Bloom?
Note: I am prone to mixing and confusing the different dubs. Please forgive me for that. I am actually not too sure if the correct spell is "Dragon Fire" when the title of the power is called "Dragon Flame". If anyone wants to tell me in a review, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, sorry for all of the grammar issues and spelling issues!
Thanks for reading! The next chapter will be up as soon as possible.
Review please! I read every review and I love feedback!
Thanks,
Paw
