Hey guys, I got the next chapter done. P.S if you didn't know, I'm also writing a story called "Did I Make the Right Choice?"

Chapter 4: New Faces

Bloom walked down the narrow hallway.

"Where the hell am I going? And how is there a tunnel here. This is impossible, the dorm room walls are only about two feet think; this goes on for hundreds of feet, I think" she said in her head.

Bloom looked back and saw the way she had come in from was just a small speck of light, and she froze. She didn't know whether or to go back. If she didn't, she could get stuck here forever. Then again, if she did go back, the door may close and she may not ever get a chance to come here again. Bloom was a natural brave and curious person. She loved adventure and had many before, and now she was going to have another one.

Bloom was about a half a mile into the tunnel when she came into a three door split.

"Great" she thought "which one. Well when all else fails, pick the middle." Bloom then took a piece of paper which she had in her bag that she brought, and stuck it to the corner of the wall. "There" she said "now I won't get lost, hopefully." With that she walked down the trail, and unfortunately not knowing what was at the end of it.

Bloom walked about another half a mile when she heard a low noise. It almost sounded like a faint creek, but got louder and louder.

"Oh crap" she thought "what is that?" And before she could do anything, she saw something she really didn't want to see. "Ahhh!" she screamed, for coming directly to very quickly were cave bats, which could easy bite her flesh and inject its venom which could be fatal. She ran as fast as she could, but the bats were flying just as fast. Soon she realized that she was getting tired quickly and had to find a way to loose the bats.

"Come down Bloom, you need to focus." she said to herself. She was going through a dozen different tunnels and had no idea where she was now. "What to do, what to do. Oh what am I going to do? What am I saying, I can't do anything, I'm done for!"

"WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING!" a very angry voice screamed to seven faces.

Bloom was being watched by the winx club (that was the name that people gave the group when the rumor started) and they were not sure what to do. "

WELL!" Stella said, trying to get the others to think.

"Well, Stel, after not using my brain for over five years, its kind of hard to get it started quickly" Timmy said making the others chuckle.

Stella just looked emotionless at him and was ready to scream again but then Flora said "guys she's right and unless we do something, the one thing that could break the curse will be gone."

Brandon came up with an idea and said "girls, I know you haven't used your magic for a while, but can you get enough power to make another tunnel with a door that can be closed?"

The girls looked at each other and nodded. "We'll try" Tecna said as she and the other girls gave in a little magic.

First, Tecna was up. "Burning Laser" she said as she took the laser and made the door. "I'm up, beet blast" Musa said as the dropped chunk of rock that made the door bounced up to the air. Stella smiled and said "Super Nova Attraction" as the door was stuck to the wall. "Ok, Flora, now can you make some vines we can control to make the door go down?" Riven asked.

Flora nodded and said "ivy vines" and made the vines.

"Good now to get here" Helia said and then he whistled.

"What was that?" Bloom said as she heard the whistle.

Instinctively, she went in the direction the whistle was coming from and saw the door.

"Come here" a sweet voice said that was inside the room.

Bloom was confused, thinking she had lost her head, but then she realized the bats were right behind her and she went inside. She tripped while she was inside, and thought she was doomed for the bats could get her now. Right before the bats got in, however, she heard someone say "now" and saw the door close. That left Bloom in the dark, looking at eight new faces.

Bloom looked at them, at first thinking she was dead. These people had no feet, were floating, and had a green look to them. Bloom shook her head, hit herself, and blinked, but these things were still here.

"Oh boy, I must be dead or in a concussion. Or maybe the bats got me and this is the first effect." Bloom said to herself still staring at the eight objects.

"Why is she looking at us like that?" Stella said as she came close to Bloom.

Bloom screamed in fear.

"Wow" Timmy said covering his ears "she can really scream."

Bloom took deep breaths and got up quickly, only to find out she would fall down even quicker. She got up again and fell down again. "What's wrong with me?" she said as she looked to her foot.

"Oh dear" one of the objects said

"I think you have a twisted ankle. Let me see, I can help." With that the object got closer. Bloom was a little hesitant at first, but then she realized the amount of pain she was in let the brunette haired object take care of her.

"By the way" the object said "my names Flora. I'm the fairy of plants."

Bloom looked into the objects black eyes. At first they looked very fearful, but then showed Bloom that there was something very sweet, kind, thoughtful, and gentle about this girl.

"There is something about this scene that seems very familiar, like déjà vu." she thought to herself.

Then the blonde came up and said "that's Flora for you, always thinking of others. I'm Stella and this is my boy friend Brandon, that's Tecna and her boyfriend Timmy, that's Musa and her boyfriend Riven, and that's Flora's boyfriend Helia."

Everyone said hi and then Flora said "There, it's a cast of leaves. At least now you have support until you get out of here."

"Thanks" Bloom said "and I'm Bloom. I'm the princess of Sparx, I'm 22, and I'm only here to study royal lessons."

Everyone looked at Bloom and there was an awkward silence. Finally Helia asked "not to be rude Bloom, but do have a boyfriend?" Everyone was silent, waiting for an answer.

Bloom was kind of confused at this question and replied "well yea. His name is Jake and he's a close friend of mine also. Why?"

There was another awkward silence and Bloom thought she saw the girls tear for a second and then remembered something.

"Oh my god, oh my god! You're the people from the rumor of Barker. You're the sprits and the cursed ones. Wait; there are only eight of you. Where's…?" and before she could even finish her sentence, she heard a voice say "looking for me."

The others looked in fear, knowing who that angry and cold voice belonged to. "Oh no." they said to one another.

Bloom slowly turned around to see a ninth, extremely angry figure before her and all she could do was scream and say "Oh… My… God!"
