A/N: Updating has become a bit slow these days, but I am trying my best. Enjoy the chapter :)

Wind whirled around Stormy's ankles as she walked up the steps leading outside toward the large balcony outside their window overlooking the vast forest. It was only then she noticed how the weather suited her and despite the disastrous plan, she should have enjoyed the dark sky.

Stormy walked back and forth across the balcony, looking down at her feet. If Darcy had cursed jewelry, couldn't she be cursed herself, or did she already know when jewelry was different?

There was an idea that struck Stormy…Icy fought for it; she ignored everything she pretty much said.

Ever since the Winx managed to seal the Omega Dimension portal, and had lost Tecna, they were a bit more enlightened and even Icy had stopped trying to cause misery to Darcy's life.

But other than that, she was trying her best. Like the time she had caused a whole rack of roaches to erupt on one of her customers.

Days later, Darcy was having a difficult time taking in that Icy never meant it.

"That…" she was pulling on her hair now as she cursed Icy. How horribly selfish she was…there was times where Icy could help, and times when she'd completely turn her back on you…

"That's it, I'm leaving this place," she didn't want to stay any longer. It was the dead of the night, and she was still not sleeping. When she teleported to her workplace (one of the bedrooms upstairs), she saw that Stormy had texted her two hours ago.

Darcy, something important to do

"What is she talking about?" she wondered. "Well I am not going there."

Another text popped up, a coincidence since she had just checked it.

Darcy u there?

Be more clear, she texted. Then thought after a while, it wasn't Stormy who was being mean to her, it was Icy. O aright ill go there

"Valtor called," said Stormy, looking up at the sudden appearance of Darcy near the bedroom door. "It's night and we were sleeping, so…"

"Two hours ago?" Darcy raised an eyebrow. Stormy frowned.

"I was outside and the winds blow further. Time bends, you know."

"I thought you were sleeping," teased Darcy.

Stormy frowned, and then Icy stepped out from behind the door.

"Oh Darcy, there you are. It's about time. We'll go see what Valtor wants; after all, it's only been a minute since you've disappeared from your bed." Icy shrugged and twisted the doorknob.

The three witches trudged over where Valtor told them straight out (response to Icy's irritated question) that the specialists managed to contact Tecna somehow.

"What! I thought no one gets out of the Omega Dimension!" Darcy gasped.

"Well we did," Stormy muttered.

"It'll make it more difficult for them," Darcy whispered as she turned away. "Perhaps I can do something…"

But no one heard her.

Bloom had gone to the island of Pyros; she had no clue that they were organizing a mission to rescue Tecna. Even the Trix didn't know this…yet. Icy pointed out this was impossible; they could try and give up, all of them gone.

But Darcy had another plan. She was at work, of course, sitting behind the counter making a necklace when a fairy came up to her with brushed up cheeks.

"Hi," she said.

Darcy looked up, was she kidding- this wasn't a place to sit and chat. Fairies were so pathetic sometimes.

"Yes?' she asked.

"Um, I'm not a customer. I just wanted to compliment you on your wonderful shop; it's the best one on this street. It stands out from the others-" she took a deep breath. "-full of tricks and dark magic, it's so mysterious and yet one of the most fantastic magic there is."

Darcy didn't know what to say. Usually she wasn't the one to blush and say thank you to such compliments from tiny fairies looking up to her, but…

"Yeah, well, if you'd like to buy something just ask." She waved a hand and turned away. It didn't really mean much to her, just the usual stuff she heard.

"Thank you, and your name is… Carmine?" she asked, peering shyly at the card.

"Yes, yes," Darcy replied airily. Wasn't she used to that.

"Carmine? Can I ask you something?"

"Go ahead," Darcy said without really listening. She was extremely bored and wished she would leave her alone. This was a store, not a discussion session.

"Have you heard about a witch who took over Magix and escaped Lightrock prison?" the fairy bent down to catch her expression.

"Yes," Darcy said, now a bit wary. This sounded like her…

"The one who was sent to the Omega Dimension, and escaped that too, freeing Valtor?"

Okay, that was her.

"Well," said the fairy without waiting for an answer. "The middle one, Darcy-"

So that's what they called her, the middle one?

"-You remind me a whole lot like her."

A/N: The Trix finding out about Bloom leaving is coming soon, as for Darcy's plan, well, she'll have to find a way out… Sorry for the cliffhanger :P but please review!
