I woke up and saw light. No, no, wait. Not light. White. I woke up to white. Pure white. "Hello? Anyone here?" I asked. I walked around, trying to find out where I was. "Hello, Bloom." I heard a voice.

"Daphne?" I breathed. Daphne 'materialized' right in front of me. "Oh, Daphne, what did I do?" I asked as I looked up at her.

"You did nothing wrong." She smiled down at me. But that made me furious. Everyone was acting like I didn't kill Tecna.

"So killing a best friend isn't doing anything wrong, huh?" I asked with a very sarcastic tone to my voice.

"Bloom, you have to start believing us. You didn't know. You were trying to protect her and-"

"And I killed her. Listen to me, Daphne. I. Killed. Her. It's not something I can forget that fast. The scars of my actions will stay with me for the rest of my life. I won't wake up to the sound of taps on the computer keys. I won't wake up to Musa and Tecna fighting over whose turn it is to get the first shower. I let my friends down, I let the school down, I let Digit and the other pixies down and most of all, I let Timmy down. What's he going to think of me?"

"Bloom. You're not catching my point. Did you mean to kill Tecna?" She asked with a sort of 'force' to her voice.

"No!" I screeched.

Daphne started to fade, and I knew her time in this world was nearly over. "Well then. You have nothing to grieve. Yes, you can mourn her death, but grieving isn't necessary." She looked at her hands, which were near enough gone. "My time is almost up here. Take care of yourself, Bloom. And don't fret. Your pain is my pain and I can't stand seeing you in grief."

"Goodbye, Daphne."

"Goodbye. I love you, little sister."

"I love you too." We shared one last embrace and then, in the blink of an eye, she had disappeared, leaving me clutching nothing but thin air.

My eyes snapped open and I laid awake, trying to figure out where I was. Then I realized I was at my parents' new house. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the sleep and swung my legs over the side of the bed.

"Bloom? Are you awake, sweetie?" I heard my mum's voice call, after a knock.

"Yes, Mum!" She opened the door. She had just showered and was in a pink bathrobe, purple flip-flops and had a white towel swirled on her head, like an ice-cream.

"Good morning, sweetie." She smiled.

"Morning, Mum." I stood up and stretched.

"You have visitors downstairs." She said with a smile as she turned.

"Visitors? Who?" I asked.

"Let's just say they were ecstatic to find out that you were here." She winked and smirked knowingly. It was probably Andy, Mark and Ryo or maybe even Mitzi, though I doubted the latter option. "Get dressed and meet us downstairs." Mum turned and walked back into her room.

"OK, and Mum?!" I called.

"Yes, honey?" She poked her head out from her doorway.

"You don't happen to have a spare hairbrush, do you?" I asked as I walked over to the wardrobe, where I folded and stored my clothes from yesterday inside. Mum disappeared into her room and a few seconds later, a navy blue hairbrush came flying into my room. I stood up, stretched over to the doorway, held up my hand and caught it by the handle.

"Thanks, Mum!" He arm poked out of the hallway and gave me a thumbs up.

I put on my tank top and jeans but then I felt like I needed a change. I remembered a spell Stella showed me last year and changed my clothing to a ruffled orange, red and white striped thigh-length skirt, a red midriff top and orange ballet pumps. I brushed my hair and French braided it, brushing it over my left shoulder.

I ran downstairs and into the kitchen. There, all three of the girls: Musa, Flora and Layla jumped at me, enveloping me in a hug. "Hey, guys!" I said, trying my best to hug them all back.

"Bloom, we were so worried about you!" Flora said as they stepped back.

"I-I just needed to get away." I said sheepishly, blushing and looking down.

'You could have told us." Musa said, crossing her arms.

"Yeah! Girl, you gave us one hell of a fright. We woke up and you were gone!" Layla followed on.

"I told Miss Faragonda!" I said defensively.

"You think she would have come and told us? Bloom, she's the headmistress. She has tons of other stuff to do." Musa said, a frown edging its way onto her face.

"No..." I said slowly. "I meant that at least someone knew where I was."

Musa calmed down then, and her face softened.

"I guess you're right. Sorry, Bloom." She smiled sheepishly.

"Hey it's OK. You were just worried." We fell into an embrace.

When we broke away, I took a deep breath. "I'm going to have to talk to Timmy. I need to see how he is and apologize to him. I'm gonna go back to Red Fountain."

"Come on, then. They go on break soon. We need to get a move on if we're to catch them at free time." Musa said, pulling me by the hand.

"Musa, wait. I'm just gonna grab a roll." She let go and I took a bread roll from the bread bin. As I came out of the kitchen, I threw my arms round both my parents. "Bye, Mum. Bye, Dad. Thanks for everything."

"It was a pleasure, honey. Bye!" Dad smiled. I ran after the other girls.

Once outside, in an alleyway, we stood in the transformation stance. "Magic Winx! Enchantix!" I felt myself transforming.

"Who knows a teleportation spell? A good teleportation spell?" Layla asked as we landed safely on the ground.

"I do." I said taking Flora and Musa's hands with my own. "But close your eyes." They did as they were asked and I started to mouth the spell, occasionally checking that their eyes were still closed.

Once we were at Red Fountain's doorway, Helia, Riven and Nabu ran up to us. They all had a couple-y moment with the girls and I felt my face flush red with anger and shame, both directed towards me. They broke apart and Riven looked at me with... sympathy on this face?

"Bloom, you must feel horrible. If you're wondering, Timmy's inside." He told me.

"Is... how is he?" I asked nervously.

"He's... pretty bad. You might wanna go and talk to him." Helia told me.

"OK." I said after taking a deep breath. "See you guys later." I waved, walking inside.

"Wait, Bloom!" Riven called. I turned back around on my heel.

"Yes, Riven?" I sighed exasperatedly.

"Do you happen to have any idea where Sky is? He hasn't come back from that meeting on Eraklyon you guys had to go to." Great. Should I tell them? No.

"Uh, no." I lied. "I haven't seen him since either." I shrugged and went inside before anyone could say another word.

I located Timmy's dorm room. I was met with soft sobs and sniffs. "Timmy?" I asked as I knocked on the door.

"Go away!" Came his yell. My heart dropped. This would be harder than I thought.
