It was mid-November. The trees were turning from green to brown, red and yellow. Almost all the Blitz were in their room doing homework. Andrew was trying to put medicine on the holes on his wings. "Need some help?" Lanie asked.
He struggled some more to put it on. "Ugh," he said. "I have had enough of this". He threw medicine across the room and laid on the floor. "So what did the teachers assign us today?"
"Oh not much you know just a few papers and a couple threats that we will have a test over this," Kristina said.
"So about the usual shit they give us," he said sarcastically.
"Yeah," Kayla said.
Andrew looked at the paper work. "All of these are fine except the packet that Wizgiz gave us. This is the same packet as last year. This is belongs to the Freshies". Everyone looked at their packet but Alex looked over her husband's head. He didn't even realize she was sitting on him rubbing medicine on him until she spoke.
"Your right," she said. "He must of had a mix up giving us theirs and them ours".
"Woah," Andrew said. He jumped off the ground and landed on his back. Alex landed on her feet. He got up on all fours and shook himself. "Geez how long had you been sitting on me?"
She looked at her watch. "I'd say for about five minutes". Everyone laughed and got up.
"Come on," Sou said. "We should go find him and tell him what happened".
The six fairies got up and went out into the hallway. It didn't take long to find him. He was right across the hallway pacing back and forth mumbling to himself. "Professor," Kristina said. He didn't respond.
"Professor," Lanie said louder. Still no response.
"Professor," Kayla yelled. Even that didn't get his attention.
"Before any of lose our voice," Andrew said. "Cover your ears".
"Why?" the girls asked.
"Trust me you will want to," he said. "And if you don't you will regret it". The girls did as told. They watched as Andrew's eyes and fairy clothes changed. They hoped that he controlled it for Andrew had an evil fairy in him he had trouble controlling (Read the ball and the chapter after it from my story revenge to know how he got it). He got down to the professor's eye level and whispered "Piercing Sound".
Sound waves flowed from his mouth and a slight scream came as well. The teacher gripped his ears until Andrew stopped. "What was that for?" he asked. "Oh girls you're here good. Lanie, I need to tell you something".
"Us too," she responded. She showed him the packet. "You gave us the wrong packet".
"So I did," he said. "So I did but never mind that I have some sad news for you". He stopped for a moment then took a deep breath and said "Your grandfather is dying".
"What?" the girls asked.
"Are you serious? My grandfather is dying".
"Yes," he said. "And there is one person he wants to see before he dies, you". He ran off as quick as he could and the girls walked into the room.
"I can't believe it," Lanie said sitting down on the windowsill. "My grandfather is actually dying. I…I have to go see him".
"We will go with you," Sou said.
"Thanks but I can't let you see my grandfather. He is a criminal".
"I worked with criminals," Alex said. "So I don't care. We are going in case you need comfort. All of us".
"No I'm not," Andrew yelled softly.
"What?" the girls asked.
"I said I'm not going".
"No, no we understand that part but why not?"
"Something about this just isn't right. The Spinners would not have just randomly chosen this day," he stated. "They know something important and I don't want to miss it. They are trying to lure you five away".
"Andrew is right," Minerva said. "Something is up but I'm still going".
"Same here," Estella, Diana, Alison and Ariana said.
"I'm going to stick with my fairy," Pandora said.
"Well then I guess it is just us," Alex said.
"Yep," Lanie said. "Guess so".
The five fairies teleported and appeared in a castle grand staircase. They looked around and concluded that this was the place they needed to be. "Mother, Dad, I'm home," Lanie yelled. There came a loud running and someone screeched to a stop in front of the six girls. Everyone could tell it was a maid.
"Princess Lanie," the maid said. "Follow; your grandfather is this way".
"Thank you Cleo," Lanie said. Lanie began to follow the maid and the girls follow Lanie but they were stopped. A big, buff man stood in front of them.
"No entry to the Chambers without permission," he said.
"Move before I make you move," Alex threatened grabbing something from behind her back. "We are with Lanie". The man grabbed her around the neck and made her drop a knife.
"You think you can boss me around?" he asked.
"Nathanial Watterson," Lanie yelled.
Nathanial turned around. "Yes my lady?"
"Put her down," she ordered. Anger was in her eyes. "How many times do I have to tell you never to grab these girls?"
"You never told me to not harm this one," he said. Fear was in his voice.
"Well then add a mental note not to harm her," she ordered. "Now, put her down before I force you to". The man put Alex down gently and she brushed her skirt and put the knife into her skirt. "Good boy, now go do whatever you were doing". The man left and the girls followed the maid into a room.
In the room there was a man lying on a couch. "Grandpa," Lanie yelled. She ran to her grandfather's side pushing aside her mother and father. She gripped his hand in between her's.
"Lanie," he said.
"Grandpa what do you want?" she asked.
"Lanie please, forgive me for everything I've done," he begged.
"I…I can't. I can't do it," she said.
"Please," he begged again. "I can't die a free man unless you forgive me".
Lanie looked at her grandfather then her parents and then finally her friends. "I…I forgive you," she finally said.
"Thank you," he said. His body disappeared but nothing came from it.
"Grandpa," Lanie wept. "Grandpa". Kristina sat behind her and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"It will be okay," she said.
"It will," Estella said. "Look". Estella pointed to her chest.
Lanie," Kristina said. On Lanie's chest was a rain drop shaped jewel. "You got your Charmix".
"I don't care," Lanie said. She ran to a room and shut the door. Sou walked over and was about to walk in but someone stopped her. It was Lanie's mother.
"Don't," she said. "Give her some time. It is late why don't you girls spend the night".
"Ok," Sou said.
The girls disappeared. "Now," Andrew said. "With the new security system I programmed a while back we can monitor any classroom or hallway with movement in it". He pulled a tablet out from his desk drawer and set it to wear he could watch it then turned back to his homework.
"Andrew," Pandora said. "That was smart but don't you think that is a violation of privacy?"
"Nope," he said shaking his head.
"Well did Griselda and or Faragonda give you permission?"
"Got Faragonda's". He scribbled something on the paper and put it on a stack of papers. "Griselda doesn't have a say".
"Oh". A beeper went off.
"Looks like we have company," Andrew said. He turned to the tablet. "Really bad company. Let's go". Pandora and Andrew exited the room. Once out there they could hear voices and three figures appeared around the corner. It was the Trix.
"Trix," Andrew said. "Stop what you are doing".
"Uh, no," Icy said. She threw an attack and Andrew dodged but quickly griped his heart. He saw Alex being choked by some man.
"I need to stay focus," he thought. "I will make sure they are ok as soon as they are defeated.
"Fine Magic Winx Sun," he yelled. When he transformed to an outfit like Kristina's. "Ugh I said sun not stars. Fine Shooting Star". He launched an attack that knocked Stormy back.
"Ugh pesky little pixie," she cursed. Venom was in her voice. "Eat Bolt".
"Fine Electric shield". Stormy threw a lightning bolt that was just absorbed y the shield the mayhem fairy.
"My turn ice daggers," Icy said. She launched a bunch of icicles at Andrew.
"Wall of fire". He put a shield up that completely surrounded him with fire which melted the ice.
"Falling Stars," Andrew yelled. Down the entire hallway stars began to rapidly fall from the ceiling. The Trix covered their heads. Darcy's eyes began to glow purple. Andrew and Pandora both stared into them.
"You win this round," she said. She and her two sisters quickly teleported.
"That was close," Andrew said. "What do you think they…" He never finished his sentence cause his eyes began to drop and he began to feel drowsy; he and Pandora both. They soon quickly fell asleep. When he awoke he was lying in bed. Melina was sitting next to him doing her nails. He looked at her with confusion.
"What?" she asked.
He just continued to be confused as if she didn't give him an answer. She too was just as confused as he was.
"Want some?" she joked. He glared at her. His eyes changed and then changed back. "I'm joking. Come on dude take a joke".
"Never mind," he said.
"What is it?"
"It is just, what happened?" he asked.
"Oh I found in front of your door sleeping?"
"How did I…wait where is Pandora?"
"The pixie? Next to you".
He looked next to him and Pandora was sleeping soundly on some paperwork. "Few," he said.
"Question," Melina said. "Why was there a burn mark on your chest when I found you?"
"There shouldn't have been," he responded.
"Then why is there one right about there? I think". She pointed to his chest. He looked down his shirt and saw that there was a burn mark there.
"I have no idea but what I'm more concerned is why am I dressed like this?"
"When I found you, you were missing your shirt and pants so I stuck you in that. I don't know if it is yours".
"Well it isn't. It is my wife's," he said angrily. "Now I'm going to shower and change. You better be gone by then".
"Relax fine if you don't want me here I will leave". Melina got up and left so Andrew quickly took a shower, redressed and woke up his bonded pixie and his guardian Shamin so the three of them could go get some breakfast. The entire time he thought about why he was burned but eventually forgot about it when the others came home and told him that Lanie, who was still a bit upset, had gotten her Charmix.
