Just a reminder; I do not own winx club!

Chapter 15

Bloom instinctively let out a growl. Everyone looked at her shocked. The girls (who called themselves the vamps) snapped their heads around towards Bloom so fast that if the situation was less tense, Bloom would have been laughing. It looked highly comical and hilarious.

"What do you want?" hissed Bloom, shaking her fists and glaring at them menacingly.

"Oh nothing you little reject, just wanted to get acquainted with these young gentlemen here." Said Diaspro, smirking.

"Back of! Stay away from my friends and their boyfriends; or to be precise in your terms, mates."

Realisation dawned upon the winx and specialists when Bloom said mates, and the vamps looked shocked.

"How did you know you good for nothing pesky brat?" Asked Tina, growling at Aisha, who put up a better glare.

There was a glaring contest between the other rivals also, and Bloom smiled, feeling proud. She took this moment to find out their gifts. "I will do it, I don't care how" thought Bloom, determined. Suddenly, she saw figures of the vamps above them. Bloom looked shocked. Then she realised that those were actually their auras. This happened for the first time, but Bloom decided to trust her instincts; which told her to trust what she was seeing.

Diaspro's aura showed that she could manipulate a person's negative feelings and emotions.

Chimera's aura showed that she had the power of deception, and could make people do what she wanted them to do.

Galatea's aura showed that she could lure people with her exceeding beauty.

Krystal's aura showed that she had the power of mind reading, but was frustrated that she could not read Bloom's mind. "That's a relief..." thought Bloom.

Maya's aura showed that she was a tracker; a person who was specialised in tracking and tracing people and other living beings also.

Tina's aura showed that she could touch anyone and make them feel an electric spark.

Bloom shuddered at their gifts. They were very strong, but what they lacked was power of understanding and unity. This was their weakness, and Bloom made a mental note of it; just in case they needed to fight. Bloom did her calculations and thought "This would weaken their power by 50.678%... Gosh, I sound like Techna!" Bloom shook her head. How was she able to do that? And how come she knew so much about vampires? Bloom snapped out of it and snarled at them; a sound made by vampires to mark their territory or show that the item was theirs.

Riven, however, decided against Bloom and offered the girls to sit next to them. Bloom made space for Diaspro, feigning politeness and fear, but she sat on Riven's lap. Bloom was now in a horrible mood. The best word to describe it would be: mad. The winx were also in a similar state.

"Will you be our dates for tomorrow's party?" Asked Krystal sweetly. Bloom saw Chimera use her gift, and stared at her as though that would stop her. Surprisingly, it did. The boys declined politely, and then Bloom literally shouted in her mind at Chimera, "Say it's no biggy, we will see you later." And she did. Her companions said something in a low tone which they thought only vampires could hear, but Bloom and Musa heard it.

"What the hell is wrong with you ass?" they hissed, before getting up, regaining their composture, and walking away.

Bloom and Musa looked at each other, and tried to co- operate. Bloom used a spell, which connected them mentally, and using her knew found ability, willed that their minds would be protected from Krystal's snoopiness. "I will tell you later" she thought.

All girls turned to Bloom. She quickly told them not to worry, and about her spell. She asked them to trust her and distract their thoughts.

The others thankfully agreed with her, and Stella thought of her favourite fashion designer, Techna calculated mentally, Flora thought of the plants she saw in her life, Musa played her favourite lullaby in her mind, and Aisha thought about her exercises.

Satisfied, Bloom removed her shield and sighed. "You okay?" Riven asked. "Never been better" Bloom snapped, and the girls (who were equally irritated) stood up with her and stomped away. Bloom told them to continue with their activities assigned by her, and they went back to the dorm, where the girls (minus Stella and Musa) enthusiastically told her to join their pyjama party. Bloom happily agreed, and they went to their rooms to change into their night clothes.

Stella wore a yellow half sleeved long top. It had puffy sleeves and was bordered by orange. She wore tiny orange shorts beneath and left her hair open. She also wore yellow platforms with an orange strap. It had a yellow sun and moon by the toe.

Musa wore a pink top which showed her shoulders and her belly. She also wore light blue shorts and had tied her hair into 2 long pigtails as usual. She wore pink platforms which had blue straps and had pink musical notes near the toe.

Aisha wore an off white sleeveless tank top and a purple pair of shorts. She tied her hair into a bun, and wore platforms. They were off white with purple straps and had off white foam formed by waves when they hit the shore near the toe.

Techna wore a violet coloured top which had Techna written on it in green. It showed her belly and had three- fourth sleeves. She wore green shorts, and platforms. They were violet in colour with a green strap and a violet computer chip near the toe. Her hair was tied into a small high pony tail.

Flora wore a green mini dress with a dark green shrug. Her hair was braided, and her bangs were not pinned. She wore dark green platforms which had light green straps and had a dark green leaf near the toe.

All the winx wore their winx bracelets, and had not removed them even for the night.

Bloom wore a baby blue three- fourth sleeved top with slightly puffed sleeves. It had a yellow heart on it and showed her belly and shoulders. It reduced to a small hook at the back, revealing her shoulders and the area below. She wore yellow shorts and wore baby blue platforms with yellow straps. There was the dragon and some stars, in blue with a hint of orange. Her hair was braided and tied up into a bun.

Everyone looked questioningly, and Bloom put up a shield. She told the others that it would allow air and all sorts of waves to get in but would not allow their waves to get out. However, the impure air would get out. Techna was obviously impressed, and Bloom promised her that she would tell her how to do it later.

"Winx, those girls are gifted vampires. Before I tell you what those gifts were, I will tell you how I found out."

"Umm, what are gifts?" That was obviously from Stel. Bloom sighed and began. "They are certain amplified human traits which vampires carry with them after they change. No, do not ask me how they are changed." Everyone began giggling at Stella, who pouted, saying that it was not fair. Bloom continued.

"Well, I suddenly figured out that they have gifts, and I was desperate; I did not want them to harm you guys. I knew that they feed on animals or the special drink you get in the market, but I needed to be on the safe side. So, I thought to myself that I just had to find out; somehow. I don't think all of you know, but if I want, then I can be very adamant; and I mean it. Suddenly, I saw these spirit like beings floating above them, and then I realised that those were their auras. Maya's aura showed that she was a tracker; a person who was specialised in tracking and tracing people and other living beings also. Tina's aura showed that she could touch anyone and make them feel an electric spark. Diaspro's aura showed that she could manipulate a person's negative feelings and emotions. Chimera's aura showed that she had the power of deception, and could make people do what she wanted them to do. Galatea's aura showed that she could lure people with her exceeding beauty. Krystal's aura showed that she had the power of mind reading, but she could not read my mind. I could tell that she was quite frustrated."

"So that is why you told us to be distracted." Said Techna. "Impressive". Bloom smiled and continued.

"Well, they felt some sort of attraction towards the specialists, and most vampires mate even thought the other is not their mate; they mate for convenience. Hence, I can't be sure if one of the guys is really their mate. Anyways, so they asked them to the dance. Chimera began to use her gift, and I realised this. I was mad at her, but of course, I could not do anything in front of everyone. Just glared at her as though that would stop it, and much to my surprise, it did. I screamed at her mentally to say what she said, and she did. It seriously shocked me, but I did not want to tell you guys about it because I saw the way the guys looked at them. I just want you guys to be happy and safe. I do not know how and why, but I feel a sort of connection with you guys; as though you all are my sisters and your boyfriends are my brothers."

Bloom ended her speech in a small voice, and the girls looked at each other. Tech and Muse hugged Bloom, followed my Ash and Flo. Stel threatening, "Dare you steal my BF from me like most sisters- in- law do!" Bloom raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh, so am I your sister- in- law?" The red head feigned sadness, and the girls giggled and hugged her.

Stel jumped yippeeing before getting a small box from her room. The others gasped. "I knew this would happen, so that is why I made this!' Bloom looked touched. "You made it? Thanks." Everyone gave her a thumbs up sign, and Bloom opened the box. There was a black bracelet with navy blue bordered with orange hearts.

Tears of joy were pelting, before the girls embraced Bloom into a group hug. "Welcome to the team Blue. And winxers never cry; remember. It's 'cause you are worth it, always. Never doubt yourself."

So, how is it? Enjoy and review!
