Chapter Four: Stranger, Danger
Bloom was excited to meet Valtor by the lake, all what she can think about was him. It was like she was spelled by him and nothing in the world could break that spell. Things were starting to be different between them a chemistry trying to connect. The night was amazing, the moon was up in the sky shimmering down on the lake reflecting's its moonshine on the lake's surface. The night's breeze was nice and gentle and cool.
Once Bloom made it to the lake she saw a figure there standing watching the stars shimmer. She wondered if it was Valtor and she called his name, "Valtor is that you?" The figure turned around reveling himself, it was Valtor, and walked up to him. "Looks like you made it before me." Bloom said with a smile on her face. He looked at her and returned the smile back.
"Isn't it beautiful tonight?" Valtor asked, gazing at the moon. "It sure is." Bloom replied, she wrapped her arms around him and Valtor almost flinch at the touch.
"I want to talk to you about what I've told you earlier," he said sounding serious. Bloom looked at him she noticed a serious look came across her face, a look of regret and sadness hinted in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm listening." Bloom said, focusing her eyes on him, and sat down on the rock which was beside her. She noticed the look — of how would I brake the news to you — he sighed and took a deep breath and relaxed a bit, he didn't know how to really explain it to her but he had a deep feeling that she might forgive him and if not he would understand why and give her some space of her own.
"As we say, the last battle that your parents had was the battle from the ancestral witches right? And since then they disappeared right?" Valtor asked Bloom who was giving the obvious look. "Right." She rolled her eyes with sadness.
"Okay, then let me tell you from the beginning of what happened?" Valtor said.
"Wait, what do you mean from the beginning?" Bloom asked a bit confused how could he know from the beginning when no one else did. When she asked Miss. Faragonda about what happened to her parents in the last battle she didn't know. How could he possible know and not Faragonda? She was soon to find out why and how?
Valtor explained to Bloom everything what happened, and how it did lead to the final battle between the ancestral witches and her parents. She couldn't believe a single word he was saying. She was denying all this. It couldn't be right? No, he's not evil, he's good. He couldn't done this. Bloom's emotions were all stirring up in her chest. Valtor soon lead to the part where he'd met her sister and what he done and what he did, he saved her and her sister. Bloom realized that she was alive because of him, because of his good actions. The ancestral witches were the ones who were forcing him to do these evil things. If he listened to them, she would've been evil or dead either way it would end good. But he's the once that forced her older sister to save her and herself from the ancestral witches. Is her sister dead or alive? When Valtor got to the end of his story, he lied as if to protect her from his evil mothers. But yet when he lied to them, the lie affected her parents which broke their heats and then they were in furry at him and the ancestral witches for killing their daughters (which is not true, just a small lie to protect both of them.)
He looked at Bloom, who was shocked and was nearly about to faint. She glanced at him her eyes were full of tears "Valtor," she whimpered in a small voice. He was ashamed, and tried not to look at her. He knows she'll be angry, no infuriated with him for what he'd done in the past.
"I need to go." He whispered, trying to keep himself together. "No...please don't." She whispered. He looked at her, it broke his heart seeing her like this, crying.
"I'm bad you see. I don't deserve you." He said sounding sad he couldn't even bare to look at her in tears. "Wait, please give me a chance to speak. I don't blame you." Bloom said sniffling, trying to compose herself calmly.
"What? Don't blame me how?" Valtor asked puzzled by her reaction. She stood up and walked to him and placed her finger on his chest, "look," she sighed and looked up into his silver-blue eyes, "you saved me and my sister, instead of doing what the ancestral witches told you to do, which means your good, not evil at all. You lied to them in protecting me and my sister, well maybe you got on the wrong side of my parents but they'll surely understand once you explained to them and they'll believe you." Bloom said hinting a small smile to him.
He was shocked at Bloom's reaction, he thought she would take it the other way around. "Hum..." Bloom thought, her sister might still be alive out there somewhere and she wants to find her, and looked at Valtor for answers and asked him "do you know where my sister is?"
Valtor remembered what her sister had said to him a few days later after saving her little sister. They were in Magix city near the lake talking.
"Valtor, look. I want to thank you for saving me and my sister." Daphne said.
"I didn't save your sister. You did." He replied.
"One day my sister will discover that she has magic and would come here to learn about her magic." Daphne said.
"Wait! How do you know that?" He asked a bit shocked about this.
"I just know. But I'm going to tell you one thing is. Don't tell her where I am. It would be too much for her to handle." Daphne said. Valtor was stunned he wondered why her sister didn't want to know where she it. "Why?" He asked. "It's for the better. The less she knows the better she is off." Daphne said and smiled. "Good-bye, thank-you Valtor," and vanished into thin air. She was gone.
"Uh..." Valtor said trying to think of an excuse though he wasn't too fast at making an excuse. "You know where she is don't you?" Bloom pointed out at him. "I don't know, but she's alive for all I know." He tossed his arms in the air in defeat.
"You know I can read minds right?" Bloom said, smiling. "Uh, okay she told me not to tell you where she is, because it would be too much for you to handle and your better off the way you are." He said in defeat again. "What? So she is alive huh?" Bloom muttered, "but why?" She asked him, why doesn't she want her to come looking for her.
"Look, I really don't know why? That's the only thing she told me before she vanished." He said, at this Bloom froze she wondered why her sister doesn't want her looking for her it just didn't make any sense, but still she wants to find her and talk to her no matter what her sister told Valtor.
A unknown figure was watching from a distance, unhappy about them being together jealously flowing within the figure and the figure soon vanished from sight. Leaving them both alone, with a disgust look on the face.
The next day...
Bloom was in class, she was learning about how to capturing her emotions and use it to form a light sphere from it, and use it against for protection, but can only be used in extreme emergencies since the spell is used by emotion and could cause so much damage.
"Now, I get to chose who will preform this exercise." Professor Palladian said, he was walking around the room until he stopped to a certain red hair girl. "Bloom, why don't you give this a try." he said, and she nodded. She got up from her seat and walked in front of the class. Professor Palladian had the arrow aim set right across the room (where you blast the aim at).
"You have to focus on your energy Bloom, summon it without any distraction or any negative thoughts." He instructed. Bloom closed her eyes and empty her mind from all negative thought and focused on the positives. Bloom thought about how her friends make her happy, and how happy she's with them. How she met Valtor and how kind he was to her. All these emotions lead her into brightening the sphere and had it in her hands and focused on the energy sphere.
"Good Bloom. Now open your eyes and take the direct aim of the sphere." He said firmly. Bloom looked at the sphere in her hands and raised it, and threw the sphere across the room perfectly, and hit the arrow set in the middle, perfect shot but burned the whole set.
"Good." He gave a smile, and she retuned back to her seat.
"Nice shot Bloom." Flora whispered. "Thanks." She whispered back.
After class...
They headed out to lunch on the account of Stella because by the end of the month she would have her princess ball that her father told her earlier in the week and from there they could look for their gowns.
"That's so cool that your father is throwing a princess ball." Musa said excitedly.
"I know." Stella replied cheerfully. "Whoo-hoo...lets celebrate." Musa added.
"Of course that's why I suggest this." Stella said. They were all excited about Stella's up coming princess ball. But Bloom doesn't has a clue of what it is.
"I don't want to sound out of the loop-whole here, but what exactly is a princess ball?" Bloom asked curious.
"That's an upheld tradition where princesses finally emerge into royal society." Aisha said.
"And back then they would announce who you were going to marry." Musa said, and this gave Bloom the chills.
"Even so some kingdoms still do it until today." Aisha added.
"Are your parents going to do that?" Flora asked Stella.
"No. They don't want that for me. All they want is to see me happy. Maybe I'll introduce Brandon to my dad." Stella smiled.
"Now come on we have some serious shopping to do." And they all laughed at Stella's comment, because when it comes to fashion Stella's the one who would put it into action.
Back at CloudTower...
Icy was in her dorm, practicing her spell that she would cast on the winx and finally get rid of them, for revenge for what they did to them in the past two years. She hated Bloom the most from all the winx. She hasn't seen her sisters all day, where could they be? It was never like them to just disappear like that. When the door of the dorm opened she saw her sisters who were giggling.
"Where were you two?" Icy asked in annoyance because her sisters never leave her out on anything. They would always go out together, but this time she was left out.
"Calm down Icy don't get all chilled up about it," Darcy said noticing Icy's powers that were flashing with coldness.
"Ya, we were just out." Stormy added.
"With who?" She asked in particularly almost encasing her book completely in sold ice.
"Unbelievable." Icy snapped at them.
"Oh, no don't put the blame on us. Almost every witch at school is Icy." Darcy said angrily.
"You know if you stop spending time being in the room all cooped up maybe you know what's going on." Stormy said.
'Ya right, last night he was flirting with a girl. A redhead girl in particular and he was enjoying it. She's not even a witch, she's a fairy. A fairy that I hate the most Bloom. When I get my hands on her and when I do it'll be the last time she'll ever see him again.' Icy thought to herself, without noticing her powers' reaction she froze her side of the room completely.
"We better get out of here." Darcy whispered to Stormy who agreed with her. They don't want to turn into ice popsicles from Icy. They walked slowly without disturbing Icy and shut the door.
"Huh?" Icy turned around to see her side all encased in ice. Great. This was just great. She looked at the book, and thought to herself I need to end her one way or another. And left the room for class.
"Hey, you seem to be in a pretty good mood lately." Musa said.
"That I've noticed Bloom. What's going on with you?" Tecna smirked at Bloom. "I know. It's just everything is going so well." She said softly.
"Ah...I get it." Stella winked at Bloom. "Oh, is it your mystery man." Aisha giggled along with the rest who were giving her devious looks.
"Its obvious Bloom." Flora ginned evilly, and she blushed.
"Did he tell you who he was the other night?" Stella asked. "He did." Bloom replied.
"So...how is he...I mean is he good looking, is he romantic?" Musa asked. Bloom smiled and talked about how kind he was and how romantic he is and how helpful he could be to her in helping her find her parents though expect for the part that he was the one who'd save her and protect her and her sister from the witches and knows where her parents might be. Bloom went into detail about how he looked, blue—silverish eyes, pale skin, blond red hair and he's strong. The winx were giving Bloom the faces of — your totally in love — kind of thing. She smiled to them.
"Well...why don't you invite him to the princess ball. I would like to see him. I bet you too are cute." Stella winked at Bloom who laughed.
At the mall...
The winx were buying their gowns for Stella's upcoming ball this Saturday. Stella was throwing each gown to the side, not finding the perfect gown she wanted. She wanted to look perfect at her ball after all.
"Lets try a red dress." Stella said, and with that her dressed changed into a red one (from season 3). It was very pretty dress on her. "What about this one?" She asked Bloom.
"I like it, it looks perfect on you," Bloom said. "I know it's just perfect, Brandon won't take his eyes off of this dress." Stella smiled, and day-dreamed about her and Brandon together. She then noticed a girl with long dark blue hair was buying the same dress. She looked at Stella and said, "buying the same dress as I am?"
"What do you mean by that?" Stella sneered.
"I'm buying it for the up coming princess ball." The girl replied, her two friends nodding in agreement. "Who are you?" Stella asked.
"We're Beatrix girls." She replied. "Ya, I'm so loving the gothic clothes your wearing." Stella teased. "Well at least I'm not sunshine threw-up all over." She replied at this Stella stopped laughing and harden her eyes on her. "Well at least I have more fashion taste than you." Stella snapped.
"To which princess ball are you going to?" Stella asked hoping it's not her princess ball otherwise things won't really end well. In fact she would try to ruin her day and try to ruin her gown to not go to her princess ball.
"The one in Solaria." She replied coldly wondering why the blond girl was asking. "Why?" She asked again.
"Why? You don't know why? I'm the princess of Solaria." Stella said proudly. "Really?" She said surprised. "What's your name?" Stella asked.
"I'm Chimera. And I'm going to buy that dress whether you like it or not princess." She said smirking at Stella. "Oh really." Stella mimicked. "We'll see who's going to buy it." Chimera challenged. "Who gets to the cash register wins." She smiled at Stella with a grin knowing that she'll buy the dress.
The two girls raced off to the cash register to buy that red dress. Chimera and Stella made it at the same time and they both said, "we wanna buy this dress."
The cashier lady looked at them who were both giving each other glares. They clearly hated each other. "There's only one dress in that size you want."
"WHAT?!" They both exclaimed. 'There's no way in hell that Chimera is going to buy that dress. I'm going to buy it, it's my ball after all.'Stella thought to herself.
"I'm the princess of Solaria and I would like to buy." Stella said quickly, she noticed Chimera was giving her a look that's so not happening look.
"Ooh. I thought you were the princess of Solaria." The cashier pointed out at Chimera. Stella looked at Chimera and said, "unbelievable you little brat. You used my name." She growled right at Chimera.
Bloom pushed Stella away from Chimera before anything else happens and looked at the cashier lady, "don't Stella, you can buy another dress." Bloom whispered in her ear. Stella nodded slightly, and looked at Chimera with a dirty look on her face and a face that says you'll regret this and walked away with Bloom.
In the end Stella finally picked her princess ball gown and it was prettier than the other gown she wanted to buy and thanked Bloom for telling her to chose another gown and helped Bloom choose a pretty blue gown.
The winx were at the beach they already chose their gowns for the princess ball and now they were at the beach relaxing. Stella invited all the guys to come and join them on the beach. Stella even asked Bloom to call her new boyfriend, which Bloom kept telling Stella for now they're friends or maybe more than just friends even she thought to herself.
'Should I call him?' Bloom thought to herself looking at her phone. Heck, why not? She'll ask him to the princess ball. Would he go with her? If he does then they would officially be a couple. She called Valtor.
"Hey Valtor are you free?" She asked.
"Yes, why?" He asked wondering what Bloom was getting at.
"Because I wanted to ask you if wanted to join me and my friends on the beach?" She said.
"Sure, I'll come. I have nothing to do. And I can finally meet your friends." He said.
"Ya, and they've also been dying to meet you. And we'll officially be a couple." She blushed.
"A couple huh? I like the sound of that, you being my girlfriend." Valtor said smiling at thought of Bloom being his girlfriend. How great would that be? He would finally have the girl of his dreams.
"I'll be there no more than ten minutes." Valtor said.
"Bye." Bloom closed her phone and smile to her friends.
"So...is he coming?" Stella asked impatiently, she really wanted to meet him and so she was.
"Who's coming?" A familiar voice asked. Oh, great it was Sky. The winx turned around to the specialist that arrived and Sky too and without Diaspro.
'Uh-oh. He's not with Diaspro. This is just great. What could he possibly want with me now.' Bloom thought to herself and noticed Sky walking towards her direction.
"Who's coming?" He asked firmly.
"Why do you care who's coming?" She walked passed him in annoyance. He gripped her arm, and looked at her. "I asked who's coming." He said again this time in a deep tone, at this Bloom almost flinched. "Why? Why do you want to know?" Her voice a bit shaky from him. She was a bit afraid from Sky of how he's been acting with her. Only her.
"Because I said so," He said giving her glare.
"The guy I've been dating, and one more thing Sky, we're done, we're not together anymore. So please leave me alone." She pulled her arm away from him and walked away towards her friends. The way she walking and swaying her hips made Sky crazy. Why? Why? Why did he break up with her? And now he knows that she's officially over with him.
While Icy was walking through the empty halls, she saw Vladimir getting all dressed up for some occasion. She wondered where he was going at this time of day and with who? Is it the red-haired fairy that she saw last time? She must keep her guard up without him noticing that she's keeping tabs on him where ever he went. Then otherwise he would think of her as a stalker, watching his every move he makes.
She waited quietly for him to get out of the room. Once he closed the door, Icy made her move. "Where are you going all of a sudden?" She asked. He turned his attention the white-haired witch and looked at her. "Why?" He asked coolly trying to keep it low as possible.
"Hum...just wondering thats all." Icy replied. "And if you have time, maybe you and me could go out sometimes." She said smoothly. He looked at her and knew what she was thinking and immediately he replied, "well I'm with someone else actually." He wanted her to know that he's with someone else instead the other way around.
"Oh..." she said sadly and replied again, "I see."
"I'm sorry," he said sensing that she really wanted to be with him and left Icy in the corridor alone. She knew who he was with and was determined to end their relationship, it would satisfy her needs.
"I will crush you Bloom." She muttered to herself and left freezing the halls. She wondered where Bloom was he would probably meet her there. She hated the thought of him and Bloom being together. All the times she saw specialists and fairies are a couple, and now she wanted to be with him but Bloom wrapped her little pretty fingers around him. But she's determined more than anything in the entire world to destroy their relationship. This was her new plan, her goal and no one is going to stop her.
Bloom was sitting down on the beach reading her magazine, she noticed Sky kept on staring at her most of the time. He couldn't do anything else but stare which kept on creeping her out. She wondered where he was until she got a text from him to meet him near the small store near the beach. She smiled and texted him back that she'll meet him there no less than five minutes.
Sky looked at her she wondered who was she texting, probably him he thought. He wanted to follow her to see this guy up close. He'd only seen him one time and that when he was picking her up from Alfea that night. He only saw part of him which was his long hair and his jacket. Not the face and this time he was going to see him without Bloom noticing that he's following her. She told the winx that she's going to meet him and after that they're officially going to meet him. Sky soon followed Bloom after a few minutes.
Bloom saw a man standing next to the small store, she assumed it was Valtor. It was him. "Hey," She smiled at him, her blue eyes shinning into his silver-blue eyes. He gave a smile. "Hey." He replied wrapping his arms around her shoulders. He leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips. "You look beautiful today," he said gazing at her new mini strapped blue dress.
"Thanks." Bloom replied. "I like your outfit too."
"Come on. You've got to meet my friends. They're very anxious to meet you." She grinned at him with a smiled. "It seems so." He chuckled. They both started to walk down to the beach, Sky saw him. He didn't like him, some how he doesn't seem Bloom's type. He had long red-blond hair, pale skin, and silver-blue eyes.
Sky watched Bloom as she introduced her new boyfriend to the group. Stella was the first one to give to big long lasting hug. She seems to be very excited to Bloom, while the rest of them were giving Bloom the devious smiles.
"You two are so cute together." Stella said gleefully. Sky remembered that she was the one who paired him and Bloom together, which didn't last so long. Sky's phone beeped in his pocket, he looked down and took it out and saw the text. It was from Diaspro. He sighed and texted her to meet him on the beach.
"So this is your little mystery man." Musa giggled at Bloom.
"He's so handsome." Aisha winked at Bloom with a devilish smile.
"Geese Bloom, you've got some taste in you." Stella teased. Bloom couldn't stop blushing at her friends commenting over her new boyfriend.
They saw Valtor walking his way to Bloom, while her friends were giving her the looks and Stella patted Bloom on the back and whispered, "we'll leave you two alone."
"I know a perfect place to get the greatest ice-cream around." He said, his voice low and in a sexy way which Bloom liked. "Sure, maybe after that we could swim." She said. "Swim?" He said in a surprised tone. He totally forgot to bring his trunks with him. "I...I didn't get my shorts." He admitted.
"Why would you forget that? I told you I'm at the beach which means you should bring your shorts smarty." Bloom laughed. Valtor put an arm around Bloom's shoulder and pulled her close. "Maybe I could change that." He whispered and used his magic to switch to his shorts to swimming shorts. "Uh-huh." Bloom giggled.
"Oh by the way Stella invited you to her princess ball in Solaria." Bloom added. He looked at Bloom with a shock look on his face he couldn't believe it. Going to ball with Bloom...was as if it were only a dream that he wouldn't wake up from. "Really?" he raised a brow at Bloom, who nodded.
"I would be honored to go with you." He said in a deep voice filled with pride. He felt like he was the happiest person in the world and with the girl of his dreams. He noticed Bloom blushing. He pulled her even closer. "Nothing can separate us ever."
"Nothing can." Bloom repeated with confidence.
Valtor and Bloom walked the beach and both bought ice-cream, Valtor got vanilla and Bloom got strawberry. They both were sitting on the bench watching the people walking the beach, swimming and building sand castles. Bloom snuggled against Valtor's chest and he wrapped his arms around her, both with smiles on their faces.
"It's a perfect day." Bloom said.
"It sure is." He agreed with Bloom.
Off from the distance someone was watching them and it wasn't Sky this time, it was Icy. Her hands were in fist turing into ice. She hated Bloom for way too many reasons. It wasn't fair to her. Why? Icy thought. All the times she saw Bloom with Sky she felt jealously because she wants to be in love, but somehow Bloom snatched Valtor away from her. She was going to pay.
Later on that night, the winx were back in there dorm.
"So...how was your date?" Stella asked Bloom with a look demanding for answers. "It wasn't a date Stella." Bloom said for the second time.
"Right," Tecna and Aisha said at the same time, with devious look. "We want to know everything." Flora said with a smirk across her face.
"Come on you two look cute together, so to speak..." Stella cut off Musa, who was giving her a glare "...so spill Bloom."
"Okay fine." Bloom said finally giving up, there was no way she could get a pass on this. Bloom talked on about how she and Valtor got ice-cream and how excited he was to go with her to the princess ball, and how he wanted to really impress her and she finally told them about he would help her find her birthparents and except for telling them the part about that he might know where her sister might be.
"Wow!" They all said in a unison. "That's great news Bloom." Stella smiled.
"I'm happy for you." Flora smiled.
"As long your happy, we're all happy right guys," Musa cheered. "Right!" They cheered in excitement.
"Wish you could've told us sooner." Tecna added.
Bloom couldn't wait to impress Valtor with her gown that she bought earlier today with Stella. A week from now would be Stella's princess ball. She was excited, and Stella was even more excited because she thinks her parents are finally getting back together again.
~Next chapter would be Stella's princess ball, but an uninvited guest will appear and crash the party, and I can't tell you who it is, but for one thing I know. The party will end up in complete disaster. So who will be this mystery person crashing the party? What does this person actually want?
