"Almost there," she panted, looking up to catch a glimpse of Alfea. It looked majestic. She couldn't keep going though, she was exhausted and dehydrated. But she had to go to Alfea, she had to...had to...
"Wait, why don't you girls want to go out?" Riven asked, bemused. "Doesn't Alfea get boring?" Musa hit him softly on the arm.
"I just don't really feel like going out, that's all," Flora sighed. The other winx all nodded in agreement. "But then again, how often do we have fun these days?" That left everyone in thought for a long time. They agreed to go out, well, everyone accept Aisha.
The boys were waiting on their hover bikes. Flora was the last left in the room with Aisha. "You sure you don't want to come?" Flora asked. Aisha shook her head.
"I want to stay here. If anything happens, I'll call you," Aisha smiled. Flora waved at put her helmet on, and then they were gone.
"I wish I went with them," Aisha thought, feeling lonely. She was sitting all by herself on one of the chairs and wondering when the other girls would get back, when she heard a noise, very faint, but loud enough to be heard. She saw a faint red glow through the balcony doors. She walked quietly and cautiously over to the doors and pulled them open. It was dark outside, something Aisha had always feared. Then she saw a light, at the edge of the forest, an eerie red light. It was illuminating a cloaked figure, but who was it? Was it a prank? No, it couldn't be.
"Hello?" Stella asked answering Aisha's call.
"Stella, you have to come here, now," Aisha's muffled voice sounded urgent.
"Got it, we'll be right there," Stella ended the call and told the others about Aisha's call. They all went on the hover bikes and headed back to Alfea. They noticed Aisha at the edge of the forest, waving frantically for them to come down, so they did.
"Come, I took her inside," Aisha whispered, dragging the winx with her and leaving the specialists on guard duty. They wandered into the room and saw someone wearing a black cloak drink some hot tea. The girl turned round and they all were taken aback, except for Aisha.
"Bloom?" the winx gasped.
