"Oooh, what a freaky movie!" Stella whispered with fear in her voice, "I still have chills. . ." We just came back from movie night and just thought of picking up a horror movie at this time of night. If I'm being honest I hate horror movies, I don't like being scared and than my fight or flight get going, but Bloom insisted on watching it and at first I was going to suggest the new My little Alicorn movie instead since its rated for kids, but seeing Bloom really excited face I decided to suck it up.

"Yes, but at least it had a happy ending." Tecna commented, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah!" Bloom agreed as we walked towards our building, "Nothing brings a family back together like having to fight an evil demon, an army of zombies, escape a few explosion, and survive a massive tidal wave!"

"And yet, my parents are still separated!" Stella giggled, but we all knew she was just trying to act nonchalant about it, I than gave Stella a reassure smile and she returned it, and I could tell with that smile she is telling me she is doing okay.

"Movies about parents always bum out! I mean, they always make me miss my mum like crazy." Musa stated with a sad frown, I than looked at Musa and gave a 'are you okay look.' and she nodded at me telling me that she is also okay.

"Meanwhile Movies with little brothers always kinda makes me sad and Miss my little Brother." I said trying to brighten the mood, "Oh really? I'm so telling Ryan the next time I see him!" Stella says and I quickly shove her playfully, "Go ahead, I'm just going to deny it over and over again." I shrugged.

"That movie scared me, can we please stop talking about it?" Flora pleaded with a scowl. I than looked at the brunette and completely understand what she was coming from.

"Hey, remember when she was locked in that chamber with that slimy ghost thing?" Bloom questioned, bringing the movie up to topic again.

"Bloom!" Flora whined and Bloom quickly apologized. I just giggled at there little moment until my ears perked up when I heard a sound that doesn't sound human.

"Lets talk about things that don't--" Flora started, "Hold it!" Tecna interrupted Flora, making us turn her way, "Did anyone just hear that growling sound?" I than frowned, Of course after seeing a horror movie something has to go wrong! I knew I should had spoke up when I had the chance.

"It was probably Kiko's stomach; he ate those gummy-bugs at the movies." Bloom joked as I slightly chuckled.

"Sure, Bloom. It was Kiko who scarfed down all the candy." Musa replied sarcastically as Bloom entered the dorm. I than saw Tecna, who still looked a bit paranoid about her surrounding. I than decided to also check up on her.

"It was!" Bloom countered, trying to act offended.

After checking up on Tecna I started to yawned, "Well, I am going to sleep. . ." I than wave at everyone, "Goodnight, everyone."

"Same. . ."Stella slurred sleepily, "Night, darlings!"

We entered our rooms and changed into our pajames. While putting on my pajamas I noticed that Stella was wearing my Aunt famous designs. Stella than noticed me looking at her and she just shrugged. After we talked for awhile we than decided to head to bed.

It was the middle of the night when I was awoken to the sound of a loud, high pitch scream. I shot up from my bed and saw Stella panting across from me. She had sweat running down her forehead and her eyes were wide with fear. Without thinking I quickly ran to check up on her, "What's wrong, Stella?" I asked, as I magically fill a glass of water and hand it to her.

Everyone soon came inside too and joined gathering around Stella. After giving her a few minutes to settle and calm down a little we asked her what was wrong.

She explained how she dreamt about her parents separating from her and how her refection called her a loser and a dislikeable person. She was now clinging onto me while clutching onto her pillow as I gently stroked her back in comfort, "It sounded like you were having a nightmare, Stella?" Bloom stated, looking down at her, as Stella leaned into my touch as she shivered, goosebumps still evident on her arms.

"Must've been pretty intense. . ." Musa added.

"No, it was. . .Ngh, it was real!" Stella expressed as Musa gasped, looking shocked, "I was actually feeling something." The way her tone of voice sounded indicated that she was telling the truth.

Flora side-hugged Stella as she continued to stay latched onto me, placing her hand on Stella's forehead and patting her head, "Oh, sweetie, I know nightmares can seem real sometimes, but--"

Stella cut her off in a trembling tone, "No! It was real! I could actually feel something scratching at me, and like, tearing at my mind!"

"Sounds like you need a calming spell and a warm cup of milk." Tecna suggested.

"She'll be fine," Musa stated, getting up from her place on the floor and sighed, "She's just wigging out cause of that movie we saw tonight. I'm going back to bed. Wake me when something really scary goes down." Saying that, she walked out of our room and heading back into hers. 'See I knew, I should had spoken up and suggest that we watch the new my little Alicorn movie.' I thought to myself as We giggled at Musa statement, but quickly sobered up.

"Don't worry Stella, remember when you and I used to get nightmares as little girls and my mom used to sing us a song?" When I said that, Stella whole face light up like a Kid on Christmas morning. I than looked at the others, "Don't worry you guys, I'll take care of her, you guys can go back to sleep." I smiled warmly at them as the others shared the gesture back at me.

"Even I got a little freaked out, Stella." Bloom admitted.

"Try and get some sleep, sweetie." Flora smiled and they left the room. Stella than sighed, but her faced still showed the fear. I than gave Stella a little smile before getting up.

"Farfalle Dorate!" I chanted as golden clear butterflies start to fly out of my palm and circle around Stella. Stella than gave me a big smile that I recognized at first site, My butterflies golden sparkles was leaving a little gold path behind them as they flew around Stella, "I can't believed your actually doing this spell for me." Stella says gracefully, I than smile back at her and let the butterflies fly above us. I than tucked her in and sang the song that my mother used to sing us.

I than sang the soft melody;

There was a time

I met a girl of a different kind

We ruled the world

I thought I'd never lose her out of sight

We were so young

I think if her now and then

I still here the songs

Reminding me of a friend

Up on a hill across the blue lake

That's where I had my first heartbreak

I still remember how it all changed

My Father said

Don't you worry, don't you worry child

See heaven's got a plan for you

Don't you worry, don't you worry now~

I sang as I started to noticed that Stella was nodding off to sleep with a smile on her face, I than chant a small spell to get rid of the glowing butterflies so the room can go back dark, I than crawled back in bed and went to sleep.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

Bang!

Bang!

Crash!

"Everyone Run!"  I hear as people started to run away, I looked around me and noticing nothing but golden flames surrounding me.

"SOMEONE GET IRIS!" I heard my mom yells! I looked at my hands and noticed that they were smaller then normal.

"IRIS!" I hear my father yelled.

I than felt so much pain in my chest like my organs were going to burst, I than noticed that the flames was getting stronger by the moment. The stadium was a mess everything was on fire and people was running for there lives. I than noticed the flames surrounding me and it was getting stronger my mother who had my 5 month baby sister.

"GUARDS GET THE EMPRESS AND MY CHILDREN TO SAFETY" My father yelled, I noticed that I'm floating up, I noticed that a 9 year old Stella and a 9 year old Felix with his siblings was also getting escorted out of the area.

I than start to cry, my tears started to burn with the golden flames that were surrounding me, It felt like my body was being burn from the inside out, I noticed my mom gave the guards my baby sister my father tried to grab her but it was to late, my mom transformed into her fairy form and flew towards me.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

!Mom Fairy Form!

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

'No Mom Don't!' I scream inside my head.

'You'll get hurt! Everyone is running away, Why are you running towards me.' I than started to sob even though it was no use the flames was using my tears to get bigger.

BOOM!

An explosion happen somewhere, My mother flew into the flames without any fear, the flames started to eat my mother alive but she didn't scream, I than heard a loud  scream.

"AHH!"

"AHH!" Someone screamed.

Not realizing, it was me who was the one who is screaming for my mom to get away. "It's okay Iris, Mommy here." I heard as the fire started hurting my mom.

"It's your fault!" I heard a voice in my ear as the place disappeared and there was nothing there but a void.

"That's not all that happened." 9 year old Stella says with an evil grinned, "You know what actually happened that day but you force yourself to forget!"

"Your the reason's why your aunt can't transform no more and also the reason why your mother nearly lost her life." 9 year old Felix says with a childish expression that's fake.

8 year old me looked at my hands, that were stain with blood, when I looked up, I see my mother motionless laying on the ground in a pool of blood and my aunt leaning against a tree all bloody up.

'I didn't mean to!'

'I didn't mean to hurt them!'

"If you didn't mean to hurt them...why are you still running away from the memory?" My 'mother' says as she get ups from her Pool of blood.

8 year old me start to sob and scream at the top of her lungs 'I didn't mean to do it! I just want to make the people I care about be happy!'  I screamed at the top of lungs, 'If they ever find out what you really did would they accept you!' My father said with a sword in his hands that also had blood on the tip of sword. 'YOU MONSTER!' My baby brother who was 5 years old at that time says with a disgust face.

I than tried to run away and when I did I come across the Winx looking at 8 year old me with disgust.

"You really are a monster Iris!" Musa Says, "I can't believed you would do something like that!" Tecna added. "I never knew you could be this type of person." Bloom said with a disgust face. "You are supposed to be the future Empress of this magical dimensional?  Please what a joke we don't want to be friends with a monster!" Flora added with a glare.

More tears start to fall , I than lay in the darkness with people I hold dearly to my heart saying awful things about me.

"I didn't mean to!!!" I yelled out of my sleep as the tears fall down my face, My cheeks and body was bathe in sweat, maybe because I was moving around in my sleep to much, I than magically make a glass of water appear and drink it. 'I can't believed I dreamt of that day...' I thought to myself even though my memory is really fuzzy of that day I still remember My mother trying to comfort me.

I than looked to my side and noticed that Stella is still asleep I than smiled knowing that the Spelled worked, but something was weird about that dream, it was like, someone or something was draining me of my magic, I than shook it off and got up from my bed and head straight into Stella bed I than lay down right next to her, Stella quickly scouted closer to me, a habit she had have every time we had a sleepover.  

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

I didn't know when sleep overcame me again, but me and Stella had suddenly woken up to Tecna screaming. Stella and I shared a confused stare and made our way towards Musa and Tecna's room. We found Bloom and Flora over there, too.

"What happened? We heard you scream, Tecna. . ." Bloom spoke worriedly. I than start to scratch my head, Did she have a nightmare, too? And also why do I feel more tired than usually?

"I see I am not the only one. . ." Stella yawned as she entered behind me.

"I don't know what's happening." Tecna answered as she stood up from Musa's bed, "I had a very unsettling dream where everything was malfunctioning and it was so weird. Than I woke up feeling. . .drained."

"I had a whack dream, too!" Musa nodded, clenching her hands into fists, clutching the bed sheets, "It was about my mom. She kept saying she couldn't hear any music, and then, neither could I." She looked so sad and confused. I than made my way over to Musa and Tecna and held there hands.

"Actually...." I started all the winx looked at me, 'You are a monster!' I heard in my left ear, I than started to feel awful.

"Iris Sweetie, what's wrong?" Flora said with a worried expression. "Actually..." I started again, and start to breath in and out to calm myself, I felt Musa rubbing my back to encourage me to continue. 

"Actually. . . I had a nightmare as well." I admitted and everyone looked at me with a worry expression, "In my nightmare, I had a dream about what happen when I was 8 years old," Stella gasps at my explanation, knowing exactly what I mean, However the other winx looked at me with a worry and curious looks. "W-When I-I was 8-" I started but couldn't get the words out of my mouth, it was like my memory was glitching of that day, some of my memories are together, while others was all over the place. "I'm not ready to tell you that part of the dream, but one part of it told me that you guys will hate me when you find out." I expression with a sad tone.

Musa, who was rubbing my back just gave me a smile. "Sweetie, you can tell us when you get ready." Flora says with a smile.

"Iris, your my best friend! I would never hate you, even though I know what happened that day I won't tell anyone until you say it or give me permission." Stella says with a determine voice.

"Iris, I could never hate you, after everything you done for me and parents, you are a friend I could never replace." Bloom says, with a soft tone.

"Take your time Iris, you will tell us one of these days and also it would be illogical to lose a friend like you." Tecna added and I smiled at them, While Musa says, "Totally!" agreeing with her.

I don't know why, but them understanding and reassuring me left me with a warm feeling in my chest, one of these days I will explain everything to them.

"First Stella and now you three. . .This can't be cause of the movie." Bloom deducted, getting serious. "Yup, if anything it would be Flora who would had scream first, since she's was the most scared." I added while nodding with Bloom statement, Meanwhile everyone give me a playful and serious expression, and Kiko Shivered on Bloom's shoulder.

"Helloo!" Stella voiced, "That's what I've been trying to tell you! What I felt was more than a dream. It was like something was watching me or, Like, actually crawling around my brain or something, and now I'm all tired and stuff. . ." Stella stated as I sighed.

"I agree with Stella. . .For some reason, after waking up I'm more tired than usually." I agreed.

"It's nothing like that, it's just cause we saw a scary movie," Musa disagreed.

Stella was ready with a reply when Flora interrupted us, "Wait, hold on a sec, guys."

"Well, whatever it is--"

"Stella!" I shush her.

"What is it? Do you sense something, Flora?" Tecna asked.

"Even more, I hear something." Flora answered. Suddenly, Kiko got off of Bloom's shoulder and started making his way into Bloom and Flora's room, "A distant voice. . ." Bloom called out to Kiko, but he ignored her. Suddenly, I started to hear a very faint voice daunting at my ears.

"Flora!" I gasped. It was Mirta! I looked at Flora to find her concentrating.

"Please tell me I'm not the only one who hears something?" I whispered to Flora. For a second she seemed shocked, but then she nodded.

"I think Kiko is hearing what I'm hearing!" Flora concluded and we followed them.

"I don't hear anything. . ." Tecna sighed.

"Its a girl's voice. It's calling out to us. . ."

"Okay, goosebumps!" Stella queered.

Surprisingly, we reached to the table where Mirta was kept as Kiko kept flailing his arms towards it, "Kiko seems to think it's Mirta." Flora pointed out, "We don't know how to break Icy's spell. . ."Flora mumbled sadly.

"It wouldn't hurt to at least try. . .Right?" I suggest to Flora as she nodded.

Flora extended her hand forward, ready to try on a spell, "Do it, Flora!" Musa encouraged and Flora grunted as she concentrated her Winx.

"Flora, you can do it!" I smiled at her as I encouraged her as I saw magic surround Mirta and She was projected onto Flora's Hand. Even if she didn't change back we can at least see her spirit or whatever this is.

"Flora, it's good thing you were able to contact me!" Mirta started, "You guys were attacked by a nightmare gargoyle. It stole some of your magic. Icy must have sent it. What they do is, they stir off your energy by giving you nightmares, and then, at your most terrifying moment, they drain some of your power." We all gasped at that. 'No wonder when I woke up I felt more tired than usually'

"I'm losing her!" Flora gasped as Mirta's image flickered, "Mirta! Mirta!" Before we could ask anything more, she was gone, "Mirta!"

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

It was later that afternoon when we decided to meet up and talk about the monster. We decided to meet outside in the park, "Maybe it's, like, a class assignment; send the nightmare beasts to torment the fairies by Monday?" Stella joked, yet at the same time it didn't sound like a joke.

"I didn't know Alfea is the type of School to give there Students trauma on the weekends." I says with a serious tone also, trying to also make a joke, but like Stella it came out more serious.

"I don't think so. Those witches have been targeting us since the start of the school year." Bloom said, folding her arms over her chest, thinking about yesterday.

"Why do you think that is?" Musa asked curiously.

"Bloom, it sounds to me Like you have a theory, but you're just not saying what it is." Tecna frowned. I would had agreed with Tecna, but for some odd reason the witches has an obsessions with Bloom and, and for some reason it is giving me a Uncomfortable or weird feeling in my gut.

"Yeah, I do. . .But I mean. . ." Bloom began, but she looked unsure. Bloom gave a quick glance at me before taking a deep breath, "Okay, here's the thing, you guys. . .this may sounds totally self-centered and all, but I just can't help feeling that Icy, Darcy and Stormy are after me for some reason. . ." Bloom sighed.

"Why do you think those three would be after you, specifically?" Tecna questioned.

"I don't know," She admitted, "I think this all has something to do with the truth of my past. I almost feel like. . .maybe those witches know more about who I am than I do. ." She sounded so sad and there were almost tears in her eyes. 'She's right though what's there obsession with Bloom, what do they want from a fairy who came from the planet earth?' I silently thought to myself. 

"It sounds to me that you're overthinking the situation," Stella intervened as I roll my eyes at the Blonde. "Not to steal your fire or anything, Bloom, but I think they are after me." Stella stated, as I sigh to myself, here she about go. . .

"Stella, it is not a contest." Bloom exasperated.

"I know, I am only saying who got the first nightmare last." Stella started raising her hands up in defense, "But hey! You think they're after you if want to!"

"It doesn't matter who they are after, we have more important problems right now!" I interjected as all the girls looks at me, Stella than nod and say with a smile. "What's important is we put our heads together and figure out how to kick this creature's butt when he comes back tonight."

"Stella right!" Bloom agreed.

"For once." I tease as the girls giggles while Stella gives me a playful glare.

"Hey, where's Flora?" Stella asked, as if just realizing that one of us is missing.

"She's in our room, trying to turn Mirta back to normal." Bloom answered, pointing towards her room's window, "Did you guys hear her last night? She actually said, 'I hate those witches." Bloom commented sadly.

"Sooo. . ." Musa asked, looking at her as if saying 'whats the big deal?'

"It's because it's Flora out of all fairies, if it was one of us it's whatever, but Flora? You know, you mess up if Flora says she hate you, because last I check 'hate' was never in her vocabulary." I answered for Bloom. 

"Exactly!" Bloom agreed.

"Well, I guess the witches must have driven her to the extreme edge." Stella stated, not looking so concerned.

"Well can you blame her? That spell is one of the strongest one We encounter so far." I mumbled to myself with an annoyed sigh, because I was helping Flora earlier and no matter what we did nothing was affecting the spell. I was debating or not should I go to my family secret library and try to find something, but I wanted to wait until our next break to suggest this idea.

"Hey, let's just hope that our ambush plan works tonight, and that we're able to fight this monster gargoyle thing, right?" Bloom asked, not expecting an answer because she knew it was an yes from everyone.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

It was later that night and we were all pretending to sleep, waiting for Kiko to give us the signal. After what felt like hours, but was only a few minutes, Kiko came and gave me the signal by tugging on my bed sheet. I looked down to see the bed sheet in his paws, "Thank you Kiko! Now go wake up the others!" Shooting out of the bed, I ordered Kiko, who dashed out of the room, "Stella." I called as I make my way towards the door, Stella following me.

As soon as we walked out our room, a large, ugly, horrendous monster stood in front of us. Stella screamed in horror, I don't blame her because I would had to if I wasn't so determine to get rid of this thing,  and all the other girls joined us out in the hallway.

"Yo, It's Huge!" Musa exclaimed.

"My Magic made it even bigger!" Flora gasped, horrified.

"How Much Magic did it take for it to get that big?" I asked with a gasped.

"Uh Oh, I think it's gonna pounce!" Musa warned as the monster started to spin around.

"Not If we Pounce first! Alright, Guys its time for Winx!" I declared and we all gave each other knowing looks.

"Lets go, Girls!" Stella cheered.

"Ready!" Musa and Tecna shouted.

"Ready!" The rest of us repeated as we transformed into our fairy form.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

"Alright, Beastie, bring it on!" Musa challenged.

"You're about to feel the power of Solaria!" Stella declared, sliding her ring off of her finger and throwing it into the air. The ring extended into her magic scepter and landed in her hands.

"Uh Oh, she took off her ring, she's about to show him." I encouraged, as she hit it with a solar fireball, but it wasn't affected, I than looked at Stella and noticed that she was out of it, like she was stuck in some sort of trance.

"Stella, snap out of it!" Musa cried out, Shaking her violently.

"What just happened? It got even bigger?" Bloom said in disbelief.

The Monster took off running, "Hey where do you think your going?" I yelled as Bloom says with an angry expression. "Come on! Lets go get it!' Bloom stated and we charged behind him.

We surrounded it and Musa and Tecna tried to hit it, but it fired back at them, pushing them back.

"Come on, you monstrosity, show us what you got!" Stella snapped. The monster bellowed and shot a green ball of magic at Bloom. "Maybe you shouldn't have said that." I said to the Blonde. "Careful, Bloom!" I called out to her as the monster continued to fire at her. Bloom did nothing and stood there, holding up her shield. 'What's going On? Why isn't she fighting back?!' I quickly thought to myself, as the Monster attacked once more and pushed Bloom to the Floor.

Me and Stella both gave each other knowing looks, She quickly flew next to Bloom. I than gave a irritated look at the monster and attacked it with an electricity spells, it's one of my most powerful spells I know that I learned from my mother, even though even though her's is stronger than mine. "Sciopero dell'elettricità" I yelled as I rubbed my hands and bright yellow sparks start to form and quickly starts zapping the creature.

For some reason that didn't work and it shot back at me with the same bright yellow Electricity sparks. I quickly set up my shield to try and block it, "Circondano I'oscurità" I chanted and Gasped as it made contact with my shield and suddenly, I hear a scream and a shattering sound.

BANG!

CRACK!

SHATTER!

'How could you! You really are a monster!'

I hear as my head start to ring, my head start to feel like someone grab a hammer and smash it against my head repeatedly, I kneeled to the floor, clutching my head with a pained groan. 

"Are you okay, Iris?" I heard Bloom ask and I nodded my head slowly trying not to make the pain worst. 

"Girls, get up!" Flora urged, looking at us with worry. 

"We are totally drained, Flora. . .we can hardly move." Tecna remarked, trying to get up using her hands. I quickly made my way over to her and help her up. I than felt a certain anger burn within me. I could feel each and every one of their tiredness and pain, I can even feel my fears but I sucked it up and with determination, Stood next to Tecna after helping her up.

"Let's go teach that monster a lesson!" I stated.

"Totally!" Bloom agreed and then turned to Flora, "Where did the monster go?"

"Downstairs, let's go get him." Flora replied immediately. We were going to fly towards it until Stella interrupted us.

"Let's take the express!" Stella raised her scepter and then teleported us outside and into the school courtyard.

"Alright, where is that thing?" Musa shouted angrily, Looking around. Suddenly, I heard a growling noise come from above and looked upwards. My eyes widened in horror and we all quickly moved out of it's line of landing.

"We found It!" Stella mused. We all flew into the air and surrounded the monster again.

Musa gasped as she noticed the monster was going to attack her, "Funky Force Field! " She chanted as disco ball surrounded her protectively. The monster, however, kept on firing at her.

"Digital Triangle! " Tecna formed a magic, green triangle with her finger and threw it at the monster, however, "Oh, I missed!"

"I don't have enough magic left to move!" Musa groaned. The monster attacked Musa once more sending her flying out of her force field.

"Musa!" Stella gasped.

It then turned to Tecna, ready to attack her, "Tecna! Quick make a shield!" I urged her.

"I'm trying, but. . .I don't have enough magic! I can't!" The monster shot at her and she attempted to make a shield, but nothing happened. Tecna fell to the ground, weakness overwhelming her and we gasped.

"Hold on, Tecna, we're coming!" I called out to her, "Okay together, Stella and Flora!" I says as we all flew behind him and ready to released our magic. We attacked it, but it wasn't affected by it at all.

"Okay, that was a dud." Stella frowned.

"Ugh, No matter what magic we used, It won't work!" I say with an angry expression.

"We are too weak to fight." Flora said with tiredness. Bloom looked up as we approached her.

"We can't give up, you guys! I know we can do this!" Bloom declared as I suddenly feel a positive energy emerged from her to me. I was about to reply until I heard a cold, awful voice speak from behind.

"Aww. . .Did you heard that, witches? Bloom thinks they have a chance." Icy mocked with an evil laugh. Ugh, I hate her. I never really hated anyone before more like, I just didn't really care or have an opinion of them but she, she's so annoying and it gets on my nerves.

Icy looked at Stella and Flora and shot a white, sphere of magical energy at them, encasing them in a huge, ice prism floating in the air, "Coming soon to a stadium near you; Pixies on Ice!" The witches cackled and the familiar angry appeared in my chest. 

Bloom and I gave each other a look and flew up to teach them a 'little' lesson, "I'll get you, Icy!" Bloom hissed and flew towards Icy as I decided to take care of Darcy and Stormy, Leaving Bloom alone with her.

"Two against one? You don't think this is unfair?" I raised my eyebrow little and give them a cocky smile. Stormy than says with a evil smirk, "When have witches ever been fair?" She replied, "Good Point!" I answers as I got in fighting position.

"Luce di raggi!" I chanted as Sun rays starts to shot towards them, but they evaded it by the width of a hair.

"Sphere of Oblivion!" Darcy hit me with her spell and everything around me blurred, making it a perfect opportunity for Stormy to attack, The fight from earlier already drain a lot of my magic.

"Tornado Rage!" Stormy shot at me next, creating a huge tornado and catching me in it. My head spun as massive ache flowed through my head. Gaining back my balance for a second, I managed to escape from the powerful gales of wind, but fell to the floor, my mind fuzzy for a moment. I tried to get back up but I'm really drained and falls right back down.

I see a green thing holding Bloom up and the Trix trying to attack her. Looking around, I saw all my other friends unconscious. The monster then held Bloom with its tail and Icy laughed as the monster held Bloom in front of her.

"Now, you've got something we want." Icy determined. I tried again to get up again but my body felt like something heavy is holding me down.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Bloom groaned through clenched teeth. I was able to sit up on the grass with shaky hands. Something in my heart is yelling at me to protect Bloom. I was about to do something that I might regret until I heard a familiar voice.

"What is this ruckus all about?" When I heard that voice I almost burst into tears. I saw Miss Faragonda floating there in her nightwear. With my adrenaline up, I was finally able to stand up.

"Oh, great!" Stormy groaned as Icy looked annoyed. 'HA! Suck It!' I thought to myself while I glared at them.

"What do we do now?" Stormy questioned.

"Let the beast take care of her." Icy stated as I scoffed, 'Do they really think that Monster can take on Miss Faragonda? I know they are crazy but I didn't know they were stupid Crazy.' I thought to myself as I crossed my arms. The beast released its hold on Bloom and moved towards Miss Faragonda.

She fired her magic towards the beast to control it and moved it towards the three witches, "I've had it with you three witches. . .Conjuring a nightmare gargoyle goes far beyond an inter-school prank!" Our schoolmates started coming out, wanting to see what was all the commotion about, making me sigh relief, the more eyes that see this the more the blame won't be on us.

'If I'm being honest I would also come see this fight, I also can be nosey like this.' I thought to myself as Miss Faragonda drew me back to the battle that is about to take place.

"Icebreaker!" Flora and Stella were released from the ice cage as it cracked. They fell to the ground, unconscious. I quickly went over to them and check up on them.

Miss Faragonda hit the monster with her magic and it screeched loud enough, to make me covered my ears from the pain. 'Can someone Please shut that thing up!' I than looked at Miss Faragonda after checking up on Stella and Flora.

"Take this, foul creature of the night! Bloom and Iris, help me. Consider it hands on training!" I than start shooting the creature with a powerful Water spelled, while Bloom, who was on the other side of the creature start shooting her magic at it.

"That's the ticket! Keep firing!" We obeyed her and did as she instructed. After a few more hits and a spell from Miss Faragonda, we defeated the horrendous monster, that's definitely going to keep me up for a few nights.

"We did it!" Miss Faragonda smiled before flying up to the witches, who started to back away, 'Don't run away now!' I thought as I saw the clear fear on their faces, "Now, as for you witches, you've invaded Alfea for the last time! Get back here, young ladies!" 

"Yeah, right!" Icy mocked, "Later!" And with that , they teleported away with their tails between their legs.

"Wait!" Miss Faragonda snapped, but they were already gone, "Can someone explain to me what this is all about?" Miss Faragonda demanded as the others struggled to get up. For once, I'm also a lost of words.

"The witches sent that ugly monster thing to weaken our powers. . ." Bloom started explaining as She stood up. She than leaned on Tecna a little. With the adrenaline out of my system, I also felt like fainting. My emotions from earlier calmed down when I felt that Bloom was safe. I than Help Musa up and let her leaned on me. 

". . .and then they showed up and attacked us." I finished for her.

"Sorry we let them knock us around." Stella apologized with shame as she helped Flora up, "You're not going to fail us or anything, are you?"Flora added as I than support Musa fully letting her rest against me.

"We tried our best." Flora added, her voice wavering as she leaned on Stella.

"Don't be silly," Miss Faragonda waved it off, "A nightmare bested an entire senior class when I was a student."

Kiko came up to Musa and I leg and looked around bravely, puffing his little chest out, "I know you would've fought them if you could, Kiko." Musa giggled and I joined in.

"Professor Griffin will be hearing from the Magix council. They'll see to it that she punishes those three witches, for good this time!" Miss Faragonda informed as we all sighed in relief. 'Finally we are done with them!' I thought but little did I know they were going to cause us more problems in the future.
