    Roxy yarned as the first rays of sunlight hit her. Today was like any other day. Roxy hoped that the whole fairy issue would go away. She went to the bathroom with a spray bottle, wet her curls, and defined it with some cream. Ever since her procession, she had become distant from her friends and the Winx. She didn’t want to face a life of magic, nor a life being hunted down by wizards. Two weeks and things seemed normal. Sure, Lizzy and Justin were on their magic quests that she would not choose to be a part of. 

    “Roxy!” the girl turned to see Artu speak to her. “Oh, hell no.” Roxy said before grabbing a spray bottle and lightly spraying her dog.”Roxy, you don’t recognize me?”

    “Why can you speak!?” Roxy shouted. Klaus walked in with a dozen donuts, and the man was a tall, very muscular man; his complexion was rich Sepia. His eyes and hair color were almost an exact match to Roxy’s. “Roxy got you vegan donuts!” 

Roxy smiled nervously at her dad, “Hey, dad!” Klaus's eyebrows arched, “You okay, pumpkin?”

“Yeah, totally.” 

“You’re denying your magic,” Artu said. Roxy glared at her dog before she focused on her dad, “I'm about to head to the Animal shelter, you know, for volunteer work.”

“Alright, well, make sure you come to work on time. I don't pay you for nothing.” 

Roxy nodded, taking a donut and bottle of orange juice to go. Roxy had heard all about the Winx and them saving people, slowly gaining earth people's trust. That wasn’t her concern anymore. She was going back to sleep, pretending that her life was normal. Until she could hear every animal's thoughts and feelings, sure, she was an animal lover, she respected and loved animals, but gods, this was too much. 

Roxy ran to the veteran, slamming the door behind her and Artu, who turned his head. “Why are you scared of it? It’s who you are>”:

Roxy ignored it, blocking out the sensations in her head. “Roxy!” Dr. Acharya said, rushing her volunteer. “Good, glad you're here. I need some help.” Roxy whispered, “I’m not a fairy. I’m not a fairy.” 

“Of course you are, dear.” A voice said in the background. Roxy turned to see Duman, who knocked out the vet. “No, go away!” Roxy could feel herself grow faint, before she passed out.

    The Love & Pet shop, the Winx, was at their usual work. Wan sighed, worried about the new fairy. Ever Since the white circle , Roxy has been distant from her friends. Lizzy tried texting her, but Roxy would leave her on read. 

   

    His worries were confirmed when Roxy’s dog, who could talk. Letting The Inx know, Roxy’s magic core was growing stronger to the point where she might gain her wings, especially if she wasn’t trying.

    “Let’s go,” Bloom said as the Winx gathered up their power to transform into Believix. Stella threw up her ring and transported the Winx to Roxy’s home, which seemed to be ruined. The Eclipse Witches showed up right behind the Winx. “What’s going on?” Nyx said. 

    “How did you?” Kaiyo stammered. 

    “Saw you transforming.” Lizzy said. She ran over to the spilled donuts, “Roxy, we’re coming…” her silver eyes hardened to save her.

Roxy woke up, tied up in a warehouse. No, she was back in this situation. Until she saw rats nibbling at her ropes. Roxy groaned before seeing her father beaten up and Gantlos smirking, “So, little fairy. Where is the white circle?”
