The students were dancing and having fun. The most famous boy band in Magix was performing at the ball and the employed had to refill the chocolatte fountain in every 30 minutes.
As Callie was dancing with Candle, her beautiful gown shined trough the ballroom as they crossed the dancefloor.
People begun votinf for the Winter King and Queen. Of course, most of them voted for Stella and Brandon or for Bloom and Sky. The girls didn'r really care about this, they just wanted to have fun as they knew that the final battle was coming, since Callie had gotten her Enchantix power.
While Callie was dancing with Candle for the waltz she started hearing a mumming. The waltz in her heaf transformed into a lullaby so familliar. She knew it was from her past, she zoned out and accidentally stepped on Candle's toes.
"Agh!" Candle stopped and Callie snapped out.
"Oh, I'm sorry! Are you allright?" she askes her date.
"Yes, but what's with you? You were totally staring at nothing." Candle asked her worriedly.
"I think I've just gotten a bit dizzy!" Callie smiled at him.
"Should we take a walk?" he asked.
"Yea, I think I need some fresh air." she took his hand and they walked out of the ballroom.
  They were walking in the school gardens.
Little fairy bugs were flying and playing around them. The were glowing in beautiful colors. The flowers were blooming and it was more beautifull than ever had been before. The two lovers were walking hand by hand in the moonlit night. Candle picked a tulip and gave it to his love.
     "It's beautiful." Callie sniffed it.
     "Like you." he smiled at her then kissed her forehead.
Callie leaned to rest her head on his hest and he locked her in a warm and tight hug. The fireflies were circling around them, making it more romantic than ever. Then Callie started hearing that mumming again.
     "Did you hear that?" she asked him.
     "What?" he looked at her with confused face.
     "Nothing." she shook her head and smiled at him.
     "Do you want to go back?" Candle asked.
     "Yes, they must be looking for us." she smiled at him and took his hand.
As they were walking back Callie heard that mumming again. Then suddenly she heard a noise in the bushes, as if someone rushed trough them.
     "What was that?" Callie jamp into Candle's arms.
     "Don't worry, propably just a bunny." he smiled at her.
     "I don't think so." Callie got down and started walking to the bushes. She started hearing the mumming again."
     "Callie, come back!" Candle told her but she didn't listen. He started following her in the dark.
  Callie was running trough the woods of the school. She was following the lullaby and memories from her baby age came up. She heard the screamings, the crying, she saw the fire. Then suddenly a woman was standing in front of her with open arms, ready to welcome her in hug. The woman had long brong hair and eyes spraky as Callie's.
    "Mother?" Callie gazed upon her and the woman suddenly ran away with a japanese train's speed.
Of course, Callie followed the woman. When Candle got there she was already gone, running after the woman. She arrived to the lake. As she bowed down from the exhaution from the running. As the pantingly straighten up she recognized the dress on the woman. It was her ballgown. She only saw her back.
    "Mom, is it really you?" she asked again.
The woman started maliciously giggling as she turned around to face her. It was one of the witches.
     "Darcy!" Callie's eyes darkened.
     "Stupid child." Darcy smirked.
     "Callie!" Candle ran there and Darcy immeditely blasted her.
     "No, Candle!" Callie screamed by heart. Her anger forced out her transfomation and she transformed into her Enchantix form.
Callie flew up and blasted Darcy, but a great power blocked it out. It was Donovan.
     "Donovan!" Callie grumbled.
     "Hello, dear!" he smirked.
     "I'm not scared of you." she said.
     "Well, you should be!" Stormy said as she caused the greatest storm Magix had ever seen.

At the ball they were ready to announce the Winter King and Queen. The Winx were looking for Callie and Candle.
    "She's not picking up." Musa said.
The ground started shaking and the pillars started collapsing.
    "What's this?" Aisha ran to the window.
The students were panicking and running circles.
    "Get them out!" Bloom looked at her sister.
    "It's the witches." Aisha said.
    "They must've gotten Callie!" Helia ran there.
    "Helia, get the specialists!" Flora looked at him with fierce eyes.
     "Daphne, after you evacuated the building come to the lake." Bloom ran to her sister.
     "Allright Bloom!" Daphne said.
     "Girls, look at the sky!" Techna pointed at the sky. The moon was setting down and the stars were fading away.
     "What?" Musa started confusedly.
     "Callie is in trouble, we must hurry!" Stella said.
    "Girls, get ready!" Bloom gathered them "Magic Winx, Bloomix!"

They were flying as fast as thir wings let them. When they got there the view horrified them. The lake was destroyed. The source of Sirenix was in a big danger. That meant that Daphne was in a big danger too.
    "Oh no!" Bloom gasped.
"Callie!" Flora flew to her.
The poor girl was exhautsed and frightened. She was getting weaker and weaker by every blast.
"Enough!" Aisha gathered the anger from the lake's water and combined it with Stormy's storm.
"Shit!" Stormy's jaw dropped and before she knew she was drowned in the strong fater.
"Sister!" Darcy screamed and duplicated herself a 100 times.
"I hate it when she does that!" Musa said.
After they were confused enough Donovan
made a great blast that hit everyone out expect for Callie.
The poor girl didn't know what to do. Then she saw the Owl coming, but when Donovan noticed it he crashed it.
"Helia!" Callie screamed as the Owl fell and broke down.
She looked around. She was alone. Again. She was scared. She was cold. She was tired.
"What do you want?" Callie asked Donovan as her tears fell down.
"You give up that easily?" Donovan asked.
"I'm tired. I can't fight you." Callie cried.
"Give me your power." he said.
"What? But you'll destroy everything." she shook her head.
"Your brother is still alive. I only need to snap my fingers and he'll die." he smirked again.
"Alright, but first get them out of the Owl!" Callie said.
Donovan brought up the owl and made the specialists fall out fo it. None of them were dead. He brought Helia to Callie.
"Oh no! I'll do it!" Callie nodded.
"Callie?" Helia started getting his conciousnes back.
Donovan started channeling his powers to get Callie's moon magic. Callie's eyes started glowing white. She saw everything in front of her. The way how Helia took care of her when she was just a babe. How her parents loved her. How she grew up with an abusive father. How Helia saved her. How she became a true fairy. How she walked in the gardens with Candle. Her first kiss. Then it all started erasing.
Stella started waking up and she saw what was going on. As Callie's magic fully left her body a big white light covered in everything for a moment and she was gone by the moment.
"No!" Stella screamed.

When Callie opened her eyes she was in a comfortable bed. The walls were white and the room smelled like rose. She got out of bed and opened her window. She started at the Arch de Triumph and smiled.
"What a dream!" she sighted.
She put on a robe and walked out of her room. Fresh food smell was mesmerizing her. Her boyfriend was cooking breakfest for her. She sat down to the kitchen island and watched him as he was making coffe too. She was happier than ever.
"You awake?" Candle smiled at her.
"Did I oversleep?" Callie asked.
"It's only 11 AM." he smiled at her.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" she asked.
"You were drawing untill 3AM. I wanted to let you rest." he smiled at her and gave her coffe.
"You know I don't like wasting time." she smiled at him "By the way, I had a really weird dream." Callie took a sip of her coffe.
"Really?" he asked as he sat down too.
"Yes, I was a fairy and I was fighting some bad guy, he looked like Professor Donovan." she said.
"Interesting, you must have had too much to draw." he laughed.
"Yeah, maybe." she started eating "This is so good!" Callie said.
"I told you, there's nothing I'm not good at." he winked at her and kissed her.
After the kiss they ended up on the kitchen counter making love to each other in the french way.
