The Return of Dark Bloom

Chapter 1

(Disclaimer: I don't own winx club Iginio Straffi and nickelodeon own the show and I own nothing.)

I walked into my dorm room absolutely exhausted from the extra long day of classes. I Sighed as I sat on my floral patterned bed that my roommate, Flora, chose for me. She is really too sweet sometimes. My mind was hazy in remembering the fun times we had spent together I took my hand and reached down and pulled off my shoes. I closed my eyes in relief after such a long day filled with walking, high heels were not a girls favorite or best choice of footwear especially since she was a fairy in training.

I kept my eyes closed and laid down my head on my extra soft pillow and before I knew it I was out like a light. Dreams found me as soon as my eyes closed. They seeped into my mind and took a hold on my soul. As I wandered through the darkness sweet smells and sounds came to her like milk and cookies. Voices infiltrated the darkness. First it was Vanessa's sweet motherly voice calling out her name. This all led into a new dream one filled with the glistening scent of her boy friend sky.

We were laughing and running together in a world filled with candy and light cloudless sky. But soon darkness fell and ashes poured from the sky. Red colored rain poured as smoke devoured the dream scape sending Sky and I running for our fear was high in this dream and nothing would bring it down.

Their run was cut short when a piercing scream sounded through the air. It took me a while to figure out that the terrible scream was coming from me. Her whole body began to shake as a pain was rippling through my body.

My outfit changed from its usual look to my fairy form. But something just wasn't right instead of my usual light blue outfit it was a dark purple. Laughter interrupted the awful screams. Tears of joy overflowed my eyes. Power surged throughout my veins.

The whole dream vanished and was replaced with a mirror. Standing before me was the old me. 'Help me!' she cried out incessantly. I just laughed at her and used the dark dragon flame to destroy the mirror.

The mirror shattered into what must have been thousands of tiny bits of shards. Glass littered the floor. Tiny droplets fell from my clenched fists. I looked up at what remains of the mirror. One main shard was left. It was covered with a streak of red blood. I looked at my eyes. Instead of being cyan blue they were now cat-like and glowed yellow.

Then it was just darkness again. I opened my eyes and was greeted by a pair of Green eyes. "Flora what are you doing?"

"You were screaming and then laughing in your sleep I was worried about you sweetie." Flora said a look of worry coming on to her face.

"It was just a nightmare Flo. I'm okay." I said guilt filling me up inside.

"Promise?" Flora asked before hugging me tightly, the way she always did when she was sad or depressed.

"Promise." I whispered in her ear hugging her back.

She released me from her tight hold and whispered a good night. She got up and shakily walking to her own bed and pulling down the covers. She slipped into bed and closed her eyes. Within moments Flora was asleep.

Looking away from Flora I rolled my body over to the other side of my bed and closed my eyes and dreams of sweet candy and sky filled my mind.

Sunlight found its way into my closed eyes lighting up in my eyelids. I groaned and rolled my head to the other side of me to get away from the light so I could sleep for at least a little longer. Before I knew what was happening I felt a rush of wind and crashed into the floor. I cried out opening my eyes in shock as my body made impact I realized that I had fallen out of bed. A sharp pain hit my face. I put my hands up to my face. I felt the warm drizzle of blood coming from my nose.

Pulling my hand down so I could get a good look at it. My hand was covered in blood. I shakily got up and ran to the bathroom and slammed the door almost tripping on the pink fluffy rug. I raced to the sink and turned it on and watched the warm water begin to leak out of the faucet. I put my hands under the warm water and tried my best to wash off the blood on my hand and face. I scooped the water in my hands and splashed it on my face. I spit out the water that had got in my mouth and began to wipe my face with the first towel my wandering hands found. I watched the last of the blood swirl around in the water and sink down into the drain.

I grabbed another pink fluffy towel next to the sink and held it to my face to make sure the last of the blood was in my nose before I raised my hand and muttered a healing spell that professor Palladium taught us last semester right before spring break. I looked up at the mirror and a large scream came from somewhere around me. I fought through the shock of the horrid sound before realizing it was me. I was the on who was screaming. The glass on the mirror broke the image that was in the mirror. Shards fell to the floor some cut into my arms but I didn't care anymore all I wanted to do was get out of the bathroom. The door came flying open and Flora rushed in. She wasn't alone, following her were Tecna, Musa, and Stella. When all of them had come in they filled up most of the bathroom.

"Are you okay Bloom?" Tecna asked.

I kept screaming looking into the now broken mirror in the big chunk of glass that had stayed I saw a pair of cat-like eyes returning my gaze. I looked terrified and turned to face my friends. My whole body trembled as I grabbed out to Stella and began to sob into her chest.

Stella looked around at the others in pure shock she had no idea what to do. She then raised her hands and held me soothingly. For some unknown reason holding on to someone felt comforting I felt like I wasn't alone. I began to feel the tears that I had held in for so long began to slip down my cheeks as I cried out, "she's back! She's back!"
