Winx Club: Guardians of the Dragon Flames

The Nightmare Monster

At Cloudtower, the Trix stood before their window as the wind opens it by force. A black feather was dropped in their room, falling to the floor as a creature who had entered their room, cawed. "Hm..." Icy said as Stormy smiles. "All we have to do now is wait. Bloom's and Dawn's mighty powers will transfer over to us."

Once again, the Trix did their vacuum spell and soon after, they passed out on the floor. Icy grins as she looks up at the ceiling while a creature of Cloudtower growls lowly as it came out from its spot and goes out the window.

"Horrendous nightmares." said Icy. "Custom designed for the sleeper's mind." Once she had said it, the Trix cackled as their creature headed to Alfea. That night, the Winx were on their way back from Magix when Kiko and Lavender tiredly rubbed their eyes.

"Come on, you." Dawn said to Lavender, picking her up and placed her in the hood of her jacket. "Time for bunny relaxation."

"The parent teacher meetings are coming up soon." said Bloom. "Time flies, doesn't it?"

"It'll be nice to see my parents together again." said Stella.

"Together or not, at least you get to see your parents." Musa complained. "Sadly, these meetings bring no music to my ears."

"Something's wrong here." said Flora, glaring at Musa. "It's as if Mother Nature's upset."

Once they were in the castle, the Winx were heading to their dorm when Tecna picks up on something. "Hold on." she said to the others. "Did you hear that strange rustling noise?"

"Tecna, it was you." said Bloom, her hand on the door handle. "You're just imagining things."

"I'm exhausted." said Stella as they entered their dorm. "I'm going straight to bed, never mind noises and meetings."

After going to bed, the candles in Stella's room went out, revealing the moon light to come in. Stella became uneasy as she slept. The Trix's creature entered her room first, hovered over her head and opened its mouth.

[Stella's Dream]

In her dream, Stella was going through a void when suddenly a mirror appeared before her. As she basked in her beauty, the mirror disappeared and a light blue wave came around her, then split in two different directions.

One wave of blue light showed her father while the other showed her mother. Stella gasps as she sees them together. When she tries to go after them, her parents went their separate ways, leaving her all alone.

[Stella's Dream ends]

Back in Stella's room, the creature shook its body and grew over Stella. Stella gasps as she wakes up, screaming in panic. Musa heard Stella screaming as she and the others ran to her room. Mirta sat on the table, watching the scene unfold as the creature left.

"Stella, what happened?" Bloom asked. "Why were you screaming?"

"Up you get." Dawn said, hugging the blonde in her arms. "You're okay."

"Um, I don't know." said Stella, hanging onto her pillow. "I was dreaming."

"Stella, you poor thing." said Flora. "You must have had a nightmare. You remember what it was about?"

"No, I don't. But it was more than just a nightmare." said Stella. "It was as if someone was watching me."

"Like when I sense that someone was watching us at Cloudtower and it turned out to be Griffin?" asked Dawn.

"Yes, exactly." Stella exclaimed.

"I've said it before." said Tecna. "There's something strange in the air tonight."
