I woke up in the infirmary. My shirt and pants were gone replaced with a white slim dress. I looked around the room my eyes stopping on the window next to my bed. The sun was high up in the sky casting a shadow across the east forest of Alfea. From the second story of Alfea I could see uptown Magix. It was a beautiful view.

The door opened to the infirmary and I turned around to see who it was. I looked behind myself and found myself face to face with Mrs. Griselda, "I'm glad to see that your now awake Ms. Bloom, Mrs. Faragonda would like to see you." Griselda helped me stand while I tried to shake the grogginess off. I looked around my vision literally swimming. Griselda helped me walk/limp to Mrs. Faragonda's office. I sat down in the red chair that I had sat in many times since my first day at Alfea.

Mrs. faragonda stared at me with knowing eyes. The sound of a door opening forced me to turn around. The first visitor to enter was a blond-haired Stella followed by Musa, Layla, Flora, and Tecna bringing up the rear. She wasn't the last to enter though. Professors Palladium, Dufour, and Wizgiz walked in followed by the Sky, Brandon, Timmy, Riven, Helia, and Nabu. "What is the whole of Magix coming?" I snapped out in a gruff and angry voice. I was truly shocked at where these feelings of hatred were coming from. I could feel pain, anguish, and hate. Shaking my head I turn away from the ones who have entered and I focus on Faragonda. She with the rest of the people began to circle me.

"No one else is coming Bloom, it's time to rid you of your dark side." Layla said tears nearly falling from her eyes.

"Yeah we can't trust you! You're no good anymore." Stella said casting a sunshine spell at me.

"I never really loved you Bloom! My heart has always belonged to Diaspro. She is my only true love." Sky laughed

"Stop it! Stop!" I screamed looking at them all. Tears soaked my face.

I looked around the room confused out of my mind. "What? I don't have a dark side! What are talking about?" I cried out dread filling me. I suddenly felt sick to my stomach. My head began to pound and I curled my fists. Anger suddenly burned hot inside me. Flames licked up the sides of my hands. Fire ignited my clothes. The teachers cried out in shock and the heat from the flames. I looked down feeling a sudden chill in my spin. My body felt cold. I looked around at my clothes. I was in my magical form but I looked dark. My clothes were black. I grinned evilly a voice inside my head whispered, 'feels good doesn't it?'

"Huh?"

'See the wonders darkness could bring you? If only you let me take control I could give you everything your heart desires.'

"Heart Desires?"

'Of course I promise cross my dark heart.'

Laughter reigned mixed in with the screams of the others.

"Bloom! Bloom! Are you paying attention to me Bloom?" Mrs. Faragonda said.

I opened my eyes and looked around me. The room was empty. No one was there, no fire, no teachers, and no friends. Nothing. "I'm fine Mrs. F just thinking.

"What were you thinking about Bloom?" She asked her eyes locked on mine burying deep in to my soul.

"Just that I was wondering if you knew what has been happening to me the last few days?" I asked not daring to look into those mocking eyes.

I could feel her staring at me trying to read my expression so I took a deep breath and looked up staring her right in the eye keeping my expression unreadable. Sighing she continued, "I believe that a dark energy is rising inside of you."

"What?" I asked. My calm facial expression disappeared replaced with shock.

"Don't act so shocked Bloom I know that you knew the moment she first spoke to you in your mind that she was back. I know because I can see her in your eyes and I can feel her in your body language." She said sitting back straight and shoulders firm. She looked at me for what seemed like forever.

I looked at her and lies began to spill out of my mouth, "I don't know what you're implying professor." I said bluntly.

She looked at me before saying, "You are dismissed for now Mrs. Bloom." she said coldly.

I walked back to my room and laid down on my floral patterned blanket. I slammed my face into my pillow, punching my fists into the mattress. I cried out angrily. tears rushing down my face. Memories floating around in my mind.

'they'll all pay for their lies! It is the way of darkness to get revenge. All you have to do is give in to the darkness Bloom. Let me take control.'

"Not in you life time." I mumbled. My voice muffled by the pillow.

'You cannot deny that Faragonda was wrong. You have enjoyed the sound of my voice...'

"No!" I screamed holding my head as she continued.

'You love the darkness. Admit it Bloom. Why else would Darkar be able to turn you dark. He was just showing you what you were capable of. Now that he is gone I.. we can rule together. Crush all those who stand in our way. How does that sound?' She asked.

"Sounds good to me." I laughed out loud into the pillow.
