Winx The New Generation Book 1: Charmix

A Life Changing Discovery

     It's been a few days since the girls and I fought Cassandra and we haven't had any problems since. But the other Alfea students keep calling us the things like 'The New Winx' or 'Winx Club 2.0'. Stuff like that. The girls and I don't know why we kept getting called Winx. Who are the Winx anyways? That's what I want to know.
     I walked through the halls with girls and could hear whispers as we passed. "Think they'll stop Cassandra?" "Nah, they're just amateurs." "But, so were the Winx in the beginning."
    "Anyone else want to know who these Winx people are?" Celina asked, as we reached our dorm. "It's all I hear about now!"
     "It's come this far, we might as well try and look it up," Kendrix said, going to her laptop that was placed on the coffee table. She opened it and typed in Winx Club. A blocked page came. "Curse you mother," she muttered.
    "What if we went to the Alfea Library," Lily suggested.
    Tory smiled with recognition. "Right, Alfea has a Research Lecturn where you can ask it any question you have. Then it will bring any books that have information on it."
   "Looks like we're going to the library girls," Harmony exclaimed.

    The six of us walked to the back of the library where a golden podium stood. "Think that's it?" I asked.
    Harmony rolled her eyes, "It's the only podium in this library Ame."
   "Who wants to ask?" Tory asked, looking from girl to girl. Nobody said anything. Celina sighed.
   "Guess, I will," she said and marched up the podium and put her hand over the butterfly shaped stand. "Winx Club." she said. Within a mere second books were swarming all around us. They landed in stacks on the floor once the podium was filled with six books.
   "Wow," Harmony breathed. "That's a lot of books."
   "Celina you go through those six up there. We'll look through the books down here," I said. Celina nodded and picked up one of the books on stand. The rest of us soon followed suit. I was reading through the first page of my book, barely having made any progress when Celina gasped. We all looked up from our books to see that she had dropped the book and had a look of shock on her face.
   "Celina," Lily said running to help her. "What's wrong?" Celina shakily pointed with her index finger to the book on the ground. Kendrix picked it up and we watched silently as her eyes went from one side of the page to the other. It wasn't long till she gasped herself.
   "Kendrix? What is it?" I asked worriedly.
   "M-my m-m-mother," she stuttered quietly. Celina looked at her surprised. "You to?" she asked.
   "Hold on," Harmony said. "What's going on? And what does this have to do with your mothers?" Kendrix shakily handed the book to Harmony who took it awkwardly. She read the book like Kendrix and looked up at us with mixed emotions in her eyes. "I think we all need to read this," she said quietly. Harmony placed the book on the podium and read out loud. "The Winx Club was a group of six teen fairies who saved the world from evil on several occasions. Meeting many threats throughout their life the Winx became some of the strongest and well known fairies of all time. They reached multiple fairy transformations that most fairies could only dream of getting. The club was strong both by their magic and through their friendship. The girls, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Aisha, and Tecna, formed an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and..." she trailed off, noticing the looks of surprise on on Me, Tory, and Lily's faces. "What?"
    "Did you just say Bloom?" I asked, my voice cracking. Harmony nodded. Celina looked at me and smiled gently. She looked at Tory. "And your mom is Queen Aisha, right?" Tory bit her lip, but nodded. "Lily?" Celina asked quietly. Lily nodded shyly.
    "Unbelievable!" Celina exclaimed.
   "Our mothers were the Winx. The famous Winx Club that vanquished evil!" Harmony added, a bitter tone sinking deep into the words.
    Lily looked up from the ground. "Now we know why they're calling us 'The New Winx'."
    Tory looked at us a serious look on her face. "That was just from defeating evil. They don't even know that we're their daughters. They don't know that we're the daughters of legends."
    "And they can't find out. It's obvious people are expecting something from us, and this little tid bit of information will only increase their expectations," Kendrix said, her arms crossed.
    "What I want to know is why they kept it from us," I said. I was hurt that my parent's had kept this from me for all these years. Probably from Steven and Emma to. I saw the girls nod in agreement, feeling the same as me. I sighed. "Well, what do we do now?" The girls exchanged uncertain glances.
   Harmony stepped forward. "We got ourselves into this mess when we stepped out into the quad a few days ago. We made our decision feeling that we needed to help each other and you, Ame. It doesn't matter who our parents are or were. I say we take Cassandra on." She balled her fist and slammed it down on her opposite palm.
   I looked at the others who seemed a bit uncertain. I smiled at Harmony though. "I'm in." I said stepping forward. She sent me a grateful smile. The girls soon followed suit and all six of us position ourselves in a circle.
   "Looks we got ourselves a club," Celina observed, cracking a smile.
    Lily nodded, "We should have a name. Not like our mothers. We're not them." She looked at us. "We're us."
    Kendrix pursed her lips, "Ginx Club?"
    Harmony smirked, "What happened to we're us?"
   "Love Club?" Tory suggested.
    We shook our heads. I looked around at all six of us standing in a circle. All of fairies and all of us with our own mystery, maybe we don't even know it yet. I smiled, the name coming to me. "Mystic Circle?" The girls looked at each other and back to me. "It's perfect," they said at the same time.
