Many years ago just before the fall of Domino, a Faragonda, the headmistress of Alfea school for fairies, had a child. Though right after she was born, The Company of Light was needed to stop the Ancestral Witches.
Faragonda looked to her white haired, green eyed husband just after she got paged. "Take the baby. Protect her. I-If... if I don't make it to Alfea tonight, leave. Go-go anywhere." She handed him the child from cradling. And with that, Faragonda flew onto the battle field.
Faragonda didn't come to Alfea and Dakota assumed she died. Right in front of him, he opened a portal. He did not walk through it, he merely put out his hands, in which the child was in, and sent her through the portal.
After 24 hours, Dakota began to pack. He saw a green light and went outside to investigate. When he arrived outside, he saw his beloved wife about to collapse and rushed to catch her. With her in his arms, she raised her hand to stroke his cheek. "The king and queen have fallen. The 1-year-old princess and Daphne are gone. Now, my last bit of happiness rests with you, our daughter, and the school."
He looked sadly at his wife. "You didn't come home and now I have done something horrible. I sent our child through a portal to another world. I hope you can forgive me," he whispered.
Faragonda grunted in pain as she lifted herself off her husband. She looked him dead in the eye. No anger was in her eyes, no regret; just loss of the company of light. "I am not mad at you. We can find her. Which planet did you send her to? We can reverse the deed before the damage is done," Faragonda stated, her hands still on his shoulders.
Dakota loved how Faragonda was fine about this and had a positive attitude. He opened his mouth to answer, but was snatched up into Mandragora's claws. "I'm sorry. I didn't hear you for the satisfaction that I'll be the one to kill you, Faragonda's love, was drowning it out." She looked the same as normal, except for there being a scorpion tail in which Faragonda had removed long ago. She stabbed Dakota in the back with her tail. Faragonda called out his name, but there was no reply. He and her daughter were gone.
Faragonda tucked her elbows in and held out her hands. There was a powerful force and a ball was being created in the gap of her two hands. She was so distraught, she had only enough power for one attack. Faragonda threw it with all her might. It was going to hit Mandragora, and she knew it. At last minute, Mandragora turned around and the attack hit her tail. Destroying it forever. Mandragora screamed in agony and decided to take her leave at that moment.
Faragonda fell to the ground and cried. Griselda came a few moments later. She gasped at the sight of Dakota. Griselda rushed to Faragonda and held her as though if she let go, Faragonda would fall apart. Griselda looked at Dakota's body and it vanished, gone to a place everyone knew about, but only Griselda could enter.
Eventually, Faragonda stopped crying, but only after the rest of the company of light showed up. No one was sure Faragonda would ever be alright again.
About 15 Years Later:
Bloom was in her dorm asleep dreaming about how she was going to tell the winx. She was having a nightmare.
They had beaten Darkar finally. All of the winx were asleep.
Faragonda, however, was still awake and thinking about her. The first and last time she held her daughter was the day she was born. Faragonda sighed, making herself push the thought of her daughter out of her head. She would be going on vacation soon, along with the professors of the three schools and Bloom. It was Bloom's first time going on vacation with them. They were going to Earth, not Gardinia though. Ever since they were turned, all of their families had shut them out. Though, Faragonda had no family to tell. It had been two weeks since they were turned. The winx still didn't know and Bloom had decided to tell them the next day, after a good night's sleep.
Faragonda went back to her quarters. She had a small suspicion she was going to need some rest. The minute her head hit the pillow, Faragonda was out.
Bloom walked through the halls to the dinner pavilion where they was serving breakfast. She stopped in front of the winx. "Can you girls come here for a moment?" Bloom requested. They nodded and met her in the hall after they finished eating.
Little did they know, Faragonda had followed them to see their reaction.
"Ok, Bloom. First off: you look horrible. Second off: what is it? You know you can tell us anything," Stella declared.
Bloom sighed. She gripped Stella's arms and looked her dead in the eye. Bloom opened her mouth, but quickly changed her mind. "Nevermind." She let go of Stella's arms and turned to leave.
"No, Bloom. What is it?" Flora asked as sweet as ever.
Bloom slightly turned her head and sighed. "I'm different. A few others, and myself, have been turned... into vampires. I hope you can find it in your hearts to still care for me as you did before." She said it all in one breath.
Stella went off telling her never to talk to her again and that she better get a new dorm. Flora agreed because of the fact she was an abomination of nature and they were fairies: beings of nature. They left leaving an empty feeling Bloom.
Tears began to fall from Bloom's face. Faragonda came from behind the wall and hugged her red headed student. The teachers came shortly after realizing the headmistress was gone. They saw Bloom covering her mouth as she wept and looked into the direction the winx had walked off into. They promised to make their next school year as hard as possible seeing as Bloom was apart of the newly formed family. Griffin and Saladin would be hearing about this and getting an earful, too.
They were opening a portal to Clarksville, TN. There was a great park there and a good hotel.
The group transported behind Days Inn. They walked in and heard a woman. "Have you heard? The Witchy Secrets are going to play tomorrow at the mall." Faragonda turned around to see the woman talking into her phone.
WizGiz transformed into quite the handsome man, but the hybrid witch still prefered her Griffin. Speaking of Griffin, she was still wearing her normal attire. The thing was, no one seemed fazed by her clothing or her purple hair, but people stared at Faragonda's white hair.
Faragonda was the first one up the next morning. She went into the mini-kitchen and started coffee and tea. She made the cups just as almost everyone else walked in there.
"Fara. I didn't expect to see you in here," Griffin said to her mate. She walked over to the white haired hybrid and put a hand on her waist. Faragonda leaned into the gesture.
WizGiz transformed into his normal self and hopped into his wife, Barbatea's, lap. She put her arms around the transformation teacher and he leaned back. She had her glasses off though, and he had them. "Sweetheart, can I have my glasses back? I can't see a thing," she said. WizGiz gave them back, but made his wife give him a kiss before. She did so without question.
Du four walked over and gave Saladin his cup then a kiss on the cheek. They were married also. The thing was Du four had been immortal even before the turning so she was about as old as Saladin.
In the next room, they heard something fall. They rushed to the room and saw a bag had fallen because Ediltrude and Griselda were having a make out session. "So... you seemed to have scored, eh, sis?" Zarathustra asked her twin. The two stopped making out and faced them.
"Sorry," Griselda muttered, her face turning pink.
"Don't worry about it. You were doing better than Avalon and Palladium. It's a wonder how they don't tear each other's clothes off." Zarathustra grinned at her choice of words. Avalon went camouflage because of blending in with Bloom's red hair. That earned her a whack upside the head from the red head.
They had gotten dressed went to the mall. There was a poster on the front door. It had 4 girls on the front and they were all playing instruments except the singer. The words at the bottom said:
Witchy Secrets playing from 7-9.
They are Earth, Ice, Fire, and Air
Come and see them at the Clarksville mall.
All their names were below their bodies, but they were scribbled out by people who didn't like the band. The group decided they might as well. "Who knows. Perhaps it'll be fun," Saladin had supplied.
Bloom looked at her watch. "It's 6:44," she called back. They made it to the stage area.
There were fans dressed in Witchy Secrets shirts they had made, had Witchy Secrets posters they made, and Faragonda saw one kid with the words Witchy Secrets rule written in his upper arm and lower shoulder.
Three of the girls from the poster were looking out from the curtain. They seemed to be arguing. Then their eyes landed on the group from Magix. They walked towards them with smiles. "Hi. Uh... we don't normally do this sort of thing, buuut. Would you like to come backstage to meet the band?" the one with brown hair asked.
"We only heard of you yesterday," Griffin announced.
"Well, all the better then. You're not obsessed fans and we can introduce you to a band. You never know, maybe you'll like us."
The headmistresses and headmaster nodded along with the teachers and Bloom. The band members smiled and walked away, motioning them to follow. As the one with brown hair took the lead of the other two girls, the Magix group noticed some strands of her brown hair was curled. It made her have that sort of mystical look. As they were backstage, they wondered where the other member was. "Why'd you choose us, anyway?" Bloom asked.
The one with straightened silver, clearly dyed, hair turned to face them. "You guys seemed the strangest, but normal. Like your hair"- she nodded to Faragonda -"is like a girl from our band's. And the purple hair. It's totally awesome. And-"
She was interrupted by the girl with the fully curled red hair knocking on the bathroom door. "Come on!" she demanded.
"So, you've got a few people?" a voice wondered aloud. Her voice was soft and gentle and was like silk, it was so smooth. But there was also shyness in it.
"Yes now come on!" That sounded suspiciously like a whine.
"Ok. Ok. Ok." A girl with white hair, they could tell not dyed, came out. Her head was down and she hid behind her hair. As she came out, she pulled her light blue bottom skirt down. Her shirt was a short-sleeved light blue and had white designs in places. The inner skirt went to about her upper thigh. The outer skirt was light blue and see-through; it almost touched the ground in the back, but only went to above her knees in the front. She had blue high-heels that had straps all over. Her hair was normal: no curling, no straightening, no flattening; just brushed. She also wore a golden locket. She looked at them through her hair. "That's more than a few people," she whispered shyly.
For a moment Bloom was tempted to attack her and call her Icy, but the last time she accused someone of being one of the trix, she attacked princess Diaspro. Plus, Icy wasn't shy. Perhaps Icy was faking.
"I'm Earth," the one with brown hair said. She was wearing an outfit like the girl with white hair's, but brown. Brown even length see-through skirt, but underneath she wore brown leggings. She had a short-sleeved dark green shirt with a tree spread across the front; it was loose so not to show her small amount of extra weight. Her shoes were brown boots, not high-heeled, with fur on top. Her hair was a normal brown except an occasional curled strand.
The girl with white hair raised her hand, looking at the ground. "Ice," she announced.
The one with red hair walked forward and pushed Earth aside. "I'm Fire," she proclaimed proudly. She had a short-sleeved orange shirt with a dragon on it, red leggings, and high-heeled boots. She hair was fully curled.
"I'm either Air or Wind. It depends on the song. It also depends in whichever I want to go by. Sometimes it's Air and sometimes it's Wind. Ohhh, maybe I could go by like Sky or-" she was saying it all in one breath.
Fire clamped a hand over her mouth, but she was still mumbling. Air's outfit was a silver short-sleeved shirt with the occasional black design. A pair of black leggings with silver sparkles covering them. Her shoes were normal silver flats with black swirls on them. Her hair was flat-ironed.
They all had one thing in common. The four colored bracelets that went all the way up her arm. The colors were: a brown and green swirl, white, a red and yellow swirl, and silver.
Earth had green eyeshadow on, but that was it. Fire had RED eyeliner and that was it. Air had clear lipgloss on and silver eye shadow. Ice had nothing on which was ok because no one was ever going to see her face on stage anyway.
Zarathustra looked at Ice. "So, your the one resonsible for these cold winters. You and I need to have a talk," she joked. Ice giggled, but stopped herself short.
The other members seem surprised by this. Zarathustra looked at them, asking 'what?' silently. "No one has been able to get her to do anything close to that in years. How'd you do it?" Air asks.
Before Zarathustra could answer, Earth's wrist beeped. Then they realize that it's 7:00. The members start to walk out on the stage, and Zarathustra looks at Ice all serious like. "We're still going to have a talk later." Ice smiled and nodded.
They walk on stage. "Well. What'd you guys think?" Ediltrude asks, curious on her family's opinion.
"I think she Icy acting really well," Bloom says bluntly.
"As do I," Griffin agrees.
"Very well then. We shall deal with her later," Faragonda concluded. Zarathustra didn't want to deal with her; she didn't think Ice wasn't Icy. They decide to listen to the song.
Earth got on the mic. Air went to the guitar. Fire got the drums. And Ice got on the keyboard. They started to play. "We're going to sing Daughters Of Darkness," Earth sounded. (Hailstorm).
"Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na
We came to battle baby
We came to win the war
We won't surrender
Till we get what we're lookin' for
We're blowing out our speakers
There goes the neighbourhood
A little scissor happy
Little misunderstood
We can turn you on
Or we will turn on you
Daughters of darkness
Sisters insane
A little evil
Goes a long, long way
We stand together
No we're not afraid
We'll live forever
Daughters of darkness

And I don't need no dogtag
My name is on my back
We can turn you on
Or we can turn on you
Daughters of darkness

Daughters of Darkness."
There was clapping and shouts and whistles. After about 8 more songs, Witchy Secrets walked back stage. Earth had to have some water. "Ice. We have to do one final song," Earth prompted.
Ice shook her head. "No way. Nowaynowaynowaynowaynoway. It involves me singing. I'm not doing it."
Faragonda looked at her. She put a hand on her should, which Ice tensed up at. "Come on, Ice. Show us, and all of those fans, what you're made," she encouraged.
"Sorry. I'm not a slave to pride."
"Ok well we thought you should know... we may have made a fearless potion," Fire said, forgetting the other group was back there.
"Please. Please. Please. Pleeeaaase tell me you used my potion book."
"You have a potion book?"
"Yes! It has all my attempts and successes in it."
"Oh. Didn't know you had one."
"Where's the potion?"
"Bathroom."
Ice ran to the bathroom and as she shut the door, she magically locked the door. An explosion, a few crash noises, and a few seconds later, Ice came out and her hair was a mess and she looked as if she had been fighting days on end. "Never. Make another potion without consulting me or my potions book, again," she breathed. No one saw her necklace glow. Ice put her hand up to her mouth and coughed. Black smoke came out.
"Did the potion, by any chance, work?"
Ice shook her head, turned to face the bathroom, and waved her hand. All the smoke that was in there vanished and the stalls were no longer broken. Ice walked back in there and a few moments later, she came out looking just as she did before. "I'll play the song, but I'm not singing it." They started jumping around clapping. "Stop being peppy girls. Oh yeah. Uh... magic is real; I'm magic; you can call me Anne. I'll explain later."
They walked back on stage and Ice still took up the keyboard, and Earth started off the song. (Hex Girls.) [Italics= Earth. Bold= others except Ice.]
"Earth, Ice, Fire, and Air..."
"We may look bad, but we don't care."
"We ride the wind. We feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire."
"To love the earth is our one desire."
"Love the earth is only fair. It's one big earth that we must share. We love the with all our fire. It's in our souls, our one desire. Earth, Ice, Fire, and Air."
"We may look bad, but we don't care."
"We ride the wind. We feel the fire. To love the earth is our one desire. Nature is a precious gift; it will make your spirits lift. Love the earth with all your fire. It's in your soul, your one desire. Earth, Wind, Fire, and Air."
"We may look bad, but we don't care."
"We ride the wind. We feel the fire. To love the eeeaaarrth is our one desire." It ended with Air playing her guitar really awesomely.
They went backstage for the final time. It was 9:36. The others talked to the Magix group while Anne got changed. She walked out in a blue jean skirt that seemed to stay as though there were a cage under it sound with a plain long sleeved brown shirt. Her shoes were just run of the mill black high-heeled boots.
When she walked out, Earth had just whisper/asked Faragonda, "What do you do?"
"I'm the headmistress of a school for all girls."
"I'm out," Anne announced in a whisper. The other girls had to go to the bathroom.
The Headmistresses and Headmaster shot Anne. She grunted as she hit the wall. "What the..." It only came out as a whisper though.
Faragonda stuck Anne to the wall and Griffin and Saladin combined to keep her that way. Eventually all of them were resorting to torture in order to get her to talk. "Icy, why are you here? We won't hurt you anymore than we have to if you tell us," Griffin persuaded.
Anne grunted in the effort of trying to get off the wall. The other band members walked out and were too shocked to say anything. "Go home. I'll meet up with you guys later!" Anne whisper/demanded.
"But-"
"Go!"
"Goodness. You're starting to sound less and less like a Trix, though it's probably a trick to get us to let you go," Bloom thought aloud.
"Trix? You're starting to sound like one of the winx girls."
Bloom was distracted for a moment, but regained her position after Codatota told her Icy was probably messing with her.
Anne focused on doing something she had only ever done once. Vines crawled up her legs and continued up until they were at her neck. They slowed at her chest and neck.
"Faragonda?" Bloom asked.
"That's not me," Alfea's heamistress replied.
The vines finally reached the top of Anne's head. She vanished before the groups eyes.

Next:
"I try not to hold grudges. Corrupts the soul."
"I'm going to kill you later."
Faragonda spelled Anne's tea.
Faragonda puts Anne to sleep.
"This is as far as she'll let me go."
