Dancing Alone
Disclaimer: I don't own Winx Club and any of its characters, storylines,… And that goes for the whole story. Got it?
A/N: Hey guys!! So this is my new story and it's totally different than the other one!! You'll see! It doesn't really follow the original series, but it's the same principal. Right now, it's basically BloomSky; but I'll make it a little bit more general, with more couples! There will be 2 new characters, but they won't appear too often/soon. It has music and dance in it, but not too much. It's not the main storyline. Now on with the story…
Chapter I: Flashback
Some people say dancing is gracious and that it's a gift, other say any savage can dance. I don't think that way. For me, dancing is what I love; but I cannot commit to it completely. Because I am of royal blood.
I am Bloom, Princess of Sparx, the planet I have to protect all times. I lost my parents when I was little; but I survived. Sparx was attacked by three evil witches when I was six. I remember everything lively.
"Mommy? Mommy where are you?" I yell but I can't see her. Where are my mom and dad? Everything looks so broken. I don't understand. I walk in the hallway that leads to the dining-room and suddenly I hear something.
"Aaaaaaargh!"
"Mommy?!" I run to the place I think the voice came from.
"Oritel!" That's my mom!
"Mom?!Mom?!" I scream and then I see my parents, with three ugly women. They scare me. Oh no, they are witches!
"What do we have here? A little girl." One witch says.
"Don't touch her." My mother says calmly. She's always so brave.
"Aqua fire!" she yells, protecting my father
"Oh dear don't you see? He's already lost."
"No!" My mother shouts
"Yes he is, pathetic Queen! Now give us what we want! In which room is it?"
"Never!" she replies.
"Suit yourself." The witch says and throws energy at my father. Dark energy. That's bad, my mother taught me that. I run over to my dad.
"Dad!" I yell but he doesn't answer.
"Daddy!" I repeat crying. This isn't funny. I'm starting to get really mad, it's like I'm burning inside. I always have that when I'm angry. My mother is always angry with me then, because she says I have to keep calm, 'cause otherwise people will see me like that and then I won't be a good queen.
"Bloom honey, calm down. You have to go to the hall and you have to inform Eraklyon of our situation. They will help us."
"What? Mommy I don't understand. Why?"
"Phone Eraklyon Bloom! Go! And stay calm."
"But mom, daddy won't talk to me. Is he angry with me?"
"Firestar." She desperately says, using my secret name "Go! Your father and I love you."
"Enough with this crap! Mors cadens!" the tallest witch says and my mother falls to the ground. I immediately run over to my mom and start yelling at her.
"Mom! Mom! Wake up!" I don't want to phone Eraklyon. Those people are scary. Except the blonde prince and his friend. Though lately they don't want to play with me anymore as often as they used to. I hear the witches talking.
"What did she call that carrot head? Firestar?" I never liked my hair.
"She's the one!" the other witch says. They suddenly all look at me and I understand this cannot be good so I run away very fast; but I'm still little and I can't fly like they can. I reach the phone in my sister's bedroom and I quickly send an emergency message to Eraklyon. But when I turn around I see the witches are in front of me, floating above my older sister's golden bed.
"Oh my. She's here. All alone, by herself. Just this little tiny person." The fattest witch says.
"Don't come near her." I hear my big sister say, who is standing in the doorway. I run straight into her familiar comforting arms.
"This is getting boring" one of the witches says. Daphne looks at the witches and quickly views the situation.
"Run." She says and takes my hand.
"Bloom" she says, when we rest behind a massive column. I'm going to transport you to Eraklyon. You will be helped there."
"What about you?"
"Bloom." She says admonishing.
"Okay" I say with a tiny voice.
"Goodbye, little sister." She says, crying. She puts a beautiful golden necklace with a medallion around my neck and softly kisses my cheek.
"Daphne!" I say but I'm already gone.
That was the last time I saw her. When I arrived at Eraklyon, the king didn't believe me at first, but then I got really mad and suddenly all the torches in the big throne room magically lit. He came to me and saw I was wearing the Royal Medallion, which belonged to the most important Nymph of Magix, my sister.
Then he jumped up and yelled at the guards they needed to prepare 2 ships. Two! That was all he gave.
I saw a blonde boy looking at me. I glared back at him, but he looked away. I would have been ashamed then too. I've never liked the Eraklyons since then. Though they seem to think I do. They are always controlling me and they think I like it. Twisted people. It's not like I hate them. I don't! Except one person. Sky. He could have helped back then, but he didn't. It's not like he didn't have enough power; he's the kings first son! Refusing me help, was refusing our friendship. We met once after that incident, when I was 11 and he was 13. I was wearing the worst gown, I was too little and my eyes were too big for my face. I looked dreadful! He totally laughed at me and made fun of me in front of the whole royal crowd. Luckily, Brandon made him stop by proposing to sneak out to steal some vodka.
I have changed a lot since we last met. I have grown a lot and I'm pretty leggy. My big blue eyes now sparkle in my light skin and my hair… it's my pride. It's long, red and… I love it! Today is my first day of school at Alfea. My mom went there and she was a great student. She has always been friends with Faragonda, the headmistress of Alfea. Faragonda was the one that fixed Sparx again, together with Saladin and Griffin. At least, that's what I'm told, I never saw it.
There's something new about this school year. Specialists need to enroll as a student at Alfea because Redfountain and Alfea decided to strengthen the alliance between the two schools. Cloudtower wisely stays out of it. They are probably laughing at us. So I'll probably see Brandon around here, since he's a student at Redfountain, though he's in his third year. They have to 'study' 2 years earlier than us fairies, but they start earlier. And they don't study like we do, they train.
Anyhow, I'm standing in front of my closet (I already packed my clothes for Alfea) wondering what I should wear on my first day at Alfea. I look questioningly at my pet, Kiko.
"Ah it's always blue and white" I know. So I put on a white pullover with a roll neck, a short jeans skirt, long blue boots with long light blue stockings and around my neck Daphne's medallion. I wear it as much as I can, but it doesn't match all of my clothes off course. I apply some lip gloss and mascara and I'm ready to go. On to what will probably be the biggest adventure of my life.
