Chapter 33

He's defenseless! Kill him! He will perish! He'll die! The voice swarms through my head like a billion gnats. I look at Tritannus, noticing the fear on his face. I need to fight this.

"L-Light..." I choke out, as the energy from the pillar of light completely shrouds me. You'll never get rid of us! We'll always be there! The voices continue, as anger forms in the pit of my stomach.

The voices begin to fade ever so slightly, as relief washes over me. "Aqua!" Stella gasps. I reach for her and the other Winx, before being launched to the ground by another wave of pollution.

Suddenly, a splash comes from the surface above us. I look in that direction, as a male quickly approaches me. "Aqua!" He yells, which instantly captures everyone's attention.

He's perfect! Let's kill him! The moment he dies, you'll completely give up hope and be the perfect host! The voice continue. Tears form in my eyes, as I extend my arm in his direction.

"J-Jax..."

A second later, he's right in front of me and holding me in his arms. "Aqua, I love you," he murmurs, as I stare into his yellow eyes. "We've been through so much, and I promise that I'll never give up on you no matter what. You're my world, and you mean so much to me." Tears stream down my cheeks, as my body starts to shake uncontrollably.

"I love you too..." I hum, burying my face into his chest. Relief floods into me, as a genuine smile forms on my lips. KILL HIM! The voice screech, as I flinch and grab my head.

Suddenly, a sword appears in my hand, as my eyes flash dangerously. "Aqua," Jax states, knocking the sword out of my hand. "You can do this. You're one of the strongest people I know. Fight this. I know you can win."

"Aqua, use your fairy dust!" Rena shouts, which captures my attention. "Our fairy dust can eliminate dark spells!" I nod in her direction, hoping that this'll work. Although I'm not a fairy anymore, there's still a chance that it'll work. I clench my fists in desperation, wanting to ensure their safety and avoid harming them at all costs.

"Winx, Jax, stay back!" I declare, as they swim away from me. "Fairy dust! Extinguish this darkness within me!" Light shrouds me, as the darkness vanishes into thin air. A warm smile forms on my lips, as the hatred swarming within me dissipates.

I smile, as relief forms in the pit of my stomach. "You're okay!" Jax states happily, before swimming towards me. My body starts to feel heavy, as I struggle to remain conscious.

Nissa's eyes widen in terror. "Aqua!"

"Nissa..." I choke out, just as Jax manages to catch me in his arms. "Jax..." My voice falters, as I lay my head on his chest and fall unconscious.
