Chapter 16

I appear at Alfea, as relief washes over me. "Aqua," a voice comes from behind. I look in that direction, as Rena stands there. She smiles in my direction, before giving me a big hug.


"Hey," I say, nervously glancing all around. "Where's everyone else?" She frowns and furrows her eyebrows in concentration. I look at the ground, as an unsettling feeling forms in the pit of my stomach.


"They went to find Ms. Faragonda," Rena says nervously. "Her and Valtor fought and went into the forest." I look at her, knowing what has to be done.


"Rena, you find the headmistress," I say sharply, as she nods. "I'll find the Winx and—" She stares at me, as a nervous expression forms on her face.


"Okay," she responds. "I'll join the pixies and find her." I nod, before making my orb appear and seeing the Winx at Cloud Tower. According to what happened earlier, it's clear that Valtor is staying at Cloud Tower.


"Aqua: Magic Winx: Enchantix!"



I rush to Cloud Tower, before breaking into their cafeteria and seeing tons of witches. Screaming echoes through the room, as the ceiling opens up and Valtor reveals himself.


"Valtor!" I hiss, noticing my friends. "You—" I think of Jax and start to wonder how he's even related to this person. I clench my fists, before narrowing my eyes at him. "Yes, little fairy?" Valtor mocks, as a smirk forms on his face.


"I—" I start, as a bunch of orbs charge at me. Before they could hit me, a shield appears in front of me. Jax reveals himself, as my eyes light up. "Aqua, you're one of the most impulsive girls I know," he states, as I stare at him in shock. "Even so, I did promise that I would protect you against him. Let me handle him. Uncle, you're mine."


Valtor laughs darkly and stares at Jax. "It seems the rumors were true about my older sister," he says in amusement. "She got married and had a child after I was sent to the omega dimension."


"That doesn't concern you," Jax states, glaring at him. "I'm going to be the one that destroys you!" Worry forms in the pit of my stomach, as Jax starts to battle Valtor.


"Jax, please let me help you," I say, as he nods lightly. "Water stars: secret spell! Come forth!" As the spell hits Valtor, it slams him into the nearby wall.


He gasps in pain. It was almost like my true power weakens him. "Ugh..." He groans, before intensely staring at me. "You'll pay for that!" My eyes flash dangerously, as a hand comes out of the walls of Cloud Tower and charges at us.


"Winx, we need to get out of here!" I state. They nod lightly, before following me out of the building. Jax, who uses his magic to propel him forward, remains with us. By the time we're far enough away from Cloud Tower and land safely on the ground, I turn to my friends. "We need to get back in there," Bloom says. "We need to find Ms. Faragonda."


As if on cue, my phone goes off. "It's Rena, and she's found Ms. Faragonda," I say, as their eyes widen in surprise. "She's sent me her location. Let's go." I exchange a look with Jax, before I lead the way. We arrive there in a matter of minutes, as Rena stands in front of a tree. To our horror, Ms. Faragonda was fused together with a tree, being completely trapped.
