Removed Memories

By: xMidnightDreamsx

Summary: It's been five years since Bloom had been kidnapped. No one knows whom kidnapped Bloom, and why he or she kidnapped her? It all started a couple weeks later after Bloom found her birthparents. Five years later...Bloom came back to Magix, but she isn't the same person as before. She has changed, in those five years. Her memories are gone swept away and replaced by something else something...

Tuesday, April 5, 2016

Last chapter, the Winx had found out information about the man who's behind Bloom's disappearance and not only that he's planning to turn his very own family to the side of evil. Oritel's having a feeling in the back of his mind—that it was very own brother who was doing this to him. The Winx girls had arrived on Domino to talk to Daphne and inform her on the evil that's threatening her sister, and soon threaten her family. Oritel and Marion had a discussion over what's happening in their family...and how they're going to handle it...

Chapter Five: The Prince of Darkness

Aragon was pacing all around in his throne room, figuring out what to do next. He watched Bloom as Dark Bloom was becoming stronger each day and Bloom herself was becoming weak and soon from now Dark Bloom has complete control of Bloom's physical body while Bloom would be trapped within herself unable to stop what's coming next. What an innocent and naïve girl she was! She has no idea what was coming to her, now. He chucked to himself at the thought of it.

Aragon went up to the throne and sat down, thinking about the times that were different. He'd never used to be this way, but something forced him to become the way that he is now. To become a very monster that everyone thought he was when he was a young prince.

Though he was never like this, but people had treated him like that - to become a cold hearted monster - as he is now. Dark, memories had flooded his mind. He wished he would forget those memories, but it was impossible to forget each hard, cold-blooded memory just flooded through his mind. It fueled him for revenge. He wanted revenge. He held out a picture – a picture of his family. He could never forget how they treated him (or assumed they treated him like that).

He will give them a taste of what he had felt thought his life. He wanted to make them pay and suffer just as the way he did when he was younger. He remembered when if first happened - ever since he had attended Red-Fountain in his sophomore year and his younger brother was attending Red-Fountain for the first time. Though his younger brother was getting more admiration from all the professors in Red-Fountain saying that he's one of the tremendous students that they had this year.

This made him utterly jealous of his younger brother. He remembered telling his brother that he should attend Red-Fountain it's the best place in the Magic Dimension where they can become excellent warriors of the Magic Dimension. Who knew that he would out beat him in return?

Flashback

A few months before going to Red-Fountain...

"Come on, you should come to Red-Fountain instead of staying here and learning from them. The professors at Red-Fountain is much better than the ones that we're being trained under." Prince Oberon had told his younger brother.

"Look, I rather stay here and not go to Red-Fountain," his younger brother said, a bit annoyed that his brother was telling to go and he doesn't want to for too many reason he doesn't want to explain why he doesn't want to go. He knew all about Red-Fountain and how great it is...but maybe learning a few things from here could be something that they'll never come across to in Red-Fountain.

"Come on! Since it's beginning of the new school year and Alfea opens at the same time as Red-Fountain. We could kick off to a great start of the year with talking to girls and flirting with them." He grinned to his younger brother in hoping he would agree to the idea of going to Red-Fountain.

"Besides, it'll be our little brake from all the royal duties that we have to attend to."

Oritel looked at his older brother for a moment. Thinking about the idea about going to Red-Fountain, and looked at his brother, "fine. I'll go to Red-Fountain. Maybe I change is what I need."

...

The opening of the new school year...

As it was the beginning of the new school year, many young students from across the Magic Dimension were hanging out everywhere. Clubs and restaurants were packed with young teenagers, who might be returning to their second or their year. Some of them is their first year - the beginning of their long journey to succeed.

As prince Oberon and his younger brother went to Magix. They were hanging out in the city as they saw many young Alfea students walking passed them.

"Oh, might as well I should've told you that Alfea is also starting a new year. And have to say - there's a lot of young hot chicks that I'm dying to meet." Oberon tossed a sexy smile towards the girls that were walking passed by them.

Oritel looked at his older brother with an arched brow. "Something tells me you don't even have a girlfriend."

He looked at his younger brother a bit irritated when he said that, but calmed his temper down and explained to him, "I did, but things didn't work out between us."

"Why am I even surprised?" Oritel shook his head and glanced at his brother and said, "why you look at hot chicks while I go somewhere else and check out the city.

Oberon waved at his brother as if singling him you can leave, and I'll be here.

Oritel took off...leaving his older brother alone.

A few hours later, Oritel had come back to his brother but with a hot redheaded chick. "Oberon," his younger brother called out to him snapping him out of his thoughts as he turned around...his face was in shock as he saw the beautiful red haired girl with Oritel.

He was speechless. He couldn't say anything and if he did, he would probably mumble out a few words in a whisper. He was truly shocked. His brown eyes were widening in shock.

He snapped from out from his shock face and spoke out in a sexy voice, "Hello, I'm Oberon, Oritel's older brother."

He gave her a sexy look, but she wasn't too fond of him, something about him that she didn't like.

"I'm Marion," she said, as her warm green eyes were shimmering. It made his heart melt. Instantly, he liked this girl. He wanted her to himself.

"You...um..." he was thinking of a word to describe her - she's more than beautiful...she's like some sort of goddess that had fallen from the skies, "...you're stunning."

"Um...well..." she blushed, "thank you for your compliment."

...

Months later, Oberon noticed that his younger brother was getting so much compliments from his professors and even the one that his younger bother had shared that one class together since his brother was clearly advanced with his skill that put him into the next level.

One of the dark haired professors named Hagen had told him a few words that made him despise him and he hated him from that day on.

"You should be like your younger brother Oritel. You could learn a few things that I've clearly learned from. He's clearly one of the best students I had in years."

He hated his younger brother who was getting so much attention from everyone including from their parents. Their parents had always looked up to him as a more of a successful future king than him that he would be one day - if he were to lead the planet Domino someday.

Even that girl, Marion, had grown a fond of him. She liked him a lot. He heard her say to Oritel, "your different from any of the guys I've ever seen. I really do hope we can be..."

"...Can be what?" Oritel's voice had asked.

"More than just friends..." she gave a flirtatious smile - a smile that she had never given him. She only had given him a friendly smile, but to Oritel...she was always different with Oritel. She acted different too - he could see the love in her eyes.

Why him? Why did he have such good luck with women and not him? Everyone on Domino loved him, and they hope that he would be their future king one day. Why did he have such luck? He was starting to envy his own brother.

...

Oberon was invited by his brother and his friends to come and join them and celebrate the end of their fantastic year.

"Come on, Oberon, you know you would like it." Oritel told him, smacking him on the arm - just as they used to do in when they were younger.

Look, now his brother was the one telling him to join him when he remembered a year ago he was the one to convince to come here from the very beginning. How things really turned out to be. He was jealous that he made lots of friends and those friends of his had girlfriends what made him jealous even more was that Marion had officially become his girlfriend.

He wanted her to be his girlfriend. He was in love with her, but no, Oritel was the one who had to take her away from him. It wasn't fair. Never fair.

"To us, for having such a great year!" A blond girl with dark blue eyes had said, as she clung her arm in Radius's and they both shared a kiss.

"I agree!" the dark skinned girl had said, smiling at her fiancé.

"I couldn't wish for more of a better year," Marion smiled at Oritel and they kissed passionately on the lips, which made Oberon want to hurl on the inside - disgusted by what he was seeing. It wasn't fair to see his brother to have a happy easygoing life - where everyone around him likes him. Why did they like him? What couldn't they see that in him? He was charming-handsome as his brother. He had the skills, well, not like Oritel, but who really cares about that!

...

"Why Oritel you've made us so proud of us, my son." The king said proudly, as he was looking at his son.

"And from what I heard, you have a lovely girlfriend." The queen gave off a warm smile at her son - who couldn't be more proud of her son's success. As Marion blushed as what Oritel's mother had just said.

"Why thank you, your highness. It really means a lot to me."

"You two would make such an excellent couples," the queen added in.

As the king glanced at his oldest son, Oberon, and added, "why couldn't you be more like your brother? He's an excellent warrior, and makes such wise decisions, and the way he handle things...and well is more rational with his actions than you'd ever be!" The king pointed out in his disappointments of a son. The king had never seen any success within his oldest son and probably would never see in him.

Oberon couldn't tolerate his parents no longer - in fact, he couldn't tolerate anyone who had compared him with his younger brother, Oritel. He hated that.

No one ever found anything they liked of him to be.

He had the urge to snap at his parents. "Why does everything have to be about Oritel - comparing me to him?!"

The king's dark brown eye narrowed at his son's sudden out burst commenting on his brother. "Because," he paused, "...because he'll be a better king than you'll ever be!" He pointed out to him as he grabbed his wine to drink from.

"A better king than me?!" He yelled angrily at his parents.

"Oberon!" his mother snapped at him for his tone of voice that he was using towards his parents.

"What? I'm your first-born, so the crown should be handed to me and not to Oritel..." he hissed at his brother's name.

King Emerson looked at his son, shaking his head in disapproval, "No. It's up to me and your mother to decide."

"What?! No! That's unfair, father! I deserve to be the KING! I DO DESERVE IT MORE THAN HIM!" as the first Prince of Domino snapped at his father - his somewhat magic had awaken and since he couldn't control his magic...it unleashed at his father which tossed him back from his chair, landing on the hard cold marbled floor.

"Dad!" a yell came from the table and he immediately rushed to see if his father was okay.

"Your highness!" Marion cried for her king and was helping Oritel to help his father up, but it was no use.

"Oberon Daniel Sparks!" Queen Amelia shouted at her son with such furry, as her face was red in anger towards her son.

As they heard men running to the dinning room with spears in their hands...their face had whiten as a ghost as they saw their king was collapsed as they watched their prince and the young girl helping the king up so they would get him to the chair.

"Guards!" The queen hissed, and pointed out to her son in order for the guards to seize her own son.

How could his very own mother be cruel to him? He was in disbelief for what she had said.

"Arrest him!"

As the guards all had surrounded the prince. As they grabbed the prince's arms and held him down. The queen looked at her son; she couldn't believe for what she was about to do to her own son even though it pained her to do so...

"Take him to cells and lock him there where he would never escape."

"But mother..." Oritel protested, trying to defend his brother for what he had done. Maybe, he had a reason to react this way.

"No Oritel, your brother must be punished for what he'd done to his father," she simply said, trying to stay neutral as possibly without any emotions getting into her way.

Oritel knew his mother was trying to hide her emotions and he knew she had a kind heart and would never do this to her own son, but Oberon on the other hand, had pushed their mother to do this to him. He'd pushed her off the edge and this was his punishment.

"I will have my revenge someday - that I promise!" He hissed towards his family.

"One day..." as his voice echoed through the palace's halls.

Oritel and Marion saw the faint tear on the queen's face. She seemed to be upset for what she did to her son and tried not to show off her emotions, as she rushed to see if her husband was okay.

...

A year later...

Marion and Oritel were getting married and he knew they were as he was hearing the rumors going around. Oberon had escaped from the prison cell. He was wearing a dark blue robe that was covering his entire face.

He hated Oritel and Marion, and his parents so much. They were the ones who made him become a cruel cold-hearted monster.

He wanted to do something. Well maybe, not to Oritel and Marion yet, but to his parents on their wedding day. He couldn't wait till tonight.

He heard wedding bells ring though the palace as if it was time.

"It's going to be such a beautiful royal wedding!" One lady in her mid-thirties commented, with dark brown hair had said, to her friend.

"Indeed. Crown Prince Oritel and soon to be Princess Marion are lucky to have each other." Another woman had gushed over them, which made him sick to his stomach. That darkened Oberon's mood even more. He was mimicking each word that each person was saying about Oritel and Marion.

The wedding was going to take place in the gardens' of the royal palace.

'This was going to be too easy.' He thought to himself, as he watched everyone coming in and out. He memorized their every move. Ever since he'd been locked behind bars, he'd been practicing his so-called magic - the one thing that Oritel doesn't have.

He knew where the wedding was going to be and he knew from where he was going to watch the view from. He couldn't help but laugh at what he's about to do next.

He had a perfect view. It wasn't neither far nor too close, but it was just prefect. No one knew about this room in the palace. Not even his parents or maids or servants. No one knew about it, which was good for him.

Soon, he saw the Marion...his heart had skipped a beat when he laid eyes on her. She was ethereally beautiful. Damn his brother. He cursed and cursed his brother for the good fortunes he was having. It was unfair. She was wearing a stunning white gown, which was strapless, and the dress was a lace style. Her hair was down in beautiful curls; a golden crown was placed on the top of her head, as the long white vial was connecting to the crown. Her make-up was done beautifully. He watched as the love of his life slip away from him - marrying her one true love, which was his brother. How could he live with that!

He watched Oritel and Marion saying their I-do's. As Oritel placed the ring on Marion's delicate finger...something within him finally snapped. He felt broken, unloved, and unwanted by anyone, even by his own family. Everyone cheered for the new happily royal couple.

"Long live Crown Prince Oritel and Princess Marion, the newly weds!"

Oritel and Marion smiled happily as their parents came to their children with happy smiles on their faces. They couldn't be any happier for them. Oritel was looking tall and handsome, and happy as he had the love of his life in his arms and he wrapped around Marion.

They kissed again on the lips passionately - which burned his mind from seeing them kiss. He took everything away from him.

This was the perfect time to interrupt the wedding.

The skies darken changing the pleasant mood into something darker and sinister like. A dark hooded man appeared in the skies as he was floating down to the royal couple newly weds.

Marion clutched to her newly husband in fear of the dark hooded man that was approaching them. The air suddenly turned cold. Very cold.

Marion noticed that ices were slowly forming everywhere as Oritel was trying to identify the hooded man. He chuckled at them.

That voice was familiar...

Oritel had recognized it from somewhere. But it couldn't be...it wasn't possible, couldn't be...

The two parents were next to their children as well as guards who were protecting them from the unknown hooded figure.

The figure only laughed at their facial expression that was across their faces - they were afraid - afraid of him as the dark energy was surrounding him.

Oritel had his sword at his side, waiting, and watching him to make a move on him. Oritel had a sharp gaze at the mysterious figure - wondering who this person might be. As the figure removed his clock...

Suddenly, everyone heard a gasp and they started to mumble a few things. Oritel's face was dead white, as his sword dropped to the ground in shock.

Oberon?

"Brother?"

"Why...why...hello, brother. Aren't you happy to see me? I know I am!" He smirked, yelling loudly as everyone stared at him, not saying anything. No one dared to say a single word.

He gave off an evil laughter, "why are you stopping this...this beautiful wedding. I always imagined the day that my brother gets married to the love of his life...so why stop and continue on!" his voice sound venom as a snake's hissing voice.

The king looked at him, his eyes full of anger and no passion or serenity towards his son, but it was rather cold, dark and empty. He didn't care about him no longer, ever since he had turn to the dark side.

"Oh might I say, you look really stunning, Marion." He gave her an evil smile, but he swirled his fingers, as Marion felt herself being lifted to him, and she turned back to Oritel so he would save her from him.

"Marion!" as Oritel tried to catch her hand in his but failed, and he glared at his so-called brother.

"Leave her alone, Oberon! She has nothing to do with it!" Oritel yelled as he grabbed his sword.

"Has nothing to do with it!" he laughed wickedly, shaking his head at his younger brother, "she has everything to do with it, Oritel!" Oberon snapped at his brother.

Oritel tightened his grip on the sword looking at brother and wife. He needed a way to save his wife from his evil brother, his eyes narrowing at him. He was different from a year ago. A year behind bars had changed even more - he's even worse than he was. He never did learn his lesson.

"Leave the girl alone, Oberon!" The king said firmly to his son in annoyance - who was causing a big scene.

"No. I will not!" He said sharply, as his fingers traced up Marion's face - and she flinched from his touch. She gave him a death look.

"Marion, sweetheart. I'll give you two options," his face turning into a devious smirk.

"I will never listen to you, you're a monster! Only a monster would do this!"

"Ouch. Marion that hurts a lot." He said, as he cupped her chin towards him with an evil smile spread across his face. Marion felt fear within her. She hated him.

"The two options are: one - you can be with me, or two - be with my brother and pay the price," his voice was low and dangerous.

"I will never be with you - in your dreams!"

A smirk was placed across his face. He tossed Marion back to Oritel as he catched her in his arms. "You will all regret what you have!"

Dark energy surrounded the entire the garden turning the skies dark and gloomy, and within a blink of an eye, Oritel and Marion's parents were long gone. But as Oritel and Marion were looking around, they knew something was missing and they felt it as well. What did he do? What happened? They heard Oberon's evil laughter….

They both glanced around to notice one important thing, well, not thing, but exactly four people were missing. And those four people happened to be their parents.

"Where did he take them?" Marion asked in fear.

"Don't worry sweetheart, I promise you, we'll find them." Oritel tried to calm his wife down, as he glanced at his brother, he yelled, "where are they?!"

An evil smile crept across his face - his blue eyes held something more wicked to it. He was enjoying it. He enjoyed kidnapping his and Marion's parents. He shook his head at his younger brother, "oh...I will never tell you that."

"Besides, even if you look everywhere, search every planet in the Magic Dimension, you'll never find them, ever!"

As he watched their shocked reactions as Marion spat out to him, "you evil bastard! How could you do such a thing?"

"I'm evil sweetheart; it's what I do, now," he paused, and looked around only to laugh at them, "hope you enjoy your lovely wedding!"

But before he vanished from their sight, Oritel had launched at his brother in anger with a sword in his hand, as he did, the sword had scrapped the arm of Oberon's, and dark red blood dripped to the ground, as Oberon hissed at Oritel.

"You will pay for this, little brother!" He vanished leaving Oritel and Marion clueless about where their parents are.

...

Fifteen and half years later...(before Domino's fall in four months)...

Oberon had come across the Ancestral Witches and Valtor. He'd been working them for nearly three years now. Valtor had a hideout cave deep within the forest, which was on Domino and not too far off from the palace. Oberon had always given them advancing news about what's going on from within the palace walls - taking out every secret as he can and giving it all to the Ancestral Witches and Valtor, since he was disguised as one of the royal guards.

Marion was once again was pregnant with Oritel's child. The thought of Marion being pregnant with his brother's child again - sickened him. He couldn't even picture that he was an uncle to two nieces. No. He didn't want to believe it - end of period.

Marion planned to name her second baby girl, Bloom. She was six months pregnant and three months from now - she would give birth to her baby girl. It was unfair. He had to do something about it. A thought had come into his mind. Kill them both at once. Only then he would have his revenge, but he couldn't do this task, so...he told Valtor to kill Marion, just like that and without hesitating as he would since he would watch his revenge come to life - reality - and laugh hard then.

And maybe after the death of Marion and the young child, he would go after his oldest niece, Daphne - who was a powerful Nymph of Domino and end her life as well. It was a perfect plan - just flawless. Nothing could go wrong. This was his revenge to get back at his brother by destroying his own family.

"Go and kill Marion?" Valtor asked, disbelief was hinted in his tone.

"Can't you do it?" Oberon asked, as he raised a brow at him and added, "to think I thought you were the greatest evil wizard in all of history?"

"I am," the demon wizard hissed at him at the way he was mocking him.

"Then why should you ask?"

"Queen Marion is pregnant with a child!"

"And what's wrong with that?" Oberon asked disliking that Valtor was rejecting his idea of killing Marion.

"But don't your mothers want the royal family dead anyways?" He shrugged as if it was nothing, to go and kill a pregnant woman.

He watched as Valtor was soon taking the idea, but Oberon added, "I heard that the child is foretold to be dead, once Domino is completely destroyed. As I watch my poor brother panicking to find a way to save his two beloved children from being dead."

"You've got a point there." Valtor said.

"So will you?"

"I will, but you're going to help me sneak into the palace."

Later that same night...

Oberon helped Valtor sneak into the palace. "I can't believe Oritel and Marion are such fools for not figuring you out since you're impersonating a royal guard." Valtor whispered to him.

"Oritel isn't here, on Domino. He's off on Eracklyon doing some trade-off with King Erendor and lets say a storm had hit the place and he isn't able to come until tomorrow morning. He should really keep this place well guarded especially since that his queen is alone for the night."

"Which makes it a perfect plan to kill her..." he whispered so lowly that not even a bug that flew passed would even hear him.

Oberon stopped Valtor and hid behind the curved in wall as they both watched two guards passed by - eyeing the place as if everything's in place.

They sneaked from the halls to the upper stairs on the West Wing palace without making a single noise. As they approached the ends of the hall and on the right side, it was the king and queen's bedroom as they could tell as there were five guards guarding the single room.

"Okay, mister smarty-pants how are we going to pass those five guards?" Valtor asked, as he eyed each one who was guarding the room very carefully.

"There's a secret door that leads to the bedroom directly without any guards knowing how we'd passed them."

Oberon had found the secret door, which was just a few halls down from the queen's bedroom. The door was old and ancient. As Oberon opened the secret, Valtor had followed him inside.

As they were walking by, Valtor noticed that this was a passageway that no one had used in centuries since it was mostly crumbly and dusty and there was no electricity and you had to light up a flame, which he had done when they first entered the passageway door.

At the end of their walk, they came across the closed dead end door. "Is this it?" Valtor asked, in disbelief. He never knew about any secret passages that was hidden in the palace - he even wondered was there more than one, and asked again, "is there more than one secret passages within the palace?"

Oberon gave him a grin smile, "there's more than one and some of them might lead to the council rooms."

Valtor eyed Oberon suspiciously, wondering why was he revealing all the secret information that he knew of to him. Wasn't he crazy or something? How could he trust him - as in one of the most powerful, dangerous, wizards in the Magic Dimension that ever seen. How could the former prince trust him one bit, since he might betray him even though they (as in also the Ancestral Witches) gaining information from him.

"This should be a piece of cake," the former prince had said, smiling devilishly, as he opened the door.

"Well, you should go in, first," the dark prince smiled, welcoming Valtor in.

Valtor had a feeling coming off from him. He didn't even want to enter the room first, but why?

Why was he looking at him so suspiciously?

The dark prince stayed behind, watching the view from behind, as he slowly closed the door. He used his magic to view what was happening in the room. As he was watching the scene...

Valtor was walking in as he saw the queen lying on her back with many pillows around and behind her. She was glowing radiantly, her skin was glowing a healthy pale color as her long red hair was disheveled. He could easily see how swollen her stomach was. True, he was the most wicked, evil, bastard, wizard in the entire Dimension had ever seen, but it was way too wrong of him to go too far off of the edge to kill a pregnant woman - who would soon have a child that seemed cruel to him.

"Remember, Valtor, you're going to kill the royal family and end their bloodline no matter what the situation they're in, even if Marion's pregnant - that child should be destroyed also!" Belladonna's voice rung through his mind.

He took a deep breath in. He had to do this.

The former prince's eyes widen in excitement at what the wizard was doing to the queen. His revenge was happening. It was really happening. A wide smile was across his face.

The queen's eyes fluttered wide open in fear as she was seeing a man who was trying to chock her to death. She tired to kick him off of her, but he held his two hands on her neck firmly and tightly as she was trying to gasp for breath. Marion had to do something for her dear life, and the life of her baby. Valtor smirked at the queen who was struggling to get out of his clutches and be free from him. She summoned a flame in her palm, and burned him on the chest.

He yelped out in pain. "AHHHH!"

Marion soon rushed out of bed, taking deep breaths in and out. She needed to get out of here...she...could've almost been murdered because of Valtor who'd somehow had snuck into her bedroom. She turned to look at the man who tired to kill her and flicked the lights on. Her green eyes widen in fear.

Valtor!

Valtor was the one who tired to kill her as she placed her hand protectively on her swollen stomach.

Soon guards rushed into the room as they heard a scream coming from the queen's bedroom. As five men, rushed in to see a man - wizard - trying to kill their queen in her own sleep.

They seized the wizard, but he immediately vanished leaving an evil echoing laughter behind as if warning them it wasn't the end. The royal guards rushed to the queen to see if she was okay, and she nodded...she felt that she was going to die tonight, and placed her two hands on her swollen stomach...as if to calm her down...and that everything was okay.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" the dark prince snapped at Valtor, who wasn't in a pleasant mood. He gave the former prince a deadly look, and hissed at him, "I could've been captured by those hooligans...and the queen, she had burned me. If she hadn't done that she would been dead within less than a few more minutes."

"Well you couldn't do the task right?" the former prince uttered in a low voice.

"I want to see you try!" Valtor pointed out at him.

"Now, Marion will tell Oritel what happen, and what do you think is going to happen next, eh? I only wonder?" Valtor shook his head at Oberon, and added, "you made me feel like a puppet, you evil bastard!"

"Well, not only you've failed me, but also your mothers," the dark prince retorted back at Valtor, who seethed at him angrily. His face was red like a tomato. "Tell me that one more time and I believe me when I say this, I will kill you!"

...

The next day...

The royal court meeting was being held in private, only the Captain of Royal Guards and the guards from last night to report about last night's events. The Queen wasn't looking too happy, as the King had his dark mood, and the eldest Princess was trying to sooth her mother. She had no idea what happened last night after from what she heard earlier at breakfast today; she was extremely shocked to learn about what happened to her mother. The young Princess had noticed during breakfast that her mother kept placing her hand on her swollen stomach as if she was worried about her baby for some reason.

King Oritel wasn't looking too thrilled to learn about what happened to his wife from last night. Someone had committed treason last night. He wondered who it was and wanted this man to be brought to justice and pay the price for what he'd done.

"Oritel, my love, please stop storming around, it won't solve anything," Queen Marion had told her husband in soft, warm, soothing voice - trying to calm her voice.

King Oritel glanced at wife, who was looking concerned for him.

"I can't Marion, that man had tired to murder you last night," he said with a grim expression across his face.

"That man turns out to be no other than Valtor himself."

"Valtor?" Oritel furrowed his brows at Marion.

"That bastard! I should've known it was him!" Oritel's hands were turned into fist balls. But now, how did that wizard got into the palace? It was highly secure. Unless...if...he found a way to get into the palace through secret passages that were hidden within the palace.

Oberon wanted to suggest something to the king, like guarding all the rooms of the palace inside out. Oritel knew one thing when he was young - there were always secret passages in the palace that leads to other rooms. Maybe the secret passages must be guarded or the doors must be sealed shut permanently.

"The secret doors of the palace must be sealed shut from no one - every single one of them. Leave no door unsealed." King Oritel said in a warning tone, and added, "I want every single door to be guarded, who knows who else might sneak into the palace unseen, and I want everyone whose to enter the palace have their identity cards at all times and if not then, deny them from entering. Am I clear?"

"As you wish, your highness," the Captain of Royal Guard said humbly, as giving his king a bow as well as the rest.

The rest of it was a memory of how he teamed up with the Ancestral Witches along with Valtor and brought Domino to its destruction. Even until now, his brother had no idea how Domino had fallen and it was all because of him. He felt proud for what he'd done. He looked at his frozen parents, and Marion's. They've been trapped for more than twenty years in stone, and still his brother had no idea where their parents were at nor Marion had a slight clue either.

He took off the mask from his face. The mask he'd been wearing ever since Domino was destroyed and he'd disappeared ever since then. Maybe, he should visit Oritel and Marion once again...

Meanwhile back on Domino, the Winx girls were all in Daphne's room as Daphne had such a terrifying look across her face. How? Why? Her thoughts were filled with questions as the same as the Winx.

She had an uncle and didn't know about it?

Ever since the visit she had earlier with her father...his sudden look across his face, the agitation held in his eyes. He was probably worried about his brother coming back, but giving his revenge towards his family was just awful. But what kept Daphne bothered by it, was a death in the family that was going to happen. If anything happens to her little sister...she couldn't bear that thought of her little sister die? It wasn't fair. Never fair. Why? Why can't evil just leave them alone?

For the first time, she didn't know what to do or what she and the Winx were going to now. How can they stop him? The fist part of his plan was turning his family to the side of evil. And the first one that turned evil was Bloom, resulting her to become Dark Bloom once again.

Why would he do this to his own family – for what reason?

She looked up at the Winx for a solution, but the Princess of Solaria had asked first, "so Daphne, what are we going to do?" She had a worried look on her face. She was afraid for what was about to come.

The Winx all had a desperate look across the face, wondering what they should do next. This was serious. This guy is worse than Valtor.

"I...I...don't know," Daphne said, turning away a bit ashamed that she didn't know what to do. "I can't believe it!"

The Princess of Andros shared a look with the fairy of nature, and walked up to Daphne, to reassure that everything's going to be okay. "We're with you Daphne, and we're going to help you."

"Also you got to remember, you're not on you're own." The blue haired fairy spoke up.

"Ya, we are the Winx Club and we stick together." The fairy of technology added, trying to bring out the bright side of things.

"We're going to beat him - six against one, he won't stand a chance." Flora smiled.

They shared a big group hug. Daphne saw the looks on each of their faces; they were full of positive energy. They were going to help her face this threat and help her sister to be her old-self again. Bloom was lucky to have such great friends. Each one of them supported each other and now they were supporting her.

As Oritel and Marion were walking through the palace, they could feel that two pairs of eyes were watching them. At the same time, the magic vibe felt very familiar from somewhere. Marion felt the oddity in the air, and decided to ask her husband, "do you feel a strange vibe?" Her green eyes were filled with concerned.

He also felt the same thing, and looked at Marion, "now you mention it, you're right, Marion..." but he was soon cut off by a voice. It sent shivers down their spine.

"Oritel...Marion, is that you?" the man's voice had asked.

They turned around to see a man standing tall and confident of himself. He had no worries on his shoulders by the way he looked, and standing tall without having a fear of not being welcomed once again. Though something about him was off, he looked like he wasn't going to talk to them only; he wanted something else as well.

The sight of him looked familiar as Oritel's face was filled with shocked, which was the same with Marion's.

They were in disbelief by seeing him again, after all those long years. The pain that he'd caused them. Oberon only smirked at them - he knew they were going to react like this. He just knew.

He pressed his lips together, "long time no see, huh? You two look the same, considering all you've been through," he chuckled evilly, and his eyes narrowed, "so how was Obsidian?"

He could see that Oritel was muttering a few cursed words as they way it showed on his face - he wasn't happy at all to see him. As for Marion, she had a hard look on her face, as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Or more importantly, how are your daughters doing?" He asked, grinning at them.

Oritel gave his brother a dark look for asking that question.

"They're doing just fine," Marion, pressed her lips together, her voice sounded icy cold.

"Fine! Oh are they? I want to see them for myself." He gave them a crocked smile.

"No!" Marion said, firmly; she would never allow him to be near her girls.

Oritel looked at his brother, who knew that they would answer that in particular, Marion.

"You've done enough damage to this family, so stay away from us," Oritel said flatly.

Oritel watched as Oberon was playing with his magic, "at least one of us is different. By the way, I'm not sure too sure if you wanted to know something, like say for instance..." he paused, as he took from his finger his favorite - the rare silver dragon ring, and was simply looking at it, and looked back at his brother, "...Mom and Dad."

That instantly froze Oritel's blood from the inside, as his brown eyes widen for what his brother had said. Then his expression hardens as he gazed at his brother with hatred for what he'd done to their parents and Marion's.

Oberon glanced in Marion's direction, "or...how about your parents, Marion."

She looked at him with such a cold look that no one had ever seen in his or her life, even Oritel, he seemed to be a bit afraid of her look. She pressured her lips together, "where the hell are they?"

Oberon knew if they wanted answers; he wanted something in return.

"First, I want to see my nieces," he demanded oyf them, as they walked right into his trap.

But then the three of them heard footsteps walking towards their directions. As a smile widen on Oberon's face, as he grinned towards Oritel and Marion. The group had approached them, revealing the Winx and Daphne, excluding Bloom - she wasn't with them.

"Oh," Oberon grinning, though he knew Bloom wasn't with them, and rest are probably her and Daphne's friends.

As Daphne and Winx were near the King and Queen of Domino, they glanced at the man who having a quick chat with Oritel and Marion. Daphne looked at her parents for explanation, "who is he?"

Oberon had an evil smile, and walked up to Daphne, "it seems to me your parents never explained to you that I'm your uncle Oberon."

Daphne's hazel eyes widen in realization for this man was her uncle as the rest of the Winx were stunned at the fact that this man was Daphne and Bloom's uncle. He had black hair, and sharp blue eyes, and light skin color tone. He was dressed causally, a dark blue button up shirt and dark jeans. His hair was shoulder length.

"And now ladies, if you don't mind, I have some business to talk to my family in private," he told the Winx girls. Daphne gave them a reassurance look that everything's going to be okay. "Why don't you girls go to Alfea and I'll catch up later, okay?"

"Sure..." Stella said nervously, and looked at the rest of the girls, "...lets go."

"See you later," Flora whispered to Daphne as she waved back to them as they left them alone.

"Ah, now where was I..." Oberon said smiling, his smile was starting to creep Daphne out, "...where's Bloom?"

Bloom was walking down the halls of the palace; she was bit board since she was cooped up in her room. She wanted some fresh air. She remembered she was attacking her sister, because of Dark Bloom and she needed to find Daphne and apologize back to her. As she was walking, she spotted her parents, Daphne, and an unfamiliar man along with them.

As she walked closer to her parents, and sister, Daphne asked her, "how do you feel?"

"Better, but I wanted to apologize for what I did earlier." Bloom admitted to her older sister who felt guilty the entire time, and hugged her.

"I know it wasn't your fault." Daphne smiled. Bloom glanced at the man, and wondered who was he? "I don't want be rude, but who are you?" She asked him.

That smile on his face reminded Bloom of Diaspro's fake smiles and she hated that fake smile. "I'm your uncle, Oberon."

She was speechless. She didn't know that she had an uncle; does she have an aunt as well? She could felt a bit awkward under the gaze of her uncle and parents. "Let me guess, you don't know that you had an uncle."

Bloom felt her cheeks turned red. "Uh...I'm sorry if I didn't know that."

Bloom felt a hand placed on her shoulders. She looked up to see her mother had placed a hand on hers and Daphne's.

"Why don't we all have a talk?" He grinned.

Bloom felt something was off about him and was acting all strange and so was her parents.

"Now lets head to your office, shall we, little brother." He told Oritel.

Bloom and Daphne were in surprise that he was their father's brother. "He is Dad's brother?" Bloom asked her sister who nodded. "I think so."

In Oritel's private office….

Oritel and Marion were sitting across from Oberon as Daphne and Bloom were near their parents.

"What business do we have with you brother?" Oritel asked, Daphne and Bloom were quite surprised by how their father's reaction towards his older bother was - his voice was cold and bit distance. It seemed to them that they never gotten along.

The smile on his face was just plain scary, and Bloom had a feeling this wasn't going to be a pleasant visit from her uncle. Bloom noticed that Daphne was holding such a thick book in her hand. What was that book? Why was she holding it? She'll ask about it later.

"I have lots of things to discuss about and I'm going to tell you everything..."

"Everything? About what?" Marion asked, coldly.

Daphne and Bloom took a notice that their parents don't like their uncle Oberon at all as if he being back had disturbed them.

"Oh, you'll see. First, I'm going to start off, about the day that your lovely parents got married. And also what'd happened to both of your grandparents from both sides," as he continued to smirk at Oritel and Marion.

"Wait, what do you mean our grandparents?" Daphne asked.

Oberon glanced in Daphne's direction, and smirked, "I'd kidnapped them!"

That shocked Bloom and Daphne so much that they were in disbelief - no he couldn't just do that.

"But why?" Bloom asked shocked filled her voice entirely.

"Because I was jealous of your father," he pointed out to Oritel, "he had everything that I didn't. Also, I was in love with your mother..." he had pointed out to Marion as well.

It was awkward quite in the room, as Bloom and Daphne glanced towards their parents for explanations. Marion sighed, "yes it's true that he did love me, but I was never in love with him; I was in love with you father."

"And your father had everything that I'd dreamed off. Even during his years at Red-Fountain, every teacher use to compliment him for his skills in combat, while I on the other hand, had practiced for years, but your father was a natural learner - he'd learned everything quickly with new skills of his own.

Your grandparents were very proud of him, they'd always praise him for everything he's done, and not even once they'd praise me. It's always been Oritel this or Oritel that, and why can't I be like my brother. Eh?" Oberon yelled, as his face was turning red.

"...But I've done more than just kidnapping your grandparents, I was the one who told the Ancestral Witches about everything even Valtor..." he was cut off by his angry brother, "how dare you do such a thing! You're the one who'd damaged this family! You're a traitor! You're not my brother!"

Marion had never seen Oritel this angry before, never in her life. He was fuming with range. She glanced at her brother-in-law, how dare he do such a thing? He's pure evil. She glanced at her daughters - whom were both in tears as if they couldn't believe that their uncle would do such an evil act. A terrible evil act.

"And you know what, I was the one who lead Valtor through those secret passages to get to your beloved wife that night he'd tried to murder Marion while she was pregnant with Bloom!"

"What?!" The whole family said - excluding Oberon of course - who were very shocked about it?

Oritel's brown eyes widen at his brother for what he'd just said now. "YOU...BASTARD! HOW DARE YOU SINK TO THAT LEVEL OF GETTING MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER KILLED LIKE THAT?!"

Daphne looked at Bloom who was in tears; she didn't even know about it - about that her mother while being pregnant with her was almost murdered by Valtor. Daphne grabbed her sister's hand and squeezed it to comfort her. Daphne looked at her mother who was in tears also as she looked at her two daughters.

"Also you should see mother and father..." he grinned to his brother playfully, enjoying seeing his brother's mad face.

"You're manipulative," Oritel said in anger, "what did you exactly do to mother and father?"

His smile widen even further, "lets just say they're in stone and bones if you know what I mean..." he laughed.

"How could you do that to your...I mean our own parents? How heartless are you?!" Oritel boomed at his older brother.

"Pretty much heartless as a cold stone," his words sounded so venom, like a rattlesnake's poison.

"Where the hell are they?" Marion asked in anger.

He gave a look to Marion and said, "why should I tell you? And besides, I really did enjoy our lovely conversation that we had. I'm glad that I could fill you on everything that just happened."

He watched as their face expression changed from sad to anger to disbelief. They couldn't believe that he was the one who was behind all this. Oberon looked at his niece, Bloom, and smiled to her said, "I have a little something for you, Bloom," as he blew some kind of fairy dust to her.

"Hey!" Bloom snapped at him for doing that, then she felt something bad happening to her body as if she was changing from that dust that he blew at her. Oritel, Marion, and Daphne watched in horror as Bloom was changing (flicking back and forth) between her fairy state and normal form as the dark energy surrounded her. She was back in her Dark Bloom form state of an Enchantix fairy.

"So it was you the entire time who was doing this!" Marion hissed at Oberon as she realized that he was the one who was manipulating her daughter to become Dark Bloom.

A smile was placed on his face. "Of course," he laughed.

He slowly took his hidden mask that he'd kept with him. He knew that Daphne knew about it, since she and her friends had gone through Bloom's memories.

"Now," he said, glancing at the mask and back at his family, "does this seem familiar too you?"

Daphne immediately gasped. That mask, it was the same mask of the man who'd kidnapped her sister five years ago and was manipulating her. He was the one who kidnapped her!

She felt angry, and somehow played. Anger boiled through her, the man who was her uncle was the same man…who was destroying everything. He was destroying their lives.

Daphne snapped out of her thoughts as Oberon called out to Dark Bloom to go to him. She watched as her little sister walked up to her uncle with a devious smile on her face. As the moment her uncle had laid his hand on her little sister's shoulder, Oritel had snapped at him to take his damn hands off of his daughter.

Daphne watched as her father walked closer to his brother with his sword in his hand, his face had showed pure range. "Give me back my daughter this instance!"

"Why should I? I warned you from before that you would regret everything you have?" He gave off a smirk look towards Oritel.

Marion kept her gaze focused on Bloom; maybe she could say something to her daughter that would return her back to normal. She hoped it would. She approached her younger daughter hoping that she would at least listen to her.

She placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder, looking straight into her gold eyes; Marion hoped that somewhere deep in Bloom was her sweet little girl that she loves. "Bloom, listen to me, you've got to snap out of it. Don't let him get you, Bloom – you're stronger than his magic. You have to remember one important thing: you're always loved no matter what."

Marion took her daughter's hands in hers – hoping she would snap out of it.

"You'd think that's going to work. It's pathetic!" Oberon laughed, knowing that he was wining and they were losing everything and his brother was paying the price for it.

"She's not a monster like you!" Daphne snapped, defending her little sister, "…if anything, she had fixed this family! She has a good heart!"

Dark Bloom only grinned at Marion playfully thinking that the good Bloom would come back to her. She was wrong; she will never come back ever! How pitiful of this woman to think that her daughter would come back?

"Your precious little daughter is gone, Marion," Dark Bloom mimicked, laughing sarcastically, and added, "I'd say she lost her way, while I was eating at her humanity."

"I will find a way to bring back my daughter, Dark Bloom." Marion said determinedly.

Dark Bloom gave off a laugh, "but I am your daughter, well, the dark version of her though!"

"Never fight me, Oritel! I don't want to see you lose…" he gave a smug look towards his brother as he prepared himself.

"I won't lose!" Oritel gave off a small smile towards his older brother.

"I wouldn't make a fool out of myself."

Though, Oberon wasn't going to fight his brother directly, but instead he wanted to lure his brother into a trap. He had all this set up in his mind. As Oritel drew out his sword, his brother prepared his magic, though he wasn't focusing on his brother. He was focusing on Daphne as he kept glancing at her.

Oritel launched out towards his brother…Oberon immediately tossed his powerful spell at Daphne, sending her flying back to wall, landing on the floor unconsciously.

"DAPHNE!" Marion cried out as she watched her oldest daughter fall down to her feet unconsciously. Oritel turned around to see his eldest daughter on the floor unconsciously, his brown eyes widen…he realized that Oberon was playing with him. He wasn't focused on him at all – he was focused on his daughter.

Oberon was too fast, that he grabbed Marion's arm and was hushed by putting his hand on her mouth. His revenge was becoming a reality. A victory smile was spread across his face. He'd asked Dark Bloom to teleport them to his hideout. As he disappeared, Oritel turned around to see his wife and daughter were gone.

"Oberon!" He yelled loudly. He had played them, and that made Oritel angry; he didn't like anyone to play with him like that.

He looked down at his daughter; it pained him to see her like that. Oberon was destroying his family. First, Bloom and now Daphne and kidnapping of his wife…was just pure evil. He will get his hands on him and this time with no mercy.

He laid his sword aside; he noticed she had a book in her hand. He tried to shake his daughter on her shoulders in order to wake her up, but to no due, she wasn't waking up. "Daphne, wake up. Don't scare me like this," he pleaded to her to wake up.

As the book opened, it revealed to Oritel about what was going on. The book was revealing to him that a prophecy about a man that would one day return, and to turn his family to the side evil and from there seek out destruction and pain, and rule over the dead and living. But six brave fairies whose heart is pure of light would encounter him face-to-face in a deadly game –one will live and one would die in the bravery of protecting her loved ones….

He had an unsettling look across on his face. One will live and another would die. It made him think of his daughters. He couldn't bear to lose either of his daughters again. He already missed eighteen years of Bloom's life and that was a big chunk of it and yet she kidnapped for another five more years…it was about twenty-three years of her life that he'd completely missed and there were irreparable holes in his heart. And Daphne, he'd missed another eighteen years of her life as well. He couldn't lose them again, not after everything that happened to him and Marion.

After when he and Marion were released from Obsidian and he saw Daphne as a ghost and some sharp pain had hit at the core of his heart and soul. He remembered he saw Bloom breaking the awful cruse that Daphne was cursed by the Ancestral Witches years ago and brought her back to life. How happy he and Marion felt that day! He had two blessed daughters who loved one another and saved each other and saved them. Truly it was a blessing, but now, his brother was breaking his family to pieces once again.

Oritel hadn't realized that he was sobbing out of pain that he held for the past twenty-three years. A faint voice had called out to his attention, "daddy?"

He looked down to see his daughter who was barley awake. "Daphne!" he cried, in joy for seeing his daughter awake. He held Daphne in his arms, "what happened?" she asked, but as she turned around to glance in the room, her uncle was gone and so was her mother and sister. Her eyes widen and looked at her father, "dad, where's Mom and Bloom?"

He looked at her with a sorrowful look across his face, "your uncle had took them with him."

"What? We have to go after him?" Daphne said in a high-pitched voice, as she was worried about her mother and little sister. Who knows what he was going to do with them? She had a horrified look across her face.

"We will, Daphne. You need some rest now." Oritel said, as he was taking his daughter to her bedroom to rest. Daphne panicked about the book since she didn't feel it was with her.

"The book?" she said, worriedly.

"Don't worry about it, Daphne," he gave her a reassuring smile, and added, "we will bring back your mother and sister."

Next Chapter Called: A Secret Revealed

1) This chapter is one long chapter that I've divided into two chapters. I wasn't even planning to make this chapter into a long one, but it was necessary.

2) The next chapter, Daphne would tell the Winx about a family secret that she'd learn from her uncle that had given them a surprise visit.

3) More secrets would be revealed in the next chapter from Oberon side, as he is Aragon that same evil wizard who was threatening Magix earlier. The Winx and Daphne would talk to Miss. Faragonda.

4) Oritel was surprised to learn that everything that had happened in the past was because of his evil brother. Also, now he learned from the book that one of his daughters might die, and he will protect them at all costs. What else would be revealed? What is his brother's next intention to do? What was going to happen?

~Hoped you enjoy this chapter! See you till next update XD….
