Hey everyone! I know a lot of people have been asking for a sequel for the story "the life they took" and I´ve been trying to work on it, but! I´ve really wanted to edit that story for a while now. There are a lot of things I would´ve wanted to write more about, or write differently but because some of the chapters were written during short breaks, it was kind of rushed. So I wanted to try and rewrite the story, more or less. You may hate it, or like it lol. Give me your opinions!

This story has the same main idea, but starting from season one. Also, not even Faragonda knows who Bloom really is, like it is originally portrayed. R&R.

Synopsis: Bloom is a normal, goodhearted sixteen year old who leads a normal life, with her loving parents on Earth. Until she makes a discovery that changes her life completely. Soon she arrives at Alfea, ready to begin a new life and explore her powers. But when her presence in the magical dimension triggers all sorts of strange events, including the awakening of the King and Queen of Domino, who now search desperately for their daughter, Diaspro will stop at nothing to steal a life that wasn't meant for her. Bloom will learn the true meaning of vengeance and deceit, the hard way.

Who took My Life?

Prologue.

She ran.

Daphne ran and ran. Still hearing the chants and shouts of her people attempting to defend themselves and the kingdom. Her parents, the King and Queen, were away, in the heart of the battle. And they had trusted her with a very important mission. Keeping her little sister safe.

Up until now, she had been a hard working student, with wonderful parents who were members of an important group of warriors who defended the entire magic dimension. Daphne admired them greatly, not only for their bravery and skills in battle but for what fair rulers they were. Daphne was a student at Domino Regal Academy. She had wanted to attend Alfea College initially, but her training was far more intense considering that she wouldn't just become a guardian fairy but a Nymph. And she wanted to become the best. She and her closest friend, Politea, both did. She also had etiquette classes four times a week, something all royals were required to have. Which was another reason why entering a school in another realm would be difficult. Her parents felt strongly about her not missing her private classes. Therefore, she was to remain on Domino.

Daphne also loved to read. She read books about all things in general, but her favorite topic was history. Probably because her father was always talking to her about important movements lead by different warriors and fairies throughout time. By the end of her previous semester, Daphne had read a great number of magical history books that the Academy´s library had to offer.

All in all, their lives were serene and enjoyable, but it all became so much better on the day that her parents gave her the news. Marion was pregnant.

Oritel was overjoyed. Daphne knew her parents had been considering the possibility of having another child for quite some time. They spent the next couple of months buying tiny clothes and decorating a new room. They came up with a dozen different female names when they found out it would be a girl, although Marion said she had already suspected so. In a literal sense, this meant the welcoming of a new member in their small family. But symbolically, the universe´s main power source now had a new guardian. This new baby would arrive with great significance.

Flashback

They decided to eat out in the gardens and enjoy the pleasantly warm weather.

"Would you like another serving, sweetheart?" Marion asked. Daphne smiled politely with her cheeks still stuffed.

"No thank you, mom. If I eat any more, I won't fit inside the palace", she said jokingly, to which her parents laughed.

"We´ll make another one just for you" Oritel said, chuckling. Daphne laughed along with her father, not noticing her mother´s sudden scowl.

Marion pushed her chair away from the table suddenly and held her womb. Oritel stood up abruptly,

"Honey, what´s wrong?" he asked, startled. He placed his hand gently over her stomach as well.

"Mom?"

"I-I think you´ve angered the baby" she replied, between giggles.

"Either that, or she also wants a palace for herself" she said, no longer containing her laughter.

"She´s going to be a strong one", Oritel chuckled with one hand still over his wife´s stomach, he stroked Marion´s hair with the other. Daphne pressed her ear against it and immediately felt a gentle thud against her face.

"Very well then, our two princesses will each have a palace of their own" Oritel promised.

"That´d be awesome dad!"

"One rule only. No boys allowed" Oritel said in a stern voice,

"I should have seen that coming", she said, throwing her arms around her dad´s neck and hugging him tightly.

End of flashback

A couple of weeks after the baby´s birth, a ceremony was held amongst the citizens of Domino and the royal family, including her grandparents, her aunt and a few cousins. During the special service Bloom was presented with the dragon flame by Marion, who until then had been its chosen guardian. Afterwards, they held a special dinner with the family and a few of her parent's friends, Faragonda, Griffin, Saladin, and Hagen. Daphne remembered having too much to eat that night. All Bloom had was a two-ounce bottle of milk.

Baby Bloom was a year old now. She cried a lot like most babies, keeping her parents awake at night. Her favorite meal for the time being was apple sauce and sweet corn. And she absolutely adored Daphne. They could play together for hours, until her mother took Bloom away for her nap time. Most people said that Daphne had taken after her father, with a blondish shade of hair and green eyes. But her little sister´s innocent blue eyes and the small amount of bright red hair on her head resembled that of her mother´s.

Daphne reached Bloom´s bedroom. She turned the knob and stepped inside quietly, careful not to startle her.

There, in a small crib, she lied completely carefree, playing with a rattle and kicking her feet energetically.

"Hey there, little sister", Daphne said sweetly. Bloom offered a nearly toothless smile.

Daphne picked her up and held her closely, humming Marion´s lullaby. Bloom lied her head against Daphne´s shoulder.

As she stopped singing, she realized her sister had effectively fallen asleep. A few tears escaped her eyes just as she heard the palace doors being kicked down.

"You know how much I love you, don't you baby sis?" she whispered, smiling through her tears. She turned her head slightly and kissed Bloom´s tiny hand, which she had placed over Daphne´s cheek.

"Stop hiding and come out where ever you are!" she heard a woman demand. Daphne took a thick blanket and covered her sister with it, making sure she´d stay warm.

"I know you don't understand any of what's happening now", she whispered as she cradled the baby and placed a necklace with a blue medallion around her neck.

"But soon, I hope, you´ll know that everything I´ve done was only meant to protect you. I´m sending you to a place where harm will not reach you. This isn't goodbye, baby sister. It´s only farewell, until mom and dad come back and Domino is once again safe for your return",

Daphne made sure the medallion was above the blanket and visible. She wanted to make sure that it would be the first thing that, whoever found her sister, saw. She wanted them to know that this child belonged to a family that loved her very much. As soon as the witches and their son were defeated, they would restore the realm and find Bloom. Daphne just had to relocate her to a place where she would be safe in the meantime. Where the dragon flame would not fall into the wrong hands. It was only temporary.

Suddenly, the door to the bedroom was attacked in an attempt to have it open. There wouldn't be enough time to write a note.

Daphne hugged Bloom closely before placing a kiss on her forehead.

"Have a safe trip Bloom", she cried, and opened a portal with a swift movement of her hand.

"Abrerti entrada"

She placed the baby through the portal, and silently, watched it close.

Once she was gone, the tears arrived with more force than before. She hadn't really noticed, but subconsciously, Daphne had been holding back. Maybe in an attempt to keep Bloom calm? Perhaps she didn't want the baby to sense any negative energy on her part? Be as it may, she couldn't hold back any longer. Not only was her little sister gone, but she also didn't have news from her parents yet and the ancestral witches were now here. Daphne had prepared for such an event all her life. She recently acquired and mastered her sirenix powers. She was ready.

But a part of her was still scared. Why wasn't the company back yet? Was Valtor so strong that even the nine warriors that made up the company wasn't enough? So many questions. And no time at all.

She took one deep breath as the door was finally destroyed, revealing three hideous, sinister witches.

"I told you she was here", Belladonna told her two sisters smirking.

"Where are my parents?!" she demanded.

"Now, now princess! Is that any way to receive your guests? I thought Domino was supposed to be friendly" she mocked.

"Not to monsters like you it´s not! Daphne! Nymph of Sirenix!" she yelled with all her might, effectively transforming.

"Is that all you´ve got? It´s pitiful!"

"Now, now sister…let's see what she can do…" another one said, sounding intrigued.

Daphne pushed her hands outward, and put everything she had into the attack, thinking about her people, her parents, and the baby…

The attack was launched.

And she was gone.

Fifteen years later….

Mike took his coat off and threw it over his arm as he approached the house. Another tough day at work. But it was all worth it. He chose to become a firefighter when he was only seventeen. His parents spoke to him of the risks his job would represent. But he wouldn't budge. His dream job included helping people, and saving those in need. To be a silent hero in his community. His parents couldn't fully comprehend, but eventually, they accepted.

"Dad, your home!" he heard a voice call. Mike smiled at his beautiful daughter who skipped over and gave him a hug. He kissed the top of her head.

"How was your day?" she asked.

"Oh just a couple of emergencies, honey. But fortunately no one was hurt" he responded.

"That´s great to hear, dad. By the way, there´s something I´ve been meaning to talk to you about" she said as they took a seat on the couch.

"Mmm?"

"Well, ya´ know… my sixteenth birthday´s coming up"

"Good to know" Mike said smirking.

"Dad!" she gaped. He laughed wholeheartedly.

"I know honey, I know, I´m already on it", he said to her.

"I know you are dad but, well I was wondering if..."

"If?"

"If there´s any chance that I´ll be getting a…a motorbike?" she asked sheepishly. Bloom wanted one more than anything! She knew her parents gave her everything they could, although there weren't many luxuries they could afford. But she knew a motorbike wasn't too expensive and besides, she needed some adventure. Something new and exciting to do.

"A motorbike, huh?" he said, looking slightly uncomfortable. Little did Bloom know that it had nothing to do with the price. But rather his terror.

"Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

"Come on, I'm nearly sixteen. I´ll wear a helmet, I promise!"

"I….I don't know Bloom, I´m not entirely convinced" he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Dad please! I´ll do chores every day for a year!" Bloom pleaded. Mike chuckled.

"A year, you say?" she nodded.

"I promise to give it some thought" he said. Bloom sighed and stood up.

"Alright, I think I´ll go for a bike ride in the meantime", she said giving him a quick hug and heading for the door.

"See you later, dad",

"Alright honey, stay close by", he called before she shut the door.

He sighed and walked into the kitchen, where he knew his wife was waiting for him. He took a seat by the table.

"That wasn't so bad, was it?" she said, smirking. Mike rolled his eyes.

"I don't understand what it is with her! Why a motorbike? Doesn't she realize how dangerous it is? And besides, she´s a girl. Why can't she take care of plants and care for nature like you do?" Mike said, slightly frustrated. Vanessa dried her hands and stood behind his chair, rubbing his shoulders.

"Honey, whether we like it or not, Bloom has an adventurous spirit. Taking care of plants isn't enough for her. I know that she enjoys it and she certainly likes spending time with me at the shop but, Bloom needs something more. She´s not like you or me, Mike, and to make matters worse…she´ll be sixteen tomorrow", Vanessa said with a smile.

"Our little girl is growing up" she added.

"Well, she´s still a little girl to me" Mike grumbled. After a moment of silence, Mike continued,

"An adventurous spirit…no kidding. I wonder who she got it from", he mused, more to himself than to his wife. Vanessa moved toward the kitchen window, simply looking out.

"I suppose we´ll never know", she said solemnly.

Bloom rode her bike in no specific direction. Her mind wandered from one part of her life to another. For one, she received a phone call earlier that day.

From her ex, Andy…

They broke up a month ago. They decided to remain good friends. But she still missed him at times. And apparently, Andy missed her too.

Their breakup wasn't at all dramatic. It was just as easy going as how it started. Everything about him was. They began going out last year, during the winter season. Bloom had a huge crush on him. He wasn't the most popular guy in school, he wasn't a nerd or a member of a sports team. Andy was simple and sweet. He loved playing the guitar and writing his own lyrics. He also enjoyed reading. Which was one of the things that brought them together.

Bloom loved reading ever since she could remember. But her personal favorite were science fiction, legends and mythical creatures. She could read about such topics for hours, losing herself completely in what felt like another world. Her parents always said those kinds of things weren't real. But Andy didn't seem to mind. In fact he understood her fascination. According to him, her passion for certain things only motivated him to be more passionate about what he liked to do. It was a tranquil relationship to say the least. While Mitzy and all the other popular and rich people lead the drama in school, she and Andy were on the sidelines. Like so many others who couldn't care less about whether or not Mitzy and her crew wore matching, stylish sweaters to class, or what new boy they were after.

But alas, although there was chemistry between the two, they seemed to see each other more as best friends rather than lovers. So they decided to stay as just that. Friends. Very close friends. So it was no surprise when Andy walked up to her in school and gave Bloom her first birthday gift, a day early.

It was the new book from her favorite author, with her autograph on the first page.

On some nights, they still sat on the front steps of her house to talk and watch the stars. They still exchanged text messages and the occasional phone call.

The park came into view and Bloom pulled her bicycle to a stop and perched it near a tree. She lied down on the fresh grass, looking up at the sky. Tomorrow, she would be sixteen. It wasn't such a big number but she felt ready for something new. For some adventure.

Who knew, maybe this would be the year that would bring everything she yearned for. She hoped.
