Bloom pressed herself as close to the bacheca as she possibly could. Her breathing was heavy, she had to slow it down, and fast.
They did this every year.
Each anno selecting a new target.
And they were gonna do it again this anno too.
And this year. This anno it was Bloom’s turn. Frankly she didn’t know what kind of Natale tradition this was. Nor did she know how it came to be.
“Come on Bloom, te can’t hide forever.” Icy called.
She underestimated Bloom. She could hide for hours and hours. She’d hide all Natale eve if she had to.
“I don’t get it.” Stormy pondered. “She was here a secondo ago.”
“Don’t worry ladies, we’ll find her.” Icy declared.
Bloom made her way around the corner and slipped down the hall.
“I could have sworn she was in here too.” Bloom heard Darcy mutter. Her voice was now distant.
Bloom gave a sigh of relief, before crashing into Stella.
“Stella…don’t te dare!” Bloom shouted.
“Hey everyone look who I caught!” Stella announced.
“Why!?” Bloom asked with a laugh. “You’re such a traitor.”
“What can I say, we can’t let a good tradition die.” Stella giggled.
“Sure we can.” Bloom insisted.
“Funny.” Icy smirked. “Last anno this was ‘the best Natale game ever’, what changed?”
“The fact that I’m going to be tied to the tree, not Riven.” Bloom replied.
“You picked the red and silver ornament dear.” Flora pointed out. “Fair is fair.”
“How did this even start?” Bloom asked.
“Go down without a fight and I might just tell you.” Icy replied. “I was there when the tradition was first made.”
Bloom sighed. “Alright, fine. I’m probably going to get captured again anyways, may as well get a story out of it.”
“That’s the spirit!” Tecna called.
Musa led her to the Natale tree, pulled out a strand of lights and proceeded to tie her to the tree. Right after Layla add a touch of tinsel and a few ornaments to her hair.
“I look ridiculous.” Bloom muttered.
“You got that right!” Stormy agreed.
“My story?” Bloom glanced at Icy.
“A while back, a few years before te got here, the two headmistresses…and one headmaster…were in this sort of competition. te know the usual, trying to see which school was the best. They had various contests; school and albero decorating, gingerbread baking, so on. Needless to say it was one of those silly three way ties. So Griffin tied the other two to their trees, decorated them, and declared her victory. The anno after Faragonda got her hands on one of Griffin’s best professors.” Icy paused. “After that it became a school wide thing, one of the Alfea students decided to add the whole ‘whoever picks the special ornament gets to be the target’ thing. Personally I enjoyed the free for alls.”
“Is that really what happened?” Bloom asked as Flora hung a little mistletoe on her ear.
“You look precious!” Flora clapped her hands together.
“Yes, that’s really what happened.” Griselda frowned. “That anno was the start of the most horrendous Natale tradition ever.”
“She’s just amaro because we got her on the third year.” Saladin whispered to Bloom.
“Who was the first student to get tied to the tree?” Bloom asked.
Darcy pointed at Icy.
The witch frowned. “Darcy was the first to step under the mistletoe. Stormy wasn’t too far behind.”
“We don’t talk about that!” Stormy shouted.
“I miss when everyone got excited for the presents…not this.” Griselda grumbled.
“Bitter.” Saladin muttered in a sing song voice.

If the Winx will die Corpse party style it will be like this
Bloom will be burned alive tied to a pole due to malevolent spirits.....
Half of Stella's face will be skinned and with a mirror shard stuck in her neck ...
Flora will be trapped inside a cespuglio, bush squishing her but she got out ..
But as she was going to run away she gets disemboweled da a falling branch ...
Aisha will drown in a pool, but when the Winx drained the pool before she could drown...
Instead she gets stuck in a drainage splitting her body apart....
Musa's body will be shredded into pieces da Pianoforte wire da Tecna when she pulled a lever thinking it would cause the light to go on......
Tecna devastated da Musa's death....accidentally electrocutes herself...
Making her conscious but can't move...
A half-dead person comes along sees Tecna thinking she's dead...cannibalizes on here...
While Tecna feeling all pain as the almost zombie-like fairy eats her alive..
