The plan was a relatively simple; once the sun went down they’d pretend to go to bed, hoping to draw the gargoyle out. They wouldn’t actually go to sleep, and when the monster was least expecting it, they’d attack.

Bloom didn't know how that would work since she didn't know if the gargoyle could sense when they were sleeping or not.
Flora caught Bloom’s eye and nodded as the sun disappeared. It was time. Both girls climbed into bed and they both sighed. They now only had to wait.

Soon enough the girls felt the prickle of unease as the air shifted, something entering the dorm room. As the girls had predicted the gargoyle went straight for Bloom and Flora’s room, the only two who hadn’t been affected by nightmares so far.

It was harder than Bloom expected to just lie there completely still while hearing the breathing of the gargoyle as it shuffled closer to them but forced her to stay still, mind racing as she wondered who the monster would go for.
There was a pause, before the sound of it moving away from Bloom, and across the room, right towards Flora. 

The redhead slowly peeked out from under her lashes, as she got her first look at the monster.  

It was one hideous creature.

It was massive, and it appeared to be surprisingly agile, perching on the walls of their room to peer down at Flora’s still form. The gargoyle’s feet were massive, and covered in tough, leathery skin, and ending in hooked claws. Raised spines ran along it’s tail and back, ending in a long head and snout, complete with glowing red eyes and a mouth open to reveal yellow fangs.

Bloom had to hand it to Flora, if that creature was panting down at her, she didn’t know if she’d have been able to keep the same composure. Flora just sat up, smiled a smug smile, and said, “Gotcha,” and green sparkles flew from her hands, instantly transforming into thick vines that wound themselves around the gargoyle’s limbs.

The vines didn't hold it for very long as the gargoyle let out a growl, more disgruntled than anything else and pulled free, scampering across the room and disappearing into the shadows. A thud a second later told them the monster had reappeared in their common room, and Bloom and Flora sprang from their beds and rushed out.

They bursted into the common room just as they heard a shriek from the other side, a reaction, from one of the girls at the size of the monster.

“Dude,” Musa groaned. “It’s huge!”

Bloom could’ve sworn the beast had grown even bigger. “Guys, I think magic just makes it bigger.”

“Great,” Stella bit out. “How are we supposed to defeat it then?”

“We’ve got a bigger problem. I think it’s gonna pounce!”

The gargoyle drew still, crouched low to the ground, as if it were preparing itself to attack. “I think it’s time to transform!”

They all transformed into their fairy forms, wings sprouting from their shoulder blades, plain clothes being replaced with their shiny ensembles. Bloom saw the silvery glint as Stella swiped her sceptre through the air a few times.

“Alright, Beastie, bring it on,” Musa taunted, flying into the air as much as she could in the cramped space of their common room.

Together she and Stella fired at the monster, powerful energy blasts that connected with each of the gargoyle’s leathery shoulders. The girls were on the verge of cheering when the smoke cleared, showing not a single mark on the monster. It shook its head as though it found the whole ordeal mildly inconvenient. The gargoyle headed for the door to the dorm, passing right through the wall and disappearing.
