Cordella and the Fire Fairies:
A/N: A totally original idea:) If you feel like reviewing and making my day, go ahead, but you don't have to:) I just don't want to upload anything else until I know that someone's actually reading and it's not (virtually) collecting dust. I know that not a lot of people check out misc. stuff, but if you ARE reading, then let me know!
Prologue
"And that's how it's done. See Cordella? There was never anything to worry about." Amethyst said matter-of-factly.
I sighed, and tried to relax. But I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. No. Phoebe wouldn't have made it so easy. I knew my sister; she was smarter than that. She wouldn't have had a little code or puzzle; Phoebe was into action. If I knew my sister at all, she would have had a monster or something come after us.
And I think I just jinxed us.
"Amethyst, look out!" Penny yelled, pointing at the huge figure behind Amethyst.
And there he stood. A troll. A huge, huge troll. Easily fifteen feet, if not taller. He was green and dirty and disgusting and -frankly - he smelled bad.
Amethyst's eyes got wide, and she ran out of the way just before the troll dropped a boulder on the exact spot she'd been standing. Ariella gasped, and ran off into the dunes. I wanted to go after her, but I couldn't risk bringing that troll anywhere near her. Ariella might only be nine, but she knew how to take care of herself. I was probably in more danger out here than she was in there.
Despite what you see in the movies, the sudden danger didn't occur in slow motion. Everything seemed to happening at once, it was all a jumbled mess. The troll was trying to kill all three of us at once. Killing three little birds with one really big stone. And that's when it occurred to me.
"Guys! Spread out!" I yelled, praying my sisters would listen to me just once.
"Cordella, are you nuts?" Penny asked, trying to dodge the troll's enormous foot.
"No, really. This thing is really dumb. He's trying to kill us all at once. If we spread out, he'll get confused. Then we strike." I explained quickly, not wanting to waist any time.
"If you say so." Amethyst said, moving ten feet to the left.
Penny moved also, and I backed up a solid five feet.
As I'd hoped, the troll started looking around, trying to figure out why he couldn't get us all at once anymore. He was trying to figure out which one of us to strike down first when I yelled, "Now!"
Amethyst made the sand around the troll shake. He lost balance quickly, and fell to the ground. Then - with perfect timing, I might add - Ariella ran back to us from the dunes, and moved a ton of water from the ocean onto the troll. Since it wouldn't stay there - due to the fact that there was nothing to really hold it - I froze it to his body.
Relaxing, the four of us continued our journey, leaving a huge, mutated troll frozen to the sand.
Please, let it be a while before he melts.
Please?
And that's that!
