The Return

Like I said in Book One, W.i.t.c.h. is not mine, but this fanfic is. I hope you enjoy it.
Chapter One
Yan Lin woke up. She felt sore all over. The journey is over, she thought, It's time to get the Guardians, and find the new Oracle. She looked Tibor. He was still sleeping. I guess the trip wore him out. She looked around. I see Heatherfield hasn't changed much, she continued, But wasn't there a school over there?
Yan Lin looked at a long gate. Above the entrance a sign said "Sheffield Institute," but the school that used to be behind it was gone! She noticed that there was a small, white piece of paper on the gate's entrance. "'Due to mold infestations,'" Yan Lin read aloud, "'this Sheffield Institute has been temporarily closed.'"
"What kind of--?" Yan Lin gasped. Her voice didn't sound like it was hers. She ran to Tibor. He was wearing the same clothing, but he looked younger. She woke him and said, "Why do we look like this?"
"I told you we'd undergo some changes." He may have looked younger, but his tone of voice was the same. He smiled. "We have survived the journey. I was sure we would not." He looked around and frowned. "Shouldn't there be a school there?" She showed him the notice."Hmm," he said, beginning to pace back and forth on the sidewalk, "We can find the new Oracle by ourselves." Yan Lin watched him as he paced. "Or," he continued, "we can join with the Guardians and the Keepers, and then look for the new Oracle."
"Let's team up with the Guardians," Yan Lin said, feeling her eyes widen with joy, "I would like to see my granddaughter again."
"She will not know who you are," Tibor warned.
"She'll know," Yan Lin said, nodding her head, "She'll know." With that they started to walk to Hay Lin's house. "Wait!" she cried. "We need new clothes. We have to blend in."
They went to a department store. They bought some clothes that looked like what everyone else was wearing. I never thought I'd fit in this, Yan Lin said, admiring herself in the mirror, Ever! Then they went on to Hay Lin's house.
When they got there they were in for a shock. Not only was there no one there, but someone had broken in and robbed the place! The window in the door was broken. There were pots and pans scattered all over the kitchen. Tables were overturned, food everywhere, it looked like a tsunami had come in and completely devastated the place!
Yan Lin didn't bother calling out to Hay Lin. She's a smart girl, she told herself, She probably left to Irma's house.
They went there. It looked the same. Place, by place, by place they looked for the Guardians, but for naught. The homes were all vacant and devastated.
Where could they be? Yan Lin thought. She sat on the sidewalk and cried. Tibor, though feeling sorry for her, only stood by. "We must find the Oracle," he finally said, "Maybe he can tell us where they are." Yan Lin looked up at him. How could he be so cruel! How could he just worry about his duties when her granddaughter was missing?
"You go find him," she spat, "I'll find the Guardians." Tibor started to walk away, but stopped. He walked back to her, placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "I did ask you what to do first. We will find the Guardians." Then they both started to walk down the sidewalk.
