Summary: After a tragic event in Will Vandom's life she is more or less forced out on the street where she begins a new life and despite not wanting anything more to do with the people of her past she still becomes a guardian, just not one of Candracar's.
Warnings: This story will have lesbian characters in it, plenty of mature themes such as rape and abuse, and plenty of changes to the universes the characters come from. If you can't handle this then be forewarned, if you don't mind and just want what will hopefully be a good story then please enjoy.
Wow, this was one pitiful and sucky summer. We had to move, our computer was damaged during said move, and I had to get a job just to get a new one and helped catch the bills up. My dad has a new job now though and since there is now school once again, I no longer will be working. The only really good thing about going to work at the end was I met my new boyfriend and he's awesome!
Anyways, I am, or was, W. Vandom. Sometime while I was offline someone hacked my email and my accounts for several things I signed up for through my email and changed my passwords. Soooo, here I am with a new account and while I was saving for my new computer I wrote a lot in my notebooks (paper and pencil people) and I have most of this story finished and just need typed up. Currently I now have almost six chapters typed up and my boyfriend is looking them over and I will post them as he finished and gives them back.
It is taking time because I have a lot on my plate right now to type eveything up since as I do I come across stuff I don't like exactly how it is and I end up changing it, hopefully for the better. I'm trying to decide what stories to concentrate on first, this one being the first since it was my first original fanfiction. My boyfriend wants me to write two different stories about Naruto and I may work on those between the other stuff so I can do something nice for him. I also want to work on some of the great ideas and stuff that XV-Dragon gave me and some of the stuff that the original Wilhelmina Vandom told me I could use awhile ago. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the rewrite of Guardian's homecoming, see you.
One last note, I have to keep up very, VERY good grades in school this year or no boyfriend. So on this note, depending how much I have to do, some updates may be slow while others fast when I finish posting everything I already have typed up. So please be patient.
The night was growing later than Will would have liked as she stood at the large bay window in her boyfriend's apartment, hugging herself tightly as another bright flash of light lit up the darkened sky followed by the large crack of thunder. She could see the shadowy forms of the trees blowing wildly in the near forty mile an hour winds that was threatening to snap the smaller trees in half. The torrent of rain was so thick it almost seemed as if full sheets of water was pelting the landscape, though it almost seemed as if it was going sideways. This storm was one of the fiercest the young girl had ever seen before in her life and she couldn't help being slightly afraid despite all the power she had. In fact, a part of her was wondering if this was a prelude of something to come as in some ways it almost didn't seem natural with how strong it was, but she knew she was just being paranoid as there were storms worse than this all the time all over the world.
It was getting to be an hour past her curfew which meant Susan was going to pissed and the way her mom had been acting lately, Will doubted she would be given much of a chance to explain about everything. She wanted to call home, but the power had went out soon after the storm began which meant the phone was now useless despite her power as it would look weird to be getting a call from a digital phone that required electric to power not only the modem, but the cordless phone as well. Her own mobile phone was missing as well, she wasn't sure when she could have lost it and Matt swore he hadn't seen the small device and he had left his at his friends after their band rehearsal.
Despite all of this though, none of it was the main source of the girl's current uneasiness. Lately her relationship with Matt had been straining due to his changing attitude that she wanted to blame on his alter-ego which she knew couldn't be it since it was no longer powered by Nerissa, but the heart of earth instead. It was still easier to want to blame something other than what she knew was the cause, as she hated to know that the simplest explanation was the real cause. It was plain and simple, she knew deep down that the boy's hormones were just going into overdrive and that in turn was turning him into an asshole. He was growing more and more ill tempered as he pressured Will into having sex, something she wasn't ready for and the more he pressed the more she wondered if he cared for her or her body.
It was a source of pain for the redhead during a time she really didn't really need anymore as her home life was going to hell in a hand basket and the flames were burning the straw that made it. At first, despite the tension between the Marriage between Susan and Dean, a peace had started to descend upon the household as Will finally accepted it wanting her mother to be happy despite not liking the man all that much. It was a few months later when the uneasiness returned with a vengeance when Susan started jumping Will for every little slight, imagined or real. The rift between mother and daughter that was healing was split wide open larger than before making Will begin to wonder if she truly did do something. She went to bed many night the last few weeks crying, wondering why her mother seemed to hate her so much and if it would be better if Will just left. Maybe find a home on Meridian, possibly even become a guard or something for Elyon.
She really didn't want that either though as she was worried about the other girls lately, especially Cornelia. Something was going on with their powers and they couldn't get an explanation as they seemed to be locked out of Candracar for some reason. At first their powers just seemed to weaken, but then they started to disappear and reappear at random times making them more and more unreliable. Cornelia was quick to blame Will for it, claming that the redhead must have pissed off the Oracle or something. While the other girls didn't outright say it, Will could see in their eyes that they questioned Will's part in it. It had led to many arguments between them lately. The jewel hanging around her neck was one of the most powerful sources for good in the universe and yet it still seemed to malfunction like stupid phone did on more than one occasion. She idly wondered if the thing was still under warranty.
Letting out a heavy sigh, Will wondered if maybe she could find relief from some of the stress if she just gave in with Matt. It could possibly lift the tension between them some and maybe even repair some of the damage their relationship took. She even wondered if the relief in tension could maybe return the boy she lived instead of the one that currently held her boyfriend's place. Perhaps he would become caring and loving like he once was if they became intimate and his fits of anger would finally stop once and for all. She couldn't help wondering why she hadn't just given her body to him yet, he already had her heart and mind so the only logical conclusion would be to give him her everything. So why couldn't she? She was in love with him, wasn't she? Of course she didn't want to risk a getting pregnant, she was too young, but there were ways of preventing it wasn't there?
Closing her eyes Will leaned closer to the glass, resting her forehead on the cool smooth surface. She loved Matt, she couldn't deny it, but no matter how much she loved him it didn't excuse the way he treated her lately. She wasn't ready for it, plain and simple, and she refused to do something she wasn't ready for nor would she reward Matt for his hurtful and hateful attitude lately. She loved him, she would have left him already if she didn't, but sleeping with him wouldn't prove it and if he didn't love her enough to give her time then perhaps he was the one who didn't love her.
"Why do you keep watching out that window?" Matt's deep yet cold voice asked from right beside her ear, his warm breath blowing gently along the side of her neck right before his arms wrapped around her and drew her back into his embrace, her back against his muscular chest. She could see their reflection in the window as he locked eyes with her own through their reflection, the look on his face troubling the redhead a little. She was alone in the house with him, his parents and little sister along with his grandfather gone for the weekend. She was beginning to think stopping off at his house was a bad idea but the storm was just starting and she wouldn't had made it anywhere else before the full fury hit.
"I-I need to get home or my mom is going to kill me." Will sighed snuggling back in the boy's arms soaking up the warmth while wishing the love that was once there still remained. He had slowly changed at first, but the last week or two it seemed to get worse much quicker and quicker as the days passed. Her breath caught in her throat as he held her tight with one hand while the other slid upwards to cup one of her breasts, squeezing and kneading it making her squirm fighting back a small moan as her body reacted to Matt's touch. She tried pulling his hand away, tried to squirm free, but his hold has strong as the boy was much stronger physically than she was and she wouldn't resort to the heart as she couldn't bring herself to hurt him since she knew he would stop trying to get any farther as the fight would soon start.
"The rain isn't going to let up anytime soon, Will." Matt said as he acted as if Will wasn't trying to get out of his grasp, his groping becoming more forceful to the point of starting to hurt a little. He leaned over kissing the side of her neck, biting a little as she squirmed even more. "Come on baby, there is so much more we can be doing right now. Stop paying attention to the damned water and pay attention to me."
"Please Matt, let me go." Will pleaded, her voice cracking a bit as she was on the verge of crying. He was starting to scare her even more as she tried desperately to pull away and bat his groping hand away as it started to yank her shirt up. She cried out in shock as she was pushed forward roughly, his hand in her hair as he drove her head into the window smashing it against the thick glass cracking, causing spider webs to form from the point of impact though not completely shattering the window. It still made her vision swim, the dim light of the candles looking like floating wisps for a moment as Matt growled hatefully.
"Damn you, Will, I give you so much and ask for so little in return. Why the hell won't you give me the one thing I want? Is that so much to ask of you?" Matt demanded hatefully, his voice growling causing her to look at the reflection of his face in the window next to were her head was held against the glass. The look in his eyes, the storm raging there, it scared her much more than the storm raging outside.
"Maybe I sh-should go." Will managed to whimper, her vision still a little blurry, her head swimming as she struggled to stay strong against what was happening. She still had the heart if she needed it, though she wished she had a more active power like Hay Lin's that she could have used to blow Matt away from her.
"No, Will, I don't think you should. I think you should stay, you need to be taught a little lesson. You need to know what you are and just who you belong to." Matt said, a vicious leer on his face as he grabbed another handful of hair and dragged her painfully over to the couch in the living room before throwing her down on it.
"Please Matt, stop this. Let me go, please." Will cried, trying to regain her bearings as she groped in the darkness for the heart of Candracar, the jewel hanging around her neck.
"No Will, I don't think I will. You are a little bitch, and you will be treated like one. I can show you great love Will, I really can, but you are forcing me to show you just how cruel I can be." Matt sneered, "No one loves you, your father abandoned you. Your mother has even grown sick of you and your pathetic ways. And your so called friends, only reason they hang around you is because of the heart. Without it, do you honestly think they would stick by you?"
"Y-Your wrong!" Will cried out in anger and hopelessness. He knew what he was saying was what she had been fearing lately, she had been the one who confided in him. And this was how he repaid her trust, by using it against her. She cried out as he backhanded her hard when she tried to stand only to be knocked painfully back down on the couch. "Please just let me go."
"Now bitch, I think it is time you learn who your master is. I can make this the most pleasurable experience in your life or I can make it the most painful." Matt laughed as he started yanking her shirt up and over her head, the heart getting caught up in the folds of clothing to be yanked off and tossed on the floor with the dark red material. Will crossed her arms across her simple white bra that was the only thing hiding her chest from the monster that her boyfriend was turning out to be. The heart maybe have been unreliable lately, having more than once letting her down, but it was her only hope to escape if she could get it and it would actually work.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Will demanded, trying to glare at the boy but the fear in her eyes and the falling tears ruined the effect though she was hoping the forcefulness of her attitude would make him back off. She could feel the large bruise that was forming on the side of her face, the pain she was already in threatening to overwhelm her and she was pleading with whoever was listening that Matt stop this before he caused anymore.
"I'm sick of your coy little attitude, you little bitch. I'm so sick of giving you EVERYTHING while I get NOTHING in return!" Matt snarled as he started yanking at Will's jeans despite her struggles to fight him off. He backhanded her again making her cry out in pain as she was knocked back into the couch leaving Matt to finally yank the girl's jeans off of her. Will felt so scared, so vulnerable with only her socks, bra and panties as she hugged herself crying. She couldn't believe this was happening, much less who was doing it. "I tried being nice, I really did, Will. I can't be nice anymore if you are going to learn, I'm going to have to take it. No more being nice, you little slut. No more will you deny me what belongs to ME!"
The frenzied look in Matt's eyes truly frightened more than anything else had ever scared her in her entire life. Not even when Cedric first captured her just after becoming a guardian had scared her as much as she was right now. She struggled weakly, she was in so much pain, but she couldn't give in. She had to get away, she had to get the heart so she could fold away from here.
She didn't have a chance to even try before Matt started beating her, punch after punch rained down on her prone body between tearing at what little she had left on. She was helpless to stop him, she closed her eyes sobbing as she tried to curl into a ball to protect herself only for the beating to grow worse. When it finally let up, Will was shaking in pain, her body wracked with sobs as she was praying it was finally over. She didn't fight back, she couldn't when she felt him moving her around as she squeezed her eyes shut tighter praying that this was a bad nightmare. The pain making her gasp and cry out sadly told her it wasn't. Matt had finally gotten around to taking what he wanted crushing almost all that was left of Will's spirit. Matt had managed to steal what little bit of innocence Will had left along with what trust she had.
Long after Matt finally finished with her and rolled off the redhead who finally passed out, Will slowly cracked her eyes open. She knew it was really late though couldn't really bring herself to care. She didn't know what to do or what to feel as new tears formed as she fought the pain and looked around her to see Matt passed out on the floor. As quietly and quickly as she could she slipped back into her jeans and shirt, her panties and bra a total loss as she groped in the dark for the heart. Finding it she felt a little bit of relief, though it was like a drop in a vast ocean.
Thankfully after she limped to the front door and managed to get her shoes on, she found that the rain had finally let up. There was a mild drizzle, but it was nothing she couldn't deal with. Even if the storm was still raging on, Will would still have left like she was doing. She was in a lot of pain though making it difficult to move and the waves of dizziness that kept coming and going wasn't helping any. Only thing she could actually find the pain being useful for was it was keeping her mind on making it home and not on the emotional turmoil that was threatening to swallow her whole if she dwelled on it. The pain and anger was the only thing keeping her going for the time being.
It was a little difficult to breath though making her wonder if her ribs were broken, which she wouldn't doubt from the beating Matt gave her. The pain every movement brought to her made it even harder to force herself down the darkened street, the street lights still out showing that the power must have still been out as well. It made seeing where she was going pretty difficult since the storm clouds were still overhead blocking out any moonlight making it pitch black. With everything combined a simple fifteen minute enjoyable trip was turned into forty-five minutes of pain and hell, but Will finally arrived at the tall apartment building that was contained her home.
Upon reaching the elevators Will wanted to cry, a small whimper escaping as she realized they wouldn't work since there was no power going to them. Instead she dragged her feet down the hall to the stairwell and pushed the heavy metal door open to start climbing the steeps upwards praying that she would make it. Every step she managed to climb she was relieved to make as it became one step closer to home, to sanctuary. She would be safe and she knew despite their troubles Susan would hold her, her mother would make everything better. The older woman would take her in a warm, loving embrace and tell her that everything would be okay, that her mother would make sure of it.
After what seemed like an eternity, her body burning in pain, protesting each and every simple movement, Will finally reached her door. She started to reach into her pockets looking for a key only to find it missing making her curse under her breath. Reaching up to the door knob to test it, the redhead almost fell forward as the door was yanked open to have Susan standing there with a candle whose wick was almost burned out casting barely enough light to see the unbridled fury on Susan's face.
"It stopped raining over two hours ago, Will." Susan snapped as she backed up letting the redhead in, ignoring Will's startled half sob calling out to the older woman or either not hearing it. Either way didn't matter as mother continued to berate daughter driving out the last vestiges of hope in Will's slowly dieing soul. "Where the hell were you? It's four in the morning, you couldn't pick up your damn phone and call?"
"But mom..." Will gasped, struggling to not collapse in tears. Her last hope was quickly fleeing before her very eyes. All she wanted was to feel her mother's arms around her, comforting her. Why did this have to be happening? It wasn't fair.
"Shut it! I pay for your damn phone for situations like this, not for you to turn it off so you can go fuck around with that boy!" Susan growled, motioning for Will to shut up when the redhead tried to interrupt. "That's right, I called all your friends and they all said you went over to Matt's house and I know for a fact his parents are gone this weekend."
"Please..." Will whimpered, but Susan continued ranting at the broken girl, oblivious of the redhead's pain or just not seeing it in the dark. Either way, her life was shattered and Susan was proving that all of her fears were justified.
"Shut it Missy, your already grounded indefinitely, don't make it until your in a nursing home!" Snapped Susan as the light on the candle started dying out. "I hope you had fun tonight Will, because it will be the last time for a long time. Now get your ass to bed young lady, I don't even want to deal with you anymore tonight."
Will gaped at her seemingly uncaring mother. Will might need to go to the hospital, she was in so much pain, but it didn't look like relief would be coming anytime soon. Her chest was burning so much after the normally short climb that seemed to have been much worse than usual. Her breath was ragged. Why did Susan have to tear into her so vehemently and not care what Will was going through?
"Mom..." Will croaked at, trying one last time as she winced from the pain searing through her.
"I have had it with this attitude of yours, the lack of respect not only for myself, but Dean as well! I have done everything I can for you, given you everything I can and you don't even seem to appreciate it lately. Always skipping classes, coming home late, sneaking out when I ground you." Susan said softly, Will could almost hear the tears in the older woman's voice as the older Vandom stood there destroying her daughter's last bit of hope. "I hate this new you, Will. I just want my daughter back, the little girl who cared and told me everything."
"But..."
"No Will, just go, I can't stand even looking at you right now. Go to your room and we will deal with this in the morning when the power is back on. After all, we will have plenty of time since you won't be going anywhere for a long time young lady."
At first Will debated about trying again, but instead she just shuffled past her mother and through the dark apartment towards her room. She pushed her way inside, shutting it while at the same time stripping the wet clothes off though she gasped in pain, almost crying out when she pulled the dripping wet shirt off. She wouldn't be able to wear a bra right then she doubted and another tee was out of the question, so she slipped a long sleeve blouse on slowly buttoning it up. She pulled on a knee length denim skirt and panties in place of the jeans since they were the only clean bottoms she had though they weren't exactly what she wanted. Maybe she could buy some sweats or something, anything to cover herself a little more for what she was planning.
Shuffling over to the desk she grabbed her backpack there and emptied it's contents across the smooth surface letting the papers and books scatter carelessly before going back to her closet and filling it with some of the baggier tops and a few skirts. Her jeans and slacks were gone from her room, most likely Susan was washing them when the power went out. Grabbing some extra socks and underwear to add to the small collection of clothes she sat on her bed sliding on the low heeled boots. She wasn't sure what exactly she was doing until that very moment and now she was wondering if this was the right thing to do.
"They don't care, Will. Why stay somewhere that you aren't wanted?" Will asked herself softly, her eyes moving to her nightstand and the folding double frame picture there. It was of happier times with mother and daughter in one and the other the girls and Will at the beach house during their vacation. There was a smaller picture of Matt with a corner tucked into the edge of the frame holding it up. With a surge of rage and a muffled sob the redhead grabbed the picture of the boy and tore it up before taking the frame and folding it and stuffing it in her bag as well.
If the pain from climbing the stairs was bad, climbing out the window and down the fire escape was worse. The pain searing through every movement as she climbed down the metal, slippery steps slipping several times and almost falling over the edge though she thankfully caught herself even if it did cause more pain in the end. It was when she was climbing down the ladder at the bottom that the pain became too much and she slipped from it falling several feet before her body met the cold, hard and wet unforgiving ground. Laying on her back, thankful that the glass didn't shatter and tear through her pack and into her back. After catching her breath as well as she could she crawled to her feet ignoring the wet spots and dirt on her clothes before picking a random direction and heading off in a slow, subdued pace thanks to her injuries.
Normally it was easy to sleep with he beloved husband by her side as the man was everything her ex-husband was not. He was supportive of everything in her life and he loved Will very much despite the two not getting along very well. He loved Susan with all of his heart and constantly showed in so many small ways that Tony had found too troublesome to even bother with. And the things he did, the things he could do, he made Susan feel like a teenager again which culminated in her current state. She was pregnant with their child, a testament to their love and affection for each other which made Susan extremely happy despite the morning sickness and hormones.
It was the hormones she wished wasn't bothering her so much as she knew she was a royal bitch to those around her sometimes lately. She made things a little more difficult with Dean at times and with Will, Susan knew she had been a little too hard on the redhead lately. She was so disappointed in Will though, ever since they moved to Heatherfield the girl had changed and Susan had debated moving away and almost did. It tore at her heart though that her baby girl seemed to be gone replaced by this lying girl that took Will's place. Every time Susan turned around it seemed like Will was getting into and causing trouble such as skipping school constantly to the point where she was on the verge of failing more than once. When confronted about it Will refused to tell the truth and come up with some of the worse lies Susan had ever heard. And to make matters worse, she knew what her daughter was doing and she hated it. She wouldn't have enjoyed doing it, but Susan was willing to get her daughter on birth control to make sure that there was no accidents seeing that the redhead was too young to have a baby of her own. Will had gotten angry over the talk though, swearing that she had never done anything like that despite Susan being sure about it. All the signs pointed to it, or something else, and Susan preferred this to the alternative. Susan didn't want to believe Will was drinking or doing drugs, but the girl's attitude could be signs of it. Matt was in a band and bands were notorious for that kind of thing so maybe it wasn't so farfetched.
Pulling away from the snoring man nest to her Susan laid on her back staring up at the ceiling at a loss for what to do. She was so worried about Will and didn't know what to do as every time she tried talking to the younger girl they would end up getting into a fight despite trying her best not to let it happen. Running a hand over her stomach she sighed wondering if things would repeat themselves with the growing child in her womb. Would the new addition to the family grow to hate her like Will had been seeming to do?
Sighing heavily as she turned her head to look at Dean in the darkness of the room. She was so lucky to have him, he made her life so much better and yet she couldn't draw the comfort she normally could from him. She was so upset, her nerves on end after being so worried about Will while being utterly furious at the same time. If she came right home after the storm, or even called she would have understood her being at the boys house waiting out the storm. It was over for so long before Will finally got home, so long in fact that she was getting ready to go find the redhead herself.
The lights flickering on brought at least a little peace to Susan as she loathed to admit, but she hated not being able to turn a light on if she was feeling a little scared. Not that she was truly afraid of the dark, but every once in awhile she felt a shiver run down her back making her need to quickly turn on a light to soak in the brightness banishing the shadows and that irrational fear in the far corners of her mind.
Deciding to turn off the light so it wouldn't bother Dean, Susan slipped quietly from the bed and moved to the doorway where the light switch was placed next to on the wall. Reaching out to turn it off she felt a cold feeling flood through her, and it wasn't the normal feeling she got when the darkness was being too much since the light was on. She was uneasy about something, she felt as if something was wrong. Deciding it would be a good idea to check the rest of the apartment the woman made her way through the hallway and made sure the door was locked and turned the lights in the living room and small kitchen off.
Moving quietly back down the hallway she was going to check the bathroom when she noticed the light under her daughter's door realizing Will might still be awake. She was planning on peeking in on the redhead anyways to make sure she was okay. If she was awake though, maybe they could actually talk some while Dean slept. Susan had been trying to find the right time to tell Will that she was going to be a big sister, maybe now would be a good time. Maybe they could even have a decent conversation with no fighting though Susan didn't have high hopes for that.
Pushing the door open the first thing Susan noticed was the lack of anyone in the room though she guessed Will probably went to the bathroom maybe. She shook her head at the mess the room was in wishing that Will would take after her a little more and be more organized. There was books and papers scattered everywhere and some ripped up paper on the floor. Kneeling down to pick up a few of the scraps Susan felt a knot growing in her stomach, it was the picture of Matt that Will loved and kept in the picture frame that was...missing? The chill breeze blowing into the window made Susan shiver making her realize that it was open, as was the closet and a few of the dresser drawers that held a distinctive lack of clothing.
Her breath hitching Susan rushed out of the room flinging the bathroom door open as fear gripped her heart, Will wasn't in there. Her worry was growing by the second as she rushed back to the bedroom she shared with her husband, "DEAN!"
"Susan, what's wrong?" Dean asked groggily as he sat up in the bed, the blankets falling from his bare chest showing that he was a lot more muscular than his loose clothing normally showed.
"Will, I think she ran away!" Susan sobbed as she dove into the man's arms sobbing.
"Calm down sweetie, we'll find her." Dean soothed rubbing her back, "Have you called the police or her friends? Maybe her cell?"
Susan could only shake her head no as dread filled her, this was her fault. If she wasn't so hard on Will maybe she wouldn't have ran away.
"Come on, you call her cell and I'll try her friends houses." Dean suggested. Susan knew it was extremely late, or early depending on the point of view, but she had to know her baby girl was okay. She pulled away from Dean so she could go get her mobile phone and dial her number while Dean tried some of the girl's house. If Will didn't answer Susan decided Matt should be next.
"Olsen speaking." Matt's tired, angry sounding voice answered the phone making Susan sigh in relief. Will must have went straight to him.
"Thank god, please let me talk to Will." Susan said, anger and relief beginning to war for the dominant emotion finding where Will must have ran off to. She swore she wouldn't get mad though, she just wanted Will to come back so they could work this out.
"Sorry Mrs. V, but Will isn't here right now." Matt replied, his voice sounding very cruel and twisted. "By the way...did you know she screamed for you to save her?"
Susan's heart shattered as she limply fell to the floor, her eyes going wide as Matt laughed viciously before the line went dead. What did that bastard do?
