Previouslly in Beg For More...
"Anything! Just please give it to me!" Will begged, tears falling like a waterfall. The man smirked before handing her the bottle, then closing the door.
Will sat again close to the window, she opened the drink and swallowed it entirely. She felt good as usual, but that feeling will only last for few seconds. Now nothing not even this potion will make her feel better.
Will lost evertything, she destroyed her life, she had fallen! As she looked at the rain, she knew that her destiny will be cursed, she was doomed to live it.
Sacrificed everything, for just this.
And now: Redemption
Chapter 1: A Choice is Made
Will's POV
Why?
Why do I still do this?
Why do I still do what he tells me?
I know why. I'm just to ashamed to admit it. Even though it doesn't last long, I'll still do anything to get some. Take tonight for instance. 'He' has me going to Earth. Of all the places to go, why here? All 'he' said was that there was something where that has been a thorn in his side for far to long. Oh yes, there have been a small force of heroes that have been fighting his forces on other worlds and taking some of the innocent people to one of the worlds the 'he' hasn't taken over yet. That used to be what I did with my friends.
My friends.
My dear friends. They're all gone because of me. Because of that potion. That cursed potion! If only I could go back and stop myself from taking that first sip, none of this wouldn't of happen! Elyon and Caleb would be alive on Metamoor. I'd probably be home right now having the girls over for a sleepover. Mom would then tell us to keep it down with the noise.
Mom.
Dean.
William.
My family. I miss them so much. Let's see. I'm Seventeen, so that would make William three or maybe two. I wonder if William's doing okay with his powers. Maybe Yan Lin is helping him. That is if she's on Earth. Before Kandrakar was taken, the girls sent her and Orube through a fold. With her alive and safe, 'he' can't touch the Aurameres. Even though I still have the Heart, I can't find her. I'm glad about that. I'm also glad that I only have my powers only. But to be honest, I don't know why I still have the Heart. Part of me wants it to leave me and go to Yan Lin, but part of me is glad I still have it. It reminds me of the happier times. I look at the compass that 'he' gave me to find my target. The pointer then begins to spin around telling me that they're right below me. I then dive down towards the forest below me. Thankfully, I've been invisible since I came to Earth. I find it funny that 'he' can't come to Earth anymore, seeing as there's a veil that 'he' can't come through. Maybe Yan Lin is here after all. I miss Earth. Then again, any place is better than Draknor. But nows not the time to think about that.
I have a job to do.
Normal POV
As Will slowly flies through the forest, she looks around for any signs of life. Suddenly, a arrow zips by her almost hitting her wing! She then fires a beam of energy in the direction the arrow came from. She then sees a figure jump out of the way. It's dark, but she can tell it is a male! She then fly towards the figure at full speed. The figure then turns and sends a thing of stones at her. The attack hits a surprised Will knocking her down.
'How did he do that?', Will thought to herself as she jumped to her feet.
She was about to spread her wings and take to the sky again, but she felt a rope come around her and keep her wings at bay.
'Who is this guy?', Will thought as she formed a ball of energy.
"Don't do it Will!", came another male voice.
'That voice!', Will thought to herself as she froze in place. 'I know that voice!'
It may have been three years, but Will never forgot the voices of those her loved and cared for. But deep down, she was hoping she was wrong about who's voice it was.
'Please don't let it be him!', she prayed. 'Please don't let it be him!'
Suddenly, a figure comes walking out of the darkness and into the light, made from her ball of energy. He was an African-American with brown eyes, and his hair was in dreads that went down past his shoulders. He was dressed in a pair of black jeans, and brown hiking boots, with a white t-shirt, with a black tank-top over it and a black trench coat with white fingerless gloves. In his hands was a long sword and small shield along with the other end of the rope in his hands.
"Angelo?", Will question as she tried to back away but couldn't at she was being pulled back by Angelo as he kept his hold of the rope.
"Hey, Will.", Angelo said with a sad smile. "It's been a while."
There he was, Angelo Vanders. One of the true friends she had since she was a child. They were very close friends. They were there for each other when Will's parents got divorced, and when Angelo's parent's died. If anything those sad times made them closer. But Will then moved to Heatherfiled. But that didn't stop the two from writing each other, or e-mailing one another. But after a few years, Angelo and his Uncle John moved to Heatherfield. Will was fourteen at the time and Angelo was fifteen. It was also the time when Will met 'him'. Everything change then.
Before Will could do anything else, she felt something hit her from behind, knocking her out. There stood Orube, one of Kandrakar's warriors. She stood there dressed in her white fighter's uniform with blue design at the ends of the sleeves and legs and pink belt holding the top closed, and white kung fu shoes.
"I still can't believe it's her.", Angelo said as he walked up to her and scooped her up on his arms.
"Well it is.", Orube said as she picked up a backpack and began walking through the forest. "And now we have to get her to Kandrakar and do what the Oracle told us to do."
"Will it work?", Angelo asked as he followed behind her. "I mean letting 'him' sense we were here, by removing our necklaces, is one thing. But, going to Kandrakar is another."
"She hasn't lead us wrong so far.", Orube said. "So, why question the Oracle now?"
"I'm not questioning her, Orube.", Angelo said. "It's just that there may be some of 'his' forces there roaming the place."
"It's a chance we'll have to take.", Orube said as she pulled out a necklace that held a blue crystal and placed it around Will's neck. "Besides. These necklaces will keep us hidden from anything there."
"I'd like to know what 'his' name is.", Angelo said as Orube then pulled out a white crystal and used it to open a fold.
"Maybe she knows.", Orube said as she looked at Will.
"You maybe right.", Angelo said as they all went through the fold.
Once they all were through the fold, Orube quickly closed it, and put the crystal away. Kandrakar was still as beautiful as it was those three years ago, before 'he' and his forces took it over. Only now, it was empty and quiet.
"So this is Kandrakar.", Aneglo said as he looked around the place.
"This way!", Orube said as she took off down a hallway.
Angelo followed behind Orube as she lead him to the Chamber of the Aurameres. Once in there, Orube ran towards a statue, while Angelo sat Will down and closed the chamber doors behind them. Once that was done, Angelo looked at the five orbs of power that sat on a pedestal.
"Those have to be the Aurameres.", he said as he picked Will back up.
As he was looking at the Aurameres, Orube was pulling the arm of the statue down. Angelo then turned to see a doorway open showing a thing of stairs leading downward.
"This way!", Orube said as she headed down the stairs.
Once down the stairs, they saw that they were in some kind of caverns.
"Bring Will this way.", Orube said as she headed towards a door.
Angelo followed Orube through the door that lead to a dark room. Orube then sat the backpack she had down and pulled out think of matches and lit a torch. Once it was lit, Orube used it to light the other torches in the room. They then saw that it was a room with two beds, a table and three chairs. Angelo then laid Will on the bed.
"Angelo. Stay with Will.", Orube said. "I'll light the other rooms up."
Once Orube left the room, Angelo grabbed a chair and placed it next to the bed Will was laying on. He then sat in the chair and began his watch over her.
"I hope this works.", Angelo said as he brushed some hair from Will's face. "Please let this work, Lord."
Angelo the leaned back in the chair and drifted off to sleep hoping that their plan would work.
Hours later Angelo woke up to the sound of someone moaning. He looked down to see Will slowly waking up. At first he didn't know what to do. There she was. Will Vandom. His closest friend since he was a child. He never thought he'd see her like this. An enemy to himself and all that were fighting 'him' and his forces. He never thought that when his grandmother, Kadma, told him about her days as a Guardian, when he was younger, that he'd be catching one and bring her to the world of Kandrakar. And he never though that Will would be one of them. But on that day three years ago, when Yan Lin, the Oracle of Kandrakar appeared in a flash of light in his home, in front of him and his grandmother and grandfather, Joe Vanders, and told them what happened, well needless to say that he wanted to help. Kadma and Joe, using they family fortune, were a great help finding those that could help. (But I'll let Angelo explain all that.)
"Where am I?", Will questioned with a groan.
"Kandrakar.", Angelo answered causing Will to look up at him.
"Angelo?", Will questioned.
"Yes it's me, Will.", Angelo said. "And like I said, you're in Kandrakar."
"But how did..."
"We caught you on Earth, and brought you here.", Angelo said.
"We?", Will asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Me and Orube.", Angelo said.
"Orube?", Will questioned. "But I didn't see her!"
"She's the one who knocked you out.", Angelo replied.
"Oh.", Will said as she tried to sit up, but couldn't. "Why can't I move?"
"Because you're tied up.", Angelo said. "No offence, Will, but you are the enemy."
"Oh yeah. Right.", Will said. "So, how do you know about all this?"
"Kadma's my grandmother.", Angelo replied.
"What?", she questioned in shock.
"Weird, huh?", Angelo said with a grin. "After 'he' took over Kandrakar, Yan Lin came to us and told us what happened. Since then me and my fellow Guardian's Descendants have been a thorn in 'his' side."
"Guardian's Desendents?", Will questioned.
"Some people or beings from other worlds, that are the descendants of Guardians, develop the same powers they had.", Angelo explained. "It mainly happens to them in their early teens."
"So you have the same powers as Kadma.", Will figured.
"Yep.", Angelo said. "And the best thing is, I don't lose any of my life force when I use my powers. I lose energy and strenght, but it won't kill me. My strenght and energy will simply return."
"That's nice.", Will said.
"Did you know that you're one too?", Angelo asked.
"I am?", Will questioned.
"Yep." Angelo said. "It seems that the last few generations of Guardians were Guardian's Descendants. That's why 'he' came to you with that potion. You were a Guardian's Descendants who was the Keeper of the Heart. If that wasn't a good combination, then I don't know what is."
"I see.", Will said. "Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot.", Angelo said.
"How's my family?", she asked.
"A lot has happened in the last three years, Will.", Angelo said.
"What do you mean?", Will questioned.
"Before, Yan Lin put a veil up over Earth so that 'he' wouldn't be able to go there, 'he' went to Earth and... told and showed your parents everything about you and the others being Guardians.", Angelo explained to Will.
"He what?", Will questioned.
"It gets worst.", Angelo said. "He also did the same thing with the parent of the other Guardians and Matt. At first they didn't believe 'him' because how their bodies were found together in Matt's car that looked like it was in a car accident. But he then told them all that he made it look like that. He then showed off some of his powers in front of them to prove his point."
"He made sure that I can never go back to Heatherfield.", Will said as she fought back some tears. "They hate me don't they?"
"Let's just say, it's best you don't go back to Heatherfield for a long time.", Angelo said.
"What about my family?", Will asked. "Do they hate me?"
"Of course not.", Angelo said. "After your mom told me about their encounter with 'him', I gathered all the families together and explained how it all started, from what Yan Lin told me, but the families of the girls and Matt were still angry. So, just to be safe, Uncle John got your family a home in Fadden Hills just in case if any of the girl's and Matt's families tried to go after them. Heck! Your step-dad got a job at Fadden Hills High School a few days after they moved here. And your mom has a job at my Uncle John's company. She basically does what she did at her old job in Heatherfield. They drop William off at Day Care in the mourning and pick him up in the afternoon."
"So they're safe?", Will asked.
"Yeah.", Angelo said. "And they miss you, Will. More than you'll ever know."
Will then noticed that Angelo was looking at her sadly.
"Don't look a me like that!", Will said as she turned her body show that she was facing the wall as her eyes began to water. "I don't deserve any pity! Not after all that I've done."
"Will...", Angelo began to say.
"I caused all this!", Will cried. "The fall of Meridian and Kandrakar! The deaths of my friends and Matt. And for what? A potion that I never should of taken! Now look at me. I'm 'his' slave! 'He' sends me on missions to do his dirty work knowing that I'll do it for a thing of that potion. I've left my family for that potion. I've even slept with 'him' for some! Oh dear Lord, I'm a whore!"
"That's enough!", Angelo yelled scaring her.
Angelo then grabbed her and turned her and sat her up so that she was facing him wide-eyed and fearful.
"For the last three years, you let that monster make you do his bidding!", Angelo yelled forcing Will to look at him as he continued. "You've attacked worlds, hurt people, stolen for him! You've caused the deaths of your friends and many others! You left your family without a second thought, hurting them in ways you can't understand! And all for some potion you never should of taken in the first place!"
Will them held her head down thinking that she may of lost the last friend she had.
"But after all that I was told about what you did, and after all the pain and suffering I've seen you do. I still see you as the Will Vandom I became friends with all those years ago.", Angelo said as he looked towards the ceiling.
Hearing that caused Will to look at Angelo. Angelo then got up from his seat and started to untie Will's ropes.
"You have a choice Will.", he said as he was undoing her ropes. "You can either join us in our fight to stop 'him' once and for all. Or you can try and escape and go back to 'him'. But I know that deep down, the Will Vandom I know will make the right choice."
Will looked at Angelo and then at the door that led out of the room she was in. Will figured that she could turn invisable, knockout Angelo, and teletransport to any place in Kandrakar and then open a fold back to 'him'. But she knew that if she did all this, 'he' would make her hunt Angelo down and kill him. She then began to cry, as she had her hands to her face, thinking those thoughts. Angelo looked down at her as she cried.
"I don't want to go back.", Will cried. "I want to be free of him."
Angelo then sat next to her and hugged her as she cried.
"It's going to be okay, Will.", Angelo said as he stroked her back in comfort. "It's going to be okay."
Outside the room was Orube, who was breathing a sigh of relief, as she put her sword away, glad that Will made the right choice.
'The first part is over.', Orube thought as she went into one of the other rooms to rest. 'Now the hard part begins.'
Orube then laid on the bed and slowly fell asleep.
A/N: Well, Will has run into an old friend, and has made her choice to be free of 'him'. Let's hope she goes through with it.
I hope this is to your liking, XxRxX.
