The Heart of Power
Disclaimer: I do not own W.I.T.C.H.
Phobos was more powerful than ever. Worst of all they had just lost a battle to him and were running away.
Everyone had just retreated to earth. No one knew what to say. They just sat in Hay Lin's basement wondering what to do next; they hadn't even changed back from their guardian form. Irma, Cornelia and Caleb sat in one corner and Matt, Will and Taranee in the other. Hay Lin and Blunk were in the middle. Cornelia watches as Irma played with a tassel that was on her pillow. Slowly Irma turned and looked up at Cornelia. They gave each other looks, as if telling the other to say something. Caleb caught on to the silent argument finally and thought that he should do something to make Cornelia happy.
"I can't believe that just happened" said Caleb in a quiet voice.
Everyone looked up at him. Then all at once, people started to talk. Will's head was on Matt's shoulder. Then they both woke up and realized what position they were in. They were both blushing mayorly and were embarrassed. Cornelia thought this was cute and smiled at Will. Will smiled back and then transformed them back.
"You guys, that wasn't our best effort." Said Will in a pep-talkish voice
"Ok so we failed, now were just going to have to come back even stronger. We did some good moves out there but its not gonna cut it. We need to----"
"Did anyone do the Social Studies essay?" interrupted Taranee
"Why," asked Cornelia"It's not due until Monday."
Hay Lin, Will, Matt and Irma agreed. (Caleb and Blunk just nodded along)
"That's what I was afraid of. You guys tomorrow is Monday." Said Taranee
"You can't be serious!" said Hay Lin in a panicked voice
"Oww! My parents are gonna kill me if I get another F." yelled Irma
"Mine too," said Hay Lin
"Yea" said Cornelia
"Couldn't you guys just tell your parents? Matt did and they didn't care, did they?" said Caleb turning to Matt
"You're kidding," said Irma
"No he isn't lying. I told them. It was hard but they understood. It wasn't just because they're understanding or because my powers aren't as important as yours. I know my parents are really nice and all, but my disguise is much scarier than yours." Said Matt
"You told your parents!" said Will staring Matt down
"Yea. It was easy. I just sat them down and told them why I'd been missing so much school." Said Matt
"Did you tell them about us?" asked Taranee
"I did, hope you're not mad." Said Matt with a cute smile
"I'm proud of you Matt, I wish I could tell my parents." Said Cornelia
"Thanks and why not?" asked Matt
"They're really proper and they don't like abnormalities. I guess that's not what I mean. They frown upon people that aren't average, normal and rich. They'd probably disown me if I told them I was telekinetic and could control earth." Laughed Cornelia
"That sucks. But why don't you guys tell your parents all together? Like a big group thing. They couldn't say you were lying if you all explained the truth to them." Said Caleb
They all sat there a few seconds thinking about what he said. Then, when it finally registered in their brains, they all smiled and got really excited.
"Caleb, oh my god! That's brilliant!" said Cornelia
Then she ran over and hugged him. All the girls smiled at Caleb expression. His cheeks were red and his face was somewhere between surprised and happy, which left him looking pretty stupid. Matt and Will looked at each other. Matt really wanted to hug her too. Then Cornelia backed away from Caleb and looked at the group.
"Is anyone else exhausted?" Cornelia asked
This time everyone nodded.
As they were walking out Hay Lin had a thought.
"You guys, what about our social studies paper?" asked Hay Lin
Just then a fold opened in the basement. Out walked the Yan Lin. She had on the same old robes but this time, instead of being turquoise, were gold. She looked concerned, restless and anxious. After being hugged by all the girls (Yan Lin got an especially long hug from Hay Lin) she began.
"Do you girls remember when told you that you were guardians?" said Yan Lin
Everyone nodded, including the guys.
"Great well I'm going to have to do it again."
"Your going to tell us what powers we have" started Irma" because we already kn-----"
"Your going to give the Heart to someone else?" asked Will panic stricken
"No, no, no. Will you get to keep the heart. I'm going to let the Heart choose someone else… but not to be the Keeper of the Heart, to be the Heart of Power." Stated Yan Lin
"The what?" asked Taranee
"The Heart of Power. We haven't had to choose one in centuries. Granted, we haven't had a war like this in centuries either. Anyway, the Heart of Power is a guardian who has exceptional strength and power. This guardian will, when the war comes to an end, be able to absorb all of the other guardians' powers and kill Phobos once and for all. In doing so, they will free Elyon from his locket. Whoever the Heart chooses must do it. Does everyone understand?" said Yan Lin
All the girls nodded.
"That sounds great, I hope it's me." Said Hay Lin
"Me too, wouldn't that be cool" said Taranee
"Hey Corny! You're the only one who has ever had all 5 powers at once…what's it like" asked Irma
Cornelia almost didn't want to respond, she hated that nickname so much. Of course she responded anyway.
"It feels scary. Like you could do anything, and no one would be able to stop you. I didn't like having that much power. I guess it makes you very cautious, like you could be corrupted by it at anytime. One element is enough for me." Said Cornelia
"Well, I think it would be fun." Said Will
"Is everyone ready to find out?" asked Yan Lin
Everyone smiled and got excited. The girls formed a circle around Yan Lin. Caleb walked behind Cornelia and put his hand on her shoulder. He was surprised when she didn't get mad, but just smiled at him. Will handed Yan Lin the heart and she whispered some kind of spell to it.
"Does everyone swear that they will fulfill their duty if they are chosen?"
Of course everyone said that they sweared on their lives that they would fulfill their duty. Then, Yan Lin let that heart go, and stepped out of the circle.
The normally pink Heart shinned purple. Sparkles fell from it as it spun around the circle. It went from Cornelia to Hay Lin to Irma to Taranee back to Irma and then stopped on Hay Lin. Then, the Heart turned blue.
"Grandma does this mean that I'm the Heart of Power?" asked Hay Lin
"No, it turned blue that means that your out." Said Yan Lin Happily
Hay Lin stepped out and the heart kept on spinning. After ten minutes Taranee and Irma were out, leaving only Cornelia and Will.
Both girls were smiling and so were Matt and Caleb, who still had his arm around Cornelia's shoulder. The heart started going really fast. Back and forth and back and forth and back and forth. Irma found herself getting dizzy. Then, the Heart stopped really fast on Cornelia. She started to frown and Will got really excited (she was practically doing the pancake). Then the Heart turned and bright red color and started to shake. Yan Lin clapped.
"Cornelia congrats, you are the new Heart of Power." Said Yan Lin frowning
A necklace appeared inside the Heart and came out. It had a gold chain and a huge blue diamond sat in the middle. There were little pink diamonds that surrounded the big blue one. It shinned it the light and placed itself around Cornelia's neck. Caleb couldn't help but think that the necklace was really Cornelia's style.
"That is the Heart of Power" said Yan Lin.
Everyone ran over and hugged Cornelia. Will, who felt really stupid, hugged her first. Through all the commotion, Yan Lin stood in the back, close to tears.
"Cornelia, since you accepted the duty and the heart choose you, you can't back down." Said Yan Lin trying to hide her tears
"I know" said Cornelia
The whole group turned to look at Yan Lin. She was now fully crying and Hay Lin ran over to hug her.
"Its great, isn't it grandma? I never knew that this could make you so happy!" said Hay Lin
"It's not that Hay Lin. Cornelia, there's something I never told you. After you kill Phobos and fulfill your duty as the Heart of Power you will die."
