GUARDIAN OF THE HEART: A WITCH'S REVENGE
So not so long ago I got a review from PredatorsLove telling me I should consider making a sequel to my original WITCHS story Guardian of the Heart.
So, after a lot of thought I decided to actually make a sequel to my story. Hope you guys do enjoy it and will give me all the feedback that you will like to.
I don't owe W.I.T.C.H., like at all the only thing I am responsible of is the characters that are either unfamiliar to you or you remember that I made up from the first story of W.I.T.C.H. I wrote.
This is chapter 1 of Guardian of the Heart: A Witch's Revenge…
"I have an idea, sweetheart," the beautiful young woman says as she walks towards her man and wraps her arms around the back of his neck from behind the chair he is sitting on.
"What is it," he says as he closes his eyes in the pure bliss he always feels when she is near him.
"Why don't we go out to dinner tonight, a romantic dinner for two? Just you and I, alone, and away from here and everyone who knows us? I know of this great place in…"
"No," Caleb says with a resounding voice once he catches on to what she is trying to do. They have been living together for over six months and all of a suddenly she starts to try to convince him to travel to all kinds of dimensions with her. "No more traveling, Hope. We have been through this before so many times. It is no longer safe for you to go around jumping from one dimension to another. Your powers are too unstable for that. Besides you promised that you no longer want to travel the day you asked me to move in with you," he says shrugging out of her embrace and continuing to look over his work.
"But Caleb…" she tries.
"No buts," he says turning around to look her straight in the eyes. He has to make sure to show no weakness in his conviction. "When we decided to move in together, here at your childhood home in Meridian, you said you were staying here for good. That you loved me and knew this was your path…"
"And I still believe that, it's just…"
"What," Caleb says looking at her with concern.
There is a nagging feeling at the bottom of his stomach that is telling that something was wrong. That if he doesn't talk to her about this soon he would lose and for good this time.
She shakes her head with a sad smile on her lips, knowing that arguing with him might make their situation worst.
They were living in bliss that is for sure. The problem, you may ask, it's her. Things have just been too quiet for her liking.
She likes adventures, new things.
Her life as a married couple is the farthest thing from all of that. But, she is happy and in love. She will soon learn to appreciate what she has and leave this nonsense behind her.
"Never mind, you are right," she says looking out the window as she slightly clenches her delicate hands into fists.
"Now come here," he says extending a hand towards her. "I could use your brilliant mind on this."
Hope gives him a beaming smile; he sure knows how to talk to her to make her stop pouting, before taking a seat on his lap to have a better look at what he has brought home from work.
…..
A few months later….
A gasp escapes through the mouth of the young woman stepping out of the portal that appeared out of nowhere in her living area. She is startle by the presence of the older man sitting on one of the chairs that occupies the small kitchen area.
"I guess you weren't expecting company tonight," the older man says looking at her with an accusing gaze. "I've been waiting for you to come back for two hours now."
The woman turns to the small stack of wood and with a swish of her hand ignites a small fire to warm up the cool home.
"Tea," she says a bit too calmly for his liking.
"No thank you," he says standing up before walking towards her and turning her to face him. "All I want are answers, Hope."
"Julian…" the dark hair woman starts while successfully pulling away from his strong hold.
"Are you cheating on my son?"
The directness of the question startles the princess of Lilick before she can answer truthfully.
"What kind of question is that," she says looking at him appalled. "You might not believe me right now but I love Caleb with all my heart. I would never do something like that to him. I am his until my dying day."
"Are you," he says gripping her arms once more, tighter this time. "You keep on disappearing to god knows where while he is out in the fields working his ass off to give you everything you supposedly deserve."
"Julian i…"
"You are nothing but a spoiled brat," the man almost screams out into her face, finally losing his patient for the young woman, "who doesn't know what she wants. YOU asked him to move in with you. YOU asked him to live life like ordinary people. It was all YOUR idea."
"I know," the princess says with teary eyes now as the gravity of the situation finally hits her.
"You don't deserve him," he says coldly making her look up at him. "You never did. I was a fool, just like everybody else; to think you have change that your time away from your family and friends was enough to make you want to settle down. That when you came to my home, and ask for my son you meant it every word you utter to me and him. All the big talk you gave to friends and family when you two decided to move in together instead of marrying right away was for not, I see now. It was all lies."
"Julian, it is not what you think," she says with conviction as tear begin to steadily flow down her cheeks. "You need to trust that I meant everything I said then. I still mean it. I am not going to abandon him. I love him way too much. I just need to do something. I still want to go out there but it's not as strong as before. I only do this like once, or twice, a week."
"Just once or twice, huh, you can't lie to me. Not the way you have been lying to him, even yourself. I know your kind," he says calmly, mad beyond reason now.
All he is thinking now is to protect his son from a big heartache. To have the woman Caleb will give his life for let him go before it will honestly be too late for all that are involve.
To protect him from what happen to them in the past. To make sure the past will not be repeating itself with even more deadly consequences.
"I will give you some words of advice, little girl, get out," the man finally throws out through clench teeth. "Leave before you will regret ever entering into my son's life again."
"Are you kidding," the woman asks her eyes wide in surprise. "This is my home, Julian, and you cannot make me leave."
"Watch me," he says before the front door to the small cottage opens up.
"Hope, I am home," a cheerful Caleb says before noticing the tension in the air between his father and his woman. "What is going on here?"
"Nothing," Hope says wiping her face free of any tears she let loose.
"But…"
"I am leaving," Julian says a little too cold before turning to his only son with a sad, warm smile. "I'll see you later son."
Caleb turns to Hope with a questioning look.
"Are you hungry," she asks with a fake cheerfulness.
Caleb just drops the subject, for now anyway, as he studies the movements of the woman he loves while she prepares dinner for the both of them.
She is hiding something, he is sure of that. But what it is, he has no idea.
"So how was your day," she says trying to break the uncomfortable silence.
…
Six months later…
The people from the kingdom of Lilick notice a bright red light traveling at high speeds around the palace. Yet, they are not worried at seeing this strange apparition, not one bit, for they have become accustomed to this strange sighting a few months ago when the princess came to visit and in her haste to be in time found out she had a rare power, even for royalty.
The power to fly, something she got assisted by from her new, beautiful, translucent, glittery pink, butterfly like wings.
"Am I late," Hope says as she stops right in front of her twin brother Edwin, the now king of Lilick, just outside the entrance to the royal throne.
"No you're just in time," the king says as his sister who appears from within the bright ball of light. "We gave you a different time just to make sure you arrive in time for this event. It's been to long dear sister."
The king, dress in his best dark blue attire, runs towards his sister holding her tightly to him.
"It's only been a couple of weeks," Hope says stepping carefully away from her brother, making sure her beautiful fairy wings were out of harm's way. "But I've missed you too."
"What are you wearing now, sister," the king says as he looks more closely at his sister as she retrieves her wings. There is slight disapproving look in his deep eyes.
"You like," the princess asks twirling around for her brother.
The young king sees his sister in a loose, big, deep purple shirt that shows of the black tank top underneath it and has a black and silver string belt that is loose around her hips. Underneath the dress like shirt, which stops right above her knees, he sees what looks to be black fishnets with black boots that stop right underneath the knees.
"Dear, sister," the king says giving her a small smile while adjusting the small crown on the woman's head. "You know I am no good at this. But…" he states after her look of disappointment. He then starts to play with her long black hair that is pull up into a high ponytail. "If I do say so myself, you look breathtaking."
She gives him a big, warm smile.
"You think so."
"I know so."
"Thank you. Now, let's go present to our kingdom the new heirs to the throne," she says heading towards the entrance.
"Hold on," he says grabbing her arm before she can open the door, making her turn to face him once more. "There is something you must know before you enter the room."
"What is it," she asks turning complete to look at her brother straight in the eyes. Her voice is now lace with fear.
"He is already here," he says looking for any signs of any emotion only to find none.
"Oh," is her only response.
"He is not alone."
"Well of course," she says with a sad smile. "He would never come here without his d…" she trails of when he shakes his head from side to side now.
"That is not what I mean," he says giving her a meaningful look.
"Oh…" she says with a bit more emotion.
So what do you think so far?
Yay's, nay's?
