Wills Amnesia AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if during the first trip to Zambala when they were thought to be the bad guys Will had suffered a nasty hit on the head that left her with a case of amnesia? Now she's wandering Zambala with no clue who she is, where she is, or even what the necklace around her neck is. AU OOC some bashing maybe)
"A defiler?" Kadma asked glaring down at the girl that had been dropped between her and her old friend, Halinor, who was acting a bit weird by one of the Zambalians. The girl was small and young, a teenager at the most, with fire red hair that reminded her of Cassidy's and wearing a standard Guardian uniform with the Heart of Kandrakar around her neck pulsing slightly. The girl had lightly tanned skin and…was that a blood stain on the other side of her head?
"We believe so my queen…however…there was something strange." Ironwood reported while Halinor stared down at the red head with her eyes seeming to flicker slightly.
"What is it Ironwood?" Kadma asked looking between the young girl, a child really, and the tall Zambalian curiously. The child looked familiar, very familiar. In fact…the small red haired child reminded her of the daughter she had raised on Zambala before sending to live with a friend of hers on Earth so she could grow up like a normal person and eventually find someone to love. The last time she heard from her daughter was a little over thirteen, almost fourteen, years ago now when Kadma was told she was going to be a grandmother to a beautiful little girl. Kadma mentally sighed, thanks to the stupid veil being raised, she had not gotten the chance to ever meet her granddaughter.
"My queen…she was being attacked by the other defilers, all four of them. The blond defiler, the earth user, smacked her in the head with a large rock before they ran off when they saw me coming." Ironwood said causing Kadma to look confused while Halinor's eyes flickered harder, it looked like Halinor was getting a headache.
"Why would the other defilers attack this one? It makes no sense." Kadma said staring down at the girl confused as she rolled the girl over a little, so that the girl laid on her back instead of her side. Halinor and Kadma both gasped when they saw the blood on the side of the girls head that had been facing the ground. There was blood all down that side of her head, going to her neck and collar bone as well, and by how pale she was getting with every passing moment, if they didn't stop the blood flow soon it looked like the girl would not survive.
"We must stop the bleeding if she is to survive till night fall." Kadma said kneeling down while Halinor clutched her head and seemed to be arguing with herself.
"W-Will." Halinor managed to get out through gritted teeth, her eyes flashing between emotionless and worried as she stared down at the fallen girl.
"You know this defiler Halinor?" Kadma asked glancing up at her friend and looking worried when she saw Halinor clutching at her head and looking to be fighting something as she stared at the downed girl worried.
"K-Kadma. H-Help her. S-She's not a-a defiler." Halinor said groaning slightly as she sunk to her knees, clutching her head as it felt like it was going to split open.
"Halinor what is going on? First you warn me about the heart corrupting Yan-lin and her using it to make her own set of Guardians that only follow her, and now you're telling me to help the girl with the Heart of Kandrakar around her neck while telling me she isn't a defiler." Kadma said even as she used some of her healing powers, which were thankfully a more advanced power that she got from having control over earth and therefore she had more control of it, to try and stop the bleeding.
"N-Nerissa…she's free…has the…heart of…meridian…and…managed…to enthrall…me and …Cass's ghost…Will…good…guardian…leader….help her!" Halinor said before giving a cry of agony as she clutched her head harder, the side of her that was enthralled by Nerissa fighting the side of her that was free and feeling like they were tearing her apart.
"Halinor!" Kadma said immediately teletransporting to Halinor's side and holding the blond by her shoulders.
"Don't…worry…about me…save…Will…" Halinor squeezed out while Kadma shook her head slightly. Damnitt. Halinor was naturally a healer but she was enthralled by Nerissa and trying to fight the enthrallment too much to be of any use healing the red head girl. Wait…if Nerissa could enthrall Halinor…then maybe…
"What…are…you…doing?" Halinor managed to ask when Kadma grabbed the Heart of Zambala and aimed it at her tip first.
"Trust me Halinor. I have an idea." Kadma said as she shot some energy from the tip of the staff and watched it wrap around Halinor who let out a scream of pain as she was lifted up before being encased by the cocoon of mystic energy.
"W-What?" Halinor asked panting as she dropped to her knees again, no longer clutching her head as she tried to even her breathing.
"You were enthralled by Nerissa using the Heart of Meridian. By using the Heart of Zambala to counter the effects I was able to overpower Nerissa's enthrallment seeing as how she's using borrowed powers, while I am the rightful wielder of the Zambala Heart. I enthralled you but left you with your free will, therefore you are just being fueled by the Heart of Zambala much like I am. Now help me heal the child." Kadma explained before turning back and hurriedly continuing to heal Will. Halinor took another moment to regain her breath before she hurriedly began healing Will as well.
"We're losing her!" Halinor said feeling the girls 'flame of life' as she called it, begin to slip away even as she and Kadma healed up the head wound.
"The head wound's almost healed, she must be bleeding elsewhere as well!" Kadma said even as she focused on the girls head.
"You finish up her head wound. I'll check for other wounds." Halinor said earning a sharp nod from Kadma as Halinor closed her eyes and focused her powers to scan the girls body for any other wounds.
"There's a heavy burn mark on her back and two small puncture wounds that barely missed her heart and lungs!" Halinor said her eyes snapping open just as the last of the head wound was sealed.
"I'll take her back you get the puncture wounds." Kadma said at once, knowing that the puncture wounds would require more delicate work and therefore Halinor would have to do it.
"Her body and the Heart are also working together to heal her up as well so thankfully her life isn't in as much danger as it would be otherwise." Halinor said gently healing the puncture wounds, making sure to let her magic flow into Will's body to heal any other damages they hadn't found yet.
"That's good." Was all Kadma said as she focused her Earth Powers to sooth the burn on the girls back, thankfully she had experience with this because of all the times that she or one of the other former guardians scared Halinor during their Guardian days and she flung fireballs at them first before even realizing who they were. Thinking about the time where Halinor had chased her with fireballs for an hour straight because she had embarrassed the blond in front of their friends caused Kadma's lips to twitch upwards ever so slightly. She missed those days. A sharp intake of air caused Kadma to glance up at Halinor who was shocked by something but seemed to shake it off quickly and redouble her efforts on healing the young girl.
"Something wrong Halinor?" Kadma asked her old friend as she went back to healing Will's back, idly noticing that the child's body seemed to be healing itself as well… and wait…was that…mystic energy crawling across the girl's body trying to heal her?
"Halinor…what's going on?" Kadma asked watching shocked as the glowing white, familiar looking, mystic energy covered the young red heads body slowly and healing her wounds up until they were nothing but faint scars.
"I knew she seemed familiar but this…" Halinor said shaking her head as she stopped healing the girl, knowing that the mystic energy would take care of the rest now that the girls life wasn't in any danger.
"Halinor?" Kadma asked looking at her old friend confused and curious.
"This child…is not only the Leader of the New Guardians, W.I.T.C.H. I believe they call themselves but…she's also my godchild." Halinor said sighing as she sat back onto the hard ground and felt Kadma sit down next to her.
"Really? Then who's child is she? The mystic energy healing her is familiar…but I can't…quite place my finger on it." Kadma said looking at Halinor curiously, and forgoing the royal 'we' she tended to use nowadays. Halinor didn't even glance up at her old friend as she stared at her godchild.
"Her mother is a normal woman from earth who has no clue that her daughter is a Guardian…Will's father on the other hand." Halinor paused for a minute as she shook her head slightly to clear it of some thoughts while Kadma touched her arm gently to get her attention.
"Her father is?" Kadma asked causing Halinor to finally look up at her and quirk a small smile. Halinors next words caused Kadma's eyes to widen. That wasn't what she was expecting.
"The Oracle is her father."
