CHAPTER ONE:
Secrets out and a long lost family member.
Garcia limped out of portal ,that she had created, the best that she could. She had just finished a battle with a sapposedly low- level demon or at least that was what she thought before the demon changed his size and strength level that she had guessed he had been hiding (something lower- level demon shouldn't be able to do) "Damn that shobbi, she said it was a lower level not a..what the hell ever that thing was! damn her to hell, i'll get her the next time i see her" Garcia mummbled to herself. Garcia carefully limped over to the couch holding her soar arm and laid down. as soon as she was settled she noticed that the portal was still open. "thats not right" Garcia thought to herself. She got off of the couch and stood across from the portal, she tried to put on her coldest face to back up for the fact that she knew she looked like she'd probably fall over any minute. She held an energy ball in her right hand waiting for the demon that would cross her path shurly hoping for her death. After all she was the only witch brave enough to go and hunt down demons. So of course they all hated her.
Garcia watched the portal carefully awaiting her sure to be enemy. She almost burst into tears from the relieve when she saw her friends: Lasmond, Tuesumii, Nathan, and Shobbi. Garcia was about to ask them what the hell they were doing here and what possed them to just jump into a portal when they had no idea where it went, or probable what the hell it even was, when a voie interupted her. "umm...Garcia could you put away the energy ball down before you blow one of our head off!" shobbi yelled more concern and fear in her voice than anger. "oh..sorry" Garcia said closing her hand into a fist as she watched the ball of energy disappear. They all watched in awww as they energy disappated, exept for shobbi of course. When Garcia saw the look on her bestfriends faces she couldn't help but smile.
"I sappose shobii didn't tell you" she said. They all, still looking at her hand, shook there heads no. "We were comming from the movies, when we saw you fighting some big...thing in the park, we were all too shocked to do anything and then when we recovered we were about to come and help you when shobbi said that you could handle it on your own and that we would only get in the way" Tuesumii said in her gentle, and timid voice. "Then we saw it shatter and you got blown a away and knocked through TWO trees!" Nathan explained. " And not that i'm complaining or anything but how are you NOT dead" he said completly confused. "Well..." Garcia started "its a long story but the short version is that i'm a witch, and my powers protected me from the full intensety of the trees". "oh" they all said at once, even shobii, who had been silently wondering.
"Garcia are you sure that your okay?" Shobbi asked "I'm fine shobbi stop worrying" Garcia said it as strong as she could manage, she then beggan to stop clutching her soar and probably broken arm. She looked up at her friends sure that they didn't believe her as soon as she saw the look of worry on their faces. She was about to reasure them again when she had an idea. Garcia closed her eyes and began to focuse. "Garcia?" came a voice. Garcia knew it was Shobbi emidetly even without seeing her. The voice had more of an warning tone than an worried one, it was also strong and independent, with a hint of a brokeness to it. "defintly a sideafect to all that she's been through" thought garcia angrly as she remebered how her friends voice use to sound, it was still strong and independent but it was so much more...happy. "Garcia!?" came the voice again "you had better not be doing what i think your doing!" Garcia just grinned as she began to consentrate harder. Shobbi who was watching her friend carefully so the grin did not go unnoticed. Shobbi then closed her eyes too and begain to concentrate on making sure her mind barriers were working properly when she was sure her friend would not be able to get through she opened her eyes and smiled in satisfaction.
"Well thats no fun" said Garcia with a bit of a pout, she opened her eyes to see a very satisfied and amused Shobbi and her two friends looking terribly confused. She closed her eyes once more and this time focused specefically on Tuesumii she grinned to herself as she started to her the thoughts of her friend:
Garcia awoke to the sound of her friends speaking in hushed wispers:
"Are you sure shes gona be alright?" said nathan
"yeah don't worry nathan, she'll be fine, but when she wakes up the four of us really need to talk about what you guys saw tonight." said shobbi
"What about it?" said tuesumii
"what do you mean what about it!?" shobbi said shocked at there calmness most people fainted just when they got half the information about garcia or herself, some where shocked to the point that shobbi had to earase their memories, not that she didn't do that everytime. But still what was it with them that made them so different?, was there something that she didn't know about her friends?, could they be demons in descise? Question after question started wurling thorugh her head to the point that she didn't even notice Garcia strugaling to sit up on the couch with a great deal of pain but sitting nonthe less watching her intently.
"They would never do that" Garcia said shaking her friend from her thoughts "Don't worry shobbi they can be trusted" Not wanting to say anything that would hurt her friends Shobbi simply shook her head yes. Then she got up and went into the kitchen. Everyone remanded quiet trying their best to figure out what the hell shobbi was doing at three a clock in the morning. Garcia smiled to herself after hearing her friends thought and yelled from her place on the couch "Shobbi its three a clock in the morning" the noices abrutly stopped "A little early for breakfast don't you think?" Garcia added on to the embarrassment. She loved seeing shobbi get embarrassed, not to see her make a fool of herself, ofcourse not shobbi was her friend, but for the fact the shobbi was..well...PERFECT! It irritated Garcia to no end when she did something great shobbi did it exellent it had been that way sence there friendship began over 7 years ago. They only thing that Garcia knew she was better than Shobbi at was magic, which ofcourse she couldn't go around bragging about.
Shobbi came out of the kitchen blushing slightly. She sat down on the coffee table directly across from Garcia. Without so much as a word she closed her eyes while everyone watched curously to see what she would do. Shobbi was obvoisly trying not to slipp up and say anything out loud because whenever even a sqeak came out of her she pressed her lips tight together and stayed perfectly still. It would have been funny if Garcia didn't have this nagging feeling in the back of her head saying she was going to do something she wouldn't like. When Shobbi opened her eyes tuesumii and Nathan gasped her eyes were solid light blue, and her pupils where completely gone. She turned to them, about to say something, when garcia yelled "Hold the phone" and jumped off the couch she held up one hand and a green barrier appeared between tuesumii and Nathan, and Garcia and Shobbi.
"What the hell do you think your doing!?" screamed garcia. Shobbi shook her head until her eyes turned back to normal, then she looked up at Garcia about to answer when garcia said "never mind" and a small dark blue barrier rapped around her mouth priventing her from talking as if Garcia had used duck tape. Shobbi looked extremly anoyed and was trying to scream at garcia but it was useless all everyone heard was muffeled words as if she was trying to talk with her mouth closed. But they all knew that garcia had put the barrier on while her mouth was open so it probably still was. which could not have confortable.
"Just what the hell do you think your doing?" Garcia asked once more, calmer this time. But once again all she got was muffeled words. "ummm...Garcia maybe you should take the barrier off of her mouth so you can understand her?" said nathan "I would but i don't want to risk her casting a spell on me" Garcia said "I guess i'll talk to her telepathecally then". But before garcia could close her eyes shobbi closed hers so garcia stood patiently awaiting the message. When she got it, everyone knew because her eyes widend in anger. " How dare you!" Garcia screamed waving her hands in the air like a mad woman. "How dare you try to earase their memories without even asking me or them for that matter!, and just so you know, I'm WAY better at magic than you would ever be!" Garcia said her anger growing with every second. Then when she saw Shobbi role her eyes that was it garcia couldn't hold back her anger anymore. She took one deep breath and let loose a mealody of curse words.
Nathan had no idea what half of the words meant. Some were in weird and probably dead languages and some he thought he knew the meaning but wasn't sure. But her knew one thing they were all bad...he could tell that from the look on shobbi's face. He was ready to burst out laughing just from that alone. Garcia finally stopped her sweet song of forbdden words when she ran out of breath. She felt like she had just tried to take on 5 full level demons with nothing but low level spells( and trust her, that was a hard thing to do). She finally caught her breath, and looked at shobbi, with a smile on her face. Shobbi still looked shocked beyond all believe but when she saw garcia watching her again she quikly recoved. She sat with her head bowed hiding her face behind her bangs so that no one could see her expression. Garcia enstatlly felt guilty for yelling at her friend in such a way and lend in closer "ummm...Shobbi...are you alright?" Garcia asked. Her quilt went up another notch when shobbi didn't answer. Sence Garcia was focusing mainly on Shobbi she lost he concentration and the barriers she had created, including the one around shobbi's mouth disappeared.
Shobbi looked up to reveal that the intire time she had been smiling not crying. "Damn yo-" Garcia started before she was through against the was sticking to it like velcrow upside down. She was about to curse at everyone of her so called 'friends'for laughing at her, but lost her chance as the door swung open and her sister stepped inside. "oh...crap" Garcia said not noticing that she had said it aloud. Everyone turned to look at, not having a clew who the person was, confusion apperant in they're eyes. Garcia couldn't blaim them though, not even shobbi knew that it was her sister standing in the door away, probably about to kill them all without a second thought. Garcia focused some of her energy on the spell that surounded her body and conected her to the wall. Before she knew it she was on her feet again glarring at her sister.
"Guys" Garcia said coldly not for a second taking her eyes off of the girl in the doorway "come over here, and hurry or she'll kill you and thats a promise" as soon as the words were out of her mouth she instantly felt guilty. "She hadn't meant to sound THAT cold hearted...well at least not to her friends anyway. But what else could she do? Stand there and watch her friends have there hearts ripped out by her own sister? NO!" Garcia shook herself out of her thoughts and continued to stare at her sister. Her friends were now behind her, she could practically taste the fear from them. It tasted good. Garcia shook her head once more not wanting to let her lust for fear and blood get out of control. She watched her sister carefully. "Wait!" thought Garcia "
Garcia starred at her sister for a momment longer before repeating "What do you want?" Her sister only starred then "What do you think of me sister?" Alicson asked in a melodrone voice Garcia was stunned beyond believe before finally her lips started to recover again "I think that your the Bitch who killed My parents and tryed to kill me to many times to count!" Garcia screamed inraged that her sister didn't already know what she thought about her. But the rage completly disappeared when she saw the look on her sisters face, as it turned to concern and confusion. "Th- They were my parents too!" Alicson screamed as she crumpled down on the floor. Garcia had no idea what to do, for the first time in 8 years she felt something other than hate for her sister. Everything was so messed up. Until now she had always known what to think about her sister:
Pain for missing the way things used to be
Guilt for not being able to protect her parents
Confusion for why it happened to begin with
But most of all, Hatred.
Hatred for her sister. No love, none at all. As soon as she came home and witnessed her sister killing her mother, and saw that her father was already on the floor bleeding to death, it decepeared all the love she heald for her sister. She had felt no sadness, she didn't want to cry, she didn't want to make her sister stop and ask her any questions. She had known it was to late for her parents, so all she felt was pure, ultimet hatred for her sister, that and the need for revenge. "This can't happen" thought Garcia
Angela shook her head as if trying to deny everything. "i- i don't remeber, i swear to you i don't remember a thing the last thing i do remember is walking through the forest on my way home when everything went black then the next thing i know i'm standing over mom and dad , and your screaming at me so loud that i can't understand a word your saying. It freaked me out so bad that i just ran as far way as i could get" Alicson said tears running down her cheeks to the point that she couldn't see. she closed her eyes and bowed her head in shame. She sobbed uncontrolobly until she passed out.
Garcia stood there watching her sister. "What do i do? Do i lye her down on the couch? Do i kill her now? WHAT DO I DO?!" Garcia stood there watching her sister through her bangs her head down so that no one else could see her expression of confusion.
"But first can you guys help me get my sister on the couch, don't worry she won't try and kill you this entire time she was being controlled by a demon. But i cut my self on the puppet strings and since i did it when i was genoully worried about her my blood purified it!" She said exitidly.
