MewWitch: Witchie-chan here, and I finally decided to a prequel to Will of The Heart. Believe me it was a hard decision to make!
Crux: What do you mean finally? You've barely begun to write Will of The Hea-HEY!
Will: (Shoves Crux out of view and hearing range) Sorry 'bout that Witchie-chan, she doesn't seem to comprehend that since this fanfic is about how she came to exist, she's not supposed to show up until you introduce her.
MewWitch: It's okay, I know how inpatient Crux can be. After all, I created her, and for those of you who don't know who Crux is, you have two options; wait until she shows up in the story, or you can be bad boys and girls and take the easy way out and read the first chapter of this story's sequel, Will of The Heart, which is already posted and the second chapter is up(YAY!).
Crux: Take the easy way out.(runs away from Will who suddenly has a giant mallet)
Will: Get back here you!
MewWitch: (Sweatdrops)Whatever, and know without further addue, On With The Story!
Enter The Dark
Chapter One
Playing With Fire
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
You don't want me there
You just shut me out
You don't know me
Don't ignore me
If you had your way
You'd just shut me up
Make me go away.
Unwanted-Avril Lavigne
"It's not fair!" she shrieked into her pillow, letting the tears pour out.
---Flashback---
"Just go away! It's bad enough knowing that I'm the reason my house is gone. I don't need you yelling at me for misusing my powers!" sobbed Taranee as she leaned against Irma.
Cornelia turned on Will, now roaring, "Just who do you think you are, 'Miss holyer-than-thou' ! What the hell were you thinking?"
"But...b-but.."
"Save it! Do you have any idea the crap we've been going through since our powers have been on the fritz? Of course you don't! You're the only one of us who is able to through the day without worrying that your magic will cause some sort of damage. Taranee's right, just go away and leave us alone!"
---End Flashback---
"Maybe if it had been my house that caught on fire, they would-for once-think about how I've been feeling lately," she growled, her voice dripping with venom.
Will's mind drifted as she lay there on her bed, her anger growing as the events of the last few days finally (A.N. oh! It's the return of the 'finally') sunk in, and her eyelids began to droup. As she fell asleep, Will's thoughts were occupied by only two things; rage and fire.
---Dream---
Blue...so blue..and so calming.
Kind...kind blue eyes...
Who's eyes?
Deeper and bluer than the sea...
Eyes gently framed by gold.
Who are you?
Why do your eyes make me feel safe and warm?
Warm...as if I was next to a-
---End Dream---
-FIRE! Her bed was on fire! Every inch of cloth was ablaze, including her clothes!
Will jumped up, shedding her jacket in the process. She immediately began to beat the flames with it, afraid that they would spread-
-When she realized that since she had woken up the only part of the fire that had moved were the flames on her clothes, which were hanging limply from her body. Once she got used to the fact that she was on fire and was okay, she took the time to look at her bed.
Like a snapshot frozen in time, the flames stood motionless, as if they weren't even there. But they were. Like a natural fire (which it definitely was NOT) it crackled and lit up the room. But, it radiated heat without actually burning-she was unharmed and her sheets were anything but singed. She hadn't actually touched the flames though, maybe it only didn't affect material.
She took a chance and plunged her bare arm into the fire all the way up to her elbow. Expecting the sharp pain someone receives when they suffer a burn, the young Keeper was surprised by the soothing warmth that met her skin. Placing her other hand in the flames, she began to test her luck, smiling for the first time in days.
To Be Continued...
(A.N. Just Kidding! It just got good. Why on Earth (or off it) would I stop now when there's a perfectly good cliffy just waiting to happen?)
For the second time that day Will woke up to find herself surrounded by flames. Unlike before though, she was comforted by the soft glow and gentle heat the tinder offered.
Opening her mouth, she deeply breathed in the heavy air. Then without her knowledge beforehand, a single word slipped past her parted lips.
"Ignis."
Suddenly without warning, the hearth blazed into motion until she was surrounded by a obelisk luster.(A.N. That's a column of fire for those of you who don't know what synonyms are)
Screaming, Will tried to jump through the flames and off her bed, only to be pushed back into the center of the tower. She could only watch as flames spread from her shoulders and her feet, wrapping their way around her body, melting away her clothes. The scar on her chest began to glow and her body began to corse with a heat more intense than any fire(regular or magical) could produce.
She couldn't see.
She couldn't breathe.
All she knew was fire and heat. Unfathomable heat!
Then, the rapid assault on her being ended, as she saw-no-felt her bedroom vanish. Without the support of her bed, Will fell.
Thus her world went black.
To Be Continued (I mean it this time)...
Will!...What the hell just happened!
Crux: Chillax (chill+relax). This is what Witchie-chan meant by a cliffy, yeah know, a cliffhanger. I'm sure not bad happens to you.
MewWitch: She's right, there's nothing to worry about. I want to let all you readers know that this fanfic probably won't be that long(depends on how much I feel like writing). I'll try to finish it as fast as I can, I really need to get this out of my system, and I probably won't update Will of The Heart until I'm done with this. Sorry! And just to warn ya, the other characters of W.I.T.C.H. won't be that nice in this fanfic. I'm sorry but that's the way this story goes. Please don't get to mad. Also, a good portion of the story will be told through flashbacks. Why? Because I'm too lazy to do a full story and also because I want this story to be as short as possible so that I can get back to my other story's. Anyway's here's Crux.
Crux: As you know I'm not exactly supposed to be here, so I'll make this Review Work quick. If you don't know what R.W. is check out Witchie-chan's other fics' for more info. I only have so much time before Will snaps out of her daze and chases me away, so I won't waste time explaining.
Review Work
1.See if you can figure out who Will is dreaming about. Hint: Think Tokyo Mew Mew.
2.Try to find out what the word 'Ignis' means and what language it's in. Hint: What dialect are the romance languages based off of. Bonus points if you can tell me some of the romance languages.
Will: Hey! What are you doing here? Get out! (has giant mallet AGAIN)
Crux: AAHHHHH! (Runs in circles around MewWitch's room while being chased be Will)
MewWitch: Play nice you two!
Will & Crux: Sorry MewWitch-sama.(Bowing)
MewWitch: That's better, but what's with the 'sama' deal? I'm not old! And you can stop bowing for Goddess sake!
Will: Don't you mean God?
MewWitch: Nope, I'd rather think that the most powerful being ever as a female, and eventually you will too, so help me Goddess!
Will & Crux: So s-scary...
Anyways...
Until Next Time!
