Well, first of all: thanks for the rewievs guys :) Oh, and I'll try to put more action after... this part I think :-/ Don't worry, I'm not an easy person to get angry or whatever at reviews :D You can critique me when needed.
Heh :D I've translated the other parts of ANGEL too (8 parts in total for now) in a total of 2days! I'm so proud of myself :) Thankfully, I also have an idea of how should I continue. Now a few things about this part:
1. I took this whole story into Canada. Dunno. In one of the episodes of WITCH, I had seen a different colored flag on Will's coat which looked like France's, which makes me think the thing is not happening in US. The eppie where I saw it was, I think, in the 1. season where in the end Will kissed Matt.
2. The thing Eve says about Americans? Don't be offended if you're an American, it was not for offense, it was just to give Gina an excuse to break down Eve's guard later on. Really :)
3. Guess that's all for now. If you hve any questions, fire it away.
Disclaimer: Same, I only own new characters :)
PART 3 / THE NEW KID
Next day. In front of the school.
Abby: We're meeting at my place today after school. We'll take the heart and practice a bit.
Gina: Oh, put that aside for a moment. A new kid is coming to the school. From New York!
Eve flails her hand as though to wave off an invisible fly.
Eve: Oh come on, Americans are too spoiled, don't you know? Wish he won't come to our class.
Leanne: Huh! You say this, but you'll be the first to meet him when you see him!
Eve frowns at her friend...
------------
During the lesson.
Sitting in the back of the class, a handsome boy with curly, chestnut hair and green eyes, Nick, sends Li, who is sitting in front of the class, a note by his friends. Li takes the note, unfolds it.
"I cannot take my eyes off of you."
Li giggles and turns back. Nick smiles and winks.
Suddenly someone knocks at the door. The principal is at the door.
- Professor. The exchange student coming from America, Jack Summers. He'll be a member of your class from now on.
Everyone turns to the door. The principal steps aside for them to see him, and the class lets out a gasp.
Only Eve hadn't turned to the principal. After she heard the gasps, she rolls her eyes and looks at the doors...
And she stares...
Wavy blond hair coming down to the eyes, a little bored looking turquoise eyes gazing through the class...
The boy, feeling that he is being watched, turns his gaze to her...
For a moment they hold their gaze...
- Right, Jack, you may sit down.
Jack looks at Eve for a last time. Their eyes meet...
Then he takes a seat and the lesson resumes...
------------
During the break. The playground.
Eve is stubbornly studying maths while waiting for her friends.
Suddenly, a shadow falls over her. She looks up to see...
Bright blue eyes in front of her...
A smile greets her.
Jack: I'm told that the most beautiful girl in this school is here. Can I have the pleasure to know your name?
This is the new kid. Eve looks at the hand extended toward her for an instant, then shakes it, beaming.
Eve: Hi. I'm Emelyn Olsen. But you can just call me Eve.
Jack: I'm Jack Summers. As your boring principal had told. Pleased to meet you.
Eve: Me too.
They fall into silence. We see Abby, Nami, Gina and Leanne coming. Gina sees Eve and Jack and raises her hand to stop the girls, smiling.
Jack: Well, y'know, I'm new around here. It would be nice if someone gives me a tour around.
Eve is taken aback.
Eve: Well, I, I, I... I'd really like to help you...
Jack's eyes glint.
Jack: Cool! I may see you at the end of the school today, then, huh?
Eve is just about to say okay happily when she remembers.
Eve: Um, I'm sorry, no way... I mean, not today... Can we go out another day?
Jack: Sure. Let me know your free day out. Bye!
Jack turns his back to go. Eve stares after him, dumb founded.
The girls approach her. Gina is bursting to say it.
Gina: 'Americans are too spoiled, don't ya know?' Ha! Li said she would be the first to meet him!
Eve quickly comes to herself.
Eve: I wasn't dying to meet him, he comes on me!
The girls start to giggle.
Nami: What about him saying 'the most beautiful girl in this school'?
Leanne: A new love, Eve?
Eve, feeling her face burn, flings her bag to her back.
Eve: Oh let's go, we'll be late for the class!
The girls, still giggling, follow her...
------------
The class.
Eve and Jack, sitting a few desks apart from each other, are looking sideways at each other. Then their eyes meet. Jack winks, grinning. Eve slightly smiles at him, then turns, a bit ambarrassed.
- Thus, the American Independence War...
Thud!!!
Eve startles, turns behind like everyone in the class.
She holds her breath...
Jack, his face as white as marble, had slid from his chair to the floor...
The professor hurries to him. Eve tries to get to her feet, alarmed.
- Everyone, stay where you are!
Only then Eve realizes that she is not the only one who has got up. She tries to move forward, but Gina and Abby, sitting beside her, hold her arms and force her down.
Abby: Eve, sit down!
Eve does, tears up in her eyes. With a barely audible voice, she mumbles.
Eve: Jack...
The professor is trying to bring Jack to himself, rubbing his wrists. She turns to a very shocked class.
- Someone, go quickly and...
Jack: There is no need, professor.
Eve quickly turns to the voice and exhales with relief. Jack had come to himself, he is trying to sit up.
Jack: Sorry, I interrupted the lesson... I'm okay...
- Alright Jack, you have to be taken to the hospital. Can someone gather up Jack's...
Eve starts to get up. At that moment
Jack: Professor, there really is no need.
- You should at least go to your home. Can you give me your father's or mother's phone number?
Jack bows his head.
Jack: I'll just call my uncle.
Jack walks to his desk and starts gathering his stuff. Eve looks at him anxiously...
------------
Outside the school.
As he walks out the front doors, Jack brings his cell phone out. He dials a number. His phone starts shining. Without waiting for a reply, he speaks.
Jack: Hello? Uncle Phobos? I'm released from the school, where can I... Okay, thanks.
He ends the connection, hesitates for a moment, then walks away...
-------------
After school.
The girls are walking towards Abby's home. Eve seems to be distraught.
Abby: Eve! Eve, are you listening?
Eve startles and turns to her.
Eve: I, I'm sorry... What were you saying?
Li shakes her head.
Leanne: Eve, Jack will be alright. Calm down.
Eve: No, I'm not thinking about him. (seeing how they look at her) Well, okay... Dunno, something just bugs me...
Gina puts her hand on her shoulder.
Gina: Come on, cheer up, we are going to test our new 'powers'!
Eve smiles at her weakly...
------------
An empty spot on the bank of the river.
The girls and her mothers are gathered here. Will looks around, smiling.
Will: Do you remember ladies? This is where we first practiced our powers.
They giggle. Will looks at her unhappy daughter anxiously, then turns to Abby.
Will: You'll hold the heart and say 'Guardians, unite'. This is how you achieve your guardian form.
Abby does as she is told. Like the first time, bright lights surround the girls. They transform.
Abby: Energy!
Nami: Water!
Gina: Fire!
Eve: Earth!
Leanne: Air!
Abby shakes her head.
Abby: I don't think I'll get used to it soon!
Cornelia: Well, let's get going with the practice.
-----------
Leanne: Did you see how I created that little tornado?
Nami: What about me, starting that rain?
Gina: Huh, my fire stuff was better!
Abby: And I think I start to have a better control over the heart!
Will looks at Eve, who is walking next to her, and hadn't said a single word over the day. She herself had created a big tree from the ground all of a sudden, but she hadn't mentioned it. She sighs and smiles.
Will: Well, what about you?
Eve doesn't understand at first.
Eve: Who?...
Will senses something bothering her daughter deeply, and frowns. Then Eve understands.
Eve: Mom...
Will: (with a serious face) Eve, really, something bothers you, I can feel it. Did something bad happen?
Eve says nothing. Gina looks sideways at her.
Gina: Actually...
Eve holds her head up and, without looking at anybody, speaks.
Eve: Actually, it's nothing mom. And... (she looks at everyone and smiles) I'm sorry, but my tree was better than any of your stuff.
All the girls beam...
-----------
Meridian. The suburbs. A little, shabby hut.
The feet of someone who is pacing through the room.
- So tell me. How was your first day at school?
A figure with a long cloak and a hood slowly raises his face. Jack is seen through the hood.
Jack: Not good, uncle. This thing about me fainting... it happens a lot lately. First, I see very weird images, then... everything just goes black...
The man in front of Jack steps into the light. This man is Phobos.
Phobos: Don't worry, it'll be all over. Have you met someone new?
Jack looks away.
Jack: Only one. A stupid girl. I want to draw her energy and increase my powers.
His face is shown from behind. Jack's eyes shows the exact opposite of what he has told, it is clear that he, too, likes Eve. He just didn't want Phobos to see it.
He is successful. Phobos seems to be amused.
Phobos: This is my nephew.
He starts laughing...
