Yearning
"Who are you?
I've never seen you in my life." Nari said to the stranger.
"Of course not. Child.
We were together until we fell." The stranger said revealing themselves.
Nathaniel gasped seeing who it was.
It was Narissa, the old one who'd wanted Andalasia.
"Who is that Uncle?
It's like you've seen her before." Nick told him.
"That's not important right now." He replied as Narissa cackled.
"That's right dolt!
What's important now is my taking over!" Narissa cackled.
Nari cried as it came back to her.
"Nari wait!" he said as she locked herself in the spare room.
Narissa cackled as she walked through Times Square.
She'd escaped from her puny human body, the goodness had overtaken but she'd escaped thanks to the head ache they'd both had last night.
It enabled her to free herself from the mortal shell she was and had used dark magic to bring herself back from the limbo she'd been in.
Nathaniel saw fear in Nick's eyes.
"What aren't you telling me?" he asked sadly.
It hurt him to hide all this from him but now he had to tell him the truth.
It was the only way.
"Nick…. I never lived in New York until two years ago." He began.
"You didn't?
Then where have you and I been living before we came here?" Nick asked confused.
Nathaniel sighed.
"Here goes." He told himself prepared.
We came from another world called Andalasia full of magical creatures.
You don't remember because you were little.
We came here because of that witch Narissa.
But Giselle stopped her along with Robert but now we live here and I hoped that I could protect you.
That's why I was worried about Nari but she's not like that witch Narissa, not any more." He explained.
Nick then closed his eyes and searched his heart.
Suddenly he remembered living in Andalasia with his uncle and happy.
"I remember now.
My uncle was telling the truth. Iknow Nari isn't like that witch Narissa.
She may have used to be but I like her as she is now and I will do anything in my power to make her feel safe and loved!" he thought.
Nathaniel saw anger in his nephew's eyes as they opened.
"What's he up to?" he thought as he saw Nick open the door after magic emitted from his hand.
Nari was in the darkness of the room crying, upset as she stared into space.
"I am her, that monster who nearly hurt Nick who I care about deeply.
I remember when I was that evil sorceroress. All I did with my magic was hurt others and try to gain power.
All I used to care about was myself.
But now everything's changed.
I.... love who I am now but who am I really?
Nari or that witch Narissa?
Could Nick really love me the way I do him?
It can happen if I changed, maybe I could..... change Narissa too.
But my magic only started returning two days ago.
I need time and it's something I don't have.
So it looks like my dark side unleashed out there will have what she wants after all and I have lost.
No!
It can't end this way, not while people like Nick ...... love me." she thought deeply as magic emitted from her hands and her eyes glowed with purple light.
She had done it by thinking about Nick.
"Yes!
It's working.
Now I'll show my dark side what I've learnt!" she thought.
"Nari wait!" Nick said but she vanished before she heard him.
"Where would she go?" he asked his uncle.
"To stop Narissa, I suppose." he answered seeing him vanish.
He was nervous for his nephew.
Narissa cackled as she was destroying Central Park.
She was in her dragon form as humans ran away in fear and terror.
"That's right!
Fear me my subjects!" she laughed.
"I don't think so my dark side!" Narissa heard somebody yell.
It was Nari.
"What're you doing here?" Narissa cackled.
"I-I came to stop you.
For a long while you made me hurt others in Andalasia but now I don't need you because I have love and people who need me." she replied her eyes glowing with purple light.
"It doesn't matter!
You'll never stop me because you're puny and weak!" Narissa cackled as Nari became a purple dragon.
"Bring it on!" Nari roared loudly...
