On my own
A/N: Hey everybody, I know that I don't upload very often, but believe me I'm putting all my effort in this story. But the school is first, well, I hope you like this for your entertainment because that is the finality of writing this. I'll write all the weekends, and I would change many things of the story in Spanish, I was reading the next chapters in Spanish and I think that Caleb was very… ''romantic'', so I decided to change that a little. And that lazy people who don't review, please can you do it for me? I love u guys, you are making it easier.
Chapter 4- He could be that boy but I'm not that girl- Wicked
Where I am?.- asked again Cornelia impatiently.
Definitely it wasn't her room. It was a place that she had known before but she didn't remember why or how she knew it. It was a peaceful place; a silence was reigning in that room. She saw at far 3 persons walking to her, there was a hairless man, followed by a woman with curly and blond hair and a man that seems the oldest of the 3 with a white large beard, all of them with the same robe. They were very familiar to Cornelia but where?... Of course! Of Kandrakar, she was in Kandrakar, but why?. (A/N: For all of that people who thought she was in Meridian, well, I don't blame you, if I were in your place I would probably supposed the same, she is in Kandrakar a little unexpected right?).
Welcome Earth guardian.- said the oracle of Kandrakar.- I see that you have many doubts but here they are going to be solve.
Cornelia was still confused, the oracle made her a gesture to follow her, she did it, and when he stopped walking they were in a room with strange magic objects.
This room is called '' the fourth of the spectrums'' and here is the reason of your return to Kandrakar.- said the oracle very seriously, like always.
I still don't understand oracle, why I am here?, why you only called me and not to my friends? And for what do you would want me, you said that my powers…- started to say Cornelia very frustrated because the oracle wasn't specific, he interrupted her.
Guardian be patient… remove your powers was a big mistake, I was wrong, always is a danger somewhere, and you have to be able to confront it, on the other hand I want to explain you something.- the oracle was like a professional speaker, Cornelia was paying attention like she was in her favorite class or even more.- This room have countless jewels and magic objects very powerful, that, sometimes give signs, this artifacts are very special. The only one that is chosen to posses them can use the powers of that object correctly. They can predict a danger and they call the chosen when is the ideal moment to used them.- explained the oracle, Cornelia was understanding finally.- and you Cornelia, are the chosen to use ''The crystal tear'' (A/N: Yeah, that's why I called this story the crystal tear), as you can see this object have special powers, that ones that are no chosen doesn't know which are, and that include the sages of Kandrakar, you are the only one who can discover them.- finalized the oracle, meanwhile Tibor and Kalinor were bringing the mystical jewel in a beautiful red pillow. In the moment that Cornelia came closer to this really interesting object, the crystal tear started to shine, the Earth guardian was hypnotized, she touched the crystal tear and the jewel automatically was placed in her neck thanks to a golden chain.
But… if the jewel chosen me …is some danger?.- finally said Cornelia, still amazed by the beautiful tear that was in her neck.
The crystal tear chose you since you was born guardian, but in this moment is when this object call you, precisely guardian you have to discover what is this danger.- said Tibor.- The only thing in what can we help you is where it is, with a long meditation, we discovered a negative vibe in Meridian and there is where you have to go in first place.
Cornelia didn't pay attention to what was saying Tibor after that word, Meridian, Meridian… the most painful place, but also the place where the persons who Cornelia loved more was there, Elyon her best friend and Caleb. The Earth Guardian remembered the day when she was there the last time, but that wasn't the day when Caleb broke her heart, was the day when Elyon said her that she was falling in love with Caleb…. Caleb… that name brought her many memories, goods and bads… but the first memory that came through her mind was when he broke up with her.(A/N: In the comic and in my story he broke up with her in Kandrakar), she didn't realize before because she was paying all her attention in the instructions and explanations of her duty, but know she couldn't stand more, she remembered this, like if this moment of her life was being free of that prison that was called Cornelia´s mind…
FLASHBACK (A/N: Original conversation of the comic)
I've thought about us a lot Cornelia.- said Caleb very serious, that wasn't a good thing, she was trying to be positive, but Caleb was not helping very much, he was trying to take her hand but she refused, she didn't want to feel that warm again cause it would be so much painful for her to separate of him.- I promised you and answer if I came out of the battle with Nerissa all in one piece.
Caleb I…- murmured Cornelia with a weakness that she has never felt.
No Cornelia, don't say anything!.- practically shouted Caleb, not angry but he was trying to explain his feelings and didn't want to hear her before finish.- I just need you to listen to me… I thought about us a lot…
You've already said that.- said Cornelia impatiently, she didn't want to sound so rude but that decision was very important, and he was making it so slow.
You know how much I care about you Cornelia, you know what bring us together… and you also know the pain we've suffered.- he was trying to make her understand that this relationship couldn't work, but she was still having a little of optimist.
That pain is over Caleb, Phobos… Nerissa… none of the people who've hurt us can harm us anymore.- said smiling an optimist Cornelia, she was suspecting the decision of Caleb but she didn't want to accept it, if there was some way to make him see different, she would do it.
Well, I've thought it over and I'm not so sure about that.- said Caleb, he was giving his back to Cornelia, she was very confused, she was seeing the way he was conducing her, but she wasn't going to quit so easy.
What do you mean?.- said Cornelia no wanting to hear that fearsome words
I'm going back to Meridian, Cornelia, and for your good, no, for both our sakes, I'm not going to ask you to come with me.- said finally Caleb, he was thinking that maybe Cornelia would reaction violently but she was that sad that she couldn't even pronounce a word, after seconds that seem infinite in a awkward silence, Cornelia spoke.
You are… you are leaving me! Breaking up with me. Dumping me without giving me any say in the matter.- said Cornelia with shakily, she was beating her nails, something that she was doing only in the difficult situations.
Try to understand. You and I are so different.- Caleb said trying to convince her, with no results, he was saying it like being different was a bad thing, but really they were very equal.
I don't understand, why are you talking to me like this? Why are you telling me this things?.- said Cornelia crossing her arms meanwhile Caleb was trying to comfort her but he was doing all the opposite.
Face the facts! Look back on everything that happened to us, is it right for us to go on living like this?.- he was only seeing the bad side, not all was pain, but when you are defending an argument you think in what you can use in your defense, not in all. Cornelia was very offended; he was treating her like their relationship didn't mean anything to him. Was she living in a lie?
It took you this long to figure that out? You are finally up from your emotional hibernation? Or did you start thinking differently when I saved you? What made you change your mind so fast?.- she was starting to believe that he didn't love her, that he wasn't going to fight for being together, that was causing her feeling hurt, but the only way that she knew to say it was with anger.
I haven't changed my mind about us, what I feel for you is still endless affection.- Caleb said, he didn't know what to say, all this thing of emotions was so difficult for him, he could see that Cornelia inside of her, that side that was not trying to act like it was strong, was very hurt, but he was not going to back down, that proud wouldn't let him.
Affection? Is that what you call it? It's a shame that love is something else.- said Cornelia, all that Caleb said was killing her, he didn't love her, he was only pretending, like he was playing with her and with her weakness side.
I'm sorry Cornelia, I didn't want to offended you…- said Caleb with a look apologetic.
It sure doesn't seem like it, you have explained perfectly well what you were trying to say.- she was understanding, she was giving her heart to another person, and that person never gave his heart, she was expecting of someone who wasn't going to correspond that feeling.
I'm so confused…- he didn't know anything about him, and less from his emotions.
But our relationship any more confusing in the beginning than it is now.- said Cornelia leaving where was Caleb, she didn't even want to see him…
When it began I was sure about how I felt for you Cornelia, but then I found that there was also another girl.- said Caleb almost in a shout. (A/N: In the comic Caleb didn't know Cornelia without her guardian outfit, he hasn't see her real aspect, until he saw her in her normal aspect some time before the final battle with Nerissa, and then is when he started to doubt, he isn't like that, the stupid writers that manipulate Caleb, I hate them ¬¬ but he regret about this in the course of the story)
What on Earth are you talking about?.- said Cornelia with anger, confuse and impatient, turning around to see Caleb in his eyes.
I'm talking about you, this… this isn't what you really look like, I fell in love with somebody who doesn't exist.- millions of stabbing was feeling Cornelia when Caleb said this…
So that is the problem, huh?.- said Cornelia meanwhile she was transforming her to her real aspect.- or should I say, this is the problem?.- said Cornelia without her guardian clothes, she was feeling infinitely hurt.
You see Cornelia? There are too many differences between us, too many contrasts.- said Caleb smiling, he was hoping that Cornelia was starting to understand.- You'll see, we are making the right decision.
You made that choice alone, nobody asked me anything.- pronounced Cornelia, almost whispering to herself.
Cornelia…
I'm disappointed of you Caleb, I thought you were different, but I was wrong, you are.. you are an idiot. Stay away from me! I don't need you to hug me. I'm not going to cry, after all, nothing happened, it was only a goodbye.- said Cornelia, she started to cry in her memory and also in the present.
Kalinor and Tibor didn't know what was happening with the guardian, but the oracle knew what she was remembering that horrible day, for not worry more Kalinor and Tibor he started to explain a little lie to help Cornelia, she was getting out of the trance so she was going to be conscious about what she was doing.
Maybe she isn't used to have the crystal tear…- said mysteriously the oracle.
That could be…- said Cornelia smiling at him for that little gesture of his part. After all that memories were the cause of all her problems, and leaving them free was the first step to move on.
It would be the best if you go to Meridian, you can go with the crystal tear to that dimension and all that exist and you have recovered your powers.- said Tibor, Cornelia saw herself with her guardian outfit, she was feeling full, maybe that was why she was so happy today, all that magic was missing her, melancholy was the emotion of her at that moment but she acted like nothing happened. But come back to Meridian, too soon?... She wasn't ready for that, the crystal tear inspired her confidence. She started to concentrate in Meridian and Kandrakar began to vanish giving way to the kingdom of Meridian.
Cornelia walked all the way to the castle, she was seeing smiles, sometimes some people recognized her and waved her with affection, and gratitude. She couldn't believe that in that place were a danger, ''Maybe the danger is not at simple sight''.- thought Cornelia seeing that people so happy. The way to the castle was very short but with all that stops, for the Earth Guardian the journey was very long. Finally she arrived to the beautiful medieval castle, she found Tidorn, the ex servant of Phobos who betrayed him when the guardians cured him in Earth. He saw her with a big smile and joy.
Guardian? Are you? (Cornelia nodded) It's a long time since you were here the last time, what bring you here? and your friends?.- asked Tidorn very curious.
A long story… I'll tell you another time.- she was melancholic, but she could put a fake smile and Tidorn let her enters.- Thank you.
Cornelia toured every hall of the castle searching the room of Elyon, after 30 minutes she found her best friend's room. She saw Elyon very happy, giving her the back, the Earth guardian started to think that she was not needed there, all was in peace and any problem would chase Meridian again, but the reality hit her like a rock and she understood that the objects don't have mistakes, and if they had some, probably the oracle and all the council of Kandrakar hadn't felt that negative vibe. ''C'mon Cornelia, focus''.- thought Cornelia. Elyon turned to see her best friend seeing her with melancholy.
Cornelia! I haven't seen you for centuries.- said Elyon excited, she went running to her friend and she hugged her with a real affection.
I missed you Ely.- said Cornelia after that hug, she was smiling.
What a surprise! If I'd known you were coming, I would have prepared you a royal welcome for you. Today is a special day for Meridian and….- was saying the Meridian queen when the two friends heard a sound, for being specifics a sound of a sword.
What's going on? Is everything all right, your highness?.-said Caleb entering to the room with a defensive position and his sword pointing to the entire things that could hurt the queen.
Caleb…- Cornelia said in a murmur almost imperceptible. Seems like all the other things in the entire world were gone, they were only them, she was avoiding his gaze, and his face changed from a warrior, determinate, secure and strong to a person, weak, gentle and with feelings. His hidden side was now in the exterior. – After all this time…- whispered the Earth guardian with sadness, hope or melancholy, she didn't know, the reason of her pain was there in front of her, and she was not caring at all, she was still loving him, even if she didn't want to, she forget all the hurt that he caused her for a second, to come back after a infinite silence. And Elyon was there seeing all, she has jealous and sadness because she was not the real love of Caleb, she was only the savor of his people. Caleb saw Cornelia like she was an hallucination, was he dreaming? Maybe if he would touch her she probably would be gone. But she wasn't a dream, she was there really, and Caleb was amazed, he remembered all his mistakes and he felt guilty.
A/N: Well, what do you think about this? Leave a review, and I hoped you liked it, It took some of time, but forgive me, and I putted the conversation of the comic because I think that there they take their time to react and said and discuss and in the TV show is all too fast, here are more details. And thank to my followers, my reviewers, my friends, my mom (she is the inspiration for Cornelia's mom attitude), and all that persons who read this story week by week. Thanks! And I'm trying to put Caleb not very sentimental and soppy (sorry to all that girls who wanted Caleb romantic but let's face it, he is not like that). I love u.
