Disclaimer! I do not own the W.I.T.C.H. Franchise! (It's a short chapter)

I have originally seen the series in another language where from time to time Cornelia is refered to as Courtney, I will not repeat the mistake again.

The black space around me... us was all I...we could see, there were four others- a tall blond one, very short purple hired one, another one with long blue hair and one with red hair.

We stopped talking amongst ourselves a long time ago.

Finding the answers to who, what, where and why seemed impossible.

Occasionally she felt herself shake from the cold, the red head would jump like she was stung by static electricity, the longhaired blue girl got dizzy once in a while and the other would feel really hot.

Only the blond didn't show any signs like that.

Nerissa would wonder the castle like a menacing spirit. Every living thing held their breath as she passed by.

"Darling, don't furrow those eyebrows. You might get wrinkles again." Began Napoleon as he licked his paws in the cage.

"Oh, so the little kitty isn't scared of me, eh?" Nerissa glared at the cat. Cassidy could hear the grinding of her teeth.

"Until Halloween I'm not." Not ever really, thought Napoleon as he felt a drop of energy disappear from his body that morning.

"Just because I need you alive until Halloween, doesn't mean I can hold myself back from clipping off a limb or two."

"C'mon, I was trying to lighten the mood."

"Well, this little kitty may need to shut its mouth"

Elyon watched Aldarn cross one of the fixed portals between dimensions back to Meridian. He always avoided the subject of how her people were doing. She wished with all her heart she could escape the castle she was trapped in. She attempted every approach she knew to try and steal her powers back. Her brother who she hated still was easier to handle than the insanity of Nerissa.

Walking down the hallways, she was almost at the door to Caleb's room. Reaching for the door, she stopped.

Sobbing.

"My boy... My child..." Nerissa? "What have I done?" she continued, "I wanted you to be proud of me, unite the worlds and to be peaceful forever. It may look bad now, but soon the worlds will grow and flourish with each other's knowledge and skill. An empire of peace stretching across planets and dimensions- something even Kandrakar could not hope to establish my child..."
