Icelyn stood in her room 6 days later, while looking at her reflection, as tears almost started streaming down her face. She wiped them away real fast before looking out the window, only to see that it had turned into a gloomy day.
"Kaz, I'm so sorry. I should have given you a chance to explain yourself." She said out loud to no one specific.
(SONG: "If this was a movie" – Taylor Swift)
Last night I heard my own heart beating/sounded like footsteps on my stairs/6 days gone and I'm still reaching/even though I know/you're not there/I've been playing back a thousand memories baby/thinking about everything we've been through/maybe I've been going back too much lately/when time stood still/and I had you.
Come back/come back/come back to me like/you would/you would if this was a movie/stand in the rain outside till I came out/come back/come back/come back to me like/you could/you could if you just said you're sorry/I know that we could work it out somehow/but if this was a movie/you'd be here by now.
Icelyn walked to her bed and sat down on it, as she looked at a photo she kept on her nightstand, of her and Kaz together at the Mighty Med picnic.
I know people change and these things happen/but I remember how it was back then/locked up in your arms and our friends were laughing/cuz nothing like this ever happened to them/now I'm pacing down the halls/chasing down your street/flashback to the night when you said to me/"nothing's gonna change/not for me and you"/not before I knew how much I had to lose.
Come back/come back/come back to me like/you would/you would if this was a movie/stand in the rain outside till I came out/come back/come back/come back to me like/you could/you could if you just said you're sorry/I know that we could work it out somehow/but if this was a movie/you'd be here by now.
Icelyn stood up from her bed and walked outside on her patio, thinking about the time she saved him from Toxic Flame.
If you're out there/if you're somewhere/if you're moving on/I think about you ever since you've been gone/I just want it back the way it was before/and I just wanna see you back at my front door.
And I'd say come back/come back/come back to me like/you would before you said "it's not that easy"/before the fight/before I locked you out/but I take it all back now!
Come back/come back/come back to me like/you would/you would if this was a movie/stand in the rain outside till I came out/come back/come back/come back to me like/you could/you could if you just said you're sorry/I know that we could work it out somehow/but if this was a movie/you'd be here by now.
(End of song)
Icelyn sighed before going back into the house and closing her patio doors behind her as her phone rang, making her walk over to it, and see that it was Oliver calling. So, she answered it.
"Hey Oliver. Look, I'm fine. But I need to know where Kaz is." She said.
"I was just about to ask you that. He hasn't shown up to Mighty Med, and he was supposed to be here hours ago. He's never late to show up here." Oliver said on the other line.
That was when Icelyn's eyes widened. "Oliver, grab Skyler and meet me at The Domain. Kaz might be in trouble!" Icelyn yelled as she hung up and ran out of her room and out the front door.
XXXXXXXXXX
Kaz began to walk down the street to get home from school. But which ever way he went, it was blocked off. So, he went to The Domain to think. He went for some comic books and grabbed one that looked interesting, then walked over to the couch and sat down on it, as he plopped his book bag on the floor. He then looked at the cover of the comic and grinned.
The cover was of him in his Ghostly Moon outfit, and Icelyn in her Ice Storm look, with their hands clasped and smiling. The title of it said 'The Adventures of Ghostly Moon and Ice Storm'.
Kaz began to read it before he could feel a tear run down his cheek. He closed the comic book and set it on the table in front of him before leaning back against the couch. "What did I do? I got angry for no reason." Kaz began before standing up and looking over at the door, only to see the ice was still there from when Icelyn first learned about her powers.
"She was my everything." He stated before he realized... "I've always been a player...but with her..." Kaz grabbed his book bag before running out of The Domain, so he could go make things right with Icelyn, but found himself bumping into someone, and looking up.
"Ghostly Moon, is it?" The man asked.
"Who are you? And how'd you know that?" Kaz asked as he was getting ready to use one of his moonbeams on him.
"I'm Blade...Lydia's boyfriend." Blade answered before a full on fight began to play out. Kaz used his moonbeams to stop the evil man, while Blade just used his swords to try and destroy him for his beloved Lydia.
But Kaz was way too quick with those. He tried his best not to get hit and to dodge the swords as he used his royal blue moon shield to protect him. But after a while...
"AH!" Kaz yelled as he was thrown to the ground, with Lydia standing 2 feet in front of him now.
"This is for my mother!" She yelled as she made a black fireball in her hand.
Kaz braced himself for the impact...that never came. He heard a gasp, which made him open his eyes and look up, only to see Icelyn standing in front of him, with a burn mark on her stomach. His eyes widened as she fell to her knees, while holding her stomach.
"Icelyn?" Kaz said, in a hushed tone, and afraid that she was hurt.
"K-Kaz...I-I'm sorry for not giving you a chance...to explain yourself." She said before she fell completely to the ground, unconscious.
"ICELYN!" Kaz screamed right as Skyler and Oliver showed up, only to see Icelyn lying on the ground, and Kaz, holding her in his arms. "Icelyn, come on, wake up. I need you to wake up." Kaz kept saying as he shook her, and patted her face to get her to open her eyes. But nothing worked.
"Why would she do that?" Lydia said under her breathe before she disappeared with Blade following behind her.
Kaz then quickly picked up Icelyn bridal style and turned around before running towards Mighty Med with Oliver and Skyler running after him.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Why would she sacrifice herself to save him!?" Lydia yelled as she threw some fire at a wall, thankfully missing Blade's head. They had just returned to their castle to come up with a new plan to destroy Ghostly Moon. But, they were coming up empty.
"Relax, Lydia." Blade began, before he saw his girlfriend create a fireball in her hand and giving him the evil eye. "Or don't!" He said, as he put up his hands in defence. "Just a thought."
Lydia let the fireball die down as she walked away from Blade and towards another room. She needed alone time. "Let me be for a while, Blade!" She yelled to him before she closed the door to the room she entered completely.
She then turned on some of the torches and looked around the room. It was small, and dimly lit, with one single window that you could look out and see her planet in distress. She lived on Mars after all.
"What am I to do now, mother? Their love is so strong, I don't even think I CAN defeat them." Lydia said out loud before a big sigh came out of her mouth.
"Oh, I know you can't." A voice broke the silence, making Lydia spin around and see a young girl who looked like she was in her late 30s or early 40s, with medium length brown hair that had little streaks of gray and black in it, and hazel blue eyes. Her skin was pretty pale (she was almost an older version of Icelyn) and her outfit showed that she meant business. It was a black long-sleeved v-neck shirt, with a black leather mini-skirt and black leather high-heeled boots.
Her arms were crossed over her chest and she was leaning up against the wall. She was giving Lydia the evil eye practically.
"What do you want, Marilee?" Lydia asked with her own evil eye.
"Nothing. I just came to see you." The girl now known as Marilee began as she pushed herself off of the wall and walked towards Lydia.
Why does that feel unsettling to me? Lydia thought to herself.
"You hurt my daughter." Marilee stated with anger in her voice.
"I was aiming for her worthless boyfriend. She was the one who ran in front of hi..." Lydia didn't get to finish, for Marilee reached into her chest, and pulled out her darkened heart.
"That may be...but you don't mess with my family." Marilee stated as she held the heart of Toxic Flame's daughter.
"What now? You gonna kill me by crushing my heart?" Lydia asked, more like stated.
"No...I'm gonna watch you suffer, as my daughter and her boyfriend turns you into ice and snow...just like your mother." Marilee began.
"You're only letting the darkness inside you win by doing this." Lydia stated with fire in her eyes.
"At least I'm not the one trying to change my daughter's future by killing the man she's meant to marry." Lydia went silent at that being said. "Now, if you would excuse me..." Marilee began as she put the heart back into Lydia's chest. "...I have to go see Icelyn. She's in bad condition...THANKS TO YOU!" Marilee then swiped her right hand up her body, making black smoke go around her, and making her disappear.
Lydia stared at the spot where Marilee Diaz used to stand, with her hand on her chest as she breathed heavily. Marilee was letting the darkness inside her take control. She had no idea what she was doing half the time now-a-days! It was like she was slowly turning into...a super villain.

Hey everyone, sorry for the late update. I've been busy with work now getting more hours than usual since it's the Christmas season. So, forgive me.
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter, and I hope you like the little twist with Icelyn's mom and stuff. See you guys in the next chapter. Hopefully I'll be able to find time to write it.
