I'm finally back with another chapter! I just finished Through Different Worlds, and my little present along with it was to give the next chapter of this story! I can't wait to really get this story moving, because I think it will be as good, if not better, than Whispers From the Past! P.o.w.e.r. will be mixed up with magical adventure, suspense, action, and even a little bit of romance. And of course, the cliffys you guys tend to love! (hehe) The girls are finally reunited after going through the mirror, fulfilling a promise, and the mysterious 'Heart of Candracar fiasco' between Will and Phoebe (see Through Different Worlds) and are now back in their world...where a magical destiny awaits them...
Oh and sorry for not putting this up earlier.
Disclaimer: I don't own W.I.T.C.H. or any of its characters. I do however own Phoebe, Ona, Wei, Eva, Rachel, Erika, the magic mirror and ring of secrets, and any other things or characters you see in this story that aren't from W.i.t.c.h.
Now then, more of P.o.w.e.r.!
Chapter 2: United Again
(1 year later)
Ona's POV
"Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Onalia screamed as she tumbled to the ground. She lifted her face from the hard floor and smiled in the familiar surrounding of books.
"Wow! I can't believe we're finally back home! Phoebe?" Ona said. She looked around before something collided into her, knocking Ona back to the ground again.
"Whoa! Oh! Sorry, Ona."
Phoebe slid off of her back and Ona finally managed to stand up straight. Her eyes wandered over to all of the broken shelves and torn books everywhere. It certainly would take a while to fix this place up again.
"Well, it looks like this place will need some work." Phoebe said, fingering the shards of a splintered bookshelf. Onalia nodded and sighed. She reached over and hugged her friend tight with happiness.
"I can't believe we're finally back! There's no place like home!" Phoebe struggled to breathe and laughed a little when Ona released her from the bear hug.
"Alright, Dorothy. Do you mind telling me where the scarecrow, tin man, and lion went off to?"
Onalia stood up and stretched. She motioned for Phoebe to follow her, but Phoebe was staring at the mirror, clutching her hand.
"I just can't believe we're not going back. It's all over, we got to fight with W.i.t.c.h..." Ona walked forward and put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I know how you feel, but we have to go. The Oracle needs the mirror for something and the others are waiting for us somewhere. But, you could always see them again, can't you?" Ona asked softly. Phoebe sighed and walked after Ona as she started heading for the doors out of the bookstore.
"Yeah, I just hope the Oracle can close the mirror without me." Phoebe said as Ona opened the door.
Her eyes traveled up and down the street. She shivered as the harsh wind beat against her arms and she wished she had worn her coat before going through the mirror. Phoebe stepped out of the doors behind her and rubbed her hands together.
"Geez! It's freezing! Oh, there they are."
Ona's view turned to where Phoebe was pointing and she noticed Rachel waving for them to come to where they were sitting on a bench at the park nearby across the street. Ona walked as fast as she could, thinking it would take them forever to reach their friends. She finally was standing in front of them and nobody said a word. Eva, Rachel, and Wei were smiling up at them and Ona found herself smiling back. It seemed a long time since they were back home, where things would return to normal. Eva's mouth parted as she glanced at Ona and Phoebe.
"Welcome back." she said happily.
"It's good to be back." Onalia answered.
"Hey, okay. I bet we all want to know what we all just went through. How about we go to my house?" Wei asked as Rachel hopped off the top of the bench next to Eva. "I'll make hot chocolate?"
"Ooh, I'm there!" Ona yelled. Everybody laughed and got up and started walking. This was going to be a very long story, but Onalia was up to it. If that means I can finally hang out with all my friends and talk about all the adventures we just had, then I would be willing to stay up all night, she thought.
"Well," Phoebe started. "It all began that day when Eva and Rachel were home from school. When Ona and I went into Barnes and Noble to study untill a thunderstorm came. When we found that magic mirror..."
Little did Onalia know that somebody was watching them leave and recount their precious tale. A girl had just fallen through the mirror and bit her lip as she saw them walking together, not knowing what was to come.
"But Phoebe might." Erika whispered. "She knows." She got up and quietly started walking away.
"It's up to me to protect them since the Oracle can't watch them in this paralle deminsion. I need to make sure that they learn about their destiny and follow through with their mission. They need to protect this world and many other worlds from knowing evil, but evil is now crawling through this very city...hiding." Erika glanced around the corner quickly to make sure that a monster really wouldn't pop out at her. She had powers, but she would only need to use them in the aid of the Guardians or for self defense.
"I wonder what's going to happen now." she whispered. Erika looked back at the bookstore once again and walked on in her troubled thoughts.
"As bad as things seem now, I have a feeling that things are going to get worse. Much worse."
Phobos landed gracefully on the hard carpet in a place filled with many books. He looked behind him quickly to see if he had really escaped from Candracar. There was no trace of the mirror. He couldn't hear their cries of frustration. He was free!
"Well done, son! Well done." he addressed the boy standing next to him. He shrugged and looked around out the windows.
"Thanks, now what do you plan to do now that we're here? You do have a plan don't you?" the boy asked.
"Ah, yes in fact." Phobos said gleefully. "But- what the?" His eyes caught something. A book...the girls looked familiar.
"That can't be." he whispered as he grabbed the small book and flipped through the pages. The Guardians of Candracar were in here, and Elyon, and Cedric, and..himself.
"What is the meaning of this? I am way better looking than this picture in this book!" he cried. His mind started turning.
"It looks like this world had already known about us." Phobos whispered thoughtfully. "That's why those girls knew about me. They had read it in a book! They weren' special at all!"
"But they are." the teenager reminded him. "They are the new Chosen Ones, you saw it yourself." Phobos rubbed his chin and nodded.
"Yes, I did, and now it's time to put my plan into action. Find Cedric. I will need him to track down your sister. But tell him to be careful, there's a protector from Candracar who may get in our way, so be sure to look out for her." Phobos chuckeled. The boy stared at him angrily.
"Why him? He won't get the job done. She's my sister, I will look for her!"
"You will do as I say! And besides, I have another mission for you." Phobos told him. He crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah, what? I'm not playing a babysitter or doing some little girl stuff." Phobos smiled at him.
"You will find the Keeper. Get close to her and get the Heart of Candracar and the ring." The boy stared up at him.
"You're kidding, right?"
"It is most important, and the easiest way to get what I want. I will not let the same mistakes be made that we did with the Guardians of Heatherfield. We must try new approaches in order to defeat them." The boy nodded and grinned.
"Don't worry, I'll do it slyly then. I will find a disguise and nobody will ever know that it is me." he said. Phobos nodded with a mad grin.
"Good. And you and Cedric may need to work together sooner than you think. The Guardians don't know they have powers yet, and it will be easy to crush them before they have a chance to dicover them." The boy started running away out the doors with the last words that he would be quick. Phobos walked out the doors too with a new feeling of complete power in his unfailable plan. The new Guardians seemed so weak, but he knew better than to underestimate them.
He pictured the five girls, the one with the flaming red curly hair, that African American girl with the braided hair, the Asian one with braces, the blonde who talked too much, and the girl with the Heart of Candracar inside of her, the decendant of Amelia. He couldn't wait for all of their power to be his!
"Yes, the Guardians will be destroyed, before they ever have a chance to win."
Okay, I was only able to finish this today because I missed the bus(I'm so mad because it passed right by me and came early) and had to stay home today, which will probably make me grounded or something and definitely fall behind in math, but I can't do anything about it now. I might have finished it after school today anyway so you would have gotten this chapter today or tomorrow. I'll have chapter 3 up in around a week. Please review !
