Of Fire and Ice

I don't own anything from W.I.T.C.H but only minor oc characters.

Chapter 5

We wait up until dad gets home which is not as late as usual since Peter called dad and told him mom didn't look good. I pass out between then and I don't really relax. I hear my dad whispering something to mom and I hear tears. I wonder what is going on and if my dream had anything to do with what is going on. I feel really hot all over and I force myself awake and I sneak to the door of my parent's room and try hard to listen.

I hear mom sobbing and say, "Oh Lionel I have this strange feeling my baby girl is going to be some sort of target. I don't know why I feel so paranoid."

I can just imagine dad hugging mom and I hear him say, "Theresa I'm sure she will be alright don't let your intuition ruin your one chance to get what you need." I feel guilty as I hear mom's confession. 'Mommy doesn't need to feel scared for me. I will be strong and smart for mom so she won't be sad.' I gasp when I hear footsteps come to the door I freeze and look up at my daddy's eyes. I stand up and just look at him curious if he will punish me or sternly tell me to go to bed.

He steps aside and says, "Go see mommy Taranee." I obey and I see tears still flowing as she hugs me tightly against her. I smile and hug her back. I hear my mom gasp and I feel her hand on my head. I can see more worry filling up her eyes.

I ask, "Mommy, are you going to be ok? I'll be ok at school don't worry."

She hugs me and says, "Baby take this number with you. Should you get hurt or someone doing bad things to you? Call this number and Mommy will come ok." I take the paper and nod as I hug mom again trying so hard to reassure her. I feel fearful but I don't dare say, nor do anything that would get mom worried. I get off the bed and go into my room still feeling hot but strangely it isn't the fever. I lay down in my bed and go to sleep waiting for the next day to come. When the morning came I did the usual and put the number in my coat pocket. Mom still looks anxious and dad is trying to coax her to not worry so much. My brother walks out and says, "I wish I could guard her more but I'm in a different building then she is."

I sigh and say, "I'll be fine really." Dad just smiles at my validation and we all went to work and school. I make it in before breakfast and eat. Tina walks over with something strange in her hands. I ask, "Tina what is that?"

She smiles and says, "It's a friendship treat will you have one?"

I look at it and it seems harmless enough. I take a small bite and almost instantly pass out. I could hear Tina in the background yelling, "TARANEE! WAKE UP!"

All goes black once again I feel near to feeling no life left in me. I hear a voice saying, "Taranee you can't die yet you have a destiny to fulfill yet. You'll wake up soon."

I feel really hot again and see white flames. I sweat and remember the time when I was very small and went to get ice cream with my parents. I groan and suddenly find myself in a hospital mom instantly hugs me while saying; "OH MY BABY IS AWAKE!" Dad and Peter look angry and upset at themselves. I hope they don't do anything too strenuous. Mom sighs and just looks at me with worried eyes. I cry saying, "Mommy please don't quit you need it to be happy. Tina didn't mean to hurt me really."

She hugs me saying, "I won't Taranee not yet." We all head back home and I relax as I lay on the couch to sleep.
