A Forbidden Love:
Meet the Princess, End her Life
By: Silver Dream
This chapter is about the meet of Salem and Cornelia... hmm... I wonder what will happen. Cat fight... meow...
Disclaimers: I do not own W.I.T.C.H. or anything related to it, so shut up! I mean, read on…
Cornelia's POV:
I waited. My friends shuffled around me. Moving about. While I, alone, sat near the open
window. Will walked over to me and placed her hand on my shoulder. "Cornelia… I gotta tell you
something. About Caleb… well, I just want you to be happy. I think you guys are perfect together.
I don't stand a chance with him." I smiled at her. I wondered how hard it was for her to tell my that.
But she was right. She didn't stand a chance. Yet, I did not either. Caleb had his new love, and I
had my friends. I had my family. What am I saying? I have no one. I'll be alone. I'll be alone when I
die, save the thirty or more cats that will over run my lonely home. But for now, I'll have my friends,
just until Caleb comes back. Then I'll bust his chops for cheating on me! But what if he didn't cheat
on me? What if I was just dreaming? Maybe… yeah! Caleb's not like that. He's perfect.
Caleb's POV:
Yan Lin dialed the phone. "Hello Mrs. Vandom. Is Will and the other girls there?" There was a
small pause and then she said, "Oh, thank you." "Where are they?" I asked. "At Cornelia's." My
heart sank. Cornelia. The beautiful girl that loved me. Loved me so much that she'd probably kill
herself for me. But I don't know anything anymore. I love Salem. But I love Cornelia, too. I think
I'm going to go crazy. "Hello Mrs. Hale, can you please tell the girls to come to the Silver Dragon?
Thank you, very much." Yan Lin smiled. "They're coming, Caleb. Salem, are you ready?" She
nodded, though it looked fake. "Alright, the girls will probably be here in about ten minutes. So you
two can sit here." Yan Lin ushered us toward a small table and we waited. "You'll be fine. They'll
love you." I reassured Salem. Suddenly, the door swung open and five girls busted into the
restaurant. "Grandma! We're here! What did you want to tell us?" Hay Lin shouted, making many
of the customers uneasy. Just like me. I had no idea of what Cornelia would do. But I guess I'd
have to find out.
Cornelia's POV:
I entered the restaurant hoping to see Caleb alone, and waiting to hold me in his arms. But as
usually, I was wrong. Sitting next to Caleb was a girl. She had long black hair, green eyes, a red
dress… hey! That girl! I'm going to kill her! No one takes Caleb from me! I love him more than the
air we breathe! I walked straight over to Caleb and asked, "Hello, Caleb, whose your friend. I
placed m hands on my hips and glared at the girl. Hay Lin walked right over and took the girl's
hand. "Nice to meet you! I'm Hay Lin. And you are?" The girl smiled. "I'm Salem. Nice to meet
you to." Hay Lin looked at Salem and Caleb. "Are you with Caleb?" Salem nodded. What! So it is
true! She's going to pay… but, if Caleb likes her, I can't take away his happiness, even if I
love him… "Hi, I'm Irma, the world's eighth wonder. Nice to meet you, Salem." Taranee stepped
up. "Nice to meet you, too. I'm Taranee." Salem gave her a smile also. "Hey, I'm Will, and it's nice
to meet you, too." Finally, Salem's eyes met with mine. "You're that girl…" She said. "What?" I
said back angrily.
Salem's POV:
That girl. The girl in my black out. She was crying. The girl glared at me. I quickly said, "Um…
never mind. You are?" She looked at Caleb. "I'm Cornelia. I bet Caleb told you all about me." I
smiled. Caleb never said one thing about a girl named Cornelia. "Oh, well, I guess, uh, nice to meet
you Cornelia." She looked really mad at something. Huh. Mrs. Lin walked over to us and told them
all to sit. "Girls. Today we have a very special person with us. Salem is actually a princess. She's
Princess of Meridian." Gasps formed all around me. "But I though Elyon was the only princess."
Will asked. "Yes, but Salem is Phobos' daughter." Everyone gasped again. "Salem, would you be
so kind as to tell us your story?" I nodded and told the girls everything that happened. "Wow. You
must have had a hard life." Hay Lin said. "Yeah, I guess I did." Irma laughed, "At least you've got
cooler wings than us!" They laughed, except for Cornelia. The girls told me their powers, and they
told me how cool it was for me to have so many different powers. Sweet Caleb told them about
how we met each other and how I saved him. Then he kissed me right in front of them all. Cornelia
seemed to grow redder than a rose . She said, "Salem, I'd like to show you something. Can you
meet me in the alley outside?" Then she walked out.
Caleb's POV:
Cornelia wants to meet Salem out side? This has bad written all over it.
Cornelia's POV:
I hated how my friends treated Salem like she was famous. It's not like we were fighting to get
her back. It's not like she's our best friend. But I was going to tell her who was meant for Caleb.
Not her, not Will. Caleb liked me before he knew her. I was going to make her pay. "Salem. I'm
glad you could join me." I smiled as she came out of the restaurant. "Yeah, so, what did you want
to show me?" I pulled her into the alley. "I wanted to show you my earth powers!" Even without
Will transforming her, Cornelia's power fed off her anger. She was even more powerful than when
in Guardian form. Suddenly, a thick root sprung out of the ground and wrapped around my neck.
The others ran out of the restaurant and screamed. "Cornelia what are you doing!" They all
screamed unison. "Help me." I know. I could had easily broke the root. I could had easily defeated
Cornelia and ran back into Caleb's arms. But I didn't. I realized that Caleb wasn't mine. I saw how
Cornelia looked at him when she wasn't glaring at me. I felt love for Caleb that Cornelia has felt ten
times more. So I let her strangle me. Even though killing me wouldn't help her with Caleb. But still.
Dying by the hand of Cornelia would make me feel much better than dying next to Caleb when were
old and grey. Cornelia's friends transformed and used their powers on her, but she didn't budge.
Caleb tried his best to stop her, but Cornelia floated high into the air with her rage. I listened to their
screams and cries. "Put her down Cornelia! Stop! Please, leaver her alone!" Then I saw Will. She
was clinging on to Caleb like he was her's. Than I heard her say, "Caleb, I've always loved you,
but you are Cornelia's. I'll have to forget my love for you, it's the only way for you to stop Cornelia
and save Salem." The Prophesy. One will have to forget her love or fight with her closest
friend. That must be Will. Cornelia must be the one that shows her love to Caleb. Hmm, so I
mustbe the one that sacrifices her life, to make Caleb happy. Oh, well. My world was
becoming dark. Screams filled what was left of my hearing. "Salem!" Caleb cried. He threw trash
can lids at Cornelia but they all hadn't noticed that I had used my remaining power to make a force
field around her. "Noo!" Caleb screamed out, as the last bit of light left my world."
Caleb's POV:
How could she? How could Cornelia kill her like that? Salem didn't do anything to her. Now
my life is empty. Now I am alone. Yan Lin walked over to Cornelia and waved her hand. "There
was a force field around her." She waved her hand again and Cornelia floated down unconscious.
The root let go of Salem, and she fell limp to the ground. "No, Salem!" I ran over to her. She was
cold. Her soft skin was cold. She was dead. "How could Cornelia do something like this? She
killed Salem!" The girls bent down next to me. Irma put a hand on my shoulder. "Caleb, Cornelia
loves you. Girls do crazy things when they're in love." The comedian was right. Cornelia was in love
with me. And I guess girls do crazy things. But killing someone? Because of love? That was far to
crazy for me to handle. I picked up Salem and ran. I ignored the girls' calls, "Caleb come back
here! You've got a dead person in your arms!" But I didn't care. I just kept on running. I ran until I
came to I big tree. I placed Salem's body down and whispered, "I'm sorry Salem. I didn't know
this was going to happen. I'm so sorry." Then I sat down next to her and slowly drifted to sleep.
