Yet again! Apparentlyafter school is better for me than Saturdays!
I really hope that if you read this you plan to reveiw. I know that so far it's basically almost copyright stuff, but that is only until the girls 'find out'. Then s*** goes down!
It only takes the grant of one wish for change..
To wish that nothing had changed at all.
"It's just tea. It's just tea. It's just tea!" Will muttered to herself as she shoveled out piles of clothes - still in their moving boxes. "I can wear anything, it doesn't matter..."
"Though it'd help if I owned something!" She threw another top behind her, "If only I looked a little more-" She caught a glance at herself in the mirror. That was not her body. She looked older. Taller. More busty..
"Will!" Her mother opened the door.
"Aaaghh! Don't come in! Don't look at me!" Will picked up and clung to an orange sweater. She looked from her mother's blank face to the mirror. Her boyish physique had returned. "Oh."
"Will, I thought you said you were going out tonight?" Her mother raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah.. I am!" Will pulled a pair of jeans on. She wasn't the type to be fashionable late anyway. She wasn't even the type to be fashionable. It was just the way that Cornelia Hale had looked at her. It didn't really matter.
"So.. Will. Where did you move from?" Taranee broke the silence that had enveloped the group ever since Will had arrived.
"Well, I-"
Cornelia rolled her eyes and flicked her hair slightly. "Hello! Who cares! Have you guys noticed a bunch of weird stuff going on around me lately!"
Irma gasped and everyone looked up at her, "Oh dear!" She feigned shock, "The conversation has accidentally wandered away from Cornelia's life! What ever were we thinking!"
Cornelia pulled a face as the rest of the room snickered at the comment. At that moment, an old woman entered the room and beamed at the girls, "Enjoying the food?"
Everyone began to give their appreciation, and Will heard Hay Lin refer to her as grandma. Irma then turned to the still pouting Cornelia. "But the important thing is, how are you enjoying you're food?" Gaining a few smirks from her audience.
"You will make a new best friend." Will quietly read out her fortune, then slipped a peice of cookie into her mouth. Her eyes wandered over to Irma who was currently giving her a subtle wink.
"What that in the box Grandma?" Will's gaze flashed to Hay Lin, and then to the box on the table.
"I have a story to tell you girls." Hay Lin looked up at Grandma with startled embarrassment and opened her mouth to complain, "I beleive it will have a special meaning to all of you."
The woman waved her hand through the air, creating an impossible swirl of cloud, which in turn formed an image recognisable as the universe.
"The universe was once a single kingdom. Ruled over by good." the room seemed to dim around them and Will began to feel a little dizzy as the cloudy pictues moved and changed. "Until evil began to take root. A veil was created. To isolate the worlds left with hope from an evil located in a place called Meridan." The name sent a chill up Will's spine. "Without the veil, every planet; including earth, is in terrible danger."
"Metamoor has been taken over by a powerful entity, named Phobos." The old woman began stroking and doodling swirls on the top of the box absent-mindedly, noticed only by Will. "But it is beleived that the true heir; his sister, remaines alive. Somewhere here on Earth."
"Can I wake up now?" Irma asked timidly, only half joking.
"Tears; portals from worl to world, have begun opening in the veil." Yan Lin did not seem fazed as behind her, electric blue fizzled. "Doorways, from which these evils can escape. Into our world."
"Guardians, are people who are given powers over elements. It is their job, to close these portals." With a snap of her fingers the room returned to normal. "This duty is now yours."
"Well, thanks for the snacks!" Cornelia stood to leave, but was hushed by Yan Lin and sat back down. Will, however, didn't notice; the box was practically asking her to open it.
As if hearing the girl's thoughts, Yan Lin's fingers glazed over the box before clicking the seal open and pulling off the lid with care. "This," Will's brown eyes became glued to the necklace the woman then removed from the box. "Is the Heart of Kandrakar."
"It contains the elementary forces of nature. The key to your power." Yan Lin glanced at the mesmerized red head and smiled. "Recently you have all had some out of the ordinary experiences."
"Not, counting this one?" Irma joked; her words came out in a slight stutter.
"Irma." Wrinkled black eyes made contact with fearful blues. "You will notice certain abilities.. Of manipulating water."
"Yeah, sorry, but that's just not.. Logical." Taranee commented, pushing her glasses closer to her face.
"Taranee. Your power will become stronger than your fear," the young girl gulped, "Of fire."
"My little Hay Lin." Yan Lin beamed down at the tiny girl. "You rule the air, as once did I!" The young girl quivered, unsure of how to answer.
"To you Cornelia," all eyes focused on where the blonde was sat. She looked a little ill, as well as startled. "The power over the earth and it's companions."
"All five of you, will get better with your powers over time. I hope."
Irma raised an eyebrow. "Uh.. did you say five?"
Will cringed at the sudden spotlight effect Irma's words had had. "Um.. Hate to dissapoint you, but I can't even do that trick where it looks like your thumbs come apart!" She laughed uneasily.
"One of the five, binds the others. With the Heart of Kandrakar, she leads and unites them, summoning and magnifying their powers. With this she released the Heart, which floated down toward Will.
"Recap! We have to protect the world from evil, by fixing some holes in some veil!"
"This doesn't include sowing does it?" Irma's sarcasm flowed naturally. Cornelia sat quietly, watching the ordeal. "But seriously. This. Is. So cool! when do we start!"
"You already have. There is a rebellion in Meridian. Their leader is in danger. I fear a dark and difficult time is coming." the woman had become somber. She put her hand on the shoulder of Will, who had stood up to get away from the floating necklace. She spoke softly as she pulled the tie over Will's neck. "You have been chosen. As the new guardians of the veil."
