Xakinera: I want Nerissa to leave Cornelia alone too, but it's my dumb brain and hands that do the story! Yes, I am from England, and my SATs are next week!
Celestial Dragon Rider: I didn't really realise it was short, but it's all good! Thanks!
Only two reviews for this chapter:'( Very upsetting, but I hope to do better in this one!
Chapter 7: Savin' Me (Nickelback)
Cornelia whacked the stone prison painfully. She didn't feel the pain, after what she had suffered over just one day was too much. But Cornelia knew she had to hold on. For W.I.T.C.H's sake, for Caleb. She would scream in pain and agony, but the only voice that was heard was her echo through the dark, murky corridors.
Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands
and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified
of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I
need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for
you
Hurry I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Caleb had his head in his hands brushing his hands through his hair. He was sitting on a broken log in the Meridian forests, searching for Cornelia. Aldarn said that he saw her enter the forest crying about 2 hours ago. He hadn't seen her since, so every one was starting to get worried.
"Guys, LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!!" the guardians and Caleb all heard Hay Lin's high-pitched voice, so they all ran towards it. They stood in a circle with Hay Lin around a little shiny gold thing in the long grass.
Caleb bent down and picked it up. He almost cried when he figured out what it was. He stood up, clutching the object.
"Caleb? Are you OK? What is it?" Irma asked, walking up to Caleb and putting her hand on his shoulder for comfort. He turned around slowly and started crying.
"It's Cornelia's necklace. I gave it to her for her birthday. She never takes it off. Ever."
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
"Somebody! Help! CALEB!" Cornelia screamed as the huge Khor threw her from wall to wall. She had yet to see Nerissa since she was kidnapped, and, although she hated thinking about it, the more she Caleb wasn't with her to help her, the less she bothered to stop them.
Show me what it's like
To be the last one
standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I
can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life
behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me
Nerissa knew Cornelia was going to give in. After everything Cornelia had put her though, Nerissa wanted her to be destroyed slowly, and painfully. She smirked as Cornelia was lying on the ground, breathing heavily. The same thoughts were running through her head as if it was a broken film wheel replaying the same part of the movie again and again.
He's gonna come for me, he's gonna come for me, he's gonna come for me.

"CORNY?!" "CORNELIA!" the guardians and Caleb were searching everywhere for their missing Earth guardian. They were at the mountains, the most likely place Nerissa would've taken Cornelia.
Taranee and Caleb were halfway into the misty caves, having an awkward silence. Taranee was using her knowledge of fire to light their pathway. They suddenly came across something they had never seen before, thousands of doors leading to what looked like thousands of rooms.
"What-What is this? Rooms for what?" Taranee asked herself, moving her hand around to see every old fashioned door. Caleb moved towards one of the doors and peered through the tiny window. There was nothing inside, literally. No beds, no tables or chairs, just walls and large rocks.
"Taranee, these aren't rooms," Caleb said, stepping back, "They're cells!"
They called the others and together Will, Irma, Taranee, Caleb and Hay Lin all walked through the lonely corridors, spotting a few skeletons on the way. They didn't know what they were looking for, but they all had a feeling that Cornelia and Nerissa was close.
Their theory was right as Will groaned and the guardians changed back to normal. Taranee's flame was slowly fading, so the guardians and Caleb knew they had to be quick.
"What happened? Our powers are fading! I can hardly make hurricanes!" Hay Lin moaned, demonstrating a mini hurricane in the palm of her hand. Taranee was sweating trying to keep the flame alight so they could see, but it was getting hard.
"I…I ca…can't hold it… much longer!" Taranee struggled to get it out, and Will knew that the guardians had to go back before they lost all their powers completely.
"We can't go on. We might lose all of our powers and then what are we gonna do when we come face to face with Nerissa? Sorry guys." Will explained disappointedly, and looked down. The others looked down too, but Caleb wasn't going to give up.
"No. I'll go. I don't have powers, let me go and find Cornelia. Please. I am not going to leave her here!" he asked coldly, as if he was going to kill Nerissa at first sight. The others looked at him worriedly, but they knew they couldn't argue with the Earth guardian's boyfriend.
"Fine, but you need a light or something. You can't go like that." Just as Will said this, Caleb took two rocks and a stick nearby and lit the stick to make a torch (you know, like what cave people do and everything)
"Ok then, well, now that that's sorted, good luck, Caleb. We'll be outside when you come out." Will added and patted Caleb on the shoulder sympathetically, as did the rest, but Hay Lin hugged him.
"Good luck, Caleb. I know you'll find her."
The guardians disappeared from Caleb's sight as he turned around and walked towards the destination, wherever that was.

Cornelia was lying on the solid rock hard floor. She kept telling herself she wouldn't give in, though it was getting a lot harder to believe it. She had been crying for ages, and her mascara was dripping down her face. All of this makes me wish I was dead she kept telling herself. She looked as though she had been mauled and survived. Scratches were all up her arms because of trying to get out, scratches, black eyes and bruises were on her face from Khor throwing her about as if she was a toy that no one liked.
Hurry I'm fallin' All I need is you
Come
please I'm callin'
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin',
I'm fallin', I'm fallin'
That was it. Cornelia couldn't put up with this anymore. She had to leave- one way or another. "Are you happy now?! I give up! That's it! I can't do this anymore! Do… your… WORST!!" Cornelia shouted to no one in particular. She knew Nerissa was out there.
As Nerissa heard this comment, it seemed the only thing she could do was smirk. "At last. I finally have my revenge!" she laughed, holding an ancient knife tightly…
OMG! What's going to happen? Please tell me, because I have no idea where I'm going with this. This may be the last time I update anything before my SATs! I have 5 days to go! Ahh! So sorry! I seem to like exclamation marks now! Bye! AND REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!
