Chapter Nine The Seeds of Anger
Ok, thanks everyone for being so patient. My computer malfunctioned so I had to post my last chapter two days late and I'm juggling two stories at the same time so it's taking a while. They might not be so good either. I might have some spelling errors. Ones that my spell check won't pick up. Like these:
Eye half a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh.
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.
If you can't decipher it, let me know! Now, time for the story (pssst, I'm stalling because I don't know what to write)! Did you know my team in school raised $600 for Free the Children funds? We are helping providing water sanitations for countries such as Kenya, Sri Lanka, China (where I'm from!), and Sierra Leone. Go to for more information. I earned $70 today for selling snacks at our basketball game for TWO WHOLE HOURS. I could see the moon out by the time I got back. Which isn't saying much considering it's winter. Okay, now ON with the story.
I've decided to try something new. This is Will's point of view. I feel like I've been leaving her out a bit.
The others look like it's no big deal. I don't think they understand. This is serious. Cornelia has to control her abilities. What if she turns into an electro freak too? Hey, you never know. I can totally see Cornelia arguing with her TV. Still, I have a Heart, myself. I would know about these things.
"Hey, Cornelia," I say without thinking. "Why don't we go back to practice today? We can see how well you can make folds and Astral Drops and stuff."
"Sure." Cornelia shrugs. "Why not?"
The others nod in agreement but Matt and Caleb look hesitant. "Does this include us?" Caleb inquires. "I'm only saying this because, you know, I've got no superpowers and we never go to your practice things anyway."
"Sure, you guys can come." Hay Lin winks at Will and Cornelia. "That is, if you want to."
The place we practice is this abandoned…area that's perfect for us because it's away from people, it's got a lake, and plenty of grass (which, apart from helping Cornelia, also gave us a soft landing when we were still working on our flying). Plus it's under this bridge that people forgot to repair or something so we have almost zero chances of being seen. That's another problem (two of the things I hate about the W.I.T.C.H. episodes, is that a.) they change and battle on top of a building or something where they totally could be easily spotted and b.) they would fall from some evil bad guy and get up a few seconds later even though in real life, a person would be at least out cold.)
"See?" Cornelia closed the fold. "Folding is easy." For some reason, I'm not all that happy about that. why did everything come so easily to Cornelia? It took me practically forever to establish the fact that I was leader, but what if she replaces me? I know, I know, she's had more experience now but I can't help but feel a little paranoid.
"Cool." Why is Hay Lin always sooo enthusiastic? I mean, a little calming down never hurt anyone. Overexcitement, however, I'm sure killed a lot of people. I just can't think of any right at this moment. "Hey, you think you can teleport too?" Great, teleportation and telekinesis.
"I'm not sure," Cornelia replies. "I definitely think it enhances my other abilities though."
"It enhances ours too," Taranee couldn't help adding. "Remember when Nerissa used the old guardians to fight us?" How can I forget? "Well she used the Heart of Meridian and Zamaballa to juice them up. Now, our flying has been faster, our strength doubled, and we've definitely increased power."
Whoopee. I'm so glad I have a best friend who knows everything. Or not. It's like one Heart isn't enough or something. Like mine is too weak but now that Cornelia came in to help, it's all fine.
God, I am getting so cynical. That can't be healthy. I've got to lighten up, have some fun! Problem is, I think I'm having less fun than a turkey on Thanksgiving.
There! I've got the conflict for Will. Still stuck on Taranee. Sorry I'm a little behind schedule today. I've done TWO CHAPTERS for my other story.
Hobbit69-I'd rather be an elf. I wanna be perfect. I am obsessed with Greek myths. That book, Greek Mythology, is real. Forgot the author though but my school library has three copies of it! I love Artemis! I can't figure out why her brother's full name is Phoebus Apollo (and Pallas Athena) though.
