I'm sorry. I don't own W.I.T.C.H. magazine or tv. Serie so... this could not be what is happening on either of them. (what am I saying? This is not going to happend in either of them!!)
Chapter 10: Sudden and misterious attack.
Soon after that day, guardians were called again. This time it was to put Phobos and Cedric under an unreversable charm turning them into common humans. Not a single drop of magical blood would run through their veins again, and they would not be able to break it. For a weird reason, Phobos accepted it. Cedric didn't accepted it, but he was forced as punishment.
However, even with those two not being a menace anymore, the universe would not be in peace.
Cedric was given an identity, so even if the best detective in the world would look for any tip of him being illegal he would not find it. Same went for Phobos, his surname was changed from Banks to Blanks, anyway, he kept on being related to Isabelle who already had a earth identity herself.
A week after that, Cedric remembered nearly nothing about his past life thanks for petition of the light and darkness guardian that knew he was suffering as knowing what has been took from him. Anyway, Phobos kept a remember of his past life as prince.
Then Hai Lin's greatmother appeared on her grandaughter dreams to advise them about something else happening, how ever... she was never able to end the advise cause something happened and the conection broke.
The following day, Will appeared ill on the corridor of the school speaking on the phone. Her face was covered in sweat and she was as tied with invisible ropes.
Next time it was Irma who appeared like that when she was at the bathroom when she was suposed to be watering her face. Same signs like Will.
Then was when the guardians were called to Kandrakar, better said, then took Will and Cornelia there looking for answers. However, the connection between both dimentions seemed to be inposible.
"Ok, now what are we suposed to do?" Taranee said. "Wait here and wait till what ever causes this finds us?"
"I think she is right." Caleb said "We can't wait for it to get us."
"And by the way, what is this making?" Hai Lin said.
"And who?!" Cornelia said.
"I don't know either, but... I know someone who perhaps could help us." She said looking around.
"Oh, no." Cornelia said. "No, no and definetively no!"
"If you are refering to Phobos..." Hai Lin said.
"He is the only one who knows about evil enough for helping us." Isa said.
"And now he has nothing else to lose." Caleb said. "I don't like the idea of asking him for information either, but... it seems it's our only chance."
The guardians looked at eachother.
"So you think I could answer the question, isn't it?" Phobos said.
He was laying at the sofa trying to watch tv. When the full gang arrived spoiling him all the peace.
"Phobos, we really need help." Isabelle said then. "Please, we really need your help."
"I told you it was pointless." Cornelia said. "He is as evil as always. He has not changed Isa."
"Ok, let me have a look." Phobos said turning the tv. off. "I'll see what I can do."
He then took a deep look at the two sleeping guardians, trying to move their hands and legs but proving to be not posible, he then had a look at them as if he was a doctor.
"Hummm... doesn't look good." Phobos said. "Seems as an old trick I already used on the Heart keeper Guardian, but I don't know who did it..." he said standing up. "It makes the person see the future, something not always pleasant."
"And do you know how to awake them?" Isabelle said.
"Nop." Phobos said. "But I can give a hand in exchange of something."
"You cheeky...!!" Cornelia said trying to get him to beat him up and being holded by Taranee, Hai Lin and Isabelle.
"We don't trade with you." Caleb said.
"Ok, up to you." Phobos said.
"Phobos, please..." Isa said releasing Cornelia who straightened her clothes.
"Ok... I'll do it." He said giving up. "I'll give you a hand if you promis me something."
Cornelia wanted to hit him again but was again holded by the girls and Caleb while Isa looked at Phobos.
"What?" Isa asked.
"Something easy." He said. "I want a week free of cleaning stuff and I want a date."
"A what?!" all asked confused.
"A Date." He said. "I have not had one since... too long."
"Done, but for the date." Isa said. "I don't think anyone who would..."
"It's not anyone who I want, it's her." He said pointing to Will.
"She would never accept." Hai Lin said. "Matt."
"No, no!" Phobos said. "Not Will! Irma!"
"Irma?" the rest said.
"Well, she is not going out with anyone special." Taranee said.
"You know she will never want to hang around with him." Cornelia said.
"Ok." Isa said making the rest astonished. "If you help us to save them, and we save them... I can promis you will be free of house cleaning dutyes."
"Not cooking either." He added.
"Not cooking either." Isa added. "And we will ask Irma about that date. If she refused... then I would have a single date with you. Do you have a trade?"
"Hum..." Phobos said thinking. "Ok, we have a trade." He said smiling.
"Now tell us how to make them come back." Isa said.
"I have an idea." He said. "But I need magic for it."
"I'll do it then." Cornelia said. "We are not giving you the slight drop of magic."
"And also a cuple of volunteers." Phobos said taking a glass of water. "She is going to make you sleep and fall into the same state than the rest. If you get out with them... it's up to you." He said as he drak some water.
"I'll do then." Isabelle said.
"I'm going too." Orube said. "Who ever did this was looking for guardians, I'm not one so if I fail there would not be such a great lost as loosing any of you."
"We leave our safety on your hands." Isa said then serious and worried.
"Ok." Phobos said then "Ready for fighting your futures?"
"I am." Orube said.
"Me too." Isa said with great selfconfidence.
"Cornelia, the charm please." Phobos asked her.
"Phobos." Isa said then softly. "I trust you."
Then Orube and her fell asleep looking as death.
"I'm worried..." Hai Lin said with a worried face. "I wonder if they will be able to stand whatever they are going under..."
"Cornelia, please." Caleb said putting his hand on her shoulder softly. "Concentrate hard on it."
"I hope for your well being that this doesn't hurt them." Taranee said. "Or you will lose something more than your powers."
"How would I fail the only person around here trusting me?" Phobos muttered to himself.
