HAHAHA! If you thought Will was evil then what about me? I left you with another cliffhanger.
And think, who could have a mind so twisted to make Will that evil?
MUHAHAHAHA!
Enjoy!
Chapter 10 Divide and Conquer
It was completely dark.
"Where am I?" Will wondered.
She then felt a familiar tingle and turned around.
It was a sort of mirror that was hanging in the darkness.
But it wasn't showing her reflection.
It showed a place and people.
Will looked at it with great shock.
She saw herself laughing and hurting other people, like her friends!
But it all happened in a sort of slow-motion.
"This is exactly like that dream." Will muttered to herself.
Suddenly a noise was heard and Will turned around.
She saw two dark red eyes looking at her from the dark.
"Well, well, well. All transformed and powerful. But also trapped in my power." the voice said.
"You!" Will said angrily.
Then she noticed what the voice had said and asked: "Transformed? Powerful? Trapped? What the hell are you talking about?"
"Oh? So we don't know what's happening?"
the voice said teasingly.
"You'd better answer," Will said threatening.
"Or else? I'm now in control of your body!" the voice said and a laugh was heard.
"You are in a room I made. It is partly in your mind and partly in the Heart of Candracar.
This makes the time you spend in here longer than it is in reality."
Will could feel the fear that 'her other self' was spreading but she didn't feared her.
"Well host, I've got a couple of things to ask.
What have you planned to stop me? And what have you told the black girl?"
Will looked skeptically even though DW couldn't see her and said: "I'm not telling you and her name is Taranee!"
"Why not?" DW asked casually.
"Because I want to surprise you." Will said with a grin.
Will could hear DW mutter and curse under her breath before the latter spoke again.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Have fun in your prison!" DW spat before disappearing.
Will was alone again.
She could only look at the mirror but didn't want to.
"I wish that there was some light or something." Will said annoyed.
Then it hit her.
"I've still got my powers!"
Will tried to create a little energy ball but it came out at the size of a football.
"Wow! I didn't want it to be this big." Will said looking in awe at her energy ball.
But she released it nonetheless.
Now she could see the 'chamber' she was in.
It was a dreary room with well counted two doors.
A bed of hay was put in a corner and another mirror was visible.
The mirror was tall enough to see your whole body in it.
Will walked up to that mirror and saw herself.
But she was shocked at what she saw.
She saw a girl, no, a woman with blazing, blood colored hair.
Her hair was in the same way as in her Guardian self.
She was also wearing her Guardian outfit but the colors were different.
Her top, pants and boots were a brilliant pink while her symbol and 'skirt' were white-ish blue. (color of lightning).
She was wearing gloves made of pure electricity.
Her wings were the same Guardian wings but only looked they more like angel wings.
But the feature that had shocked Will the most were her eyes.
They were bright pink.
"Just like the person I saw in my dream. But without a scar" Will said while touching her own reflection.
"D-D-Does this mean… That I'm the Chosen One and the One with No Name?" she said in shock.
Suddenly she felt a power surging through her body, a power greater than she ever felt before.
"So this is what 'she' meant with transformed and powerful." Will said in a rather glad tone.
"But that doesn't mean trapped."
She turned to a door and blasted it with all her might.
But the door simply absorbed the power.
Will tried a couple of times when she finally gave up.
"Never mind that." She said darkly blowing some of her hair out of her face, causing a couple of energy currents to go across her hair.
Trying to think of something to get out of her 'mind room' Will felt something.
The new energy she had, started to hurt her.
She had to find a way of using her new energy or she would go insane.
Will started walking up and down the room.
"I'm going insane if I can't do anything!" she screamed.
Then a memory came to her.
"If you ever have too much energy for the first time, you can go insane." Xin Jing had said.
"If something like this happens then it would be for the best that you tried to learn how to control your new energy.
In other words, train."
Will smiled at that memory. It was one of the first things Xin Jing had said to her before they started training.
"Well, it's a good thing that I listened." she said and started to try and master her new found energy.
She discovered that she could use the other elements and also started experimenting with them.
"Taranee would scold me if she knew about it, but there is no other way at the moment." Will said creating a fireball and directing it through the room.
She felt that it was straining her powers but she kept going.
A couple of times Will looked in the mirror which showed her the real world.
She saw that the girls were having a bit of trouble with their new powers and of course defeating 'her'.
But it didn't look terrible so she continued training.
She became even faster and stronger than before but that didn't worry her.
After what seemed weeks but were only two hours on Earth, Will stopped training.
"I think that I should stop here. It's not the right time to try and control my full powers."
She looked through her chamber and wanted to do something.
"Now I have to figure out how to get out of here." she said before felt something.
It was as if her real body had hit something hard and she heard thunder roaring.
She quickly walked to the mirror she first saw, and saw that everyone was in Candracar.
"Just like I planned." Will said in a glad tone.
But then her face turned into a worried one.
She saw herself, or as she saw it, the bad persona laughing maniacally and sending some pure thunder at Cornelia.
"That isn't looking pretty." Will mumbled.
"I've got to help them! They don't know or feel their new powers!
I JUST GOT TO HELP THEM!"
Suddenly the left door went slightly open and Will could hear the thoughts of the other girls.
*Really, why is she so strong?* Will heard Irma think.
*It isn't fair.*
Will shook her head with a smile and then knew how to help them.
She quickly ran up to the door and tried to open it further.
But the door wouldn't budge.
"Then I'll try this." Will said and tried to relax herself.
She focused on her heart and then on the faces of the rest of W.I.T.C.H.
"Listen to your hearts, feel the power. Embrace it!" Will said in an urgent tone.
The door then slammed shut but it was enough.
Will turned to the mirror and saw the girls first looking at each other confused when suddenly the right door flung open behind her.
"That was your doing, wasn't it?" DW said angrily.
Will didn't turn around.
She shrugged and said: "Yeah so?"
Dark Will first wanted to say something nasty but then changed her mind.
"Could you please stay out of this?" she said in a dangerous sweet voice.
"I gave you everything I promised I would. What do you want more?"
Will turned around and Dark Will could clearly see two angry looking pink eyes.
For some reason it made Dark Will shiver.
"What about my body?" Will said angrily.
"Now don't push it!" Dark Will said with a dark look on her face.
She shot a dark blast at Will which hit her in the stomach.
Will heard Dark Will laughing before leaving.
Will tried to get up, her whole body was aching.
"I have to agree with you there Irma, she is strong." Will said.
She sat on her bed.
"Okay, she didn't notice that I've been experimenting with my powers." Will said glad.
"But that door opened when I wanted to help the girls… Maybe I can find a clue in this chamber."
Will searched through the room.
The only clues she found were the words 'Body', 'Mind', an equal sign and the number 1 that were scribbled on the walls.
"What is this crap?" Will said angrily.
"I wish I could ask Taranee, she is better in this stuff."
Then she thought that if she couldn't get out of this prison, she would never speak to Taranee again.
A feeling of desperation came over her.
"This is hopeless." Will said, shaking her head in defeat.
She was just sighing and sobbing when she heard something.
"TIME TO END THIS!"
Will's head shot up and looked at the mirror.
And what she saw wasn't good.
The girls were lying on the ground and she saw Dark Will calling the sword.
"Crap! This isn't going well!
I need to help them. I can't give up now!" Will said determined when suddenly the left door opened a little.
*We're toast!* she could hear Cornelia think.
"No you're not." Will said grim and walked to the door.
She concentrated again on her own heart and on the faces of W.I.T.C.H. but her words didn't reach the others.
*I'm sorry for failing you, Will* she heard Taranee think.
"NO! Taranee! You haven't failed me! You can still win!" Will screamed.
She concentrated again but this time she was more determined.
"Search your hearts and call the names!" she said.
This time she knew the others had heard her.
She felt a powerful wind and turned around.
The right door was open!
Will didn't think twice before turning to the door.
Will ran up to it but when she tried to get out she was stopped by some sort of force field.
The farther she ran from the door the more she got hurt.
She ran as far as she could but it was far enough.
She got the control of her body back!
At least she could speak and stop the slash of her sword.
She saw the girls looking in fright at her but the worst thing was that they weren't doing anything.
"What are you waiting for?
A written invitation?" Will said annoyed.
"Are you the real Will?" Irma asked looking in shock at her.
"Yes, but hurry I can't keep it up for long." Will said while feeling her grip lessen.
The girls nodded and stood up.
Will saw them concentrating.
The girls then stuck out their hands and shouted at the same time the names of their weapons.
Will nodded approvingly before her face started to twist in an angry grimace.
Will shot back to her room, her 'body' was aching all over but she was happy.
Now they could have a chance.
Will lay on her bed with a satisfying smile and tried to get some sleep when suddenly the right door flung open.
"STAY OUT OF THIS!" Dark Will roared as she grabbed Will at her neck.
"I'm now the master!"
Will just looked at her copy with a faint laugh.
"Just keep believing." she said with a smirk.
Dark Will screamed in a fury at Will and threw her through the room.
Only this time it didn't hurt.
"Just you wait. I'm not going to kill your precious friends now.
No, I have someone else in mind." Dark Will said maliciously before walking away.
"Someone else?" Will said frightened.
She hurried to the mirror to look what was going to happen.
She saw that Dark Will was slowly advancing to William while the girls were paralyzed.
Will's eyes widened even more when she saw that Matt was running to William to save him from the sword.
Will saw this and felt an anger rise in her.
"How could she?" Will said angrily, not looking at the mirror.
Maybe she should look in the mirror because right when the sword would touch Matt a light appeared.
"I'm not going to stay here!" Will said and looked at the doors.
"I WILL save them! Even if I have to give my life for it!"
Suddenly the two doors started to merge and that door opened.
Will just knew that it would be the door to the real world, to her world and ran to the opening.
Body and Mind became one.
Now where we left off.
Matt jumped in front of William in an attempt to save him.
*If I can't save Will than I can at least try to save her brother!* he thought.
Matt prepared for the slash but it didn't come.
He opened his eyes and saw that a bright light had stopped DW on the spot, with the sword at mere inches of his face.
Matt (and the others) tried to look in the bright light and noticed that he could see perfectly what was happening.
The Heart of Candracar came out of Will's chest and started to shine.
Suddenly Will's body disappeared and the sword started to glow too.
Everyone saw that the Heart and the sword were dividing themselves.
The Heart divided itself in its normal colored form and in a dark Heart.
The sword divided itself in its dark and light colored form.
The dark Heart flew back to the spot where Dark Will stood and the real Heart flew in front of Matt.
The two hearts started to shine and two bodies appeared.
Dark Will stood there again in the pose she was before the light appeared.
The dark sword flew back to her hands.
The (real) Heart had made another person.
She too had blood red hair and was in Goddess form but the colors were different.
They were white-ish blue with pink.
Her wings were also angel like.
She was also wearing a sword sheath.
Her eyes were closed.
The sword flew to the side of this 'Will' and hung in his sheath.
The signs on this 'Will' were shining brightly.
The two Hearts flew to their respective owners.
The dark one to Dark Will and the light one to the other 'Will'.
Dark Will resumed her attack but was shocked in who she had slashed.
The sword had hit the other Will but the sword had just cut her right eye.
The cut leapt from the right eyebrow vertically down till the height of her nose.
It started bleeding but Will didn't seem to notice it.
The 'Will' opened her eyes, which were a shocking bright color of pink.
Dark Will stepped back. She didn't want to believe her own eyes.
Will slowly went with her hand to her right eye and touched it.
Then she looked at her fingers and saw the blood that was dripping from her.
"Wh-How? How did you get here? Why didn't the sword cut you through your head?" Dark Will stammered.
Will merely smiled and stretched out her hand.
A powerful blow came from it and Dark Will was pushed back into the arena.
Will turned around and gave Matt a kiss on his cheek before going into the arena herself.
She then pointed at the girls who were still lying on the ground.
The girls were looking a little frightened of what this Will was going to do with them.
Will used her magic to lift the paralyzed feeling from the girls.
Dark Will was looking at it in horror.
"You haven't answered!" she demanded.
Will looked at DW and said: "The sword couldn't cut me because my willpower is stronger than steel.
And how I came here… Let's say you gave me the right tools."
Dark Will noticed that she was trembling and quickly recovered from it.
"Well, this means that your majesty wants to fight me?" she sneered.
"No." Will answered.
"I'm going to destroy you!" and she took her sword.
She was beaming determination and peace.
But also anger.
"Oh yeah? Bring it on, princess." Dark Will said and ran up to Will.
The two swords clashed and thunder was roaring.
A couple of times Dark Will tried to attack Will with magic but Will dodged the attack and countered.
Nobody could believe their eyes.
Were Will and Dark Will really fighting?
Was that Will the real Will?
The two Wills were standing opposite of each other.
Dark Will got angry and fired a lot of fireballs at Will.
Will inhaled and blew the fireballs away and then followed by thrusting her sword in the ground, making it rip apart and creating a volcano beneath Dark Will.
Dark Will used a lot of water to douse the volcano and then countered by creating the same volcano beneath Will.
Will buried the volcano before it could erupt and the two stood panting in front of each other.
"Nice tricks." Will said panting.
"It's a shame that they rob us from our energy so quickly."
"I've got my means to recharge." DW said with a smile and looked up at the sky.
Will did the same and at the same time they got hit by a blast of lightning.
They both looked fully recharged and resumed their fighting.
Will parried a couple of blasts and slashes but got hit a couple of times.
Dark Will had trouble with parrying Will's attacks and got hit a lot of times.
"Just you wait. I haven't used my ace." Dark Will said and concentrated.
Suddenly Dark Will glowed with dark energy and her clothes started to change.
Her Goddess outfit had changed into a darker looking one, as if you were looking at complete darkness.
"Ha! Fear my ultimate form!" Dark Will said in triumph.
Everyone could feel that her power was increased.
They were trembling and Lilian and Chris were hiding behind their parents.
Even Yan-Lin was looking worried.
Will just looked at Dark Will with an eyebrow risen.
"Can everyone do that?" she asked nonchalant.
"Only if they mastered their powers. And only Goddesses." Dark Will said with a smirk.
"Feel my power!" she said and throw a giant bolt of lightning at Will.
"Will!" Matt, her parents and friends cried.
Will was laying on her back and started getting up.
She brushed the dust off of her top and pants and then looked at Dark Will.
"Was that it?" she asked.
Dark Will was too surprised that Will wasn't scratched that she didn't notice that Will started to transform too.
Will's outfit was a bright color white and was standing with some pride in a fighting stance.
"You know. Giving me so much time in that stupid prison of yours only helped me." Will said with a smile and released the power she was hiding.
It was a shockwave of pure white energy.
You could feel the power but it also brought peace.
Dark Will was now trembling in fear.
"HOW?" she screamed in fear and anger.
She stormed at Will but was easily intercepted.
"I wouldn't try that if I were you." Will said, knocking DW of balance.
The two slashed their swords at each other but no-one seemed to hit each other.
Again they took their distance of each other and were looking fiercely at each other.
*I can't believe this! She used my prison to train!* Dark Will thought with disgust.
*I think I'm going for some bait.*
Will looked at her opponent but didn't felt a thing.
She didn't feel anger or fear or fatigue.
She felt just normal.
She saw that Dark Will was gripping her sword and Will did the same.
But then she saw that Dark Will started to run but not in her direction.
She ran towards the audience!
"Hell no. Not again." Will muttered and released all her strength.
Dark Will had almost reached Mrs. Collins but Will appeared in front of her.
Dark Will recoiled when she felt that Will's power level was even greater than before.
Will's eyes were also burning with anger.
"You've done enough already!" Will breezed at Dark Will.
"You've tried to take over my body and tried to kill my friends and family!"
Will summoned a large thunderstorm and her eyes were dangerously looking.
Dark Will looked in fear at Will.
"How is this possible?" she asked.
"We are both from the Heart of Candracar! We both have a Heart! How can you be stronger than me?"
Will looked at her dark copy.
Her bright pink eyes looking dangerous.
"You have only one Heart." she said.
"I have two. Even though one isn't an official one."
The gift that Matt had given her was clearly visible around Will's neck.
Dark Will did a desperate attempt to save herself and attacked Will, aiming straight for her heart.
To everyone's shock and amazement she hit Will and even pierced through her.
Blood was dripping from the dark sword and Dark Will was smiling.
"I'm afraid your days are over." she said sarcastically.
Taranee wanted to rush up to aid Will but Yan-Lin stopped her.
Taranee looked at Will with sorrow.
Will looked at the sword and suddenly started to laugh making everyone wince in fright.
Will pulled the sword out of her body and the wound started to heal.
Dark Will not knowing what was happening was looking in shock at Will.
"You're a monster!" she exclaimed.
Will looked at Dark Will while the last drop of blood fell.
"Maybe." she answered.
"But you and Candracar certainly helped in creating me!"
The wound was now totally healed and Will took her sword.
She slowly walked up to Dark Will and energy was coursing through her sword and body.
"You're trespassing in my reality. Ask permission next time!" Will said and stabbed Dark Will.
Dark Will gave a last shout before disappearing in a white flash and black smoke.
"That was maybe a little too much." Will muttered.
Will turned back into her normal, teenage form and collapsed on the ground.
"Will!" Taranee screamed and flew over at Will.
She listened at her chest and was glad to hear Will's heart pumping.
Everyone slowly walked at the scene and Matt and the rest of W.I.T.C.H. quickly ran up to Will.
Matt lifted her and kissed her.
"I'm glad you're still here." he said quietly.
Mrs. Collins was crying and Mr. Collins had also trouble with keeping his tears back as they went to Will.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry. I didn't know." Mrs. Collins said crying.
The rest was a little quiet and there felt an awkward silence.
Yan-Lin walked up with a stretcher.
"Put her on it." Yan-Lin said.
"She just collapsed from fatigue. She used too much of her energy.
She may be the Goddess of Energy but she has to learn what her limits are."
Matt slowly put Will on the stretcher and gave her another kiss.
Everyone was looking in silence at Will when Irma broke the silence.
"Okay can someone be so kind to start the explaining?
Why are we dressed like this?
Why turned Will evil?
Why were there suddenly two Will's?
How come that this Will (pointing at Will) was so kick ass?
And why got our butts kicked by that Will? (pointing at the place where Dark Will disappeared.)"
"Irma relax, everything will be explained in due time." Himerish said, trying to reassure Irma.
But this made Irma just angry.
"NO! I want answers! And I want them now!" she screamed.
Taranee, Cornelia and Hay-Lin were nodding and anxiously waiting for answers.
Yan-Lin sighed and looked the girls in their eyes.
"I'm afraid that I can only answer three questions.
You have to ask Will the rest."
"Well some explaining would be nice." Mr. Lair said.
"Okay. The reason that you are dressed this way is simply because your elemental powers have awakened.
This is very dangerous."
"Why?" Cornelia asked frowning.
"Because you are too young to control them." Yan-Lin simply said.
The girls looked at each other and somehow knew that Yan-Lin was right.
If it wasn't for Will they wouldn't have known how to use their powers.
"I don't know how you knew how to call your weapons but it doesn't change the fact that you are too inexperienced to use your powers.
Once Will is awake we've got to discuss what to do." Yan-Lin said seriously.
"As for Will turning evil. You already know that.
The prophecy explicitly told you what will happen if you would awaken too soon."
"Okay… That's true… But I never thought that Will would be taken over by a demon." Matt said looking a little upset.
"But you can be proud of her. I don't know how but she managed to break free from her prison, showing us that she has a great determination." Yan-Lin said with a little pride.
"As for your final question.
The 'Dark' Will could kick your ass, as you say it, because she had a long time to get to know all of Will's powers.
Since she has been around ever since the first Guardians." Yan-Lin said, finishing her explanation.
"But how could Will be so powerful?" Taranee said, looking at her sleeping friend.
"About what Heart was she talking about? When did she got it? Why didn't she tell us?"
"I don't know how Will was able to use her powers so efficient but I know about what Heart she had been talking about.
The Heart in question, has been given to her this morning." Yan-Lin said with a glimmer of joy in her eyes.
"What do you mean? I haven't seen a thing?" Hay-Lin said confused.
The parents, boyfriends and friends were just looking at each other, feeling out of place.
Himerish, Orube, Kandor, Elyon and Matt were looking confused at the words of the Oracle.
Yan-Lin hid a giggle before straightening her face.
"Don't look so confused. As Will said, the second Heart isn't an official one.
This Heart can only give power to the one who has given it a meaning."
Now everyone was looking in even greater confusion.
Yan-Lin walked towards Will and pointed at the necklace that Matt had given her that morning.
"Love is a mysterious thing. It can weaken the knees and cloud the mind, but it can also give you the last strength you need." she said with a wink at Matt.
"That's it? The necklace that Matt gave to Will?" Irma said a little disappointed.
"How is that possible? I mean it's a normal necklace or else we would have felt the magic."
Yan-Lin shook her head.
"Irma, you must know what power love can give." she said, walking to the Water Goddess.
"When Will got the present from Matt, she wanted to throw it away, crushing all the hope Matt had left.
But she couldn't because of her love for him. So she thought that she could throw it away after opening the package.
But when she saw the replica of the Heart with their letters in it, Will cried inside. She thought of how unfair it was to push Matt away. She wanted to hug him and kiss him.
She knew that the necklace was a sign of how great his love is for her.
It is as big as the infinite dimension that the Heart represents.
That's why she kept it. As a charm, hoping that everything would go smoothly, hoping she could go back to where her Heart belongs."
Everyone was silent after this explanation.
"Why did Will try to push me away if she loved me?" Matt said then angrily.
"She must have known how much it hurt!"
Yan-Lin looked at Matt with sympathy.
"Yes she knew how much it hurt because she had the same pain." Yan-Lin said.
"But if she had hold your bond, then you would be the first one to die Matt, not Bill, Irvin, Taizo, Callister or Halian. Not one of W.I.T.C.H. but you.
She wanted to protect you so she kept you away to save you."
"So it would be wise to leave her alone for the moment." she added, looking at Mr. and Mrs. Collins.
The two nodded and left Will's side to stand with the other parents.
"Speaking of B.I.T.C.H. They were the ones responsible for all this." Irma said darkly.
Irma turns around and she saw that B.I.T.C.H. was tied in vines and looking at their faces, the vines were squeezing really hard.
"Cornelia, it might be wise to let them live." Himerish said to the Goddess of Earth.
Cornelia just sighed and loosened the vines so that the boys could breath normally.
"Thank God!" Callister said inhaling the air thankfully.
"Now are you going to tell us why you did it!" Taranee said angrily while her hair started to flame up.
"Taranee." Peter said in shock.
"What!" Taranee snapped at Peter, making him flinch.
"Y-Your hair. I-It's o-on f-f-fire." Peter stammered.
"Oh. Thanks." Taranee said but she didn't put it out.
Taranee turned to the boys, just like the other girls and they were looking threatening at them.
"So… Why did you try to awaken us?" Hay-Lin said in a cold tone.
The boys winced at the tone but looked at the girls.
"You really are beautiful." Halian said.
Eric turned red after hearing this and wanted to hit Halian, but Hay-Lin was faster.
She slapped Halian against his cheek making him fly a couple of meters to the left.
"Wow…" Irma said, looking at Hay-Lin.
Hay-Lin didn't notice her new strength because of her anger but the others certainly did.
It was rare for Hay-Lin to lose her calm and cheeriness like this.
"Do you want a hit too?" Hay-Lin said threateningly to Callister, raising her hand in the air once more.
"No, no please. I'll tell. Please don't hit me." he whimpered.
"Hay-Lin calm down. Violence isn't the answer." Cornelia said, restraining her furious friend.
"No! It's their fault!
It's their fault that Will is in this state!
They turned us into… into this!" Hay-Lin said while tears were rolling from her cheeks.
"Hay-Lin, child. Don't attack them out of anger. It would do only more trouble than good." Yan-Lin said to her granddaughter.
Irma laid an arm around Hay-Lin's neck.
"Yes. You don't want to end up as Nerissa, do you?
Turning into a hag who can only chase little kids to scare them?" Irma joked.
Hay-Lin smiled a little and tried to relax.
Cornelia, Taranee, Himerish, Orube and Yan-Lin turned to the B.I.T.C.H. boys.
"Now, answer our question. Why did you do it?"
The boys looked at each other a little desperate.
"W-We d-don't know." Bill finally said.
"What you don't know?" Cornelia hissed viciously.
"I-I mean. We were told that we were descendants of the 4 elemental dragons.
A-And that we were destined to become Gods…
A-A-And then HE imbedded stones in us, making our magic stronger." Bill said afraid.
"A-And later on… HE told us about you, and that we had to d-d-destroy you.
B-Because you would be the Goddesses, b-b-but when w-we saw y-you we couldn't.
You looked beautiful. As if you were the element itself in its most beautiful way." Taizo said a little awkward.
"S-So we thought th-that it would be a good idea to turn you to our s-side." Callister finished.
"Who is HE?" Taranee said skeptically.
"W-We d-d-don't k-know." Halian said frightened.
"You know what it think? I think you're lying." Orube said.
The boys looked frightened at Orube when suddenly Himerish stopped her.
"No, they are telling the truth." Yan-Lin said.
"Their minds only contain a memory of a man dressed in a black cloak, totally covering him."
"Are you sure?" Orube asked.
"Positive.
These boys were just puppets of a mastermind." Yan-Lin said sadly.
"I think it's for the best to let them stay in Candracar. Here they will be purified."
She waved her hand and the boys disappeared.
Hay-Lin had calmed herself and walked up when she saw the boys disappear.
"So… are they guilty?" she asked.
"No." Taranee answered dull.
"They were send by someone who wants us dead."
Hay-Lin's and Irma's eyes widened after hearing this.
"You can't be serious?" Irma said, hoping that this was just one sick joke.
But when she didn't got an answer she huffed in disbelieve.
"Of course. Why not?" Irma said angry.
Suddenly something came to her.
"Why are we in Candracar?" Irma asked.
"I mean, none of us transported here."
Yan-Lin smiled at the question.
"All I can say is that Will is a brilliant strategist."
She then walked away, towards the council room.
"What do you mean?" Hay-Lin asked her grandmother.
But Yan-Lin merely waved before disappearing through the doors.
"Of course. More questions than answers." Irma said angrily.
Himerish had to smile about this comment.
Leave it to Irma to be angry about something like this.
"AAARGH!"
Everyone turned around to look at Will.
Will was still sleeping but her hand was wrapped around someone's wrist.
Martin's wrist to be exact.
And Martin was looking in agony while trying to free his hand from Will's grasp.
"What's going on?" Matt asked, walking up to Martin.
"I just wanted to have a better look on that necklace you gave her." Martin wailed.
"Then when I just merely touched it, she grabbed my hand and started to squeeze it!"
Suddenly Will started to mumble.
"No-one touches…the heart…"
The others were looking strangely at Will but then turned to Martin.
"Let's get you out of that grip." Matt said and tried to open Will's fingers.
But they were squeezing so hard that Matt couldn't loosen the grip.
"Let me do it." Irma said.
"Don't leave a man doing a woman's job!"
She then walked to Martin and tried to open Will's fingers.
With a lot of effort she managed to release Martin from Will's iron grip.
Martin shook his wrist and was moaning a little.
"That's what you get for touching things that aren't yours." Irma said.
They looked again at Will and saw that she was sleeping peacefully, as if nothing had happened.
"I can't stand this!" Irma said in frustration.
"You can't stand what?" Taranee asked confused.
"Simple. Will turns bad, kicks ass, she splits in two, kicks ass, destroys bad Will and then falls asleep without answering questions!" Irma said annoyed.
"What do you want to ask her?" Eric asked.
"How did we get here?" Irma said.
"How could we hear her voice when she was evil?" Taranee said.
"How is it possible that she was so strong?" Cornelia asked.
"Why didn't she told us about this?" Hay-Lin said.
After hearing this Taranee started to look a little awkward.
"What's wrong, Taranee?" Peter asked.
"Nothing." Taranee answered quickly as she walked to Will.
"O yes there is! You answered to quick!" Irma said as she jumped at Taranee.
Taranee dodged Irma's tackle but Irma grabbed Taranee's ankles making her fall.
"Ouch! Was that really necessary Irma?" Taranee said annoyed.
"O yes. Now spill!" Irma said while sitting top of Taranee.
Taranee saw that there was no way to escape the questioning and sighed.
"Okay… Will kinda told me about this…" Taranee admitted.
"WHAT?" the girls said.
"What do you mean?" Cornelia said a little angry.
"Well… Uhmm. The day when Will and Matt broke up, I talked with her.
And well she told me that she had only broken up with Matt because in her dreams she turned evil and killed everyone she loved." Taranee said quickly.
"And you didn't tell us, because?" Irma said dangerously soft.
"She made me promise not to. Just so that you don't have to be concerned." Taranee whispered in a small voice.
The girls were looking at each other in disbelieve.
Why didn't Will tell them this?
"Okay! That's it!" Cornelia suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked confused at Cornelia while she was walking over to Will.
"What are you going to do Cornelia?" Matt said.
"I'm going to wake sleeping beauty over here, so that she can start explaining." Cornelia growled.
"And no-one is going to stop me."
"Yeah! I'm with Corny on this one!" Irma said as she walked to Cornelia.
"I think we should let Will sleep, it was a tough fight." Hay-Lin said.
"Yes, just let her sleep." Taranee said.
"I say, try and stop us!" Irma said a little angry.
"If you even touch her I'll burn your fingers!" Taranee shouted back as her hair started to flare up.
Cornelia and Hay-Lin were just glaring at each other.
Everyone saw a gap arise between the girls.
Taranee and Hay-Lin versus Irma and Cornelia.
"Relax. Please just go and take some rest yourselves." Matt said, trying to ease the tension.
"Matt, shut up." Hay-Lin said.
"Please, don't fight. We've seen enough of this already." Eric pleaded.
"Eric, I would stay quiet if I were you." Cornelia said threateningly.
"Don't you dare threatening him!" Hay-Lin shouted at Cornelia.
"Irma! Stop this nonsense immediately!" Mr. Lair said in a demanding tone.
The other parents were also commanding their daughters but it seemed as if the girls didn't hear them.
Cornelia slowly looked at Will and touched her forehead.
Immediately she was blown away by Hay-Lin.
"It is ON!" Cornelia said and created a big earthquake.
Irma shot a giant ball of water at Taranee but the latter dodged it and prevented Irma from spraying Will.
Cornelia and Hay-Lin were clashing with each other as if they were on a war.
And Taranee and Irma were throwing water and fire over to each other.
"This isn't pretty." Himerish muttered.
"Orube, can you get Hay-Lin and Cornelia down?
I'll take Irma and Taranee."
Orube nodded and ran towards Hay-Lin and Cornelia.
She jumped to knock Hay-Lin down but Hay-Lin had already noticed her.
Hay-Lin dodged Orube which ended in Orube hitting Cornelia.
Hay-Lin what happened and immediately felt stupid.
She caught Cornelia in the air and lay her down.
"Sorry Cornelia. What I did was stupid." she muttered.
Cornelia, being paralyzed by Orube's punch, looked up at Hay-Lin.
She then made a sound which sounded like:"I'm sorry too."
Hay-Lin lay Cornelia down and flew up to the fight between Irma and Taranee.
Himerish was having trouble getting the two girls down.
Every time that they were in range, they sensed Himerish and dodged him before resuming their cat-fight.
Hay-Lin flew to them and blew the two apart, making them fly a couple of meters.
"Why did you do that, Hay-Hay?" Irma groaned when she stood up.
"Yeah, that hurt!" Taranee groaned.
"Don't you see what we're doing?" Hay-Lin said angrily.
"We are fighting each other, and for what?"
Irma and Taranee looked at each other in shame.
"Will would scold us if she found out!" Hay-Lin continued.
Orube de-paralyzed Cornelia and Cornelia walked up to Hay-Lin.
"You're right Hay-Lin. I'm sorry. I was just frustrated that we have these questions." she said while hugging Hay-Lin.
Hay-Lin returned the hug and quickly Taranee and Irma joined the hug.
"Let's promise to never fight like this again." Hay-Lin said and putting out her hand.
The others smiled and put their hands on Hay-Lin's.
"Never a fight about something silly." Taranee said.
"Just fun and pranks." Irma said.
"And never to use our powers against each other." Cornelia said.
The girls hugged each other again when suddenly Henry pulled Irma's skirt.
"Yes?" Irma asked looking down at Henry.
"Are we going to learn how to fight like that?" Henry asked with a glimmer of hope.
Other students were also looking hopeful at the girls.
"I don't know." Irma said a little awkward.
"I mean, that's Will's department."
The girls walked back to Will and sat next to her on the ground.
They suddenly looked very tired.
One by one the girls reverted back to their normal selves and fell asleep.
The boys walked up to them and laid them down.
Then they kissed their girlfriends and looked up.
The parents were looking in amusement at the boys.
"Uhmm, yeah. What now?" Steven said blushing.
"I suggest you follow their lead and take a little nap yourselves." a voice said behind them.
"Endarno, my old friend. How are you doing?" Himerish said to the newcomer.
"Very well, thank you for asking." Endarno replied.
"Now if you would like to follow me then I'll show you to your rooms."
"And what about Will and the others?" Matt asked.
"They will remain here." Endarno said simply.
The parents gave their children a kiss before following Endarno.
Matt gave Will a quick kiss before walking after Endarno.
He was lead to his room.
*Nice and spacey.* he thought.
*It's a shame I didn't had the chance to…*
He heard a noise coming from behind the door.
He opened the door and saw a little creature laying at the door post, asleep.
"Come here, WE. You can sleep with me." the boy said.
WE slowly opened his eyes.
"Mawtin!" he said as he walked into the room and jumped on the bed.
"Make yourself comfy." Martin said with a smile.
When WE was asleep again Martin also climbed into the bed.
"Don't worry, master. Soon I'll give you your powers and you'll give me my dream." Martin said with a light evil smile on his lips before falling asleep.
And that was it for this chapter. I just wanted a cat-fight between WITCH. I thought it would be funny.
Martin's master… Who could it be?
Have sweet dreams… MUHAHAHAHA!
