Emotion Guardian
By: Starlight Angel
Chapter 9- Emotionless
Mina sat by her daughter's side. She had been sitting by Gloria's side for the past 3 days and Gloria had not regained consciousness. 'At least she survived,' Mina thought, she still had hope. Across the bed from her was Annika, who was at Gloria's side as much as school and Raye would allow her. Gloria stirred in her sleep. The dream she was having was not a pleasent one.
~~~~**Gloria's Dream**~~~~
Gloria was in a dark void. Everything was cold and dark. 'Where am I?' she asked herself. She had been in this place for quite a while now, and was really lonely. She would see images every once in a while, images of her. The first images she saw where of her playing pranks, and playing with Annika. Then, they got worse. The next one was of Annika falling through the ice and Daisy falling down the stairs. Gloria was searching frantically for a way out. After hours of running, she saw a faint light and heard a sound. A woman's sobs, a very familiar woman's sobs.
"Mom?" Gloria asked as she walked in the direction it came from. She the faint light got brighter until the next thing she knew she was in a hospital bed
~~~~**End of Gloria's Dream**~~~~
Gloria's eyes fluttered open and her vision became clear. On her right, was her mother and on her left was Annika.
"Gloria," Mina said as she quickly hugged her daughter. Gloria didn't respond to the hug.
"Gloria's awake!" Annika yelled through the door. Many of the scouts and knights came in to see Gloria.
"Hello everyone," Gloria said, unable to show any emotion. Everyone looked at Gloria in surprise, there was absolutly no emotion in her voice. 'Why can't I show any emotion?' Gloria asked herself. She was..... she didn't know what she was, she couldn't feel her emotions and this scared her.
After everyone said that they hoped she would get well soon, no one but her parents and Annika were left in the room.
"How did I get here?" Gloria asked. "The last thing I remember is being in the park with mom." Mina looked at her daughter with a heavy heart.
"Gloria," Mina started, "Your emotion orb was taken." Gloria sat still. 'Oh no, what will happen to me and the guardian?' Gloria wanted to cry, but she couldn't.
"How could this have happened?" Gloria asked. "I don't remember any of it, what's going to happen to me now?" Gloria was full of questions, most of which she knew the answers to. 'I am going to get weaker and weaker until I die,' Gloria wanted to be frightened, sad, upset, angry, but most of all, she wanted to cry. But some force was making her unable to.
Mina gathered her daughter into her arms, as she cried for her daughter. Annika watched her friend. Tears welled up in her eyes. She could tell Gloria was, or would have been, upset. It tore at her heart, her best friend was in this whole ordeal which she did not deserve to be in. Annika's tears spilled over and she went over by Mina's side and hugged Gloria.
For the next couple of days, everyone watched as Gloria showed no improvement. Not only was she emotionless, but she was getting weaker. This troubled everyone even more.
Gloria was laying down on her bed. She felt herself getting weaker by the day. 'So this is my fate,' Gloria thought, 'I was destined to die.' She felt her eyelids get heavy as she drifted off to sleep.
~~~~**Dream**~~~~
Gloria was standing on a golden platform and silver light surrounded her. She immediatly knew where she was. She could feel her emotions here. The first thing she did was fall to her knees as sobs took over her body.
"Young one," a weak voice came. Gloria looked through teary eyes to see the guardian.
"What is going to happen to us," came Gloria's shaky voice. The guardian had tears flowing down her face. She walked over to Gloria, fell to her knees and embraced the girl. They both stayed that way for what seemed like hours, and cried.
"I don't know what will happen to us now Gloria," The woman's sob-filled voice answered. "The only thing I know is if we don't get that orb from Ezri, you and I will cease to exist." Gloria sobbed harder.
"Is there anyway to get it back?" came Gloria's weak voice.
"The only way to get it back, is if you touch it," the guardian said. Gloria stood up. She had a renewed courage within her.
"I will get it back," Gloria said. The guardian smiled at her younger self.
"I wish you luck, young one." And with that, the light and guardian disappeared into darkness as Gloria was pulled back to reality.
~~~~**End Dream**~~~~
Gloria sat up in bed. She looked out the window and saw that it was light outside. She looked at her clock to see that it was already noon. Gloria pulled herself out of bed, and pulled on a pair of jeans and a white and yellow sleaveless shirt. When she walked into the living room, she saw her mother sitting on the couch reading a book. Gloria walked to her mother's side and sat down. Mina looked over at Gloria in surprise.
"I going to get my emotion orb back," Gloria said. Mina was speechless. "I am going to ask the rest of the chibi scouts if they will help me find Ezri, to reclaim my emotions." Mina nodded.
"We will do all we can to help you."
