::Chapter 16: The Power of Love::
Kyle managed to form a soft grin, feeling no embarrassment or shame from the tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Don't worry, Kara, I will. We all will. For you, and everyone else," he replied softly.
"Adriane, Emily, Kyle, I love you guys," Kara said in a faint voice before she gasped for a small breath for the last time.
Emily set her hand over Kara's. "M-Maybe my healing stone will-"
"Emily, I-It's too late," Kyle said softly.
"No. . .Kara. . ." Adriane sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face. "I-It's all my fault! I-If you hadn't found me, you wouldn't have-"
"Adriane, I-it's okay," Emily whispered softly, embracing her friend in a hug.
"Hah! You three are just a bunch of pathetic fools," cackled a menacing voice.
Kyle, Adriane, and Emily slowly set their gaze on the girl.
Kyle gritted his teeth. He let go of his sister's hand and slowly stood up, clenching his fists. "You. . . You'll pay for this big time."
The girl laughed. "You're funny. You three don't know how entertaining it is to see you suffer a loss of some nobody."
"That 'nobody' you're talking about is my sister!" Kyle yelled furiously. "I swear, I'm going to kill you even if I risk my life doing it!" He charged towards the girl, only to be shot back with a beam of light.
"Kyle no!" Emily cried as she raced towards the boy. "A-Are you okay? What do you think you're doing?!" she cried, tears pouring out of her eyes. "We've already lost Kara! I-I don't want to lose you too!"
"Emily, I-I have to. . . we have to. . . for Kara," he said, his hand gripping his slightly wounded arm.
"He's right," Adriane spoke up in a soft yet determined voice.
The girl laughed maliciously. "I don't want to have to bother with either of you," she said, gesturing to Kyle and Emily. Then she shot an evil glare at Adriane. "Only you."
"No!" Emily said, her heart racing. "We're friends, and friends stick together." She stood confidently next to Adriane.
"Not that you would know anything about friends," Kyle shot back, taking his place next to Emily.
The girl glared. "Fine. You are the dimmest people I have ever met. I'm trying to spare your lives! After I finish up with this girl here," she glared at Adriane. "I'm done. It's only one person out of the billions on earth. No one will care."
Emily gritted her teeth. This was too much. She raised her stone, and concentrated with all her might. She thought about all the good times she had with Adriane and Kara, times she knew would never again repeat.
Suddenly a beam of rainbow light shot out of the stone on her wrist.
Adriane and Kyle gasped.
"What are you doing?!" the girl shrieked angrily. She shot out her own beam of light from the palm of her hand, trying to fight the rainbow.
Emily closed her eyes. She thought of the warmth she felt when she was with her family, the happiness Adriane will never feel again.
The beam grew brighter.
The girl strengthened her beam, which grew brighter and stronger at the second.
A bead of sweat rolled down Emily's neck as she tried desperately to hold her strength.
"A-Adriane! Kyle! I-I need your help!" she said.
Adriane and Kyle quickly grabbed Emily's hands.
Adriane felt the power of Emily's stone absorb into her own. She concentrated on everything that happened the last few weeks. . . of her mother. . . and Kara. Tears streamed down her face as she whispered, "Mom, Kara, I love you both."
The beam of light grew stronger, yet not reaching the strength of the girls.
Kyle cleared his mind of everything but one thing. . . Kara. Just a few hours ago he would have loved it if he never saw her again, but now that it actually happened, he actually would have been thrilled to hear her annoying voice whining about her broken nails, or how her hair wasn't 'perfect'. But, he also thought of all the good times they shared. Although they usually argued over everything, he greatly treasure the few moments when they got along.
The beam of light grew even stronger, but not strong enough.
"W-We need more power!" Adriane shouted over the deafening blare of the magic beams of light.
Kyle immediately reached down and grabbed Kara's hand, which was as cold as ice. He thought of his love for her as a sister. Her hand slowly got warmer and warmer, and he felt the magic of her stone transfer into his body.
"IS THAT THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!" the girl shouted over. "PATHETIC! SAY YOUR GOODBYES!"
The girls power drew as she thought of her hate for Adriane and her Mother.
Suddenly there was a rustling of leaves. . . footsteps. Then two figures.
Emily opened her eyes and peered at the two people. "Mom! Mrs. Davies!"
Kyle's eyes shot open. "Mom! We need your help!"
Surprisingly, they two grown women seemed to know what was going on.
Leanne Davies grabbed Kara's empty hand, while Carolyn Fletcher grabbed Adriane's.
They immediately felt the power of magic surge through their bodies.
The beam grew brighter and stronger.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!" the girl shrieked.
Adriane closed her eyes. "My mother loves me." She said in a soft voice, yet everyone present could hear it. "And I love her."
Suddenly she felt a strange, yet familiar warmth in her heart. Then she heard a faint whisper that was barely audible, that she wasn't even sure if she had heard it. "Adriane, my baby girl. . . I love you too."
The beam grew brighter, yet it was still no match for the girl.
"GIVE UP NOW AND SAVE YOR STRENTH!" the girl shouted. "NOTHING CAN DEFEAT ME!"
But there HAS to be something. . . Emily thought to herself. She thought for awhile, when she noticed something. Kyle. The way he made her feel when he was around. The way he cared.
"Emily, I love you."
Emily's eyes widened in surprise and happiness. "M-Me too."
The beam grew brighter and brighter.
The girl shrieked in agony.
"Let's do this!" Adriane shouted confidently. "Let's kick some butt!"
"For Kara," Kyle said.
"For Kara," Adriane and Emily answered.
"And for Mom," Adriane added.
The rest of them nodded.
"For Alaina," Mrs. Davies and Fletcher both said.
That's when they all knew.
"You said nothing can defeat you," Adriane said to the girl. "But you are wrong. There is one thing."
She closed her eyes. "Love."
Suddenly, the beam grew brighter and brighter, blinding everyone's sight.
"NOO!!" the girl shrieked.
Suddenly there was a big burst of light, and two figures started to form out of nowhere.
"Thank you," they both said in a melodic voice.
"Kara?" Kyle said in disbelief, staring at the two figures.
"Mom?" Adriane said, her eyes wide in astonishment.
Then, in a blink of an eye, they were gone.
"I love you!" Adriane called after her mother. "I really do."
The cries of the girl started to fade, until there was silence.
With the power of love, they had finally won.
