WITCH BLADERS
CHAPTER EIGHT: THE FOURTH ELEMENT
Day couldn't come up any quicker; the girls had been up long before sunrise when Kai came down for breakfast.
Did any of you gone to sleep last night? He asked
No why? Dune replied
No reason he answered sitting down and eating some cereal
Morning Guys. Said Ray cheerfully
Morning. The girls answered, as always Kai didn't say anything; Ray shook his head and sighed then sat down.
Hey everyone. Tyson shouted bursting into the room.
Everyone began to eat breakfast.
Dusk could you pass the milk? Luna asked
Sure. She answered she looked at the milk jug it disappeared then reappeared before Luna.
Thanks. She replied pouring it over her cereal.
If I didn't know any better I'd say you were showing off. Ray said watching them giggle.
Sorry couldn't resist. Luna replied
Luna could you pass me the toast rack? Dune asked
Luna smiled and looked at the toast rack, it levitated off the table and landed before Dune.
Thank you. She said taking a few slices
And what are you going to ask for? Tyson asked Dusk with his face full of food.
Dune can you pass the juice? She asked
Dune looked at the jug and it slid across the table to Dusk.
Thanks. She replied
After breakfast they got ready, Dune said that the boys were to meet them in the library.
Why do you have to wear those things? Tyson said confused, we they came in wearing long black hooded cloaks.
They're called mantles we have to wear these because we are Wiccans. Dusk explained
So how do we get to Avalon? Kenny asked
Just watch. Luna replied.
Dune picked up a purple coloured piece of coal and through it into the fire; the fire became a brilliant purple colour.
I was thinking of dyeing my hair that shade once. Dusk joked
The three girls stood before the roaring flames.
In this day and at this hour
We call upon the ancient power
So much to learn so little we know
Take us to where we have to go
At once the fire separated revealing an open door, it showed them a lake shrouded in mist.
Avalon. Whispered Luna excitedly
The girls turned round and looked at the boys, they all looked at little nervous even Kai didn't seem too sure.
It's okay nothing will happen. Dune said
They walked through the fireplace in single file, Luna was at the front, Dusk was in the middle behind Tyson and Dune was at the back once through the gate closed.
Now what? Said Max excitedly
Just a minute said Dusk pulling a little horn out of the reeds by the lake; she blew it making a very deep sound.
A boat appeared everyone climbed aboard and as if by magic the boat took them across the lake to the other side.
Welcome Bladebreakers. Merlin greeted bowing to them
At last the chosen ones are together. He said grinning at them warmly
Thorn you should know better. Came Merlin's voice on a small hill above them.
The impostor smiled then changed into a girl with black shoulder length hair, her grey eyes shone like silver coins, the Bladebreakers noticed that she had a black lightning bolt tattoo on her right cheek.
Thorn. Kai thought, she glanced at him and smiled.
Forgive me Merlin I have been eager to see my sisters for a long time now. She said looking at them proudly.
They shared a group hug.
Now we are powerful. Luna said
Of course we're sisters and nothing is going to keep us apart. Thorn said beaming at them
At last I find my sisters I've found my family. She added.
Why is it evening here? Kenny asked
Because young Kenny, Avalon lies between both the world of men and the kingdom of faery. Merlin explained
The newcomers were ushered up to the castle and shown where they would be staying.
While her sisters were unpacking Thorn went to see the newcomers.
Kai heard his door creak open he glanced up and saw nothing, then the fire came to life and began burning.
He saw a familiar figure sat in a chair.
Hello Kai tell me have you become your grandfather? Came her heavenly sweet voice.
You know I never could become him. Kai answered
She looked so beautiful in the firelight her hair fell around her face and her rapturous eyes pierced him.
Kai put the trinket she had left that night in one of his hands and clenched it shut.
Pick one. He said showing her his clenched fists.
That one. She said picking the hand that was holding the trinket.
It's a waste of time playing this game; you can read me like a book. He said annoyed
Opening his hand and discovering that it was missing.
Where's it gone? He asked looking at both empty hands.
How should I know? I haven't touched it. She replied with a smirk
Kai looked at her and noticed she was wearing it.
Are cheap tricks all you can do? He teased
Better than you who doesn't have a hope in hell's chance of survival in the Beymasters Tournament if he doesn't start believing in himself, your team is going to be counting on you Kai She said then vanished
You know I wish you didn't do that. He muttered
Thorn reappeared in the girls' room.
Where have you been? Luna asked
Just went to see an old friend. She replied with a smile.
Since when did you know Kai? Dune asked
Thorn shook her head.
Shouldn't have thought that. She said
Okay Kai and I were kids together, before I came to Avalon I was raised in an abbey in Russia owned by Kai's grandfather, Kai and I grew up together, until Voltaire found out that I was a witch, someone had seen me sneak out and practice a ritual with Merlin. Thorn explained
What happened? Dusk asked eagerly
I was meant to be sent away luckily Merlin stopped that and said that I was the one that has the powers of the Goddess, and that I was to live here amongst the remaining few of our kind. Thorn finished
You never saw Kai again? Luna asked
No not until recently, Merlin told me that the Bladebreakers were to be the champions that were to fight for men, I knew Kai was their captain, I astral projected myself to their hotel suite and found him alone thinking about me and the day I had to be sent away that's what turned him into the cold-hearted statue that he has become, anyway moments after I left he discovered that it was me who had been talking to him. Thorn explained
How romantic. Dune said smiling
Kai was my childhood sweetheart he will always be my friend. Thorn said giggling
