Chapter 6 - Escape and Destination Discussed - The End
The guards stood by nervously, aiming their weapons at the glowing girl in the center of the room. Unforgiving silver eyes swept over them as if appraising the enemy, adding to their anxiety. One young soldier's hands shook uncontrollably, accidentally pulling the trigger.
Ilsaliel whipped around at the sound and saw the bullet coming after her at top speed. Calmly she put her hand in the bullets path. It glowed white and slowed to a halt mere inches from piercing her flesh. "You humans and your guns." She commented in that mystical voice. With a slight flick of her wrist, she sent the bullet flying back towards its owner. It pierced his skull with a sickening splat. The force of the impact sent the young dead soldier's body backwards, sliding across the floor.
The rest of the guard's reaction purely on instinct mixed with fear. All of them fired their guns. Ilsaliel lifted both hands and concentrated on the bullets. Stopping one was easy, but stopping a hundred or so was more difficult. She needed to split her concentration a hundred different ways and that is easier said than done.
Ilsaliel, being new to her power, stopped most of them but could not stop them all. A few stray bullets grazed her skin, but did no real damage. This was pure luck. Concentrating harder, she sent the bullets back at the ones who shot them. They all hit their mark, sending the bodies flying backwards into pillars. A few of the pillars were knocked down, causing the who place to shake. Pieces of the ceiling started to fall. One larger piece broke off above Ilsaliel's head, but she did not notice.
Legolas, seeing her danger, ran to her side, grabbed her arm, and dragged her out of harms way. "We must go before the building collapses." She nodded her agreement and Legolas led the way to the exit, meeting no resistance from the guards. The quickly burst out of the building and into the fresh air just as the building gave one last groan and collapsed to the ground.
Her power faded, leaving her exhausted, but she did not dare to stop in fear of being captured again. They ran for what seemed like hours until they reached the shoreline. There, a huge gray ship awaited them.
"Legolas, where are we going?" Ilsaliel asked as they boarded the ship.
"To Valinor. There is someone there who wants to meet you." Legolas replied, a slight smile on his lips.
"Who?"
"You shall see." With that he strode off, leaving Ilsaliel in his wake.

Valinor
"Dear Diary,
I had lessons with Gandalf again this morning. Today he was teaching me not to let my powers get the best of me like they did back in that facility. Legolas and his friends, whom I have really gotten to know, kept throwing friendly insults my way during the lesson. I lost control and.....well.....lets just say the second story room is now ground level. They are now banned from attending any more lessons.
During the afternoon, Gandalf told me the news I had been dreading. He said that the threat in both worlds has been growing ever stronger and that I must set off as soon as possible to retrieve the other Vala and Elemental Crystals.
Oh yeah, I've never told you. Elemental Crystals are stones that each Vala needs to have to help control their powers. Mine is this real pretty stone that looks something like a diamond. I wear it around my neck so that I may never lose it.
Gandalf also gave me the crystal for the Vala of Time. It seems I must find this one first for some reason. My journey begins tonight. I'm so nervous! The horrible thing is that Legolas can't come with me! No one can! I must do this alone. But I'm not good at protecting myself. When I told Gandalf that he just said, "We shall see." Grrr! I hate it when he talks like that!
You know, as I sit here and write this I think about my old life. I dearly miss my parents and friends, but I can never go back. I'll be thrown in jail or killed. I also need the Vala of Time to take me back if I ever want to. But he isn't here right now ,is he?
I also regret killing those soldiers. They were just doing their job! I woke up screaming for a month after that.
Well, Gandalf is calling for me. I must go. I won't be writing for a while since I'm not taking this journal with me. Good-bye.
Love, Ilsaliel Lalaith
P.S. I must forget the past and journey as bravely as possible through the future. I want my teddy bear!
Ilsaliel closed the leather bound book and sighed. Valinor was like a second home to her and now she was leaving it and all of her friends behind. She heard about humans not being able to find this place and was worried that she would not be able to find it again without an elf on board. Thought Gandalf had assured her countless times that she was not human and would find Valinor easily, she still worried.
"Ilsaliel Lalaith! If you do not come out of that room this instant I shall drag you out by your hair and tie you to the mast of your gray ship!" She heard Gandalf yell through the doorway.
"Coming!" She yelled back. Picking up her travel pack she left the room, stopping only once to look back.

A/N: Dun dun dun! A cliffie at the end of the story! How evil! But then again, evil is my middle name heh heh heh. Well, that's it for When Worlds Collide, but do not despair! A new story is coming. And so it won't take forever for each new chapter to be posted I'm going to finish the story BEFORE posting it. So there will only be a wait for the story to come out instead of between chapters. So, until then, I will give you a little preview of the next story called Into the Mists of Thyme:
An orphaned boy, living with an abusive uncle discovers something special about him in a horrible way. Fleeing from his home, he runs into a strange person with strange powers who can help him. But trouble lurks around the corner as the threat is revealed and the objective put into action. Can they stop their enemy before it is too late? They must embark on a journey to gather the others while the enemy slowly destroys both worlds. Violence, rage, thievery, pain, and power all come together in the second story in the Vala Chronicles.
COMING SOON TO A FAN FICTION PAGE NEAR YOU!! (To be posted in the beginning of November 2003)
Thank you for reading and thank you for your patience with the next story. Until then, God Bless!
