Chapter 4

May20, 5th year

After months of searching spells and incantations, Amber finally knew where her mother and friends were being held. She was currently getting ready to leave. Who cared if she didn't finish out the year? She had already taken her O.W.L.'s, and she needed to find her mom. She had said nothing about her trip to Cheryl or Liza. Amber knew that they would try to stop her. She sat down and wrote out notes to friends and her two aunts, telling them where she was going, but urging them not to follow her. They would receive them tomorrow morning. Amber would be long gone by then.
She went to the owlery and tied the letters to the owls legs. Now.......to plan what she would do to get her mom back.

May 21

Alicia, Cheryl, Liza, Tory, and a few others got their letters from Amber that morning. All of them left the hall, meeting up just outside it.
She went to find them on her own?! Is she crazy?! Alicia cried.
We gotta go after her. said Tory seriously. She'd do the same for us, even if we told her to leave us alone to do it ourselves. Everyone nodded in agreement. Tory, Alicia, Ashley and Katie would all fly there as fast as they could, while Cheryl and Liza would come a bit later by Portkey. The girls took off, and were gone.

Meanwhile, Amber had just arrived at an old house. This was where all the spells had pointed her. Pretty inconspicuous. She walked in silently, not knowing that she was already being watched.
She was ambushed shortly after she entered the house. She was thrown in a dungeon cell. There were two sleeping inhabitants, but she couldn't see them. About an hour later, one of them stirred.
Who's there? a girl's voice said. Amber knew that voice!
Kim? Kim, it's Amber. Where's Candice?
Amber? You came for us! I knew you would. Candice is right here with me. We've been here for days. Kim was smiling through the darkness. The smile fell. Wait, you got caught too?
Amber nodded sadly. I was ambushed. I wasn't thinking straight at all. We'll get outta here, I promise.

May 22

Amber, Kim and Candice were all dragged out of their cell to a large room. They were all wondering what was going on, and why they were there. They heard footsteps, and Amber was thrown out from the group to face whoever it was. When the person came into view, Amber went white.
Her own mother stood before her, but her eyes glowed slightly red in the darkness, a sign that what Cheryl had suspected was indeed true. Maureen's sleeves were rolled up to her shoulders, revealing the C emblem on her arm.
So....You're the one I'm supposed to fight against? Pitiful. Maureen spat. Amber cringed. She'd never be able to fight her own mother. Sir, you must be joking. She's not even old enough to use her magical powers outside school yet.
I assure you, Maureen, do not be fooled. She is stronger then she is leading you to believe she is. Cell called from somewhere above them.
Just as Amber's friends and family were arriving without detection, an interesting scene unfolded. Maureen was shouting curses at Amber, who was doing all she could to dodge them. One finally got her, and she tumbled across the floor. Maureen walked over, a triumphant smile donning her features. She raised her wand hand.
You should have realized that a young girl could never rival a full-grown witch. She hissed.
But then their eyes locked. It was something about Amber's eyes, which would never, not even in later years, be understood. The reddish glow receded from Maureen's eyes, and she dropped her wand, falling to her knees, her breath becoming labored, from fear. Amber felt, for the first time, a twinge of fear herself. She ran to her mother and wrapped her in a warm embrace, trying to help her to calm down.
Oh God... Maureen whispered. One word.....sob......One word and I would have killed you. I'm sorry.
Amber comforted her mother until Cell could take it no more and shot a blast at them. Amber pulled her mother from the blast, just getting away herself.
No one to help you now, Amber. Cell said.
That's what you think!
Amber looked up to see her friends as well as Mary, Cheryl and Liza coming out of the shadows. It was Tory who had spoken. Amber brought her mother over to Cheryl, telling her to keep an eye on Maureen.
Eventually, the battle became very bad for all of them. In an act of bravery owed completely to her heart and quick thinking, Candice had pushed Amber out of the way of a deadly blast. She was killed. With a scream of pure rage, Kim lunged forward at Cell. She was beaten quickly, and Cell killed her too. Alicia was badly hurt and laying at the opposite wall. Tory was underneath a barrier shield Amber had put up around the adults. At a particularly hard hit Amber received, Tory screamed. Mary was, needless to say, freaking out. There was no explanation for it. Tory was safe in here. Amber flew over quickly at Tory's scream.
What's going on?! Amber said frantically.
Amber, there's an old prophecy about Cell. that two people would be linked the way Tory seems to be affected by the punches you are taking. Try not to get hit. She feels the pain every time! Cheryl told her. Amber nodded and left again.
Amber stood on the ground, anger coursing through her.
He killed my father, he killed Kim and Candice. he tried to control my mother and kill my family.' she thought. Her power level was sky-rocketing. Her hair was turning yellow and her eyes green. She went super-saiyan for the first time. She set her sights on Cell and flew at him. Cell disappeared. Amber looked around.
No!! He ran again!! she yelled. She lost grip on her new power, and fainted again.

June 10

Their lives had returned to basic normalcy, except that Kim and Candice weren't with them. Amber thought there had to be a way to bring them back, but she couldn't remember how. It was that morning it came to her.
The DragonBalls! She said excitedly. Cheryl, who had been washing a plate, was startled into dropping it. She caught it before it hit the ground.
The what? Amber, don't scare me like that. she said when she set the plate down. Amber had run to her room to find a book. She came back out with it and sat down, searching.
Found it! The DragonBalls are scattered across our planet. when we find them and get them together, we can make two wishes. Cheryl looked confused. Liza and Jessica, who had just come into the room, did too.
Don't you see? Amber asked them. They all stared at her. We can wish people back from the dead with these things! We gotta find them!
And so Amber created a locator for them and they all looked. once all together, they summoned the dragon. Amber wished back all who were killed by Cell. Kim and Candice appeared in front of them. But someone else did too. Someone unexpected.
Amber's father. Amber ran to him and hugged him tightly.
This took getting used to. Maureen and Alan seemed extremely uncomfortable around one another. Amber tried to get them to talk, but it never seemed to work. She gave up and left them to talk on their own as she and her friends trained for the Tournament, which Amber, Tory, and Alicia had decided to enter this year. Now older enought to fight with the adults, Alan was going to enter too.

June 23, morning before the tournament

Amber went to wake her father at 11:00. They had only two hours before they had to be at the tournament. She went to his room, but he wasn't there. She shrugged and went to wake her mother, who Never slept past 9:30. When she got there, she noticed something odd. Someone was singing in her mother's private shower/bathroom, but her mom was in bed still.
Oh.....My.....God.' Amber thought as she realized the voice was male. Amber smirked evilly and shook her mother slightly. Maureen stirred and opened her eyes. She started when she saw Amber. Word to the wise mother dear. Make sure he's out before everyone's awake next time, eh? She then turned and walked out, Maureen still gaping at her.
Amber sat down at the table and groaned. That i did not need to see.
What happened? All you did was go to wake your parents. Cheryl said curiously. Amber chuckled.
Dad's awake. And taking a shower in mom's bathroom. He wasn't in his room.
Cheryl brow furrowed. But there's a bathroom right next door to his room. Why.....? she clapped a hand over her mouth, then started to laugh. Maureen walked in.
Oh, stop laughing, both of you. That was mortifying enough. she said huffily. Alan walked in a moment later, smiling.
Morning all! he said.
What's so good about it? Said Maureen. Alan raised an eyebrow and looked at Amber and Cheryl, who shrugged, still stifling giggles.
They met up with their friends at the gates and registered, those who were going to. They said good-bye to everyone else who was going to be sitting in the audience. amber noticed her parents holding hands, which she was positive no one had noticed. She looked pointedly at Cheryl, and they laughed slightly at how awkward the two were being.
The tournament was better in the adult division. The final match ended in a draw between Amber and her father. They all went home, ate and went to bed. amber hoped she'd never have to go through anything like the end of her 5th year again.
