Author's Note: This is Chapter Seven, almost there!
-CelestialTime93
"Wow!" Kim awed when she saw the finished blade, "Ron, this looks so much bigger than my normal fang!"
"It is your normal fang though!" Ron said in approvement, "So, do you like it?"
"I love it! Thank you so much! You're such a good friend!"
"RON!" Tara snapped behind them.
"You didn't tell Tara, did you?" Kim asked.
"No, I didn't." Ron answered, "Yeow!"
"I told you not to ruin my sister's reputation!" Tara snapped, pulling on Ron's ear, "Now what am I gonna tell her, she's gonna kill me! What do I tell her? The demon's mortal friend created a blade for the demon protector of the school? Oh sure, she'll believe me! Not!"
"Tara, it's all my fault!" Kim said, "I used the puppy-dog pout on him!"
"You?" Tara asked in fury, "Why?"
"I needed one!" Kim answered, "My mother told me that I had to weild a sword for now until I learned how to use my powers properly."
"You told her!" Tara exclaimed, letting go of Ron's ear.
"She was a demon back in her college days, does that make more sense to you!" Kim yelled.
"What was her name?"
"Andrea Martin," Kim answered, "At least, that was her name before she got married. Now she's Andrea Possible. Why ask?"
"We're gonna do some research. But, for now. I'll let you two go this time. But if you find me in a bad mood when I come back next year for sophomore's year, then you will pay."
"The restricted vault?" Kim questioned Tara, "Why are all of the books about the past protectors in there?"
"Because each one holds a curse." Tara answered, "You can't go in unless you have a fairy or a demon to guide you. Luckily, we have you, Kim!"
"Guys, I have no experiance of a full demon, I'm only half."
"But you've got the sword that Ron made you. That's the next best thing."
"Why do you need a sword until you can tame your powers?"
"Since the blade is created by a demon's fang, it holds great powers of the demon itself, only it makes it easier for the beginner demon to use. Without the sword, the demon might as well just become mortal again. By the way, do you know why the Pendulam of Avalon is called a pendulam and not a pendant?"
"No, and I've wondered why."
"Because it's not really a pendant. It's a pendulam key for all sorts of doors. Including the Restricted Vault. It's the only thing that will let us in. Just take the pendulam off of your neck and swing it side to side ten times, and the door will open. Remember, you can do it to any locked door. And to lock it, do the same thing."
Kim took off the pendulam off of her neck, and held it infront of her. And began to swing it.
One... Two...
"What's going on there!" a voice bellowed.
"Oh no!" Tara hissed, "It's Proffesser Pellitier! If she finds out we're here, we're doomed!"
Six... Seven...
"Hurry!"
"Eight..." Kim counted, "Nine... Ten!"
Then pendulam stopped swinging in the middle, then glowed a bright teal. The vault's door did the same, then opened.
Kim, Ron, and Tara got in. Rufus stayed hidden in Ron's pocket.
"Come back here!" Proffeser Pellitier cried.
"Kim!" Ron cried, "Close the gate!"
Kim held up her pendulam, and swung it ten times quickly, then, the door slammed closed, and locked itself up.
"Phew!" Tara wiped her forehead, "That was too close! We are not doing that again!"
"This was your idea!" Kim cried.
"Okay, I admit!" Tara cried, "Let's just try to find Andrea Martin's book. A little light would do, Kim."
"How?"
"You have the powers of all elements. Make a fireball or something."
"How's this?" Kim snapped her claws and formed a small fireball, floating on her open palm.
"Much better." Tara answered.
"Hey, guys!" Ron cried from the end of the vault, "I found the book on Kim's mom!"
Kim and Tara ran to where Ron and Rufus were, to see a flaring red book.
"Great," Tara heaved annoyed as Rufus tried to touch the book, "How are going to get it now? If we extinguish the fire, the dark demons are gonna get released and we're all gonna die!"
"YEOW!" Rufus squeaked, "Too hot."
"It's even too hot for Rufus!" Ron said.
"But what about for a demon?" Kim said.
"Give it a shot, KP!" Ron answered, making way for Kim.
"This is locked." Kim answered, studying the book, "It's too small for the pendulam, and it's way to small for a key to fit it. Hold on a sec, this lock looks a lot like a scratch hole for a type of attack. I wonder..."
Kim pulled out her sword and slashed it, crying out, "Demon Fang!"
The blue slash fit the hole perfectly!
"Yes!" Tara cried.
"Booyah!" Ron and Rufus exclaimed.
"No big!" Kim said, and picked up the now non-fiery book. She opened it up to see a picture of her mother back in the college days, only in demon form. She had long, silver hair, two horse ears poking out her head, a transparent crystal horn, black claws, and crystalline blue eyes. The blue eyes were natural for Kim's mother.
"Andrea Martin..." Kim read out loud, "The next, from a long line of generations, Demon Protector of the school of Middleton College. Born on a late autumn, the Pendulam of Avalon found her one night, and transformed her into a demon overnight. For four full years of her college years, she was the Demon Protector of this school. With her half demonic powers, the spirit of The Unicorn Demon and her mortal soul were united and prevent the school of not being of what it is today. She had saved many lives, and we were proud to have her as a student. Now, according to the stars, her future daughter, Kimberly Ann Possible, will take on her legend and protect the school from the evil that awaits us in the future..."
Kim looked up. "They knew I was gonna be a Demon Protector." Kim whispered, "They knew all along..."
"Well, for starters, I didn't know!" Tara said.
"Me neither." Ron answered.
"Not me." Rufus chittered.
"Then," Kim said, "Who knew?"
Who knew? Well, find that out next time at Chapter Eight: Every Time I Breathe. Featuring the song "Every Time I Breathe" by "The Backstreet Boys!"
