Disclaimer-I don't own WITCH
Scottgrubb: she wasn't wishing death on Will, she was just opening up to possibilities, incase something happens to Will, get it? Okay, yea, it's lame, but no one told you to read the story.
Chapter 9-Only a Miracle
Taranees' POV
Taranee shuffled her feet as she stood outside the door to Wills' hospital room. A week. Longer even, and still, she hadn't gone in. But she had made a new friend. Katelyn came by everyday while her dad talked to the doctor about one thing or another. Katelyn remained optimistic. She knew her mom would get better.
Must be nice, Taranee thought. She heard a sniffling sound from behind her, and looked around. Katelyn had rounded the corner looking absolutely miserable.
"Hi Taranee", she muttered, "What's up?"
"Hi Katelyn", Taranee said quietly, "What's wrong?" Even thought she knew, she asked.
Katelyn looked up, tears in her eyes, "She's gone. My mommy…died…"
Taranee bit her lip to keep from crying, "Katelyn…"
"Why?" Katelyn asked, "Why my mommy? She never did anything wrong, she was a good person, why-"
"Oh Katelyn", Taranee said, sighing, "These things don't happen because someone is being published for something they did wrong, there's no reason for it. They could just be going about their normal, everyday business, or…just doing their job…"
"Katelyn", said a gruff voice from behind Taranee. The only person it could have been was Katelyns' father.
"Daddy!" Katelyn pratically flew at her father, hugging him tightly.
"You must be Taranee", he said, notcing Taranee. She nodded shyly, and he gave her a warm smile.
"Katelyn hasn't stopped talknig about you for a week", he said, patting his daughters' head fondly, "Dunno what you've done to her, but she's been doing so much better this last week, really…" he broke off with a sigh, "Time to go Katelyn"
"Kay", but as she turned to leave, she looked back at Taranee, "Hey Taranee? I hope your friend Will gets better"
She watched Katelyn round the corner for the last time, and sighed. She knew now, what she had to do.
Hay Lins' POV
Hay Lin sighed as she walked along the rivers' edge. This was where everything had first started. Everything…
"Uh oh", Hay Lin snapped out of her thoughts. She'd found…a portal. It took her a second to figure out where it had come from, then she remembered that they had never shut the last portal they'd found, they'd been to worried about Will. Hay Lin grabbed her cell phone. No matter what happened, she still needed her friends.
Wills' POV
"Unh", Will had become pretty familiar with the ground. Everytime she had a little success with her powers, it completely wiped her out.
"You're getting better", the old lady said, helping Will up.
"Better?" Will asked, "I'm getting worse, if anything!"
"It will have to do", the lady said, "For now it was time we part"
"What!" Will cried. This was just way to much. What next?
"When you return", she said, "things will be a little hectic. Do not worry, soon everything will become clear"
Smoke started to fog Wills' vision. She knew she was going back to Earth. But she had to know-
"Give my love to Hay Lin, Will", the lady said.
"Mrs. Lin!" but that was all Will had time for, before she disapeared out of Candrcar.
Imras' POV
Irma folded her arms huffily, and stared stonily ahead. Hay Lin had called her to tell her about a portal that she had found, and of course, Irma came running right over. Of course, Hay Lin was smart, and conviently forgot to mention Cornelia would be there to. If Irma had known Conelia would be there, she'd have point blank refused. Which was probably why Hay Lin didn't tell her.
Cornelia squirmed incomfortably next to her. Irma knew Corny was no happier about this then she was. They both felt tricked.
"Something's coming through!" Hay lin hissed, snapping Irma out of her thoughts. Something was comnig through. Something big.
Taranees' POV
Taranees' hand shook as she reached for the knob of the door. She knew she had to go in, but that didn't make her feel any better. In fact, it made her feel worse. She turned the knob shakily, still not sure about this. She opened the door and stepped in.
The first thign she saw was Will. She looked dead. Taranee shuddered. She didn't wanna think about that. The second thing she saw was Wills' hand. It was twitching. Just a little, but…
"W-Will?" Taranee stammered, not sure what else to say.
"Unh", Will groaned soflty, her eyes opening slowly, "What? Where-?"
"Will!" Taranee yelled. She ran over to Will and pulled her into hug, not sure what else to say.
"Ah!" Will exclaimed, "Taranee!"
"Sorry!" Taranee cried, pulling herself away from Will, "Sorry, didn't mean to hurt you, it's just…"
"What happened?" Will asked.
"It's a long story", Taranee sighed.
Hay Lins POV
"No Hay Lin, she's still not home", Peter said, a little impatient, "I'll have her call you when she gets back"
"Okay", Hay Lin hit 'end' on her cell phone, but she didn't have time to feel depressed. There was still a battle going on.
"AAAAHHHH!" Irma screamed, jumping out of the way the monsters attack. The thing was huge. It had blades running up and down its' arms and legs. Needless to say, it was anything but deffenseless. Irma was shooting stream after stream of water at the thing. Not that it was doing much good.
"Without Will and the crystal, we can't do much", Irma said angrily, "Now what?"
"We keep trying", Hay Lin said.
Taranees' POV
"Wow", Will said, flopping back on her pillow, "Over a week? No way…"
Wills' mom had already been to see Will, and had nearly screamed herself hoarse at her daughters miraculous recovery. Afterwards, a nurse had come and gently demanded that Mrs. Vandom went home and got some rest (she did look tired), and then a few doctors looked Will over to make sure there wasn't any permanent damage (there wasn't). And finally, the girls had been left to talk.
"A week…" Will said faintly, "Longer even…"
"It's okay Will", Taranee said quietly, "Really…"
"Huh?" Will held up her hand; the Heart of Candracar was glowing in her palm.
"Hay Lin must have left it", Taranee said, "Why-"
"Look!" Will cried, staring into the Heart, Taranee could make out three small figures, and one big one.
"The others are in trouble", Will said, throwing the blankets off, "We have to…"
Her voie falterd as she stood up, and she stumbled. Taranee grabbed her and held her steady.
"Are you crazy?" Taranee asked, "You've been in a coma for over a week, you can't-"
"Yes I can", Will recovered and grabbed her jacket from a nearby chair, "Coming?"
All Taranee could do was stare.
Irmas' POV
Irma dodged another lethal attack. Things weren't going to hot for them, she realized as Hay Lin and Cornelia landed next to her, both groaning and muttering to themselves. They needed a miracle…
"Fire!"
And boy did they get one. A fireball flew at the monster from behind them, a direct hit. Irma looked around andsaw somwthing that made her glow: Taranee and Will.
"Yes!" Hay Lin cheered, jumping up, "Will!"
"AAAHHH!" Will screamed and as Hay Lin hugged her. All Irma could manage was a weak look of shock. Cornelia fit in well with the shocked scheme.
"Hay Lin", Will said, gently pushing her friend away, "I do still have to breath, you know"
"What? Oh sorry", Hay Lin backed off, "it's just, the last time we saw you, you were…"
"A vegetable", Irma said blankly.
"Thanks Irma", Will said, a little hint of sarcasm in her voice, "Well, I like reunions as much as the next person, but we have things to do, so…"
She held up her hand; the Heart of Candracar appeared, and right then, Irma knew: everything was going to be okay.
Wills' POV
Will watched as a pink light blanketed her friends, and she couldn't help but smile. Their lives were anything but perfect, but hey, it definetly could have been worse.
"All right!" Irma cried as the light died away, "Time to show this monster who's in charge!"
"Somethings' never change", Will said quietly. The five girls took flight.
"Payback time!" Irma yelled, water shooting out of her hand, "This is for that…and that…and that…"
Taranee flew up to eye level with the monster, and shot a fire ball right at it's eye. From the sound of his roar, it hurt.
"Earth!" Cornelia cried. Vines flew out of the ground, restraining the monster. It didn't last long though. He broke free, one of his blades flying right at Will.
"Will!" Irma screamed. Before Will had time to think, she threw her hands up, and a pink shield formed around her. The monster blade bounced of it with a weird ting.
"Whoa", Irma said in a hushed voice, "Since when can Will do that?"
"Will!" Hay Lin yelled, "You okay?"
"Uh, yea", Will said shakily, "I'm fine…"
"Um, okay…", Taranee said, clearly freaked by Wills' new found powers, "Lets' just…get this monster back through the portal before it causes anymore trouble…"
"Right", Will said quickly. The girls fought valiantly, but this monster was just way to strong. Even with all five of them united, there was no way in the world they could win. Unless…
Will took a deep breath. From what Taranee had told her, she'd been in a coma for over a week, which equaled out to about how long she had been in Candrcar for. That was, considering how time mvoed in the two places. Time could have been faster or slower in the two dimensions. For all she knew, she'd been in Candracar for a month, by Candracar time. She was stalling her real thoughts though, and she knew it. She focused on the real task at hand, and then thought about her powers, which she could feel inside her. Her hands started glowing a brilliant pink, and before she knew it, she and the monster were both absorbed by a pink light. She focused all her energy on that one creature, that one beast that could destroy anything and everything she and her friends had been chosen to protect. She wasn't going to stand for that. She took aim, all her power still focused on that one monster. She fired. A giant ball of pink energy hit the monster. It roared a gurtly loud roar, and Will was surprised that none of the nearby windows to offices or anythign like that were broken by the sound. The monster flew backwards, and trough the portal. The light around Will died out, right along with any energy she had left. She landed back on the ground with a groan, and collapsed.
"Will!" she heard Irma yell. The next second, she was surrounded by her friends, all looking worried. She insisted that she was okay, but of couse, they wouldn't listen. Taranee finally decided they should get back to the hospital. Will hated to admit it, but that sounded like a good idea to her.
Well, I hate to say it, but after this, I only have one more chapter, and then this story is done. Kind of relieved actualy, but sad at the same time. Anyway, review, and I'll be back in a week (maybe a little longer) with another update. Cião!
