Chapter 11
Apprentice Jed: Who's Sorcerer Noah?
Fagtron: This person Sorceress Myst is in love with. I don't know what that means but it makes her blush a lot.
Apprentice Jed: Heh, heh, heh. Is that so?
Fagtron: Yeah, she went all crazy when I said he was coming over last time.
Apprentice Jed: Okay, so you go send the invitations and I'll take care of the party preparations.
Fagtron: huh? (starts drooling like an idiot)
Apprentice Jed: (sigh) I'll make the room all pretty.
Fagtron: YEA!
Apprentice Jed: SSSHHH! Oh and please don't invite your pyromaniacs tribe.
Fagtron: I don't think they'll come. They're afraid of you.
Apprentice Jed: Good, let's get started.
Sorceress Myst: Started with what?
Apprentice Jed: N-nothing. (whispers) Go Fagtron! (Fagtron runs away)
Sorceress Myst: Did you tell Fagtron that there's a shortage of gold flakes again?
Apprentice Jed: No, and 'I do not own CCS or any of its characters except for Xylona (Mysty), Eiryn, Xavier, and Onica'
Sorceress Myst: Well …I guess I'll go clean things.
Apprentice Jed: Now on with the story.

"Try it again Dawn." Onica ordered. Dawn nodded and pretended to fall on the bleachers again. They both looked at Mysty in hopes that she will at least make fun of Dawn, but she just continued to stare at the football field.
"Hey guys! The cheerleaders are about to do the cheer and it's the saxophone section's turn." Cried Holly as she made her way to the bottom of the bleachers. After half time the first row of the bleachers are watered down making it easy to slide and make the crowd laugh. Dawn and Onica grinned and pulled Mysty down with them to accomplish the tradition.
"Every body here lets hear you cheer. BLACK BLACK BLACK BLACK!!!" the saxophone section quickly slid to the other side after shouting black and began to shout, "GOLD GOLD GOLD GOLD!!!" then they slid to the middle of the bleachers to shout "BLACK GOLD BLACK GOLD!!!" Once they returned to the place they started to go again, Mysty finally woke up from her daze and joined the others. On the last slide she forgot to grab the railing and knocked down the entire section. They returned to their seats when the band director finished scolding them.
"Whoo hoo! We lost! AGAIN!" Mysty shouted, realizing the game was finally over.
"Yea! Now we can start packing for our trip to Arkansas" Onica squealed.
*********************************************
"Dimitri ran away from her duties to lead a safer life in America. She came to America because Americans stopped believing in magic and the people who possessed them. In Syria, sorcerers and sorceresses are a thin line between heroes or national enemies, even if they were royalty! If a person had magical powers then they would be outcasts unless they could prove themselves." Mysty rolled her eyes at the story that her father was telling.
"You both should be proud that you are descendants of Dimitri and Mysty should be proud to inherit her powers."
"Yes, I should be grateful that my great grandmother gave me magical powers so I can live in fear everyday." Mysty muttered bitterly. Onica frowned and silenced her by elbowing her in the stomach.
"Dimitri said the same thing, but one day she realized the purpose of having the blessing of Mana."
"Ooh, I haven't heard this story." Onica said. She was more interested in family stories then Mysty was. Mysty rolled her eyes and looked out the car window.
"Despite her great life, Dimitri suddenly disappeared. She left her family behind to save the country she turned her back on."
"Did she ever return to her new life?" Onica asked.
" …Only on the day of her death. I remember her still, …she looked like you two but had silver hair. I really wish you were listening Mysty"
"Don't be so hard on her, she's just a teenager." Onica and Mysty's mother said in a gentle voice.
Ever since the car left the driveway, Mysty had a feeling something bad was going to happen. The family only traveled for two hours but still was in Texas. The sun was shining and the temperature felt great since it was in the low 90's. Mysty and the others suffered through 100 degree weather for the past two weeks and was kinda sad when they thought 94 degrees was a cool day. Mysty decided to gripe about the weather to get on everyone's nerves. She was a rainy day type and made sure the all the people in the car knew about it. Then finally, Mysty's bad omen wakened. The car was blown off the bridge by strong gusts of wind. When Mysty came to, she found herself laying on the ground a few feet away from the flaming car. Next to her was the lifeless form of her beloved twin sister.
"I guess I'll have to use my powers. Then I'll find mom and dad and help them." Mysty thought as she slowly lifted herself in a sitting position.
"Phoenix, save my family!" She cried. Millions of red sparks shot from her hand and formed into a brightly colored bird that had wings of fire. Phoenix let out a shrill call as it hovered over Onica and was about to restore her life when suddenly a beam of light attacked the fire bird from behind.
"NO!" Mysty shouted once the Phoenix began to disintegrate and return to the earth.
"It's better for them to die. We don't need them." The rusty haired boy with red eyes said.
"Eiryn!"
"Now nothing can come between us. Come with me Mysty, and I will give you all the dreams you ever wanted." He pulled out a gun and aimed at her heart, "It's not like you have much of a choice anyway."
Mysty gulped and stared at the gun, "Oh why didn't I ask dad how to cast magic?"
"If you stare at the gun and think about burning fire, then you should be able to cast a fire spell." Mysty did what the voice told her to and soon the gun was nothing but a pool of melted metal. Eiryn stepped back then tried to tackle Mysty. Suddenly, she somehow learned martial arts and gave him a swift kick that sent him flying back. Mysty cast a wind spell on Eiryn that carried him back to where ever he came from.
Mysty felt really tired and fell down. She closed her eyes and began to wonder who that voice was.
"You are a sorceress no?"
"Yes, but who are you?"
"I am a Clow Card. I am called 'The Gifted'. I see your energy is too low to cast many spells so I will become one with you until you gain enough energy to cast spells. I can teach you everything in one second if you wish."
"Okay, but I can't just take your offer without giving something in return."
"All you have to do is to not get yourself killed and to take me to the Cardcaptor when the time comes. Now sleep, you must regain lost energy."
"Okay…" Mysty whispered as the sleep spell claimed her body. But before she fell into deep sleep, she wondered if her family was going to be alright.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorceress Myst: Why is the Gifted Card helping Mysty? Are Mysty's parents still alive? Did Eiryn finally give up? Why are all the lights off in this studio? Find out in the next chapter and someone turn on a light before I trip over something! (Lights come on)
Everyone in the room except Myst: Happy Late Valentines Day!
Sorceress Myst: Wha?

Sorceress Myst: What happened Celine? You're covered in bandages!
Sorceress Celine: I was flying home on New Years Eve when suddenly all these fireworks hit me! And I was over your studio too! (Sorceress Myst and Apprentice Jed look up at the ceiling and started to whistle innocently)
Fagtron: I lit fireworks! ME! ME! ME!
Sorceress Celine: …Well I guess I can't get mad at an idiot. (Sorcerer Noah enters the studio)
Sorceress Myst: You invited him!
Apprentice Jed: Yeah, Fagtron said you turn into an interesting shade of red when you see him. (Sorceress Myst kicks Fagtron across the room) Ouch.
Sorcerer Noah: (gives Sorceress Myst a bouquet of roses with a bag of Hershey's Kisses and a card that says 'Have a kiss') Happy Valentines Day (blushes)
Sorceress Myst: (Blushes as well) Thanks.
Servo: Aaww how sweet. Can I be the best man at the wedding? (Fagtron sneaks up to Servo)
Fagtron: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY MOMMY!!!
Servo: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! (jumps all the way to the chandelier and gets stuck)
