A fan fiction by Kate-chan 91
Disclaimer: W.I.T.C.H. is initially constructed in Italy before it's sent and translated to other countries. I'm going to Italy for the first time in June- how I can I own the series then?
Kate-chan 91's tidbits (A/N): Wow… I've actually updated this… Just to tell y'all, I rarely update if I have a lack of reviews, but still… I updated!
Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Seven: Betrayal7777
The last two weeks were hectic for everyone in the town of Heatherfield. First of all, severe thunderstorms suddenly formed out of nowhere, even when weather conditions weren't suitable for such weather. Furthermore, these very storms caused devastating fires to occur, therefore making local firefighters busier than ever. In addition, paramedics and other hospital personnel rarely had time for even a lunch break since so many fire victims were coming in to be treated. Last but not least, five girls were constantly waiting and searching for the final part of their task to appear: the twelfth and final portal, the sole remaining open stitch in the fabric of the veil. Consequently, one question popped in their heads during the final countdown: When and where in their beautiful town would it strike?
That very question was answered at the end of that fortnight when one of the girls, Nerissa, collapsed onto the sidewalk with a mind numbing headache which made her extremely dizzy. This had become stationary for the girls as time progressed. Immediately responding to this, three of the other four helped transport her while the fifth and final girl Yan Lin traced the whereabouts of the final portal via her map, antique and enchanted.
When the girls reached the location of the final portal, the local power plant, they checked if the coast was clear before Nerissa let out her palm, causing the Heart of Kandrakar to emerge for the final time. It then proceeded to divide into five different colored teardrops, one for each girl and element. Drifting towards each girl in the manner of her element, they changed them from average citizens to the super-powered, beautiful guardians of the veil.
As soon as their brief transformations were completed, the five guardians lined up together in front of the giant portal. As they were about to magically shut it out of business, Nerissa suddenly remembered the worst times she had experienced with her friends, including Yan Lin accidentally spilt fresh from the wok Chinese food onto her lap when they were eight and when Cassidy not once, but twice unintentionally "bumped" into her while she was on her red bicycle; a six-year-old Nerissa left the hospital emergency room with a cast and a pair of crutches for her broken leg. All these flashbacks happened as her and their magic combined into one magical bullet towards the portal, which exploded into infinity upon impact.
Their celebration was a short one, however. They didn't even realize they were still in guardian form until Yan Lin flew into the air long after they were supposed to change back.
"What is going on?" Kadma stated, summing up everyone's thoughts. "I thought we would change back as soon as we closed the twelfth portal!"
"Maybe the Oracle himself wants to see us!" Yan Lin hypothesized.
"That's possible… but how would we get to Kandrakar? We can't fly- only you can! I also don't thing we will actually go to the point of teleporting us there!" Nerissa pointed out.
"Well, Great Auntie Carole did tell me you can reach Kandrakar by crossing an air-colored bridge…" Cassidy told Nerissa and the other guardians.
Halinor responded, "Interesting! Now to find the bridge…"
As they were walking around the plant for the air-colored bridge, Nerissa started asking herself questions What would Kandrakar be like? What would the Oracle say to them, and what would happen to them? Would the Oracle- No, he wouldn't, no, couldn't take the Heart away from her… Cassidy's great aunt had it with her the day they became guardians… But Nerissa kept thinking, it was possible for her to have received the Heart from Kandrakar that day… Nerissa wouldn't allow it!
"STOP!" the Keeper of the Heart suddenly yelled. The remaining guardians turned around and stared at her with expressions on their faces asking, 'What is going on?'
"We… shouldn't go to Kandrakar." She replied to their body language.
"Okay… and why shouldn't we again?" Cassidy asked.
"Don't you see? The Oracle may take away the very gifts no one else has! I will not cross a bridge to a place where I may lose the one thing that kept me going through twelve headaches that were so severe aspirin couldn't help me!"
"We're still going to be your friends, Nerissa…" Cassidy attempted to reassure her.
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Nerissa screamed at the top of her lungs. "I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU GUYS, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE HEART OF KANDRAKAR!"
All four other guardians were completely flabbergasted as the Keeper of the Heart and their fellow guardian turned and slowly walked towards them. When she reached them, she said, "I can always replace certain things. Friendship is one of them… CASSIDY!"
"Y-y-yes?"
Nerissa moved back a couple of steps. "Come here!" she yelled when she stopped. The water guardian slowly stepped towards her friend.
Cassidy didn't expect for a second that Nerissa would wrap her hands around her neck. She could feel the life being sucked out of her as force was further applied; it felt great to breathe again when Nerissa released her grip and pushed her back.
"Nerissa, why are you doing th-" Cassidy didn't even her sentence when Nerissa blasted a hot-pink ray of magic at her to the point you couldn't even see her. When everything cleared, Cassidy couldn't be seen; she had been reduced to a tiny pile of soot.
As Nerissa walked towards the remaining three guardians, whom obviously were appalled that anyone, especially a friend had killed one of them, an evil smile was pasted onto her face. Unlike their fallen guardian, however, they knew what could happen.
"Oh no, you don't!" Halinor exclaimed with anger.
"You may have killed one of us, you heartless creep, but the rest of us are ready to fight you!" Yan Lin said.
"We'll fight you with both our hearts beating as one!" Kadma yelled at Nerissa.
"United we stand-"
"Divided we fall-"
"In our struggle to avenge Cassidy!"
End of Chapter Seven
A/N: It's going to be rrreeallly violent as far as I can tell next chappie!
Before you go and review, I would like to clear up two things:
1) I know that it's Thanos, not Thorus; the mountain's name is changed for a reason: It's not named that yet! The Oracle will change it at the end of this fanfic, honese injun.
2) Okay, okay, so Cassidy actually died during the fight in the original W.I.T.C.H., but something intrigued me to somewhat alter it for some reason.
Ja Ne!
