Chapter 2: In Unsuspected Places
Will's POV
"That was good Hay Lin!" Will yelled to the sky. "Now aim and fly into the hoop and Irma can get rid of the fire."
Irma's hands started sparkling with blue magic and she pumped water at the ring of fire that Taranee had made. She doused it out instantly right before Hay Lin went flying through the hoop, whooping and spinning around.
"Yes! Cornelia."
Cornelia punched at the ground and it opened with a hiss and thin ropey vines shot out. She urged them up to the sky and they grabbed Hay Lin after she spun around trying to avoid them. Taranee ran to the vines and her fist filled with fire. She slashed the vines with her hand and they fell to the ground leaving Hay Lin to fly around again.
"Wahoo!" she yelled. She did several back flips and flew around them again getting ready for more.
"Okay, now you go Hay Lin!" Will yelled again standing in a ready position. Hay Lin nodded and blew a huge gust of wind at them. Will through her hands over her head and made a pink force field that causeed the air to go over their heads. Hay Lin landed and they all were smiling.
"That was great!" Will exclaimed. "Now we've been getting more practice on helping each other out. Thanks for volunteering for being the victim Hay Lin."
"Oh no problem. It was fun. No harm done!"
"Hey, do you guys want to change back and go get some ice cream?" Irma asked. "Survival at magic practice deserves a reward!" Taranee laughed.
"Yeah let's go. I need something sweet to eat."
Will brought out the Heart of Candracar and they switched back to their normal selves. Back to the young teenagers they are.
"I love being a Guardian!" Hay Lin yelled hopping around on the sidewalk.
"Calm down Hay Lin. There were only a couple people down the street who didn't hear you." Said Cornelia.
"Well, the only thing we can do now is practice and be prepared for whenever the Oracle needs us." Taranee said twisting her beads around.
"Yeah, and in the meantime, to just be average girls again." Cornelia added.
"Oh no! My cell phone's gone!" Will cried out suddenly.
"What do you mean it's gone?" asked Irma impatiently.
"I mean it must have fallen out where we had magic practice." Will said. "You guys can go ahead if you want."
"Here, I'll help you look for it." Irma said, walking with Will back to the construction site.
"Fine with me." Cornelia said, and for some reason, she threw a very dirty look at Irma before sweeping her blonde hair around and walking along on the sidewalk with Hay Lin and Taranee. Hay Lin looked back at them and then again at Cornelia. She made a signal to Will and mouthed 'Talk to her' before turning back around and walking forward. Will nodded and her and Irma kept walking back to where they had just been practicing.
"So, what was that look about?" Will asked her as they walked into the construction site.
"What look?" Irma asked innocently while getting down to look for the cell phone.
"I mean, that ugly look that Cornelia gave you before she walked off. Don't even pretend you didn't notice. What did you do?"
Irma sighed and looked like she was annoyed at something. She muttered things under her breath and started to roll her eyes a lot. When she didn't seem like she was going to crack, Will tried to make her.
"Irma! Are you going to tell me or not? I can use the Heart and stop your powers from working. You know I can do it."
Irma rolled her eyes again, but then smiled.
"Okay, I guess you win then. Cornelia thinks that I told the Grumper sisters a rumor about her. It's really stupid really. Just because I was teasing her about it, she thinks that it was me who told them. I'm not that stupid. I didn't want her to follow me around throwing earth at me or something and-"
"Can you please get on with it! Oh check over there where I was standing earlier." Irma moved and started searching the grass again while talking.
"Well, the day before yesterday, I met up with Cornelia in the front of school before the bell rang. Then we saw Taranee's brother, Peter coming to drop her off and decided to wait for her to walk in. We got to the car and greeted Taranee and Peter, and that was when I realized that Cornelia was totally blushing! She could barely mumble a word in front of her brother. I was happy that I had something on her and I intended on getting the facts straight once we got away from the car."
"So, what about Caleb?" Will asked.
"That's what I thought." Said Irma as she looked over by some rubble. "Hey are you sure you had it before we transformed?"
"Positive. Now what happened?" Will asked.
"I gained up on her and told her I saw her blushing around Peter. She denied and told me that I didn't know what I was talking about. That wasn't going to stop me so I kept asking about Caleb and who she was going to go out with now. She yelled at me and shook me off when we had to go to class. The next day, I came to school and heard that a rumor was being spread about Cornelia having a love triangle with Peter and Caleb." Irma sighed.
"Let me guess, the Grumper sisters were listening to every word of your conversation."
"Bingo! Then when Cornelia found out about the rumor, she confronted them. They told her that I passed on the information. Now she's mad at me!" Irma cried throwing her hands in the air. "Those stupid sisters! I wish they could mind their own business for once."
Will nodded when her eyes moved over something sticking out of the grass.
"Aha! I got it. You know you need to talk to her and explain exactly what happened. Most likely, Hay Lin will get her to come over and talk with you." Will said sticking her cell phone back into her bag carefully. They got up and started heading out again.
"I don't know, maybe. Hey Will! What's that?"
"What's what?" she asked turning around.
"That! Behind the bush!"
Will furrowed her eyebrows and looked to where Irma was pointing. A blue light was shining brightly from behind it.
"I don't know. Let's go check it out." Will said as she walked over to the mysterious light.
It was definitely weird. Will started to get a funny feeling in her chest. Something was making her go forward. Getting a little uneasy, Will brought out the Heart of Candracar. A huge gust of wind passed over them and towards the light. Will stepped behind the bush with Irma by her side. They were standing in front of a mirror. Will realized at once that this was where the blue light had come from. At the Heart of Candracar being in front of it however, the mirror started shooting sparks of pink, blue, orange, green, and silver everywhere.
"Those are our colors!" Irma yelled. "What's going on? What is it?"
"I'm having a funny feeling about now." Will said faintly.
"Are you getting dizzy? Should I prepare to catch you?" Irma asked jokingly grabbing Will's arm and pretending to help her up.
"Actually no. I don't think it's connected to Metamoor. It's like a light headed feeling, like sharing a big burden. Releif."
Will's heart hammered inside her chest. All her other feelings in her body were shut down. All she knew was that if she didn't touch it, something bad was going to happen. Two other figures started getting clearer in the mirror. Will stretched her fingers toward it. A feeling so powerful was coursing through her.
"Will! After all we've been through, do you think that it's such a good idea to touch it?" Irma questioned uncertainly.
"It's telling me to." Will answered. The colors flashed in her eyes when she heard footsteps nearby. Nothing else mattered though. Magic was calling her towards it. Her hand went right through it.
All Will saw was dizziness. There were shapes everywhere and colors flashed by her eyes. Everything was confusing! She just wanted it to end.
"Ow!" Irma cried as Will and her hit hard floor. They rolled over and groaned rubbing their heads. When they finally looked up, they noticed shelves everywhere. Tons of differently colored books filled them and there were tables and comfy chairs around them.
"It looks like a bookstore." Will answered Irma's unasked question as she looked closer at the shelf in front of her. "Look this one has been hit by lightning."
"How do you even know that?" Irma asked gazing at the bookcase quizzingly.
Will shrugged. "I can tell where energy has been. Wait! What are those?" Will and Irma looked at the middle shelf and saw a few books of a series that had survived. Picking them up they looked at the covers.
"W.i.t.c.h.?" Irma asked. Then her eyes opened wide and they both looked at each other.
"No!"
"No way!"
They grabbed another book and flipped through the pages. There were a couple of colorful pictures of teenage girls. Names stuck out, monsters looked familiar…
"This is about us!" Will yelped dropping the book.
"My gosh! We've gone public!" Irma yelled feeling like she was going to faint.
Will looked at the book on the floor. She was at the front holding the Heart of Candracar and Cornelia and Taranee were next with Irma and Hay Lin in the back. They were all smiling. It really disturbed her.
"The power of five." She whispered.
"Will? Do you think that we're-"
"I don't know!" Will said looking at herself holding the Heart of Candracar. This was very weird, this was bad! Fear had overcome her at last as she looked back at Irma.
"Irma?" she asked softly. "Where are we?"
I know it was kind of dull at the beginning but I guess it got more interesting at the end. Oh, I've written a lot today. My fingers feel like they're permanently attached to the keyboard. Enjoy this chapter and stay tuned for chapter three coming soon! Review please!
