The Dream City

Ok people, I'm a first time writer, so don't be too mean if you don't like it, but I think it's a good story (perhaps a little bit too descriptive) and also comes with the second chapter

Endings and the icy, shy new girl

"It's over" Will cried

"It's over" the five young witches cried

"It's over" The people of Meridyan cried

"It's finally over" Elyon thought. From the top of her tower the young princess had seen it all: the raging battle between the five young girls and her brother, the real image of her castle, the terror that Phobos had unleashed over Meridyan, and, finally, the evil plans of her brother to steal her magic.

It all had happened in the blink of an eye, but yet it was so real. Meridyan was free, after the dark years of Phobos reigning and the struggle of the rebellion, after the hundreds of battles fought by the five young girls from beyond the veil, Meridyan could once again be free.

It all had happened so quickly, celebrations on the streets and within the palace itself, the expelling of Phobos dark beasts and the crowning ceremony of Meridyan's true queen. Hell, even the weather had fixed itself just for those happy moments.

But yet the guardians couldn't live in bliss forever, as the life on the other side of the veil just kept going, days kept passing, people continued living, and professors just kept sending 10 pages of homework just to annoy students.

A practice that was definitely getting into Will Vandom nerves.

"What the hell does that mean?" The Leading Guardian cried to her friend Taranee, the fire guardian.

"That means that you have to do crossed reduction to get to the result" For Taranee, multiplication of fractions was so easy and common that Will surprised her, it wasn't that hard to remember one special case in the gigantic world of numbers and operations.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, that makes sense, so that way I get to the result faster right?" She didn't care if it REALLY made sense, shejust wanted a way to end homework faster, damn it¡

"Will, are you actually getting it?" the fire guardian seemed to be able to read minds besides from controlling fire.

"Uuum, yes?" If will Vandom was bad at something (besides math) it was lying, plus she wasn't the one to get things the first time, or the second, or the third, or the fourth, or...

"Will, it's already 10 o'clock, say goodbye to Taranee and go to bed" The voice of her mother broke her chain of thought.

"Ok mum, sorry Taranee, but it's too late" Will looked really tired anyway.

"Oh, I think you should be sorry for yourself, you haven't finished even half of your homework"

"Oh, well, I can live without doing one assignment in the whole year, so?"She had been working really hard till now, and with summer break coming, she had given herself the right to relax a little.

"Bye Taranee"

"Bye".

As Will got into bed she started thinking about the life she was carrying. The days of being guardians had ended, but Meridyan still existed. Things in there were geting better,even after Phobos mess up. He had practically drained any beauty Meridyan ever had, and Ellyon had the duty to fix that. Will and her friends helped every once in a while, and Meridyan wasnowadays a true heaven. Years had passed from the days of Phobos defeat, and things had changed in the other side of the Veil also.

Will had to fix her constant disappereances by the one thing she had avoided: telling the truth. Her mother had believed her, and that was enough for her. Her mother had helped her through any other troubles she had while getting back to a normal life. Matt was still her boyfriend, and she didn't have any troubles with him (besides fighting for desert when they ate at Matt's house).

Taranee was in the middle of a battle, as she called it. The battle was clearly against colleges and their standard. Being how Taranee was, she would have already thought to which college would she go, what she would study...the next six or seven years of her life where already planned. Although her friends were talking her into staying around Heatherfield for a little longer, they knew that when they had to go to college they would split up.

Irma was in the sports thing. Practicing about a hundred per day. there was no freaking way she wouldn't get a medal every week for the rest of her life. She was also into the get-a-decent-life-thorugh-a-good-college thing, so she was probably looking for asports scholarship. Besides that, she just kept hanging out with the group and all that. She had also became interested in the chemistry thing, like out of nowhere...

Cornelia was perhaps the most interesting change of all. The blond had become extremely aware of her queen-of-the-school status, so she had started analizing it. The girls hadn't known what was going on till she presented her little research. It was a book of sort, talking about what she called "the social piramyd". Although it was a extremely egocentric search (as Irma had said about a thousand times), it was perfect. No detail about how life was in school was missing. Reading it was like getting into school. She had clearly understood how socials worked on the school. After all, where to find out if not in the top of the piramyd...

Finally there w Hay Lin. Washo... well, just kept being Hay Lin. She had barely changed in the two years after Phobos defeat. She was still naive, childish and laughed about everything. She was also into the art stuff, and had done some amazing paintings (mostly dramatized versions of what she called "the battle for Meridyan". AKA the days when they were guardians). She was also looking forward to college, and strangely, she wanted to get out of Heatherfield, know the world outside of the Restaurant.

Things had changed, unnegably. But yet, the five WITCH girls were still a team, a fellowship, a grup of friends sharing everything...

"But now, is time to sleep" thought Will, while drifting into sleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------Next day in Sheffield Institute-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The city of Heatherfield, with it's varied institutes and schools, was a very appealing offer for any student interested into getting to a good college in the East Coast of the US, reason for which students kept coming and leaving like in a rotation basis, be it during the year or at theend during summer or winter or whenever you could imagine. And the Sheffield Institute didn't escape that rule.

Or more specifically, the class where the five young witches where

"Good Morning class. Today a new student will be joining our class. Please welcome miss Emily Sanders" Emily Sanders looked nervous the second you could see her face. She was pretty, perhaps pretty enough to compete with Cornelia, but she looked so worried that it screwed up any beauty she had.

The girl had a pair of crystalline green eyes, like emeralds. An almost flawless pale skin, and a distinctive red-almost-orange looking long, willowy hair. She was wearing jeans, a green t-shirt and a gray jacket.

"Shelooks pretty, just about to throw up, but pretty" Will thought. The girl had definitely attracted every look on the classroom for, as she entered, a freezing wind entered the classroom too, strange thing during summer...

"Please sit over there, next to miss Vandom". The sit next to Will was free, and the class eyes stopped following her, to much relief of the girl, also the color came back to her skin.

"Hi, I'm Will Vandom" The least thing she could do for the girl was to relax her a little, "can't blame her though, it's hard to stand up and be judged by everyone in the first day".

"Emily Sanders" she said, while shaking Will's hand. Now that she had calmed down, the girl looked even prettier.

"So, where are you from?" Will asked

"England", "Aaah, that explains why she is so pale, but she doesn't have english accent"

"You don't sound so English, why?"

"My parents are from... somewhere else" "Umm, freaky answer" Also, the subject of her parents made her look a little sad."Perhaps I shouldn't have asked"

And the talking just kept going till school ended, by that time, Will had started liking the girl. She was shy, yeah, but once she opened up she was really nice. But there was something freaky: when she had asked her where she lived, she something like: "in the drea..." before stopping herself. What could be wrong with her house?

"Emily, you got something to do? 'cause I could introduce you to my friends now". The girl seemed to freak out at the mention of meeting someone else.

"Oh, well, I can't, you see, I have to... help my grandmother unpack some things" And with that, she ran off, dropping the bottle of water she was drinking from.

Although, what amazedWill the most wasn't her incredible shyness or the lame excuse. It was the bottle of water she had dropped.

Somehow, MAGICALLY, the water had become freezing ice.
