IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The five girls and their families were now at the park. Heather, Elizabeth, Amy, Rebbeca, and Trixie were giggling as they ran after each other. James, Gabriel, and Ulrich weren't talking. Their ages were completely different, so they were all playing with either a Gameboy or were listening to music. The parents were now discussing about their daughters.
"Are you sure? My daughter isn't going through anything weird like yours", Will said. "Your daughter isn't affected. Remember?You didn't have any powers in the beggining. Your daughter is going to be the Keeper of the Heart", Taranee explained. Will gasped. "But how could this be happening? I mean...they're so young. Younger than us when we were given the job", Cornelia turned to her daughter who was skipping with Heather. The others nodded.
"We have to tell them. Just like my grandma did", Hay Lin bowed her head. Her grandma died when she was 18. Hay Lin was out shopping for a party that one of her cousins was going to have. When she came back, her grandmother was on a chair...dead of old age. "I understand, Hay Lin", Irma put a friendly hand on her shoulder. Hay Lin smiled.
"So, who's gonna tell them?", Taranee asked. "I say Hay Lin. She should follow what her grandma did", Will smiled. Hay Lin smiled gratefully and walked to the young girls. The girls followed. "Mommy, can you tell me what happened now? I've been waiting for like ever!", Trixie huffed inpatiently as she walked over to her mom. "Girls, I have something important to tell you", Hay Lin sat down on the floor. Hay Lin was still the youngest and still was a child at heart.
Heather, Elizabeth, Amy, and Rebbeca gathered around with Trixie. The WITCH girls sat down next to Hay Lin. Hay Lin looked at Will. Will put her hands where the collar of her shirt was and lifted off her neck the familiar glowing pink necklace. "Oh my gosh, mommy! That's like, super-di-duper pretty!", Heather smiled wide, staring at the crystal Will held out. "This is soon going to be yours, my darling. But it is not just a super-di-duper pretty necklace", Will giggled. Heather tilted her head confused. "How come she gets a necklace?", Elizabeth pouted to Irma. "Sh, just listen, Elizabeth. Trixie's mom is gonna tell you what you get, ok?", Irma smiled warmly. Elizabeth sighed and looked at Hay Lin.
Will handed Hay Lin the Heart of Candracar. She held it in her closed fist. "Girls, I want to tell you a story", Hay Lin said gently. She held back a sob, remembering the same words that her grandma had told them when they were 13. The 5 young girls plomped themselves down indian-style in a line; Heather in the middle. Hay Lin took a deep breathe. "Around this Earth, there is what we call a veil. A veil is like a barrier", Hay Lin started. The younger girls' eyes gleamed with interest. "A long time ago, this veil was fading, creating portals around Heatherfield", Hay Lin smiled softly.
Rebbeca quickly walked over to Cornelia and whispered to her, "Mom, I already know about the veil". Cornelia smiled. "I know that, Rebbeca, but just wait a little bit and you'll find out something that you didn't know", Cornelia patted her head and sent her back to her spot. Rebbeca quickly sat back down and payed attention.
"Uh, Trixie's mom? Where would the portals lead to?", Amy asked, raising her hand desperatley. "It lead to a world calledMerridean", Hay Lin answered. Amy put down her hand. "Merridean was once ruled by an evil prince named Phobos. He wanted to drown the powers of his sister, the princess, in order to have total control over Merridean and Earth", Hay Lin said. The girls gasped. "Who stopped them? The PowerPuff girls? I love Bubbles", Trixie smiled. The other girls gasped with excitment. Hay Lin and her friends giggled. "No, it was not the PowerPuff girls", Hay Lin laughed. "Well, who stopped them?", Rebbeca asked.
"Every time something really bad happens in Merridean, 5 special girls are chosen and are given powers to stop the evil and close the portals; stopping evil from coming to Earth. These people are called Guardians of the Veil", Hay Lin said clearly. She felt the crystal glowing in her hands. "Guardians of the Veil? Well, what does that have to do with the weird stuff happening?", Elizabeth asked. The little girls started to nod and say out the things that were happening to them. "What weird stuff? How come you guys have weird stuff and I don't?", Heather asked. "We're getting to that", Will said.
"And you 5 girls have been chosen to be the Guardians of the Veil", Hay Lin concluded. "No way! So we get super awsome powers?", Elizabeth screamed and jumped up. "Wait, how do you know all of this?", Rebbeca asked, getting up with Elizabeth. "Oh stop asking so many questions. You make things to hard. We get powers! Isn't that the coolest thing ever?" Elizabeth crossed her arms. "I just wanna know!", Rebbeca made a face at her and then looked normally at Hay Lin, waiting for a response. "We know this because we were the Guardians of the Veil before you", Hay Lin smiled proudly. "You guys had powers!", Elizabeth yelled with amazment and shock. The youngergirls jumped up with shock."Correction, we have powers", Irma stood up. "No one's here, go ahead", Will said, looking up at Irma. Irma smirked and nodded.
"Water!", Irma said and the sprinklers immediatley turned on and the water almost sprayed them. "Whoa!", the little girls gasped and clapped their hands. "Will, you realize that once we hand the Heart of Candracar to them, our powers will completely disappear, right?", Taranee whispered. Will bowed her head. Taranee was right, no more Guardians of the Veil. Heather and the girls were young, younger than they were when they were chosen to become guardians. If they couldn't really handle their powers at first, how will they manage? But the Heart chose them for a reason, so they had to do what it told them to. "I know, Taranee, but we have no choice. The Heart chose them, and we have to help in the process", Will whispered finally. Taranee nodded slowly and then looked at the little girls jumping and screaming their little heads off.
"So we get powers, too? What powers do we get?", Rebbeca smiled widely at Hay Lin. Hay Lin giggled. "You, Rebbeca Dove, are given the power of Earth", Hay Lin patted her golden head. Rebbeca smiled wider and closed her eyes in joy. Rebbeca quickly ran next to a tree and hugged it...well, as much as her arms could go around the tree. "I love you, Mr. Tree!", Rebbeca smiled. Her hands shinned green and the two, big, tree branches bent down and wrapped around her, hugging her back. "Aw, that's so cute", Taranee cooed. "That's my girl, tree hugger", Cornelia grinned. "Since when were you a tree hugger? Haha! Just kiddin', Corny. You were always Earth Girl", Irma joked. Cornelia smirked. Rebbeca soon came back, her eyes shinning with a new shade of green...her power.
"What do I get? What do I get?", Trixie jumped up and down in front of her mom. "Trixie Lyndon, you get the power of the air", Hay Lin smiled. Trixie giggled excitedly. She saw the yellow butterfly from a distance. "Air, bring me the cutie pie butterfly (hey that rhymes, haha)", Trixie extended both her hands. They shined white and the air hit her face. The air carried the butterfly's wings next to Trixie, landing on her nose. "Yay!", Trixie giggled as the butterfly flew up into the sky.
"You, Amy Ashcroft, control fire", Hay Lin explained. "Does that make me evil?", Amy asked innocently. Taranee laughed silently. She was just the same way, afraid of her powers and afraid they would judge her by getting fire. "No it does not make you evil, you're actually one of the strongest of the Guardians", Hay Lin giggled. "Oh, ok!", Amy smiled wide, showing her teeth.
Hay Lin turned to Elizabeth, who was laughing at nothing. "And you, Elizabeth Tubbs, are now the Water Goddess like your mom", Hay Lin laughed. "Sweet! Now I can finally do this!", Elizabeth made water fall from the sky, but there were no rain clouds. "Muahahaha! So now when any of those ugly guys think on picking on me, I'll make it rain on them", Elizabeth made it stop raining and grinned to herself. "Now, girls, it's very important that you don't tell anyone. You can't do that to the boys, Elizabeth. You cannot show anyone your powers", Hay Lin explained. "Ok, I guess", Rebbeca replied. She was already used to keeping big secrets. "Ok, we won't tell anyone", Trixie smiled.
"Wait...so I don't get a power?", Heather said softly, embarrased. "You get the most important role of all, you are the leader of the Guardians. You unite the Guardians", Hay Lin said, showing Heather the necklace. "Me...a leader?", Heather asked with disbelief. Will walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "I know you don't understand how you could be a leader of a big group, but trust me. I was leader of the Guardians, too. The Heart of Candracar chose me to be leader, and it was right. If it chose you, then you must be as much as a wonderful leader as I was", Will smiled. Heather smiled wide, showing her braced teeth.
"Will, I don't know about this", Taranee started. "What's wrong, Taranee?", Will asked. Taranee had a worried look on her face, the most common face she used. "Number one, I'm worried. Whatever caused the Heart of Candracar to choose new Guardians must be huge in order for it to have chosen them, 10 and 11 year olds. I don't want my little girl to get hurt. And number two...I don't want to let go of my powers; its become my best friend", Taranee bowed her head. Will gave Taranee a sad smile.
It's hard to let something go once you've had many years with it. The girls used their powers for almost everything, it binded them together. Once they hand the Heart of Candracar to Heather, their powers will be gone. What will bind them? What would happen if the girls stop meeting with each other? Their friendship would be broken.
"Taranee, it's hard for all of us. I don't want to let go of my powers either, but the Heart of Candracar chose our girls", Cornelia came in, Irma and Hay Lin behind Cornelia. "What's gonna happen?", Taranee asked silently. "We'll just have to find out", Will said. Hay Lin gave the Heart to Will. "Wait, look Will", Irma said, pointing to the Heart of Candracar. It was glowing, but it looked like there was a hazy image of something in the Heart.
The girls squinted their eyes in order to see the image better. "I think it means that we have to go to Merridean, look, right there", Cornelia pointed to 5 girls flying towards the castle in the Heart. "Ok, we have one last mission to do before we can completely loose our powers", Will closed her fist.
"Mommy, when do I get the Heart of Candracar?", Heather asked. The little girls came in the middle of the circle. "We have one mission to do before we can give it to you", Will explained. "Are you leaving now?", Rebbeca asked. "We have to, right Will?", Cornelia looked at Will. Will nodded. "Oh, this is gonna be so cool transforming again!", Irma smiled. "Wait, before we can do anything, we have to tell the guys to take care of the kids", Hay Lin said and started to walk towards Eric, who was chatting with the other guys on the bench. The girls followed Hay Lin.
"No! We wanna go with you!", Trixie pulled on her mom's hand. "Please, oh, please!", Amy tugged on her mom's shirt. Hay Lin and Taranee looked back to Will. Will thought for a moment. "Mabye we should take them, to prepare them, you know?", Will smiled. "Yay!", the young girls rejoiced. "Well, I still have to tell Caleb to take Gabriel home. Also you guys", Cornelia said and started to walk towards Caleb.
"Caleb, we're gonna go to Merridean and we're taking the girls. I need you to take care of Gabriel", Cornelia said, taking Rebbeca's hand. "What? Why are you going to Merridean?", Matt stood up suddenly. "Aw, don't worry about it, Matt. Merridean is a peaceful place now; nothing bad can happen to the girls", Caleb shrugged with a smart grin on his face. Cornelia smiled. "Sure you can go, I'll go take Gabriel for the chocolate ice cream he likes so much here down the corner", Caleb stood up and kissed her cheek. "I'll be back in a while, I'll see you guys at home", Cornelia smiled widely and walked with Rebbeca towards the girls, who already told their husbands to take care of the other kids...well, only if they didn't have only child's like Will and Irma. "Bye, Daddy!", Rebbeca waved. Caleb laughed and waved back.
"Ok, we're ready. Let's go to Merridean and visit Elyon", Will said as she held out the Heart of Candracar in her hand once again. Hay Lin felt the breeze hit her harder now, for some reason. She looked up in the sky and smiled. Her grandma's face had suddenly appeared hazily in the sky, smiling at her. "You did well, my little Hay Lin", the breeze talked to her. Hay Lin closed her eyes as a tear fell from her eye, "Thank you, grama".
