Power from Within

Summary: What'll happen when a certain Earth guardian loses her powers? I'm going to have this take place after the episode G is for Garbage. & Of course, my main focus will be Cornelia and Caleb.

"Where am I?" a dazed earth guardian asked, her small voice echoing through the empty darkness. All of a sudden, the empty darkness shifted to a big forest.

"Cornelia! Help!"

Gasping, she swiveled towards the sound of the voice. Caleb was hanging high above her wrapped by long vines. She lifted her hands to control the green vines, but nothing happened.

"Cornelia!" Caleb yelled. She vainly tried to move the vines away from Caleb to no prevail. Giving up on that idea, she tried to fly over to him, but her wings wouldn't move. Tears gathered at her eyes in frustration. No matter what she did, Caleb was sinking into the vines quickly, until he finally disappeared into them.

Cornelia opened her mouth to yell, but no sound came out. She looked down at her body. It was no longer her guardian form, it was normal. She panicked; feeling like the darkness was closing in on her.

She shut her eyes tightly and when she finally opened them again, she saw Caleb's lifeless body at her feet. Her eyes widened and she dropped to her knees. Silent tears flowed out of her eyes.

The last thing she heard was the evil laughing of a woman…

"NO!"

Cornelia gasped for air, shooting up. She cried hot tears, relieved to be out of her dream. She wiped her tears and looked at her clock. It was only five in the morning. She felt her heart beat start to go back to normal pace.

She shut her eyes tightly. It was like a repeat of the time the guardians were all attacked in their dreams, but this time… She was helpless and no matter what she did, nothing worked.

Unable to bear it any longer, she pulled her blanket off of her sweaty body and trudged out of bed. She walked towards her window and pulled the shades, watching the sun slowly make its way up.

Sighing, she decided to get ready for her day; hours earlier than usual.

((AN/ Alrighty, sorry for the short-ness, but I think it's the way with me and all my stories. I usually make the beginning short to see if it attracts people enough to continue it. Well let me know!
