Power from Within
Chapter2
Disclaimer: I do not own anything W.I.T.C.H. related in any shape or form.
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.
Cornelia yawned deeply, rubbing her eyes in a vain attempt to keep her eyes open. She tried to focus on the board and whatever the teacher was trying to teach, but her vision just got blurry. For some reason, Cornelia couldn't seem to remember exactly why she barely got a wink of sleep last night. As hard as she tried, she couldn't recall any of last night's dreams or thoughts. Yawning loudly once again, she avoided her friends questioning looks and stared down at her notebook. Before she knew it, the words got blurry and she felt herself drifting to sleep.
"Where am I?" Cornelia heard herself say loudly. She looked down at her hands. Was she really her? What kind of dream was this? "Say good-bye…" a voice echoed through the darkness. She swiveled, trying to find the source of the voice. "Who..?"
"Good-bye…."
Cornelia's eyes fluttered open and she lifted her head up from its position on top of her notebook. She disgustingly wiped a bit of drool at the side of her lips and looked around to see that class was just ending and all the students were gathering their things. She followed suit. The minute Cornelia stepped outside of the classroom, she felt a sharp pain in her side. Looking towards the source of the pain, she came face to face with Hay-Lin. "Ow, Hay-Lin. That actually hurt."
"Oops. Sorry Cornelia." Hay-Lin said apologetically. She clutched her books tighter to her chest. "But you were dozing off in class. What's wrong?"
Cornelia blinked wordlessly. Why exactly was she falling asleep everywhere? She couldn't seem to remember. "I don't know. I guess I didn't get enough sleep last night." She shrugged. "It's no big deal." She then spotted Caleb on the other end of the hall. "Let's go." She said, waving at Caleb and motioning for Hay-Lin to hurry. Hay-Lin shrugged off her worries and sprinted after Cornelia.

"I don't think I can handle this anymore." complained Cornelia, balancing on a ladder with a long streamer. She stepped down from the ladder and threw the streamers to the ground in anger. "Will, we NEED to do this with our powers."
After much resistance, Will finally agreed and brought out the Heart of Kandrakar. But just as she was about to say something, Cornelia cleared her throat loudly. "Um… You guys continue. I'll be, uh, right back." With that said, she basically ran out of the gym without so much as a second glance.
Cornelia leaned against the long row of lockers and sighed deeply. "Why did I run out like that?" she asked herself aloud. She didn't know why, but for some reason, she suddenly feared turning into a guardian and using her powers. She shook her head roughly. "That's absurd." She chastised herself. Recollecting herself, she headed for the door out. She knew the girls could take care of the rest of the decorations. Why not head home and get an early start on getting ready?
"Today's going to be great." Cornelia smiled and walked out the door, a long breeze of fresh air trailing in where she left.
