Third Person P.O.V
…
She was mad, unbelievably mad. Pissed off doesn't even begin to describe it. The fire inside her was burning, and she knew it. Her fire was powerful, maybe her most powerful element, besides nature itself. Her father was from the Fireons, so she just assumed that it would have been genetic.
But she needed to get out te school before she set anything on fire, and she didn't trust herself around people, especially the hosts. She didn't want to hurt anyone, besides Hikaru. But even then, something wanted to stop her from doing that.
The feeling was weak, sure, but it was still there. A small feeling that she could so easily ignore, but just as before, it was still there.
She stormed out of the gates and headed straight home, knowing that full well if she 'let it go' there was no stopping what would happen next. You all saw what happened last time, she can't control herself. And what scary is that she know it too. It's something that scares her too.
It'd had been happening for a while now, and in some cases she didn't even register that it was happening. It was eve happening right now and she couldn't tell.
Every few steps, a new crack would form in the pavement. Just by merely walking on it, she was able to cause a minor bit of destruction. It was her magic spilling out of control, cracking like her wall she keeps her magic inside. The same wall that she tried to keep her rage in, key word being tried.
That wasn't the only example, there were plenty of others. Accidentally freezing water in cups or taps, before it would quickly melt away when her fire powers took over. Others were just her growing small plants and the like outside I gardens.
Her magic was overflowing because she didn't use it enough, it was just using itself. Georgia was trying, and key word again trying, to live a normal life, trying to be normal without magic so she didn't feel the weight of another realm on her shoulders.
But that began to come at a price, and she didn't know. At the rate she was going, she would be found out, then it would be game over. She'd draw attention to herself, and if worse comes to worse, Haruhi.
It didn't take the brown haired girl long to reach her home, rushing in through the back gate and into the back yard, immediately greeted by Winter.
Winter noticed Georgia's gritted teeth and clenched fists, and a sense of panic began to arise in her, "Not again."
She stormed through the garden, heading straight for the heart, before stopping to look back at Winter, "HE COULDN'T JUST KEEP HIS STUPID NOSE OUT OF MY OWN BUSINESS!" She slammed a flamed fist into the tree, luckily it didn't catch alight, but rather, left a spiral shaped singe mark in its place.
Winter looked at her, slightly annoyed, "Just ignore him-
"Don't tell me to ignore him! He found out about Azalea! And then he had the nerve to call me a cold, heartless bitch! He doesn't know what I've been through!"
"True, but girl, you've gotta chill out." Winter said hovering in front of her, but regretted her choice of words, noticeing the ice crawling from her hands, to up along her arms. "Not quite what I meant."
Georgia slammed her left hand into that same tree, shattering the small crystalline ice shards, leaving a free hand, but not a completely clear one. Those shards cut her, the exat sae way it would as if it were glass, so she just let the flames re-engulf her arm once more, melting the rest.
"Well that was stupid." Winter perches on her shoulder, as the pissed off girl once again continues on, deeper into the forest.
The small bird had an idea of why Hikaru pissed her off so much. He confused her. Something Georgia prided herself on was figuring out people and their intentions. That and the fact that he stole her necklace and sold it on the market to someone else. But remember how he did it?
…
"Georgia!" A voice echo's down the hallway, grabbing my attention. I have to walk a few steps backwards as I had just rounded a corner, and I'm met with rather strange sight. Actually, I'm kinda getting used to the sight of Hikaru approaching on his own, but still it does raise a hell of a lot of question. From my experience the word twin means two, and normally where one goes the other follows.
"Umm, hey." I say with slight suspicion in my voice, though he doesn't really seem to notice. "What's up?" I ask.
He pauses for a second, and I can hear a slight pant in his voice. Did he run down the hall to meet me? I mean that's pretty strange. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you…" He says and his usual mischievous glint returns to his eye.
"What…" I tried to ask him what he was on about by in a flash his hands were hooked around the back of my neck, and then he pushes me against the wall, leaving me with no escape. "Hikaru, what are you doing?" I demand with a shaky voice. What the bloody hell does he think he's doing? And that look in his eye, I didn't even know what to distinguish it as, but whatever the hell it was...it scared me.
"I'm telling you that I...i...There's something about you, something that I can't get out of my mind. You're such an interesting toy, to keep us entertained." He says moving his head closer to my own, and out of instinct I move backwards, and I kinda wish that I could disappear into wall. If only my magic was that good. "To keep me entertained…" and with that said he moves closer…
…
From that day, Winter had noticed a change in her. That one moment sparked something in Georgia, and that's why she was so confused. She'd never been shown any 'romantic' affection from another boy. Blayze wanted her for her power, not for her position as Princess, so that wasn't a Frozen re-enactment. Whereas Hikaru, Hikaru was more interesting. Winter had never met the kid, so she couldn't tell if the feeling was mutual. But by the way he called her 'toy' it made her think otherwise.
She was entertainment to him, and if things go the way they usually do, that torment he have her will turn into his own affection. Well, that was her guess anyway.
"Alright, where are we going?" The red bird fluttered off her shoulder and hovered in the air in front of her, knowing full well she was going to transform.
She shrugged, and put her hand to her power symbol, "Wherever I feel like." And she transformed in an array of lights and colours, showing her fairy form.
(A/N: I did a re-design of Georgia's fairy from, so I'm gonna describe it to you. I'll eventually put it on Deviantart, but for now you'll have to use your imagination. Or if you're too lazy to read a descriptive paragraph you're welcome to just skip it.)
Her hair was longer and lighter than her regular hair, slightly wavy too, with tinges of pink too dyed into the ends. Two little knobs of hair on top of her head, with the one on the left having a pink ribbon, and the other had the small butterfly clip attached to it, the very same that Lian gave her, back when she did her first heroic deed. Looking down, she had she had a pink short sleeved shirt that had swils just one the outside, with a collar that site up around her neck, with a flower keeping it together. Across her breasts, a strip of green, leaving the rest of her chest bare. Acting like a curtain, there was pink material draping down, leaving an open stomach, which sat above a green frilled skirt. The skirt had three frills, each getting lighter as it went down. Then she had green socks with swirling vine patterns in them, which were almost covered by pink boots, with white strips and heels on them.
"Ready to go?" Georgia asked, changed her anger into cockiness. Although, that just how she acted when she was Artemis. She was confident in presentation, but in her actions, she was so cautious, trying ot make sure no one was hurt or killed…besides the bad guys of course.
Winter knew there was going to be trouble so she knew she should go. "Let's go."
…
They flew above the city noticing nothing. There was hardly any crime now day since the bad guys did know that Artemis was out there, they cut back…or so it appeared.
The two girls were perched up on the one of the highrise buildings watching the almost empty streets, which was usualy because it was the middle of the day when everyone was at school…or was meant to be in Georgia's case.
"Well, there's a couple of waggers." The bird pointed out to a pair of middle school children walking below them. One was a small blonde girl, maybe around 13 or so, with her short bob cut reaching her shoulders. She looked up to the boy, grabbing his hand with a big, flirty smile. The boy nervously ran a hand through his black hair, as they turned the corner into the space between two buildings.
"Oh my god…going to make out in an alley way? They're like 12!" She exclaims with the roll of her eyes at them, looking away from the sight.
Artemis was more curious however, "It doesn't seem right."
Winter looked at her surprised, "They're kids, let them do what they want."
"Not if they're getting ambushed in an alley." Artemis pointed out grabbing her attention.
"Seriously?" She looked surprised, "Crap, it's serious."
The boy was being held against his will by a fairly big guy, muscles and everything, whilst another two blocked his view of the girl. "Hitomi!" He shouted, but the girl stood back, smiling.
"Kosuke!" she shouted dramatically, holding back a laugh.
Artemis was quick to notice a quick high five between one of the older ladies there and the girl. "I knew it." She muttered, launching herslef off the edge and landing in the middle of the fight.
"Alright, break it up!" She shouted, stamping a foot into the pavement, which sealed off their only exit back out into the open streets. "Or would you prefer it if I break you?"
Winter kept back, watching the scene unfold. Georgia needed to learn things for herself, because she won't always have someone else fighting with her.
Everyone looked to her shocked. There were three men and two women, all looking at the fairy-superhero in front of them, and they were slightly scared, knowing full well what's going to happen next.
One lady steps forward, "This is our business, so f*ck off!"
Georgia only arches an eyebrow at her statement, "Do you that ever goes well for the bad guy?" And with that vines appear out of the ground, grabbing hold of her waist and slamming her into the brick wall. "Anyone else wanna same something stupid and cheesy?" She remarks, but the two other guys just run at her, knives drawn. "I guess not."
Georgia flew upwards, landing herself on a dumpster behind her. It was a vantage point, an dshe found something she was looking for. A pipe, running along a wall, and she was grateful for it. She pulled it from the wall, and water burst out of it, spraying those two dudes.
Then she froze it, encasing most of their body in ice, like human statues. Besides their head of course. Sure she was in a bad mood, but she didn't want to kill anyone, just kinda…teach them a lesson.
The boy was let go, and scampered over to the girl, who looked horrified, so he tended to her to make sure she was ok.
That just leaves one man and one woman. Both stood confidently, with a smirks on their faces and the woman ran at Georgia, with a long stick of metal in her hand. The fairy jumped off it the dumpster, and floated in mid-air, smirking down at her.
"Not gonna happen." Georgia said, but her face changed when she saw the man standing back pointing a gun at her. He fired as soon as she look, so she dropped to the ground, narrowly avoiding a nasty injury, only managing to get a small nick on her shoulder.
A hiss escaped her lips as she found another pain on her left arm. The woman hand hit her with the piece of metal, probably leaving a nasty bruise. Georgia back off, holding onto her arm,
"How'd you like that?" The woman smirked winding up for another swing at her, "Want another one to match?"
Using her right arm, she out up a shield, defending herself from the bullets being fired at her, and in her bruised left, she caught the metal. It was cold in her hand, but it didn't stay that way for long. The woman eyes widened in fear as the fairy's hand erupted into flames, melting the rod into a pile of goop on the pavement.
Stuned the woman backed away, but Georgia wasn't done there. A strong wind came from her hand, lifting the grown woman off the ground, before she was launched across the alley way straight into the man.
As good measure, she wrapped them in vines in order to make sure they didn't escape.
…
Georgia P.O.V
…
My arm was hurting like a female dog after that chick took a good swing at me. There is defiantly going to be a god bruise there in the morning, not to mention that there was a small cut on the top of my soulder from that bullet, which surprisingly hurts less than what the metal bar did.
"Now you." I turn to the girl who looks utterly terrified, and she has a right to be. She's going to jail for attempted kidnapping. As soon as those words leave my mouth,a vine errupts out of the ground, grabbing the young teen by the waist and drags her over to me. "I hope you learn you lesson in jail."
But that boy steps in my way, trying to block me from her view. "Leave her alone! She didn't do anything!"
"Yeah! I didn't do anything!" She shouts, though that grin on her face finds it amusing that the boy is trying to protect her, even though he's still oblivious to what happened.
"Well that bull crap if I ever heard it," I mutter, "Step aside boy."
"No! I won't! I don't know what the hell you're doing, but it isn't right. Hitomi is a victom and you're trying to send her to jail for no reason!" He tries to defend.
I sigh at him, "Listen kid, take it from me. This chick isn't as innocent as you think she is. She lead you into that trap. She wasn't even being kidnapped herself. You're welcome to go and watch camera footage if you don't believe me." I tell him, putting the girl down on the ground, tied in vines, before stamping on the ground to pull down that stone wall I created earlier, revealing a tonne of police officers.
"Freeze!" They all shout pointing their guns at me, and I raise my eyebrow at them. Some of the other officers then went past me, grabbing all of the others I had knocked out, putting them in hand cuffs.
"Um? I just did you job for you. I don't need to freeze." She remarks, "Take them away officers on account of attempted kidnapping." I say as they begin to load up the criminals.
So I take off. Flying up into the sky and back over the city. "what happened to you? Why weren't you down there with me?"
"I wanted you to fight on your own. And girl, I must say that I'm impressed. You handled the situation pretty damn well." She complemented as we continued to fly.
"Lemme guess." I say looking over to her with a smile, "To help me ready myself for when Blayze comes cause I'll be fighting on my own?"
A small chuckle escaped out of her birdy beak, "Yep."
…
Back on Asteria, Third Person.
…
In the dead of the night, whilst most were sleeping, someone was still awake. He snuck from hallway to hallway, hiding, to make sure he wasn't seen by roaming guards, or worse, the fire 'king' himself.
He knew that the fire 'king' had issues sleeping, as he would often be found awake practicing his magic to make himself more powerful, or to make himself feel powerful.
It was dark in the corridors, with the only light being at the corner of each hallway. A hood covered his head, just a brown cloak, which reached down to just above his ankles, flowing behind him as he rushed through the hallways, heading straight for his destination.
The Library, or more importantly, the person in the library.
He rounded the corner, before having to pull back, pressing himself against the wall. The shadows hid him from the guard passing down the hallway, who just seemed to ignore his surroundings, only focused on the area ahead of him.
A sigh escaped his lips as he followed the red carpet down the hallway, stopping at the vine decorated wooden doors. Pale fingers silently wrapped themselves around the cold, gold handle, silently pushing it open.
The warmth of the library hit his skin, and he smirked, happy with the sudden change in temperature. But what caught his attention most of all, was sleeping girl on the table, covering books and scrap pieces of paper, with one piece still in her hands.
"Che'." He whispered, touching the sleeping girl's shoulder in order to wake her up, trying to be gentle, but there was no time for gentle. "Come on, I need you up. Now!" He whisper/shouts.
Immediately, her purple eyes sprung to life with a panic, causing her to leap to her feet with balled fists, glowing purple ready to strike. "Who are you and what do you want?!" She demanded, with a sleepy yet powerful voice.
"Chill," He says with a deep voice, "It's just me." The hood was pulled back to reveal a messy mop of blonde hair, some slightly tied back in a ponytail.
"Liam?" She lowered her fists, "What in the name of the moon are you doing here?" She yelled in surprise, yawning after a hard day's work, trying to find anything she could out about stopping Chronos once he had been unleashed, and as far as Liam knew, there wasn't much.
"I'm getting you out."
She arched her eyebrows questionably, "You're getting me out?"
"That's what I said you numpty. Now you gotta hall ass and get to the gardens. The Phantoms are waiting out there for you to take you back to their base. Ghost is there too." He pointed out shoving a bag in her direction, which she took curiously.
"You mean he's-?"
"Yep. He's there. But not for long, they're on a time frame, which means you gotta move. Take your research with you, and go." He says pointing to the table.
The back haired girl nodded, grabbing the books she needed, and any parchments or note books she made, leaving nothing for them to follow. Nothing for them to research with. "That should be everything." She said, slinging it over her shoulder, a determined and triumphant smirk on her face. She knew they were winning. They both did.
"Let's go."
The two snuck down the hallways, avoiding guard after guard. Liam began to walk around one of the corners, but the darkness told Che' that someone was lurking down in the hallway. She grabbed the taller blonde's wrist, pulling his against the wall, and using the shadows to her advantage, she covered the two, making them look like they weren't even there.
Another guard walked past, glancing slightly at over his shoulder, staring at the place that those two were. He narrowed his eyes, but shrugged it off, continuing on his route.
"Thank the moon they aren't very good at their job." Che' muttered, breaking her small spell, before they continued down the hallway.
"Cool trick though." Liam complimented as they reached the stairs, sprinting down them as fast as possible, seeing no signs of any activity, besides the three guards who sit waiting at the front door.
The two stopped behind separate pillars, waiting for the set of three guards to walk away. Two did, beginning to walk about the corridors next to the door, but one stayed, guarding the door.
How easy would it be to get out of the front door anyway? It's the main entrance in and out, and because it was daylight, Liam was just able to walk in. But he really didn't think about walking back out again. He could easily take out the guard, but, he would be found. So that probably wasn't an option.
Che' created a black ball of magic in her hand and she let it fly before Liam could stop her. The panic on his face as he realises she's on the attack, but kept his mouth shut as the orb of black entered the guards mind, and he didn't seem phased about it.
Liam was rather confused, watching the man stand still with no signs of being affected, but narrowed his eyes when darkness seemed to surround his head, like a black, menacing cloud, but he showed no signs of pain.
The black haired girl nodded her head towards the door, covering the two in shadows as they snuck out of the door.
Thinking it over, Che' thought it was incredibly stupid sneaking through one of the main doors, but it was the fastest way to the palace gardens, so it made slight logical sense there. But then again, they were sneaking out through one of the most guarded entrances in the castle. But it was working though. So she couldn't complain.
Liam lead her through the garden, using the hedges as cover, they snuck past the guards. Fireon's marched around the gardens, holding fire in their hands as a light source, rather than the old, generic torch. The palace likes to keep things…traditional. Cities and what not tend to be more modern, yet the palaces in each of the different provinces are all traditional. It's confusing, but just roll with it.
Those purple eyes of Che's began to glow as she scanned through the darkness, looking for both Fireon guards who don't have their fire burning and the Rebels hiding only in the bottom corner of the guards.
2…3….4… she counted the Phantoms subconciously, making sure that was only them there. "Found them." She whispered and pointed in their direction.
"Let's go." He said, guiding her once again through the gardens, until they reached the three memebers of the Phantom, and their leader, Ghost.
Ghost was dressed in all black, with a white mask, leaving his sparkling blue eyes visible, under his black hood. The others were dressed similarly, except having their blue masks over their eyes, quite the similar to their leader.
Che' wanted to hug Ghost, she hadn't seen him for a long time, but now was not the time nor place.
Liam nodded to Ghost, who nodded back, both talking with their barely visible eyes, but they knew what the other was thinking. They were getting ready to run, and getting ready to 'ghost' through the wall and fly out of there.
"Goodbye, and good luck." Liam said to the witch of the night, who smiled sadly giving him a hug.
"Looks like your luck ran out." a cool and calm voice rang out across the silent garden. Everyone jumped in surprise as another blonde exited the bushes, with a amused smirk apon his lips.
Everyone flinched, preparing for a fight, but he just stood there calmly. "Lachlan…" Che' whispered, hands glowing purple.
His shocking blue eyes lighened slightly, "That's my name, don't wear it out."
"You followed us." Liam said, rather annoyed.
Lachy raised a hand, allowing a spark of electricity to flow around it, illuminating his face. "It wasn't hard. You were sneaking around in a big cloak. And you went out the front entrance. So it was pretty obvious."
The Phantoms moved backwards, noticing something behind Lachy, whilst Ghost took a hold of Che's wrist, signaling that they were going to leave. "Well, no harm in trying." Liam shrugged it off, preparing for a fight, when fire light up behind the boy with lightning.
Rows of guards were there, all with hands alight, ready for a fight.
Che' rose her fists, breaking free of Ghost's grip, glowing purple for a fight, but the rebel leader once again took hold, leaning in to whispering. "Don't."
She looked at him bewildered, but saw Liam smirk over his shoulder at Ghost, an all knowing one.
"Liam…" Che' looked to her friend, who stood in front of everyone, almost protectively. He was protecting them, a self-sacrifice.
He knew…
That thought ran through her head, as she looked between both the boys.
They both did…they both knew Liam wasn't coming….
"No…" She barely whispered having the realisation. "You can't…"
"Like it said, I'm getting you out. I said jack-shit about me." He smirks turning back to the Fireon army and their once friend. "Now get your asses out of here!"
She tried fighting against Ghost's restraint as he pulled her towards the wall. "We can help fight! We're his friend! We can help!" She tried to break free, but nothing.
Che' felt her legs disappear, turning into a mist, before she took off into the air, with James by her side, not letting go of her hand. Silent tears fell from her eyes as she watched Liam begin to fight.
…
Liam, watched as some of his best friends flew out of the palace, a small smirk plastered on his face. They getting away with Che's research, and now he gets to kick the shit out of the guy who has been on his nerves for the past week.
"You really think you're winning, don't you?" Lachy smirks as he points to the sky, "Fire!" He shouts and his Fireon army aims their fire to the sky.
But Liam was not going to have that. "No you f*cking don't!" He stamped his foot into the ground, raising the earth around hi, thrusting him into the air on an earth pedestal, before shooting rocks at those fireballs, keeping the flying quintet safe.
A brown glow appeared around his fists and he shot it into the ground, at Lachy's feet. He raised both arms and they were all concealed in a cave of rock. Liam smirked again, happy with his easy work…but you all know what happens in an easy fight.
But Liam, well, he didn't see it coming. He was overly cocky, retracting his pedestal into flat ground, just as an explosion full of fire and electricity sent rocks flying shooting across the garden.
"Seriously dude?" Lachy steps forward, electricity running around his hands and spiralling up his arms. He could control the weather, as he did have the powers of the day - including day time storms.
That's how Che' and Lachy had similar powers, and similar mind sets. Both good are mind games, and thinking things through, they were basically the same power, just Che's powers dealt more with illusions, whereas lachy dealt with reality.
"Remember? I have lightning." He reminded Liam by extending his hand out the, allowing the lightning to flow from his fingertips, straight at the Earth Wizard.
With the flick of his wrist, a rock wall protected Liam from the incoming attack. "Is that all you've got?" Liam taunts pulling down the wall, but eyes widen as close to ten fire balls get flung is way. He barely put another wall up in time to block the flames.
He had an idea, but he needed to work quick. The wall came down quickly, and Liam had rocks floating in mid-air before thrusting his hands out, sending them right into the Fireon's stomachs.
You could see that they weren't expecting it, with the shock running through their eyes. They tried their best to hide it, but Liam saw the fear and shock in their eyes as they were pushed back, unable to get up.
Liam smirked to himself once again, before covering each Fireon in Earth, leaving their head free to breath. He was pissed sure, but would he go onto the verge of killing? Probably. But for Georgia's sake, he wouldn't kill. He knew how pissed off Georgia can get, but her morals told her not to kill, just punch in the face or knock them unconscious…that's just what she did.
"Arrrrghh!" A searing pain spead across Liam back, and is muscles began to violently twitch. He lost all control. Of his movements, his thoughts disappeared, and he just felt pain.
"It's shocking that you didn't see that coming." Lachy's voice entered Liam's ears with a taunting tone.
The blonde on the ground, still shaking violently, blankly watched as a pair of dark blue boots entered his vision. "That was easier than I expected." He chuckled, before extending his arm backwards, with electricity running out of his fingers towards the unconscious guards. The earth around the shattered as the touch of lightning, before a small part entered those guards, shocking them awake.
"Get up and take him to the dungeon." Lachlan indicates to the almost brain dead blonde, collapsed on the floor. "And you don't have to be gentle."
Two Fireon soldiers picked up the teenager, and began to drag him towards the castle.
One of the others approached Lachy however, slightly concerned, "Sir? What about the witch? She escaped with her research."
Lachy played with the lightning in his hand, watching it run all over his palm. "Chill bruh. I've got a plan to spice things up. Plus, another plan that is already put into action. So I'm very keep to see if it works." He smirked letting the electricity fly into the ground, exploding the jagged pieces of rock Liam left lying around.
He maybe be a good fighter, but he doesn't notice his surroundings. And Lachy knew that for a fact, so it was easy to sneak up on him. Then down he went. Easy.
He looked back again to Liam's limp body, smirking to himself.
"This is going to be fun."
