Another Generation
Disclaimer-Don't own WITCH. Do own whoever u don't know. I also don't own the tuborkle (that'll make a lot more since when you read the story, and if you've seen TT Homecoming, Part 1, that'll help)
Moongirl183-Almost. Torie is Cornelias' daughter, but the others have no relation to the former guardians. Good try though.
BlazeTotality-If you don't like it, don't read it. Where up to 16 here, but things change all the time right? For all we know, Luba comes back in the end. So don't nitpick, cuz it's just a waste of time!
Chapter 8-A Weird Experience
Allies' POV
"Uh huh", Sam said boredly, "Yea, yea, friends…shoulda told…"
Allie had gone to Sams' after school, and Sam had been on the phone most of the time.
"Shanya's mad…Catie's mad…Julia, mad…Jen, mad…Ana…look, Corinne, I would love to sit here and listen to you raddle off the names of everyone over there who is mad at me, but I got stuff to do. I never should have told you my new number; stupidity rears its ugly head. Bye Corrine", she hung up and glared at the phone for a second.
"Trouble on the old home front Sam?" Allie asked curiously.
"No", Sam sighed, "At least Corinne is talking to me, the others, well…" she broke off with a smile, "So, whatta you want for a-"
Ring Ring
"Snack", Sam finished angrily, grabbing the phone, "Hello? Oh, hi Shayna. Yea, friends…shoulda told… uh huh…yea…"
Allie laughed and grabbed a cookie from the plate Sam had put out.
"Look Shayna, I'm tryin' to do some things, I'm puttin you on speaker…oh really? To bad, go do your homework, bye", she hung up and glared at the phone some more, "Done?"
It stayed silent. She sighed with relief, "So…"
Ring Ring
Come on!" Sam grabbed her cell phone out of her pocket, and hit send, "You got me…oh, hi Allison…"
Allie sighed, and wandered out of the kitchen, interested to check out the rest of the apartment. She turned into the first room she found. She knew eight away it had to be Sams'. A pink comforter was spread across the bed, and boxes littered the floor, a few pictures were scattered here and there as well. She picked up one of them. There were eight girls in the photo, each wearing a dress, standing in front of a school. Their arms were around each others shoulders, and they all looked happy, their eyes were glowing with joy.
"Seventh grade dance", Sam said from behind her.
"What?" Allie asked, confused.
"The seventh grade dance at my old middle school last year Sam said, looking at the photo, "Those are my old friends…"
She broke off with a thoughtful sigh.
Ring ring
"Let it ring", Sam said, "I don't care"
"Seriously", Allie was saying later on, "She was wicked depressed…"
"Yea?" Kapree said, "Well, it must be hard, dealing with the moving and all. Ask Haley though, she'd know"
"Yea", Allie sighed, "Gotta go Kapree, see ya later"
"Bu-bye", Kapree chirped as Allie hung up. Huh, Allie thought, Kapree's right, none of us know what it feels like to move, I've lived here my whole life…
"What can only be described as a giant lizard-"
"This isn't my station", Allie muttered, "Grabbing her stereo remote, "Wait-giant lizard?"
She cranked the volume and listened to the report. From the sound of, some wackos claimed they'd seen a monster down at Heatherfield Park. The reporter waved it off as a bunch of rumors, but Allie definitely had a different view on it. She grabbed the phone and dialed Kaprees' number
"Hello?" her brother picked up.
"Justin, it's Allie, put Kapree on", Allie said hurriedly.
"Sorry, she just left", Justin said in a bored voice.
"What! Left?" Allie asked, "Well, where'd she go?"
"Dunno", Justin said, "She didn't say"
"Oooohhhh", Allie groaned, "Thanks Justin, bye"
She hung up, then picked the phone up again and dialed Tories' number.
"Hello?" Tories' mom picked up.
"Hi Mrs. Richards, its Allie, is Torie there?" Allie rushed through that, desperate to talk to someone.
"Yea, but she can't come to the phone!" another voice chirped. Allie got the feeling she was on speaker.
"Irma!" Tories' mom snapped, "I'm on the phone here! Can I give her a message Allie?"
"No, forget it", Allie sighed, "I'll talk to her in school tomorrow"
Cornelias' POV
Cornelia hit end on the phone, feeling very confused. Allie, Kapree, and Haley had called looking for Torie dozens of times before, but they had never sounded urgent or anything, not like Allie had just then anyway.
"I'm sure it's nothing", Cornelia said with a sigh, "So where's Taranee and Will?"
"I dunno, but they better get here soon", Hay Lin said, "I hate leaving the restaurant for too long…"
"Did Will say what this was about?" Irma added.
"No, just said it was important", Cornelia said.
"And it is!" Will said from behind them. Cornelia turned around and saw that Taranee was with her.
"Cool", Irma said, "Look at this, W.i.t.c.h. is-"
Irma!" they all snapped at the same time.
"Sorry, sorry", Irma said, now just sounding bored, "I forgot, since, we beat Pho-well, you know who-and all that ended, I'm not allowed to say that word anymore"
"Then why don't you try to remember a little harder?" Cornelia snapped. 'W.i.t.c.h. was a touchy subject, all it did was remind Cornelia of Cal-
Don't think about that, she told herself sternly, That was a long time ago, remember? Forget about him.
"So, what's the big emergency?" Irma asked, "I'm a busy person, I have things to do you know-"
"Oh yea", Cornelia said quickly, "Wouldn't want to miss out on tuning a tuborkle or something, would you?"
The look Irma gave Cornelia was positively murderous, which meant Cornelia had done her job. She and Irma had been at war for as long as she could remember; it was when they didn't nitpick at each other people started to worry.
"Well", Will said quickly, to try and prevent a fight, "I was listening to the radio, and grading some papers-Torie got a B- and I heard a news report-"
"You were listening to the radio and heard a news report", Irma repeated, "Why am I not surprised?"
"And there was a report about a bunch of people who claimed they saw a giant lizard in the park", Will continued without taking any head in Irmas' words.
"So?" Cornelia asked, "What's this got to do with us?"
"I know where Will's going with this", Hay Lin said, "Some far away dimension, on the other side of a certain Veil…"
"Oh no", Cornelia said, realizing, "No way Will. No way-"
"It was just a thought!" Will exclaimed, gimme a break, would ya?"
"Okay. We know what Will thinks", Taranee said quickly, "Anyone else?"
"What Will thinks of what?" a new voice said from behind them. Cornelia jumped a mile; it was Torie.
"Will heard a news report about a giant lizard", Irma said quickly, "I was thinking we look up 'Worlds Biggest Lizard' in Gooiness, and see if this one breaks the record"
Torie laughed and grabbed a soda out of the fridge, "You do that then"
"Oh, Torie, Allie called", Cornelia remembered, "Sounded kind of urgent…"
"Yea?" Torie said, "Huh. Oh, well, I'll call her back and see what it's all about. See ya"
"Cornelia sighed as Torie left. She loved Torie and everything, it was her daughter after all, but really, what would she think if she ever knew what Cornelia and her friends knew, she'd go nuts. Guaranteed.
Tories' POV
"So that's what you were so worried about?" Torie asked, "A rumor? Probably just some neighborhood prank"
"Come on Torie", Allie sad, "Stop and think. We're the guardians of some magical veil that leads to who knows where, and as soon as-what were they called again? Oh yea, portals-portals start popping up, we start hearing about giant lizards in the park? That is no coincidence Torie, I know it"
"Whatever", Torie said, "Gotta go Allie, see ya"
She sighed as she hung up. Torie looked out the window, and sighed, thinking about what each of her friends would be doing right now.
Allie would be in her room, desperately trying to avoid having to actually spend time with her family.
Kapree would be setting the table for dinner, and her brother would be desperately trying to squeeze as much computer time on as possible before his sister kicked him off.
Haley would be sitting down to dinner, listening to her parents talk about their day. Then they would ask Haley about her day. They were a pretty close family, with only three people. And Sam? Who knew with her? That was girl was a mystery to Torie. She never talked about her old school, her old friends, or her family, not much anyway. She might as well have not existed, for what Torie knew about her. It was completely frustrating.
Ellies' POV
Ellie shook her head as she read the earth guardians' thoughts. These were her enemies? She had been observing for awhile, and so far, she'd seen nothing worth getting worried over. Phobos had told her of the other guardians, these girls' successors, and Ellie had hoped these new girls would be like them. But so far, they were a joke.
Don't underestimate them, she told herself sternly.
Flash!
She was dancing through a meadow of daisies. She was three, maybe four years old. Her mother followed behind her, smiling. Her mother. Elyon. The queen of Meridian.
"Some day Ellie", Elyon said with a smile, "This'll all be yours. Someday…"
Flash!
"Ah!" Ellie cried. She stumbled backwards and tripped over root, trying to clear her head of the vision. It was…familiar, to her. Somehow.
"Doubting yourself Ellie?" said a taunting voice from behind her.
"Never!" Ellie cried, jumping up to face Cedric, "I told you, I can handle this on my own! Get lost!"
Cedric bowed deeply and disappeared without a trace.
"Fool", Ellie fumed, "I can handle this, he'll see"
