Chapter Two
Fiona was worried for her husband and those she cared for but was more worried for herself. Suddenly she'd been given incredible power as well as her friends. She wanted to tell her True Love her secret but knew Nassa could use him to get to her. It ached more than she could ever know. Nassa was watching this with pleasure. "She feeds my hunger with her misery and sadness. She wishes to tell the one she loves that she's the leader of the Protectors of Aria but cannot! It is too good to be true. I must use this against her." She cackled evilly.
Ariaelle, Marina and Chrisa then met up with their friend at the mall. They saw sadness on her face. "What's wrong?" Marina asked Fiona. She watched as they sipped smoothies. "It's this Protector of Aria thing. I can't even let my husband know in case Nassa uses him. Why did we ever decide to do it?" Fiona told her sadly. Chrisa understood. "Yeah I know how you feel. I can't even tell Adam about it either. But we're helping those who can't defend themselves and save a kingdom whose hope has been taken from them." She told her reassuringly. But Ariaelle shocked them. She was in her magical Protector gear with wings talking to boys! That made Fiona angry. Her chest then glowed with the golden light of Heartus's Locket. Suddenly Ariaelle was back in her normal clothes and the boy she was with ran off. She saw a golden glow from Fiona and realised what had happened. "Why did you do that for? I had that guy right where I wanted him! Now I'll never get another chance ever again." She yelled at Fiona. She scowled before talking. "We're not supposed to use our powers to flirt with guys! We're supposed to use them to stop Nassa and save Aria, okay?" she replied calmly. Marina smiled at this. But Fiona shivered in fear. Everybody in the mall was frozen except for Fiona and her friends. Somebody appeared. "What's going on?" Chrisa asked. "Greetings ladies. I see you're the ones trying to stop me." She said from the shadows. "Show yourself!" Ariaelle demanded angrily. Nassa laughed as she stepped out from the shadows. She had grey skin, long flowing blue hair, slender bodied, brown eyes that masked a certain sense of cruelty. Fiona then transformed into her Protector form. "What about us?" Marina asked. Suddenly Heartus's Locket appeared from within her chest. Rainbow coloured drops surrounded the other girls and transformed them into their Protectors forms with wings. "Let's do this!" Ariaelle yelled proudly as magic glowed around her. But for some reason Nassa wasn't interested in the other girls. She then trapped them in a force field. Fiona was nervous. "Why do you not attack us?" she asked boldly. Nassa laughed at this cruelly. "I know you're afraid to fight me Fiona. You know I'm going after those you love especially that handsome husband of yours. He'll be so easy to take from you and it'll be fun watching you crumble as I destroy him while you watch helpless to do anything!" she cackled as she faded.
Ariaelle saw fear on their friend's face as she used her magic to free them. "I've got to go. I'll … see you later okay?" Fiona said as she flew off. She then landed at the swamp and used Heartus's Locket to transform herself back to normal. She then went in but something wasn't right. Where was her husband? She then remembered what Nassa had told her and shivered in fear. She realised what had happened. She then transformed back into her Protector form and flew off. Rage was flowing through her body at the moment. Nassa was playing with her at the minute and she wasn't amused…
