Of Fire and Ice

I don't own anything from W.I.T.C.H but I do own minor characters.

Chapter 7

Mom smiles and says, "That's a wonderful idea my Tranty doodle bug. Come on Pete and you too honey it will be fun." I couldn't help but giggle at my moms nick name. It sounds crazy but I'm glad I did something right. We get the ball and as usual we went first we're known as the women. We make a few and so did the guys. We finally get to final shot that determines the game. Mom goes and shoots the ball but all of a sudden a grave looking man steps on the court with weird cold eyes. I hide behind my mom and my brother and father step ahead of us. We all stood there like figurines in a battle field waiting for one or the other. 'The silence is suffocating what does he want? I've seen him somewhere before' The man's eyes shift over to me and I shiver at the gaze. Suddenly my brother and father are on the ground groaning in pain. I squeak, "Leave us alone."

Mom at some point left for a short amount of time. He walks toward me I go to move but immediately fall to the ground. 'COME ON I HAVE TO MOVE!' Try as I might I don't move the slightest inch. I shiver and close my eyes thinking it was the end of my life. A shot rings out into dark and I dare to open my eyes. Suddenly the man falls toward me and I was able to move then. Mom looks at me while her hands shake and drop the gun. I run over to her and hug her tight. Mom sheepishly asks, "Are you ok baby?"

I nod and say, "You ok mom?" Mom didn't answer but broke down in tears. Both my brother and father run over and see the man dead on the ground. Dad had a worried look on his face and so did my brother. Unfortunately I am too young to grasp what had happen and what was going to happen to mom. Dad walks over and hugs us both along with my brother.

He whispers, "It'll be alright Theresa." Mom just sobs and nods meekly. The sound of sirens fills the air and the smell of death isn't too far behind. I begin to fear for my mom I don't understand what happened. Dad's eyes turn stern and cold as the artic circle.

Mom hugs me and says, "Taranee dear go inside with your brother." I obey and Peter takes me inside. I look out the door nervous about what was going to happen. 'WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY IS MY DAD SO SERIOUS? OH NO…' Suddenly I see my mom being shoved in the police car and Dad going to get in his car. My brother sighs and I begin to cry but I don't sob. I ask, "Is mommy in trouble bro?"

His eyes shift to me after a long pause. He answers, "Mommy will be fine Taranee, don't worry I'll take care of you."

I sigh and say, "Will you read my favorite story bro?"

My brother smiles and reads the story. 'Mommy, please, come back. Protect me from the dark or worse another fire bursting out. I miss you and I hope you're able to come back home.'
