Of Fire and Ice

I do not own anything from W.I.T.C.H but I do own minor characters.

Chapter 13

We all sit quietly as we have to go home without mom. "MOMMY! WHY, DO THEY HAVE TO TAKE MOMMY AWAY?" Days go by without much sound every time I go home it is like there is no air. My brother refuses to talk to me once again. My dad has a sad smile and works more. I go to school with a fake smile and pretend to play with the other kids. 'Mommy, why did you have to leave again?' No one needs to know my tears. Suddenly some boy throws a block at me. For the first time I lose my temper and the next block he throws. I catch and throw back at him. It looked like the block had fire on it. I gasp and get in the way of the block. I get knocked out… I wake up in the nurses' office. 'Stop looking at me. I'm tired and heavy hearted.' I just sit there and let them look me over. Mrs. Roberts has this concerned look on her face. I try to smile and say," I'm ok Mrs. Roberts."

She just hangs her head and asks, "Taranee honey did you get mad?"

I nod and look down feeling ashamed that I would do that to someone. I just wait for some scolding words but all I get is a hug from my teacher. She asks, "Taranee I read what happened to your mom are you going to be ok?" I wane to say no and burst out in tears.

I calmly say, "Yes." She helps me up and we go back in the class. Everyone just stares at me with a cold, cutting glare. I just sit down and read my book. When school let out it wasn't much different at home. I just walk in quietly and finish my homework. I get tired of feeling the suffocation so I grab the camera grandma sent me for my ninth. I just walk outside and take pictures of the snowy scene and a few patches of green. I'm surprised when I hear a familiar Creek reek. 'Oh it's my buddy from the park.' It jumps on my shoulder and plays a comforting song. I smile and it jumps on a light colored blade of grass. A little bit of snow was around it so I quickly take the picture. I run into this field of snow where the sun doesn't touch it. Little did I know my buddy is with me the whole time I run, jump and feel the strangely comforting cold sensation, on my skin. Suddenly I see an interesting group of bugs each having a distinct color of there own. I take pictures and feel the need to research about these bugs. I see my buddy joining in with the interesting bugs. For a while I didn't feel so alone and I actually laugh as they tickle me with their tiny legs and feelers. 'These bugs are my friends how strange? Hey it works they don't hurt you or try to kill you. What am I going to name all of you?' I still take interesting pictures and I smile as I watch them play. Then I smell an awful smell at first it smelled like burnt rubber. I try to find out where it is coming from then when I look at my buggy friends they all fall over. I get a closer look and see that all of them are dead. 'NO WHY ARE THEY DIEING!' I see that rotten boy I was throwing that fiery block at. Spraying something that smells really awful not to mention is hurting my lungs. 'EWW I WISH I COULD GIVE HIM A DOSE OF HIS OWN DOING!' Suddenly I get courage and walk over to that boy and say, "HEY WHAT DID THOSE BUGS DO TO YOU!"

He looks at me and says, "Aww look it's the sissy girl who saved me from that stupid block. They're taking up my ground so they deserve to die."

I feel my temper rising and wishing for something to happen. Suddenly out of no where flames appear on his shoes. 'YOU ROTTEN LITTLE BRAT! YOU ARE A MONSTER!' He screams and cries, but I just stand there with the same fiery fury in my eyes. Suddenly I hear my brother calling, "TARANEE!" I walk away and the boy runs home in fright. I feel so numb and cold inside. I don't really care how flames appear on his shoes the reason is he deserved it. I just look at my brother feeling lifeless my only friends I could ever make are now gone.

My brother asks, "What did you do Taranee?"

I just curtly say, "Nothing bro, just trying to talk to him." I just walk past him and wonder if I can get the pictures developed soon. 'I wonder if dad will get the pictures developed for me. What are you thinking Taranee he is too busy to deal with anything? Just forget asking anyone to do anything. I'm alone and I guess I'd better get use to it.'

Peter catches up and asks, "Hey what's wrong baby sis?"

I answer, "Everything is fine bro. Mom is gone, my buggy friends are gone and I'm doing excellent in school."

'You wouldn't understand bro if I told you.' He doesn't say anything for a while. We get home and suddenly he turns to me and asks, "Want to go to the photo shop tomorrow with me?"
