The New Guardian Chapter 28, a w.i.t.c.h. fanfic

EPISODE 28: LIGHT GETS OVER DARKNESS.

"And what does she want?" Will asked.

"Forgiveness." Taranee said then.

"Forgiveness??!!" They all asked.

Even the guys that were now sitting at the ground among all the scatered debrish and villager that were begining to stand there as they were released from their debrished coffings seemed a bit confused about that condition.

The red haired guardian was now floating about 20 metres from the ground, alone and appearing to be an ornamental statue made out of liquid light and darkness melted toghether making a black-and-white-flotating-statue.

She didn't seem as if she was even alive, but she was.

"Why would she want for forgiveness?" Peter asked.

"Don't know, but it seems important for her." Taranee said. "I'll try again."

She then tried harder and all of sudden, she appeared as possesed and wore white eyes with relaxed face and fish like mouth movements before going back normal.

"She wants to be forgiven for some reasons." Taranee said looking a bit dizzy. "All of us..." She added raising her sight to look to everyone one after another.

"Hey!" Irma said shouting. "Don't be so mysterious, you bullier!!"

"Will, Irma, Hai Lin, me and specially Cornelia." Taranee then called them. "She asks us for forgiveness for how she's behaved past days, with all of us." She added opening her arms to point also to the guys.

"This is not something to forgive her." Matt said wearing a funny face. "She has not done it on purpose."

"Yeah, and she was somehow funny too." Peter said. "Yet it seemed not herself anyway."

"Ok, ok." Will said raising a hand. "We forgive her for that. What else?"

"She also ask us to forgive her about..." Taranee said trying to concentrate again after Will's voice raised over the silence. "To forgive her for having appeared to get mixed with guys as if she was chasing their hearts."

"What?!!" Cornelia said.

"I can't believe she even thought about that." Joel said then.

"Yeah, where did she got that stupid idea?" Peter asked looking at the light and shadows guardian.

Suddenly all the girls but Elyon went red on their cheeks as they remembered how they told her about that.

"Ok, she gave us good reasons before." Will said.

"Yeah, there was nothing to forgive her there either." Irma said.

"Cornelia?" Taranee asked looking stright at her. "She specially adressed this to you."

"I... I forgive you." She said high to be heard by the statue. "You were not trying to flirt with them anyway, and the past days you were not the true yourself..."

"Oh, this is all rubish..." Will said. "Anything else?"

"Yes." Taranee said raising her sight to look at Elyon.

"Me?!. Why would she want me to forgive her about?" Elyon said.

"She wants to ask you for forgiveness for having destroyed your town..." Taranee said.

"It's a lost, but we will rebuild it." Elyon said then looking stright at the floating statue.

"You helped saving the people here! Who cares about the town?!" Caleb shouted at the statue then about crying of powerlesscy.

"And..." Taranee said interrupting Caleb. "Just one last... thing."

"Who now?" Cornelia said. "Cause she is behaving as a little girl now. Worse than Lilian..."

"She wants Elyon to also forgive her." Taranee said after concentrating on reading my will again and being hit by huge feelings waves.

"What does she want m to forgive her for?" Elyon said while Peter held his sister up with the help of Nigel.

"For her falling in love with your boyfriend, and brother." Taranee said before faiting.

That made silence fall among everyone.

The light and darkness guardian, that floating statue she was now, the one able to destroy a city on herown... she was askin for forgiveness to a queen not just for the chaos she caused trying to save the city, but also for falling for two of her dearest members; Elyon's brother: Phobos, and Elyon's closest guy: Caleb.

Everyone then fell silent; even the two refered guys.

"I..." Elyon said breaking the silence. "Caleb and I love was mistaken by both. He is a very important person for me, but it's not love... not anymore..." She said.

"Listen to this, you idiot!!" Caleb said shouting all of sudden and aiming his finger towards the statue. "Do you think you have to apologize for all that?! That's all rubish!! You have to get down here and speak yourself instead of being a coward speaking by other one's mouths!! If you feel so sorry about having destroy this place then come down here and rebuild it if you can!! If you want th guardians to forgive you come down here and fight with them!! COME DOWN HERE!! Please..." He then moaned nearly wishpering after yelling the rest. "Please... come down here... please..."

It was perhaps, the first time anyone could hear Caleb begging for something. And it was not on vain, all of sudden, something shinny began rolling down the statue's cheeks falling into the ground softly. After that first shinny thing another one fell down and then another and another and...

"It's... it's raining..." Vathek said putting out his big blue hand.

"I swear I didn't did it." Irma said opening her eyes.

"She is crying..." Kyrlee said then. "Still don't realise on it?" He added pointing to a mark at the statue's belly over her naked body.

"It's a Yin-Yan!" Hai Lin said.

"A what?" Irma asked.

"It's the simbol that simbolises the opposites..." Hai Lin said. "Day and Night, Fire and Water, Air and Earth..."

"Life and death." Kyrlee said interrupting her and rolling his eyes to then look up to the sky with his closed eyes letting the reain pool his face. "Light and Darkness."

All of sudden, everything there... all that was debasted began covering in trees and grass; the houses that once were stone made began rebuilding as wooden cotages made out of vegetation while silence began filling everything.

"I think she is giving us all a lesson." Kyrlee said smiling mildly. "Bad and evil things as chaos or destruction always are followed by great things as creation or peace and calm."

Meanwhile, when everything was green, the statue began lighting again, darkness and light begining to mix again being balanced again while the statue-girl began descending slowly until she was caught by Caleb and Phobos at the same time and they laid her in the middle of both, both taking care of her.

"Geeez, I hate this part." Kyrlee said looking away. "The fairy tale ending, disgusting and sissy."

"How does it all end?" Phobos asked.

"It's all so charming!!" Elyon said with Hai Lin cheerfully. "Fairy tales are great!!"

"In fairy tales, the prince kisses the princess and all is fixed up." Cornelia said smiling.

"The problem is..." Will said. "It seems we have two princes here."

"In fact it's a fighter and a rat." Irma said. "But ok, ok. She is not either a princess."

"Maybe if we did the same time..." Caleb said.

"Hey, Casanovas." Eric said. "It's to be a true love kiss. That means on the lips."

"There's the problem." Kyrlee said as if it'd been obvious all that time. "She's just have one mouth to kiss."

"Scisor, Paper and Stone!" Caleb said taking out his hand and wearing again the same as Phobos.

"Oh, this is just silly..." Will said. "They always take the same!"

"I was joking when I suggested this..." Irma said bored and sitting with the others at a stone bench.

"How long has it been?" Elyon said.

"A half an hour in my clock." Peter said bored.

"It's thirty three minutes and seventeen seconds in fact." Taranee said.

"At this rate she will be wrinkled and they would still be trying to see who is kissing her." Eric added.

"Yeah, I'm begining to consider fighting was the best option too." Orube said outstretching again in boredom.

"Scisor, Paper and Stone!" Phobos said taking out his hand and wearing again the same as Caleb.

"Why don't you try another way?" Matt asked. "You are always doing the same..."

"Ok, enough." Will said tired. "It seems we are not going to reach an agreement with that..."

"Man, I think we have to ask someone else." Taranee said.

"Why not baldy, Rasta-man and granma?" Irma said. "They always know everything, maybe they can tell us how to do it."

"Irma do not call them that!" Hai Lin said.

Then there was a little light flash and Orube re-appeared after having travelled to Kandrakar before and carrying We too.

"Hey, any news?" Will asked her.

"Hey!" Irma said noticing We. "It's long since we don't see that little fur ball."

"No, yet I tried asking them." Orube said. "It's to be both at the same time, even with the mouth problem it's to be that way. We!"

WE all of suden jumped down her arms and ran to the statue's body to kiss her lips and then curl at her chest as if he was protecting her.

"Do you think he is trying to tell us something?" Will asked raising an eyebrow confused.

"Yes, that he likes that kitty." Irma said. "You know, animals do like other animals."

"Irma, this is not time to joke around." Cornelia said. "We need to wake her up before we are noticed missing back home."

"Ok, I see it this way." Phobos said. "If we kiss her and she wakes up, she'll kill us; if we kiss her and doesn't wake up, she will kill us with her wild sleeping powers."

"She kills you two anyway." Cornelia said. "So, what's the problem then? Kiss her."

"Er..." Caleb said.

"DO IT NOW!!" The guardians and the guys said at once.

Then both kneeled down and tried to find the way of kissing the statue's lips at the same time, after some trying, they ended squeezing both faces and kissing her... Caleb gently and Phobos with some fear.

Nothing happened.

"And now what?" They asked.

It was night again at Meridian. Girls and guys from earth had left with the help of Caleb's dimentional tool's help he lent Will; anyway, guardians would return that night when their families would be sleeping.

"I feel so useless..." Caleb said with his hand against the glass pane of the room where the statue of the guardian was being kept.

"It's the first time I kiss a lady and she doesn't feel anything. Imagine how is my male pride." Phobos said. "Maybe it was your fault."

"Hey, never mind who the fault was." Elyon said boythered and worried on her sleeping gown. "It's a problem she has not woke up..."

Then Alborn arrived.

"Your majesty." He said bowing. "The warrior named Kyrlee is here, he asks for allowance to join you here in this sad times."

"Ah, yes... Bring him here." Elyon said nodding. "Yes, he helped us a lot in the fights... yes, yes. Bring him, please."

"Certainly miss." He said bowing.

"So Kyrlee." Phobos said. "Didn't knew my little sister could catch so many hearts."

"Shut up!" She said going red in her cheeks. "He is just an ally."

"Yeah, but she asked you for forgiveness for having fall for your 'boyfriend'. Was it the word? A not royalty-guy." Phobos insisted.

"Ah... that thing..." Elyon said nearly babbling. "It was not such... Caleb is my best male friend."

"Queen Elyon." Kyrlee said bowing gentely. "I must understand by this sight that she has still not woke up, has she?"

"Oh, Kyrlee." She said. "No, no news... She is still appearing as an ornamental statue. I just wanted to..."

"Geez... She will always be that stubborn..." He said rubbing his head back. "She will never do easy things, no! She has to do things more difficult that what they really are..."

"You seem to know her pretty well." Caleb said a bit jealous.

"Well... we are really good friends, back at our place I mean. She used to play with my sister and me before and after the training at that school my sister and her went to while I was sent to a different place." Kyrlee said sitting where he could. "She is just a bit close to us due to friendship, that's all. I'm not so close to her on the way you can think."

"I didn't thought about..." Caleb said.

"We don't care if she had something with you." Phobos said. "Now she appears to be in love with us two. If you had that kind of relationship with her it's clear it's part of the past."

Then Kyrlee smiled. That guy had certainly that dangerous and sharp answering face his friend's dark part used to like; while the other one, the warrior, had that brave, loyal and cute and sweet-tender face her light part loved so much. If she was to be wakened up, she would have to join both, as it was impossible for both sides to be on the same person, then it was written it would have to be both guys at the same time.

"Her future is a bit sad and hard." Kyrlee said sighing and smiling while he closed his eyes and kept them closed in fun.

"Ok, we are back at Meridian." Will said. "But we have still not found a way of doing it..."

"Well, let's hope Orube is luckier in Meridian." Cornelia said then.

"Yeah, I hope she can find a way on those books." Hai Lin said. "Yet I don't trust much on Cedric."

"We have to trust him." Will sentenced. "He is a library worm, and both Orube and Isa trust him..."

"Still nothing?" Cedric asked Orube that was on the top of a long ladder.

"Nothing, all I can find is the same." Orube said. "She has to be awakened with the fairy tale ending. And you?"

"Nothing either." He said throwing a book again away. "Nothing else than you. Kiss, kiss and she is awakened. It sais nothing about who has to do it other than the Charming Prince of the Story."

"We have to keep on looking." Orube said.

"Nothing." Taranee said with her face at her hands. "She took our powers and now she is still that statue's container of power..."

"I rathered my powers back in me." Irma stated. "I prefered feeling them and now it's as... being empty."

"I also feel naked." Hai Lin said. "Having my powers was like beeing special... Anyway, I want her back over all the rest."

"Geez..." Cornelia said then. "She's been giving us problems ever since she arrived."

"Cornelia!!" Caleb said. "I can't believe you are saying such!! She is your friend!!"

"I didn't meant that..." She then said a bit embarrashed. "I also miss her a bit. She was nice when she was light."

"And what do we do now?" Phobos said. "Speaking and regreting things will solve nothing."

"If you think you can do better..." Kyrlee said then. "You know, try getting in and doing what you think will do."

"I will." He said. "And then she will wake up."

"Guys, it's too late in the night." Eyon said after trying for hundreth time to return life to the statue. "May I offer you all a room to rest a bit?"

"We should keep on trying." Will said rubbing her eyes.

"We can leave it for tomorrow." Orube said. "Afterall, it's them two who must do it." She added pointing to a defeated Caleb that tried again and again until he was hurt by the guardian's statue powers, and Phobos that was now sitting at a chair patting too after having been burned his hand.

"Ok, everyone out of here." Elyon said. "We go to have some rest and sleep. I'll put you on the best guest rooms here."

"I would apreciate you allowed me my old room, sis." Phobos said holding his hand.

"Hey Cornelia." Elyon said while both shared Elyon's bedroom. "Couldn't you heal minor wounds? You could have healed Phobo's burned hand."

"Yep, if I had wanted." Cornelia said with irony.

It was late int he night when Phobos decided to have another go. He stood up at his bed and got wear with old clothes from his old wardrobe. Then he began walking down the corridor to the room where the guardian was being kept safe and sound.

"May I get in?" He said joking and getting inside the room. "Pitty you are like that. This place is too calm, some jokes would be good on this people." He added sitting down next to the guardian.

He just stayed there and waited in silence for a bit. Then he began speaking again, about how both of them could get fun on that place, how he would like to be powerful again...

"Really, I need you to be awake again." He said. "The other guardians don't seem to play nice on me, you are the only one being nice to me. I would say I don't mind but... well, the truth is I really care. I feel great with you, even when you are on that 'light' face of yours. I really need you awake; just cause... I miss you, I need you."

He was really seeming worried and sincere; for once in his life.

"Please, wake up..." He said caressing the statue's cold face. "It's just silly I can feel this, but I want to feel that great again... Since I lost all my powers I've never felt so great but for the time I'm with you..."

He really looked so cute like that... And more over, when he just bent next to the statue and kissed her softly but with passion, transmiting her all the feelings he felt towards her and didn't knew the name of or how to speak them out.

"See, see..." Kyrlee thought from his hide out. "I never saw such a thing like this one... An evil guy confessing to her, such an evil guy with such a huge darkness into him being turned out into light just by her kindness. Well, I mean... She is really cute on her light face; she has always been able to bring all the best from people and manage to make rulebreakers to behave better for a while."

Even when he was hearing all that, he couldn't believe the evilest person in all the dimentions could have anything good inside him, less that anyone could bring it out; not to say that he thought that the mission of turning such a darkness inside him into light would be an impossible task.

"Great, his kiss did nothing..." Kyrlee thought when he saw Phobos kissing the girl and nothing happening on her. "Wha..?!"

All of sudden, it seemed as if their stickened lips were shinning with a little pink light not able to be caught by normal eyes that just lasted for a second while they kissed and then disappeared.

"What was that glow?" Kyrlee thought. "What did all that meant?"

"Damn, this is useless..." Caleb said wishpering from his room window where he had been sitting looking out trying to find some rest on looking at the sights of his dear hometown in the night. "I can't rest while she is like that..."

He was feeling useless while he advanced through the corridor in silence while trying not to wake up anyone.

"I knew you would be here." Vathek said when Caleb was crossing the corridor to get in the one where the guardian's statue was being kept. "Couldn't sleep or you wanted to get another try?"

"Both." Caleb said. "How am I supposed to find rest if one of my friends, my best friends now, is down here petrified and not appearing to be even alive? I can't, sorry."

"Didn't meant to tell you off." Vethek said. "I know it is not easy to find rest while someone you know is not fine..." He added laying his hand at Caleb's shoulder while they stood at the room. "I supose you want some privacy."

"Thanks, mate." Caleb said looking at him while he stepped twince backwards before aiming to leave the room. "I wish I could do something else than just looking..."

Then Vathek left and closed the door back him leaving Caleb alone (while Kyrlee was hidding seeing all in the room) in the same room where the petrified guardian was laying at a table.

He then went by her side and looked at her; she just looked as always but made out of liquid light and darkness melted toghether making a black-and-white-statue. He then caressed her cheek and checked it was not so cold as he would have expected, it was colder than usual, but at the same time somehow half-warm.

"Even like this you don't seem to different from always..." He muttered. "I wish you were awaked... you are making us so worried..."

He felt weird, really weird.

"I... I'm feeling weird." He said sitting next to the statue and holding her petrified hand. "I don't know what it is, but it's the same but amplified that I've feeled before, with Cornelia or Elyon... Don't know, it's... it's weird, cause it's the same but on the same time different from all that... It's as... it's as if I needed you."

He then fell silent again. He thought about how to say all he was feeling and crossed his mind. Anyway, all of sudden, the image of the red haired girl appearing at the door of her bedroom with her hair messed on a weekend's morning wearing just her sleeping camisole saying 'goodmoring' when she noticed him filled his mind and smiled.

"I think I'm becoming adicted to you." He said. "I think I need to see again that face of you when you wake up and smile to me at the corridor while you are looking awful with your hair messed and that awkward thing you wear for sleeping. I need to see you doing five things at the same time, cooking, cleaning the house and listening to music... I need to see you moving so weird while some of that thing you call music sounds filling the whole house again... I need to hear you shouting at Phobos and me when we argue and he calls me 'servant' and I call him 'rat' or when we don't clean the house when it's our turn... I need to see you smiling while you go out of the school and you waving at me when I go to look for you all to your school... Ah! And even to see you shouting at us when we get in the toilet not noticing you were inside before." He added remembering the times he or Phobos caught her covered with just her towel after having get out of the shower and she shouted at them throwing something at their heads to make them back out. "I need you awakened, even if you keep on acting so evilly as those days since this madness began. I would not mind if you chosed Phobos... Even if you were that darkness thing again... I would not mind even if you chosed to beat me up when you woke up... anything in exchange of you waking up"

Now he was nearly crying; he would not not do such cause men didn't cry on his culture. He was being more than sincere. He didn't knew what was that feeling he had towards her, but it was certainly stronger enough so as to not minding anything if she waked up.

He then laid next to her looking for some consolation on being next to the petrified guardian. He laid his face next to her and then he caressed her face again; for some seconds he would have swore it was warmer than before; anyway, he laid his eyes at her lips. They were closen but not too tight, just on a casual closed position. They were really atractive and feelikable to be kissed. So appetizing that suddenly he couldn't held himself more and kissed them softly, nothing else than freting both lips as caressing kiss.

Nothing happened and no punishment was given, so he kissed her again; this time deeper and with more passion not realising he was telling her all he felt towards her with that kiss.

"Here goes another guy trying it..." Kyrlee thought when Caleb sat next to her friend. "Again seems he is feeling something strong towards her... pitty, this one seemed more like her. Brave and loyal heart, big light levels... But so for, she can't love him either..."

As soon as he kissed her for first time, Kyrlee nearly chuckled.

"Such a nice correct guy... he seems afraid of letting his feelings get out." He thought. "Kissing like that will not take him anywhere... She is really experienced on that, but with evil guys..."

Anyway, when his lips stuck to hers for second time, the passionate one...

"Ahh!!" The guardians shouted at the corridor while it was moved by a powerful wave after another. "What's that?!"

"Looks as if it came from there!" Elyon said when another wave hit them.

"The statue!!" All shouted at once as they realised on it.

"What've you done, mooron!!" Phobos said returning to the other side of the statue that now was again raising in the air giving off those energy waves and holding her left hand while Caleb held her right one. "Why is she floating again?!"

"I don't k now!" Caleb said. "I just kissed her!!"

"Who allowed you to such!!" Phobos said while the door burst open and Kyrlee jumped in the middle of both sides.

"Do not get near them!" He told the guardians, Vathek and Elyon that had arrived there.

"Oh, please!" Will said. "She is making chaos again!"

"How can you even sugest such!" Elyon said crashing into him to take him away and being held by him around his arms.

"Stop and watch!" He said. "She is fine!"

It was true, while the statue was rising again held by the hands by Caleb and Phobos, it began changing back taking human colours she used to have; slowly, slowly and taking its time... Until...

"Ah!" The guardians shouted while they were hit with the waves of power coloured on gray, blue, red, green and pink making them fall down.

All of sudden, the same way it all began stopped and the statue went back down slowly to the table making like a ball with the hair messed and the belly with the Yin-Yan still visible while her arms were folded on a weird way as if she was sleeping and had fallen over the table not even noticing she was the centre of the atention.

"She is... She is..." Taranee said pointing at the guardian that now laid flat.

"Hey... wake up." Caleb said holding her head at his lap. "C'mon... wake up..."

"Do not make her so close to you..." Phobos said holding her head too and so, placing it in the exact middle of both guys' knees. "I am the one that will get her."

Then she moved her eyelids softly to begin opening them slowly as if she was exhausted.

"Isa!" Both guys shouted.

"I... I'm..." She began muttered. "Back... Th... Thanks." She added smiling.

Then, all of them smiled mildly too.

"Hey." Kyrlee said. "Just for checking... who is stronger, Yin or Yan?"

"Ba... lan... ce." She said.

"Great..." He said smiling. "She is back... after so long."

"Back?" Taranee said.

"Yes, the real her." Kyrlee said. "Chikiyami."

Then he kneeled down and so did Orube with a confused face where some tears had began to form.

"Where am I?" The red long haired guardian said still a bit confused.

"Chikiyami..." Orube said. "You are back at Earth, on the guardians headquarters."

"What's up?" She said softly trying to stand up with a soft and wide smile. "I'm not that Chikiyami you call."

"What?" Orube asked confused.

"My name is Isa." The red haired said looking to a little pendant she had. "Yes, I like that name..."

"Yes, sure." Orube said smiling softly.
