Yeah... I'm SORRY!!!!! I come in peace too, this is CH11 of WfG, no tricks or anything. I was very busy over the past few weeks and found it hard to work on this and school work at teh same time. But, as my school is coming to an end, I will be able to write and update faster. This is also a shameless plug for my new story called Undeserved Punishment and is really good and dark. It's not going to be a long fic, maybe 8 chappies at the most, but I believe it is one story that you won't wanna miss. Anyways, I think I've done enough stalling, onto CH11.
The mid morning sun was beating down fiercely on Danny, Sam and Tucker as they made their way towards Sabrina's house.
"Ok, so Sabrina's going to teach you how her powers work today?" Tucker asked for the millionth time that morning.
Danny sighed. "Yes. This is the last time I'm telling you. We both need to master each other's powers, and since I still have no idea how most of mine work, she thought it would be better if we started with hers."
"But Danny, that's the thing," Sam started. "If you have no idea how your powers work most of the time, how are you going to explain it to Sabrina?"
Danny pondered this as they turned the corner of Sabrina's street.
"Well," he said at last, "We'll deal with that when we get to it. Besides, it's not like their totally different. She has most powers I have; the only things I would really have to teach her would be ecto-blasts, though she does have those flames, the ghostly wail… and some others," he mumbled the last bit to himself.
Sam looked at him apprehensiously. "If you say so," was her answer.
They finally reached the door. Tucker reached for the doorbell and waited. Almost out of nowhere, a woman, with dark brown hair and brown eyes and a huge smile on her face opened the door.
"Um… hi?" Tucker asked cautiously. The woman let out a cry of triumph.
"She made friends, FINALLY!" she screamed loudly. Danny, Sam and Tucker took a giant step back from the doorway.
"Uh... is Sabrina home?" Sam asked, her voice falsely calm as if she was trying to get away from something she feared.
"Oh, she's up in her dreadful room again. I swear it's a miracle for her to actually have friends come over," the woman said excitedly. "She not very popular, I think moving away from Rainsville a couple years ago hit her hard. Anyways... would you children like to have something to drink; it's not everyday our little girl brings home a new friends… especially three!"
The trio, who were completely freaked out, shook their heads and almost ran up to Sabrina's bedroom, and knocked hard.
"Sam, I'd never thought I say this, but your mom isn't that bad compared to Sabrina's mom," Danny said to his friend.
"Actually, I've never met another person that peppy before," Sam said, shivering slightly.
The door didn't budge. Confused, they knocked again, only to hear a distant voice say that it was open.
Turning the knob, the trio gasped; instead of Sabrina's enormous room, it was a huge training gym, with her bookcases rammed up against the sides and wooden floors. In the middle of it all was Sabrina, sitting on a cushion, her hands rested in her lap and her eyes closed.
"Like it?" she asked them, not opening her eyes to look at them.
"It's awesome," they replied, walking over to her. The door closed almost on it's own.
"So, what am I learning first?" Danny asked eagerly.
"Sit," Sabrina said, not moving an inch of her body or opening her eyes. They all did what she said. "The first thing you're learning is to know more about yourself," she told him.
"Huh?" Danny answered.
"Meditation, it helps you learn more about yourself, that way it should be easier to figure out things you don't know… say how your powers work?"
Danny flushed. "Right." He looked over to Sabrina, who still hadn't opened her eyes once to look at them.
"Ok, so you ready?" she asked. He nodded and Sabrina smiled.
"Wait a minute, how did you see his nod?" Tucker asked confused. Sam and Danny looked at him oddly. "She didn't open her eyes once, and she seemed to know what we did."
"I felt it," Sabrina said. "It's part of the mediation cycle. You must feel vibrations of everything around. It's also part of me showing how to use my powers. But first, you must figure out a lot about yourself."
Danny sighed. "This is going to take a while…" He studied Sabrina's position closely, before copying the exact same thing. He closed his eyes and waited.
"Sam, Tucker, you might want to move away from where you are… this can get a little out of hand," he heard her tell them.
"Ok… so am I supposed to do this?" Danny asked after a few minutes of silence.
"You must clear your mind, let nothing in or out of it, just keep it blank. No emotion, no thoughts, nothing," Sabrina told him.
Danny let out a sigh and thought of nothing. But how was he supposed to let go of his emotions? It was so confusing. He tried again and again.
"You're thinking too much," Sabrina's voice called out to him.
"That's something you don't hear everyday," Tucker laughed, "Danny thinking too much."
Danny scowled at his friend's remark. He heard Sabrina sigh again and footsteps walking around him.
"Let's see if this will help," Sabrina told him. "Listen only to my voice, do what I tell you and it should work."
"Ok…" Danny said hesitantly as he waited for his instructions.
He heard the footsteps circle him as he tried to clear his mind.
"Alright Danny, listen to all sounds around you, not your thoughts, nothing else but the sounds around you."
Danny did what he was told. He heard Sabrina's footsteps, as well as rustling winds, a clicking of something (maybe from Tucker's PDA) and something else. It was crackling, loud and defiantly didn't fit with the room.
"Good, I see you heard something out of the picture, what do you hear?" Sabrina's voice told him, sounding far away.
"I hear… something crackling?" Danny told her, feeling his forehead crinkle in thought. He heard Tucker snicker in the background, then gave a pained yelp as Sam shushed him.
"Ok… now try to move closer, with your mind, to the sound. Focus your mind to one specific sound and follow it," Sabrina instructed.
Danny focused, and as the sound got louder, he focused harder. Soon there was a dim blue light shining in the distance. Confused, Danny mentally moved closer to it until it became blinding. He knew what it was right away; he had seen that light every time he transformed. He mentally reached out and the light burst into different directions. Danny gasped, as Sam, Tucker and Sabrina.
The next thing Danny felt the ground shaking. Everything was still dark, but he could see dim outlines of Sabrina's entire room, as well as the people.
"Great job Danny!" Sabrina cried. As she spoke, he felt the ground shake a little bit. "You've found your inner centre. I must say, I'm actually surprised you found it this fast; it took me longer to find it. Now for the next step."
Danny felt more vibrations, and saw the outline of Sabrina started to glow dimly in blue light, almost like a charge of ecto-energy. He "looked" at her intently as he felt more vibrations in the ground and the energy starting to form.
"What are you doing?" he asked her, slightly confused and scared.
"Who's doing what?" Tucker asked confused. "Nobody's doing anything."
"Actually, I am doing something Tucker," Sabrina said. "I'm guessing you can sense the energy right Danny?" Danny nodded. "Excellent. You can open your eyes now."
He did so and stood up. "I know this is supposed to help, but I can't see how," Danny said, confused. "All I did was sense your energy. How is that important?"
Sabrina stood in front of him. "It's very important. Witches and Witchums can sense and use each other's energy to their advantage. It's like our defence power. If we feel energy around us that we don't know about, we know that something's wrong."
"So… it's like my ghost sense in a way?" Danny asked.
"I think so, from what you've told me about it, it does the same thing," Sabrina replied. "From what I think, we need to sense each other's power to use each powers. But we also need to learn to use them."
"Now, for a witch's or witchum's power, you must come across a trigger of some kind, to hone in when you use your powers. That would be your power source when using powers."
"What do you mean?" asked Danny.
Sabrina sighed. "Let me give you an example. You remember Solan and Luna right? Do you remember what Luna had told Solan about the sun almost down?"
Danny nodded.
"Solan's trigger is the Sun. He absorbs power from the sun and uses his powers. When he becomes weak, he absorbs more power and regains energy. When the sun goes down though, he is almost powerless. If he uses all the energy he stored, there's no way he could recharge himself until morning. The opposite is true for Luna. As you can guess, they never go to things together, save for something formal."
"So what's your trigger?" Danny asked before he could stop himself.
Sabrina smiled.
"My trigger is a little different," she replied, smiling slightly. "Maybe I should explain this more. A trigger usually comes as a power source of some kind, but sometimes rarely, an event triggers your powers and you would have the same amount of power all year round, except at night where all powers are increased. My real trigger was when I found my pendant. As for Taika, we now know that her trigger is a lunar eclipse."
"Got it… now how do I find my trigger?" Danny asked, slightly concerned.
Sabrina looked at him for a few moments before smiling. "I think you already found your trigger," she said, smiling.
"Huh?"
"I think you already found your trigger. I mean, I doubt you were born half ghost," she said, raising an eyebrow.
Danny, Sam and Tucker burst into hysterical laughter.
"Are you kidding?" Danny asked between laughs, "I got my powers in an accident with the ghost portal."
"Really?" Sabrina asked, deeply fascinated.
"Yeah. But that's a long story so let's get back to work," Danny said.
Sabrina shook her head and smiled. "Yeah. Ok, so now that you know what your trigger is, it's time to learn how to use my powers." Sabrina walked to one corner of the room and faced Danny.
"A witch's or witchum's power takes a lot of concentration and energy movement. You need to feel the energy leave you and take form." She demonstrated the energy moving from her stomach to her head with her hands.
"Each witch or witchum has a different source of power. For example, Solan's speciality is fire while Luna's is water. Mine
is a little bit of both." Her now opened hand suddenly held a bright blue flame, dancing furiously. "I call it cold fire, because no matter how much there is, it never seems to be warm."
"Cool," came the replies of Sam, Tucker and Danny.
"Yeah. Now Danny take note," Sabrina continued, bringing her hands together. "Focus all the energy you have to your hands," she closed her eyes and Danny felt Sabrina's energy starting to surround her.
"Concentrate on the type of energy, attacking energy or defending energy," Danny felt Sabrina's energy have a mighty increase, "and then what you want it to do," Sabrina finally opened her eyes and a dazzling display of blue fire swirled around her.
Sabrina looked and smiled at the amazed faces of her friends.
"Ready to give it a try Danny?" she asked.
Danny looked startled. "Uh… I'll do my best." Danny closed his eyes and hoped for the best.
"Let's try to do one thing at a time," Sabrina said. "Let all your energy build inside you and take form."
Danny felt his energy starting to build, but not much.
Confused, Danny opened his eyes. He looked down and realised that he wasn't in his ghost form. He smacked himself in the head "Duh," he said, as he transformed into his ghostly self.
Danny tried again, closing his eyes and tried to make his energy build. He felt it rising and rising, feeling that he wanted to unleash it.
"Good," Sabrina's voice said, "Now try to make form into fire."
Danny concentrated on the type of fire Sabrina had. The image of the blue fire danced in his brain. He felt his energy level increase, and could see dimly the fire forming in him.
Danny finally opened his eyes and threw his hand in front of him. Instead of the ecto-blast that he was half expecting to see, he watched as a stream of green flames shot of his hand. Danny looked at his hand shocked, as did Sam and Tucker. Sabrina however smiled.
"Great job. I think that you may be able to tap into most of my powers now!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, but I don't think I'll have a couple minutes to use that in battle," Danny said.
"It'll come along. All you need is practice," Sabrina told him.
---
"Great work Danny!" Sabrina told him, as he managed to master another one of Sabrina's attacks.
"Thanks," Danny replied with a smile. Sam watched on while Tucker was playing around with his PDA.
Danny's smile grew a little bit as a thought crossed his mind. "It's time for the teacher, to become the student," he said grinning as he faked a wise samurai voice.
Sabrina sighed. "Fair is fair," she said, changing her appearance into her "witch" form. "What you got ghost boy?"
Danny chuckled a bit. "This is going to be complicated, considering I really don't know how most of my powers work all the time. From my experience, my powers usually just… happen. I barely even think about it and it works," he told her in a serious yet unsure tone.
Sabrina shrugged. "Well, I have to try anyways. What do I do teach?"
"Well… uh... um… yeah…" Danny stuttered.
Tucker rolled his eyes. "You've got a great teacher there Sabrina… Mr. Stutterer." Danny pointed his finger at Tucker's PDA and blasted a small ecto-ray at it, disabling the signal. "NO!!!!!!!!" Tucker screamed, "I was downloading more cheats for Doom!!!"
"Well… now you'll get creamed fairly," Sam said, smiling at her friend. "By the way Danny, nice aim."
"Thanks" Danny grinned.
Sabrina rolled her eyes. "Not that I don't love this lovey-dovey moment, but can we continue with my training?" she asked.
"Right," Danny said, blushing slightly. "Ok… let's try this, think about becoming intangible, and hopefully it'll work."
"Ok, here it goes," Sabrina said. She closed her eyes and thought about becoming intangible. Ok, intangible, see through, walk through walls, walk through people, miss attacks she thought to herself. After a few minutes, she sighed. "It didn't work, did it?" she asked.
"Nope," the three other teens said. Sabrina opened her eyes and sighed.
"Maybe if I show you it'll be easier," Danny said. Danny quickly went intangible, turning himself to a see through blue colour and went back to normal.
Sabrina looked at him in thought. "Can you do that again? Except, you know, a teeny bit slower?"
Danny looked baffled. "I'll try…" he said hesitantly. Danny went intangible as slowly as he could, and tried to keep himself from falling through the floor. Sabrina looked at him and then smiled.
"I think I get it, you can go back to normal now," she said after a few moments. Danny retained solid form and watch Sabrina. She smiled as she tapped her left wrist with her right index finger.
"Uh… what are you doing?" Danny asked.
"I think I figured out something," Sabrina said. "But I still need your help. When you first got your powers, how did you use them?"
Danny looked at Sabrina like she grew another head. "Uh… technically, my powers used themselves. Every time I felt sad or angry by powers would act up. I barely had any control for the first month!" he told her.
"Aha!" Sabrina said, smiling. "Your powers work with emotions and thoughts!"
"Huh?" Danny said, confused.
"Think about it, when you first got your powers, every time you were angry or sad they would work. So that means that your powers were tied to your emotions. And now you just said that you have to just think about them and they'll work. So, naturally your powers are tied to both your thoughts and emotions," Sabrina explained.
"Wow, it was so obvious, why didn't we figure that out sooner," Sam said sarcastically as Tucker and Danny still struggled to comprehend what Sabrina just said. Finally, Danny's face lit up in realization.
"So," Sabrina continued, ignoring Sam's sarcastic remark, "I should try tying my emotions with my thoughts to get it to work."
Sabrina closed her eyes and tried concentrating on becoming intangible, except this time, she thought of a really sad memory at the same time. Soon, she felt herself sinking though something. She opened her eyes and screamed; she was going through the floor! She concentrated and flew out of and landed on the floor.
Danny smiled. "Yeah, that was my reaction the first time too," he said as he watched Sabrina look at herself to make sure that she was all there.
"That was so weird… Yet so cool!' Sabrina exclaimed. "What's next?"
"Let's try ghost rays," Danny said, chuckling at Sabrina's reaction. He opened his hand and showed Sabrina a small green ball of energy forming in his hand.
Sabrina nodded in comprehension as she opened her hand again. She concentrated on a ball of energy and sad thought, but then she started to fall through the ground again. "WHA!" she exclaimed in surprise. She got herself out again and looked at Danny for advice.
"Um… maybe try not to use the same thought," he suggested, shrugging.
Sabrina nodded, and tried again, this time thinking of an angry thought. She soon felt the heat of the blast in her hand. She opened her eyes and smiled. "Well… this is fun," Sabrina said, happily. "Shall we continue?"
"I thought you'd never ask," Danny said, smiling slightly as they continued their lesson.
Ok, so there it is. I know that it isn't very action packed, but this chapter needs to be done. Anyways, please review, pretty please?
