And here's chapter 2, Happy new year to all! :D
Previously: As Halloween got closer and closer I started to see my parents trying to spend as much time with me as possible, they would spoil me, they would show and tell me all sorts of things to do with magic, giving me the idea to start experimenting with it. I worked out that it takes more concentration then the chakra that I use to use, and that the magic is wildly unpredictable, once I accidentally turned my bedroom into a garden. My parents were surprised but they weren't angry with me, and it just made mum start to cry and hug me tightly, I guess showing then that I'm advanced for my supposed age wasn't a good idea, as it seemed to make them worry more. For the week leading up to Halloween I had the same vision over and over again, the night my parents would die, small things would change but no matter what I seemed to try and stop them from dyeing, it won't work and just lead to worse consequences for this world.
So in the privacy of my room I cried silently as I thought about my lack of ability to be able to do anything to help them, being just a baby with an undeveloped body and not trained enough fight. You would think that with the amount of precious people I've had to watch die or be the course of said death (My mother before this ones), that I would be use to it...
But each and every time someone comes into my heart it just becomes harder and harder to say goodbye, and now your probably asking why the hell would I not just close off my heart then, and the answer is simple.
The pain means I have lived, that I can love, and be love. I don't want to fell nothing at all, because then I wouldn't be living, I would just be surviving and that's not the kind of person I am!
So if I have to cry and grieve silently every time I lose someone, then maybe that just makes me a type of masochist, but I believe that I just care for other people too much to be closed off from everyone, I hate seeing other people suffer, physical or emotionally.
Chapter 2: The Cursed Night
It wasn't until the night before, that I dreamt of something completely different, it was a white room with only one wall as a mirror from floor to ceiling.
I wasn't alone in the room, my old selves were there each standing in a corner opposite the mirror, we all shared a small smile before the first me (Claire) stepped forwards.
"Hello Harriet, we don't have much time!" She turned her head and looked back over her shoulder at the other me, Nagasaki nodded and moved to kneel in front of me.
"Listen Harriet it is very importent that you try and understand what we need to tell you, can you do that?" I nodded slowly and started to have a bad feeling as to what they need to tell me.
"Harriet, you need to stop trying to keep your parents from dyeing-" Nagasaki started to explain calmly, I flinch backwards away from them.
"Why? They're kind people, they don't deserve to die like that. I know that all changes come with a price, but I'm willing to pay it if they could live-" I started cutting her off, I just couldn't sit back and watch them die, I've watched so many people I've cared about die, I really want this time to be different.
"DON'T..." Claire shouted, cutting me off she froze and closed her eyes before taking a calming breath, before reopening them and kneeling down beside Nagasaki.
"Listen Harriet I know you have grown to love these people, but please try and understand something. If you save these people now, yes they would live today. But the man will also live and he will succeed in killing you, leaving that world unprotected and ending in the death of 75% of the worlds population, including your parents, and this all happens in only two more years." Claire continued, my eyes widened and started to water, so even if I saved them, they would still die and take almost all this world with them?
"And by saving them means invoking all the powers from all the worlds that you've been to, it would cost you all your knowledge and powers from our past and future's, meaning we will no longer be able to help other worlds, and when we die in this world, it will be our last!" Nagasaki finished for Claire.
"No... I... Why do I always have to lose everyone I came to care about? Can't... It's just not... Not fair!" I cried as I sunk to the floor, I squeezed my eyes shut and bowed my head, I felt two warm hands on each of my shoulders making my lift my head and stare at them with teary eyes.
"Sweet Harriet, we understand and one day we'll find where we belong, and won't have to lose anyone ever again. But until then we need to hold the power of light and spread it to all the world that are struggling with the darkness!" Nagasaki leaned forward and kissed my cheek sending a shot of energy through my body, I gasped as my magic that was turning like a hurricane inside me settled and started to flow powerfully through my body.
"Our time is up, all that left it to help you calm your body, magic and your mind!" Claire whispered before leaning forwards and kissing my forehead again power shot me, but it stayed in my head, my mind that always seemed to be so over full with information sorted itself, making it easier to think about a single thing without pulling on four other things at the same time. I sighed at the release of all the tension that seemed to have built up inside me, finally being removed.
"Thank you!" I breezed as my body relaxed even more, they both smiled at me and each squeezed one of my shoulders.
"Now we have to leave, please remember what we said!" Nagasaki said as she started to fade, becoming transparent.
"I know it won't be easy for you but somethings just have to happen, for the greater good of everyone, we believe in you Harriet!" Claire said as they both full disappeared, suddenly the lights started to glow even brighter white until I couldn't see anything and it became to unbearable for me to keep my eyes open.
...
...
When I reopened them I was back in my room, with the smell of eggs and bacon in the air. Wiping my eyes to get rid of the remaining tears, I stood up in my cot and looked around my room, today will be the last time I will get to sleep in it. I will miss this room, full of all my favour things in this new life and full of the love of the parents that I don't deserve. In came my father when the signal on my cot informed them that I was awake, he's face held a sad smile as he looked at me.
"Morning daddy, Pickles took boggy again!" I greeted my dad and throw our family cat under the bus, but it was worth it because it brought a genuine smile to his face.
"Well that's very naughty of Pickles isn't it? Did you have a good sleep my prongslet?" He asked as he came and picked me up, I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, there was this really big snake and it was chasing me!" I said happily, my dad frowned and looked down at me as we climbed down the stairs to the kitchen.
"How is that a good dream, wasn't it scary?" He asked taking the last step of the stairs.
"Nooo, silly daddy, I turned the snake into a rainbow lollie and everyone that ate some, then they all started to change different colours, You turned yellow and purple!" I giggle as my dad burstered out laughing at the image I presented, it was silly and didn't make any sense but it did its job to cheer my father up, and that's how we walked into the kitchen. Mum smiled at the sight as dad went over and kissed her.
"Ewk, daddy!" I said being the child that I am, it seemed to lighten the mood more as they both laughed.
"Morning darling, are you hungry?" Mum said as she took me from father and kissed my cheek, I smiled as my stomach gave a loud grumble.
"Yum, yum, yum, yes please!" The last bit of worry seemed to leave the room as we all sat down to eat our last breakfast together, after that, daddy had to do something and mummy took me outside to show me some plant magic, I loved making a withered flower regrow.
After that daddy came and mummy left, daddy showed me all these cool little gadgets that change colour and made different shaped bubbles. I giggled and tried out my now calm magic, to show my dad how to stick to a tree, two feet off the ground. After mum returned we ended up spending the rest of the day together, doing all fun things at lunch I had to have a nap, but woke two hours later to have more fun.
It wasnt until the sun started to set did my parents start to tense up again, mum took me upstairs and put me in my crib, and used her wand to seal the door. I could hear dad moving things around down stairs and feel his magic spread around the house, mum brought me back into focus as she crouched down in front of my cot and gently brushed the hair from my face.
"Harriet sweetheart, you are so loved, daddy loves you and mummy loves you! No matter what happens tonight remember that we will alway be with you, giving you our love and watching over you!" As she said this banging and shouting began down stairs, I couldn't seem to hold back the tears that began to fall as I heard the pained cry of my father, mum moved quick sending out a gold light from her wand that circled me and my cot. Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out a small silver bracelet, she put it on my left wrist and waved her wand over it, it grow warm before cooling and sitting nicely on my wrist.
"Mummy, I love you!" I said though a sob, she wiped her tears away and leaned down and kissed my forehead, banging started on the door to my room, before it bursted apart, mum moved quickly to face the man that has come to kill me.
"Move aside, and you won't be harmed, you have my word!" The cloaked man said as he moved into the room, he waved his wand a bit, but mum stood taller and raised her wand.
"Never!" And with that mum and the man started firing magic at each other, it was fast moving and started blowing up bits of my room, where the redirected spells hit. I sat stone still as I watched them start to move around the room a bit, but once mum was out of the way of the cot the man smiled and shot a blinding green light towards me.
"Avada Kedavra!"
"NOOOO!" Mum screamed as she jumped inbetween me and the spell, my tears fell harder as her scream of pain echoed around the room, then as quick as it happened everything fell silent. Mum layed unmoved on the ground, I couldn't stop the tears and couldn't stop looking at her body, this is all my fault.
"Foulish woman, now then!" The man said as he moved forwards and lowered the hood of his cloak, but I payed him no attention and just continued to stare at the form of my once beautiful and full of life mother, now a lifeless pale body, staring unseeing eye at the wall near the door.
"This is the child that's meant to be my equal, haha she's so pathetic and small, oh well feel blessed child that you should die by my hand, for with your death I will continue to create a world were those filthy muggles become slaves or die, and with you gone no one can stop me, for I am the great and powerful dark Lord Voldemort!" The man went on, not seeming to realise that I wasn't listening to him at all, or that he's trying to boast to a fifth-teen month old baby. It wasn't until he looked down at me did he see I wasn't even looking at him.
"Damn child, listen when someone is talking to you... No matter, once I kill you, you won't remember a thing anyway, now then any last wor- oh wait your a baby, oh sometimes I can be so forgetful!" He joked to himself as he raised his wand and gave an evil chuckle, I looked up at him with tears still falling and a smiled plastered on my face.
"Bad man going to lose, bad man have no love, so he lose!" I said as I stared him in the eyes, he laughed and lifted his wand higher.
"Oh but child, I already have won!"
"Avada Kedavra!"
So there you have it, please let me know what you think so far.
Cheers
until next time GaaraRules29 :D xx
