Chapter 4: A New Day Has Come
A new day has...come
I was waiting for so long
For a miracle to come
Everyone told me to be strong
Hold on and don't shed a tear
Through the darkness and good times
I knew I'd make it through
And the world thought I had it all
But I was waiting for you
Hush, love
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come
Where it was dark now there's light
Where there was pain now there's joy
Where there was weakness, I found my strength
All in the eyes of a boy
Hush, love
I see a light in the sky
Oh, it's almost blinding me
I can't believe
I've been touched by an angel with love
Let the rain come down and wash away my tears
Let it fill my soul and drown my fears
Let it shatter the walls for a new, new sun
A new day has...come
A new day has...come
['A New Day Has Come' by Celine Dion]
Knock, Knock, Knock; came the annoying sound from the other side of the living room.
With a groan, Alex got up from her relaxed position on the sofa and slowly walked towards the door.
Knock, Knock, Knock!
"I'm coming!" she yelled. 'Well this sucks. I'm the one who has to get up and open the door yet I'm getting attitude?'
Alex opened the door and came face to face with Mason. "Mason!" she exclaimed, "what are you doing here?"
"This," he said before wrapping an arm around her and gave her a long, hard kiss with his soft lips. Unfortunately, he had to pull away eventually.
"I still can't believe you're mine," Mason whispered while stroking Alex's cheek lovingly with his free hand. He leaned forward and planted another kiss on her sweet soft lips. "Are you for a wonderful evening, love?"
Alex's eyes widened, "Oh my God! Our date's tonight? Oh I'm so sorry, let me just go get ready super quickly."
"Don't worry love; I'll be right here waiting."
Alex smiled and quickly pecked her boyfriend on his lips before rushing upstairs to her room to get ready.
Half an hour later, Alex came back downstairs wearing black tights and a dark red dress that reached just above the knees. It was accessorized with a black leather belt that made the dress hug her waist in a way that made Mason want to drool. Her hair was straight as usual but now had streaks of red in it.
To sum it up: she looked HOT.
"I'm ready!" Alex announced, posing for her boyfriend. Mason's jaw promptly dropped and he stuttered as he tried to say something articulate.
"W-Wow! Al-Alex y-y-you look absolutely gorgeous!"
Alex inwardly smirked. She fake pouted and said, "are you saying that I don't always look gorgeous?"
Mason's eyes widened and he quickly ran over to his girl, thinking he had offended her. "That's not what I meant love! I just meant you look even more beautiful tonight."
Alex giggled. "You know I always thought the Brits had dry senses of humor, yet you always fall for my sarcasm."
Mason blushed, but he still took her hand and walked her out the door.
[Later]
"I love you Alexandra Selena Russo!" Mason told Alex as they stopped outside the door of the Russo home.
"And I you, Mason Greyback, and I you," She whispered in bliss before leaning up to kiss her English prince.
He eagerly responded by wrapping his strong arms around her and pulling her in closer.
Before things could grow a little more heated the door opened to reveal an annoyed looking Jerry Russo.
"What the? Alex!"
Alex quickly jumped out of her bed, the memory of her first date with Mason quickly fading away into the back of her mind. She looked around her room until she found the person responsible for waking her up from her wonderful dream. "What?" she whined, voice cracking as she wasn't fully awake yet.
"You were supposed to be up half an hour ago! We have to meet the Council of Elders in 7 minutes!" Jerry exclaimed.
Alex didn't say anything and just sighed. She reached her hand out and her wand came flying into it from the other side of the room.
At her father's shocked look, she smirked gleefully. You see, she had been practicing her power of telekinesis and was getting better at it. Her control was better now but it was nowhere near good or even acceptable. At least it was an improvement.
Truthfully, she was a little bit surprised that she could do it. The first time she tried telekinetically calling her wand to her it was sent flying out the window. Luckily for her, and for the poor sap that would have been hit by it, she accidentally froze the wand; which allowed her to take it back.
Anyway, she started waving her wand around and chanting a spell.
"I'm running late to some stupid meeting, As unimportant as a simple greeting, But my fussing father is being annoying, So get me ready and let's get soaring."
With a white flash, Alex was transported to what looked like a space station. Naturally it wasn't but it looked really technological. They were standing in a long, narrow room with a line of… bean bags? A poke later, Alex confirmed that they were indeed beanbags. Anyway, the beanbag chairs were lined up facing one side of the room in which the wall was made of glass. They had a perfect view of a huge white room that looked really empty.
"I see you're here on time, Miss Russo. How unusual," the ancient English voice of Professor Crumbs rang throughout the room.
"Professor Crumbs!" Alex exclaimed in surprise, turning around to face the Wizard (who had flashed in and was sitting in one of the beanbag seats). "You scared me!"
"Oh?" he asked with amusement. "In that case I apologise."
"So what 's gonna happen?"
"First we'll test you for the 3 powers, then test you for some other special abilities that the Chosen had as well as any new ones you might have developed," he informed the young Wizard.
"Well let's get started!" 'Before Dad shows up and throws a tantrum 'cause I left him behind,' she added mentally.
"Very well."
Seconds later, Alex found herself in the huge empty room, where apparently she was to be tested.
"Well?" she asked herself, waiting for something to happen.
Suddenly the ground beneath her began to shake and eventually fall apart to reveal a sea of lava (like in those movies where the ground disappears and there's a pit of lava).
Alex tried to escape the path of the crumbling ground but it caught up to her and she felt herself fall.
'What do I do? What do I do? I know this is a test so one of the 3 powers must be the key to surviving! Okay, let me think I need something solid to stand or hang onto so that means…a force field!'
Alex closed her eyes and concentrated on creating a large force field to cover up the large gaping hole in the floor beneath her.
She then opened her eyes and saw that a large wave of blue energy was flowing out of her body and forming a platform beneath her. It spread and covered the entire hole. Then she squinted her eyes and concentrated on making the force field thicker. The energy obeyed her unspoken wish and began to increase. Soon enough the force field had grown thick enough for it to reach the surface.
Alex walked off the forcefield then let it disintegrate. When she did, the hole in the floor instantly rebuilt itself and clapping could be heard in the room. She looked up and saw that a group of about 10 or so, her dad included, were clapping for her in the room she was in before.
"Well done Miss Russo!" Professor Crumbs enthused.
Alex smiled at the compliment.
She was about to respond when an arrow flew past her. She yelped in surprise. Then as she turned to where it came from she saw a hail of arrows coming towards her. She hastily ran out of their way but they must have been enchanted because they changed course and turned towards her.
She extended her hands and tried all the various motions that accessed her other powers but they didn't work. She quickly closed her eyes and willed a protective force field to appear and shield her.
This move was soon followed by laughter. She looked up and sure enough they were all laughing. "What a joke the Russo's are," she could hear one of them say, despite the fact that they were whispering. "They claim their daughter is chosen yet all she can do is create forcefields. It's a shame that such a precious gift is wasted on her."
Alex growled. Very loudly. Apparently her telekinetic abilities, which were activated by her anger, gave her voice a large boost. They all turned to her with shocked expressions on their faces. "So the Russo's are jokes huh?"
She smirked at seeing the one who had been talking grow very very pale. "I'll show you a joke!"
She extended her hands with such strength that the Council of Elders before looked like they were facing death itself. At least now they knew never to piss a woman off. Especially not Alex Russo.
Alex released the fist she was making and focused her anger into that action.
One.
A crack formed in the glass wall of the room.
Two.
Many more formed until it was completely cracked.
Three.
The glass wall burst into a million shards of glass hurdling towards the Elders but before they could so much as scratch them they stopped.
Professor Crumbs looked past the millions of glass shards and saw Alex with her other arm outstretched.
Next Alex squinted her eyes and sent the destructive projectiles across the room into the wall.
"Well? Have I passed?" she asked with a cruel smirk.
Well what do you think? I finally put in some Malex for you guys so I hope you enjoyed it. And what about Alex's powers do you like her powerful fighter girl character?
Well, I hope you enjoyed it :D Please review!
