Chapter 8: The Mission
Catie's POV
I flew back to the ground and untransformed, I guess. I was still in my super happy, I feel awesome phase. That was quickly fading to the guilty phase and then, the embarrassment phase. I had gone a little far with the "I'm so awesome!" thing but really, I was pretty cool!
"Are you ok?" I asked that girl I had saved. She looked up at me. She had cute blue-green eyes, she had thin, curly blonde hair. She had a very intelligent look about her.
"I'm fine, thank you. Are you alright? That was a lot of magic." She said standing up. She had a slim figure, she was quite a catch. Not that I liked girls. I just feel, sort of intimidated. Not like I did with Stella, just insecure.
"Yes, I'm fine as well. What is your name?" I asked.
"My name is Isabelle. My friends call me Izzy." She said. I smiled at her. Just then headmistress Faragonda came running out.
"What is going on here?" She asked the group of people assembling around the girls, moaning on the ground.
"Oh no!" I said completely forgetting about them. I tried to duck behind Izzy, but she gave me a look like, are you kidding me?
I looked sheepishly at her. She gave me a reassuring look. Faragonda looked up at the hole in the hospital room.
"Who did that?" She asked everyone.
"Eric and Erin did, headmistress." Said a random girl.
"They did this?" She said signaling to the girls lying on the ground.
"No, it was this other girl, a fairy, who did this." Said another girl. I didn't like her. She reminded me of a girl back home on Earth, her name was Madison.
"Thank you, Madison. Caitlin, get over here!" Yelled Faragonda. Seriously, her name has to be Madison? Really?
I took a few steps forward and Faragonda walked the rest of the way.
"What went on in your head that made you want to do this?" She yelled. I was a bit taken aback by her yelling, because she was usually very nice, but I soon recovered.
"I don't know, headmistress." I said with a hint of sass in my voice. Suddenly some of the girls gasped.
"Headmistress, look at their necks!" Yelled some girl with pink hair. I looked over and saw a small phoenix bird, burned into their skin. Faragonda gasped.
"Yes, it's true headmistress." Said the quiet, yet evil voice of Whisper. "She is descended from Valtor." Everyone gasped. I looked around. Even Izzy seemed scared of me.
"Can someone tell me who Valtor is?" I said angrily. I was a bit angry at myself for being angry at the world. It was so icky! I would have to go shopping to fix this problem.
"Valtor was an evil wizard, who almost destroyed the magical dimension and took over the entire universe!" Said Ms. Faragonda gravely.
"Great! That's just perfect! My best friend is a witch, my dad is an evil wizard and who's my mom?" I asked. I had never known my real parents. I was raised in an orphanage until I was adopted at the age of five, by the two kindest and sweetest people in the world.
"I can answer that my dear." Said Whisper. Just the sound of her voice made the sky go dark.
"Your father is Valtor, and your mother is me." She said. I nearly threw up. She could not be my mother! If my dad was so evil, my mom would have to be so nice for me to be this way.
"You're not even a fairy!" I stuttered. Whisper laughed her cold, evil laugh.
"You are a fairy because I made it so." Said Whisper sharply.
"I don't believe you!" I yelled at the sky. Whisper laughed again.
"Fine I will show you." She said. Suddenly the clouds transformed into an image. It showed a man with long blonde hair and pale skin, I think he was wearing eyeliner. He had a red cape thing and a suit thing on. I'm guessing that was my dad.
"Whisper, show yourself!" He demanded. He did not seem like the loving type. I was relieved at the thought. Just then a beautiful woman appeared.
I gasped because she looked like an older version of me! She was more beautiful than me because of her curves. She was wearing normal clothes for a twenty something year old. She looked as if she were going to a party or night club.
"Oh Valtor dear, I know you can't resist me but you must be patient." She said seductively. Valtor scowled.
"I have no interest in you. I have told you that. I demand you give me your power to defeat the company of light." He said angrily.
"I can give you something better. A child, a daughter of the phoenix. She will be hidden from you and you will wish you hadn't angered me when you meet her." She said.
"That will never happen." Said Valtor. Whisper laughed evilly.
"Like you have a choice?" She said. She snapped her fingers and Valtor started twitching and collapsed.
"Your mind control spells won't work!" He yelled, apparently in pain.
"You're right, I will just take your DNA by force." She said stopping her spell.
She shot magic out of her hand and it went into Valtor's body. It came out seconds later with a glowing, dark red light. It absorbed itself into Whisper's body and she laughed.
"What have you done?" Valtor yelled.
"Control yourself. You will have to wait nine months." She said smiling. Valtor looked extremely angry. He shot something out of his hands and took her off guard.
She screamed and fell to the ground. She was twitching and screaming cries of pain. He was torturing her. He stopped. He looked down at Whisper with pity.
"I will defeat the company of light myself." He said and left.
Oh I highly doubt that." Said Whisper sitting up smiling.
The image shifted and changed into Whisper leaning over a crib.
"You are beautiful Caitlin. I can't keep you, though. You will go to Earth and be raised as mortal. Then you will slowly come back to me. You must train. You have to be prepared to meet your father." She smiled down at the baby.
She picked up the giggling baby and put her through a portal.
"I love you, sweet heart." She said. The images faded away and the clouds parted. Everyone was staring at me and all I could do was stare. I felt as if I was going to faint.
"I have to go find Valtor." I said to Faragonda. Everyone gasped but Faragonda just sighed.
"Fine, I will prepare you for your mission.
