Once Upon A Time and Lara
James nodded, "I heard. I don't know what we should do though. I'm thinking just let them go..." He noticed that Calla was awake. It was late at night, and she was still weak. He grabbed her an apple from the table and pushed her gently back onto the bed, "Go to sleep." he said, "It's late." When her heavy breathing filled the room again, James turned to Danny, "I don't know if we should kill them any more. They don't seem so bad. I think we should just let them go on their way in the morning." He said.
Calla got an apple. She was thankful. She laid there on the bed listening to their conversation. She pretend she was asleep. She knew it was not nice to spy , but what else could she do? She heard that they wanted them to go in the morning. Why did Sam have to ruin it? She was happy. She felt like crying. She never cried. She will wait until they fall asleep to leave. She should rest for awhile."Yeah, I agree with you. The hunters will think Calla is dead so how do what do we say about the Sam?" He was tired. "Can we finish this morning? I'm going to bed." He got up and went to his room. To sleep. He closed his eyes.
James leaned his head against the boards and sighed. "Why is this so complicated?" He said to himself. "I don't want to kill them, but they can't stay here without getting killed either." He sighed, "Their best chance of survival is to stay away from us." It was the way it had to be. Only one of the witches had the powers of invisibility, so it would be too hard to hide them in an area swarming with hunters. He wanted them to stay, he had made friends with both of them. He knew they were nice, but he was also cautious of Danny's feelings. He may not be too keen on them yet. His eyes grew heavy and he let them shut.
He heard them stop talking. She got off the bed. She felt dizzy at first, but it soon wore of as soon as she started to walk. She got open the door. She was free and alone. She hoped no one heard her. She saw a little pond by the cottage. She sat on the rock. Tears were in her eyes. She knew this had to be. She didn't say goodbye again. She had to be alone. She hurt the people closest to her. She wanted to leave. But she couldn't seem to get up. Then she heard a snap of a tree branch. She saw her Aunt. "I see the darkness didn't consume you." "No it didn't." She stood up and looked into her Aunts black eyes. They were soulless.
"I guess we could try again."
"No you won't." She started to walk away and her Aunt grabbed her. "Let me go." She screamed at the top of her lungs. Again the same day the darkness went in her, but it didn't take over her mind or body. She was stronger. "I said let go me." Her Aunt went flying. Her Aunt was gone in blink of an eye. She ran back and fell in the garden. She begin to cry. She was different. The evil inside of her seemed to be weakened by her good. She was a good witch. Her powers are getting more uncontrollable. She started to cry. She didn't want to leave James.
Sam woke to hear a scream and then crying. She tiptoed outside to find Calla siting by herself, near the pool. She sat down beside her, quiet for a moment, letting her friend cry, "Hey," She said at last, "Are you ok? You can tell me all about it if you want... I'm a good listener." She looked up at Calla, waiting for what she would say.
"What did you say to the boys? They want us to leave in the morning." She was skipping the fact that her aunt showed up. She didn't want to leave James.
"Well," She started, "Danny was giving me a rough time. He obviously doesn't want us here, so I said we would go partially just because I wanted him to shut up." She admitted. "I heard someone crying..." She paused, "You don't want to leave him, do you?" She asked, raising a brow.
"First off you can speak for yourself. But not me." She said this words harshly. She could feel her power growing inside. It wasn't evil it was her own power. "No I don't want to leave him. I'm feeling things again. I blocked out feelings for such a long time." Her aunt only wanted her power. That is what she was trying to do.
Sam nodded, briefly debating whether she should leave before any questions about her secret were asked, or if she should stay. Finally she said, "I understand. And as for feelings, I feel them too. I want to have friends, which is why, if you stay, I stay as well." She looked down. She didn't want to be on her own any longer.
"Ok." She can't stay mad at her because it's not her nature."They want us to leave because it is too dangerous." He was right. She never had a crush before. "The war is coming soon. Soon I will take my moms position of lead witch of the good witches." She will be looked upon.
Sam looked up, "Are you sure? There will be a lot of pressure on you in that position." She said, worry in her eyes. "I will support you in whatever you decide to do." She said at last. Then she looked down. She couldn't lie to this girl, not after she had been so kind to her. "Um, there's something I haven't told you..." She said quietly, digging her toe in the dirt.
"Well yeah, but it is what I have to do. " She knew it would be hard. She will get her full powers on her birthday. She will become the most powerful leader since her mom."yeah what is it you have to tell me?"
Sam nodded, Calla was really set on taking her mom's place. She looked over at Calla, "I'm not a witch. And I'm not human either. Since my powers relate to a witch's we made up that story to cover our trail."
"If your not a witch nor are you human what are you?" Her words weren't harsh.
Sam felt a little uncomfortable spilling her secrets, but she kept talking, "Well, I'm part Starlighter. They are a race that has the energy of the stars in their veins which they can use as they wish. My Dad was the last pure starlighter, and now I am the last of that race." She looked around, worried that someone else may be listening, "We use the energy of the stars to our will. So we can shapeshift, and since we are energy, we do not need spells to channel magic to our bidding. We are..." she paused, "How do i put this... like, made of magic itself." She looked down, "I have reserves of energy hidden in my that I was forbidden to use, because like you found before, if the black witches got a hold of it, that much power would have a devastating effect." She stopped and looked over at Calla to see how she was taking it all in. "Some people called us angels, others, called us elves." She looked out at the rippling water on the pond... not sure what else to say, but immensely relieved that it was over. "I can do almost anything I wish, within the limits of the oath I took."
"So what your saying is once I started sucking your power out. It put me on a power hungry spree. That is why it was so hard for me to stop?" She was looking at Sam. With her cold dead ice blue eyes. She was angry.
Sam shook her head, "No, you were power hungry because of whatever that black witch did to you. I know how to hide my extra power so that no one but I can use it. But if you had gotten a hold of it, you would have melted." She was begging silently that Calla would understand. She had told the truth, there was nothing left to do. "You can't tell any one about me, ok?"
"That black witch was my Aunt." She looked at Sam. She wasn't going to talk about her life anymore. "No you see every time i tried to stop something kept sucking me back in." She was angry. She looked away."My mom was a dark witch. She met my dad when she was sucking out his power. Something happen that day that made my mom change into the a light witch. She became the new leader easily. She was very like able. My Aunt is the one who killed my parents." She didn't know what else to say. She blocked out the emotions for so long because her powers are tied to her emotions.
Sam looked up at her, "I'm sorry." She didn't know what else to say, "I really am." She scooted closer and put an arm around her shoulders.
She was hugging her. She felt good to have a friend. But something stirred in her. She smelled power. Oh no. She is not going to become a dark witch. She is good. "I'm a good witch, but I'm dark too." She didn't give in to the dark side. "The reason I'm here is that I have to find someone to be my boyfriend before I can become a leader. My dad was originally a witch hunter, but that day my mom tried killing him something went wrong. He got some of that dark power and light power put together. They both were turned. One was a light witch and one was a hunter. That is how we pick our leaders." She was nervous.
Sam looked at her incredulously, "Like an arranged marriage thing? You have to have a husband before you can be queen? Wow, I didn't think they had those laws anymore." She grinned, "Wait a minute... You want James don't you?"
"It's not arrange marriage, because I get to chose who." She blushed. She felt so happy."Yeah, but how am I suppose to ask him or find out anything. I'm suppose to go up there and say your witch hunter and I'm a new queen and I would like you to be my king." She let out a light laugh.
Sam giggled, "I really don't know. Never had a boyfriend myself. But, I would suggest not doing it right away, you may want to get to know each other better first. That way there is a bigger chance of him saying yes." She smiled, elbowing Calla gently, "Besides, you've got me to help out." She waggled her eyebrows, "There's no way he'll resist you."
"Yeah well he is leaving tomorrow. My aunt knows I want him. So she'll use him on me. We have two weeks. To make him fall in love with me and to stop the dark witches. " She knew was impossible to happen. That is why she needed him to accept the fact right away.
Sam grinned, "Oh baby, its on! We can do this thing." She looked over, "So, what's first on our 'get the guy and save the world' plan?"
She let out a laugh. "I have no idea. We could make jealous of me, but I don't like that idea." She was clueless."What I do know is we need to get in there before they think we are gone." She looked up at the sky the sun was beginning to rise. It looked pretty. Danny saw the sun peaking in through the window. Today was the day the witches were going. He felt bad for James because he really like Calla.
Sam nodded in agreement, "Ok, I'll telleport us into the bedroom." She closed her eyes, and in a flash, they were inside the house. James had just woken up. He yawned and rubbed his eyes.
She thought about what to wear. She shimmered into a light pink tee shirt with faded shorts. She had pink flip flops on. Her hair like usual fell into the perfect position."How do I look?" She turned around at Sam.Danny stretch and got up out of bed. He went to the kitchen to decide to wait for James.
Sam grinned, "Beautiful! But..." She closed her eyes and added a thin line of eye liner to bring out the color in her eyes, "There, now you look perfect."James stood up and entered the kitchen. He found Danny already there, "Where are the girls?"
"Thanks." She smiled. She felt normal for once, but nothing was normal about her. She turned the knob. She didn't know if Sam was behind her, but she didn't care. She walked into the kitchen."Here they come James."Danny was watching them walk in.
"Good morning." She took the seat next to James.
James had a hard time not looking at Calla. It took an enormous amount of self control to not let his jaw drop.Sam surveyed the scene with a satisfied eye. James was helpless. She caught Danny eyeing her and she raised a brow, turning back to Calla and James, "So... what's for breakfast?"
"Yeah, what is for breakfast." She had the biggest grin on her face. She was happy. She was staring at her at first. Of course she was use at people staring at her in public. But never by someone who she liked.Danny couldn't help look at Sam. Something drew him to her. Other than fact that she was a witch.But what?
James stood and opened the fridge, pulling out a loaf of bread and some butter. "You can make toast if you like." He said, pulling out two slices for himself, "Toaster's over there." He motioned to the corner.Sam stood and grabbed some bread for herself as well. She was hungry because she hadn't eaten for the past day.
Toast sound good. She grabbed a couple slices for herself. She put the two slices in the toaster. The toast popped back and she butter her toast. Toast in one hand and a knife in another. She let out a yawn. She put the knife down. Not realizing she had toast in her hand she stretch and hit something. She turned around to see she got her toast jabbed in James face."I'm so sorry." She held back her laugh.Danny sat there watching her hit James with toast. He started laugh his butt off. This was hilarious.
James wiped butter off his nose and grinned, "No harm done. You better be careful with that though, you could kill a fly or something." He glanced at her face. She was even more beautiful with the heat of embarrassment in her face.Sam watched the interaction and grinned, raising one brow. She sighed and leaned back against the table, her arms behind her head. If this kept up they would be married by tomorrow.
"If I were to kill anyone I wouldn't use a butter knife that is way to easy." She let out a laugh. She got close to his face and said,"I like more of challenge." She grinned and sat back down at the table. Was this consider flirting? Danny was still laughing until she brought up the subject of killing.
James smiled and raised a brow. Was she threatening? Or flirting? He couldn't quite tell. "Hey, I need to go grab some apples from our tree outside, you wanna come?"Sam looked over at Danny and was surprised to see an uneasy frown on his face. Worry knotted in her heart: would this boy be trouble?
Did he take it as a threat? "Sure I would love to come." She got up from her seat. "Lead the way." She was really bad at flirting. When they got to the apple tree and saw the apples were covered with dark magic." Don't take them." She blocked him before he could get any apples.Danny saw Sam looking at him." You know you guys are leaving today?"
James raised a brow, surprised, "Why? They look fine to me..." He said, trying to grab one. Sam fidgeted, "Well, um... actually, Calla didn't want to leave, and I am staying with Calla soooo..." Her voice grew quieter.
"Don't grabbed the apples. They are covered in dark magic." She wondered who put that there. She knew was her Aunt. She is trying to compromise her chances of becoming lead witch. She was furious. "Please James." She didn't want any of her words to come out harsh."Your what!?" They are staying. They can't. The other hunters will want their report on how the hunt went. This such great news. What else could go wrong?
James shrugged, "If you say so." He motioned for her to follow, "We've got other trees.""Staying." Sam said again. "I know its probably not the most convenient, but... we've got other issues on our hands at the moment." She said, motioning to James and Calla through the window.
"Ok." She followed him. They were all bad. Her face went pale. She didn't have time to get him to fall in love."James they are all bad." She was going to prove her point. She said a spell to show the apples true magic. They were all black. "What concerns them?" He was angry at her.
James backed up, "What, what is that? What happened to them?" He asked. Every single red apple was now black, and dripping with some black goo. Sam shook her head, "Calla and I can not leave, but we can NOT stay here..." She looked out the window again, "Can't you see that they like each other? Splitting them up wont happen." She paused, "But if we stay here, it will be trouble for all of us." She looked him straight in the eye, "We ALL have to leave."
"We have to go now." She grabbed his hand and ran back to the cottage. She open the door."Sam she ruined the apples. We have to move now." She was referring to her Aunt. "Do you know of a safe place?" "What is wrong?" He saw the shock on James face. James did like Calla. But they both know that it will never happen.
Sam gasped. Ignoring Danny, she turned to Calla. "They were here?!?" She thought for a moment, "I do know of a safe place in the mountains we could stay in. I can telleport us only halfway there though. I warn you, the journey will be hard. The mountains are said to habit some strange and unfriendly creatures..." She looked over at Calla, "Is it worth the risk? We would be completely safe once we got there, and it is an ideal place for you to..." She whispered, "rule from." She wasn't sure if Calla had told anyone else about the whole queen deal yet.James was completely confused. What on earth was going on?
She didn't know what to do. She was confused. To act on her instinct she would say yes. But if they run that would show weakness. They needed time to plan."Ok." She has to be able to make plans quickly and handle them well. If they go they will survive."We will come back.As soon as I'm ready." She heard her whisper rule."James can you guys trust me." She looked up at him. Danny was so confused."Why do we have to go?"
James nodded, even though he was worried, he did feel he could trust her. Sam turned to Danny, "We aren't safe here. And like I said, there are too many hunters around here to stay even if there wasn't the threat of dark witches." She looked around, grabbing Calla and Danny's hands, "Everyone hold hands. We have to be touching if you want to land on the other side and not be lost forever." She looked around and the chain of hands, "Ok, hold on, this is going to be bumpy."
She closed her eyes and her hair began to glow again. Her eyes glowed brilliant white.
Around the four, the world began to spin, quicker and quicker until it was just a blur. Then it stopped suddenly.
The landscape had changed from a small cottage to a flowery field, with a mountain range in the distance.
Sam immediately collapsed to her knees from exhaustion.
They were here. It was beautiful. It seemed so peaceful. She ran over to Sam."Are you ok." She helped her up."Ok where to now.""I never asked to come." He said angrily. Danny didn't want to do anything with these witches.
"Well next time I will make sure you stay at the place and die." She was mad. He was being ungrateful.
Sam shook her head to clear it, "Yeah, I'm good now." She pointed to the mountains, "We need to go there." She said firmly. They looked so far away... She heard Danny complaining, and then Calla telling him off. "Come-on guys, we just saved your lives. Besides, I can't send you back now." She began walking, "Stick together everyone." She said.Calla followed Sam, and James followed Calla, with Danny at the back of the line. James looked around, excited to be on an adventure, but still insure who he could trust.
She heard someone talking. She notice Sam was sleeping next to her. She got sat up slightly."James I'm hungry." She whispered being careful not to disturbed Sam. She let a yawned. She manage to get on the edge of the bed to walk towards James. She got up and she felt dizzy again. So she sat back down.
