Once Upon A Time and Lara
Sam nodded, she had been so determined on leading them to the mountains, she hadn't noticed how late it was. telleporting some wood into a pile on the dirt path, and using her magic to light it, she sat down tiredly, "Will you guys give it a rest? Get some sleep. I'll take first watch." She said. James sat down as well, clearing a spot on the grass. Laying down his cloak, he stretched out on it. There were so many strange things happening. He knew the witches meant no harm, but what would they meet on this journey? Did Sam really know where she was going? What sort of dangers would they face? Eventually, his eyes closed on their own.
"Sam I'm staying up." She is use to sleeping very little."Sam do you think I should tell James?" She felt guilty for lying to him. She really liked him. "Also is my outfit a little too much. I mean I wear most of the time."Danny quickly fell asleep.
Sam nodded, "Sure, the company would be nice. And at some point, yes, I think you do need to tell James, but as for when... I don't really know." She looked at Calla, "Your clothes are a little, well, black, and I don't know if he'll like that because the last time you were black you almost killed him, but I think its up to you." She looked over at the mountains that didn't seem to be any closer, "You have heard that tales about what lies in the mountains, right?"
"I don't have any type of leather to wear. Anyways no one would take me seriously if I had a pink leather suit with pink boots." She let a small laugh out. "Um no I haven't this place looks familiar though."
Sam laughed, "Good point."Then she frowned a bit, "The stories I grew up on told of wolves and bears the size of houses, strange magical beings that lived in trees, and living rock animals that looked like mountains." She sighed, "Of course those were just fables... but you never know." She looked up, "This probably looks familiar because this is very near to that ancient trade city: Arean?" She smiled, "My mom and I would have picnics in these feilds after visiting the city."
"Never heard of it." She really didn't. Then it hit her. She saw this place in her dreams. Sam didn't need to know about the dreams. The dreams that lead to her death. She gulped."Yeah you never know." She paused."So what do you think I should wear?"
Sam paused, thinking, "Hmmm, well, I think maybe go a little softer on the darks? Try adding some color. Like a red scarf, or a purple belt, you know, something to break up this shadow your wearing." She grinned.
"Wow. I was thinking of this designer jeans. With my pink sparkle shirt. In these mountains I'm not taking of my boots." She laughed. Her clothes were are very stylish. She never really went shopping.She just thought of something and poof there it was.
Sam laughed, "Sure, sounds good." She closed her eyes and changed into her own outfit. "Since I don't have someone to impress, I'm going to go with practical." She spun around, "How do I look?" She was wearing tall chestnut coloured leather boots and a leather jacket to match, dark blue jeans, and a beige scarf wrapped around her neck.
"You look awesome. And hey I'm going practical that is all I have." She simply said. She quickly blinked into her outfit. She added her neon green leather coat. She loved bright colors. "How do I look?"
"Thanks," She said smiling. Scanning Calla's outfit up and down, she nodded, "Stylish, and practical. You rock girl. But hey, do you mind if I sleep for a while? I'm getting kinda tired."
"No it is ok." She sat there quietly. She was alone once again, but it didn't bother her. She was trying to figure out what to say to James. She sat there. She saw something move in the shadows. What was that?"Guys I think we have visitors." She quickly switched outfits back to her leather suit. She is ready to fight. She got her sword ready.
Sam had just sat down when Calla's voice brought her into her attack stance. All of her senses were wired and ready to pounce.James yawned and looked around. He heard something moving. He jumped up and pulled out his sword, "What is it?" He asked quietly.
"I have no clue." She couldn't see what it was through the shadows."It looked like a wolf." Her sword burst into flames. It was flickering again. But why? She didn't feel darkness in her. She will figure out that later."What is it?" Danny saw Callas sword flicker different colors of flames. Was she evil?
A loud snarl broke the silence as a large wolf leaped out from the shadows. Sam pulled out her light-sword, and pointed it at the wolf. It was scrawny looking, obviously starving. Jake leapt at the wolf and hopped from a large rock onto its massive back. He raised his sword, prepairing to give the final blow to its neck, when the wolf swung its head around, clamping its jaws onto his leg. Sam flinched as she heard the bone shatter, and then James' scream as the wolf tore him from his back and flung him to the ground.
"James!" She shouted. It was her Aunts. Her eyes glowed a bright color. She ran towards it. Her sword flickered more and more. She was angry. Storm clouds start forming. She jabbed it in the stomach. It burst into flames. Then it was gone. She ran over to James. "Stay awake please." She begged. Tears were coming into her eyes. Thunder and lighting crackle in the sky.It all happened so quick Danny didn't know what happen. His friend was hurt. Calla was causing a storm like she did when she was dark. He was afraid.
The wolf was gone... Sam thought it couldn't have been real. Wolves never came this far south. So who sent it? And why the storm? Where was it coming from? "Calla! Its ok, I can fix him. Try to calm down, there's no need for the tornado thing again." She walked over and knelt by James. He moaned and sat up, "I'm fine," He gasped, "Sam's right Calla, you need to calm down a bit. I'm ok, we're all ok."Sam closed her eyes and fixed James' leg. He groaned and then flexed it, "See? All better." He looked over at Calla as he stood, "Are you going to be all right?" He asked, "And what was that thing anyways?"
She calmed down. "Yeah I'm going to be alright." The storm stopped. What is happening. Her powers are getting more out of control."Sam my Aunt sent it." How did she find them?"Something is wrong with my powers." Her powers are stronger and going dark, but why?"Are you a dark witch?" Danny was concerned.
"No I'm not." She didn't know what she was. "Um i need to tell you guys something." Sam already knew about her mom.
Sam felt worried. Would Calla be ok? Was she going to tell the boys about her mother, now? "If there is anything I can do to help with my powers, I'm here for you." James looked over, was she hiding something? "What is it?" He asked.
"My mom wasn't always a good witch. She kind of was a dark witch and the witch who was after us is my Aunt and she wants you dead, James." She said this really fast. She was nervous. "So your saying your a dark witch?"
"I'm not a dark witch." Storm clouds started forming in the distance.
"Calla." Sam whispered, "You got to put a cap on the storm calling thing. I think you're freaking out the boys." She whispered, pointing to the clouds. James backed up, shocked. So because he had dared to like a witch, now all the witches wanted him dead!?! he frowned, "They want to kill me because of you!?" he asked angrily.
"I'm not meaning to." The storm was getting bigger. She felt awful. When James yelled at her."No because I like you and my Aunt doesn't want me becoming the new leader and the only way for me to that is like a person and the person must like me back." She was nervous. She didn't tell him the rest. "So your using James to get what you want."
"No I would never do that." She was in tears now. The storm wasn't getting any better.
James just stood in shock. Was she using him? She said she wasn't, but it sounded like she was. And she liked him!? Thats crazy! He thought only he had feelings for her, and she didn't have any back. Sam looked up at the sky, "I don't think that's you Calla..." She realized, "Run! Guys, the dark witches are coming!"
"No." She froze. Everything was going wrong. She can't freeze like this. Her emotions were out of control. "Hi sweetheart." Her aunt landed touch the ground. Her aunts black eyes were sucking her in. "I didn't get to finish the job I started the other night."
She went over to her and put her hand on her. She felt the darkness inside. Her eyes changed black.
"Let me go." She was struggling.The storm touched. It was the biggest one she ever seen.
"Never. You like that power don't you."
"No!" Sam shouted, "Step away from that girl." She said coming over to the black witch. She knew she should not use her star powers, but she would if she had to, "I am warning you woman! Get away from my friend... or else." She glared, fire kindling in her chest. She would not let this evil witch get her friend again.James backed up, he knew this would be a battle best left for the witches to handle themselves.
"Answer me truthfully." She didn't know what to say. She wanted to say no. Her mind was slowly being fog."Yes." She regret saying that. She is fighting as much as she could."I said let go of me." She was angry.
"I guess the darkness isn't strong enough. Grabbed the other witch Marie." This time her aunt put all her darkness in her. She felt like she was drifting away."Now what do you want?"
"Power." She said.
"Yes you do." Her Aunt grinned.
"I said... DONT TOUCH HER!" Sam shouted. She was shaking with anger. You want to play rough? Oh I can play rough. She thought. The black storm winds halted when they reached her, they had no power around her. She began rising into the sky, her hair and eyes glowing, "I warned you..." She growled down to the black witch. "Don't you think there is a reason good always triumphs over evil?" She grinned rougishly, "It's because white magic, is stronger than dark magic." She said. "And you, madam, are rather unfortunate, because, I, am white magic." She laughed, "You don't stand a chance. If I were you, I would surrender now, and leave. Before things get ugly."
Her Aunt let an evil laugh out." You see my niece here needs more power. She will become a dark witch." Her thoughts were filled with the need of power. "James help me please." She is not going to drift away. It is hard not to smell the power.
"He can't help you now." She needed power. Before she knew it she started sucking out Sams power.
"I'm sorry Sam."
"Why are you sorry."
Sam smiled, for she knew that if Calla took her energy, the good energy she stole, would battle the dark inside Calla, and like its nature, would defeat it. For star energy is the most powerful of all magic and energies. "It's ok Calla, I'm ready. I know what I'm doing." Sam opened her extra reserves of energy she had hidden all those years, with that much good energy inside Calla, the dark energy would be consumed and defeated. With all her power available for taking, Sam knew she would not survive. She took a deep breath and let it go, sighing as the last of it left her. She knew it was the only way that would get Calla back to normal permanently, for sure. So she was willing to die doing it.
The light left her and she fell from the sky, crumpling against the ground.
James ran over to Sam and sheilded her, hoping to protect her in some way. He watched as the light entered Calla's body. He knew good magic was stronger than dark magic. Calla just had to gain control of it.
"Sam no."She saw Sam was falling the ground. "Look what you did.""What I did your doing that."
"Stop. I said let go of me." Her eyes were blue. Her aunt went flying and crashed. She went to look and she was gone. She ran over to Sam. "Stay awake." This was her only friend.
Sam wheezed and opened her eyes a crack, "You're ok!" She whispered, trying to smile. She gasped, "You have my energy now, so I have nothing left to live on." She said, her lungs rattling as she tried to breath, "Use it well." She said, a sigh escaping her lips as her eyes closed. She relaxed against the ground. James stared in shock. Sam had just... died! She was dead! She died for her friend! He didn't think witches were capable of that kind of sacrifice, that devotion to a friend. He bowed his head, she had been a better person than he was.
"No." She was shaking. She wasn't suppose to die. She closed her eyes. She gave her most of her power back. "Please work." She was doing the the spell her mom taught her. The one that brings people back from death. The trick is it has to be less than three minutes and it was. She was using all of Sams power to heal her. "Ah James you might want to calm Calla down."
James lay a hand on Calla's shoulder, "I don't think there is anything we can do, its too late." He said sadly.Sam blinked her eyes and gasped, her empty lungs sucking in air, "Too late for what?" She whispered, smiling weakly.
"It work." Calla felt relived. "I'm so sorry. " She should leave.James didn't like her any more. "I should go.Danny was glad Sam didn't die. He didn't say anything though.
Sam sat up, "Are you kidding?" She asked. She felt hurt. After she had just died to save Calla's life, she wanted to leave? "You can't go." She insisted, "You're more vulnerable on your own, and we need to get to the mountains together."James nodded, Calla couldn't just leave now. She admitted that she liked him! And he was beginning to like her... "Come with us to the mountains Calla." He said.
"I hurt too many people." This is why she blocked all of her feelings out. "I could of been lost this time." She was still shaken up.Danny felt sad for her. She had everything she ever wanted and she is going to throw it away.
"And if you were on your own, you would have been." Sam said. "Don't you see? You need us, and we need you! You survived, you are good. If you go on your own, your aunt will find you, and you wont be able to stop her. Don't throw what you have away." She pleaded.James couldn't believe his ears. She claimed she loved him, and yet she didn't want to be near him. He was so confused, "Please Calla, don't go." He said softly.
She didn't know what to do. She heard James words. It sounded like music. She wanted to run up to him."I don't want to hurt anyone." She thought running would solve her problems. That's what they do most of the time. "How do we know we can trust you?"
"Shutup" Storm clouds starting to form in the distance."See my powers get stronger with my emotions."
"James you should clam the poor witch down." He met every word he said.
The storm clouds were coming faster.
Sam turned on Danny, "Why do you have to be such a jerk?" She asked. This kid was getting on her nerves, all he did was stir up trouble the second they had solved it. "If you want to know how you can trust her, why don't you try it and see what happens? Hmm?" James didn't stop her harsh assault at Danny, because he agreed with some of what she was saying, even if she was mean about it. He turned to Danny and pleaded silently with him to keep quiet. Sam turned to Calla, "You need to get control of your emotions." She said honestly, "Don't let them rule you."
She laid a hand on her arm, "I'm not scared of you hurting me." She said. "Will you please come with us? Running away will not help anything."
"I can't. Ever since me almost turning dark my emotions have been out of control." One little think that makes her mad will cause a storm. "I will go. Because I have too.""Because you have too? No one is making you come along."
"No." Sam agreed, "No one is making you come along. But I really want you to." She said, "You're worried about hurting us, and yet you will go where there is a hundred percent chance of you turning all evil and hurting us more... where is the logic in that?" She asked, smiling a little. "Come-on Calla, do I smell or something? Why are you so against coming with us? I told you I could handle it if you got out of control again. I did it once... remember?" She rolled her eyes, "Do me this favor, or so help me I will knock you out and drag you with us." She joked. "Besides," She whispered, "James here looks like he's on the verge of asking you out."
She blushed at the mention of James. "I said I was coming." She dropped then subject quickly. She blinked in her outfit. She loved her bright neon green leather jacket with her pink shirt. She also love her black skinny jeans with her black boots. She let her hair flow flawlessly. "Ready." She smiled. Danny didn't like the idea of Calla coming along.
Sam grinned, "There's the girl I used to know." She pointed to the mountains, "Ok, lets hustle people, we've only got a couple of hours of daylight left, and a looong way to go." She began marching decidedly in the direction of the mountains.James jaw slide open, but he quickly slammed it shut. He couldn't peel his eyes off Calla. She had changed dress so quickly it was astonishing, with the new look, she looked almost human. He grinned, wow she's cute.
Sam seemed in a hurry. She was ready to get this over with. She didn't mind the company. She walked in front of James. She got what she wanted out of him. The jaw dropping was perfect. "So James I'm not using you. You know that right." She stopped in front of him. "Because I'm not a using type of person, but using is no challenge." She let a small grin come on her face."So where are exactly are we?" He was going to try to restart fresh.
James grinned. She was flirting! "Yeah," He said, "I know." He flashed her a smile, "But you'll find I'm not the easiest person to 'use'." He did air quotes with his hands around the word 'use'.Sam realized that Danny had asked the question. Was he opening up that hard shell of suspicion around him finally? She wondered. "We're in the Attatica valley, just East of the Attatican Mountains." She replied. "The city of Arean is just to our right, about 10 miles give or take a little." She looked at the mountains longingly, "But up in those mountains, we'll be safe."
"I heard that one before, by my ex boyfriend." She couldn't wait to see his expression. This is going to be so funny. "Oh. Are we going to find somewhere safe to stay?" He didn't want to run into no evil witches.
James laughed, he knew the game she was playing. But he was good at it too, "And I heard that one before... from two of my ex girlfriends." He said. Smiling, and waggling his brows. "So what is it you witches do? Have any past times? Hobbies?""Yes." Sam answered him, "I have only been there once with my father..." She looked down for a moment, and then shook her head, "But we will be perfectly safe there."
Oh he was good too, but she was better. She walked up to Danny. She leaned forward and kissed him and walked away. She was waiting for a jealous reaction. Whatever sick game they were playing he didn't want to be involve.
Sam looked over and raised a brow, in a 'oh no she did'nt' kind of way.James frowned, regardless of the sudden urge to laugh. He ran over to Calla and shoved her playfully, "What was that for?" He asked.
"I agree with the witch." Danny said with a smirk.
"That witch has a name."Calla was getting really bad at Danny.
