Once Upon A Time and Lara
James smiled, he wasn't sure what to say, then he decided, "I think I may like you to.""Aw, but mr. tree said..." She laughed. He was just too funny when he was angry. "Look, you want to try and be a little less pessimistic? Its like you've got a permanent rain cloud over your head." She scanned the horizon, the sun was just starting to set. She walked towards a small over hang and made a fire appear. Plopping down beside it, she rubbed her hands together and sighed.
"You think, I guess I'm going to have to convince you." Her voice was filled with laughter. She wanted a nice kiss again. One that wouldn't be interrupted by bad guys trying to take over the world. She squeezed him tighter.She could stand here forever."Whatever." He walked up and sat down by the fire."Ok I'm sorry for being rude." This was as best as she will get from him.
James paused, and then leaned in. He decided he would rather be with Calla, then hunting witches on his own. He kissed her gently, his hand moving to the back of her neck."Oh, my, gosh!" Sam exclaimed, "Did anyone else hear that? Was that recorded or something?" She grinned. "For the record, I like you better when you're not mad."
It was a sweet kiss. She prayed nothing would disturb her and him. Her body felt like it was on fire again. She didn't want to tell him. She put her hands around his neck. She deepened in his kiss."Can't they get a room?" He asked Sam.
James stood there, holding her, relishing in the sweet feeling of it all. He couldn't focus, all his emotions were scrambled. The only thing he was aware of was Calla.Sam chuckled, "Yeah, no kidding." She produced a pot over the fire, and quickly began stirring things into it. "Ugh, I think I'm going to puke if they don't give it up."
She wasn't aware of anything, but him. She felt power from this kiss. She loved it so much. She was in his arms. The snow was slowly falling down on her hair blonde hair. She pushed away from this kiss."You are a professional", she joked."We agreed on something." They really need a room.
James looked down at her, "Awe, thanks." He nodded to the fire and the pot, "I'm hungry. Want to join our friends?""Wow, you're right!" Sam laughed. She dished out the stew she had made into a bowl, "Want some?"
"Ok." She blushed. She didn't want to leave this moment, but she did. "Mmm this smells good." She waited for James to lead."Yeah, I'm hungry." He smiled. "This good." He said as he ate some of it,
James walked over and sat down on a log by the fire. He sniffed the steam rising into the air and sighed, rubbing his stomach, "Boy am I hungry.""Thanks." Sam said, smiling. She dished out another two bowls and handed them to James and Calla before taking some herself.
She sat right next to James. "Thanks." She was nervous about being near the fire. It warmed her. Her body was still felt like it was on fire. She looked away from the fire, but drawn her in again. Her emotions weren't acting up she was drawn to the power and the warmth it gave her. Her eyes were turning a bright color."Your welcome." He notice Calla was distracted. "Earth to Calla." He was waving his hands in his face. She didn't reply.
James took the bowl and began sipping the stew. He looked over at Calla, "Hey, you gonna have some?" He asked. "Hello.....?"Sam looked up from her bowl, "Uhg, not again... Calla? Zoning out now too?" She asked.
She could hear them talking but she couldn't say anything. She was so distracted by the fire. She could feel it coming to her. "Do you guys think it could be the fire?" He asked worried because her and fire didn't go together.
James shook his head, "I don't see why a simply fire would distract her like that...." He said."Well," Sam added, "Fire's are pretty hypnotizing." She grinned, staring into the flames. "But there isn't really anything we can do about it. If we were somewhere warmer, I would blow it out. But I don't really fancy waking up a human popscicle.... so we are going to have to leave it."
Pans needed to look away,but it was controlling her. She wanted to burn something,but what? She didn't know whose thoughts these were,but they weren't hers."Well, shouldn't we at least move away from the fire. I don't want to end up like those trees."Danny wasn't mad he was nervous.
Sam tipped her head, "We may need to move Calla away from the fire. James, could you help me?"James nodded and grabbed Calla under the arms. He picked her up and moved her away from the fire and into the snow. Putting her down again, He stuffed his hands in the snow to help cool them off.
The trance was gone. "Im sorry James. Are you ok?" She saw that he put his hands in the snow. "I don't know what happened." She knew what she needed to do, but it was to dangerous.Danny just stared at her. How could she not know what happened?She was just staring at the fire.
James nodded, "Yeah, just a little burnt, that's all." He looked over, worried, "Are you ok? Is there anyway we can prevent this from happening again?"Sam sighed, glad that epidemic was over, and lay down on her cloak, leaving James and Calla to their quiet conversation. She sighed a bit, thinking about the journey still to come.
"I don't know. It never happened before." She told herself that she should of left. She was nervous. Why did her parents bind her powers in the first place?"Maybe we could figure out why my parents bound my powers. The only person who was there that is alive is my Aunt, but she wouldn't help." She didn't want to hurt anyone. Danny sat there quietly listening to everything that was being said or going on around him. He was worried if the hunters would find them they would get killed, but the witches wouldn't let that happen right?
"Maybe others would know." Sam suddenly said. She couldn't help but over hear them talking. "We will arrive at the place I was talking about tomorrow. I'm sure we could find something there." she said, lying back down, "Others must know why some witches powers were bound."James thought 'yeah, because they cant control them, that's why' silently in his head. "Sounds good." He said lying back, "We'll figure it out."
"Yeah. I have an idea. I know this spell that can take you to a memory that you lived. I would of have to been there for an incident that would of made them bind me." Her powers were out of control. She needed to find out why so she could put a stop to it."That could work." He was trying to be helpful.
"Sure." Sam said. "So, are you going to try it?" She asked."Yeah," James added, "That sounds like a good plan."
"Ok some one would need to come with me." She didn't say why she was afraid of whatever it was that made her parents bind her powers."Also someone would need to watch me and whoever comes with me. No matter whatever I say or do don't wake me up because I could get lost." She hope James would come with her."So by the someone who you want to go with you mean James." He knew she wanted him to come long with her.
"I'll go." James said, "Could we get hurt by your memories? Or will we just be watching them?" He asked, nervous. Why was she so afraid? Was there a chance of dying in a memory? That was ironic...Sam nodded, "I'll watch. What do I do, just sit there? Or should I wake you up at some point? What do I do?"
"No we will be only able to watch them because they were already lived." She turned to Sam."Like I said before don't wake me up. If James wakes up before me don't wake me. I will wake up when the memories of the binding are over. Don't move me either because that could make me wake up from the memory." "James be careful." He didn't like him going off with a witch.
"Ok." James said, relieved, "I'm ready." That wasn't really true, but would he ever be ready?"Got it." Sam added, "Good luck."
"Ok." She took his hand and put up a faint smile. She closed her eyes and thought about the spell. Her eyes turned a misty blue. She didn't know if James was still with her. She closed her eyes and fell backwards into the snow. When she open her eyes she was at a camp. "Are they ok?" He turned and ask Sam.
Sam surveyed the two apparently sleeping forms and nodded, "I think so. We can't wake them, regardless."James looked around in surprise. He was not on the mountains any longer. In fact, he had no idea where he was. However, Calla was still holding his hand.
"When I was little I use to come here trying to leave a normal life." She remember each summer they would roast marshmallows. She was holding tightly holding James hand. She lead him to the campfire. It looks like they were having a campfire. She saw her little self sitting there staring at the fire. Then the whole place burst into flames. She buried her head into James shirt. Tears were coming down her face. "There is more that is all." "Sam she doesn't look ok." Pointing to Calla.
James stared at the inferno surrounding them in shock. Was this what would have happened if they hadn't got her away from the fire in time? Was this girl not able to look at fire at all? "There's more?" He asked.Sam shook her head, "Remember, she said no matter what happens, we can't wake her." She sighed, "Some memories are so sad or scary that they make people look like that." She said, staring down at Calla's petrified face.
"Yeah if there wasn't we would be gone." She said. Then they were at her house. She saw her parents and her aunt. Her aunt said, "She is going dark and no matter what you do you won't be able to stop her. You saw what she did at camp.You saw what she did to those hunters. You can't control her density." Her mom was mad."Yeah how come I'm good and your evil. We already decided to bind her powers." She was shaking. What did she do those hunters?"You can't make her forget everything she did wrong." Her aunt retorted. Tears were coming down her face. "No." She stammered. "James am I evil?""Something bad is going on in there." Callas face was so pale. She was shaking.
James shook his head, he wanted to believe that she wasn't. But she had done something to his kind... something bad. "You aren't evil right now." He said honestly, "But whether or not you were back then, I don't know.""Yes. You're probably right." Sam said, "But it can't hurt them. They will wake up eventually on their own."
"I'm scared." She was shaking. Then they flashed into another place. There was hunters all around them. Her little self was shaking and crying. Her parents were doing the best they could do to fight them off. That stare her eyes were a bright color with a hint of black. Then all the hunters souls were going to her like she did to Sam. "James make it stop please." She wanted out of this now. He heard her yelling that was not good. He looked up at Sam. "I don't think I want to know what is happening in there.
"No." Sam agreed, "I don't either.""I can't this time." James said, "This already happened, and it is not something we can control." He sighed, "Just watch. You wanted to know your past..."
"I don't want to know anymore. Please someone make it stop." She let go of his hand and was on the ground crying. This can't be happening to me. Then they were at a different place this time. She looked around. It was the binding ceremony. Her aunt said,"You guys know she is suppose to be dark so why not embrace it?" Her mom got angry this time."She will not go dark."Her moms brave voice was sure of it."Not if I have anything to do about it." Her aunt was gone. It was gone. She jolted up tears coming to her eyes."It is not true James right?" "What is wrong?" He was curious.
James shook his head, "It is true, Calla, all of this happened. But we each make mistakes in our life. That doesn't mean we let the past define us. People change.""No idea." Sam said honestly. "To tell you the truth, I'm getting kinda bored of just watching them sleep..." She sighed, "Wonder when it'll be over."
"Please James make it be over." She didn't want to be here anymore. She was done she saw what she wanted to see. She closed her eyes tightly. When she open them they were in the mountains again."I'm not right James. I'm not suppose to be what my aunt is right?" She was out of the night mare.Danny saw that they awakened. Calla looked horrible."Should we ask what happen?" He whispered to Sam.
"I don't know." He said softly, shaking his head, "I really don't know.Sam shook her head, "I don't know if I want to know what happened." She whispered back. Slowly backing away from them, she went back to the fire and lay down on her cloak again.
He didn't know. She didn't know."James I'm nothing like her right?" She didn't meant to kill or hurt anything right?"So um guys what did you find out?" He really didn't want to know, but he wouldn't want them to get mad at him.
James shook his head, "No, you aren't anything like her." He agreed. "The difference is that she wants to be evil. But you want to be good."Sam looked over at the fire, her eyes growing heavy. It was late at night now, and she needed rest. Just five minutes. She promised herself, letting her eyes close.
"Yeah I'm good." She leaned forward and buried her head into his shirt. She didn't want to let go. Her powers of those are dark witches. She just won't use them. "Whatever." He found a nice little spot and laid down.
James looked over at her, "Regardless of who or what you were, you can change that. You can take control of your destiny. But for now, lets get some sleep so we can get to that place Sam was talking about tomorrow." He said smiling.
"Ok." Shouldn't someone stay watch. When was the last time she slept? Sleep sounded good to her. "You should go back to the fire so you stay warm."She didn't want him turning into a Popsicle. Danny told himself to stay awake. He closed his eyes and drifted off into a nice sleep.
James didn't argue. He was so tired he didn't even think about the fact that someone should probably stand watch. He just curled up on the ground by the fire and went to sleep.
She laid down there. Her eyes felt like a heavy burden and she closed them. She was off in a dream less sleep.
Something hard was prodding her in the back. Sam shifted and groaned, "Go away!" She said tiredly. It persisted. She opened her eyes to bright morning sunlight, and gasped. They were surrounded. A ring of twenty or more figures surrounded them, each and every one holding a tightly drawn bow. Sam sat up and stared, open mouthed. The figures were neither human nor animal. Their bottom half was the body of a horse, and their upper halves were the bodies of men and women. centaurs! Their ears were strangely pointed, almost horse like, but almost like the elves in the stories. Sam reached out and tapped James with her hand, without moving her eyes from the figures. James woke up and stared. He thought these creatures were of legend! They were all just standing there, pawing the ground with their fore hooves, bows drawn tight. "Um guys..." James said, waking Calla and Danny.
Calla heard James voice awaking her. She open her eyes centaurs impossible. She couldn't use her powers not after what happened. "Hello um what exactly do you guys want. "Trying to sound nice. If she had to she will use her powers. Danny opened his eyes. He stared up in awe. "I'm dreaming right?" Trying to get approval from his friends.
"No, sorry, you're not." Sam whispered back. "What do you want?" Sam repeated.One of the bigger males stepped forwards, "You are in our territory."
James smiled nervously, "Oh, um, sorry. We didn't realize, we shall go in peace."
A smaller foal-kid stepped forwards, just a young boy, "You may not come to our home!" He said defiantly, "If hunters know we live, we will be captured!."
A she-centaur pushed the boy back, "No one may see us and live."
"Not very Hospitable are you?" Sam asked, her eyes beginning to glow, ready to telleport, just in case they needed a quick escape.
The head centaur's eyes widened, "She is a starlighter!" He announced.
There was a collective gasp in the group.
Sam hoped that it would e a good thing, and they wouldn't kill her on the spot.
The head centaur lowered his bow, "You may go free, but the others must die."
"No! Sam shook her head, "They are my friends..." She looked to the others, "Right guys?"
"Yup. Absolutely." James said nervously.
"I know you guys think she is important which she is,but if my friends don't get to my parents won't be happy. They are the leaders of the light witches. I'm next in line and this hunter James he is my other half." She hoped this will change their mind. This is one big lie or at least some of it."I thought." Oh she is good. Playing with them.
Sam laughed nervously, "Was a hunter." She said, hinting to Calla. "These people don't like hunters." She whispered. The head centaur tipped his head, thinking, "A queen witch, and a starlighter, and their friends."
He thought for a moment longer, "Where are you going?"
Sam smiled, "Flahendiel."
The centaur brightened up instantly, "In that case, you may pass. We can transport you up to the gate. but you must swear not to speak of us to anyone."
"On my life." She agreed.
The centaur smiled and put out a hand, Sam took it and he pulled her onto his back. She wrapped her arms around his waist to stay on as he began to move. Other centaurs held out their hands to her friends. James took the hand of a female centaur and was surprised by her strength as she pulled him up. He wrapped his arms around her waist as well to help hold on as she began trotting after the centaur Sam was on.
"Never call me that again." He said bitterly.
