Once Upon A Time and Lara
"Yeah we have to find her." She knew Sam could take care of herself. She reached forward and hugged James. "James she is the only friend I ever had." She was crying into his shoulder.She was leaving."Wait. You feel sad don't you? You want the pain to go away. Don't you?" She said these words soothingly and hypotonic.
James hugged her back. "We can start looking right away. I'm sure she will be able to take care of herself." He promised. "You can ride on Dusk with me. We can go to find her now."Sam paused Arae, and turned. What she said was true. The women's voice was soothing. "Yes." She said. watching as the witch grew closer.
"Ok." She hopped on Dusk with James. "James it isn't my fault right?" She felt a pang of guilt inside her.She eyed Maria. "You know what. I saw your power back there the last time we meant. They should of respected you more. You heard and saw how Danny treated you." Her voice was gentle. "I know a way to for you to forget about them." She looked up and gave her a smile.
Dusk took off into the sky. "No, of course not." James said. "You weren't even there." He felt angry towards Danny for whatever he did to make Sam run away. Sam felt sad at her words. She did remember how Danny treated her. She wanted to be respected. Calla was a queen, and James and her were happy together. She, she was a no body. The witch was offering her a way to forget. "How?" She asked, "How can I forget?"
"Do you think Danny did something?" She asked him. "Come to me. I can show you how to forget if you come to me. This will teach them to show you respect. Don't they always jump right away when Calla is hurt or something goes wrong with her. But how about you? You have feelings too." She still had her hypnotic tone in her voice. She smiled at this girl.
James shook his head, "He must have. Why else would she run like that?" He frowned, "If he did..." His voice ended in a low growl. Danny was going to get it if he caused this. Sam moved closer. Yes. What this women was saying was true! She moved closer and closer until she could reach out and arm and touch the witch. Sam didn't think. She just knew that she felt sad. And she wanted to forget. "Make me forget." She said.
"I don't know." She didn't want to lose a friend. She saw a black cloud ahead. Were they too late?"Ok." She touched her. Blackness cover eyes."It will feel like something is inside you. Don't fight. Let it make you forget the pain that they caused you. Remember how Danny treated you and how they are always worried for Calla. This will make you forget it." Her voice was so soothing. She eyed Marie. To hold her.
James spotted the cloud and urged Dusk faster. Please don't be too late...Sam felt it. The darkness. It was cold, but it let her slip away. It let her forget. She felt anger. Anger towards Calla, James and Danny. Anger that they never appreciated her, anger that they didn't like her. The blackness spread over her body, and then over Arae as well, for a dragon and rider are connected. Sam did not move her eyes away from the witch. She stayed there, staring, as the darkness filled her.
Calla couldn't look. She hurried her head into James shirt."Please tell me it is not too late."She kept giving her darkness."How do you feel? It makes you forget doesn't it. You like this feeling don't you?"
They were getting closer, and James could just make out two figures in the distance. And was that, a black dragon?!? What happened to Arae? "Uh, Calla, I think you may want to look." He said. He wasn't sure what was going on."Yes." Sam said. The darkness filled her completely. She was dark. She liked the feeling. "Yes I do like it." It let her forget. Now people would respect her.
"I can't I'm afraid." She whispered. She didn't want to see what her aunt was doing to Sam. She couldn't bare to look."You want more don't you?The only way to get more of that feeling is to turn someone or take their power." She smiled her job was almost completed."Calla is coming. What are going to do?"
Sam smiled, "I will turn Calla." She said defiantly. She had power coursing through her veins, and the black magic strengthened it. She would be unstoppable now. She would get the respect she deserved. She turned the now black Arae towards the two figures in the distance.James gasped, recognizing Sam. But she was... no that's not possible! She was black! "Calla. I can't fight dark witches, you are going to need to help out here. I seriously don't know what to do." He knew Sam was powerful before, and now, even more so. He was scared, he wanted to go back, but he knew how much Calla cared for Sam, so he stayed with her.
She looked out of James shirt. Her face went pale. It can't be. She was dark. She can't fight a dark witch. She can't hurt her friend. "James I." She was speechless."When your done with her. Bring her and the boy to me please. Then you can seek your revenge on Danny." She looked up with the satisfied work she completed."You know where to find me." Then she was gone.
James turned to Calla, "Can't you turn her back or something?" Sam and Arae were drawing closer. His eyes grew wide, "Calla! Do something! Tie her up and bring her back with us if you have to! Just do something!"Sam drew closer and closer. She needed to forget. Remembering hurt too much. She would turn Calla. Then she would feel better. She and Calla could be dark witches together. Yes. Then she would get respect. She drew closer and closer, ready to attack....
"James I can't do anything. Without going over board or hurting her." She had to get pass this fear. This person wasn't her friend. She blinked into her slick leather suit. She unsheathed her sword."James stick by me we are powerful together even if you don't have your powers."
"Sure thing." James said, sticking to her as close as possible. He was scared. How would they turn Sam back without killing her?Sam reached them and Arae bit into Dusk's neck. While the dragons battled, Sam flew over and pulled out a sword. "I wanted to be your friend Calla." She said sadly, "I came to show you how good it feels to forget the wrong others did to you. You could forget about the pain. The pain of who you are, the pain of your parents dying." She looked sadly at Calla, "But you pull out your sword instead. I guess I always knew you didn't really want to be my friend." She said. Then the anger came again. It was so powerful. It made her tremble. She swung her sword with all her might.
"Sam I am your friend." She decide to let her power consume her."I'm good. I will never be like you or my aunt." Storms clouds form in the distance. Her eyes turned a pure white. "I am more powerful than I will stop you." She was in front of James. Nothing was going to get in her way.
Sam shook her head, "No you are not. You never were. I tried to be your friend. Even died for you. And how did you repay me?" The darkness in her was telling her to say these things. She called on the storm winds to help her. A tempest brewed above her, lightening striking all around. Sam spread her arms. Soaking up the power from the lightening. She began to glow like she would when she was good, but this time, it was a black glow. "Join me Calla!" She shouted. She controlled the lightening. She could strike it down on them at any time.
"I repaid you. I give you your power back. " She concentrated and slowly the storm started to diminish. She picture lightness in Sam. She put lightness in her."I'm not going to join." What is stopping her from attacking?
Sam cried out in pain as the lightness entered her. The storm was gone. She was no longer completely dark. But it was painful. She clutched her stomach. It burned. The darkness, it wanted to get rid of the light, but it couldn't. Sam wanted to rip off whatever was making her hurt like this. She screamed and fell back against Arae. She couldn't control it. She remembered everything, and it hurt, adding to her pain. She remembered that being good was good. And she remembered the being all dark was bad, but it felt good. This half and half was even worse. She wanted to die. Anything to make the pain stop. She screamed again, holding her stomach.
"You see. I'm more powerful than you when your dark. You feel that. You want that gone don't you?" She kept putting the light into her. It felt good to use her powers. "The only way for you to gain that feeling back is to turn me. That will never happen." She poured lightness into her. Fire started to crackle in the sky.
Sam writhed. It burned. The light. It was coming back. It was fighting the darkness. She remembered what she had told Calla about a dark witch getting the powers of a starlighter... they would melt. Sam was worried. What if that happened to her? Sam gasped, it felt like a beast was tearing at her insides. She wanted it to stop. She didn't care if she was bad or good any more. She didn't care if she died. She just wanted it to stop. "Help me." She gasped, rolling around on Arae's back, crying out in pain. She rolled to the edge of her wings, and dropped off. She couldn't fly. She couldn't do anything. She just wanted it to end. It hurt so bad. I must be melting She thought, as she fell towards the ground.
She command Dusk to get Sam. They got her before she hit the ground. "It will hurt. The darkness is almost gone." She put her hands on Sam. She let light pour into her friend. Where did she get all this power? She felt weak. She had to continue.
Sam couldn't see any more. Red spots from the pain clouded her vision. She felt someone lay their hands on her. And then more pain. She arched her back, gasping hard to try and breath. She reached for something to hold onto. Something to grip. She wanted it to end. Why was she not dead? The starlighter energy inside her was fighting back, and so was this new energy, the one that Calla was putting in her. The darkness was retreating, but it wasn't going without a fight. Sam screamed again, her throat raw. She could feel herself passing out from the pain. The world was spinning around her. Why was it spinning?
"James I can't do it." She felt like she was going to pass out from exhaustion. "It will be ok Sam." She poured all the light and goodness in her. As much as she could give. "Sam come on fight it. Your good."
James just watched all that was happening. "You can do it." He said, steadying her as she finished putting light into Sam. The world stopped spinning. Arae was white again, and not black. Sam could feel the last bit of darkness in her. She killed it with all she had. She remembered everything now. Guilt filled her like a storm. "I have disgraced my people." She said sadly. She gave all the energy that Calla had given her back, and then sat down on Arae's neck. "I am not fit to be here any longer." She said sadly. Danny didn't like her, and now she had just been a dark witch. She didn't belong her any more. "I must go."
"No your not going." The world was spinning. She felt like the world came falling. She hit the ground. She passed out. She used way to much of her power.
James caught Calla in his arms and sat her down in front of him. Sam turned. She gave back Calla's powers. Letting her light flow back into her. "There, now you will by fine. I'm sorry. But I must go. I am a disgrace, and a danger to you all." She said sadly. Plus, Danny didn't want her there. She was too ashamed to be with them any longer.
She couldn't open her eyes."James is world spinning?" She couldn't speak anymore. Sam gave her , her powers back. Why was she so weak?"Don't go. Please." Then she blacked out.
James shook his head. "No, the world isn't spinning." He said. "I'm not going anywhere."Sam and Arae had started to fly away again. Sam didn't want to go, not really, but they didn't want her to stay, so she was leaving.
James looked up, "Sam, you have to stay. Calla needs you."
"No-one needs me." Sam told him. "Not anymore."
"How are we supposed to rule on our own?"
Sam smiled, "Exactly how you just said.... on your own."
James shook his head, "No, Calla is powerful, but you are powerful as well. We need all the help we can get. Please stay?"
"It's funny how you're the only one asking me to stay, and you already have a girlfriend."
James nodded, "That's just it, I'm doing it for Calla and you, not myself."
They need us. Arae suddenly said. We are a strong team, because we are the only dragon and riders who have been working together so far. Sam nodded, persuaded by Arae and not James. "I will go back with you to make sure Calla is ok. If she is, we will leave."
Calla could hear people talking but she didn't know who they were. "Please don't go Sam." It hurt. Something went wrong. She screamed."It hurts James." She didn't know what she did to get hurt.
James looked down at Calla. She did not look good. Dusk and Arae were flying as fast as they could towards their stronghold,"Hang in there Calla." He said. "What is wrong?" Sam asked. She was worried. Would all of her mistakes cause her friend to die now too? She had given back all of her powers, so what was wrong now?
She felt her body going limp. She felt so cold."James I'm cold." She winced at the pain. She was slowly closing her eyes. Her power was fading. She had to stay awake.
They arrived at the Flahendiel again, and flew over the walls. James lowered dusk into the front door, flying low through the hallways, and finally landing in the great main chamber. Sam followed closely behind, and they all slid off their dragons.
James lay Calla on the ground, and Sam, Dusk and Arae came over to see what was happening. What is wrong with the young witch? Arae asked Sam. "I do not know." Sam answered. "I really do not know."
James looked down at Calla. Dusk put his head next to him and nudged him gently. Will she be ok? He asked. James nodded, "Yes, she is a strong girl." He turned to Calla, "Listen, you have to tell us what is wrong if you want us to help you." He said.
Danny saw that Sam returned. He was so glad that she was ok. Then he saw Calla. She looked awful. "Sam are you ok." He was worried about her."James my power is fading. If feels like hunter poison. I wasn't near no hunter poison since I got shot." She winced. Her body wasn't moving. She screamed in agony.
"The poison?" Sam repeated. Could it be back since she gave me her energy? "Arae, now is your time to prove yourself." She said, laying a hand on her dragon's head. Arae spurted smoke from her nose, I don't know if I could do something like that yet. Sam shook her head, "I know you can. You must. For Calla, and for me. I am too weak still to do it myself."
Arae dipped her head, snaking her neck towards Calla. she touched her nose to Calla's forehead and closed her eyes, concentrating.
James watched as the dragon touched Calla. He knew dragons had more powerful magic than humans, but dragons were unpredictable. He wasn't sure if it would work. But he really hoped it would.
"It hurts James." She felt her body still limp. She knew Arae could help her. She felt cold. She felt her power slowly start to come back."Don't go Sam." She was begging her. She didn't know what was happening. "Sam did you hear me are you ok?" He really need to work things out with her.
Sam didn't want to look at Danny right now. She kept watching Arae, but she nodded, "I'm fine." She said simply. James nodded, "I know it does. But Arae can fix you." He said softly. "It'll be ok."
Arae's eyes glowed white, and she kept her nose touching Calla's forehead. It is almost done. She told Sam.
"James is it over?" She felt better,but it still hurt. The dragons magic was through her body. She gasped for air. "Sam we need to talk." He wasn't going to let her go from him again.
"Yes." James said as she sat up, "Yes it is. You hungry? Or thirsty? or tired? We could go to the kitchen if you wanted, or I could bring you to a bedroom." He offered. He wanted to help her somehow. Arae sat back in satisfaction. She had done something right! Sam turned to Danny. What was he doing now? "Sure." She said. "About what." She still was not happy with him.
"I'm tired." She hoped he will carry her to a room. She yawned."Can you take me to a room?"I'm sorry, I really do like you. This dragon was just getting on my nerves." He pointed to Spot. He wanted her to forgive him.
James swept her off her feet, "Of course, m'lady." He said, twirling around once before leaving into the tunnels, Dusk trailing behind them. Sam's stomach knotted up. They were alone, and he had just said... wow! He just said... Heat rose into her face. Did he really just say he liked me? She wondered.
Yes he did. Arae answered, amused. She could hear Sam's thoughts.
Sam looked down, embarrassed. She didn't know what to say, "I forgive you." She said quietly, "And I'm sorry for running away."
She let out a weak laughter. She rested her head on his shoulder. The gently walking of his feet was like a lullaby. She closed her eyes. She fell asleep. She didn't know if was night or day."Goodnight James." Then she fell into a deep sleep."I'm sorry for treating you badly." He smiled. "I don't really know how to talk to people that much." He quickly looked at the ground.
James smiled down at Calla. She had fallen asleep in his arms. He carried her to a room, where he lay her down on the bed. Gently, he covered the blanket over her and brushed a piece of hair from her face. "Goodnight Calla."He just admitted something honestly! He wasn't making excuses, he wasn't fighting, he wasn't saying mean things! He was being honest! Sam lay a hand on his arm, he skin tingling, "It's ok." She said quietly. Lifting his chin with her finger so she could look into his eyes, she said, "Let's start again?"
"Yeah." He smiled. "Let's start again."Your in love. He heard Spot. He was soaking in the moment. His face was a bright red.
Sam looked down and then back at him. She was debating whether or not to... Just kiss him. Arae said, laughing. Sam smiled and looked up at Danny, leaning towards him...
She wanted him to kiss her. He leaned forward and their lips touched. He liked it was the sweetest thing he ever tasted. He slowly put his hands behind her head. He pushed her closer to him. Their bodies were so close.
Sam could feel a fire igniting inside her. It was warm, and inviting. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and leaned against him, her whole body tingling because they were so close. She pulled away from him, looking into his eyes, "I've been waiting a long time to do that."James whistled from the doorway. Sam hadn't known he was watching. She blushed bright red.
Danny was looking at her."I have to since you kissed me the first time." He heard James whistle. His face was beat red. He didn't pay attenion. "Your cuter when you blushed." He told her with a playful voice. He didn't go back kissing her. He just stared in her eyes. She was so beauitiful. How could he not notice it before?
Sam glared at the woman. She was evil. "Yes. Who wants to know." She asked. She mentally told Arae to change her flight pattern and leave the witches. They spun and flew away. Arae flapping as hard as she could. But the witches could fly too, and they were gaining...
