A.B.I.G.A.I.L.
…Because you mean a lot to me…
Abigail stared at Krystal and Blake. They were friends, and Blake had no powers, but they would both do anything for each other. Is that what love feels like? Unending loyalty to each other? I thought. The two of them looked like they could pass for twins, with the looks in their eyes and the way they acted.
I stared at Harmony in surprise. How had she not been affected by the spell? And Hope, Faith and Destiny, too? I thought in wonder. Then I noticed Samantha stir, and I realised that none of the girls had been frozen. I turned to see what Krystal would do with the monsters, and she had a look of worry in her eyes.
“You guys, please leave. We’ll deal with this some other time, but can you leave for now?” She pleaded.
…When you cry, I’ll cry…
“And also, please unfreeze my friends.” Blake added.
The monsters group-huddled and talked in a low raspy voice for a few moments. Then the lighter green one, who had been harmed by Krystal, turned around and started talking.
“We will not meet your demands, both you and your friend’s.” He growled. “You will fight us to the death. The winner will get their wishes.”
…When you laugh, I’ll laugh…
Blake and Krystal stared at each other, too shocked to reply. Then, Krystal turned around to face us. “So…what do you guys think?” She asked. “Personally, I would’ve preferred if this didn’t have to escalate into a fight. But I will gladly fight them.” She added.
Tanya looked down at her feet. “I don’t wanna fight.” She said softly.
“Tanya, would you want us to lose all of our friends? All of the guys you were such great friends with? Would you not want to fight this battle for them?” Krystal asked.
Tanya hesitated for a moment. “Yeah, but I don’t wanna fight to the death” She said. “I don’t wanna die!” She said.
…When you jump out of a window, I’ll laugh again…
Nessa thought for a second, like she was convinced by Tanya’s argument. “But there’s four of us and four of them. It seems fair, doesn’t it?”
Blake quickly jumped into the argument. “Hey! I’m here, too!” He protested.
“Yeah, but you don’t have any powers, you’re like an ordinary human.” Krystal argued.
Blake sighed. “But I’ll do all that I can to help!” He said.
Krystal nodded. “But don’t get yourself killed.” She murmured.
“Yeah! Because Krystal’ll never forgive herself for it!” I added nastily. Krystal shot me a glare. I immediately regretted saying that. She was technically our leader, and it was really bad to insult her.
Blake nodded, ignoring my nasty comment. Whether or not he heard it, I’m not sure. I just know that it was smart to pretend that he didn’t hear it. “Alright. I’ll try not getting myself killed.” He smiled.
Krystal shot him a glare, too. “I wasn’t kidding, Blake. You saw what would’ve happened to Harmony had I not interfered.” She sighed worriedly.
Blake dipped his head. “Okay, I understand.” He answered.
I nodded. “I’m fighting. The guys are some of the only things amusing left in the school.” I said.
Krystal grinned. “Okay, majority rules. We are fighting!” She said proudly. “But, before that, Samantha, you evacuate all the girls.” She ordered. Samantha nodded and started evacuating all of the remaining girls.
“Alright, you monsters. Deal’s on.” Krystal growled. “We’ll play fair. No calling on other people to help, and no running away. Also, no destroying this place. We need to keep this place in one piece.” She said.
“Alright. Deal’s on.” The blue monster huffed.
S.A.M.A.N.T.H.A.
…But I just can’t make you love me…
Sam stood still as she watched the battle unfold. The other girls had evacuated, but she stood her ground to watch.
“Come on, Sam. You don’t want to get caught up in that.” Stella said.
“No, I’m staying. You leave. These guys are my friends.” I said, unmoving.
“Okay…your loss.” She said.
…And it burns my heart that you don’t feel the flame…
I saw as the fight had started, and Krystal was forcing the monsters back with ease. I don’t think the monsters are actually trying…they’re toying with her to make her waste her strength. I thought. Then I saw Krystal’s eyes glimmer. She wasn’t trying very hard, either! I realised. Maybe they girls (And Blake) did have a chance! I thought, noticing Blake. His eyes were glittering with satisfaction as he threw one punch after another. It didn’t seem like he was going to penetrate the layer of skin, but he looked happy with the results he was getting. Faster than I normally ran, I raced into the staff room and looked for a knife. As soon as I found one, I grabbed it by the handle and raced back into the gym. Screaming at Blake, I quickly threw him the knife.
Krystal leapt up in his place. Catching the blade with the handle, she handed it over to Blake.
…No I just can’t make you love me…
“Try stabbing. It should—“ She was cut off abruptly by a blow from the monster. She flew back towards the wall and landed with a sickening thud.
“Krystal!” Blake shrieked. The look on his face revealed his feelings. This is all my fault! His eyes clouded with worry as he headed towards Krystal. He handed the knife to me and said. “Here, you deal with them. I’ll tend to her.”
…So hold me like you mean it, and I’ll pretend you feel it…
Nodding to Blake, I grabbed the knife and headed towards the monsters, where Tanya, Abby and Nessa were fighting.
“Sam?” Tanya asked as I approached them.
“Yeah.” I nodded as I stabbed one monster after another.
“Where are Krystal and Blake?” Abby asked.
I nodded behind me, where Blake was trying to wake Krystal up. “Back there.”
“What happened? I swear she was never down for a minute.” Nessa put in.
“Yeah, and Blake was trying really hard to do something.” Abby smirked.
Of all times! I thought. Why would she mention the two of them while our lives were at stake?
Continuing our attack on the monsters, I finally heard a voice behind me. “She’s waking
up!” Blake called.
I threw my knife at the blue monster. “Don’t come any closer!” I called, realising that I was equipping it. “Krystal, can you hear me?” I asked worriedly.
…One last time…
K.R.Y.S.T.A.L.
…I’d tell you my biggest secret…
I shook my head in wonder. Where was I? I wondered. As the lights cleared my head, I noticed the gym and remembered everything. I got up and my legs collapsed, causing me to fall down. Hearing a grunt of amusement from Blake, I stopped trying to get up.
“Don’t get yourself killed, huh?”
“Don’t’ start on me now. It’s bad enough with just the wound.” I growled as I winced in pain from the injury. There was no blood, but there was bruising and it hurt.
Hearing a grunt of anger from the monsters. I slowly managed to get up, avoiding the pain in my shoulder and leaning on Blake. I heard another growl, and a flash of light shined through the gym.
…but would it be a secret anymore?…
Looking up again, I noticed the monsters growl and run away. “Retreat!” they growled. I breathed a sigh of relief. At least our school would be safe—for another day, at least. Before they left, I noticed a flash of blue and a gasp of shock from Blake. Then, within seconds, I saw Blake disappear.
“Blake!” I screeched. “NOO!”
I collapsed on the ground and started crying.
…I search for the one I am missing…I sighed. It was the third day that Blake had been gone, and there was still no sign of him. Maybe there really is no hope of finding him… I thought distractedly.
Stop that! Blake’s still alive and you know it! As long as there’s no proof of his death, there’s always that tiny flicker of hope! A voice inside my head retaliated.
“Still thinking about Blake? Don’t worry about him. He’s gone. Out of sight, out of mind. You know that, don’t you?” Abby said, breaking me out of my thoughts.
“Shaddup! You’ve probably never really loved anyone, anyways. What would you know? Blake meant something to Krystal and seeing him be kidnapped without being able to do anything hurts her more than you think, ya know?” Sam growled.
“I know, but this is going way to far. Krystal’s been so distracted recently, she’s failing her tests, not finishing homework, she won’t even log on Gmail to talk anymore!” Abby complained.
…Because he holds a part of who I am…
“Just leave me alone!” I hissed distractedly. “I miss Blake, and wherever he is, he probably knows that, too!”
“Wow…I didn’t need that scolding.” Abby countered.
“Abby! Just stop it and leave me alone!” I said, eyes brimming with tears. Sighing, I raced out of the gym/cafeteria and into the girls’ washroom.
In the washroom, I let the tears flow. I miss Blake, and I need him back. He was the only person encouraging me in my studies and during recess…I just can’t take it anymore! I thought.
Walking outside and onto the field, I saw a figure in the sky. I blinked repeatedly to clear the tears out of my eyes. Blake?
“Hello, Krystal!” Blake said cheerfully.
“Blake!” I cried as I ran up to him.
“Whoa, Krystal…didja miss me?”
“Duh!” I called as I held him close. I looked up to see the look on his face and I saw that he was smirking. Something’s up…Blake doesn’t smirk…I thought. Then I whipped around to see the blue monster from earlier standing on Stupid Rock. “What do you want now?” I growled.
“Nothing. I just thought it’d be nice to see you guys reunite…” it growled.
G.R.O.R.R.G.
…Betrayal and hopelessness…
…For the last time of your lives… I smirked as I watched the two kids reunite.
“Girl, you know that the boy makes a great test subject!” I smiled.
“WHAT?!” I watched anger and fury twist up her face.
The boy, Blake, flinched as she growled.
“Yes. The boy possesses spirit, just the spirit we needed for the phoenix spirit.”
“You. Used. Him. As. A. Test. Subject?” the mixture of anger and fury was still on her face. “How could you do this to me?” She sobbed.
“Krystal—I…I didn’t know a thing, I promise!” Blake tried.
…Merge together to become a girl’s worst nightmare…
With a smirk on my face, I unleashed a bright orange aura around the boy and watched him twist in pain.
“Krystal—help!” He forced out.
“Blake! I don’t know what I can do to help you!”
“Just—do something! Stop--the pain! It’s burning through my veins like fire!” He complained.
“Blake! I don’t want to hurt you!” She shrieked.
“Just do it, if it works!” He growled.
Krystal nodded. “Fine. Frostbite Blade!” She said as she unleashed her blade. “Ice Aura!”
I turned to see Blake’s reaction. He sighed. “That’s a bit better. Thanks Krystal.”
He had stopped shaking, and he looked content with what Krystal had done.
Dangit! I growled, “This isn’t over, girl!”
“Oh yeah, you stay away from Blake!” She retorted.
“You wish, girl!” I growled, grabbing Blake and jumping up.
“Oh, no you don’t!” She growled, leaping up with me.
Hmph. Annoying pest… I thought. “Get away!”
When all is gone
When all hope fades
When the last memory fades
All that remains
Is the Silenced Echoes of my life.Dream Avi!
Help me please?
