Eliza (Book 1)

.+* Chapter 15 - Backstab *+.

Celeste's View:
I woke up early and went to Victoria's room. I ripped a page and faced it at her.

* I wish all her power, was mine.

Eliza's magic quickly rushed into me and it felt AMAZING yet overwhelming. I opened a portal and left.

I had the power I wanted and now nobody could take it away from me.

Victoria's View:
I woke up feeling rather refreshed. When I got out of bed, there was a note.

Don't think you're any different from the good guys. I knew eventually, you'd add the finishing touch, taking my magic. Well, you won't have to anymore.

=)

Aurora?! She'd backstabbed me, that little PARASITE. How did I not see this before??

And this is why I hate children.

Celeste's View:
I was playing a nice tune on my flute while waiting for the cupcakes I had baked to cool down when a portal opened. It was Victoria. I stopped playing.

* What do you want.

She looked rather worried to say the least.

* Uhm..-

* Want a cupcake?

* We can have cupcakes later...I've made a big mistake.

Were my ears hearing correctly?

* Oh really? And what might that be?

* Celeste we both know what it is.

* I'm not quite sure what you mean~

She frowned.

* I shouldn't have taken people's magic because now, Aurora's gotten hold of it..

* What do you need me for, then? That's your problem to get out of.

* I need your help to get everybody's magic back to the original owner. She's a child...she won't control it well!

* Hmph.

I put the cupcakes into the container and placed them in the fridge, then turned to face Victoria.

* You owe me BIG time, sis.

She smiled, and I mean the smile she used to give when she was truly happy. It was time we saved our friends!

Eliza's View:
I finished walking around the underground. When I got back to my room, Grim had left a necklace with a note saying 'I hope you like it'. It was pretty sweet but, it's not the material that'll me back...but A for Effort. I baked some cookies, humming so the music from the radio. It took twice as long since I had no magic to assist me.

I took a boat to Grim's lab and entered. Everyone was there... it was nice to see them.

"Oh, hey!" Grim waved at me.
I glanced at him before looking at Corn.

* I brought some cookies for you little cat.
I smiled. The cat rushed over to me, taking the cookies in joy.

* Enjoy it within yourselves.

I was about to leave when-

"Wanna stay here for a bit, Eliza? I mean, New Home is pretty boring." Grim held my hand.

* I'll come later, I promise.

We agreed on just that and I went to the barrier. I sat down to watch the sun set. My mind sounded too silent...it felt so horrible... I missed the annoying voices that would wake me up everyday. I missed using my magic to calm a room down...to watch dreams unfold. It felt so empty that it sort of hurt in a way. I picked a beautiful pink tulip and went on a boat to Waterfall.

I stood in front of Ellie's grave and placed the flower flag, sitting down besides it.

* Hey Ellie, I've missed you so much...

Ellie's View:
I sat on the other side, smiling.

* I've missed you too, Mother..
She sighed.

* Grim wants me back...if you were here...I wonder what you would've told me to do.

I giggled.
* You always said you'd rise and fall together..!

I hugged Eliza, sure she couldn't feel it but, she needed it.

* We promised to rise and fall together..

Her magic was gone but her heart still remained so strong.

* Never stop having a purpose Eliza.

Eliza's View:
I stayed by Ellie's grave, falling asleep against it...

There was no long table.
No Elizas.
No...hints of the future.

Just me.

Aurora's View:
The power felt excellent. I could do anything I wanted!

So you're telling me, her niece took her magic?

Who was speaking?

Yeah, pretty much.

I closed my eyes, and I was around a huge table. There were millions of Elizas, all glaring at me.

* What do you have to say for yourself, Missy.

* I-what?

* You better give Eliza her magic back or we'll torture you so much you find a new definition of hell. =)

* Keep on wishing.

I opened my eyes and opened a portal to Uncle Grim's timeline. Sure...Victoria had made a deal to leave this timeline alone but that was HER, not me~

I opened another portal to the afterlife and walked home. Nothing had changed. I stood outside and my eyes went purple. My parents were going to help me take over what I wanted to be mine.

The house converted with magic as it filled the minds of my parents. They walked outside, their eyes widening to see me.

* Aurora-?! What are you doing?!

They were forced silent as I made them go through the portal.

* Destroy them.

Eliza's View:
I woke up to the sound of people yelling and running. I stood up. They were running away from snow din.

Oh it sucked to not teleport.

I ran towards Grim's house, surely he would've known what was going on.

Celeste's View:
Victoria and I rushed into the lab.

* Dr Grim!

"Hello Celeste, what can I- woah Woah WOAH, what is SHE DOING HERE." He practically growled at Victoria.

I stopped him from attacking her, she looked ashamed, that wasn't a surprise.

* Aurora took Eliza's magic, so my sister had no choice but to come to us.

"I'm not trusting the woman that ruined Eliza's life." He was about to go back into the true lab when I grabbed him.

* We can get her magic back if we all work together.

He nodded, giving a death stare at Victoria.

Eliza's View:
Star and Sofia were blasting at people but they looked miserable. It was clear they were being controlled.

* Aurora, what are you doing to them?!

* Letting them do the dirty work, of course!
She smirked. Her head turned to face me and she tries to get eye contact. I closed my eyes immediately, she was trying to control me.

This was gonna be a hard fight.
