Awakened

Ch 16

***

Clary laughed in amusement as she fired blindly, we were trapped and fire balls hit our sides as we try to run. "Too late!" She laughed as she noticed us trying to escape. I screamed in pain so sharply the walls vibrated when a fire ball hit my right arm. As I held my arm with my left hand, water slowly dripped down my arm sizzling into my burnt one. Slowly slowly, the burn healed. Georgia and I gasped in unison. I didn't know I could do that. I looked up and I saw Clary looking at my wounded arm afraid. Why was she afraid? It then hit me. Water puts out fire, water is stronger than fire! I turned my head slightly and grinned as I reached deep inside me expecting to feel power. And I did*

I jumped up and down in excitement. "You can defeat her!" However, this was just an excuse to cower out, and Clary saw straight through me. She laughed loudly and raised both hands in the air, on pointed at each of us. "Your friend can't help you here..." she fired fireballs at both of us and I immediately knew Afriel couldn't save me. I screeched in fear and a barrier of glistening blue water knitted its way into a bubble, engulfing me as the fireball disintegrated, leaving only ashes. I knew instantly the power was mine. I smile over at Afriel. "You attack... I defend..." *

***

I smiled at Georgia and summoned my powers. Clary started to run, and threw a fireball at us which Georgia easily blocked. I summon my powers and it flew fast and wild to Clary but she blocked it. I threw shots rapidly at her and Georgia defended me from her fire balls as I fired. We were a perfect team and we were ganging up on Clary as she ran firing randomly at us. I was close and ready for my finishing shot. I gathered everything in me. My stomach jumped, my legs arms and hands tingle with power. It felt good. I smiled a huge grin as I shot a massive dangerous water ball at Clary. It went fast and Clary screamed as it engulfed her. Both Georgia and I stopped firing and we walked over to Clary. She was trying to escape the bubble drowning her. Even Though I hated her I felt pity. I stopped the bubble with a flick of my hand and Clary fell to the floor coughing and gasping for breath. She was crying. Her words flew back to me 20 years ago. "You said I will always be the one begging for mercy, now it is mine turn" I said with a strong voice. It felt good to throw the same words she said to me back to her. I walked up to her and she tried to scramble back but I grabbed her by the collar and dragged her to the dungeons.*

I followed Afriel like a puppy and its owner. She threw her in the dungeons and my eyes widened as Clary gained the courage to spread her beautiful, glowing wings. She smirked at me through her tears and suddenly four words bounced through my head. SAVE CLARY, STOP AFRIEL. I turned to Afriel and my arm moved on its own as it punched Afriel bang on the face. She stumbled back and my legs powered through the dungeon as I grabbed Clary and ran out. "CLARY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO GEORGIA!" Afriel screeched. Afriel turned to me. "trust me.." she said before she knocked me out *

***

"Trust me....." I said before knocking Georgia out. Georgia fell straight to the floor making a loud thump. Clary looked at me shocked, she didn't think I had the guts to do that to Georgia. "You really want to play this game again do you?" I asked Clary. "I......um.......i.....i" Was all she said before she ran out the door. I was about to chase after her, but she dropped in front of me. Did she faint? I thought, I then looked up and saw 'Tyler' with a frying pan which now had an indent of Clary's face. I laughed and so did Tyler. I then heard Georgia moan in pain behind me. I turned and fell to my knees cradling her head in my lap. "Shhh, it's okay" I said. "What happened?" Georgia asked. "Shhh" I said again. Behind me, Tyler dragged Clary's body into a magic proof cell. With one glance at the guard Georgia tried to scamper away, but after a close look at him she saw through his disguise. "T.....Tyler?" Georgia asked. "Yes" Tyler said and he went to his knees down next to Georgia holding her. As they were talking I left to give them privacy. As I walked outside, everywhere I looked I had massive deja vu's. The paintings on the walls and furniture as I walked, memories flying at me. I walked into a room and I fell to my knees. There in the corner was a cradle and a bed with white sheets. I walked over to the cradle, inside was a plush brown teddy bear. 'I remember I said to myself'. I had a flashback. I was looking up at my parents who crying and laughing with joy at me. I was in that same cradle. The flashback stopped. I came back to reality. I realised that my cheeks were wet. I slowly reached up and touched my cheeks, I felt...... Tears. *

My mouth chattered on to Tyler as he stared at me in awe. I talked about everything that happened as my head throbbed. I took a deep breath and Tyler's eyes found their way to my back. He gasped as he stared at my ruined wings and I closed my eyes. The words that I wanted to say evaporated and instead I blurted out. "Oh No everything is fine! My best friend found out she is a beautiful princess loved by all and I am her ruined friend who Gabriel and Azrael hate, a Rebellion, useless wings at my back and always need to be saved." The words escaped my mouth before I could stop them. Tyler's eyes bored into mine and I stood up and stared at Clary's fainted body. A single tear fell down my eye and I fell into Tyler's arms. "Take me home!" I sobbed.
