Chapter 12: Long ago

Chelbell2016:

Really sorry about how long it is taking me to update the chapters now. Work is hectic but I have a day or two off and I will update as much as I can.

*Keeper of the powers*

Courtney's POV:

We are all standing in Rootcore. We are having a lesson with Udonna. Maddison is standing with a cloth around her eyes and the rest of us are standing around her. I click my fingers in front of her face to make sure that she cannot see.

"Trust is the key to any team," Udonna tells us as she stands to one side. "In order to trust each other, you must be willing to put your safety in the hands of the team. Are you ready Maddison?"

Maddie sounds a little nervous as she answers. "I think so."

"Slowly fall forward," Udonna tells her. "Your team will catch you."

Bowen and Xander catch her as she falls forward. They then gently push her so she is standing straight again.

"There's a good boy Fireheart," Clare says as she walks in to the room with Fireheart, wrapped in a blanket, in her arms.

The others all run over to Clare except for me and Maddison tries to fall back. I try to stop her but instead we both hit the ground and I hear a crack as my wrist hits the floor.

"Ouch!" I cry out as Maddison gets up and sees why he fallen.

"Oh that's trust for you!" Maddie says and then she looks at me. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah," I say as I heal my wrist and get to my feet. "You know just because I can heal doesn't mean it doesn't hurt!"

The others don't hear me. They are all too busy telling Fireheart how cute he is. Azantys approaches.

"Oh give me a break!" Azantys says.

"You're just jealous," I tell him.

He growls gently but knows that it's true.

The crystal ball suddenly goes off alerting us to trouble. I walk over and then Udonna begins to speak.

"Dark magical entity is emitting from the forest," She informs us.

"We'll check it out!" I tell her.

We head over to the woods and I could sense the dark magic as we went through them.

"It's quiet!" I tell the others.

"Almost too quiet!" Chip says and I roll my eyes. "Sorry. I've always wanted to say that."

Vida stops and I feel the dark energy get bigger.

"I get the feeling...."Vida says and the pauses.

Suddenly another being appears. It had some sort of armour on and it stopped right in front of us.

"Who goes there?" The being asked.

"...Like we're being watched," Vida finishes.

"What brings you children into these dangerous woods?" The man asked.

"Give us a second and we'll show you," I tell him stepping towards him.

We prepare to fight.

We run forwards.

We try and fight him but after a few minutes of no success we step back. Bowen reaches for his ring and the rest of us go for our morphers/

"Wait!" A voice says from behind us and I turn to see Udonna approaching with a smile on her face.
