Lost In Your Light

Chapter 13 - Fairies and Angels

Wyatt's POV

Now that Emily gained her powers, we have a chance to stop her from killing me or someone else. I have to stop to call my master 'her'. Her name is Morgana and she's always been the jealous kind of person. Morgana wasn't supposed to be the next eldest but my mother was. My mother.. I miss her even though she is evil like my father. She hasn't always been  that way though. My father was born into a family of weird and crazy wizards, where he had no other choice to be someone else. He never saw something else than using your powers for the wrong. My mother, on the other hand, didn't know that father was crazy unitl I was five. Then she got influenced by him and was fascinated by the things he did. My mother started to teach me since then. Yes, she did try to convince me to follow into their shoes but mother soon noticed I wasn't like them and I'm proud to be who I am now.

To win some time I have to freeze the time, which can be dangerous and could lead to a massive dysfunctionality of the universe or we end up in a time loop. To be honest the time loop would be the worst outcome because I'm still in my learning process of manipulating and controlling time and I'm not close to study how to break such a loop. Awesome right? Whatever, now is not the time to imagine all the 'what if's'.

"What are we going to do first?", Emily asked me.

"I have to freeze the time, so we can keep her captured and can train. There are a lot of risks though.", I answered honestly. I don't and won't tell them what could happen. I just hope nothing changes when the clocks are ticking again or while the time stands still.

"What do you need to stop time?" Tyler asked. I went to my shelves and picked one of the spell books.

"This book is what we need. Please read it and ask me when you don't understand anything."

"Will do.", Tyler answered. He and Emily made themselves comfortable on the couch and started reading. I hope they understand most of it. Explaining everthing takes too much time, which we don't have.

The next thing I have to do is find out which kind of creature Emily is. According to her light powers, are the options more limited. The most likely one is that she's a fairy with the ability to control the light. But I have to test it to be one hundred percent sure.

"Emily, could you come over to me please?", I asked her in the nicest tone I could produce. She looked at me and nodded. She stood up and walked over to me.

"What do you need?", She asked, not even annoyed.

"I need you to do different things, which I will tell you after, to figure out what creature you are. Is that okay with you?"

"Yes it is. I'm actually very excited to find out.", She replied with a wide smile covering her face.

"Great. First, I need you to stand in the middle of the room. I will test if you're a fairy and for that you will transform into one. You won't shrink, you will get wings, a long dress and your hair color could change. You can also change back into human shape without any complications. Focus on the fire between the shelves. Try to make it listen to you."

"How should I do that?"

"Clear your head and focus on the fire. Let it come to you."

Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She streched her arm out into the direction of the fire and her now opened eyes are concentrated on the light. The fire slowly started to move into her direction and soon she held the little flame in her hand.

"Awesome work. Now hold the flame close to your necklace.", I told her but she looked at me concerned.

"Don't worry nothing will happen to it. I promise.", I reassured her. She whispered an 'okay' and did as I told her.

Suddenly, the room lit up brightly, which caused me to cover my eyes with my hands. When it was save to open my eyes again without getting blind I saw Emily as a fairy. As I thought she would be. (The picture above shows Emily in her fairy form.) Even though I don't like girls that way, I have to admit that she looks really beautiful.

"Oh my god!" Emily squealed, which caused Tyler to look up from the book. He didn't care about the bright light because he's used to it.

"Wow, Emily. You look gorgeous. Now I'm the only one who can't do anything special.", Tyler said sadly. I hate it to see him sad, so I tell him what I'm going to do next.

"How far are you with the book?"

"Almost finished."

"Then finish it please. Afterwards, I need you to stop time with me. Emily will read the book in the meantime."

"Why can't I help you to do it?", Emily asked, kinda disappointed.

"The ritual says a wizard and an angel. Sorry Emily.", I explained to her and she mumbled a 'fine' and sat down to read further.

After Tyler finished the book he came over to me and said he's ready for the ceremony. I knew this one by heart because I always wanted to use it. Sadly, it's this fucked up situation where I have to do it. I instructed Tyler what he had to do when I tell him so. To start the ritual, I had to take his hands in mine. I instantly felt the electricity that went through my hands but I had to ignore my feelings for now. I began to speak the first few words of the spell and Tyler repeated them with no problem. This went on for a few more lines until I spoke the final words. After that I opened my eyes and looked at the clock above my door. The second hand of it didn't move anymore. Just in case, I replaced the battery and the hand was still not moving.

There's one thing I didn't tell Tyler, namely that he would finally look like an angel. In my eyes he already did before but now he has wings. I don't know if he noticed but I'll tell him anyway. There are not many angels up there who have wings like this. Most of them got this small ones, where it's impossible to fly, but he can now.

"We did it. We stopped time and additionally, Tyler, you got wings.", I told him with a bright smile on my face. He tuned his head and looked at his newfound wings. First, he looked shocked but soon his lips turned into a wide smile.

"I can't believe it. They are so beautiful.", Tyler said fascinated.

Emily finally realized what was happening and looked up from the book she was currently reading. He opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. Instead she stood up from the couch and embraced her brother in a tight hug.

"Now I feel bad for believing you didn't have anything special."

"Don't worry, I didn't know either."
