The Protectors

Back Off Gemma

We finished our walk and went to sit on the grass a little longer, thinking about what is going on, Maria-Hope put her arm around me to comfort me, i felt safe and cared for, She assured me "we will get your mum back, i will keep you safe but first we need to get our arses off this grass", she paused for a moment with a little smile, and a smile brewing on my face. Maria exclaimed "Right lets go and meet the others" "others?" i replied with surprise. "Follow me", she said with happy excel, she took me to the willow tree in the middle of the feild, with joy she said "welcome home" confused and intreaged i asked "but its a tree, am i supposed to sleep like a monkey?", she giggled, turned to the tree and explained "this is the ancient willow tree, the feild and under it is the safe haven, in here m, there are people who are under a werwolf curse, but will only turn at the command of me or my mum" she reluctantly said "oh and theres" she stopped herself saying whatever she was going to say and positivly continued to say "it's just a magical place" "i'm sure it is" i replied mocking her, but suddenly realising what she said, i asked her "what do you mean under", Maria-Hope closed her eyes, held her palms up to the tree and wispered a language i never heard before, when suddenly the ground sounded as if there was a light earthquake, the floor rumbled and grumbled, and the tree started to open at the trunk to reveal stairs going down into the rootes.

The tree came to a grumbling halt, m Maria started to walk in, she turned to me, and with her radiant smile asked "are you coming?" For some reaseon i just started walking, the trust was just there.

We decended down the stairs, when a thought entered my head, i asked "at the cafe the staff didnt know who you were, although they worked with you the day before" frustrated Maria-Hope put both of her hands on both sides of my head. She told me to close my eyes, i closed my eyes, it was then i felt like i was watching a film in my head on black and white, i saw that Maria-Hope walked into the cafe, she must have used some kind of hypnosis on the staff at the cafe, she looked into their eyes and demanded the supervisor hires her, she used some sort of spell behind the counter before she came to take my order which made me besotted by her, I saw myself finish my coffee, i gave her a little smile as i walked out the door, she watched me leave and walk down the road, she then turned to the staff, again, like a hypnosis state told them to forget her. At the end of the vision i was sucked back to reallity. I opened my eyes and Maria said frustrated "there does that answer your question?" she carried on walking down, i answered under my breath "yeah, ok" and we carried on our decent down to the bottom, it was then we came to a big metal door.

Maria clicked her fingers and the rumble and grumble was heard once more i turned to find the tree closing, and the stairs disappearing, we was stood in total darkness, concerned i asked "what happens now", Maria-Hope put her hand on the join of the two doors, and chanted in that language again, the doors opened, i was amazed at what i was presented with.

Partically deprived of natural light, there was children running around having fun playing football, some were playing tag and others chillin on the floor drawing. I thought i was taken to a school. I looked more and noticed loads of teenagers. We walked through the big metal doors, as we entered the doors closed with a loud slam.

The room went quite and i felt uneasy with the fact everybody stopped what they were doing and stared at me as if i was a wanted criminal. With ergency Maria-Hope told me "stay here" and dragged me out of the little light there was near the opening of a corridor. I watched her as she ran off into the darkness, through the crowd. I nervously waited for Maria-Hope to return, desperate to see her walk back out of the darkness.

Everyone went about their bussiness. I then had a feeling that all the gravity had left my body, i started to float into the air and my bones started to crunch, i was in agonising pain, my bones were cracking 1 by 1. With no control of my own body i started to turn, as i made a 90 degree turn, i saw this beautiful black staight haired woman in a short skirt, shiet and tights, she looked like she had just come from a party. She had some sort of vendetta against me, with her palm pointing up at me, she's holding me in the air with a raise of her hand and crunching my bones with the scrunch of her fingers.

The young georgeous looking woman dropped her hand which made me slam to the floor on my stomach, i dropped to her feet and was at her mercy. "What are you doing here? this is no place for humans" she demanded, she held me at her mercy, not even with a touch just her hand hovering over me and using her powers to hurt me for information. The more quiet i was, the more she crunched my bones, with a loud cracking all over, as though a bus was slowly driving over my ribs.

To my relief Maria-Hope immerged from the shade with another woman, with wave of Maria's hand the villain of a girl was pushed away. "BACK OFF GEMMA!" Maria shouted. Maria-hope came to my aid, somehow healing me with just the hover of her hands over my body.

"WHY HAVE YOU BOUGHT ONE OF THEM HERE" Gemma shouted demanding for information "For his protection" Maria argued.

Gemma walked away with anger and the other unknown woman chased her, i was scared for my life again. Maria helped me off the floor, we walked towards an entrance of a corridor and she took me to an office, down the corridor. as we entered it was dull and gloomy, we sat eagerly awaiting the arrival of the one in charge. I looked around the room which made me uneasy, there was figures on the shelves that reminded me of things out of occult films, shaking in fear and having a constant reminder of what the girl gemma did to me, i felt unsafe, but somehow i knew i would be ok because of Maria-Hope.

The door opened and in walked a middle aged woman who also had black hair in a pony tail. I asked Maria-Hope with caution who this scary looking woman was? And who was gemma, Maria lent over with a slight whisper "this is my mum Tina and unfortunately Gemma is my unstable sister". A thought of, explains alot entered my head.

Tina walked behind me and sat on the other side of the desk, i felt like i was being prepared for interogation. "So your Brendon Cole" she quizzed me as if she knew me all my life but i dont know who they are.

"Yes" i nervously replied "are you a witch too" "i prefer the term protector" she quickly informed me. I told them "my mother is still in some sort of dimension" Tina replied "shes in a hell dimension called the dead zone, although shes not dead, its where although usually a person has died and gone to hell, there souls still live, the dead zone is where a soul is disposed of, however, her soul is being held as hostage in the dead zone" with determination to get my mother back i asked "what are we going to do" Maria starnly told me "you, nothing" she continued "they want you, but we dont know why you may have something in your soul, the theory at the moment is that your mother as made more then 1 deal, so whayever the reason your soul which they want, which is very, very rare, there must bea reason, if they've gone to this length, they don't just go after a human soul for no reason. We need to keep you here until we can find out why and then we can deal with it, they've already got a soul, the soul of your father your mum has already paid the price, as far as were aware, they're obviously desperate they wouldn't just keep a half witch for a hostage niether" just then there was a loud bang, as if a bomb had gone off up in the feild above our heads.

Maria and Tina both jumped up and told me to stay down and not move.
