[OLD; DISCONTINUED] Acts of Vengeance

Chapter Four: Chaos, At The Spot

2:32PM
THE CENTER OF REGIONS
ENCHANTRESS

No one was allowed to go near The Center of Regions. No one except, of course, the Guardians and Enchantress. The place was guarded heavily with soldiers ready to throw anyone who dare steps close into the dungeons.

Onika got goosebumps, every time, she can near it. Even though she was allowed in at all times.

No one really knew why the place was forbidden from the public. Maybe it was because of the one of a kind crystals that grew there; or the beautiful trees that cascaded and stood over the entire scenery. Or, maybe it was a special place to the Enchantress.

Either way, it was off limits.

As the 7 Guardians began to arrive not too far apart from each other, they all looked around in wonder. As if, they hadn't been here several times.

Each Guardian had a built in seat, that would face the Enchantress as she sat, or stood.

The seats started with Onika, and worked their way down the colors of the rainbow, to Chris.

As each Guardian sat in their respective seats, Beyoncé couldn't help but look over at Onika, since she sat right next to her.

Coincidentally, Onika couldn't help but look over at Beyoncé, and they ended up catching each other in the act. Quickly, Onika snapped her head back to the front, sitting upright in her seat.

Beyoncé sighed, her hand reaching out to touch Onika's.

"I'm sorry..." She said genuinely.

Before Onika could even respond, the Enchantress entered.

You could tell that she had already been here before the Guardians came. Her scent lingered everywhere in the place. She was making sure the Guardians stood to her word; "no more than thirty minutes from now."

Her voice echoed and bounced of the walls as she spoke:

"I'm sure you're quite aware of why you all are here on such short notice."

The Guardians moved uncomfortably in their seats.

"So...you don't?" She asked calmly.

None of the Guardians moved.

"There's something different in the air of Love." Onika spoke up.

"And the air of Empathy." Rihanna added.

"People...are freezing up from the inside in the Region of Entertainment." Chris said quietly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him.

"So, you do know why." The Enchantress said just as calmly. She sighed.

"A sickness has taken over our world. From the research I have had my men do, it is known commonly as the Cold Touch. Scientifically as-" Enchantress spoke, but was cut off suddenly by a loud gasp from the Guardian of the Region of Intelligence; Kelly.

"Tranic.." she said in disbelief.

The Enchantress stayed quiet for a moment, and the other Guardians looked back and forth between Kelly and her.

"Yes, correct. How do you know?" Enchantress asked after awhile.

"After it effected a wide number of my people, I did some research myself." Kelly answered quietly.

"What is the Cold Touch?" Beyoncé blurt with her blunt, serious tone. Onika crossed her legs, glancing at Beyoncé and then back to the Enchantress.
