Celeste’s Trial

~I don’t really have much to say. I just want to urge you to write me. Well, if you have any comments, questions or concerns. Feel free to do so at methos5000@hotmail.com Thanks for reading and I hope your are enjoying it! Wendy~

When Celeste, Noel and Cleo opened their eyes they could not believe what they saw. They were now standing in the middle of a forest. There were green trees and mountains everywhere. Cleo had never seen such a beautiful sight. She only knew the desert of Egypt.

“Where are we? Where is everyone else? What’s going on? I don’t understand...” Celeste rambled on.

“Oui.” Noel agreed. That’s when they each could feel the ground move underneath their feet. It was an earthquake. The three girls tried to hold on to each other but it was too late. Each girl was now on the opposite part of the forest.

Celeste had trouble walking in her ice skates. She wanted to get back to Noel and Cleo. “Now, where am I?” she asked herself.

Celeste kept trying to walk. She then tripped because of the skates. Celeste landed hard onto the ground. “I’m beginning to fall like Wendy.” she said to herself as she opened her eyes. To her surprise she was in a memory.

Celeste was around 10 years old watching her older sister skate. Her sister Stella was 15 and a great pair skater. The couple were training for the Olympics. Stella had the same raven black hair only it was short. Her eyes were crystal blue. The boy Stella was skating with was her boyfriend and partner James.

After a little while Stella called to Celeste to skate with her. James picked up the little Celeste and twirled her around the rink. James put her down and she began to skate herself. Stella showed her some easy jumps and Celeste followed.

After a few years Stella had taught Celeste to skate. Celeste had gotten just as good as her sister, only she was too tall for pair skating. This didn’t worry either girl. Celeste became a single figure skater.

When Celeste was 12 and Stella 17 the two of them were practicing on the ice. Celeste hadn’t decided whether she wanted to become a Olympic skater. James came onto the ice and skated with Stella. He threw her in the air, but he didn’t catch her. Stella fell onto the ice. James and Celeste ran to her. Stella was unconscious.

After they went to the hospital they found out Stella severely hurt her left knee. Stella would never be able to skate again. Celeste decided then and there she would skate for her sister. Stella’s dream would now be her’s.

“I can’t make you do this Celeste.” Stella told her sister once she knew what Celeste wanted to do.

“I want to be a great skater.” Celeste said.

Stella shook her head and nodded. “Okay then. I’ll train you the best I can.”

Stella kept her word. She trained her sister the best that she could. James found himself a new partner. Stella and James did get married even with Stella’s jealously over his skating partner. Celeste went to the International University once she graduated high school. Celeste wanted an education along with skating.

Celeste soon opened her eyes to see Stella standing over her. “How could you? Your’s and my dream doesn’t include this sailor thing!” Stella shouted.

“I’m still a great skater. I will do my best even with being a senshi!” Celeste said as she got back onto her feet.

Stella said flatly, “You missed that jump.” Celeste looked confused at her. “The jump you were doing right before you were taken here!” Celeste then remember she was practicing a hard jump and missed. Stella laughed as she saw the confusion leave Celeste’s face. Stella then threw flames at her sister.

Celeste hit the ground once more. The pain and heat had been unbearable. “Capricorn Crystal Make-Up!” Celeste called. Black leaves surrounded her and changed her into the new Super Sailor Capricorn form. Her uniform changed slightly. The broach now had her sailor crystal inside of it. On the outside was the Capricorn symbol. Around the bottom of her skirt was a green stripe. It was the same green as her bows. Her tiara’s gem became a star. The back bows grew longer and the sleeves had transparent parts.

“Look at you! I will have to put you out of your misery!” Stella groaned. Stella threw more fire at Capricorn, but she dodged it.

“You are not my sister. My sister didn’t even want me to take her place. I did it because I wanted to! Capricorn Stone Kick!” Capricorn’s goat appeared and kicked a huge stone at the imposter sister. The stone smashed her.

Capricorn looked all around and didn’t see the others. Black light surrounded her and she was gone.
