Since legacies was a let down, here is my version.
Chapter 1: Not so fast, Raf.
Enter Kaleb and MG.
Together: Time to go, Hope's waiting on you. She found a way. She always does.
The four boys run towards the truck, driving back in silence. Landon is unsure of the plan, whether he would really be willing to give up the one thing that makes him special. But, Raf was his family. He couldn't be that selfish? Right?
They reach the school as Lizzie waits outside, she screams "HURRY UP IDIOTS." Rafael stops Landon shortly after the rest enter the school premises. "You don't have to do this Lan, I know how much being a phoenix means to you." "No, dude, no question about it, we are family, right?" "Yea."
They enter the gym room where Hope has set up a circle of protection in preparation for the spell. "You ready?" She asks pulling Landon away. "I would give anything up for him... the question is are you ready?" He looks into her eyes searching for an answer, but it's as if her mind is elsewhere. "Yes, of course." "Ready guys, and muppet." Says Lizzie as she holds a sharp binding object made of gold and copper in her hand. "This won't hurt a bit, well I hope." The boys walk into the circle and hold the binder. Hope vigilates the circle and looks at her time, the moon is almost up, that's when magic runs strongest. "Here goes nothing." Says Lizzie as she tries to syphon off the energy from Landon who has his eyes tightly closed. "Well?" Asks Hope, "Is it working?" "No... muppet has no magic. What the hell, Landon?" "What?" Hope says in a soft shock. Landon opens his eyes and moves back removing his hands from the binder. "I knew it..." He walks towards the bleachers and takes a seat. Raf walks behind him as Lizzie looks at Hope to find an answer. "Now what?" "I... I don't know Lizzie. Now I dont just have Raf to worry about." "Look Ms. Savior, I get how you must be feeling, but one problem at a time. Raf doesn't have much time left..." she walks closer to her in order to whisper, "and... I know you and him have unresolved history. So, get your act together." Hope swallows the nothingness. There she is all over again, it's ridiculous, she thinks... being stuck in a world where all she does is worry, it's exhausting. Her eyes begin to light up. Not now, she thinks. Control. She walks towards Landon and Raf. "Look... I am gonna go do some more research." "Hope..." Raf says holding her hand merely a second and letting go. His heartbeat still shuffles when she is around him. "Look, I know it won't work... my life... this is what always happens. Don't waste your time. Relax, let's go chill and have fun. If tomorrow is my last day." "It's not." She stops him abruptly and leaves the room. The three others go outside, they talk about the possibilities of using other energy to save Raf. Nothing occurs to them. Landon is still petrified about not being a Phoenix, he knows that's not where his mind should be at, but he can't help it.
"It will be okay Landon, Phoenix is not all that you are." Says Raf. "No it's just. Nevermind." He doesn't want to complain. "Let eat something." "Oh I know," Lizzie says as she finishes texting.
She says a spell and soon a meal of Mc Donalds appears to them. All the students join. "Oh, sometimes I forget the power of being a witch."
"GUYS. I FOUND IT." Hope emerges into the room, flying with her wolf energy. "Whattt???" Asks Lizzie. "Well, remember how our wolfman is a descendant of Arthur. That's just the answer."
Everyone stares at her.
