Even the Longest Tunnels Have a Light at the End

A/N: Hey readers! This has been in my head for awhile now…well, the idea has. Its' going to be some MattXWill and quite a bit CorneliaXCaleb. I hope you guys like it. Please review!

P.S. I've never written something this…dark…maybe not dark, but actual kind of cruel might be the better word, but I think after a little while, it gets better and more romance will occur. So, again, I've never done something like it, so constructive criticism is welcome, but no flames.

Rating: M (it is a harem and some parts may be really graphic) Not for those with a weak stomach or the easily faint. At least, not in the beginning. I'll let you know when it gets better.

Pairings: Some Will/Matt, quite a bit Cornelia/Caleb

Elyon Brown, true heir to the throne in Meridian, groaned in pain as her cousin, Miranda, who was able to turn into a spider-like thing, hurried over to see if she was okay. Miranda was one of the nice ones in the palace. As she allowed Miranda to check her over, she thought back to how she got here to begin with.

3 Months Earlier

Elyon didn't know what to think. Her friends were some kind of fairies. They had just attacked the defenseless bookshop manager with some powers over the elements. She couldn't believe Cornelia didn't tell her! And now she finds out that she is a princess? This couldn't be happening!

She followed Cedric, the bookshop manager, through the light rain and into the store as he continued to explain to her that she had a brother and everything. How could friends or even her so-called 'parents' not have told her about this? They said they were protecting her, but how was that possible? They told her that her brother was evil, but he had made someone pose as a bookstore owner just to find her! How could he be evil?

Elyon was brought out of her thoughts as Cedric gently shook her.

"Elyon, you have to be willing to go across the veil. Are you ready?" Cedric asked her as he bent down to be eye level with her. Memories flashed through Elyon's head before landing on what had just taken place.

"I'm ready," Elyon nodded as Cedric took her hand and led her through a blue, circular, portal-type thing. If Elyon had only realized she would never be ready for what was about to happen.

She had followed the handsome Lord Cedric through a Meridian street before she saw the palace. It was beautiful on the outside. She never expected what was on the inside.

"Prince Phobos, I present your sister," Cedric hissed slightly. Phobos smirked before turning around with fake happiness and kneeling so Elyon could reach him.

"Elyon, is it really you?" Phobos asked in a sugary-sweet voice. Of course it was her. He had been watching her for weeks, waiting until this moment.

"I have a brother!" Elyon said happily as she ran over to him and hugged him. He hugged her back while looking over her shoulder at Cedric and nodding, telling him it was time.

Elyon gasped as Phobos pushed her back into Cedric. Her happiness turned to fear as Phobos let down the spell that had been making the castle beautiful, showing her all the horrible darkness.

"Wh-What's going on?" Elyon stammered before letting out a scream when Cedric ripped off her shirt and pants, leaving her in her bra and underwear. Were her friends and 'parents' right all along? She tried to back away, but Cedric held her firmly by her wrists as Phobos advanced towards her.

Present Time, Heatherfield

Caleb ran into the Silver Dragon basement and froze when he saw the expressions on the guardians' faces, especially his girlfriend's. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.

A/N: What's wrong? Why are the guardians so anxious? Caleb is Cornelia's boyfriend? Haha, you bet. So, I know this was short, but it's kind of just a preview thing. It'll get more action-y (is that a word?) soon. Please review if you want this to continue!
