Chapter 2:
(which is really chapter 3)
"Where the heck could she be?" Cornelia muttered. The other Guardians had been flying around the dungeons for nearly an hour, and there was still no sign of Will.
"Missing something?" came an all too familiar hiss. Suddenly Hay Lin screamed as Cedric knocked her to the ground.
"Get out! Now! It's a trap!" Caleb yelled. Too late they noticed the guards and lurdens lurking in the shadows. Quick as a wink, Irma swooped down and helped Hay Lin get back into the air. Cornelia managed to knock down a few lurdens with some roots. Then she heard Irma scream and turned just in time to see Cedric drag her down. The water Guardian retaliated by sending a giant wave of water at the shape shifter. Unfortunately, while it gave Irma time to get airborne, it left them with a very angry (and very wet) Cedric. Cornelia managed to tie him up with a few vines. He broke out of them in a minute, but that was just long enough. In that space of time, Irma, Taranee, and Hay Lin had distracted the lurdens, grabbed Caleb, and he and the Guardians had flown out of the dungeon. Cedric growled. Phobos was not going to be pleased with this report.
