Well, here it is, the next story of my trilogy. I would like to thank those readers for reading my previous story. So let the new adventure begin...
Chapter 1 : Duplicate
It was a beautiful Saturday for Heartherfield. The people are mining their own business, with the others helping each other. In the Vandom's apartment, Will was having her breakfast with her mother. 'Will, so what will you be doing today?' Susan asked her daughter. Will is having her toast with butter and a glass of milk.
'Hanging out with friends today, maybe at the park. Why?'
'Oh, just curious.'
'Alright mom, if you say so. Wait... Is it because you want to hang out with Mr .Collins?'
'What? Who gave you that idea?'
'Mom, it's alright. I get it, just go.' Susan then gave her daughter a smile before finishing her breakfast. She then ask Will to wash the dishes before going out before heading out, which she grunt.
At the Cook's house, Taranee was studying with Cornelia. 'Ugh. I should be at the shoes shop or the clothes parlour. But no, I have to stay here to study with you.' Cornelia complain. The team knows that she is almost the beauty queen of the group. And sometimes she always argue with Irma, which they got used to it.
'My mom told me if I don't study, I won't be allowed to go out.' Taranee explained. She was the smart member of the guardians. Although she was the smartest between them, she is scared of bugs, tight space and lots of things.
'Then hurry up, the sun won't be shining all day you know.' She then headed to the window looking up into the sky. She was thinking of Caleb, which he stayed back at Merridian.
'I know. Just give me a few more minutes, caz I almost done.' Taranee was a few pages before finishing her booked. Then Cornelia had a good idea to make the day even better.
'Hey, Taranee, how about we bring our boyfriends to the park. I will ask Will to open a fold and bring Caleb here.' Cornelia suggest.
'Nice, but have you forgotten that one of us still don't have one.' Taranee reply while reading the book, which she hope to finished it quickly.
'Oh, then we will have to find her one.'
'I don't think so, do you remember what happen with last time?'
'Please don't remimd me on that day, it was horrible.'
'You said it. Finally, finish. Let's go Corny.' Taranee then closed her book leaving the bedroom, with Cornelia following her.
At the Lin's restaurant, Hay Lin was helping Yan Lin to clean the basement, which Blunk stink up the place the last time. 'Grandma, my friends and I are going to the park. Wanna come with us?' Hay Lin ask. She was the cheery of the group, and sometimes a airhead. She was also a best friend of Irma, which they always hang out together.
'Can't. I am very busy today, the council of Kandrakar has a problem, I need to be there later. But I heard that the girls will want to bring something special.' Yan Lin answer.
''What king of special? Is it a new pet, or a bracelet that is super cute.' Hay Lin is exited about going to the park today.
'Even better, but if you want to know, just go to the park later. But now, clean the basement, it wreaks.' Hay Lin then continued to clean the basement.
At the Lair's house, Irma was still asleep while dreaming of a dream she liked. 'I want to be your Irma!' 'No, pick me Irma' 'Pick me!', she was dreaming of the boys trying to get her attention a lot. Irma was the groups joker, and always never miss a chance to made Cornelia angry. She also likes to make nicknames for people she hate or like. And she is the only person in the group who still doesn't have a boyfriend, which she don't mind sincfe she said she will always be the perfect single.
Chris was Irma's little brother, almost mischievous as Irma. He was holding a water gun, filled with cold water. He headed into Irma's room and aimed at her head. He then pulled the triger, which instantly woke Irma up. 'Chris! Get out of my room before I feed you to a pack of wolves!' Irma shout. Chris then left her bedroom, which she then use her powers to dry herself off before going to the bathroom. She then washed up before heading into the dining room. 'Irma, Will just called, she said that they will be hanging at the park today. You wanna go?' Anna told her. Irma was happy to hear that she doesn't have to stayed with her brother for today.
'Mom. Why she can go and I can't.' Chris ask out of jealously.
'Because, sweetie. It will be a girls day out, and I think it will be best if you stay here.' Anna then kiss his forehead, which he then rub it away.
'Thanks mom. So, what's for breakfast.' Irma ask, seeing that there was all kinds of food on the table.
'Is that a trick question?' Anna ask her back.
'No, I mean, there is too much to eat here.'
'Who says that there is too much to eat?' Tom joke. He was a policeman, and also sometimes he jokes around when he's home. When he was angry, he can always be strict, but Irma always can get out of trouble with her dad.
'Thanks dad.' Irma said sarcastically. 'But I think I will some of it. I can't wait to spend time with the others.' Irma then grab some bread and some bacons to eat. Tom then got off of his chair, 'Bye honey. Bye kids, and Irma, make sure to be home by dinner.' Tom warned her before exiting the house.
'Is he always trying to destroy my mood?' Irma said sarcastically.
Irma had finished her breakfast. She then head out, heading to the park with her friends waiting there. She then though about what will they do once they were all together at the park. She then walked through the alley to get to the park faster. Then she heard something in the trash can nearby, so she wak to the can. When she knock the lid, Blunk jump out, which started Irma. 'Blunk! What are you doing here! Your suppose to be in Merridian.' Irma shout at him. Blunk then took out a broken trophy.
'Would Irma want cup? I trade with that neck holder.' Blunk point at the necklace. Irma then hold it, and notice it was a gift from the prince when she left Atlantia. She remember their time, and she also notice she was wearing the heart of Aquariat. 'No Blunk. And lay your grubby hands away from my necklace.' Irma then close the lid, before walking off.
'Blunk still no understand girls.' he complain.
At the park, Will, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin were under a tree, waiting for Irma. 'Will, guess what I brought.' Cornelia asked her. Will then try to think of what did she brought to the park.
'Is it someone new you met?' Will ask, knowing that Cornelia will find a new boy.
'No, try again.'
'Is it a new necklace?' this Hay Lin ask, which Cornelia node her head.
'Spill it Corny. I want to know.' Will ask, wanted to know what did she bring. Cornelia then point at the fountain, and noticed four boys were sitting on the bench. 'Wait, you brought them here?' Will ask.
'Yeah. C'mon, let's go and sit with them.' Cornelia got and headed to one of the boys.
'And I though I was hiding things.' Will say, before following her. The others also follow them. When they reached the bench, they were surprise it was their boyfriend. 'Matt? Eric? What are you doing here?' Will ask, not knowing why did they come.
'Cornelia told us to come. And I'm not sure how did Caleb get here either.' Matt then point Caleb with Cornelia sitting nearby.
Will then head towards them and drag Cornelia behind a bush. 'Corny, is this your idea?' Will ask.
'Yeah, so?' Cornelia then push her hair to the back form her ear.
'I like it. But I think someone else won't be.' Cornelia knew what she meant. But she just smile, trying to avoid any disagreement.
'C'mon Will, we better sit with them before they think we left.' Cornelia then walk away, heading towards Caleb. Will sigh before walking to Matt.
Irma had just arrived to the park. She was heading to their usual place under tree. She notice they weren't there, so she try to look for them. She noticed that the others were nearby the fountain talking to their boyfriends. She then walked towards them, which she notice they were sitting next to their boyfriends. Hay Lin saw Irma was nearby and told Eric that she need to do something for a while. She then walk towards Irma, 'Irma, what took you so long?' Hay Lin ask while holding her hands.
'Who brought them here?' Irma still looking at them.
'It was Corny idea, why?'
'Nothing, just wanted to know why did Blunk is here in the alley.' Irma then pointed att he alley where she just passed.
'That I think Corny will have to explain to you.' Hay Lin then started to head to Eric. 'C'mon Irma, sit with us.'
'No thanks Hay Hey. I think I better head somewhere else. I might even made Corny unsatisfied with her knight.' Cornelia heard what she said and also realised that she is walking away. She then told Caleb that she need to talk to someone first.
She then hurry to Irma, 'Irma, wait. Where are you going?' Irma then stopped and noticed she was running towards her, with Hay Lin following her. 'What's wrong Corny? I don't want to disturb your date.' Irma wanted to walk away but Hay Lin grab her arm.
'I know how you feel Irma, but don't go.' Hay Lin say.
'Fine, but I still feel left out.' Irma then head to the fountain with Hay Lin and Cornelia.
'We will find you one next time Irma.' Hay Lin say before heading to the bench with Eric.
'Swell.' Irma say sarcastically.
At Merridian, Vathek was checking on the prisoners. 'All right Cedric. Are you there,' Vathek shout. But he received no answer, so he called out again. 'Cedric! Are you going to answer me!' but again, he received to answer, so he takes a closer look. He saw Cedric still in his cell but he though that something doesn't feel right. He then grab a stone and threw it at Cedric, which it then goes through him like water. Vathek is shocked that he managed to escaped. He then hurry to the palace to warned the queen.
Once he reached the palace, he quickly enter the thrown hall. He managed to find the queen. 'My queen. I have bad news.' Vathek said during bowing down.
'What is it Vathek?' She asked.
'One of the prisoners has escaped.'
'Who escape?'
'Cedric, my queen.'
'What!' Elyon almost scream by the sudden information. 'I must tell the guardians.' Elyon then walk down the stairs.
'Wait, there's more. Someone use water to make a duplicate of him.' Elyon is shocked.
'There's only one person I knew who can use water to make a duplicate.' Elyon then open a fold to the Silver Dragon.
