Author's Note:

Hey guys. I feel lazy so Cedric is doing thr disclaimer.

Cedric: I will not!

Me: Unless you want to be made into purse you will.

Cedric: ((Grumble)) Thiss persson doess not own W.I.T.C.H.

Me: Thank you. Also I forgot to say last time that this story is supposed to relate more to the cartoon. Please Review. On with the story!

Phobos woke up in a cold sweat the next morning, still feeling the ghost of the Guardian's pink lips on his, still feeling her warm skin against his and still hearing the echo of her gasp in his ears. But it was only a dream. He rubbed his temples.

There was no denying it. He definitely had feelings for this girl.

But how did this happen?

Was it her hair?

Her eyes?

Or maybe it was her confident personality. Either way, one of those had sparked something inside him. Something that felt…almost nice. As if a shield of ice around his heart had begun to melt. For the first time in his life, his heart began to beat quickly. He clutched his chest and took some deep breaths, temporarily quieting his thoughts of her. Then he went to his closet and put his robes on. Next he cast a spell to untangle any knots in his waist-length, silver hair. Suddenly, there was a flash of an image in his head.

Will, in her Guardian form, with him as they kissed passionately, her fingers entwined in his hair, making the knots he had just untangled.

"No!" he suddenly yelled at no one in particular as he clutched his head with fistfuls of his hair. He had to control these visions…no…fantasies, about the Guardian leader. Then, Phobos had an idea, and he strode to his meditation room.

Will was eating her small meal of the day when she heard the noise. A clank, like metal on the ground.

Then the smell came. It smelled as if she was living in the nastiest dump in the world.

Will smiled. She knew what that smell meant: Blunk. The little green creature came into view with his nose on the floor. Suddenly he looked up and his face lifted into what must have been a smile when it came to passlings.

"Blunk knew he could find pretty redhead girl!" he said, "But all other girls say: Blunk no do it. Blunk get captured to. But Blunk come, and Blunk not get captured!" Will laughed. It had been such a long time since she laughed. She went over to the bars as Blunk did something that resembled a happy dance.

"Okay Blunk, calm down. So the others don't know you're here?" Blunk shook his head.

"No. Blunk come by himself."

"Okay. I want you to do something for me. Go tell the other Guardians that I'm ok and Vathek was assigned to guard me. Can you do that?" Blunk nodded enthusiastically.

"Blunk go right now and deliver message to other pretty girls," he said. Then he left through the small vent through which he had come in.

Vathek stood in the throne room with the other guards as Cedric talked with Phobos.

"Have you found out what we could do with the Guardian, my prince?" he said. Then Vathek noticed something. It may have been small but Vathek's eyes were good enough to know that Phobos had tensed up at the mention of "the Guardian". He automatically knew what that meant, due to what Caleb had told him about different kinds of emotions that he had learned about on Earth.

He couldn't believe it.

"Will. Will wake up."

Will once again had been gently shaken awake by Vathek's large blue hand. But by the tone of his voice and the fact that he used her given name, she knew there was no one watching him.

"What? Is something wrong?" she asked as she stretched.

"You may need to be the judge of that."

XXXXX

"WHAT?"

"It's true."

"You liar!"

"Don't take my word for it. Watch his reactions to you next time you go to the throne room."

Will felt like collapsing. She leaned on the wall and slowly sank down to the floor. Vathek had to be playing a joke on her or…or something.

But Vathek would know that this was not the time to play jokes. Or the subject to joke about.

But it was impossible. Phobos could not have fallen in love with her. They were enemies, and they were going to be enemies for eternity. Right? Right?

The gang were all in the basement of the Silver Dragon again. But there was a happier mood in the air. Blunk had told Caleb Will's message and he had just passed it on to the Guardians. They all sat on the spare bed with relieved looks on their faces.

"It's good that Vathek was assigned as her guard. He can find ways to deliver messages to us," Caleb said.

"Yes, yes we are all happy," Yan Lin said, "But have we figured out how to help Will?" Caleb sadly shook his head.

"Wait! I have an idea," Hay Lin said.

Phobos leaned back in his throne and rubbed his temples. He had just experienced another fantasy. This one was less vivid, more of an echo, thankfully. The meditation must have helped a little bit. Phobos knew he had to bring the Guardian in to get the Heart, but he strangely did not want it anymore. But then, what was the point of her being here? He couldn't just let her go. The guards would be suspicious.

This was going to be torture.

Will was trembling violently as another journey with, thankfully, only Vathek, was made to the throne room. What would Phobos try today? If he had fallen in love with her, would he…she tried not to think about it but the sentence automatically finished itself in her mind. She suddenly wondered what it would be like, kissing Phobos. But she quickly banished that thought from her mind. Before she knew it, she and Vathek were at the throne room.

Vathek left, and Phobos was once again alone with Will.

Will spoke before Phobos, not caring if he got angry.

"You aren't getting the Heart, so I don't know why I have to keep coming here." Phobos shook his head.

"Maybe not, but today this is different," he said as he once again stood up from his throne and walked to her, "You have a fighting personality, Guardian. I could use someone like that in my army."

Will was shocked and angry at the same time.

"You honestly think that I, of all people, would join your army?" Phobos had started to walk around her as he did on her first night as a prisoner, but, he was closer to her than before, he could have reached out and touched her.

"As I have said, you have a fighting personality, and that would be…useful in my army." As he said the word "useful" he had come up behind her and "absentmindedly" started playing with her hair. Will's breath caught in her throat. She wanted to move away, but her body wouldn't listen to her mind. She took a silent, but deep breath.

"I would never join your army." Then she felt two hands on her shoulders and Phobos had leaned over to her ear. His voice was a whisper when he spoke again.

"It's not as if you have a choice, Guardian. You are my prisoner." His whisper sent chills down her spine as his warm breath touched her ear. What the hell was wrong with her? Why couldn't she move, or resist his touch? She felt a single, warm tear suddenly run down her pale and bruised cheek. There was no denying. She liked his touch. Even Matt had never charmed her like that when she and him were dating. But she had to resist in any way she could.

"I am no one's puppet." Suddenly, she was turned around, and Phobos had brought his lips to hers before she could blink.

Me: So Phobos loves Will.

Phobos: I DO NOT!

Me: Stop denying it. ((Will walks in))

Will: Sup Phobos.

Phobos: *blush*

Me: Awww he's so adorable when he blushes.

Phobos: I AM NOT ADORABLE! I WILL RULE YOU!

Me: Mmmhmm. Find out what Will's reaction is in the next chapter folks.
