A/N: Thanks for the comments! Suggestions have been noted, and most likely will be used. Here's the next Chapter. SOOO Sorry about the long wait.

World: Earth, Heatherfeild

An ambulance was at the school in a matter of seconds, there were so many police cars the sirens were deafening. Gage was put into the Ambulance, followed by Irma who was being carried out the front doors on a stretcher. No parents were allowed inside the courtyard so they were all crowded outside the entrance. As soon as they brought Irma out her parents rushed to her side. Will, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin stood inside the school looking out the widow that looked upon the courtyard. The students weren't being allowed to leave until Gage and Irma were off campus.

"Man news travels fast in this city," Cornelia commented.

"Anyone want to explain how Irma could have been shot in the middle of a crowded hallway and no one noticed? Besides the fact that there was no bullet!" Hay Lin asked.

"Do you think that we have some sort of connection with our male guardians?" Taranee said.

"It's possible. Right now it's the only explanation we have." Will said.

"I guess our plans for the Silver Dragon meeting are ruined. Oh no! I have the date with Luke tonight, I didn't actually want to go on a date, it was just a way to get him there. Curse my incredibly good looks." Cornelia complained.

"Way to focus on the important thing Cornelia." Will said looking out the window.

(********)

The two stretchers burst through the doors of the hospital and were immediately surrounded by nurses and doctors. The two were rolled down the hallway next to one another. Irma had tears streaming down her face. Gage, noticing this, reached over to her and grabbed her hand. She squeezed it tight. They stayed like this even while the doctors tried to get the bullet out and stitch up the wounds. After it was all over they were both asleep, but still hand in hand.

Irma dreamt while she slept,

She was on the floor in an immense white room of a palace. Columns stretched as far as the eye could see. She was lying on the ground. Standing she realized she was in guardian form.

Where am I, she thought.

Looking around she realized she wasn't alone. There was a huge birdlike thing on the ground a few feet away. It had large feathery wings; they were an odd color, a sort of light blue. Its pattern made it look almost like moving water. When it started moving Irma jumped back. It stood up and faced her. Irma let out a gasp; it was Gage but something was different. The wings obviously, but his brown hair was long and flowing. His eyes were a crystal-like blue, and he was much taller. He was wearing pants with the same odd pattern as his wings, with white boots that came almost to his knees. He wore no shirt with his muscles rippling. Irma couldn't believe his transformation from a scrawny boy to this.

"Irma? What's wrong?" He asked.

She pointed at him in response.

He looked down. "Whoa! What am I wearing! I don't have muscles!"

Irma gasped as she realized why he looked like that.

"Maybe that is your guardian form."

"My what?"

"Gage, there's something I need to tell you. There is a thing called The Heart of Kandrakar. It has magical properties that give the guardians their true power. Okay, this is hard to explain, bear with me. Okay, there used to be this thing called the veil. It separated a realm called Meridian from our realm. An evil man named Prince Phobos ruled there. He wanted to take over all the realms, so the veil was created to protect them. But it wasn't all that reliable so the Guardians of the Veil were created to ensure the safety of the other realms. Will, Taranee, Cornelia, Hay Lin, and I are the guardians now. Each of us have control over a different element, mine is water.

"There are also things called Aurameres, they contain our power. But something went wrong and the Aurameres were given too much power, so half of its power was given to five more guardians. Aden, Nigel, Gage, Eric, and Luke. You have exact copies of our power. So you have power over water too, like me."

There was a pause as Gage processed this. Then he spoke, "I guess that would explain the weird stuff that's been happening to me when I'm around water lately. But that doesn't explain how I somehow turned my favorite T-shirt pink!" Irma giggled at this.

"That's a power that comes with the water guardian stuff. You can also make people do what you want by saying what to do in your mind."

"Awesome! But I know that when I wake up this will all be a dream and we'll be back in the hospital and none of what you said will be true."

"What! No! It is true, when we wake up ask me and I'll tell you it was true. You have to believe me."

"How do we wake up anyway?"

"I don't know, maybe we can fly out. Come on!" Irma grabbed Gage's hand and flew upwards. They flew for a good five minutes until the whiteness faded.

They both sat bolt upright in their hospital beds breathing heavy.

"Will you believe me now!"

"Yes." Was all Gage said, but he was smiling.

"Goodnight Gage."

"Goodnight Irma."

And with that they both drifted off to sleep again.

A/N: Reviews are LOVED! Once again, I am really sorry it took so long to put this up, I've been really busy with school.
