Chapter 3: Trying Again

Phobos and Will sat there on the floor for a while before Will decided that she needed to head back to earth. After saying goodbye to Phobos, she created a fold to earth and hopped through it. When she arrived, one thought came to her mind. 'One last try and then she can do what she wants.' Will walked around her old home and finally took everything in. She walked past the Silver Dragon and smiled thinking of all the time that she had with her friends here. That is the same restaurant that Caleb would live in during Phobos reign and where they held most of their Meridian related meetings if not all the meetings. The smell of Chinese food made her hungry and it reminds her of her friends weirdly enough. 'Maybe a little something to eat before I decide to talk again.' Will thought and then realized that she is in her queen clothes which could draw a lot of unwanted attention. Will snapped her fingers and her clothes changed and then she walked in. As soon as she did, she had wished she hadn't when her name was called by a certain Chinese girl. She couldn't walk away now and she knew if they know about Phobos, she was going to have a lot of explaining to do. She kept her head high and slowly walked over to the four girls sitting at the far table. She reached the table and she sat down. "Hello everyone, what's up?"

"We were just about to ask you the same question Will. What the heck did you say to Matt? He came back all bummed out and wouldn't even tell us why. So now that you're here, why the heck is Matt so depressed?" Cornelia said not very happy.

"It's a long story ok." Will then started to get up when Cornelia grabbed her arm.

"I" but before Cornelia could even get a word out, Yan Lin came walking in.

"Will, how are you?" Will shrugged and Yan Lin continued. "Will, why don't you come with me and grab a bite to eat." Will gratefully accepted and walked away with Yan Lin and then the others started getting up as well but Yan Lin told them to stay and so they sat back down. They got to the basement of the Silver Dragon and Will sat down as Yan Lin brought Will some food. "You came to talk again didn't you?" Will nodded and then took a bite of food.

On the other side of the building, Cornelia had gotten fed up and left the table and headed outside. Once she was out of site of anyone, she teletransported to right above the stairs of the Silver Dragon basement and then listened in on the conversation.

"I don't know exactly what to do Mrs. Lin. Cornelia hates me now for not visiting her or the others but I haven't had anytime at all. Now I need a husband which is a lot easier then I thought it would be." Yan Lin then cut her off.

"Who is the man you found?" Yan Lin asked.

"I would rather not say, I'm afraid that if I say anything, I'll be called a traitor or something, by Cornelia anyway. I know you will listen to me but the others, especially Cornelia wouldn't understand. I guess that I may as well tell you though. You could never hate me." Will paused and took in a deep breath and then continued. "The man I found is Phobos."

At hearing this, Cornelia held her hand to her mouth and then stormed downstairs. "You little witch, how could you betray us like this." Will was about to say something but got cut off by Cornelia. "What the heck were you thinking. No wonder Matt is in such a funk Will, you betrayed us all just to make life a little easier for you."

Cornelia went on with her rant for a while and then Will finally snapped. "Shut up Cornelia." Will shouted as Will zapped her upstairs and through the restaurant. She teletransported over to Cornelia who landed next to the others. "I have had enough of you Cornelia. This is why I didn't tell you and probably why Matt didn't tell you because of this." Will bent down a little and leaned over Cornelia. "I swear Cornelia, if I wasn't your friend, I would thrash you so hard right now." Will then waved goodbye and tried to walk away when something grabbed her leg. Will looked down just to get wrapped up in vines.

"We aren't friends Will, not anymore." Then Cornelia threw Will right through the two doors and then teletransported outside.

Will is still tied up but decided to break herself free. "You want to play this way fine but I can't believe that you would throw everything away over hearing something that you didn't want to hear." Will yelled over to her. "Next time Cornelia, stay out of my business." Will said throwing bolt after bolt at Cornelia. Cornelia tried to use the ground as a shield but didn't get it up in time and she got thrown back into the building and then Will teletransported away.

Cornelia landed hard on a table and knocked it over. "Fine then Will, play chicken, I don't care." Then the others ran up to Cornelia and asked what had happened. "Will's turned on us, that's all I know."

Then Yan Lin walked up to the group with a not so happy look on her face for two reasons. One, her customers ran away and two, because of Cornelia. "Cornelia, I am very disappointed in you." Cornelia was just about to say something but was cut off by Yan Lin. "If you knew at all you may have a different look on why Will did what she did. She didn't have to tell me anything for me to figure out exactly what is going on mainly because the Oracle has told me everything. I just wanted Will to tell me and none of you were supposed to hear any of it for the reason of what had just happened." Yan Lin yelled the last part.

"She betrayed us though and" Cornelia was cut off by Yan Lin.

"She did nothing Cornelia except what she needed. In fact her fiancé is a lot better then you take him for and both Matt and I have been willing to deal with it. The reason for Matt's sadness is that he missed his chance with Will not because of who she chose as a husband. Cornelia, Phobos has changed more then you know. If we hadn't sent him to Goreth, he would never had gotten better as a human being. Now thanks to that world, Phobos has become very kind and everything he wasn't before. Will never had any intention on marrying him until she found out the truth about him and thought that Matt is still married. If anyone betrayed anyone Cornelia, it is you. I don't expect Will to want to ever talk to you again but if she does, consider yourself lucky." With that, Yan Lin headed over to the door and put up a closed sign up and then headed back into the kitchen.

"So Will is going to Marry Phobos?" Hay Lin asked. Cornelia nodded and then got thrashed some more. "What the heck were you thinking Cornelia. Now thanks to you, We may never see Will again." She yelled.

"Yeah Cornelia, I realize that Will wasn't your favorite person when you two first met but did you really think that she would betray us." Taranee yelled

"Will has been nothing but loyal to us since the beginning and now that she does something that you don't like and you try to kill her. What the heck is wrong with you. You didn't even give Will the chance to explain herself. No wonder she didn't want you to know." Irma screamed and then the three pushed her out of the way and went to find Will if they could. They all teletransported over to Wills mothers house after telling Cornelia not to follow.

Will had just arrived home when three flashes appeared before her. "You come to yell at me to." Will said hurt.

"No Will, we won't and we want to talk about this Will. If you don't mind, we just don't want to lose you as a friend or in anyway else." Irma said sadly.

"We know about Phobos and everything but we want to know why you went there in the first place." Hay Lin frowned a little seeing her friends sadness.

"I thought that I would get some stress relief and so I went to Phobos to beat him up and then I got there and we started talking and then we got close and now we're getting married." The three nodded and smiled. "I'm going to go talk to my mother now." Then the three left and Will headed up the stairs. When Will had first tried to talk to her mother, her mother had no intention on leaving Heatherfield and Will blamed herself for it. The first thing Will had said was that her mother had to move with her which wasn't what she should have said since afterward, they both got into an argument and Will never got the chance to explain anything. Will was told to leave and never come back after some harsh words coming from both Will and her mother. So Will dreads this moment but she had to clear things up with her mother. Will had changed her glamour on her clothes off now and went up to the door.

She knocked on the door and Susan opened up. Before Will could say anything, Susan hugged her daughter. "I'm so sorry for what I had said to you Will but I'm still not moving."

"That's want I want to talk to you about but this time I want to say that you don't have to." Will was let in and led over to the couch.

"Before you say anything Will, what's with the clothes? They are kind of fancy for you aren't they." Susan asked and all she got is a chuckle.

"That's just it mom, I'm very rich but I want you with me. I know you don't want me to provide for you mom but believe when I say that I will and won't be. I want you to live with me at my home. Life will be much easier for you where I live and we will be able to see each other." Susan was about to say something and Will knew exactly what it is she wants to say and cut her off. "You can't fly where I am mom. In fact there is no way to get there except by certain people. Me being one of them. My home is called Moranox and well, let me show you how to get there." Will then pulled out the heart of Kandrakhar and made a fold. "This is how you get there mother and so we can only see each other when I have time and I never have time mother. I love you but I will never see you after today if you don't come with me. Mom, I'm a queen and I have subjects. I can't run from that mother and I need you. Please, I need help and right now, I don't have that. Please, help me?"

Susan thought about this for a minute and then smiled. "So when do we go Will."

Will gave her mother a big smile and a hug. "Thank you mom, thank you."
