Cornelia Hale was a pain. Irma watched with a grin on her face as Caleb physically had to take her arm off of his for at least the twentieth twime since they'd left the house. The best part as far as Irma was concerned was that Caleb knew she was watching. Laughing at him. The poor guy had accidentally just invited himself out with a leech. "Shouldn't you see a doctor Caleb?"

"Huh?"

Caleb looked down at Cornelia and then back to Irma who grinned even more, resting her arms around the shoulders of Hay Lin and Taranee; not that Hay Lin stayed there for long - constantly skipping ahead, the girl had decided to give them a reminder of Karmilla's entire album history. "You said, that you're in love! Above all other loves! Suddenly it turned into lust that, went back into dust!"

"I thought you had a growth, but it's just Cornelia on your arm." Irma's smile became evil as Cornelia quickly took a sidestep away from Caleb and Caleb laughed. Apparently saving his ass had made him relax alot, and Irma was glad, though she did think that he should have been a little less dismissive when telling her about the 'murmurers'.

"You said, you guys are friends but really you guys are benched! He said, he loved you and would never replace you! And would marry you, carry you!"

Irma really couldn't take much more of this, "We get it Hay Lin! You like Karmilla! And thanks to you not one of us will by the time we get there!"

"But instead he burried you! Now that it's seperate! He becomes desperate! He walks and talks!"

"Hay Lin!"

"But really he falls and crawls! He said, he hates you, he regrets you! And I said, I will hate him, and forget him!"

"HAY LIN!"

Everyone had shut up at that. Caleb had spoken so quickly and was looking very meaning fully at Hay Lin, so it was obviously important; Ir ma wondered if he forgot they were about as literate in his language as a penguin and Hay Lin's reply seemed rather obvious. "What?"

"I said.." Eyes were on Caleb and Irma thought it was probably his leadership qualities shining through that he could manage that so easily; a skill her own leader obviously couldn't achieve - perhaps that was why he'd joined them. To babysit. He raised one hand up and pulled Hay Lin's face upward by the chin so that she'd give him her attention. "Shut up."

...

Will tilted her head as she ambled towards the great glowing light of the portal ahead of her. It was beautiful really. Enegry bounced from it not solid, liquid or gas. It was just there; visable but out of reach to the dimensions - you couldn't touch it, only pass through it. A big gaping hole in the Universe. Mihi virtutem.

"Sorry?" Will hadn't heard it probperly, or what had been said, but it lay in the back of her mind as she shook away a tingle that ran cold down her back. She looked around, but no one was there. She had imagined it. As wonderful it was that she was going crazy, Will shook off the words and fumbled with her collar, unzipping her large grey jacket to pull out the Heart. She held her hands in the air, and took a deep breath. As many times as she done it, the entire ordeal still freaked her out a bit.

Mihi virtutem. As she closed her eyes though, the Heart suddenly tugged away from her and she looked up; pulling the cord away from the portal with all her might until it realeased as if the Heart had just given up; sending her backside first onto the gravel.

"What's in there?" She knew it was forbidden to go into the portal alone. Well, Caleb hadn't exactly forbidden her, but there had been a lot of shouting about it and she'd definitly got herself into trouble. But the Heart wanted her to go. It was guiding her in.. Yanking her in was more literal actually.. There was a heavy gust of wind as leaves rustled around her, "Spord larts-ahh, you don't look right."

It cannot be that I have to endure this as well as Cornelia just in hope to talk with one of you who by chance still appears to be mad at me, so will you please be quiet now.
