Will AU

By: Sayaalv

(A/N: I don't own and see last chapter.)

The next morning the others woke up to see that Will was still sleeping curled up in Halinors arms sleeping peacefully while Halinor was holding her protectively even while asleep.

"They make such a cute pair to be honest. The only thing that bothers me is the large age difference between them. I mean Ms. Halinor is old enough to be Wills grandmother." Cornelia said shaking her head as she looked at the two mates before brushing her long blond hair until it was free of knots and tangles again.

"I know but it's really none of our business. As long as Will is happy and being taken care of then I'm happy. I don't know why or how it happened in such little time but Will feels kinda like a little sister to me, ya know?" Taranee asked earning nods from Irma, Hay-lin, and Elyon while Cornelia merely hummed slightly in agreement.

"She'll be happy that you all think that way." Halinor murmured sitting up slightly with a yawn punctuating her words.

"Man. It's been a long time since I've been able to sleep like that." Halinor said stretching slightly before smiling down at Will who had cuddled closer to her side in an effort to stay warm in the snowy climates.

"Why's that Ms. Halinor?" Hay-lin asked looking at the blond curiously and confusedly at her remark about not being able to sleep like that.

"Kandrakar, where I've been living for the last good many years, is literally a palace floating about the clouds with the sun always shining down on it. Do you know how hard it is to sleep in a marble palace that is filled to the brim with light?" Halinor asked looking at Hay-lin with one eyebrow raised and earning a small 'oh' of understanding from the young Air Guardian.

"Mmm. So warm and comfy." Will murmured in her sleep as she snuggled even closer to Halinor, almost lying on top of the blond. This caused her friends to snicker in amusement while Halinor blushed lightly before kissing Wills lips deeply.

"As much as I love you sleeping next to me, Will, it's time to wake up now." Halinor said after she pulled out of the kiss, leaving a few small bruises on the red heads lips.

"M'kay." Will agreed easily as she sat up and yawned, earning snickers of amusement from her friends when her hair stuck straight up due to static.

"Come on Will. Let's get your hair back to tamable levels." Cornelia said rolling her eyes in fond amusement at the red heads hair problem and picking up her hair brush again.

"Thanks Cornelia. Sometimes I swear Quintessence is a curse instead of a blessing." Will said pouting as her hair remained sticking straight up until Cornelia brushed it to make it lay flat like it normally did.

"We'd better bundle up and get ready to hit the slopes though. Who knows what'll happen today?" Taranee said pulling on an extra thick sweater and getting changed easily and quickly.

"Don't make me say anything or else I might jinx us." Irma said sounding dead serious despite the humorous gleam in her eyes.

"Ain't that the truth?" Cornelia said rolling her eyes heavenward as she finished brushing Wills hair and began to slip on her snow cloths too.

"Thanks Cornelia and Irma? Don't even think about it. We don't need you jinxing us and causing an avalanche or something." Will said causing Irmas mouth to snap closed with a pout on her face.

"Um Will? Where are your skis?" Hay-lin asked as all the girls got their skis ready except for Will who was smirking as she pulled on her 'skin sleeves' over her prosthetic limbs.

"Who said I'm skiing?" Will asked her smirk widening as she pulled out a snowboard and caused her friends to look at her.

"Huh?" Elyon asked raising an eyebrow at Will and wondering what the story was behind this.

"I said I hated skiing. I didn't say anything about snowboarding." Will said slinging her board over her prosthetic shoulder and carrying it as if she didn't even notice the looks she was getting from her friends, which she probably didn't.

"So despite this being a Ski trip where most of us will be skiing you brought a snowboard cause you hate skiing? That's…actually a pretty smart thing to do." Cornelia admitted with a small smile while the others nodded, Will didn't like skiing so therefore she wasn't going to ski despite this being a ski trip.

"No need to sound so surprised about it." Will said rolling her eyes while her friends merely grinned at one another for some reason none of them could explain.
