I am so sorry guys!! I never thought it would take me so long to update! I have been so caught up with block exams and what not so here it is!
Oh by the way CCROX4Eva i am going to use your little plan thing later on thanks!!
It was three days after the meeting; Cornelia and Taranee were sitting on a bench at the park.
"What you have to be kidding me, how could he say all that mean stuff, I never would have thought Caleb to be like that!" exclaimed Taranee.
"Shhh, Taranee, don't tell anyone I am sort of embarrassed by the whole thing" answered Cornelia, bowing her head slightly.
"Corny, don't be embarrassed you did nothing wrong, besides you can trust me not to tell anyone" smiled the Fire Guardian sweetly. Cornelia knew she could always trust Taranee, which is why she decided to confide in her in the first place.
"Yeah, I know, thanks, but I just don't understand what his feeling are for me, are we friends or aren't we?" sighed Cornelia, watching as two young children were throwing stones into the pond.
Taranee smiled, 'now is when we get into it', "We'll let's start with, what are your feelings for him?"
Cornelia blushed slightly, "Oh, I'm not sure" she then inhaled deeply "I do like him as a friend but there is just something different about him, I just don't know what, like we are always having good times together, like when we went horse riding all the time, but then we fought a lot as well, just the other day he was angry at me because I forgot it was his fathers birthday!"
Taranee smiled, resting a hand on her blonde friend's shoulder; "I think I know what it is" she smiled. Cornelia just tried to smile at her friend
"Well, that's one person, anyway I am still stressed about what we have to do for the whole getting rid of the Tracker plan!" exclaimed Cornelia, happy that she had thought of something to change the subject.
Taranee played dumb at the change of subject, "Well why don't we practice, you know, we can do it tomorrow if you want, oh and lets not transform so that when we do, our powers will be ultra awesome!" smiled Taranee
"Oh thanks, Tara, I really need this, so what about we meet up tomorrow at the cave by the beach?"
"Stop lying to me Beth, I know what you did, so just tell me" yelled Harold
"Cornelia dear, umm welcome back, how was your day at school?" asked Elizabeth
Cornelia stopped dead in her tracks, "Mum school doesn't start for another week and a half! Were you two fighting again?"
Both were silent, Elizabeth wasn't too keen on adding anything else to the conversation. "No, darling, we were just having a slight disagreement"
With this Cornelia stormed off into her room. Her parents said nothing and went on with the 'disagreement'
"I…. have to…rest" puffed Taranee at Cornelia, who was leaning over a rock. They were at the beach practising their volcano making skills; so far they only made a rock about a meter high which spat out some lava that travelled for at least three meters.
"Oh for goodness sake what is the stench" cried Taranee holding her nose tightly.
"Mmm that would be our little friend Blunk" said Cornelia pulling a face of disgust as the smell ran up her nose.
Just as she said that Blunk came running around the corner. "Oh at last Blunk find Brainy and Blondey girl, Caleb give Blunk message" he announced holding his head up high.
The two guardians stared at the little creature, "And?" they said simultaneously.
"Caleb say for Blunk to say to Blondey girl, that he very sorry for making her sad, and that he would like to be forgiven, for his bad ways" grinned Blunk.
Cornelia rolled her eyes, walking towards Blunk, "So what that's it? He couldn't even come and say it face to face, what a coward!" Yelled Cornelia "Go on tell him that, seeing that you are a messenger and all" she said pointing at Blunk who ran off quickly.
Cornelia turned to Taranee, who was now breathing normally, "Well said" she agreed nodding her head.
It was late in the afternoon, the Meridian sun was just about to start it's descent from the sky, making room for the moon. It was this time of day that let shadows create any shape they wish. Three of these shadows cast themselves down upon the trees below; they made their owners out as tall as full grown oaks, as proud of father's looking down at their sons. It was these that had caught the little furry creature's attention, he noted that one of the shadows looked a little bit less then the other two, there was something missing, as if he didn't hold as much zest for life as the others. The animal found this a reason to investigate closer. He was watching the shadows for a full forty minutes, they puzzled him so much, they weren't men and yet no boys, not even the smell of a freshly baked pie could deter him. On closer inspection, he was astonished to find that they only belonged to three humans! How could they posses so much power about them. Then out of the blue one threw his arms up at the sky, this did make the little animal run madly to where he last saw his clan.
"I just don't get her! One minute we are the closest mates then all of a sudden we are yelling at each other, how does it work?!" exclaimed the Brown haired fighter, who had thrown up his hands. His other two companions just looked sympathetically at him.
"Why don't you try to give her space?" suggested one with green skin
"No, she is a good looking girl, other males will snatch her up in an instant!" exclaimed a blonde haired boy, he tapped his finger on his chin, "You did apologize to her didn't you"
Caleb started to shift his feet, "Well I sent Blunk"
Aldarn and Drakes mouths dropped. "Your kidding me aren't you Caleb? How could you be so stupid!" asked Aldarn
"Well I am bust there was no way I could of made it over there and back in time, I have to prepare for the fight anyway" said Caleb crossing his arms.
"Well, do you like her?
Caleb stayed silenced for awhile, "Geez Drake, I don't have a clue" he finally answered scratching his head.
"Well, how about we take it slowly; do you like her as a friend?"
Caleb smiled, reminiscing on all the good times they spent together, he laughed to himself when he remembered the time that they were playing in the mud until an old lady came up and started to yell at them, saying that they had splashed mud at her three year old son, or when they made a huge tree house together for the children of Meridian. The smile faded when he thought of how many fights, just the other day, over a muddy hand print found on one of Cornelia's favourite tops, which some how got blamed on Caleb, it was an accident after all.
Then finally answering Drake's question he said "Yeah, I do"
The two friends sighed, now for an even harder question. Drake stepped forward. "Well do you feel any other, umm, connections, I guess with her?" he asked awkwardly.
Caleb started to chew on his bottom lip, a habit taken from Cornelia. "Ahh, no, no I don't think so" he said slowly, then nodding his head as if to agree with himself he answered, "No, just friends".
Both Drake and Aldarn smiled. "Good to see we haven't lost our friend into the crazy world of girls, just yet" joked Drake
"Okay, enough with all this sappy stuff, before you know we will be spinning thread all day, last one to the Palace is as nasty as Blunk's underarm!" challenged Aldarn, Drake laughed running down the hill after Aldarn.
Caleb was left to think over what he had just said, 'just friends ay? They why do I feel so unsettled'. Although the thought was quickly shrugged of after coming to the conclusion that it was just the up coming battle. He nodded his head once more "yep, just friends'. He then started down the hill heading towards the massive building to the east.
I Know that chappie wasn't very exciting, next one is going to be the fight! Thanks for reading, all reviews welcomed!
