Daughter of the Heart

Will then saw Maya wake up the next morning and was worried. She had a feeling Valia was nearby. The young snake girl had enrolled in Maya's kindergarten class and had became her human form. She hoped that nobody would guess or find out what she was.

But Matt had heard from Caleb that the young snake girl was in his daughter's class.

"I won't let her get hurt by Cedric's daughter." he thought as he became Shagon and flew off...

Phobos smiled seeing Cedric's daughter at Maya's school. He had a feeling his henchman's daughter was making her own plan but wasn't sure. He knew Valia had a weak heart which made it impossible for her to help them but maybe things were different....

Maya wondered who the new girl in her class was but the other kids were avoiding her. Valia had black pigtails, green eyes and wore a dress. She hoped that Cedric wouldn't find out what she was doing.

"Are you okay?" Maya asked softly as Valia looked up at her but felt the Heart of Candracar's twin aura from her.

"I-I'm Valia.

I moved here." she told her.

Maya nodded in reply.

But to her, Valia looked sad.

But then Maya began to feel weird as the Heart of Candracar began to act strange within her.

"What's...... going..... on?" Maya thought as she fell asleep.

Will had a feeling that something was wrong but Matt stopped her.

"I'll go, okay?" he told her turning into Shagon and flying off. He had a feeling that Cedric's daughter had got to Maya and would hand her over to Phobos and her father.

"I hope I'm not too late." he thought landing at Heatherfield Elementary. Valia was standing outside as a portal appeared as Phobos walked out of it.

"Good girl.

I knew one day you would be useful now give me the little Keeper of the Heart." the cold hearted prince told her but Valia hesitated. Cedric had anger in his eye slits as he approached his daughter but Valia began to back away.

"N-No!" she said running off with Maya.

Matt flew after her but Cedric followed them but was hit by a fireball as Will and the other Guardians of the Veil showed up.

He growled at them in anger.

"You again!

Why won't you leave me and my master Phobos to take over?" the snake man hissed in anger as Will hit him with lightening blasts which sent him flying.

"Let's go find Matt." Will said to them as they flew off....

Matt was nervous as he'd followed Valia to the park. He wondered what she would do with his and Will's daughter but didn't want to think about that as the Guardians of the Veil showed up. Will looked pretty freaked as Matt hugged her.

"Where is she?

Is she okay?" she asked him but he didn't know. But Hay Lin heard the sound of crying come from the playhouse in the park playground and knew where Vaila was.

"P-Please don't hurt me!" the snake girl pleaded with tears running from her eye slits. Will saw her daughter still asleep on the floor.

"Don't worry I didn't hurt her or take the Heart of Candracar from her." she said scared of the older Keeper of the Heart.

"Will she's telling the truth!" Hay Lin told her as the other Guardians agreed with her as Will still felt the Heart's presence in Maya.

"Why..... did you take her?" Taranee asked softly showing the snake girl she could trust her.

"T-To make my Daddy Cedric happy. He always thinks I'm weak or useless so that's why I had to do it but I didn't want to give her to Phobos. She was the only human who's ever talked to me before and was nice to me but I don't want to go back to Meridian, I want to stay here!" she answered sadly.

Suddenly the Heart of Candracar appeared in Will's hand and glowed brightly with pink light indicating they were going to see the Oracle.

Vaila then saw the beauty of Candracar and was in awe. Will saw Yan Lin appear with the Oracle. She looked happy as she saw Vaila. Hay Lin smiled seeing her grandmother which was one of the reasons she loved this world.

"Why've you brought us here?

I don't understand." Will said as Matt had Maya in his gold skinned arms. The Oracle sighed. He knew she was thinking about Maya and her being the Keeper of the Heart of Candracar's twin and worried about Phobos trying to get his hands on her.

"Don't worry Will.

She'll be safe as long as Candracar protects her and if you let her face her destiny.

I know you want her to be a normal child but the life of the Keeper of the Heart of Candracar is never easy.

She is strong like you." he told her as Vaila trembled. He knew that the snake girl had nearly did something wrong but had done the right thing by not giving her to Phobos.

He knew that she hated being in Meridian but had an idea......
