Will nodded, but the tone of Caleb's voice told her not to believe him. He didn't believe him. "Maybe it got scared, or hungry, or- WOAH!"

The clashing of metal on metal, mixed with the girls shrieks and Caleb's had led to Will blushing furiously as she let go of his shirt; having fisted material from back and chest as she'd jumped against his arm. He was smiling. Baring teeth. Laughing, silently at her as she wrenched away from his body as jerkily as she'd attached. She glared at him through a moody frown, hissing under her breath as the girls looked around for the 'beast'. "Shut up Caleb, you were scared too!"

"Mmm..?" Caleb was searching too; his eyes roaming the room as he pressed his lips tight together to hide his childish smile. Sure it wasn't in his periferal vision, Caleb glanced at her, smiling sweetly and sardonic. "I didn't say anything."

Something seemed to smash into Caleb from the side, causing him to fly up before crashing back to the ground, and Will's heart to lurch as she realized there was.. Nothing. Caleb swept fingers through his hair as Will darted the light of her torched around the room, "I didn't see anything.."

He craned his neck either side, trying, but failing to get a crack as he smiled through his discomfort. "When it gets upset it becomes translucent.."

"WOW!" Will thought fast and quickly looked left; the right of her forhead hitting hard tiles as she flew head first into the floor. She felt cold, wet and sore. Very sore. She'd have hoped for a hand up, but Hay Lin and Cornelia were busy shrieking, Caleb standing.. Doing nothing.

"Shht!" Will automatically held her breath, not entirely sure why, but her instint reaction to the command. "You can only see it when it's calm! Don't move."

Will froze completely, not even breathing as the torch shone brightly on the corner of the room, where the air seemed to solidify and.. Change. It almost looked like a pig. A proper hog, with eyes propped up on tentacles and a heavy stream of purple.. Ew, spit? She was covered in it. "That's what did all this?"

"It's a juvenil'." Caleb grabbed Will's arm, pulling her to her feet slowly; his eyes on the pig. It was a child? It was pretty small, but Will hated to think what the adults might be capable of..

"Aww! It's so cuuute!" Will made a face and Caleb snorted, leaving her wonder whether he'd seen her, though she'd had no intention of him seeing the disgusted warp of her features, "Can we keep it?"

"Sure.." Will felt her face fall, her entire body sluping now an instant reaction to hearing Cornelia's sarcasm as it prepared her victim. Cornelia didn't joke. She spat. "Why don't we be Guardians of the Veil and raise a slimy, invisABLE PIG!"

"WAAAHHH!" Will jumped beside Caleb, recieving a hand on her shoulder as Hay Lin was attacked by the swine; the grip failing to reassure when it tightened due to the pig carrying Hay Lin alone and slamming her upside down into a wall. "Bad pig."

Will pulled out the Heart, Caleb stepping back as she called out, "Guardians unite!"

...

"Okay! Easy now!" Caleb shook his head as Hay Lin tentavely reached her hand out to the Hermeneuta beast. As he silently predicted, the beast's visability wilted and Hay Lin had to fly up to dodge the beast, and the trail of saliva it left.

"EARTH!" Caleb had to step back as several large bricks slid a little too close to where he'd stood, supposedly providing a protective barrier. He didn't see much protection in Cornelia removing his face.

The dust rose as the Hermeneuta beast slammed into the wall; knocking over the uncemented bricks with ease, and lunging as him, while Will nervously rattled in the background, "This is 'fun', but how do we get it closer to the portal?"

"Aahh!" Caleb felt the Hermeneuta clench on his shin - the thing was certainly strong enough to pull him along, as proved as he began skidding forward, legs first. "It's got my leg!"

"Leave him alone you slimeball!" Caleb grinned as he tried to pry his leg away, tempted to ask her to whom she was talking. In a second her arms were linked under his arms, wrapped around his chest as she tried to pull him away. He could picture her delicate wings flapping desperately, floundering though, under the Hermeneuta's heavy strength. He could hear her effort in her voice, as she dug her feet into the ground beside him.

A gush of wind brought about a tornado, and he could hear Hay Lin giggling as they were forced to fly in an endless circle; only then did he realize that Cornelia had also been tugging, Will's hand released his torso, her hand trying to keep a hold as she yelled out for Hay Lin to stop, her voice lost in the wind. "Stop! It's gone!"

Hay Lin obviously heard his attempt, his body suddenly falling hard against the tiles, immediately joined by Will, laid out on top of him. He barely met eyes and grinned before Cornelia joined the bodily pile up. Cornelia and Will stood up, but by the time he was on his feet Will had already gone. "Who left the door open!"

"Will?" Caleb ran, the girls flying where Will's heavy footsteps had led, pushing open a swinging door and finding Will standing in the center of the corridor, staring out at a drool covered floor and wall of lockers. He frowned at the door at the end of the corridor - swinging slightly from the momentum of the Hermeneuta - and he felt the energy heighten as Will detransformed them.

"Get the mops."
