Chapter 7: To Meridian
After Cornelia called Will they arranged to meet behind the Silver Dragon so that Will could open a portal there where no one could see them. After she made the portal they all stepped in one by one.
"Now, where are you mother and father?" Taranee asked.
"They're at my old home." said Caleb, he remembered the times he spent as a kid playing in their garden and being taught sword lessons by his father. He also remembered the time he taught his little brother how to handle a sword and how to use one if needed.
"To Caleb's old home." said Irma as she pointed to who knew where. Even for a grown-up Irma was still the goofy Irma everyone knew and loved.
"Umm… Irma my house is over here." said Caleb with a smile as he pointed the other way.
"Oh, I knew that." she said and began to follow the others. After a while of walking they found the house. It was surrounded by trees and a huge garden stood at the entrance of the house. "Finally, we're here." said Hay Lin. Caleb opened the door and found that the furniture was knocked down and the curtains were all ripped. He also found several arrows stuck in the furniture and on the walls. "What the heck happened here?" asked Cornelia.
"No, this isn't happening." said Caleb as he went running into the kitchen. He's biggest fear was happening right there and then. Once he entered the kitchen he found a note which read;
Dear guardians,
We took the rebel leader's mother and father. We will exchange them with the earth guardian.
Meet us at the palace at sundown or else you'll lose more than a mother and father. If you don't bring us
the earth guardian we will hunt down every relative that you know and love. Come alone or risk a funeral or two.
Yours sincerely,
Prince Phobos.
Once Caleb read the note, he fell onto a chair that was behind him and just held his head in his hands. How could have he captured my parents? I told them to keep a low profile until the war is over. he thought. Just then he heard Cornelia say, "I'll do it, Caleb. You don't have to worry about anything. We'll set them free."
"No, Cornelia you're not going anywhere." said Caleb, "I've abandoned the war so that I could keep you safe and sound and I won't let you walk into his palace to endanger your life or the babies' lives for that matter."
"But Caleb, he took your parents and I know how dear your parents are to you." said Cornelia, "You have to let me do this. We need to save them."
"I know. But I'm not risking your life. I'll do it myself if I have too." said Caleb as he got up from the chair and made his way to Cornelia, "You have to trust me on this one."
"I do trust you Caleb but I'm still going whether you like it or not." she said as she grabbed his hand and looked deep into his eyes. She saw that he was hurt, afraid and furious at the same time, "It's our responsibility to keep everyone safe and that's what I'm going to do."
"I'm with Corny." said Irma.
"Me too." said Hay Lin.
"Me three." said Taranee.
"So am I and besides Caleb, if anything goes wrong we'll be there to help in anyway that we can." said Will.
"See Caleb, there's nothing to worry about." she said as Caleb turned around, "We'll free them and we'll also get the other prisoners far away from the prison. So it's a win-win situation."
"Ok, fine. But I don't like this one bit." he said.
"Well, so do I and the others, but we have to do it." said Cornelia as she gave him a reassuring smile.
"Fine, but if he sees us we're done for." said Caleb in a worried voice.
"If he sees us he's gonna get one hell of a fight." Irma said with an evil smile.
"Hay Lin, can you make us invisible so that he can't see us?" asked Will, praying that the plan would work.
"I don't know. I've never taken up that many people before but I'll try." said Hay Lin.
"Ok so it's settled we'll met at that bastard's palace at sundown." said Will.
In the Palace:
"Sire, why may I ask do you want the earth guardian?" Cedric asked while bowing as low as he could, "She's not that important next to the red headed guardian."
"Because my loyal servant, when I was in Candracar and I escaped from my cell and I went into a room. There I found a pool which could show you the future." said Phobos, feeling proud of the way he escaped from Candracar.
"And what did you see, sire?" asked Cedric as he bowed even lower, if possible.
"I saw the earth guardian and the rebel leader's children and they were fighting my offspring." he said as he got up of the throne.
"But sire how do you know that they were the earth guardian and the rebel leader's children and how do you know that they were fighting your offspring?" asked Cedric as he got up from his positon.
"Because they looked exactly like me and the earth guardian and the rebel leader. And that's why I took the rebel leader's mother and father so that after the babies are born I'll kill the earth guardian." He said and laughed evilly followed by Cedric's evil laugh, which wasn't that great for an evil villain. "Don't ever do that." said Phobos.
"Yes, sire." Cedric said, embarrassed as hell. "But I still have one question, sire."
"And what is it?" asked Phobos getting a bit frustrated with Cerdic's questions.
"Who is the mother of your offspring?" Cedric asked.
"Nerissa. And if you're wondering how I know that it's because I saw her in the background of the fight." said Phobos as he resumed his position on the throne and smiled evilly at his plan.
At Sun down:
After Will told them the plan she transformed them into full guardian form. "Ok Hay Lin do your thing." said Will. Hay Lin closed her eyes and grabbed the others hands, all except for Cornelia,and concentrated hard. After a minute or two they we're all invisible. Cornelia made her way to the palace gate where she meet two guards. Caleb had his hands ready on his sword and he could feel his heart pounding inside his chest. Cornelia was too far away to be heard but Hay Lin still could hear what they were saying. "Wait, were are Caleb's mother and father?" Cornelia asked as she broke free from their grip.
"Oh them? There safe. In the dungeons" said one of the guards as they laughed and grabbed Cornelia's wrists and dragged her until they reached the gate which was then opened from teh inside. Caleb struggled to break free from the guardian's grip but once he was free Will grabbed one of his arms and said: "Caleb, calm down she'll be fine." he stopped trying to break free but he got out his sword ready to fight. "She's been in worse places than this, she can handle it." The others followed the guards and Cornelia until they were in the palace.
"Take her to Prince Phobos." the guard ordered. He handed her to another, much bigger guard and went back to his post. The bigger guard was ugly, smelly and was wearing armor that was way too small for his size. He took Cornelia and held her by her shoulders. For the first time in her life she felt afraid to face Phobos, which was kind of strange to her because she never got afraid.
"We have to stop them Will." Caleb whispered while he shook Will, "If she gets hurt I'll never forgive myself for putting her in this kind of danger."
"Caleb, calm down she can take care of her self. There is no need to shake me every time we stop." said Will as she broke free from his grasp, "I know that you're worried, afraid and anxious to get her back but we'll get her back I promise." Will remembered the first time she saw Matt in Meridian and how scared he was to be in a strange world like this and she also remembered how afraid she was that he would have hurt himself.
In The Throne Room:
Cornelia was taken, well more dragged, by the guard to the throne room where he was ordered to take her. He knocked on the great oak doors that separated the Throne room to the rest of the palace and then entered. As they entered the throne room Cornelia heard Cedric speak: "Put her in that chair and hand cuff her to it." he put his hand in his sleeve like an old Chinise man would. The guards did as they were told and then left the room all except for the big ugly one. Doesn't he know that I can break rope and even steal? Cornelia thought as she let the ugly guard hand cuff her to the chair.
"Ah my dear. How nice is it that you could come. Would I interess you in some water or tea?" Phobos asked, he showed his face from the dark and revealed that he was smirking. He laughed to himself because his plan was working perfectly.
"Cut the crap Phobos and set Caleb's mother and father free." said Cornelia, "It is what you said you would do."
"I don't think that I'll do that. But, I think they couldbe out that cockroach cell and move into a much smaller cell." Phobos said as he laughed evilly he stopped when Cornelia spoke up. "Are you done yet? Or are you to twisted to know that you're boring me to death." said Cornelia as she smirked at her own little joke.
"You're just jealous that you don't know how to laugh evilly." he said as he made his way down the stairs from his thrown.
"What do you want with me?" asked Cornelia as she pretended to struggle to break free.
"Well, my dear I want your babies. And after I take them I'm going to kill you. But we have to wait." he said as he sat down in front her.
"No, you're not, cause Caleb and the guardian's are coming." said Cornelia.
"Guards, take her to her room." said Cedric as two guards entered the door. Just as the guards entered, Cornelia broke the metal rope that binded her to the chair .
Outside:
Caleb and the guardian's were hiding behind a Colum as they heard the guards talk. "I can't take it anymore." said Taranee, "If I hear one more thing about this guards love life I'll burn myself alive" and got up from where she was and went near the guards. Once she was behind them she shoot fire balls at them and left them unconscious on the floor. After they were on the floor Hay Lin made them visible again. "Come on, let's take their armour and pretend that we're guards so we can save Cornelia." said Taranee as she passed down the armour.
"Cool thinking, Tara and I think that Phobos is calling." said Hay Lin as she put on the armour it smelled horrible but there was nothing they could have done except put the armour on.
With Cornelia:
What have I gotten my self into? She asked her self as she broke free from the metal rope and rubbed her sore wrists. There is only one thing that I'm not going to do. And that thing is to give my babies to a monster like that. she thought while rubbing her stomach and thinking about her unborn babies. Once Cedric yelled for the guards to come in he faded in the shadows and then she got up.
"Unhand me you filthy scum." she said as she struggled to break free, "I said to unhand me you damn guards." Just as she was going to hit them in the head one of the guards spoke: "Cornelia, it's us." just then they took off their helmets and their armour to reveal that it was Caleb and her friends.
"Oh, thank god it's you. There were gonna take our babies, Caleb." she said as she sobbed in his shoulder, "We can't let that happen."
"Don't worry I won't. Beause today it's going to end once and for all." Caleb said and clutched his hands in fury.
"C'mon, let's go to the dungeons and free your parents." said Will.
"Ok, and after there're safe at home I'm coming here and I'm gonna kill Phobos and Cedric for what they've done." Caleb said and made his way to the dungeons followed by the others.
