Just want you guys to know, I've been going over WxC ideas in my Study period this morning, and Will's Birthday will obviously have some. And I've decided to add an episode which will be called "Caleb's Liaison" as ep 06. Ep 08: A Service to the Community is the main thing I spent my time on though. I have written a full on WxC chapter for it and I'm very proud and can't wait to post it! (actually it's more CxW as it's all Caleb)!
I've also had some astral drop ideas and a whole 'dream thing' and overall the entire WxC thing is shaping up nicely in my head.
Let me know if you have any requests of a certain scenario.. eg. Kissing in the rain (though that is so cliché!) and I'll add it in. Please refrain from asking for 'lemon' though. I'm thinking about it, and if I do it, it'll be able to fit so reading is optional and it doesn't have too many ties to the storyline.
For one to find who their true friends are..
It takes two steps..
First, screw up..
And then see who's left.
...The castle...
Will peeked out from under her hood and looked at Caleb, who turned away from her as soon as she'd made eye contact. She frowned and whispered, "This place gives me the creeps. Just hide the key and let's get out of here without being noticed!"
"What a shame. I intended on being caught." Caleb muttered sarcastically. "And anyway, it's gonna be real easy; what with five girls tagging along."
"Hey!" Will pointed an accusing finger at his back, "We are not tagging along, Mr 'Brave hero'." He whipped his head around angrily.
"Shhh!" He glared at her. "Why didn't I just bring a sack full of screaming cats!"
Will rolled her eyes as Cornelia and Irma caught up, scratching. "Ew, these things are itchy!" Irma then pulled out a tiny flea and eyeballed it.
"Is this blood-sucking creature what I think it is?"
Will glanced over and smiled, raising her index finger to her lips and whispering, "Don't say anything! Or they'll hear Taranee's screaming back at school."
The group paused behind Caleb, who was pressed against the wall, but Cornelia continued on, passing an open area filled with eating guards. "I just hope this is wool, or linen, because I don't know what it is about synthetic fibers, but they give me such a-" Cornelia stopped and turned to see the guards' eating area. Full. She forgot how to breathe. Frozen where she stood. Caleb mentally kicked himself as the other girls ran to join her where she stood.
The guards and other beasts ran towards the girls to attack and the five removed their cloaks dramatically. Four flew off and Will simply ran, avoiding them. 'What is she doing! Why isn't she flying! She's going to be killed!' Caleb's mind swam with questions, but he had no time. A guard jumped him and he easily kicked him behind, swinging from his feet to his back, then jumping up again. He straightened his helmet; the thing was far too big for him, and drew his sword as another beast approached.
The girls had also began fighting; Hay Lin nimbly flew between creatures, causing them to hit each other when they missed her. Taranee's fear had diminished: she threw fire balls and circles of heavy flames toward the mosters. A flame licked the front of one guard's shield and he threw it from his burned hand. It rolled and bounced past Caleb, who caught it with practiced skill and slammed it onto the head of his current opponent, climbing and jumping from him with another pair of targets in sight.
Cornelia was at a loss. "I can do flower pots.. No, no! Let's try the tables!" She waved her hand and the table came to life. She flew up and span gleefully as guards backed away from the now animated wood. Caleb flew past her and swung from the chandelier.
Will gasped at the two guards who were suddenly approaching; she was freezing up again.
Caleb smashed into the pair of guards with aim, smiling at the sight of the Keeper, who had cowered and jumped as the beasts hit the wall. As he turned to walk away, Will - who had been scared out of her petrified state - picked up some kind of bags, tied together with rope. She had no idea what they were, but they were heavy! She began spining them to create momentum, before releasing them and watching as they ricocheted off of Caleb's helmet; knocking it off of the rebel.
Something hit off Caleb's head and flew into the chandeleir, taking it to the ground and knocking out several guards in the process. Caleb rubbed his head - partially because of the impact against it, and parcially from confusion. He looked over his shoulder to see Will, dizzily stumbling. She caught his eye and grinned, giving him a thumbs up.
Cornelia smashed through the guard, taking down anything in her path, until a large hand grabbed her by the foot and threw her to the ground. "Looks like we're gonna have to clip those wings!" The table smacked into the speaking guard and Cornelia got up, beaming.
"Table for one!" The table continued fighting under Cornelia's control, taking many guards down.
Will ran past the air and water guardians shouting, "Irma! Hay Lin! Let's wrap this up!"
Irma smothered the guards in water and Hay Lin blew over an icy breeze - freezing the guards where they stood. "OH! GUARDSICKLES! I LIKE IT!" Irma mock-examined the frozen monsters.
"Okay, we've bought ourselves about ten minutes."
"THIS WAY!" Caleb knew the murmurers would have caught on by now, if not when they first arrived. The girls followed after their leader as Will took route after Caleb.
"They say it falls forever." Raythor kicked a loose stone down the Abyss of Shadows. "Say hello to the other conspiritors for me!"
"Actually, you can do that yourself!" At this moment Will made her presence known, running towards him and punching him hard enough to knock him out.
Taranee then used fire to distract and lull the unintelligent Lurden into unconciousness. Caleb moved out of the shadows, catching Vathek's attention. "CALEB!"
"Easy! Easy!" He approached the murmur-boy, placing his hands on the rebel leader's shoulders. Caleb turned to the guardians and motioned to them. "Vathek. These are the guardians of the veil." Greetings ensude and Hay Lin stepped forward.
"You sure don't look like a good guy!"
"Hay Lin!" Will warned with a forboding tone in her voice.
Vathek however smiled with confusion, "Uh, thank you?"
"I brought the key." Caleb held it out to Vathek who only shook his head.
"Eh, too late. They've searched everywhere. They know it's not here. It's sudden reappearance can do me no good now."
"Or maybe it can." Caleb and Vathek looked around to the guardian; Caleb's brow furrowing in confusion, whilst Vathek's raised. "I have an idea. Call out an alarm!"
"What!" Vathek and Caleb exchanged a look, and Caleb rolled his eyes to imply craziness.
Will was too busy to notice however, waving her hands in gestures as she replied, "Scream for help. Y'know, 'Guardians in the castle!', that sorta thing." She walked up to Caleb, her arm outstretched. "The key."
He handed the key and Vathek began yelling, "GUARDIANS! GUARDIANS! GUARDIANS IN THE CASTLE!" Will tucked the key into Raythor's holster, and Caleb raised an eyebrow. It just might work.
Will took Vathek's arm, laying him down on the ground. "Now don't move!"
The six stood, waiting for the crowds of guards and Lurdens which soon, no doubt, would approach. Cedric was behind them and hissed in frustration at a familiar face, "Caleb.. SSSEIZE THEM!"
Cornelia raised her hands to the rock above them, causing an avalanche over the enemy. Hay Lin blew up a sand storm and by the time Cedric could see, the intruders of the castle had gone.
