Alrighty, so I spent most of my computer time today doing research (a.k.a. reading the comic, teehee) so there's no much, but I'm torn between special and non as you'll see below. I've taken note of the lack of Phobos in my previous specials, but I think I can get him into this one for some verbal Caleb-bashing and evil plans.
THE BIG QUESTION
Do we want Divide and Conquer now, or do we want to have a special The Prophecy's Child?
And yes, you have to blank vote it (vote without summary) with no information other than that it's WxC and some Caleb-nformation, plus Will-nformation regarding her guardianness..
PM or review!
You have 18hrs to vote people! My Scottish clock says it's roughly 2pm, so I'll wait until 8am tomorrow to decide so I have time to finish any details of my plan for whichever you choose!
With the Tracker and his dog left hanging from Cornelia's tree, Will walked along next to their group. Surprise, surprise, Cornelia seemed eager to talk. Will held back the urge to point out Cornelia had planned to fly until Caleb had dismissed her.
"We met some villagers. They led us out of the castle."
"I can't stop thinking about how horrible our lives are under Phobos!"
"They gave us their own food!"
Will trailed behind, her eyes on her surroundings. She knew Caleb was probably keeping lookout anyway, but after the night she'd had, she was on edge.
"They're good people. Don't worry," Will caught a glance from Caleb and her eyes narrowed. She had noticed that he was constantly doing that. Checking her. She supposed it was probably due to him having to save her frozen ass at least twice already. "In the days to come, you'll have plenty of chances to repay them."
She let her mind wander then. To the last few weeks. Caleb seemed much nicer when they were together earlier, and he had actually been smiling -like a genuinely happy smile- when they'd walked from the castle to the Tracker. She wondered if maybe he was homesick. It may have only been about a week or so, but Will knew from her personal moving experience, that the first few days were the worst. She didn't miss home so much. But that was different.

"HEY!" Elyon sprinted forward; her plaits flying behind her as she whirled around in front of the girl. "Hey! Where'd you guys go yesterday! You just left me in that store!"
Cornelia's eyes bulged and she scrated her head, "Elyon, I am so sorry! My mind was in another world.."
Elyon refused to give up like that and pouted, crossing her arms and turning away, "You've been doing this alot lately! Are we bestfriends or what?"
"Of course we are!" Cornelia wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and Elyon dropped her head. "C'mon, let me buy you a doughnut."
Elyon refused to look up, and mumbled into her friend's shoulder, "You know I don't eat doughnuts."
"Yeah.." Elyon stole a glance, and saw a glint in Cornelia's eyes as the blondes smile widened, "But there's a really cute guy selling!"
"A really cute guy?" Eylon looked up at her friend curiously. She could never resist a really cute guy..

"I apologise." Taranee stood to attention in front of her R.S. teacher, ignoring his sloppy attire ( his suit jacket buttoned up wrong and his tie hanging out, plus one leg of his trousers tucked into his yellow and red polka-dotty socks).
"For what?" Taranee watched Mr Pudington scratch his head.
"For making such a big deal out of an essay.." Taranee mumbled the next part, "And for attempting to make the principle suspend you without pay.. Heh heh.."
"Ahh.." Taranee cringed at Mr Pudington's puzzled expression. He really shouldn't be allowed to teach. Not even Religion and Myth. "Well, I apologise for leaving your essay in my fridge and bringing a pound of ham to school instead."
"What." Taranee's jaw dropped, but Mr Pudington didn't seem to notice.
"Here." He shoved the crushed papers into her arms. "A perfect paper. Your description of the labyrinth is outstanding. Almost as if you were there!"
Taranee laughed nervously.'Wonder what it'd be like if I wrote one now..'
...
"Have you had a chance to look at the menu?" Caleb smiled charmingly at the young woman and Yan Lin's eyebrows raised a little when the woman blushed. She had to have been at least thirty.
The woman opened her menu, with her eyes glued to Caleb and Yal Lin smiled. She had watched long enough to know that Caleb's patience wouldn't last long, but was surprised as he held his own. Perhaps ladies did not bother him as the men and families had, though her suspitions with Will did not faulter. He had insisted that he did not mean that he wanted her, and Yan Lin had no doubt that he was telling the truth. But she was also very aware that at a young age, boys often couldn't control themselves. They were brash, dishonest and greedy at the best of times and Caleb was not unknowing of the Heart around Will's neck.
When the thirty-something finally dragged her eyes away to read the order options she instantly droppped the menu with a small scream. Yan Lin rushed forward as Caleb picked up the menu. He sighed and held it up for her to see. "Blunk."
