How to say 'I love you'
Chapter 15: Horace
By RachelJhoson
In Meridean,
The portal leaded the guardians and Caleb to the little, poor village that was next to the dark castle of Phobos
Irma stared at it and shacked:
''Aw Phobos´s castle, as beautiful as always'' she said sarcastically.
''yeah, I was starting to miss visiting this creepy place'' Hay Lin joined, still staring at the castle. Caleb turned to her. He was about to grumble to her because of the little importance she was giving to the situation, but he decided to bit his tongue
''Can you see…or hear, an open door or window or something from where we can get into? '' He asked instead. The guardian smiled
''Over there'' The Asian pointed – an open window at the third floor, can you see it?''
Without waiting for an answer, she flew over it, and once she was there she checked if there was any guard near
''No danger over here guys, the window leads to the bathroom! '' She shouted, and with that, she got inside
Taranee sighed
''Okay then'' She turned to Irma, Will and Caleb ''Come on guys, let's go to save Cornelia ''she flew over the open window. With a sigh, Irma followed.
This left Will and Caleb alone
Will stared for a couple of seconds at the rebel and instantly he former vision of him lying dead on the floor next to the unhappy Cornelia appeared on her head gain. She gasped. She had not told Caleb yet about the part of her vision where she saw him die. She was too afraid to do so.
But he had to know…''he need to know his destiny'' The redhead thought unhappily. Then an idea came to her mind ''He has to stay away from the mission…perhaps that will save him''
But she wasn´t sure that would help that much… Caleb would never let it happen
What should she do?
Caleb turned to her
''Uh? Are you okay Will? ''He asked as she saw the leader of the guardians was completely lost in her thoughts. Will nodded softly
''Yes'' she lied with a broken voice '' everything is okay''
Caleb didn´t believe her, but gave it no importance. There were more important things to do than guessing why Will was acting weird
''Okay then'' He said'' We should get going, shouldn´t we?''
Will nodded once again, but she didn´t move. Caleb raised an eyebrow…¿what was wrong with her?
''This is when you carry me and take me to the window''he announced impatiently
Will stared at him with horror
'No, this is when my vision comes true…and you die' she thought shaking
''Will?'' She heard Caleb ask
''Will? Will are you hearing me? ''Caleb asked putting his arms on her shoulders and shaking her hardly, taking her back to the reality –Wake up woman! We got to go now!''
''N, No''Will finally said softly, making her decision –y, you are not going''
Caleb put his hands away from her
''What?! ''Caleb asked shocked –what the hell are you saying? We don´t have time for this Will Cornelia, needs us….
But Will was determinate not to let him die
''You won´t go to the castle, Caleb ''Will said sharply –You are not going, and that's the end''
Caleb stared at her with mad on his eyes
''I have no idea of what you are talking about, Will…but I don´t have time for your stupid 'leader decisions'! ''He shouted, totally out of himself
''please Caleb…there is something you don´t know…''
''What the hell are you talking about? Are you nuts? stop acting like a little girl for god's sake! The person I love is in great danger, don´t you see? ''
''Caleb'' Will tried to explain ''you don´t understand…there's…according to my vision…''
''according to your vision she is going to be oblished to marry some guy!!'' Caleb interrupted with a yell. Much to Will's anger
'' According to your vision she will be unhappy… according to your vision''
''You will die if you go, damn it! ''Will finally spitted out
Caleb stared at her with wide eyes. He didn´t saw that coming
''I. will. What? ''
Will nodded with her eyes full of tears and her hands shaking
''What you heard! In my vision I saw Cornelia about to marry that guys, and next to her…it´s you..l-laying on t-the floor of the c-church…'' She broke up in tears
''I don´t want you to die Caleb, I really don´t want you to…'' She cried as she hugged him tightly (A/N: Don´t get me wrong…they are just friends) Caleb didn´t even move, he stood there, lost in the millions that where coming through his head of thoughts
There was a moment of silence where the only things that could be heard where Will's sob and Caleb's deeps breaths
''Will! Caleb'' They heard a voice shout from the third floor. They both looked up to see Irma sitting on the window, yelling at them ''Bring you butts up here! Now! We don´t have much time!'' She cried in an authoritarian tone
Caleb turned to Will with unhappiness in his eyes
''let´s go'' He said. Will stared at him surprised, still shaking
''b-but Caleb…''
''I said, let´s go'' he ordered
In Arianda
''oh what a terrible headache…'' was the first thing Cornelia said when she woke up. She put both of her hands on her head in order to make the headache less painful.
She opened her eyes, weakly and had to Wink several times in order to get used to the sun light... Sun light?
No, I wasn´t sunlight, it was the orange sky…the sky of Arianda, that was the way Arianda looked during night. But Cornelia didn´t know that
When she recovered her vision completely, the first thing she saw was the roof. Under her neck she felt a comfortable thing …what was it? A pillow? Right. She was lying on a large white bed...She tried to remember how and when she went to that unknown bed, but all she could remember was she and Caleb talking at the school garden, then she was in Phobos castle and that Aaron king who asked her to marry him and then, nothing.
Her heart started to beat fastly when the last memory came to her mind. She had to get out of that place, now
''what the hell is this place?'' she asked to herself. Right, first she needed to know where she was '' and what am I doing here?'' She sat on the bed, so that he could take a better look of the room. The room where she was looked like a medieval one, the walls were made of stone and the only window there had no glass. Next to the bed, there was a tea table with a cup of tea and a piece of bread on it.
The place looked like a palace. It was a palace. King Aaron´s palace
''uhmm this place looks good'' Cornelia admitted ''perhaps with another table on the other side of the bed…'' Then she realized she was thinking nonsense and shocked her head in order to get those thoughts out of her head.
''focus Cornelia'' She ordered herself ''you must find a way to escape from here before that crazy man comes to marry you''
She got slowly out of the bed and walked in direction to the big, wooden door. She tried to open it, but it was locked.
''It´s locked'' But those words didn´t came from our blonde guardian. She turned to see who was saying that.
In the window, that was empty a second before, there was sitting a blond man of about 18 years with a purple tunic. He smiled at her
Instantly, Cornelia took her attack position
''let me go now!'' She ordered
'' Or what? '' He challenged her
''or this…'' Cornelia said and pointed at the tea table and concentrated. She was trying to throw it to the man. But at the moment the table was supposed to start to levitate, nothing happened
''What the hell? '' Cornelia asked staring at her palms with confusion ''what´s wrong with my powers?''
''They had been blocked'' The man answered casually, then he looked around the room ''all this room has magic, that is permanently absorbing your powers''
Cornelia stared at him, now with fear in her eyes
''w-who are you?'' The man got up from the window he was sitting in and made a step closer to the guardian. Cornelia instantly made a step back. The man noted this and smiled innocently
''you don´t need to be afraid of me'' he assured '' I won´t hurt you''
Cornelia ignored him
''just answer the question!'' she ordered
The boy stared at her for a couple of seconds
''as you wish, madam'' he said with a reverence ''my name is Horace, and soon I will be your…'' he sighed tiredly ''brother in law''
Cornelia Gasped. Her head was hurting again and her heart started to beat incredibly fast
''M-My what?'' she asked without air on her lungs
Then she remembered it all perfectly
Flashback
'' glad to meet you, Beautiful Earth guardian''
''It will be an honor to marry you''
'' King Aaron and I had made a negotiation, you will go to Ariadna and marry him, as he wishes so that I can steal your Friend's powers without your interference''.
End of Flashback
The recollection of those words was enough to make the beautiful girl fall on her knees, weakly. She began to sob
''I-I…this can´t be happening''
Horace stared at her with his brown eyes full of pity. Slowly, he made some steps closer to the guardian, and then sat on the floor next to her
''I´m truly heartbroken'' He said sincerely ''I wished you didn´t have to go thought all of this'' He put an arm across her shoulder. But Cornelia removed rudely it as she got up from the floor
'' Heartbroken?!'' She repeated angrily ''you are heartbroken?! What about me?! Do you know I'm about to marry that damned brother of yours who, by the way, I don´t even know?!''
''I…'' Horace began, but Cornelia ignored him
''Do you know my friend is about to be killed by her own brother, and because of this I can do nothing about it?! Do you know that my other friends may possibly be in danger too?!''
''yes I do, I…''
''Do you know I will never see my family again? Do you know that, the love of my life is…'' She couldn´t finish this sentence. Her legs started to shake. A Tear started to roll through her cheeks
''I will never see Caleb again'' She sobbed ''I will be stacked here as your brother´s wife…''
''I-I know it´s hard…'' Horace comforted her.
''You don´t even know me!'' Yelled Cornelia, with her palms on her eyes
''Actually, I do...since the day my brother saw you…he had done nothing but spy you, memorizing every single move you made, loving every part of you…'' Then Horace realized that what he was saying was not helping, so he shut up
''Shit! This is great! I had been having a stalker!'' Cornelia shouted with more tears on her eyes
There was a little silence, when the only thing that could be heard were Cornelia's sobs
''Since when does…your brother know me?'' Cornelia suddenly asked a bit more calm ''I've never met him'' She assured
'' You didn´t, but he did… six months ago, while we were visiting the streets of Meridean…he saw you and your friends in your guardian form'' He sighed ''He was crushed with you''
''six months!'' Exclaimed the guardian. Half of a year being watched by a Psychopath king and his brother? Oh god!
''this is unbelievable''
''you can say that again'' Horace assured ''I have told him a million times to marry a girl from here…every single girl on the world would be glad to marry him, but you..''
''You don´t agree with this marry?'' Cornelia raised an eyebrow
''Of course not!'' Exclaimed the man. Cornelia smiled; it was good to know he was not completely a 'bad guy'
Horace, continued…showing his arguments of why he disagreed with his brother
'' you are from other world…you don´t know him at all and…'' He made a pause ''you are in love with someone else''
Cornelia stared at her for a couple of seconds
''he knows that?''
''He has known it since the moment he met you…he could see it…the way you both spoke to each other, saw each other'' He sighed '' but he don´t care, he wants you…no matter what, he is even going to give to Phobos the heart of Arianda, the heart that gives life and power to our world, just to get you ''
''that son of a bitch! '' Cornelia shouted out of herself ''how can he do that? Now your world is going to be under darkness just because he wants me?! What kind of king is he?''
'A very very bad one' Horace thought…but he remained silence
''Why is he the king, anyway?'' Cornelia asked curiously .Horace stared at her with surprise. Cornelia explained herself ''you are his brother and I guess you are older than him'' She explained '' I mean… shouldn´t that mean you can also be king?''
Horace sighed
''When my father died, he left the kingdom to his favorite son…of course you can imagine who his favorite son was''
''oh'' Cornelia said '' I'm really sorry, I don´t really know you…but I bet you would be a ten times better king than he is''
Horace smiled at her
''I wished my father would have thought the same way you do'' He sighed. Cornelia also did, her unhappiness was written all over her pretty face
''You are a nice person, Cornelia Hale'' Horace suddenly said ''I really wish I could…let you free'' Cornelia looked up
''you can´t do it?'' the blonde asked hopeless
''No'' He answered sadly ''the power that keeps you in this room it´s too powerful for me to break it''
''oh''
''I really wished I could'' Horace assured
''I believe you'' Cornelia smiled, with a little tear on her eye

In Meridean
''Over here guys'' Said Taranee once Will and Caleb joined them to the bathroom of the castle. She pointed the door ''I have already checked the corridor; there are no guards there and… Caleb are you okay?'' She said suddenly when she realized the rebel's face was as white as the snow
''yes why?'' Caleb asked fastly, trying to hide his true feelings
''geez boy you are as pale as the death itself'' Joked Irma
''That's funny'' Caleb said casually ''considering the fact that I'll die soon''
Irma, Hay Lin and Taranee stared at him with their mouths opened
''W-what?! '' Hay Lin yelled. Taranee put a finger on her lip in order to silent her
''Shh! They will hear us!''
''What? '' Repeated Hay Lin but in a lower tone of voice ''what the hell are you saying, Caleb?''
Caleb raised an eyebrow
''you guys didn´t knew the rest of Will´s vision?'' He asked. His voice sounded totally natural, which really surprised Will
The three guardians turned to Will, who stared at them with devastated eyes
''Caleb…will die…in the church where Cornelia will get married''

In Arianda
Aaron was on his balcony, staring calmly at the sky. Happiness was written all over his cute face. After months of spying her, following her, and loving her…the earth guardian, or Cornelia, which was the name he would have to use from now on, was going to be his.
''Forever and ever Cornelia'' He sighed
At that moment Horace appeared behind him
''My king'' Horace made a reverence
''ah Horace'' The king said pleasantly without taking his look out of the sky ''is everything ready?''
''yes my lord'' the blond nodded unhappily ''in a couple of hours everything will be ready''
''good'' answered Aaron with a little smile. Horace was about to leave, but Aaron spoke again
''may I ask you, big brother, why you don´t share my happiness?''
''I'm sorry If I can be happy because you are giving up our heart, just because of a girl, who by the way doesn´t want to marry you'' Horace pouted. Aaron turned to him, just to show him another of his terrifying smiles
''pity'' He said shaking his head '' I was about to ask you to be my best man, but now…I guess I don´t want you to go to the wedding'' Horace frowned as his brother added ''in fact, I don´t want you to check at my future wife anymore, I will send another guard…someone that really agree with my desitions''
''What?'' said Horace ''b-but''
''I don´t want you to give my wife any crazy idea of how to escape '' Interrupted Aaron with calm and then he turned again to the balcony '' that's all, you can leave now''
Horace didn´t move for a couple of seconds. He took his time to frown at the king once again and the he turned to leave
''someone that agrees with you…'' Repeated Horace irritated ''good luck at finding that someone'' he murmured angrily
