Man, the previous chapter had me thinking, but now I can continue with a new chapter here. So let the story continue:
Chapter 12 : Robberies
Irma and the girls were heading to the park for picninc. 'Make sure all of the food is in there, and no eating before we reach the park.' Will said. Irma was carrying the basket, since the girls were having a sleepover at her house, so she had to carry her picnic basket.
'If I can bear it. Man, this basket weights a tonne!' Irma complained.
'We're almost there,' Hay Lin said. They then walk across the street and into the park. They walk around to find the perfect spot for them. They found a shade under a tree with a nice view of the park. Irma then put the basket on the ground and lay beside it. 'Next time, remember to bring Matt along,' she said. Will then noticed Matt was walking around at the park. When he noticed Will, he then ran towards them.
'What a coincidence. I was heading to your house,' Matt said while holding Will's hands.
'See! We should had wait for a few more minutes,' Irma complain which the others look at her.
'What was she talking about?' Matt asked while he sat beside Will.
'Oh, nothing. Anyway, wanna join us for lunch?' Will asked before Irma took out the icnic blanket and Hay Lin taking out the plates.
'Sure, since I haven't had any meal yet,' Matt stomach began to growl, which Will giggled.
'Finally, now to dig in,' Irma said before getting the food out from the basket. She was about to eat one of the sandwich when Cornelia glare her not to. Irma then put the sandwich onto the plate which Cornelia smirk.
'Okay, everything set, let's eat.' Hay Lin said. Will and Matt then joined them while Irma tried her best to eat any of the food.
They were having their lunch, having fun, talked about gossip and not worrying about anything. Irma then remembered she had to do something. 'Guys, I need to head home first. My dod told me to get home by three cause one of his friend will be handing him some kind of parcel.' Irma then got up before grabbing a sandwich.
'Bye Irma, we'll be there by five,' Hay Lin said before Irma left for home.
Lia-Hin was observing the guardians. He then noticed Irma was heading home, so he called out to Cedric. 'Cedric, it's time.' he said while he open a fold to Heatherfield. Cedric then transform into his human form before crossing the fold and found himself outside his bookshop. But he didn't entered the bookshop, instead he was heading somewhere else.
Irma was walking back to her house, wondering who will be coming later. Once she reached her door, she unlock it and head inside. She then lock the door and head to the kitchen to grab some snack.
Cedric was heading into a cave. While he was walking halfway, he spotted two black cars and a black van. When he walked even closer, a group of gangsters was surrounding him. 'What do you want here mister,' one of the gangster asked.
'I would like you to do a favour for me,' Cedric said, which a figure then appeared from the shadows.
'What kind of favour?' he asked.
'Have you ever a rob a policeman house before?' the gangster were looking at each other.
'You request was tempting mister, but we would try,' he said.
'There is this house where the family had left for some kind of vacation. And they left their daughter at home alone,' Cedric then heard some laughter from the gangsters.
'All right, give me the address to this house and what would you want from us?'
'Oh, just the girl.' Cedric then left, leaving the gangsters getting ready to head to the house they were given.
Irma was grabbing a can of soda and was heading to the living room. She on the t.v. and sat by the couch. She took her soda and open it. She then change the channel to find out what to watch. 'Of all the channels and still nothing to watch!' Irma complained. When she was about to grab her bowl of chips, she heard some kind of screeching outside. She wonder what could it be, but she didn't care. Then, she heard some footsteps nearby the door, so she went to check it out. When she look out the window, she was shocked. Then, one of the gangster spotted her and grin. 'Man, she is pretty,' one of them said. Irma was then hurried to the house phone, but when she put the receiver to her hear, there weren't any sound. She then she took out her cellphone, but she was upset about not charging it. It was dead. Irma then tried to charge the phone, but the gangster cut the power before she could even put the plug. 'Oh man! What am I going to do now.' Irma then head into the kitchen and noticed that the back door was still unlocked. She quickly locked the door in time. Two of the gangster was there when she lock it. She then noticed that the windows weren't lock, so she went to lock all of the windows.
'You can't escape us girl!' one of them shouted.
'Stay calm, I have powers, so I have nothing to fear,' Irma said while heading upstairs. She noticed that her bedroom door was open. She hurried to closed the windows and locked it. She then head back downstairs and noticed that the gangsters haven't even entered. She was a little relief but she was still worried that they will entered the house. She then try to send a telepathy to the others, but somehow, she can't. 'Can this day get any worse?'. then she heard some glass breaking nearby. When she head to the source, she noticed that the back door window was broken down. 'I was being sarcastic,' Irma said before spraying a jet of water at the hand which was trying to get the lock. She then froze the ice, which surprised her. 'Okay~ I can't believe I still got that much power even though I'm not in guardian form.' she said before noticing her heart was giving her powers. Then, the front door came of it's hinges. When she hurried to take a look, she saw eight of the gangster was heading into the house. When she noticed the back door had two gangsters and the others were blocking her path, she was trapped. She then hurried upstairs and into her bedroom. Three of the gangsters followed her up.
Irma then lock the door to her bedroom and heard that the gangster was trying to get in. 'Open this door girl, I don't want to hurt you,' one of them said.
'Oh sure, maybe then you won't hurt the others!' Irma said sarcastically.
'You know you're going to regret that!'
'I just did!' Irma then concentrate her powers to blast a jet of water at the gangster from under them. She then heard some screaming and water splashing. When she didn't heard anymore talking, she wonder whether that they stopped getting her or the water hit them. When she opened her door slightly, she noticed three gangster was on the floor, stunned. She then froze them in the ice. 'Three down,' Irma said before sneaking into the bathroom. Once in there, she open a fold with the heart, but she wonder what will they do to the house if she left. 'I can't just leave them stealing our stuff,' Irma then closed the fold and thought about what to do next.
Lia-Hin was watching whether Cedric's plan was working. He was quite happy that the plan was working, but only part of it. The other part was even better, he thought.
Will and Matt noticed it was 4.27p.m., they then had some fun by throwing frisbee at each other. Taranee didn't sense Irma's cry for help, but she felt her head hurt a little.
Irma then had a plan to take out the gangsters. She then opened a fold and crossed it. Then she ended up in the garage and spotted some ropes. She grab the ropes and open the garage door. She then open a fold and crossed it again. When she left, two of the gangsters took a look at the garage. When they entered the garage, the door was closed suddenly. Then, a fold was open, and then a spray of water was coming out of it, hitting them. Irma then crossed it and noticed two gangster were stunned, so she tied them together and froze the rope for extra secured. She then open a fold again and crossed it.
Irma ended up in the backyard and saw three of the gangsters was looking around. She then noticed a water hose, so she use it and spray all three of them. The gangsters was looking at each other wondering what had just happen. Irma then made small water bubble above the gangsters and she drop it on them. Irma had managed to confuse the gangsters even more. She then took the chance to make her move. She open a fold and crossed it, hoping that the gangsters noticed the blue light. And they did, they went to the light to check it out. Irma then appeared from behind them and sprayed a jet of crystal water, hitting them hard. They were stunned and she tied them up. She then froze the rope again before opening a fold.
She then ended up in the kitchen and noticed there wasn't any gangsters there. She then tried to find a place to hide. She then hid herself in a cabinet, opposite of the sink. 'Two to go,' she mumbled. Then, two of the gangsters were entering the kitchen. They walked around the kitchen slowly. When one of them was near the sink, she then use her magic to shoot some water at him. This surprised him which the other one went there for his aid. Then, she froze the floor, which the two gangster was slipping around. They then hit the table hard, thus hitting them outcold Irma then got out of her hiding spot and tied them up.
'Finally, all of them is gone,' then, she heard a gun shot from the door. When she slowly head to the doorway, she noticed three gangsters, which one of them were wearing some rich outfit. 'That could be the leader' she thought. She then head back into the kitchen and open a fold to her bedroom. Once there, she wonder how to stop him. But then, she heard some footsteps coming up the stairs. When she took a peak, she noticed it was the leader. She then closed the door and locked. Then, she heard some knocking on the door. 'I don't know how did you get rid of my men. But you're coming with me, no matter what.' then the door came down. The leader slowly walk towards Irma, which she was walking backwards. She then hit the wall behind her and noticed she was cornered. 'Nice necklace you got there.' he said while grabbing the heart. When he took it, it was glowing. When the gangster leader open his hand, it was gone. The heart had reappear on Irma's neck.
Irma then put her hand into a gun, which the gangsters was looking at each other before laughing. 'What are you going to do? Shoot us?' the leader joke.
'Well, yes,' then Irma shot a jet of crystal water at them, pushing them towards the wall. 'What the!' the leader called out.
'Don't you ever come here again!' Irma called out. The gangster then hurriedly got up and head downstairs. When they were heading out, they crashed into someone. When they got up, they noticed it was a policeman. 'Freeze!' he shout while the other policeman was calling for back up.
After a few minutes, the Lair's house was filled with policeman with Irma sitting on the couch. 'Are you alright, Irma?' one of the policeman asked.
'Yeah, how did you know my name?' she asked while he sat beside her.
'Because I'm your dad's friend. And it's a good thing I came too,' he said while Irma gave him a weak smile.
Then, one of the policeman had called out that some people said that they had a friend in here. 'Let them in, I think it's Tom's daughter friends.' he then node before heading outside. Then, Will and Hay Lin came rushing in and noticed Irma was sitting beside a policeman. 'Irma, are you fine?' Hay Lin asked.
'Yeah, but there's something that troubles me. Why the heck did those guys attack my house.' Irma asked leaving the others wondering why.
At the lair, Lia-Hin sigh at the plan which had failed, or was it. Then, he opened a fold and Cedric appeared from it. 'I have the object I told you before,' he said.
'Good. Soon, they can't protect her anymore,' he said before laughing silently.
At the Lair's house, the police had left the house. Irma and her friends was then cleaning up the house, with the power had been recover and phone line reconnect. When the were done cleaning up the glass and the water they then repaired the door and the window. Luckily, Cornelia can repaired those in a flashed. Then, the phone rang, so Irma pick it up. 'This is the pizza parlour, how may I help you,' Irma joke. Then, she heard it was her father.
'Is this the wrong number or is this the joker?' Tom joke, which Irma giggle a little.
'Hey dad.'
'Are you alright?'
'Yeah dad, thanks to your friend.' Irma said, but she also wanted to tell him that she took care of them herself but she denied it.
'He told me your safe, so make sure if you saw anyone suspicious...'
'I will run out the through the back door and head to the neighbour house and call the police. I know dad,' Irma then heard her dad sigh before saying goodbye.
They then went out for dinner, since the sink still have some water problems. Irma then saw that the bookshop across the street had somehow been lit recently. But she just ignored it and went to a restaurant.
So, how's this? Do you like it? Man, I better come up with better dialogue to joke around. And no, I'm not talking about the chapters, I'm talking about like the meeting of the characters of the show. Yeah, it will be funny if I can find a joke for them. Well, review this chapter.
