"Will, thank god you're here!" Cornelia cried out happily as soon as the redhead walked into Hay Lin's room where the girls and Yan Lin was waiting.

"What's wrong?" Will asked, "Did you find a way to get the collar off Irma."

"Actually, that's the good news. It sounds like this Seal of Phobos should be able to unlock it and it sounds like Cornelia may already have it." Hay Lin said excitedly bouncing from foot to foot.

"Problem is Blunk just told us a few minutes ago that Caleb went to Meridian because there was news that the Seal was found there and they have an armed guard escorting it back to the castle." Yan Lin sighed, "Foolish boy, he should have waited for you girls."

"We have to help him." Cornelia said, her eyes clearly shimmering from the unshed tears from the worry the blonde was feeling. Looking toward an oddly quiet Irma caused Will's head to hurt a little. She knew Cornelia wasn't going to like this but if it was the Seal then they would have to split up.

"Why do you think that you have the Seal of Phobos?" Will sighed dropping her pack to the floor and sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Elyon and I found it in her basement a long time ago and I thought it was kind of cool looking so she gave it to me." Cornelia said, "Why are we talking about this, we have to go help Caleb."

"We will." Will said causing the blonde to smile in relief, "What did you do with it though?"

"I had to give it to my sister awhile back, she kind of blackmailed me." Cornelia sighed.

"Will, there may be another way to remove the collar." Irma said softly, almost too softly too be heard. "Use your powers and wake it up."

"Irma, I don't want to hurt you." Will said.

"Will, please just try it real quick, I'll be okay. I'd rather be able to go and help if I could." Irma said raising her voice a little though it seemed a little shaky as she was obviously a little scared.

"Do it, Will." Yan Lin smiled, "It may work."

"Fine." Will sighed getting up and walking over to Irma who looked deeply into her eyes as the redhead put her hands on the other girl's shoulders. "If it hurts I'm stopping, okay?"

"Sure." Irma said swallowing. Will slowly moved her hands up the girls shoulders and slid her hands inside the turtleneck sweater and gently curled her fingers around the choker as she closed her eyes concentrating. She was broke out of it by a sharp cry of pain from Irma causing the redhead's eyes to snap open to see the girl crying as she leaned back against the wall.

"Oh my god, Irma!" Will cried hugging the other girl, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay." Irma said after a few moments pushing Will away, "You guys better get going."

"Cornelia, take Irma and get the Seal from your house." Will sighed knowing the blonde was going to blow up.

"WHAT? I have to save Caleb." Cornelia snapped.

"Cornelia, Irma is just as important as him and she needs our help as much as Caleb does." Will said.

"It's okay, Will." Irma said with an odd smile while looking weirdly at Will.

"No it's not, Irma." Will aid shaking her head, "I'm not going to leave that thing on you any longer than I have to. Taranee and Hay Lin will come with me to Meridian and get Caleb."

"Will." Cornelia started as Will squeezed her shoulder and looked straight in the blonde's eyes.

"We'll bring him back, Cornelia. Please trust us." Will said as Cornelia bit her lip before nodding a little reluctantly.

"Blunk said the portal is in the alley, as soon as you girls get back use the Heart to seal the portal." Yan Lin said.

WITCH

Dean sighed as Will left walking briskly toward the Silver Dragon, he had hoped things would have went better than this. He really did care deeply for Susan, it seemed that they clicked instantly and he was hoping the same would happen with Will. He was a little worried about the red head hanging around with Yan Lin's granddaughter since he really didn't get along very well with the elder woman. She was one of the people who he felt was responsible for his Aunt's death though admittedly she wasn't directly responsible but the crap the five of them was into was what led Cassidy to being killed.

He didn't want anything bad happening to Will and he doubted that she was involved in the stuff his Aunt was in as there was five of them and with the addition of Will there were six girls who hung out. Cornelia and Elyon were best friends as long as he had known the girls then there was Hay Lin and Irma who were the same. The two pairs of friends started hanging out when they came to Sheffield. Then Taranee came and they accepted her into their clique as they seemed to do with Will when the redhead showed up which actually put his fears to rest for the most part.

Still, he needed to be sure though, he liked Will and someday would even love to be her step father. He knew that he wanted to spend his life with Susan, true he only knew her for a day but he could tell she was the one that he had been waiting for his whole life. It wasn't just lust either, he could feel a connection with the woman the first time they looked into each other's eyes and he knew Susan felt the same way.

Sighing he pulled the car to a curb and parked, he was kind of hungry and he might as well eat at the Silver Dragon. That way maybe he could at least give Will a ride home when she got done there. Climbing from the SUV he started walking to the Chinese Restaurant when he heard something coming from the alley that made his blood run cold.

"Okay, you two head over to Cornelia's and see if that is the Seal of Phobos." Will voice came, "Taranee and Hay Lin will come with me to intercept Caleb and rescue his sorry but."

"Will, please let me come." Cornelia begged.

"Cornelia, we can handle this." Will sighed, "Trust us, you two need to get the Seal so we can see if it will help Irma."

"Okay." Cornelia sighed.

"Okay, let's do this." Will said, "Guardian's unite!"

A bright flash of light and a minute later Cornelia followed by Irma walked out of the alley where Dean was standing.

"Hello girls." Dean said a little angrily as he crossed his arms.

"M-Mister Collins." Cornelia gasped spotting him.

"Hey Mister C." Irma said looking up into his upset brown eyes.

"Girls, where did Will go?" Dean asked looking sternly at the two girls who was acting very nervous. He knew what was going on and he had no idea what to do about it or even what t say to the girls. He would have to talk to Will as he was sure she was the one who called out 'Guardians unite!" which meant she was the keeper.

"She had to meet her mom somewhere." Cornelia said dragging Irma around the man and down the street running.

"Will, what did you get yourself into?" Dean asked softly shaking his head while sending a silent prayer that the girls would be okay.

WITCH

"Do you think he saw?" Irma asked after Cornelia let of her hand as the two stopped running, leaning over holding their knees as they tried to catch their breath.

"I hope not but we better be more careful." Cornelia said.

"Corny…I'm sorry that your stuck with me." Irma sighed sadly.

"Don't be." Cornelia said hugging the girl tightly, "Will was right, you are just as important as Caleb if not more. We've been friends since like forever while It hasn't been more than a week since I met Caleb."

"But your dreams." Irma said though she couldn't help smiling, she knew that Cornelia was serious. Things had been a little strained between the two lately after Cornelia found out Irma's secret but like Hay Lin she had accepted her. Taranee and Will didn't know yet and Irma wasn't sure she wanted to tell them despite her feelings for the redhead.

"So you believed me?" Cornelia asked raising an eyebrow.

"Of course I did, I only teased you about them to get a rise out of you." Irma said sadly.

"Irma…You know that I love you, we're like sisters. All of us are and I'm sorry for the hard time I gave you when I first found out." Cornelia said as she hugged Irma, "And as much as I like mushy moments we better break this one up."

"Yeah, though I have to admit I kinda liked it." Irma said with a smirk before running off towards Cornelia's penthouse. After a few moments the blonde's face turned red before giving an enraged shout before giving chase.

"What…Kept…You." Irma huffed, trying to catch her breath as she leaned against the elevator.

"I can't believe how perverted you can be, Irma." Cornelia snapped though the corners of her mouth kept twitching as her lips kept trying to curve into a smile.

"And I'm proud of it." Irma said as the elevator dinged as the doors slid open. Just a few moments later found the two walking into the lavish penthouse belonging to Cornelia's family.

"Mom, where's Lillian?" Cornelia asked as soon as they saw the woman doing aerobics in front of the fifty-four inch plasma television mounted on the wall.

"What did she do this time?" The woman sighed in annoyance.

"Nothing mom, I just need to ask her something." Cornelia sighed as her mother smiled a little.

"Good, I wish you two wouldn't fight as much as you do. She looks up to you." The woman said, "She's in her room."

"Thanks mom." Cornelia said as she led Irma through the living room and through the hallway ignoring the cry of "Shoes!"

"Lillian, I need your help." Cornelia said deciding it best to get to the point. If she tried to beat around the bush it would only make it harder to deal with the younger girl.

"What do you want?" Lillian asked skeptically looking p from the dollhouse she was sitting at.

"That weird necklace I gave you." Cornelia said as the girl clutched at her chest. Cornelia realized that the girl was clutching the necklace through her shirt.

"Please don't take it away from me." Lillian said, her eyes watering. "I'm really sorry I blackmailed it out of you but…I just wanted something from you."

"Y-Your serious, why did you want something from me? Trying to just take as much as you can you little brat?" Cornelia growled as Irma knelt down next to the girl.

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Irma asked ruffling the smaller blonde's hair.

"I…I just wanted to be like Cornelia. I really look up to her." Lillian said softly.

"Oh Lillian." Cornelia sighed dropping down to the girl and hugging her. "I'm sorry I haven't been the best big sister. I'll tell you what, I'll take you to see that new movie you wanted to see this weekend and give you anything you want out of my jewelry box if you give us that necklace. It's very important, Lillian."

The small girl played with the necklace a few moments before reluctantly pulling it off and giving it to Cornelia. "Just promise me that you will hang out with me more."

"I promise squirt." Cornelia said kissing the top of the girls head, "I'll play with you as soon as I get home tonight."

"Thanks Cornelia." Lillian said as Irma and Cornelia got up.

"No big, squirt." Cornelia said, "I'll see you later."

WITCH

Yan Lin looked at the necklace that Cornelia had brought back comparing it to the picture in the book though it was useless. She could feel the power radiating from the Seal and it disturbed her greatly and the two girls looking over her shoulder wasn't helping any.

"Will it get this thing off?" Irma asked hopefully reaching out toward the necklace and picked it up before Yan Lin could stop her. She didn't know what was happening as darkness started poring out of the Seal even after she dropped it. Cornelia and Yan Lin both tried to reach out to her but a bolt of black lightning struck them knocking them into the wall. The darkness swirled around Irma as she tried to back away and started soaking into her until she fell to the ground shaking and convulsing in pain.

NOTES

A few people asked about what would happen if Dean followed Will and though it wasn't my original intentions I came up with this chapter. Thanks XV-Dragon and CCRox4Eva for the idea, hope everyone likes it and I'm sure they figured out Dean's relation with the old guardians.

Samantha Palacios: Thankies, glad you enjoyed it.
