Chapter 14: Telling Elyon
The three got back to the Vandoms and each of them are now drinking a glass of hot chocolate. After a little bit of talking back and forth, Susan looked over at her daughter and smiled before speaking. "Will, what happened and who was that guy?"
Will looked down toward her drink for a second and then back up at her mother. "It doesn't matter mom, it's not any of my business."
Susan almost looked shocked that her daughter just blew off the whole incident. Susan was about to say something when the doorbell rang. Will got up quickly and answered the door. When she opened the door, the four girls hugged her tightly and then Hay Lin spoke up. "Will, my grandmother told us what happened."
"That means we have our leader back?" Irma asked curiously.
Will backed up and shook her head. "No, you don't. I only took the heart to save my mother and that's it." Then Will grabbed the heart of Kandrakhar and tossed it to Hay Lin. "Give it back to you're grandmother ok."
The four girls all looked at the heart in Hay Lin's hand and frowned. Then Taranee looked up at Will. "Will, we need you." Taranee pleaded a little.
"No you don't and I don't want any part of this. I have what I want and I don't want to lose all that. Just tell Phobos that there is no leader guardian. To make this easier for you though, go tell who ever this girl is the news about her and then she won't be tricked into going. Now I think it's time you leave but thanks for coming by." Then Will gently shoved the four out the door and closed it. When Will turned around, she found both her mother and Matt standing there. "What?"
"Will, you have a responsibility don't you?" Susan asked.
"No, I don't so let's drop it ok?" Will then tried to go back to the kitchen but she was held back by her mother. Will stopped and sighed.
"Will, it really sounds like they need you and they said that you are the leader of the group. Whatever it is that's going on, you're obviously a part of it." Susan said trying to convince Will to rethink things.
Will turned around somewhat angrily and raised her voice. "I didn't ask for this mom. I didn't ask to be a guardian or their leader for that matter. They chose me but I want no part of it."
Susan stared at her daughter with a hint of sadness but some disappointment as well. "Will, whether you were chosen or not, you have this responsibility and I for one am happy that you have it. Whatever this is, they need you because if they didn't, they wouldn't come to ask for you. If you are in something that involves other people, especially if it's a life or death situation, you have to help. I realize that I don't know anything about this but I do know this and that you're apart of it." Susan paused for a second to think and then knew what to say. "I can tell you care about others, so tell me something Will. Are you going to sit back and let things possibly go from bad to worse if it hasn't happened already or are you going to care for them like I care for you?" Susan asked nicely
"I hardly even know them mom." Will said looking into her mothers eyes.
"I helped many people that I didn't know. Why, I think it was because everything can have some kind of chain reaction. I learned that the hard way Will and it still kills me. If I would have helped one person by shooting someone else, I could have saved so much grief in a family. Later I found that the families friends died to the same person and it all could have been avoided if I would have just shot that one guy." Susan then turned to walk away but then turned to say one last thing. "It's up to you Will what you want to do but just remember that one small thing can hurt many people." Then Susan walked away and turned a corner in the hallway.
Will thought about what could happen and then frowned. "She really knows how to get to a person dang it. Come on Matt, I have a job to take care of." Matt smiled at her and chased after her. Susan peaked around the corner and smiled as the two left. Will and Matt ran outside and all the way to the Silver Dragon hoping to find the girls there. When they entered, the two ran over to the basement and headed down. When they got to the bottom, the four girls and Yan Lin were talking about what they should do next.
"Will, what are you doing down here and why did you bring Matt with you?" Taranee asked angrily.
Will smiled and shook her head. "I hear you need a leader?"
The girls brightened up and got into a group hug. "Will, why did you change your mind?" Irma asked happily.
"My mother is very persuasive and it kind of bugs me but I wouldn't have it any other way. So who is the girl we need to talk to?" Will looked at Cornelia.
"My friend Elyon, she is heading over right now." Just then Elyon came down the steps.
"Ok Cornelia, what is so important?" Elyon asked wondering why she was asked to come all the way here just to talk.
Cornelia was about to talk and then Will took over going into leader mode. "We came to warn about your brother named Phobos." Elyon was about to say something but Will didn't give her a chance and continued her explanation. "You have a brother in a place called Meridian and he wants you dead. You see Elyon, you're the queen of Meridian and your brother wants the throne and so he wants you dead in order to have it." Will went on for another three minutes explaining everything to her and then let Elyon speak.
Elyon looked shocked by this and then broke out laughing. "Man Cornelia, you went through a lot to pull this joke on me." Then she went back upstairs and left the building.
"Great, she not only doesn't believe us but she laughed at us." Cornelia said folding her arms.
"Good, at least she knows now because if Phobos gets to her and tells her everything that we had just said, then she will have to believe us over him." Will said relaxing in a chair.
"Will is right girls; the best thing we could have done is tell her the truth. She is far more protected now knowing what she knows." Yan Lin said as she looked out the small basement window
In Meridian, Phobos sat on the throne when the spider creature came in. "Miranda, have you or Cedric found my sister yet. I am growing impatient." Phobos stood up and glared at her.
Miranda transformed from her spider self to her human self and then bowed. "Cedric is dead my lord. However I do know who your sister is." Miranda said bowing.
Phobos stood up angrily and then quickly calmed after hearing that she had found his sister. "Who has killed my right hand man Miranda?"
"It was the leader guardian sire, she snapped his neck. She is very quick and even without her powers, she is powerful. She killed Cedric without the help of the heart." Miranda replied and backed up a bit scared of what Phobos would do.
"It appears that this guardian is a thorn that needs to be removed." Phobos thought for a moment and then spoke. "Go get my sister and if the guardians follow you here, take my army and wipe them out starting with their leader." Phobos said as he threw some sand onto the ground causing a picture of Will to appear.
A/N: I'm not sure how many more chapters there will be. Does anyone know what Taranee's and Cornelia's parent's names are? I won't be using them in this story but I will be in my next and so I would like to know since I don't remember hearing their names in the series and I never read the comic books.
