The Royal Guardian

Disclaimer: I, Sokai, do not claim ownership to the workings of W.I.T.C.H. -- I leave that honor up to Elisabetta Gnone. Nor do I own Meg Cabot's "The Princess Diaries" series (even though this story isn't even really related to the series. Just don't want to hear law suit claims LoL). However, I can and DO claim to own this story and its inspired ideas FROM said series.

Note: Crazy Callisto. I love her. LoL Sorry. Watching Xena: Warrior Princess as I do this. Anyway, squee. We all liked the last chapter. You better have! It was "long" (not really LoL) and entertaining, AND Matt was actually an enjoyable charrie for me (and Seniya, apparently LoL). I don't hate him traditionally, but I was never "yay!" about him, either. Any of the guys, really, I don't care. LoL But yeah. Thanx to me and making his personality like my friend, Kyle (and the interaction b/w them just how Kyle usually treats me, the bastard LoL), it was a treat to "endure" his presence. LoL One note though: YES, this IS a Will/Caleb story. Well, a Will story, with Will/Caleb romance thrown into the mix, I mean. So, no worries: no WAY is Will getting back together with Matt, since their relationship seems to confuse some of you. It isn't a crime for ex-lovers to remain friends, no. It's rare, but it happens. LoL But, hey! Speaking of Will/Caleb! Enjoy this short but sweet imitation chapter dedicated to the pair.

This chapter was created in December 2006.

Chapter Fourteen

Thursday, November 2nd, 1:45 pm,

Vandom Loft, My Bedroom

Oh, my God. OH, MY GOD! You will never guess what just happened to me, and not in the negative, "My life is over" sense, like I'd written in the last chapter. This is actually good, as in, "Just when I think my day is going to continue to be bad, it does a complete one-eighty and now I'm on cloud nine."

What am I talking about? Oh, I don't know. How about AN E-MAIL FROM CALEB, THE SUPER LOVE OF MY LIFE??????

Yeah. I am not even kidding. I didn't even know that he knew my e-mail address, since he's never e-mailed me before.

Hell. I didn't even know that he knew how to operate a computer, let alone be able to send out e-mails.

But, hey. I'm not complaining!

Because Caleb "Virgilio" sent me, Will Vandom, an e-mail!

Let me backtrack a bit before revealing the e-mail's contents.

See, I figured that I had better check my e-mail before the girls got to their houses (since, by this time, the last period of the day is almost over) and started flooding my Inbox.

So, I signed into my account to do just that. And aside from junk mail, I was "safe" for the time being.

And that's when I saw it.

I was about to sign out when I saw Caleb's e-mail to me, which I honestly was going to delete because I thought it was Spam mail or something. You know, because I obviously didn't recognize his e-mail address, and the subject title was a bit "odd."

Well, not odd by normal, general standards, I guess. Just odd in regards to me, since Caleb barely acknowledges my existence, as I've already stated in past entries, sadly.

What was the subject title, you ask? Here, I printed the entire e-mail out and pasted it in here as proof that this actually happened:

Subject: To My Great Guardian . . .
Date: Thurs, 2 Nov 2006 13:22:54
From:"Virgilio, Caleb" rebel.with.a.cause at yoohoo . com
To: "Vandom, Will" froggie.lover at yoohoo . com

Hey,

You have no idea how worried I am about you. I mean, first the Halloween Ball, and now this. Someone as wonderful as you doesn't deserve to have things like this happen...

And I have to apologize that I haven't really been there for you. There's no excuse for it, because you mean a lot to me. I should tell you that everyday...but you know how I am. Expressing emotions other than anger or whatever isn't something I'm very good at...

But I just wanted to let you know now that I am here for you and always will be...

Much love,

Caleb

Can you freaking believe that? Caleb wrote that to me! ME!

See the "bizarre" subject title? You know, because he wrote "My" instead of "The." He made it personal.

But, hell! This entire e-mail's "personal!"

And I mean, sure it isn't a declaration of love, but it's a start. All this time I thought he didn't notice me, when it turns out that he has! And that I'm in his thoughts!

Oh, and "much love?" How sweet is that? Again, it's not "I love you," but it still has the word "love" in the sign off.

No "Sincerely," "Cordially," or just his name and no closing, period.

"Much love!"

This one e-mail, this one act, has instantly wiped the slate clean of all of the horrible drama that's been happening to me in the last few days.

Now, I actually feel like I can handle being a princess, or at least grin and bear it.

I am so framing this e-mail.

-- End of Chapter Fourteen

(A.N. Yay. LoL Wasn't that cute beans? Now Will's happy and things are finally looking up. Go, Will! It's your birthday. LoL If I had a dime for every time that I reacted the way Will has whenever my crushes would pay attention to me or send me e-mails or IM's, I'd be a billionaire. LoL Anyway, I had to make the e-mail be "Yoohoo" instead of "Yahoo!," before some of you get bored and try to e-mail people who might actually have the e-mail accounts I've created -- even though this site messed it up and I had to re-write it for it to even show but yeah. I know I would have e-mailed them if I were reading this instead of writing it, cuz I'm stupid like that. LoL And now I feel "clever" for making Caleb's e-mail handle. I win a cookie. LoL Anyway, chapter fifteen might be a while. Dunno if it'll be long, but it'll be a while. Maybe. Cuz I plan on revealing more about the country of Marsily – that's made up by me, yes. Which sux to be me, cuz I hate politics and geography and all of that. So to actually create a believable structure . . . forget it. Now this feels like homework. LoL Anyway, stay tuned!)
