TARANEE! YOU GOT TILL THE COUNT OF FIVE TO COME DOWN HERE AND GET YOUR BREAKFAST BEFORE SCHOOL!
Mrs cook. Called up to her daughter. Normally such a threat would have Taranee down the stairs and at the breakfast table in less than half the time but this morning it seemed has though she could sleep through an atomic bomb going off.
ONE!
Nothing.
TWO!
Again nothing.
THREE
Still only silence could be heard from Taranees room.
FOUR.
Surely she must be awake by now.
FIVE.
Mrs cook climbed the stairs in a determinedly. She went up to Taranees room and opened the door. The room was deathly silent. Taranees radio alarm clock was on and blaring "have gone off at 7:00 but Taranee just laid in her bed. Not moving. "Perfectly still.
Mrs cook froze in the doorway her mug off coffee dropped from her hand and shattered spilling its boiling hot liquid onto the floor. Her blood seemed to freeze in her veins has she stared at her daughter lying so still in her bed.
Taranee? She asked in a voice that was barely a whisper has the terrible truth suddenly hit her.
WHAT!
Irma Cornelia and Hay-lin all stared at Will wide eyed in a state of disbelieve. The three could hardly believe what they had just heard their leader say.
You heard me I quit. Will repeated in a grim voice. Her face stared hard at the ground so she wouldn't have to look her friends in the eyes.
It was break time at Sheffield institute and Will Irma Cornelia and Hay-lin were having meeting under the same large tree were they met the other day only this time they were one member short.
Taranee cook a guardian of the veil had fallen in the line of duty and Will had made a decision the only decision that would ensure her friends safety.
"Y-your kidding right? Hay-lin asked with a desperate look on her face.
"This some kind of joke right? Your giving up your role has guardian, has our leader now after what happened to Taranee?
Will finally raised her head to face her friends. Irma and Hay-lin were both only a couple of feet away each staring at "Will with pleading "eyes. Behind them was Cornelia she stood tall her arms folded and stared hard at Will. Will took a deep breath and began to explain.
We were chosen to become the guardians of the veil we fight this invisible war against an enemy that nobody even knows exists. We've fought hard won lots of victories and developed one of the closest bonds a group of friends could share. But all it took was one tiny little mistake and we lost an important part of our team and one of our closest friends. And worst of all nobody will ever know what she died for. Well I say no more. I refuse to put my friends in that kind of danger again. The Oracle can fight Phobos himself from now on. With that said Will waited for her friends response.
Is that it? Cornelia asked quietly.
After everything we've been through together your just walking away? Your just "gonna leave us like this? What about Caleb and the resistance? After all we've done you just expect us to hang up our a wings and forget about them?
You don't understand Cornelia. Will said staring at her through hard eyes.
I didn't come to this decision lightly. I'm the leader "its, supposed to be my duty to lead us and bring us back safe. Last night I failed in that duty. She pulled the heart of Candracar out her pocket and stared deeply at the beautiful jewel holding it out so her friends could all clearly see it.
Will stepped up to Cornelia holding the crystal in front of her.
Do you know what its like? To have them look up to you for leadership and answers? "To be responsible for their safety? Are you ready, to take that responsibility and the possibility of loosing one of them? Will and Cornelia stared hard at each other for long moments. Cornelia gripped the heart of Candracar in her hand below Wills.
I know now. Cornelia said quietly knowing what Will was asking of her.
Will released her grip on the heart.
"Its up to you to lead them and keep them safe now. With that will slowly walked away from the group and head back towards the school building.
Will wait! Irma called after her. Cornelia raised her hand to stop her.
Let her go Irma. Wills made her decision.
That's it for now chapter six will be up soon
