Chapter 5.
After a few hours of sitting around Van was getting restless. He was pacing around the room.
"I wonder how long it will take to find a way home?" he asked.
"Probably a while." replied Hitomi who was sat down. "Do you wanna go out for a walk?"
"No sorry, I'd rather stay here in case there's any news."
"Ok, Would anyone like to go with me?" she asked the Guardians.
"I will." said Taranee. "I'll show you around Heatherfield."
"Thank you."
"Don't worry about it."
Taranee and Hitomi walked out and down the street.
"Looks like our little Taranee's made a new friend." Irma joked.
Taranee and Hitomi walked down one of Heatherfield's many streets, Taranee had already showed Hitomi the school, the Guardians different homes, Ye old Bookshop and Mr Olsen's pet shop and they were now walking towards the park.
"This is a really nice town." said Hitomi looking around.
"When its not been invaded by evil monsters." Taranee replied matter-of-factly.
"Does this happen a lot?"
"More then you would think."
Taranee let out a little laugh, she was a little surprised that she seemed so casual about it, that was totally un-Taranee like. She was shook from her thoughts when she felt something grab her arms. They had been ambushed by Metamoorian guards. Two guards held Taranee by the arms and another had grabbed Hitomi from behind pinning her arms to her side.
"Let go of me!" cried Hitomi.
She kicked the guard in the shins.
'Good girl.' thought Taranee with a smirk.
The Guard let go of her as he yelped in pain but Hitomi was surrounded and quickly caught again by a more cautious guard.
"Take her away." said a voice. "Prince Phobos wants to see her."
It was Cedric. The guards walked away with Hitomi with Cedric following behind them, Taranee struggled against the grip of the two big creatures but they were too strong.
"What about her?" asked one of the guards holding her.
"Finish her." Cedric said coldly.
Cedric walked off around the corner, Taranee lowered her head and closed her eyes.
'This is my chance.' she thought to herself. she then spoke up. "Don't play with fire boys, you ALWAYS get burned!"
Taranee concentrated on her fire powers, she ignited her arms with a blaze but she controlled her powers so they didn't burn her, her captors where another matter though, they released her and screamed in pain when the flames burnt their hands. Taranee ran around the corner that Cedric had gone around with Hitomi but they where gone. She looked around but found no signs of them.
"This is bad." she said quietly to herself. "I better go tell the others."
Taranee turned around and ran back to the others.
