Heres part two the koven have been left behind for now. Now we rejoin our current guardians. This is part two now so the the chapter is labelled chapter 1:
Part II: back to reality.
Chapter 1: cafeteria food and dream talking.
Wills eyes snapped open. She jolted up right in her bed and began breathing heavily. Was that a dream she had just experienced? It had to be. But why did it feel so real? She stared at her trembling hands and noticed that her pyjamas were damp with sweat.
Like most dreams the details were already beginning to blur. All she could recall with any clarity was what seemed involved a previous group Guardians first encounter with a creation of Phobos's. She couldn't quite recall the name but the image of them stuck hard in her head.
"Will! Honey are you up yet?" Her mom shouted up the stairs snapping her back into reality.
"Yeah mom I'm up," Will 'yelled back.
"Breakfast will be ready in five minutes its waffles,"
"Kay mom," She called back. She looked at her alarm clock, which had the numbers 7:03AM displayed across the screen.
She proceeded to the bathroom to wash up. And a few minutes later returned to her room. Two minutes after that she emerged wearing her blue jeans orange shirt and grey and pink jogging top over it.
"There you are," her mom smiled.
"I was about to send up a search party for you." Her mom said light heartedly has Will 'took her seat at the kitchen table. She examined something on her plate, which looked like a cross between a waffle and oatmeal. Regardless she ate it anyway.
After breakfast the two left the house together to drop 'Will off at school and so her mom could get to work. The car pulled up on the curve outside Sheffield institute and 'Will exited leaning back into the door to receive her mothers daily instructions.
"Ok here's your lunch honey. I'm working late again tonight so you'll have to walk home I should be home by seven but if I'm not the there's a microwave TV dinner on the second shelf off the refrigerator." The words seemed to flow out in a near continuous stream and in truth Will only understood just over half of what she had just heard.
"OK thanks mom got it," She replied taking her lunch and moving away from the car before she had a chance to call out the words she dreaded to hear.
"Have fun pumpkin!" Her mom called cheerily. Will mentally cursed for not moving 'quickly enough.
Irma carefully snuck behind Will who was stalking towards the school main entrance in a caveman like posture. She took a breath and-
"Don't even think about it," Will shot out without even looking to confirm it was who was behind her. She had been the victim of many of Irma's sneak attacks and has a result had a developed a kind of sixth sense that told her when one of Irma's pranks was approaching. And of course there 'was Irma's squeaky shoes which gave her away by about a mile.
"Aw what's the matter is the poo-
"Irma!" Will snapped cutting her off.
"Ok okay, I know when to give in," Irma replied in a mock bored tone. She walked along side Will and lowered her head to be level with Wills and moved close to her ear.
"Pookypumpkin!" She quickly whispered before racing down the hallway.
"Grr IRMA! Will yelled has she took off down the hallway dodging in out of the student crowded halls has she tried to keep track of and ultimately catch her prey.
She rounded a corner and skidded to a halt when she unexpectedly met up with Taranee Hay-lin and Cornelia.
"Hey Will," Hay-lin greeted with a cheery grin.
"Hey you guys, Will responded carefully scanning the area for any signs of Irma.
"So what's your first period today?" taranee asked the only member of the group who showed any genuine interest in school.
"Biology," Will replied simply.
"I just wish I had time to study for that blasted test," she added.
"I wouldn't worry about it hardly anyone passes Mr Mcneils tests anyway," Cornelia commented.
"I'd wager he spends all his time creating them just to stump us and stop us from passing." She added.
"And what makes you so sure of that Cornelia?" Taranee asked a cynical look on her face.
"Like hello, what kind of self respecting person wears a grey polyester pants with a brown nylon blazer? Clearly the man has no fashion sense or social life. Would you be caught dead in public dressed like that? I don't think so!" Cornelia said has it were the most obvious thing in the 'world.
The other girls 'passed confused looks at each and then at Cornelia has they tried to figure out the logic in her last few words.
"Um yeah okay…" Will started suddenly put off balance.
"Anyway shouldn't we be getting into class about now?" Taranee asked looking at her watch.
"I guess see you at lunch break ok?" Will called has the girls separated towards their respective first periods.
An hour and half later and Will was slowly being put to sleep by the words her history teacher Mr Collins. She allowed the words to flow into her ears not really hearing them has she let her mind wander. She found herself thinking of her dream those creatures her alter ego was battling and her and Caleb battling them has well.
"Wait a sec," She suddenly thought. The last part didn't make any sense. They had never encountered those, monsters before and more to the point they weren't even real. Were they? She concentrated hard has she tried to recall the vague dream/memories:
Flashback
She was fighting Cedric and a trio of dark robed characters, Caleb was 'there having a sword fight with one of the warriors. Then something made him stop he dropped his rather large sword, and retreated jumping through a portal in the gym.
"Caleb!" She heard herself call but for some reason he seemed oblivious to her presence and continued his retreat.
End flashback
"CALEB!" She yelled out loud. She suddenly snapped back into reality and slowly looked about the classroom to discover everyone was staring at her including her rather angry looking history teacher.
"Well miss Vandom I'm afraid the writer of Romeo and Juliet was in fact William Shakespeare and a not a "Caleb". Now if you'd kindly refrain from any further outbursts?"
"Uh yeah sorry about that," Will muttered embarrassedly has she sunk low into her seat. A wave of giggling flow across the room aimed at her. Taranee looked over curiously at her.
"Will are you ok?" she telepathically asked her.
"Just remembering a weird dream… at least I think it was dream," She responded.
"What kind of dream? Taranee queried.
"Its hard to describe, something to with some scary grim reaper guys and another group who I think were Guardians," She explained.
"No way! I had a dream last night to and it was a lot like what you just described," Taranee responded a look of shock appeared on her face,"
"I think we need to talk to the others about this at lunch break," Will decided looking over to see Taranee nod in agreement.
Finally lunch break arrived meaning an hour of freedom from class and a chance to get some food. The Guardians sat together examining the contents of their plates something, which appeared to be an unholy mixture of peas sloppy mashed potatoes and a cross between brown meat and gravy.
"You know I think there should a law against making kids eat this stuff," Irma commented has she picked up a scoop of mash potato and watched it escape back onto the plate through the gaps in her fork.
"So what's with you Will? Your not still mad about this morning are you?" She asked noting Wills thoughtful expression has she stared at her stared at her packed lunch.
"Have you guys had any weird dreams lately? She finally asked. She had been trying to think of the right way to ask for a while now.
"I guess it depends what you mean by weird, Irma replied searching her memories.
"But now that you mention it I remember this dream from the other night. We, or someone like us was fighting that Phobos guy and some weird Halloween rejects.
"Like no way," Cornelia joined in.
"I had the same dream and I was like some kind of nature girl or something." She explained with a, twinge of disgust has she thought about her dream alter egos outfit.
"Ooh! I had dream were I was a ninja or something fighting these creepy robed guys!" Hay-lin added excitedly.
"And you guys were all there to!" she added.
"Hey me to! Taranee finally spoke up.
"I was some sort of Amazon fighter or something like that and you guys were all there… well…sort of. And we were fighting Phobos and these guys he called the Sensibles or seminals or at least something like that.
"So we're like dreaming each others dreams now?" Cornelia asked.
"I'm betting this probably something from the Oracle Will explained.
Maybe something he's got something in store for us? Anyway whilst I was trying to remember this dream I got something else to. "Me and Caleb fighting these robed guys. And Caleb just took off through a portal into Metamoor. I think Caleb's on Metamoor and he needs our help," Will reasoned.
"Caleb's in trouble? What are waiting for we need to like go save him!" Cornelia exclaimed suddenly afraid for his safety."
"Don't worry we will Cornelia," Will reassured her.
We'll head to Metamoor tonight. And get to the bottom of this. Even if Caleb's not there someone in the resistance should be able to shed some light on the situation.
The girls nodded in agreement finalising the plans. Tonight they'd be paying another visit to Metamoor.
Chapter 2 coming soon until then R&R please.
