Chapter 3: Back to Heatherfield.
Heatherfield.
"Get off of me you big klutz!" Will yelled has she pushed Caleb off of her small frame.
"Oof! All right already! Jeez you don't have to be so rough!" Caleb yelled after landing hard in the dirt. He dusted himself off has he stood up and examined his surroundings. He had wound up in the cave by Heatherfield's beach in which the five Guardians… correction two sets of guardians were staring at him in confusion.
"Man I must've landed harder than I thought," Caleb muttered has he rubbed his rattled head.
"Wait a second what's going on here? He said has a light bulb suddenly clicked on inside his head.
"You guys… your all… alive?" Caleb suddenly realised a look of surprise and joy mixing into his face.
"Um aren't we usually?" Irma asked looking towards Hay-lin and Taranee who simply shrugged.
"B-but the fight those monsters… how?" Caleb spluttered the words tumbling out of his mouth into a nonsensical gibberish.
"Whoa back up there. What fight are we talking about?" Will asked trying to calm the rebel leader.
"You don't remember? The Sentinels they killed you!" Caleb yelled has if it should've been obvious.
"This looks like its "gonna take a while," Will thought. She pulled out the heart of Candracar and turned to the astral drop doubles.
Sorry guys guess looks like we don't need you after all," Will shrugged she aimed the heart at the five doubles and chanted the words:
"Astral drops," Causing the five doubles to dissolve into pure energy and disappear.
The group returned to the silver dragon restaurant and Caleb explained about his last encounter with the Guardians. When he was finished the girls stared at him waiting for someone to break the uneasy silence.
"Wow," Hay-lin finally breathed.
"These Sentinel guys are that powerful?"
"They are," He confirmed without looking up.
"I just don't understand how you can be here after what I witnessed," Caleb said holding his head in his hands.
"Wait a sec!" He suddenly snapped.
"Will what's today's date? He demanded.
"The date? It's the tenth of April. Will shrugged.
"Why is the date so important?" Cornelia asked.
"Time travel," Caleb gasped has realization dawned on him.
"Time travel?" the group repeated.
"Ok I'm lost," Irma, declared has she rubbed her head in confusion.
"The last time I checked the date according to your calendar it was the second of May. Caleb explained ignoring Irma's wisecrack.
"If the Guardians were killed that means that someone or something has sent you back through time,"
"The Oracle," Will breathed.
"So if the Oracle rewound time how come it didn't effect Caleb?" Taranee asked.
"If it was the Oracle then his powers wouldn't have been able to effect Metamoor," Will reasoned.
"Which means that Phobos is a month ahead of us right?" Hay-lin asked.
"Right so if these Sentinel guys are so powerful they've already beaten us how do we beat them? " Taranee asked adjusting her glasses slightly has she 'spoke.
"Theirs some sort of magic sword. It's called the blade of infinity my contact said its supposed to have the ability to harness the power of the heart. Caleb explained
"I was heading back to pick up my stuff I had stashed at my apartment when I ran into you guys. After that I was "gonna return to Metamoor and get this sword thing."
"I see…" Will replied looking thoughtful.
"But even if you were to like find this sword you can't use the heart yourself Caleb, Only Will can use the heart," Cornelia said.
"Hey! I never said I had the whole thing completely figured out!" Caleb snapped.
"So now that we've found Caleb what we do now?" Taranee asked. The group looked towards Will for answers.
"For now the mission to Metamoor is called off. We'll make a plan and go after this sword thing in the next couple of days. Caleb's "gonna need rest if he's been battling and running about Metamoor.
Just them Mr Lin came in with a sweeping brush.
"I am sorry we are closing now, Hay-lin your friends will have to go home it's late nearly time for you to go to bed. He said tapping his watching.
"Sorry guys guess you "gotta go now," Hay-lin groaned.
"We'll make plans tomorrow ok?"
"Um yeah sure," Will replied a little unsure.
The group separated and left for their respective homes.
When will got home She spent an hour or so watching TV until she decided to go to bed. Before she fell asleep she kept thinking of the red headed girl from her dream.
"Who was she?"
