Heres a late update for ya. Since today is Saturday I'm pretty busy hence why I'm updating so late. Anyway enjoy chapter 9
Chapter 9: Morning practice.
"Morning in Heatherfield.
Will eyes slowly fluttered open. She stared across at her alarm clock. It was 6:57am. She still had a couple hours of sleep yet. Thankfully today was a Saturday so there was no school. Today's schedule involved a few more 'hours sleep perhaps an hour or so of cartoons during breakfast. And then she would meet up with her friends for training and general hanging out.
She rolled over and closed her eyes to go back to sleep. Or so she thought. Her Alarm suddenly blared into life has the digits turned to 7:00. Will nearly jumped out of her skin has she instinctively swung her arm out sending the alarm clock flying across the room and into her wardrobe.
"Ow! What was that for? Her alarm clock called out angrily.
"Oops! Sorry about that it was a reflex!" Will apologized.
"Oh sure! And I'm just expected to sit here and take this abuse? I may be a machine but I have rights to you know!" The alarm clock yelled almost bouncing off the floor has it called its protests.
"Sssh! Will you keep it down are you trying to wake my mom up?" Will pleaded has she returned the alarm clock to its stand by her bed.
"Oh sure and now I receive complaints for doing my job! I will not stand for this kindof abuse!" The alarm clock screamed.
"I demand an apology," The alarm clock insisted. If it were a human the right now it would be standing with its back to Will arms folded tightly across the chest and head held up high.
"Fine I'm sorry happy now?" Will said through gritted teeth.
"I don't think you meant that apology." The alarm clock replied snidely.
I'm really sorry for knocking you across the room! OK?" Will growled has she grinded a few layers of bone off her teeth getting out the words.
"Thank you." The alarm clock smugly responded obviously deciding it'd be best not to push its luck any further.
"RING! RING!
Her mobile. Will picked it up and stared for a moment has she wondered who could be calling so early.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Will? It's Caleb. The voice answered.
"Caleb! Do you know what time it is?" Will yelled into the phone clearly annoyed.
"Meet me down at the beach at eight we got some training to do," Caleb replied ignoring her anger.
"Training? Today? Now!" Will 'blurted out. She had planned to train with the others but she wasn't expecting Caleb to take charge of their schedule.
"Yep. You've never used a sword in combat before so someone has to teach you."
"Fine let me get breakfast first and I'll be there soon," She submitted in defeat.
"What about the others are coming to?"
"I told them last night and you but I figured you'd have forgotten by now so I phoned to make sure you were up,"
"I see… fine see you in an hour." Will said before turning off her cell phone and ending the conversation.
Over the next thirty, two minutes Will went through her standard morning rituals. A shower and hair wash to wake her up probably. The usually female appliance of 'makeup which was never much for Will aside from a little eye, liner and a touch of gloss. She dressed in a pair of jeans and black tank top with her familiar grey and pink jogging coat over the top to keep her warm. A bowel of cereal and half an episode of power puff girls later she was finally ready to go.
She arrived at the beach and parked her bike outside the cave the others waiting for her minus Cornelia and Caleb.
"Hi guys!" Will greeted trying to sound cheerful.
"So were is Caleb and Cornelia?"
"Not here yet," Hay-lin shrugged.
Right on cue Cornelia arrived.
"You took your time didn't you?" Irma said pointedly.
"Hey I like have to make myself presentable you know," Cornelia answered. Even at this time of day the fatigue a normal person would show at being up at such an hour was disguised by the make up over Cornelia's face.
"For who exactly? Irma asked suspiciously.
"For any guys that see us obviously!" Cornelia answered. Will and Irma passed dumbfounded looks at each other.
"We'll be training has Guardians! We don't want people to see us!" Irma snapped.
"Its about time you guys showed up," A voice from behind said.
The group turned to see Caleb emerge from the cave. He was holding a sword in one hand and a second one wrapped in cloth. Will also noticed a sword sheath hanging off his belt partially hidden by his meridian style trench coat He unwrapped the second sword revealing the blade of infinity and threw it at Wills feet.
"Lets get started shall we?"
chapter 10 is on its way.
