Heres chapter 12 at last. This was one of the more fun non fighting chapters to write so I hope you enjoy it to:
Chapter 12: Parties crushes and party crashers.
"Heatherfield shopping mall night time.
Round the back of the popular shopping mall amongst the dumpsters and trash, cans. The deathly silence was unexpectedly disturbed has a tear in reality ripped open. Heralding the arrival of four beings.
Cedric viewed his surroundings curling up his nose has he absorbed the unusual smells of this foreign land. He turned to the Sentinels and gave out his orders.
"Split up and search for the Guardians keep to the rooftops and shadows to avoid being seen when you find the them make them follow you to the central park," Cedric commanded. The Sentinels stared blankly at him for a moment before each one made a super human leap onto the tall rooftops bounding off in three different directions.
Cedric concentrated for a moment before he painfully forced his serpentine body to mutate back into his human form. He was now dressed in his standard earth clothes his long blond hair tied into a fish tail. He was also wearing a long trench coat, which concealed his outfit.
He smiled slyly before heading onto the streets to locate his targets.
The Guardian had each been allowed by their parents to visit a local dance club. Will wasn't really that surprised has her mom often encouraged her to go to parties so she could make friends more often. Hay-lin's parents had taken some convincing but they eventually gave in when Hay-lin explained how she would be all right with her cell phone and of course Caleb (much to Caleb surprise!) for protection. Cornelia argued it was practically her right to be allowed to party and no parent could take that right away. When she had finished her rather long, winded speech she realised her parents had in fact being saying yes the whole time! Taranee's parents were fine with the idea after she explained she'd be with her friends. Irma had nearly been lost in the line of babysitting duty for her pesky brother. But was saved by a call from her annoying crush boy martin who was quickly volunteered for babysitting duty. He was a regular visitor to the apartment anyway and Irma's parents were always saying how nice he seemed much to Irma's dislike!
The group entered the dance club Hay-lin and Irma immediately taking to the dance floor leaving Cornelia Will Caleb and Taranee to secure a table for general chatting drinks etc.
Caleb looked about some, what confused. He had been to parties before but often found 'himself a little caught off guard by the insanely loud music constantly threatening to deafen him. That combined with the flashing lights and hordes of people moving about was enough to throw him of balance. The first time the girls had taken him to a dance club he was sure that it must have been some sort of fighting arena (they had arrived early so the dance floor was empty that particular night). That was until the party, goers flooded into the dance floor and he soon caught on.
Caleb took his seat and disinterestedly looked about his eyes trying to make out the many flashing partials bodies that were enjoying the music. Will and Cornelia were chattering about matt or something who, was apparently supposed to be playing with his band tonight the colbolt blue. Caleb finally turned his attention and started listening to the conversation:
"Yeah I know matt's just so cute!" Will was saying giggling her eyes going all puppy dog has she envisioned his scruffy but handsome image.
"What about you Taranee? Who do you like?" Will asked Taranee blushed (which was actually hard to see with the flashing lights and Taranees dark tone skin) taken off guard by the question.
"Who? Me? I don't have a crush!" She blurted out defensively.
Will and Cornelia gave each other evil looks like two witches plotting something over a boiling cauldron would.
"Who said anything about a crush?" Cornelia asked curiously.
"Come now spill it! No keeping secrets from your best friends,"
"Well if you must know…" Taranee started.
"Yes…" Will and Cornelia teased.
"I like…"
"Yes…"
"Nigel," She finally breathed out in a heavy breath. Leaving Cornelia and Will to stare in befuddlement.
"Nigel… from Uriah's gang?" Will asked knowing full well it was that very same Nigel.
"Yeah but he's not like Uriah and his creepy pals!" Taranee began defensively.
"He's sensitive intelligent… and so cute! She said breathing out the three words.
The three stared at each for a minute and burst into uncontrollable giggles just has Irma Hay-lin returned from the dance floor each of them holding drinks which were passed around.
"Taranee was just telling us how she likes Nigel!" Will explained between fits of laughter.
"Oh man! That's hilarious!" Irma said laughing a bit to manically.
"Well we all know who Irma likes don't we?" Cornelia started shaking Irma out of her laughter bout.
"I do not like Martin! The little nerd just insists on stalking me!" Irma snapped defensively.
"Who said anything about Martin?" Cornelia asked innocently.
"Well you are always leading him on and getting him to do stuff for you," Hay-lin reasoned.
"Yeah and you know what they say about people who argue lots?" Will chirped in.
"I DO NOT LIKE MARTIN!" Irma yelled. This only incited a wave of laughter off of the other four girls.
"Hey what about Caleb?" Irma sparked raising her finger. Caleb spun his head in response having drowned out the majority of the nonsensical girl talk.
"Huh? He asked trying to figure out the question
"Which one of us do you like?" Hay-lin asked smiling brightly.
"Err… well…which one of you guys? Caleb asked rubbing the back of his head. His eyes slowly passed over each of the five girls who were, each leaning forward looking at him innocently yet at the same in a strangely suggestive fashion. Caleb blushed red, which thankfully wasn't noticeable thanks to the lighting.
Yeah Cornelia answered.
Me, Will, Irma, Hay-lin or Taranee."
"Errr…"
"Oh c'mon don't think we haven't noticed you staring at our butts when we're transformed!" Irma said teasingly.
"I don't!" Caleb yelled.
"I'm gonna go now. Caleb said searching desperately for an excuse.
"Err you guys… err… need drinks!" He finally declared.
"No we don't." Will replied simply showing her mostly full glass filled with soda pop.
"Yeah but you you'll need more drinks after those and I…" Caleb said has he backed off and retreated into the crowd of dancers.
"Dang He got away from us!" Irma pouted.
"So what about you Cornelia…"
"Phew that was close!" Caleb sighed has he wiped away a bead of sweat that he was unaware was even on his forehead. He scanned the large room suspiciously taking note of several faces. No one he knew. But it was wise to be on guard… just in case. He looked up towards the ceiling noting the suspended walkways for people wanting a better view of the performers on stage and noticed a man with long hair tied into fish tail staring at him through cold eyes. The coloured lights flashed on him for a second turning the character blue and then disappearing leaving only blackness the figure seemed to have vanished.
Caleb searched wildly. He was sure he recognised those eyes from somewhere. But were? He scanned the area has quickly has he could and a caught glimpsed of a hooded character in black robes. Once again the character remained only for a second before seeming to vanish.
"The Sentinels!" He whispered his eyes wide in shock.
Poor Caleb hey? Anyway chapter 13 is coming soon.
