Chapter 12: Different points of view.
Heatherfield.
Irma strolled idly to school. The previous night had been a long one and she was in no mood to be crammed into a stuffy school bus when she could enjoy some fresh air and a sunny morning on her way to school. About half way there a familiar redheaded cyclist slowed to a walking pace alongside her.
"Hey Will," Irma said to her best friend and fellow Guardian.
"Hey Irma," Will replied back she was staring at Irma out the corner of her eye and had a large grin on her face has if she were trying desperately not to laugh.
"What?" Irma asked confused. "Do I have something on my face?" She said feeling her mouth for crumbs of food.
"Oh its nothing," Will sighed in a sing song voice. Her silence was beginning to irritate Irma now.
. She was usually the jokester of the group and has such hated it when the tables were turned on her.
"So," Will started. "You've got a date this afternoon huh?"
"I got what who-now?" Irma blurted out failing to produce a recognisable sentence in her surprise.
"Yeah a date," Will repeated. "You know with that Willow from last night,"
"It's not a date!" Irma defended. "I'm just going to show her some of my water powers that's all,"
"Yeah cos its not like you never been down this road with a certain other redhead girl who shall remain nameless is it?" Will smiled holding her head upwards with her eyes closed.
"That was different!" Irma insisted. "We were fourteen at the time! And besides-," Irma cut herself off briefly. "You really think she's…?" She asked suddenly curious but not daring to finish the question.
"Well there's the way you two kept looking at each other last night. The way she saw you out. Plus the fact you don't really know any real witchcraft since your powers come with the whole Guardian gig and then there's-,"
"All right already! Geez!" Irma said cutting her off and going into a pout.
"Seriously though just be careful ok? I'd hate to see anything bad happen to you," Will said sincerely putting a reassuring hand on her friends shoulder.
"I will," Irma said placing her hand over Will's. "And its, nice to know you care,"
"Always," Will smiled back.
The two arrived in front of Sheffield high. They headed in after Will had secured her bike in the bike rack to find Taranee and Cornelia near Will's locker. Cornelia was playing with her cell phone and was looking rather annoyed.
"Hey guys!" Will 'greeted cheerily.
"Grr I swear it's like training a pet monkey!" Cornelia growled has she stared daggers at her cell phone.
"Huh?" Will leaned towards Taranee with a confused look on her face.
"Caleb." Taranee answered. "He was supposed to meet us last night for our whole slayer stakeout but he never showed up. Remember?" The group had gotten Caleb his own cell phone for his birthday a few months ago. Unfortunately since he wasn't especially fluent in modern day technology making him use the damn thing was like trying to make the earth stop spinning.
"Oh yeah!" Will said realization dawning. "Wow I hope nothings happened to him,"
"He probably got pulled away to Metamoor. You know what he's bin, like since this whole Phobos coming back business. He seems to disappear every few days," Irma said waving her hand dismissively.
"Yeah. Your probably right Irma," Will agreed. C'mon we gotta get to first period anyway,"
Metamoor.
Caleb slowly pulled himself back into consciousness. He didn't know how long he'd been out for but he felt very different. He seemed to be surging with new strength. He felt has if something that now seemed small and insignificant had been removed from his being and discarded like a piece of trash. He was also hungry. Near ravenous in fact. But not for food at least not the food he was accustomed to. He needed something different. Something stronger.
Has he surveyed his surroundings he noted he was in a 'dungeon. The palace dungeons if he was not mistaken. The door slid open and he exited and turned to his left were the snake like monster known has Cedric one of his most hated enemies waited.
"Its about time you woke up," Cedric hissed in an irritated tone. Staring harshly at the late rebel leader.
"I'm hungry," Caleb answered simply.
"Indeed and I have the perfect meal for you," Cedric grinned has he dropped a torn photograph in front of him.
Caleb picked up the picture and examined it. He smiled evilly feeling his new elongated canines poke at his lips. What a perfect first meal he thought to himself.
Yup that's right. But don't worry have faith and it will all work out just keep reading and you'll see soon enough. Chapter 13 coming in the next couple of days.
