Chapter 12- The Attack

Wills' POV

Will groaned and sat up groggily. The last thing she remembered, there had been a loud crash, then she figured she had hit her head or something like that, because that was the last thing she remembered. She shook her head and looked around, still a little groggy.

"Awake at last, guardian?" a menacing voice behind her sneered. She whipped her head around, her hair flying in her eyes briefly before settling back into place.

"Phobos!" she cried, glaring at him with pure hate, "It can't be! You're supposed to be in Candracar! I have to be dreaming!"

"No dream guardian", Phobos sneered, "You're a prisoner, and with the guardians and the rightful heir out of the way, there is nothing standing in my way!"

"Let me out!" Will yelled as Phobos left, "Get back here, let us go!"

But Will was helpless to do anything as Phobos left. She hit the bars with a few well aimed energy blast, but it did nothing to weaken the bars.

"Arrr…" Will muttered angrily, "How did he get out? This has to be a dream"

"Uuuuunnnhhh", Will looked around at the sound of the groan, and saw Irma stirring and trying to get up.

"Irma!" Will abandoned her attempts to break out of their prison, and made to help her friend, "You okay?"
"What in the world happened?" Irma asked, "And for future reference, I don't care if that's a horrible cliché"

"Phobos", Will said flatly, "He's back"

"WHAT!" Irma screamed, jumping up, "Back? Can't we do anything right?"

"Uh, evidently not", Will said, "We'll fix this, don't worry, we just need a plan"

"Yea, right, a plan", Irma said, "Got one?"

"No", Will said, "But when do I ever?"

"Good point", Irma said, "We'll think of something, I'm sure of it"

"Uh…" Elyon and Hay Lin were stirring, and starting to come around, "What happened?" Elyon asked groggily, "What's going on?"

"You explain Irma", Will said tiredly, "I'm not in the mood to explain anymore"

"Phobos is back", Irma said, "We messed up, he didn't stay in the Tower of Mist we're he belonged, now he's looking to reclaim the throne, take over both worlds…the usual"

"And how are we supposed to stop him?" Elyon asked, "We're stuck here, can we even get out?"

"We'll find a way", Will said, trying to sound more confident then she was," I know we will"

"Yea, but-hey!" Hay Lin exclaimed suddenly, "What happened to Cornelia and Taranee?"

"Oh man!" Will cried, "I completely forgot about them, where could they be?"

"We have to find them", Irma said, "Whoa, did I just say that about Cornelia? Well, Taranee's with her, so I'll let it go"

"We need to get out of here first!" Will exclaimed, kicking the bars, "Ow!"

"Well Will, that was smart", Irma said kiddingly, "You okay?"

"Ow, yea, I'm fine", she muttered. But in all reality, she wasn't fine. It wasn't her now throbbing foot that bothered her. There was more to it then that. And she wasn't sure her friends would understand.

"What's wrong Will?" Hay Lin asked. Will should have known she couldn't keep anything from Hay Lin for long. Hay Lin could tell how people were feeling as if they were wearing their feelings on their sleeves. And Will knew she looked like she was feeling pretty down at the moment.

"There's just so much we have to do", she said quietly, "We have to break out of here, find Cornelia and Taranee, figure out a way to reverse what ever is happening on earth…oh no"

"What?" Irma and Hay Lin said at the same time.

"Heatherfield!" Will exclaimed, feeling more miserable than ever, "We left it completely unguarded! Oooo, I don't believe it, who knows what's happening there now!"

"That's it!" Hay Lin said, turning to the bars on the door, "It's one thing to threaten the world, but when you threaten my home, you are going way too far!" she aimed at the bars, "Air!"

A gust of wind blew out of Hay Lins' hands, stronger and stronger, hitting the bars. Will could see the bars budge a little, and looked at Hay Lin with a smile, which quickly faded after one glimpse at her friend. Hay Lin was starting to look a little tired, and with good reason: those bars weren't moving anywhere anytime soon. Suddenly…

Claang!

"Well that oughtta wake up the neighbors", Irma in a satisfied voice, "You guys do realize I'm a ghost now, right? I could have flown through those bars so easily…"

"Thank you Irma", Will said, grabbing Hay Lins shoulder to prevent her from falling out of pure exhaustion, "And, for all of us who aren't transparent, we're out of luck"

"Meanwhile you did a really good job on those bars Hay Lin", Elyon said, peering out of the cell, "Not sure it was the quietest job, but it was pretty good"

"Thanks", Hay Lin said with a wan smile, "We'd better get going before someone comes down here to check out the noise"

"Fair point", Irma said, "Your castle Elyon, lead the way"

Elyon walked out of the cell, Will, Irma, and Hay Lin close behind. They walked out of the dungeon, and Will found herself thinking, This is to easy. Phobos wouldn't let us just break out like this, no way, he's got to have a reason. And what about Taranee and Cornelia? Is Phobos planning on using them as bait, or what? When did this get so confusing?

ROAR!" a resounding roar from behind them made them all jump, and when they turned around, they saw the last thing in the world they ever wanted to: Cedric.

"I knew this was too easy!" Will exclaimed, "I knew it!"

"So now what?" Elyon asked, eyeing Cedric wearily.

"We fight back", Will said. She, Irma, and Hay Lin took off for the air, preparing to fight

A/N-oooooo, another cliffy! Boy, I'm getting good at this. As per usual, wait another week, and then I'll update. Hopefully.
