Chapter Two: Vision and a Mystery

OOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOO

Her eyes snapped open, but as she turned to Caleb he looked like a ghost, as a soldier seemed to run through him. Reddish eyes turned to the sky then to see Hay Lin and Cornelia locked in a fierce battle. It was then their images turned to ghosts and the surrounding area turned normal again, as the people still went through the veil, but some stayed and were looking at her in concern. She distantly felt hands on her shoulders; she could hardly feel their touch. She shivered then, as the scene changed to Irma and Hay Lin fighting Cornelia. The ex-guardian smirked then and pulled out a black ball of sorts and launched it at them, as their screams of pain filled the sky….

Coldness rose up as everything shifted to black…

"WILL!"

Suddenly her eyes snapped as she realized she was lying on the ground quickly sat up feeling dizzy as she took in her surroundings. Almost all of the people were gone, but her mind was on the vision she just had, if she didn't hurry Hay Lin and Irma would be lost. Caleb turned just as she stood up shakily and he helped steady her. "Will talk to me what did you see?"

She shook her head no, she didn't have time for this as she turned and locked eyes with Caleb as she pulled her arm out of his grasp. "There's no time, I have to go!" She shouted. With that feeling her wings moving she leaped off the ground and into the air and flew towards the tugging.

"Will! Stop! Come Back!" Caleb called, but it was too late his wife was already out of his sight and heading towards the battlefield. Steeling himself he began to gather the remaining people through the portal knowing it could close at anytime. 'Please be safe Will' He thought taking one last glance.

OOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOO

The wind beat hard against her face as she flew into the sky the camp soon disappearing from her sight as she looked ahead. Distantly she heard the cries of men and sword clashing and picked up the pace, a breeze suddenly blasted by throwing her slightly off balance as she floated in the air. Smoke brushed past as she strained her sight and could make out Hay Lin's form and spinning around flew towards the Chinese girl. "Hay Lin!" She shouted.

She paused from creating a whirlwind and watched the redhead fly closer. "Will what are you doing here I know it doesn't take that short amount of time to get people through the portal." She commented keeping an eye on the battle below her.

"Where's Irma!" Will demanded and at the other girls finger pointing she looked over to see the Guardian of Water in the process of creating a storm. "Look I just had a vision." She said a little loudly over the wind.

Hay Lin's eyes widened then as she completely forgot about the battle raging below for an instant.

"And." She pressed anything would be valuable at this moment of time.

"Cornelia's coming and originally I wasn't there and the two of you fell she defeated you using some kind of black energy orb." Will said her hair whipping around her face wildly as thunder boomed in the background.

"So that was the plan." Hay Lin muttered her eyes going distant before she turned. "Irma! Come over here quick!" She shouted.

The guardian of water flew over and looked between both girls before her eyes settled on Hay Lin. "What is it?" She asked.

"I think I know why Cornelia's coming. Phobos must have set up this battle as a distraction knowing we'll come out and Will stays behind, and he was going to use the same spell he used on Corny towards us."

"That bastard!" Irma growled out her facial expression was full of fury, but it lightened when she turned towards the redhead with a small smile. "Let me guess Will vision." She joked.

"Yeah, but at least we will be ready this time." Hay Lin said darkly.

"That's a good thing, because here she is coming now!" Will shouted as the other two guardians turned as distantly a speck of yellow could be seen flying right at them.

"Okay Will you have to remember this really isn't Cornelia, it may look like her, know her memories, but it isn't her! It's just a demon using her as a shell, she will feel no true pain!" Irma shouted in warning raising up her hands as water began to gather, Hay Lin forming a mini tornado between her fingers.

Will nodded and processed the information automatically raising her hands and looking down was surprised to see pink lights sparking and crackling around her fingertips. 'My powers have grown overtime' She thought brown eyes looking back towards the speck that was getting closer. Distantly she remembered how she had to use the Heart before to even summon up some of her power. As if her body was acting on it's own her hands raised and pointed towards Cornelia's location as the energy crackled. Out of the corner of her eyes she saw Hay Lin and Irma float down to right next to her as their hands crossed over her own as they waited.

Cornelia came into view almost too quickly as the blonde gave them an evil look as her eyes trailed down to their hands as she held up her own dark green energy crackling. All at once she threw her power out towards them, and as one the girls blasted out their own powers making a beam of colored light. Both collided in the middle and fought for control, but three out powered one and as Cornelia was hit she was sent flying head over heels several feet away.

"It's not over yet." Hay Lin whispered before they instantly separated and flew in opposite directions.

She was proven correct as only minutes later the blonde flew back and looked at each guardian equally for several minutes. While below the battle raged on before the girl spoke her voice cold. "I have been sent for a reason. Phobos wishes to give you a chance to join his side freely, he promises not to harm you in any way and offers power in return." Will stopped in her flight and hovered in the air as she heard Cornelia's words. "Think about it Will, no more war, there will be peace." She murmured.

"You mean enslavement!" Irma shouted from nearby her hands already creating a small amount of water as she prepared to strike.

Will was thinking about it she had barely heard Irma's voice as she thought about it. No more war, even if she didn't remember three years of her life, from what everyone said this wasn't a kind war. Worse than the one they fought the first time yet would she back down, the people would be enslaved, and hope would fall, but no more fighting. She was so caught up in her mind she didn't see Cornelia move her hand as green energy blasted out towards the ground.

"Will look out!" Hay Lin shouted.

Breaking out of her thoughts the redhead barely dodged a tree that had appeared out of no where, but gave a small groan of pain as it brushed roughly against her ankle. Wincing she reached a hand to touch it, but suddenly moved out of the way as vines started attacking trying to hook her. Using her wings she pushed herself into a backwards flip before flying down then straight up to see Cornelia's fingers working to follow her. It was then she remembered something as a voice rose in her mind.

"During battle, the heart turned black briefly as a green light came flying at you, you absorbed it, but fell into a coma. When you woke days later, you told us her last moments and in the process you gained the powers of Earth."

'That's it, what am I doing flying away?' Will thought before pausing and raising a hand below her. 'Okay focus you can do this.' Hearing a scream she saw that Hay Lin had been caught in the vines.She closed her eyes. 'Common, common!' It hit her instantly the strange feeling warmth and focusing on it she thought of Cornelia, her friend before this terrible experience. Sure at first they didn't get along and had arguments, but it got better and they became close. Suddenly the warmth increased as it spread while inside she felt the heart change some. Hearing another scream her eyes snapped open to see Irma trapped as well. 'I can do this!' Will shouted as the heart itself began to beat in her ears as her outfit glowed green changing. "Hey Corny! How about a taste of your own medicine!" She shouted and threw out a hand as green light blasted down freeing Irma and Hay Lin.

Waiting until they were out of sight she turned her attention to the blonde and thought sadly. 'I'm sorry.' Inside she felt the heart respond to her quiet plea as the power grew. Quickly she refocused the vines the blonde's way at lightening speed trapping the other girl in place. "Cornelia this is going to hurt, but only for a moment then you will be back to yourself again." She began softly inwardly she felt something stirring and knew what she had to do if they wanted their Cornelia back again.

The blonde fought and glared at the redhead as the Leader of the Guardians flew closer till she was a few feet away her hands shimmering a green light. Knowing she had to escape even if it meant stalling the plan for a little longer she would do it. She wouldn't allow these others to put back her goody self the one thing she was glad was gone. Will, would prove to be a worthy challenge when she returned as she waited for the right moment gathering a burst of her power and slowly pointed a finger to the ground. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to reject your offer. I'm happy this way." She whispered.

"Hurry Will we don't have a lot of time." Hay Lin muttered urgently as Irma disappeared briefly from the sky.

'Just a little more time, wait just wait.' Cornelia thought as she felt the Earth move, her little distraction would just be enough to work.

Will nodded as she flew closer to the blonde one hand on her heart the other reaching out towards the blonde all she had to do was touch the Guardian of Earth's forehead.

"Incoming!" Irma shouted arrows flying upward and headed towards Will's direction, distracted the redhead loosened her hold on the vines just a little. Cornelia saw her chance and threw her hand up and directed the arrows after all three guardians as the vines fell completely around one hand. "Will, stop Cornelia!" Irma added before diving to the right and formed a water shield to block the arrows.

"It's too late guardians!" The blonde shouted breaking free just as the redhead was about to adjust her grip again. "Before I go let me leave you a parting gift." She murmured squeezing her hands together causing green light to flood over as more arrows shout into the sky all at once. "Until next time!" She shouted before flying away.

Will spread out her hands and blasted the arrows away and bit back a cry of pain as one scraped against her wing and shoulder blade. She was distracted holding her own as Irma cried out as Hay Lin quickly created a blast of wind to knock all the arrows away from the battlefield. Reddish brown eyes looked over at the two remaining guardians to see Irma cursing and pulling an arrow out of her shoulder before flying over. They both were watching her carefully. "What?"

"Nothing it just seems we have the Guardian of Earth now." Irma commented quietly nodding at the redhead's outfit.

Looking down Will saw the long skirt was still there, but back to pink, with a green top as she realized she was wearing Cornelia's exact outfit down to the small boots. Confused she looked to both girls then to her fingertips to see the green energy still crackling around them. Inside of her she could still feel the Heart beating right along with her own, even her power was there. Quickly her mind was starting to catch onto something, something very important that could help them greatly.

"Will what happened up there when we caught Cornelia, I mean before you have been able to summon the powers of Earth, but not change you outfit or anything. You went all glowy and I saw something I rarely saw in Corny's eyes for a long time now. Fear. What's going on?" Irma demanded as the cries of battle slowly began to fade as the enemy was retreating.

She thought about what had happened and it came to her suddenly just as the blondes smiling face on the day they met at the mall. "Do you remember the day we lost Cornelia to Phobos?" She asked and seeing nods continued. "What if she saw what was going to happen to her before it did."

"What are you trying to get at Will?" Hay Lin asked hope rising up.

"I'm saying what if her powers were not the only thing she sent to the heart that day? What if she sent her soul as well to be safely kept until we restored it to her? So she would never loose it and could come back to our side?" Will muttered her voice edging on excitement as she felt something glowing from the Heart in response.

"It would explain why you had such access to her powers and every time you have used them it's felt like Cornelia's been fighting with us again. And now this latest development, I think you may be on to something Will, we have to tell Caleb this." Hay Lin murmured as her hope grew. If they could get the blonde back, their friend back this whole war would become lighter.

"What about below?" Irma asked pointing down while still clutching her injured arm.

Hay Lin waved a hand as she whispered the word "Air", as a breeze rose up to blow away the smoke. The rebels were already headed back to base camp and there didn't seem to be too many dead, just the giant tree Cornelia had created. "Lets go." She muttered as they flew down to land on the ground in front of everyone.

"Stasis?" Irma commanded.

"A few casualties, but that is all." A soldier reported.

"Let's head back then." Will added quietly as they started walking her mind spinning over the possibilities. If Cornelia had really sent her soul into the heart there was still hope of not killing the blonde. She had never wanted to do that in the first place, even if it was a demon in her place. It did make sense if the Heart could hold the guardian's powers what's not to say it couldn't hold their souls either? Sighing she rubbed a temple as the group began to walk around the giant tree.

They made it back in no time to see an empty camp with Caleb standing nearby and some men as well. All looked worried as the rest of the army approached; if the brown haired teen looked shocked at the change in Will's outfit he didn't say anything. "It's good all of you have come back in one piece." He muttered.

"For the most part some injuries, and Irma was shot in the arm with an arrow." Hay Lin muttered quietly.

"Then lets get them bandaged up, I have a feeling you need to explain something?" He questioned and receiving nods waved a hand as a man stepped forward carrying a bag as the two guardian's headed back to the main tent with Caleb behind them. The flap opened as they all stepped through and situated themselves with Hay Lin and Will on top of the bed and Caleb taking a spare chair. He looked at his wife's outfit as confusion filled him. "What happened here?"

"That's the weird part, while we were fighting Cornelia and were losing when something strange happened. I didn't just channel her powers it was almost like I became her…" Will whispered trailing off to look down at her guardian outfit.

"I have a theory." Hay Lin added quietly.

"Which is?" Caleb asked leaning forward.

"I watched part of the battle between the two of them Will had Cornelia trapped, but didn't finish her instead she started glowing. It was then I saw something I haven't seen in that demon's eyes. I saw fear, fear of what Will was about to do to her."

"And?"

"I think that the day we lost Corny that not only did she transfer her powers to Will, but also her soul. She made sure Phobos didn't burn it away, that we could restore her one day back to our side." Hay Lin finished.

Caleb was silent for the longest of times as he looked over at his wife who was nervously playing with her pink skirt. "Is that possible?" He asked his voice subdued, if there was a chance it would be a great help to their side.

Will looked up from playing with her skirt. "It could be, we don't know much about the heart's origins, but if it can store our powers, what's not stopping it from storing the souls of guardians as well? Maybe Cornelia wanted it to happen badly enough so it did, it would explain why this happened." She added holding up her arms to display the outfit change.

The rebel leader paused his green eyes distant before standing and adjusting his jacket. "Lets finish this later, back when we are on our bases on Earth and more time to think about it and maybe find some answers. We should get going."

They nodded and stood up exiting the tent, each caught up in their own thoughts to really say much. The redhead focused on their location before waving her hand as pink light flared out to form a portal that each stepped through before it vanished. Putting a hand on her chest she focused inward as light blasted out reverting them back to human form. Irma gasped out in pain as her powers went away that helped ease her pain, a hand reached out to clasp her shoulder.

"We should get you to a medic and get it checked out." Hay Lin muttered before putting on of Irma's arms over her shoulders as the two exited.

"I should go report, will you be okay here?" Caleb asked as the girl nodded, he placed a kiss on her forehead before walking in the opposite direction of the other two guardians.

It left Will alone to focus on her surroundings, it shocked her when she first found out one of the bases was her own house. Yet she shouldn't have been so surprised, since she was basically the wife of the rebel leader, and leader of the remaining Guardians of the Veil. Sighing she crossed her arms as brown eyes scanned the room, everything looked pretty much as she remembered it, the only things that were different, were the weapons scattered about, clothing, and some food. Most of the survivors were probably in other rooms trying to relax. Everything was so strange to her and she still hadn't figured out how she got here, let alone be able to go back to her time and stop this from happening.

But wasn't that what her older self was trying to do in the first place? Going back in time to fix this future? To warn everyone about Phobos escaping? 'That backfired, or did it?' She thought and went over the previous memories in her mind as they came out in jumbled images. 'I didn't tell anyone about how this spell worked, but I had to have copies of my plan somewhere? Now where would I put something I didn't want anybody else to find? Think Will, think.' It came upon her so suddenly that she almost missed it completely. "That's it." She whispered aloud and moved from her position and exited the kitchen to walk towards the stairs. Will had enough time to look through everything since Irma, Hay Lin, and Caleb were busy for the time.

She had reached the stairs when someone called out her name, so focused on her task at plan, she jumped at the voice whirling around with a hand clasped about the Heart, that was hanging from her neck. Will relaxed her grip immediately when she realized who the person was, it was the teen that she shared a cell with. They stared at each other for a few minutes before the redhead murmured. "Hi."

"Hi. Sorry to startle you like that." He commented his eyes averting from hers to stare at the floor causing his dark hair to fall into his eyes.

"It's okay, I wasn't really paying attention anyway." She added and shoved down the feeling she knew this guy before her. But from where, Will had no recollection of the past three years, so who? "Did you want something?" She asked, not trying to sound rude, but she needed to get to the notebooks.

"Nothing." He said stepping closer to her till they were a few feet apart. "Just to thank you."

"For what?"

"Saving me and my friends."

"No problem, but Caleb was the one who did the work." Will whispered taking a small step back as the other teen closed some more distance till they were only a foot of space between them.

"But you opened the portal, that saved us all from that prison." He whispered.

The redhead had to gulp then; this teen was a little too close for comfort so she took a few steps up the stairs. "I don't even know your name." She muttered uselessly.

"My Earth name doesn't really matter, but you can call me Talon." He said and reached out a hand to touch her shoulder and squeeze it gently.

The feeling sent a tingling through Will, a very familiar tingling, but from where? Shaking it off she carefully removed the hand from her shoulder feeling strange and a little light headed as she stared into those blue eyes. "There's something I need to do." She began wondering suddenly why part of her wanted to stay with this teen, as once more she shoved the strange feeling aside.

"I understand." Talon commented and backed away till he was once more a few feet away. "We will talk again some other time." He added before turning and walking out of the room.

Once he was out of sight Will fell against the banister of the stairwell taking deep breaths to calm her nerves, and heartbeat? Yes, her heart was racing, but why? She didn't even know this person, how could he have this effect on her? She couldn't be feeling love, this sense of familiarity wouldn't leave her alone, and not to mention the way her skin tingled when he touched her. 'He said his Earth name didn't matter that he was called Talon now, that means he is from here. But who is he? I don't need this on top of everything else, maybe I might find out later. I can't ask Caleb though he will freak, and probably go berserk on the poor guy for being friendly. Yet he seemed a little too friendly to me.' Taking a deep breath and weaving her fingers through her hair she began to slowly walk up the stairs. 'Stay calm Will control yourself, the guys probably just grateful to be out of that place, that's all. Worry later.' She thought before reaching the top of the stairs and heading towards her room.

The door creaked open with the sound meaning the hinges hadn't been fixed in a long time. Reddish brown eyes scanned the room at the dust-covered furniture before the teen walked inside and shut the door behind her. Taking short breaths to make sure she didn't sneeze she walked across the room towards her bed as memories visited her briefly She let them fade as they had with time when she reached her bed before kneeling down. Reaching out with her hands she pulled the bed away from the wall coughing a few times as the dust few up and wiped the water from her eyes with the back of her hand.

She crawled over to the place that was revealed when she moved her bed as her head shot up looking around to make sure she was the only one there. Part of her felt like she was reliving something once more while the rest was a little confused. Placing a hand over the heart inside of her shirt she sent her mind out to find the others. Brief snatches of conversation reached her before she let go. Will smiled when she had heard Irma complaining about having to stay lying down until her arrow wound healed, while Hay Lin kept her company. Caleb was still talking with several soldiers over plans to attack the castle she had plenty of time. Briefly her mind strayed to that strange teen as her heart clenched, before she pushed the feeling down.

Shaking her head she reached about her neck to pull the Heart off and hold it by the chain as it glowed brightly waiting for her command. Carefully let go and let the amulet float in the air next to her and began to pry loose a board that was sticking up, wincing a little in pain at the splinters that drove through her fingers. Once finished she put the board aside and took a hold of the Heart once more. Almost knowing what to do she followed by instinct touching the orb of glowing pink light with her fingertips causing energy to sparkle off of them as she pulled away. "Laever." She whispered as bright pink light flashed into the room in a brief flare before fading away. Quickly her eyes looked around and gave a sigh of relief when no one had come to investigate the source of bright light.

Placing the Heart once more back around her neck she blinked a few times to get rid of the dizzy feeling before looking down. What once was a dark hole with a loose board now showed a stack of books with a few items on top, including a necklace and a dagger? Carefully she picked up the dagger as the silver gleamed in the small light, the handle shaped like a dragon and pink in color. 'What is all this?' She thought idly before setting the dagger in her lap along with the amulet, those could be studied later; something inside was telling her the books were the important part.

Feeling her hands start to shake she took another deep breath and coughed a few times in the dust before pulling out the notebooks, then the ancient text that was under them. Making sure she had everything she picked up the first notebook opening it and began to read the older pages nervous about what she would find….

OOooooOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOooooooOOOOOoooooOOOOooooOO
