Hi! Thanks for the reviews! (Note to craziegirlie4eva: I try very hard to find all my mistakes. I read my work A LOTbefore publishing it. Darn Microsoft Word, they don't catch everything! And plus, every time I save changes, words get scrunched up and a lot of my spaces disappear! LoL! Anyway, thanks for pointing my mistakes. Oh and the cliffhanger? I enjoy pointing them in…I'm evil like that!) Enjoy the chappie.

Four of the five Guardians stepped into the portal. One remained standing next to the rebel leader...

Cornelia stood there with her arms over her chest. She wasn't ready to go back to Meridian. She saw Caleb standing there, motioning her to go through the portal. But she wasn't about to go through it. So she walked away from it...and from Caleb. She looked at the portal and it reminded her of Elyon. It reminded her that Elyon was dead.

Caleb watched Cornelia. She started to shake. Her face turned red and her eyes filled with tears. Caleb walked over to her and hugged her. He knew she needed a shoulder to cry on.

He whispered to her, "What's the matter?"

Cornelia's POV:

Caleb's so caring. I wish I could just tell him. But I can't. It's not the right time. And plus, what if he doesn't feel the same way?

- - - - -

Cornelia sniffed. She said quietly,"I…I can't go back to Meridian. Not after what happened." After saying that, Caleb knew exactly why she was crying...she still upset about Elyon. He continued to hug her. Hugging her was one of the greatest moments of his life. The other moments? Surviving near-death experiences. But hugging Cornelia? That took the number one spot...or so he thought. A few minutes passed by and Cornelia stopped crying. She pulled apart from Caleb and kissed his check as a thank you. Now that was the greatest moment of his life.

FLASH BACK

- - - - -

Will yelled, "WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM? WHERE ARETHEY?WHEN THEY GET HERE I'M GONNA…" But a cat's purr stopped her. Will turned around and glared at the cat. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Will said. But the cat just stared at her. Well duh, it's just a cat. "YOU STUPID CAT!" Will yelled.

"Uh…guys? I think Will's going crazy…" Irma said. Taranee and Hay Lin nodded in agreement. I mean really, she's talking to a cat! And she opened a portal...in the Silver Dragon. If that's not crazy, what is?

Then Will jumped on the cat and started to punch it. In return the cat scratched her and so on. It was a brutal fight. Irma started laughing her head off, Taranee stood with bulging eyes, and Hay Lin said, "Poor kitty."

When Will stepped up from the ground, she had scratches all over her face. Her neat hair was all messed up. But the cat didn't want to give up. And Will saw that. She was about to jump on it again but the 3 Guardians prevented that from happening by grabbing her. Irma and Taranee held onto her arms and Hay Lin shooed the cat away.

A few minutes passed by after the cat incident.

"Maybe we should go back…" Irma said, still holding on to Will's arm.

"That would be a good idea, as to how Will's frothing." Taranee said pointing to Will's mouth. She was, indeed, frothing. Her eyes bulged out and her hair was still a mess. And now, she was frothing. Great…wait a minute. I thought only dogs frothed...never mind.

Hay Lin nodded as she grabbed Will's kicking legs. Will tried to break free, but she couldn't. They wouldn't let go of her. "WAIT! WE NEED TO FIND HER! AAAARRRGGGGHHHHH!" Will screamed. But Taranee and Irma continued tobacked up into the portal still holding on to Will's flapping arms and Hay Lin started walking forward with Will's kicking legs.

- - - - -

"So…you ready to go?" Cornelia said walking toward the portal.

"Yeah…but first, I need to tell you something." Caleb said. At this point, his stomach starting doing flips.

"Ok…" Cornelia said. She wondered what he was going to tell her, although she sort of knew…

Caleb gathered up his courage and said, "Cornelia…I…I lo…" But right before he could finish, Taranee, Irma, and Hay Lin stepped out of the portal holding Will. "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" Will screamed. Will was still frothing, her eyes were still huge, and her hair was still messed up.

Perfect timing, huh?

OK! That wraps up chapter 3. Hope you liked it. Anyways, please review.
