Hey! Thanks for the great reviews! And by the way, Caleb's character is coming from the book. He's so much nicer in the books. Sorry it took me a while to write… BTW: This is the biggest Chappie yet. Alright…remember, R&R…I love hearing what you have to say, flame or not.
Cornelia glared at her friends for a very long time. They knew it too. They also knew that it was because Caleb was going to tell her that he loved her and blah, blah, blah.
Caleb couldn't believe it. As he watched Cornelia glare at her friends, it gave him the crazy idea that she might just like him back. Of course, this was Cornelia so he couldn't be too sure. Come on Caleb! Get a clue!
Will's screaming got to everyone. "AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH! LET ME GO!"
"Will! What are you talking about? We let go of you 5 minutes ago! What wrong with you?" Irma yelled. Neither she, nor the other Guardians noticed the light turn on in the kitchen.

IN THE KITCHEN

"What's going on out there?"
- - - -
And then all of a sudden...Will snapped out of her uh…trance and asked, "Wh-What's going on?"
"Um…you went crazy. End of story." Irma said.
When Cornelia turned her back on her friends, she saw the kitchen light on. At first she thought one of them just left the light on…but then she heard footsteps.
"Will…WILL!" Cornelia yelled, but it was too late. The kitchen door opened and everyone froze. Yan Lin stepped out to the dinning room of the Silver Dragon. Everyone sighed.
"Guardians? What are you doing out here? And why is there a portal in the restaurant?" Yan Lin asked.
"The Heart showed us a girl…a Guardian…" Will said. But Will started feeling dizzy. Her legs were swaying beneath her.
"Will? Are you okay?" Taranee asked. Everyone's eyes were stuck on Will.
Will started feeling more and more nauseous. Caleb held her steady because her legs looked like they were about to give in.
"I'm fine." Will said. But that wasn't the truth. When Will looked around the room, everything was spinning. Then, Will collapsed into Caleb's arms.

Will's Dream

Note: Will is in a third person view. Sorry if this is really confusing/cheesy.
Will, the other guardians, and Caleb were running toward a cave. They were on a mountain top, so it was snowing.
"CORNELIA! ARE YOU IN THERE?" Will yelled into the cave.
"YEAH…I NEED YOUR HELP! AAAHHH! " Cornelia yelled.
Will, the other Guardians, and Caleb ran into the cave. They saw Cornelia dodging jagged icicles produced by…the new Guardian! But before they could reach them, the new Guardian blasted them back out with blow of ice cold wind. They lay in the freezing snow for a while until they remembered what was happening. Cornelia was still in the cave fighting the N/G (new Guardian)! They ran back to the entrance of the cave, but unfortunately the N/G blocked it with a gigantic piece of ice. It would take Taranee a long time to melt it.
"OK . . . is Cornelia going to last in there with only her earth powers?" Will asked.
"Guys…I have bad news…there's permafrost (premenantly frozen ground) here…Cornelia's not going to live." Taranee said.
"Wait…I thought that only existed in…" Irma began, but Taranee finished her sentence.
"Remember, we're in Meridian now." Taranee reminded her. "Wait…do you even know what permafrost is?"
"Yea…no..." Irma said.
Will noticed Caleb walked away from their little group. She looked around for him and found him at the edge of the mountain side. She walked over to him.
"You're upset about Cornelia, aren't you?" Will asked.
Caleb didn't answer her.
Will said, "We know you like her Caleb…you didn't tell her yet, huh…"
"Maybe…but every time I try to tell her, I get interrupted…by 4 particular girls…" Caleb said.
"Hey! Ok…maybe we do interrupt you, but I promise if Cornelia lives we're not going to interrupt you anymore." Will replied.
"What do you mean 'if Cornelia lives'? She's going to live right?" Caleb asked.
"We're not sure…" Will said. She felt really bad saying that, but it was the truth. Tears fell from Caleb's eyes. What if I never get to see her again? he thought. What if I never get to tell her?
"She's not going to die…she's not going to die….she not going to…"

Will's eyes fluttered open. She forgot everything she dreamt. Her vision was blurry, but she could tell everyone was crowded around her. She looked around her…Hay Lin's bedroom, she thought. Then different people started saying different things…
"Thank goodness…"
"Are you ok?"
"What happened to you?"
"How do you feel?"
Will didn't know who said who. She blinked hard and regained her sight.
"What's going on?" Will asked.
"You fainted. Are you ok?" Taranee said.
"My dream…my dream…" But no matter how many times she said it, she couldn't remember any part of her dream.
"What are you talking about?" Cornelia asked bitterly. She was really mad, but no one really knew why.
"Never mind…" Will murmured. Yan Lin left the room and then came back with a glass of water. Yan Lin handed it to Will who drank it quickly. "Thanks." Will whispered. Yan Lin nodded as a you're welcome.
"Grandma, do you know anything about a 6th Guardian? The Heart of Kandrakar showed us an image of a Guardian. She had a Guardian outfit and…oh and she had an ice crown." Hay Lin said.
"I'm sorry girls. There's no 6th Guardian. But you could be talking about Blair, the Keeper of the Heart of Ice." Yan Lin said.
"So you mean there's two Hearts?" Will asked. She was confused.
"No…ok, I'll tell you everything I know about her (a/n: this is going to be very long). Blair lived some where around here. She was supposed to be the Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar…it wasn't supposed to be you, Will…" Yan Lin said.
"Wait…if you replace the W with a B in W.i.t.c.h. that makes it…hey!" Hay Lin said. Everyone except Yan Lin burst out laughing.
"Hay Lin!" Yan Lin said. "Anyway, she was the supposed Keeper of the Heart. I'm not sure how, but she knew that she was going to be the new Keeper…and so did Phobos. He wanted to steal the Heart. Blair was strong and powerful-not that you aren't Will-and Phobos decided it would be hard to steal the Heart away from her. After months of research and planning, he found out important information from an old book:
The destined Keeper cannot be
If her heart beats twice
With the Heart of Ice.
"Phobos sent Cedric out to find the Heart of Ice. It took Cedric two years to find it, but he did. With the Heart of Ice, Phobos's plan could be carried out. He could prevent Blair from becoming the Keeper.
"Now all Cedric had to do was look for Blair. When he finally found her, I don't know how, but he tricked Blair into taking the Heart of Ice…She couldn't be the Keeper any more… "
"So what does the Heart of Ice do?" Irma said.
"All I'm sure of is it's a curse. The Heart of Ice fills the beholder's heart with hatred. That's why Blair couldn't be the Keeper." Yan Lin said. And with saying that, she left.
"Ok…That was weird…" Irma said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"So…let's wait till tomorrow to go to Meridian." Will said.
"Ok…" Everyone except Irma agreed.
"But only if you promise won't go crazy!" Irma said.
"It's a deal." Will said. After saying that, Will took out the Heart of Kandrakar transformed everyone back to normal.
ALRIGHT! I hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry again for not writing sooner. Remember to review! Tootles!
