After Fruity Smooth...
The five girls...and Caleb were all walking doing nothing; just talking and laughing at what they were saying. Will and Irma were talking something about Meridian, HayLin and Taranee were talking about an assignment they had to do (cause HayLin didn't get it), and Cornelia and Caleb were way in the front, none of the girls could hear them at all.
"What are you reading, Cornelia?", Caleb asked catching up to her. "Ugh, the worst book ever made...chemestry book", Cornelia replied with a frown, closing the book shut with a big thud!. "If you hate it so much, then why are you reading it?", he asked in confusion. "Because, it's part of my homework. I have to read this stupid book for tomorrow", Cornelia said to Caleb. "Oh, ok...", Caleb just tried to make little conversations. "Yeah well, at least you don't have to do any of this. You didn't even have to go to school in Meridian. Why does Earth have to be so civilized?", she said sarcastically. "Yeah, well, any time you want to ditch this place, you can come and find me. We can fight, and fight, and fight, and did I mention fight?", Caleb said mocking her. "Ok, you have a point there. I wouldn't want to fight all day either", she smiled sweetly."...but I'm glad that you still fight...for Earth", she looked down turning pink. "I don't only do it for the good of people, I do it also to protect the most beautiful girl I've ever seen", he replied to her. He was blushing a lot. Cornelia and Caleb stopped and looked at each other. "I-", was all Cornelia said before she fell on her knees. "Cornelia! Are you ok?", Caleb asked worried, while he went to his knees to help her. "Ugh, I feel...so dizzy..."she whispered before collapsing in Caleb's arms (NO SHE IS NOT DEAD, REMEMBER YOU PICKED C!). "Cornelia!", he screamed. He carried her up in his arms. "What happened, Caleb!", Will yelled running towards them, with the girls right behind. "I don't know, I was just telling her that I-...she was just about to say something before she got on her knees. She said she felt dizzy and fainted", he said with worry in his voice.
"What? That's not possible! She was just fine when she was walking...right?", HayLin asked Caleb. "Yeah, she was just fine, that only happens when...Oh no", he gasped. "What!", Will aksed with fear. "We have to go to Mrs. Lin, now", he said running with Cornelia in his arms. The four girls ran as fast as they could to the Silver Dragon.
"Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin!", Caleb shouted as he entered the back door. "What is it Cal-. What happened?", she asked touching Cornelia's forehead. "We don't know! She was walking so normal, then she just fainted!", HayLin panted as she ran through the door with all the other girls. "Hmmm...what did she eat before this happened?",Mrs. Linasked. "Well, not exactly eat, but drink...we went to get some smoothies", HayLin replied. "Yes, uh-huh. Did Cornelia ever mentioned what kind of smoothie she liked before to any of you?", Mrs. Lin asked. "She told me this one time when we were talking about smoothies. She said that her favorite kind was Strawberry-Banana", Irma thought as she told her memory. "Where were you when she told you?", Mrs. Lin asked...again. "It was a while back, we were at the same public library where...Cedric...used to work", she bit her lip as she just realized what had just happened. "Now I know! I've heard of some kind of poison that the Meridian guards would put into the food or drink of a prisoner who was of no more use to them...to kill them", he whispered. They all gasped. "But it was a slow process. It took like 3 days until the person who took the poison would die...", Caleb added quickly before they got too worried. Caleb went over to a counter and put several clothes on top of it, then put Cornelia on it.
"How could've that poison gotten to her drink? You didn't see the human form of Cedric anywhere, did you?", Mrs. Lin asked. "No, we didn't", Taranee replied. "Well, the guy who made the smoothie didn't look from somewhere else...right?", Will nervously said. "Sure, that's only cause you like him!", Irma chanted. "I DO NOT!", Will protested. "This is no time to argue about a guy! If Cornelia did drink the poison, we would have to find anything that would keep her from...", Caleb said angryly. "Oh, right, you wouldn't want to lose your lo-", Irma was saying, but prefered to not say it. "Caleb is right. Anyway, what was the boy's name?", Mrs. Lin added. "His name was...Kurt, I think", Will responded. "Oh no! That is the name of one of the most secret spy from Meridean. No one has ever known his identity! It all fits together, Cedric must've assigned him to put the poison in the Strawberry-Banana smoothie, since he already knew Cornelia drinks that", Mrs. Lin explained.
Caleb looked back to see the heavenly angel, his angel, shivering with the wind. She looked so pale. Caleb sneaked towards her, took of his jacket, and covered her with it. "Caleb, come on, we're going down to the garage to look up the poison!", HayLin yelled from a distance. "I'll make it all better, I won't leave you, Cornelia, you can count on me. I won't let you leave me here...I promise...", he whispered, putting his arms around her, giving her a quick kiss on her forehead, turning a little red, but not losing his serious face. He quickly ran downstairs with the other girls.
After he left, Cornelia groaned softly as her body glowed a soft pink. After a few seconds, the glow floated up into the air and left the Silver Dragon up into the sky. "Ugh, uh, Ca-Cale-b...", she groaned, opening her eyes slowly. "What happened? Where am I?", she whispered to herself. She sat up, her legs dangling. "Huh? What's this?", she spotted Caleb's jacket fell onto the floor as she sat up. She slowly got down from the counter and picked up the jacket. "Oh, Caleb...", she whispered, smiling dreamy-like.
"What is it, Caleb?", Will asked. "Um, I'll be right back, I heard something up there...", he said looking up towards the stairs. "It's probably nothing, Caleb, now pay attention!", Irma said turning his face towards the book in the table in front of them. "Ok, ok", Caleb whispered, but his eyes never left the stair case. "Anyway, it says here that this type of poison has...one side effect to it, which makes it curable. It says that it has to do with...the affection of the victim's true love?", Will said confusingly. Everyone looked up at Caleb. "What?", he asked looking at them confusingly. "Wha-what's going on, guys?", they all turned to the stairs and saw a confused Cornelia standing in front of them. "Cornelia! You're awake! I mean, we were all woried", Caleb exclaimed, but blushed when he said the last part. "Well, Caleb, what did you do to make some of the poison go away, huh?", Irma grinned. "Uh...", Caleb responded turning furiously red. "What? What poison?...AM I POISONED!" Cornelia yelled as hard as her voice could. "Calm down, Corny, we already found something that will cure you...will it?", Taranee explained. "Well, it says that if the bond is strong enough, then it will overcome the poison, and will leave forever...", Will continued. "What bond? What are you talking about?", Cornelia asked. She looked so innocent with her sky blue eyes shining. "Why don't we leave all the explaining to Caleb...", HayLin said, while she and Irma made a huge grin on their faces. Caleb looked like a tomato by now. I guess now would be the perfect opportunity to tell her how I feel. It will save her, and we will both be happy...but I don't know how to tell her., he thought looking down.
Caleb looked up and was going to say something, but he truly couldn't. All he could to was stare in worship at Cornelia. Cornelia tilted her head in confusion, which made her look so innocent. The light that was coming from the small window made it seem as if she was a fallen angel. "Hehe, yeah, we should leave these two together. Come on, Gramma!", HayLin said as all the girls and Mrs. Lin walked up the stairs. Irma whispered into Caleb's ear, "Don't be nervous, you want to save her right?". "Of course I do", he whispered back. "Well, then I suggest that you take your time to tell her...but not too much. Besides, she's crazy about you", she added. Caleb turned pink. "Trust me, what do you think she talks about in sleep overs", she giggled and finally left upstairs.
"Cornelia, let me explain to you. Come on, let's go outside...", he said grabbing her hand and helping her up the stairs. When they got up, they looked at each other...just staring into each other's eyes. "Oh, Cornelia, I promise that we'll save you...", he whispered as he took her into a deep embrace. Cornelia hugged him back, "I'm sure that you will, Caleb...", she whispered as she rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes with a sweet smile...the same for Caleb, the same smile was shared (oh, and just so you know, Cornelia was on the higher step, so Caleb and Cornelia were the same height).
