Another War Begins
Chapter 3-An Unexpected Surprise-Part 2
Hay Lins POV
"Doing anything today?" Will asked her Hay Lin during lunch.
"Uh-uh", said Hay Lin, shaking her head. 'You?"
"Yea, fighting with my mom", said Will kiddingly.
"Yea, you guys have been fighting a lot lately", Hay Lin pointed out.
"Don't remind me", Will muttered bitterly. "Where's Irma and Taranee?"
"Lunch line", said Hay Lin, pointing them out.
"They'd actually risk food poisoning?" asked Will. "Brave girls" Hay Lin laughed. It was the normal, dumb conversation anyone would have been having. Nice to be normal, Hay Lin thought happily. And it was to. Even if she would miss the flying. And having power over air. And…all right, so maybe normal wasn't all that great. No powers, no flying…but she'd never be late for supper again.
"Hey guys", Hay Lin pulled out of her thoughts as Irma and Taranee sat down, the Goo of the Day was on their trays.
"Are you really gonna eat that?" Will asked uncertainly.
"I don't know", said Irma. "On one hand, I'm hungry. On the other hand, I'd like to live to see another day" Will and Hay Lin laughed. Taranee looked like she might be sick.
"Hey, you guys wanna come over my house today after school?" Will asked when she finally calmed down.
"Sure", said Hay Lin.
"Why not?" said Irma, shrugging. Taranee just nodded, and went back to eating the goo. Well, she was trying to anyway.
Wonder what's wrong with her? Hay Lin thought. She caught Taranee shake her head, saying that nothing was wrong, but Hay Lin knew better. Maybe she could find out later.
It was later that day. The girls were Wills room, talking about all kinds of things. They didn't stay on topic for long.
"Not being a guardian anymore really kiils conversation topics, doesn't it?" Taranee asked as they hit a conversation dead end.
"We're still guardians", said Will. "We're just, not needed anymore"
"Yea right", said Irma.
"Hey!"
Corenelia burst into the room, sending everyone off big time.
"Cornelia!' cried Will. "Ever heard of knocking?"
"I rang the doorbell", she said.
"The bell is broken", said Will.
"Of course, you'd know that if you ever talked to us anymore", said Irma said stiffly. She did not sound happy.
"Don't start", snapped Cornelia.
"What do you want Cornelia?" said Irma. "it's been weeks since the last time you looked at one of us. So get right to the point. Why are you here?"
"I can see you haven't changed", Cornelia shot back. "I just wanted to tell you, Elyon's back"
"What!" that caught everyones attention, and Irma said, "You're crazy! Why would Elyon come back here?"
"How should I know?" asked Cornelia. "I know what I saw, though. It was Elyon"
"You're loosing it", said Irma.
(whats the bigger surprise? The fact the Cornelia saw Elyon, or the fact Cornelia talked to the guardians? I don't know to be honest)
