Chapter 8-Just Another Dream
Wills' POV
It was happening again. She was walking through Candracar. Everything was black and burned.
"Oh no", she whispered as she walked. "No no no no…"
"Yes Guardian of the Veil", hissed a voice behind her. She turned around to find Cedric standing there.
"You!" she cried. "We locked you away for good, I know we did!"
Cedric laughed. "You can't always believe your eyes guardian", he jeered. "Phobos will rule all, and you will be the first to go"
Will stepped backwards, trying to decide whether or not to run. She wasn't even sure of how far away she would get before Cedric caught her. Odds were not likely to be very far.
"Don't even think of running Guardian", hissed Cedric. "For there is no where for you to go"
He moved forward, preparing to attack, and Will froze on the spot. She couldn't even bring herself to summon the Heart. And then…
She felt something scurry across her face, and bolted up, looking for the source. She was back in her room, and out of that horrible dream. Of course, she had no clue what had woken her up.
"Aha!" she cried, jumping out of bed, and grabbing her dormouse, which was attempting to crawl under her bed
"Go under there, and you'll get lost", she informed him. "You must be what woke me up"
The little dormouse growled at her, and she finally put it back on her bed, remembering the day she had gotten the furry little creature.
Uriah and his merry gang of thugs had been attempting to capture it, hoping they could stick it in geeky Martin Tubs locker. Will knew that a dormouse caught anywhere was an unhappy dormouse, and she stopped Uriah from capturing the little thing. She got a little help from Matt Olsen, who gave her a few tips on taking care of it. He also gave her his phone number, incase she had any questions. Dormouse questions of course. Nothing like the questions Will would…
Okay, snap out of it Will, she thought with a smile. You're still tryin to save the world from evil; there'll be time to daydream about Matt later.
She shook her head with a smile, putting the dream in the back of her head.

They were at school later that day. Will was listening to her math teacher go on and on (and on and on and on) about X equaling Y if divided by pie (A/N don't know if I spelled that right, don't care either, I hate math) and slipping in and out of sleep, not really wanting to risk detention. But she really didn't get anything the teacher was saying…
She shook her head to try and clear to the fog that was surrounding her brain, and looked around at Cornelia, who was busy scribbling down notes.
I don't know how she does it, Will thought, still barely staying awake. This teacher could put anyone to sleep! Of course, we'd still have Mrs. Rudolph if it wasn't for Irma and Hay Lin…
She smiled at that memory. Irma had suspected Mrs. Rudolph of being a monster from Meridian, so she talked Hay Lin into skipping school and searching Mrs. Rudolphs house for evidence…well, that's another story (A/N-I'm sure most of you have read Finding Meridian, and if you haven't, then ask someone who has!)
She looked at the blackboard, not taking in anything it said, and her mind drifted to a tad then less happy memory.
What had Cedric meant? "You can't always believe your eyes guardian". What was that supposed to mean? It didn't make any sense…
"Will Vandom!"
Uh oh. Will looked around, and saw the teacher standing right over her, glaring down on her.
Oh boy, Will thought. She hadn't paid any attention to what the teacher had been saying, and now she was paying for it. To her great relief though, the bell rang, and she made for the door before the teacher could say anything.
"Smooth move Will", said Cornelia, snickering as she caught up to her Will.
"Okay, so I wasn't paying attention", said Will snippishly. "You didn't have anything to do with that bell, now did you?"
"Do you not trust me?" she said innocently.
"No", said Will simply.
"All right then", said Cornelia. "I had absolutely, positively nothing to do with that bell ringing. Pure luck on your part"
Will hesitated for a minute, but let it go. She knew Cornelia wouldn't keep the same charade up for so long.
"So?" she asked Cornelia as the girls made for their lockers.
"So what?" Cornelia asked.
"Please Cornelia!" said Will, turning to face the former guardian. "You haven't talked to us since our last trip to Meridian, and now all of a sudden you're buddy buddy with me again! Who do you think you're fooling?"
"What, did you and Irma switch places?" Cornelia asked, her face turning red. "I'm trying to make peace with you, and you're mouthing off and giving me attitude! Excuse me for living, I forgot, you quit the guardians, you can't talk to the upper people of the guardian society, well excuse me!"
She turned around and stormed away from Will, leaving her to feel very bad about what she had said.
