Me back again! Party! Before I start, one quick thing:

Scottgrubb-Your idea is just too perfectly evil not to use. I've already started writing up and thinking about plans for it, and promise to credit you for it in every chapter from now on. And did I mention thanks for the idea? Well, thanks! Now, on to the chapter!

Chapter 16-Endless Questions

Taranees' POV

"This is getting serious", Will said, "It was bad enough that Phobos is back, but now he's got Elyon on his side. That's just gonna make everything harder"

"Plus, we still don't know how to break whatever spell he's got Elyon under", Cornelia added. Taranee noticed at Cornelias' words, Will cringed slightly, and Taranee couldn't help but wonder why.

"Okay", Irma said, oblivious, "Does anyone have any good news?"
"Irma", Cornelia groaned, "This is serious. Act that way for once"
"I know it's serious", Irma said impatiently, "But what do you want me to say? We're all doomed? Cuz it sure looks that way to me"

"Okay, okay", Hay Lin said, quickly falling into her old peace keeping ways, "Lets' not fight. We just have to come up with a plan"

"Yea right", Irma said sarcastically, "What are we suppose to do? We're stuck, no matter which way we turn"

"She's right", Will said, "I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them"

"Our leader doesn't even know what to do!" Cornelia exclaimed, "We rally are done for!"

"No, we're not", Hay Lin said, "We just have to think about it"
"Think about what?" Taranee asked, "Irma's right, we're stuck. We have no ideas, Elyon is under some sort of spell that we have no clue how to break, Phobos is back, we-"

Irma put her hand over Taranees' mouth, "Calm down Taranee", she said, "We never know what we're doing, but we always land on our fight, right? Now's no different"

"Says who?" Taranee asked, pushing Irmas' hand away, "Everyone hits rock bottom at one point, maybe this is ours"

"Come one guys!" Will exclaimed suddenly, "We can't keep fighting, fighting never gets us anywhere, except someone getting mad, and that never helps! Now come on, stop arguing, and start thinking!"

There was a ringing silence following Wills' outburst. Irma and Hay Lin we're wearing identical looks of shock, and Cornelia was looking at Will like something she had never quite seen before.

"Unh", Will groaned and buried her face in her hands, "I-sorry guys, I dunno…I dunno what happened, I…"

Her voice drifted off with a shudder, and Taranee laid a sympathetic hand on her friends shoulder. Will was trembling, and Taranee had a feeling the last week was really catching up to her.

"Okay", Irma said finally, "Will's loosing it, sp any suggestions?"
"Irma!" Cornelia snapped, "For once in your life, be serious!"

"Don't fight", Will said quietly, "This isn't getting us anywhere, why don't we just take a break?"

"Yea, okay", Irma said in a defeated voice, "I guess we can do that…"
Irma, Cornelia, and Hay Lin left, but Taranee hung back.
"You okay Will?" Taranee asked, "You've been pretty quiet lately, I mean, I realize the last week has been hard on you, but I get the feeling you're hiding something"

Will sighed, "What would you say if I told you I might know something about what's going on?"

Taranee was stumped. Will knew something? Why hadn't she said something while they had been arguing about it? And just what was she hiding? "What are you talking about?" she finally asked.

"Never mind", Will said with a sigh, "Forget I said anything"
"But I-" Taranee knew it was pointless to fight with Will, but that wasn't going to stop her from trying.

"Taranee", Will said firmly, "Forget it. Never mind, I never said anything, got it?"

"Got it", Taranee gave in, "See ya later Will"

But as she left, a nagging voice was telling her not to give up, to pressure Will. She was hiding something, and she had to go back and-

She blocked out the voice. Will would tell them when she was ready. Taranee just hoped it wouldn't be too late by then.

Well, another chapter come and gone. Sorry it wasn't all that good, it'll get better, me promise. And another big thanks to ScottGrubb for his tottaly inspiring idea, bye!
