Once again I am sorry for the late update, im truly trying anyways im not going to bore you with the author comments and just let you read on :huggles: I need my reviews!

" You guardians will not get away with this!" Phobos started to summon all his power creating a massive burst of energy. He will have Cornelia by his side no matter what!

" Guardians evasive action code number 624!"

Silence… even Phobos had stopped to question her words.

" Uh.. I mean, grab and run grab and run!" The guardians sprung into action at Will's words, Will and Hay lin had flew across the chamber to where Cornelia and Caleb layed and picked them up for their escape.

" How about I make him into a hot tamale?" Taranee giggled then just shook her head and whispered. " this guy can whip us real good."

" Oh no… alright let's just try surrounding him then make a fly for it."

" Alright!" " Water!" " Fire!" Phobos inched back while blasting away at certain spaces between the vortex of fire and water, creating a gap so he could escape. " Lets jet!"

The girls had made it out of the castle with a flew blasting on their way killing random guards, Cornelia was still unconscious but the girls had layed her down gently upon entering the close village once again. The villagers were pleased to see everyone safe, but worried that the blonde guardian had not yet awaken.

" What happened Caleb…" Will's voice quivering with worry at her friend's condition. " How long has she been like this?"

" It's a long story.." He bent down and pulled a stray strand of her hair away from her face and kissed her forehead softly. He rose to greet the guardians to inform them of the events. As he told the story Hay Lin at certain parts turned away and buried her face in Will's shoulder seeking comfort. All the guardians were horrified and angry, but most of all worried that their friend wasn't going to awake again.

Cornelia had been asleep the entire time they took refuge at the village, after about a day at camping out there and feeling that they would endanger the villagers if they kept procrastinating at returning to their home, they packed up and started to leave.

" Caleb.. Are you going to leave again?" the old lady from before asked.

" I have too my job right now is to watch over…. The guardians" the girls looked at him smugly and he blushed " without them we stand no chance at defeating Phobos and reclaiming what was once rightfully ours."

The old lady nodded her head solemnly but with understanding, she turned to the girls and smiled sweetly. " You take care of him girls, and I do wish the best for you and your blonde haired friend." she bowed and left the girls silent.

" We should uh.. Get going." Will finally said out loud. The girls nodded and then got into formation. Hay linstarted to pick Cornelia's body up with her power over the wind but Caleb stepped in, nodded his head to Hay lin and cupped Cornelia's body with his hands as Hay lin gently let her down.

The girls walked on ahead as Caleb watched Cornelia's unconscious form sternly, looking for any signs of her awakening, he knew she had been completely drained from their last encounter but he couldn't help but worry if it had drained her so much to actually do to her the most thing he feared… death.

He shut his eyes to block away all the bad thoughts, he started to increase his speed and soon he had gone through the portal. Upon entering earth he couldn't help but subconsciously take in the fresh air that was so different in comparison to Meridian, sure their was pollution here, but in Meridian the pollution came form demons and deaths.

Entering Hay lin's grandmother's shop, he placed Cornelia down on a close mattress and left the old guardian to examine her, Caleb walked to the back of the room with Will flowing him closely behind. He sat down at a stool and after a minute had gone by questioned Will's motives.

" ugh… What do you want?" he didn't bother looking up.

" Eep!" she squeaked and crashed into a few pots and dishes after being exposed from her VERY good hiding spot which was behind a little broom stick. " I uh-well-uh you see… hmm.. Good question hehehehe um…." she looked at him compassionately and bent down in front of him. " It wasn't your fault…"

He exploded right in front of her, letting out all his pent up anger and remorse for what had happen to Cornelia, and all his guilt out at Will. He slapped her hand away and started to yell. " What do you mean it wasn't my fault! I should've been there! I knew she was hurt! I shouldn't have went to look for Cedric!" He shook his head and pushed passed Will who was so stunned that she couldn't move or utter any word of defense or compensation.

" It's all my fault she's like this… I didn't even tell her…I didn't even… Argh!". Caleb stormed out of the back room and out through the front door leaving the guardians to watch him in shock and then to stare at Will as she had an emotionally driven face, full of frustration, anger, and worst of all concern.

Caleb wandered the streets for what seemed like days on end, he found a secluded spot, the very same spot where Cornelia had slapped him and fell into his arms. He subconsciously brought his hand up to his cheek and gently rubbed it, he caught himself in the act and started to sigh.

" I never got to answer your question Cornelia… You mean more to me that just a friend."

" Do you usually talk to yourself?"

Caleb whipped around with utter shock and happy surprise as he came face to face with a smirking Cornelia.

" Cornelia! Your okay!" He wanted to just grab her right then and there. " You were unconscious for such a long time I didn't think you were going to- why did you- Dammit!" He jumped on her half way and embraced her with tears threatning to fall.

" Caleb..." her voice was that of a mere shadow

Cornelia had placed her hands gently on Caleb's shoulders entangling them together to embrace him tighter. He embraced her harder and closer, not wanting to let her go, he wanted to smell her hair and feel her warm skin.

But that didn't happen. When he moved in to smell her hair, there was no smell, when he tried to feel her warmth contact with his own, there was no warmth, when he pulled away to look at the beauty in his arms, there was no beauty.

She had just disappeared, as though she evaporated, Cornelia was not there in his arms anymore, nor was she ever, he felt water starting to run down his cheek but was confused as to whether it was the rain that had started to pour or the tears that he cried for Cornelia.
