Thanks for the cookie it was great! And here is the unlucky chapter!
Chapter 13
The day was calm not what you really wanted from the weather for this kind of day; Will had wanted the day to be storming to reflect just how she felt but instead it was slightly humid. Walking out of her room Will checked she looked alright her short black dress suited her and her hair was pulled back showing her sorrow filled face, Liam was in Will's arms he could fill the sorrow in the air and was quiet so with her son Will made her way to her mother's room to get her for the funeral.
Suzanne was staring out the window looking over this other world and thinking of how her daughter could fight for so long for this world and how she could just dismiss the fact she came home with bruises and cuts all the time.
"I really I'm a bad mother." She spoke out loud and looked at her long navy blue skirt with matching top; Jonathan hated black so she would honour him by not wearing it. She played with a strand of black hair and watched the guards move this around ready for the service. A dark wood coffin was pulled on a cart she took a note of it and the horses had black ribbon decorating their manes and tails.
Walking to the large bed the older woman sat down till a knock on the door shook her out of her thoughts. In walked her daughter and grandson but she didn't smile not today she just let Will mourn since in the last year they had grown close.
"You ready for today mom?"
"No not really but we have to go don't we?" She looked at her seventeen year old who was watching her son who she noted looked nothing like her well maybe he had her nose. Will had only told her that he wasn't Matt's so she didn't know for sure but he looked a lot like that friend of Will's Caleb.
Outside in the yard a small group had gathered, all the guardians had shown up Cornelia was glaring slightly at Caleb who wouldn't meet her glare. Elyon was waiting for the last members of their group. Suzanne walked out holding Liam who was staring at her trying to grab her hair; Will was last and took her place next to Hay Lin who wrapped her arm round her. The group made their way to the funeral grounds, which was a few hills covering in markers showing where the dead were buried.
The actually ceremony was very much like one on earth most likely because Elyon had told the guy who was talking what to say but it was nice as funerals go, the guardians were quiet and had they head bowed and all that could be heard was the gurgling of Liam in Will's arms. She had asked to hold him during the ceremony. She had tears in her eyes during most of it but she tried to hold it together at least till she could be alone. She looked at her friends all of whom were now watching the casket being lowered to the floor, most had looks that had sadness but she knew that others things were going on behind this scene so she thought it was a mixture of all those things.
After the funeral Will handed Liam to the blond princess who cuddled him and headed back to the palace with the others only Suzanne and Will were left by the grave, both didn't say anything but soon Will walked away not wanting to look at what was left of her father. She walked to the top of the tallest hill which she could over look the entire town below herself.
"This is amazing Will, you have done so much good and have grown and I couldn't see it when you were younger. I am sorry for not seeing it before and I wished you had told me about this place it looks so peaceful."
"It wasn't when we first came here but Elyon has done wonders on it." A nasty wind picked up and Will hugged herself and finally turned to her mother and whispered.
"I'm ready to go home now." Suzanne was happy to hear her say that but she thought she wanted to go home for the wrong reasons but right now she was happy to take her home.
"Alright let's go home." Together they made their way back though the town Suzanne was staring at the odd looking people who smiled at the weakly smiling leader of the guardians of the veil.
Walking into the palace they were met by Elyon and Caleb both were sitting together talking to each other quietly. They looked up at the pair of females who had walked inside the main doors both silent. When they pasted the pair the smaller girl spoke.
"Liam is in your room asleep."
"Thanks Elyon but I will be leaving to go back to earth thank you for letting me stay." Will smiled sadly, she would miss staying with her but she wanted to be alone with her thoughts. Caleb watches Will's back as she walked away; she didn't want to be near him and just when things were starting to fall into place. Will started to pack her things away in her bag and Liam was holding the swirl ball with Suzanne looking at him.
"This father is that boy Caleb isn't it?" She asked at last since she only said it was a friend's boyfriend. All she did was nod slowly and folded her white top with a pink butterfly on the front. Her mother knew not to push she was scared she would push her away and she had only gotten her back. Sighing she picked up her grandson and watched as her daughter zipped up her bag and walked towards the door with her mother and son following her.
When they walked though the portal into the Vandom's apartment Will smiled and collapsed on the sofa she was glad to be home no matter how many memories that were held here. Will closed her eyes and waved her hand to close the portal which made Suzanne jump. She sat on the other sofa looking at her daughter and sighed knowing she wasn't going to open up to her so she placed Liam down on the rug to play with the odd ball she went to make some food for herself and Will.
Will had been on earth almost a week and she was missing meridian and its people mostly Elyon and their girly morning talks. She missed the guards who would greet her as she passed heck she even missed Caleb and his following her around talking about anything he could think of and playing with Liam. She was alone in the apartment her mother had taken Liam out to the mall to get him lord only knows. The weather was bad today the storm was heavy the rain drops hit heavily against the window. She threw the book across she was trying to read across the room and stood up and started to pace she was bored and needed some air so she grabbed a light jacket and walked out right into the rain.
Jumping between the shelters hoping not to get to wet she passed the sliver dragon but chose not to stop by, all the girls knew she was back but she hadn't tried to hang out their weren't ready to be close friends or even friends yet. She dropped her eyes from the sign and walked away the rain hit her and she closed her eyes enjoying the feel of the coldness of the rain against her skin.
"Will is that you?" A familiar voice asked from behind her. Turning round she saw a face of someone she hadn't seen in a year, a face she was in love with for so long.
"Matt…"
