Chapter 20
The palace was quiet everyone was waiting with baited breath as the sounds of fighting were heard outside. Even in the kitchens the guardians were scared for both fighters out there and they became pacing hoping to see the trio walk though together, Caleb had handed Liam over to Hay Lin who was rocking him gently and watching his now sleeping face.
"What if Cornelia kills Will! What if Will kills her before the heart is taken away!" He was scared even if he told people nothing scared him. The others knew he was scared and watched him pace trying not to talk in fear of tears that threatened to spill.
The seer walked though the corridors past the villagers all of whom were huddled weakly and she glared at them thinking how weak. She could here the fight and smirked soon it would be time for all her planning to come forth and darkness to rein over both worlds. She knew the child would be under lock and key with the guardians but that meant nothing she would get what she wanted and no one would stop her.
Seeing the door to the kitchens she opened it to be greeted with the sight of flames from the guardian Taranee she shielded her face from the heat and jumped though her robes where on fire but she didn't notice nor care she wanted the child dead before the plan was ruined. The other guardians were freaked out she was on fire but didn't care and she threw herself at Hay Lin who flew above her head with Liam who was now in tears, Caleb and the rebels tried to get close but the flames from her stopped them getting closer to her.
"Water!" Irma shot water at her to put out the flames and let the rebels move round her to put her under control. But she leapt into the air above their heads right over the circle and made a dash towards the air guardian but was stopped by a ring of fire.
"Just give it up we won't let you hurt him." Taranee continued to feed into the flames keeping her within it, she glared but pulled out a dagger and threw it and it slashed Hay Lin's face almost making her drop the child but she held on the cut was deep and she was bleeding onto her arms and his face. Aldarn and Caleb both glared and nodded to Taranee who lowered the flames to let them jump into the ring. The seer swore seeing she had missed but she had other problems and with out the fog bowl she could not see their plan and she was valuable as a normal person right now.
The best friends raised their swords and held them out towards her and were about to tell her it was over but she spun letting her robes wrap round the sharp blades and pulling them out of their hands right though the flames leaving them without weapons.
"You will surrender." Caleb glared at her with his best friend nodding and walking round to her other side. She looked at them and kicked out hitting Caleb right in the chest knocking him over. She then grabbed Aldarn's fist and throwing him on top of Caleb.
"I don't think so." She told them smirking, they both got up and went back into the fight.
The fight outside was a rough one, Liam was letting his board guild him though the vines trying not to get hit. Will wasn't as lucky and got hit a few times but she was able to hit Cornelia with energy waves knocking her to the ground but she was about to hit the ground vines caught her. And it would start again, Liam wasn't fighting he was listening to her heart beat and it was getting stronger and he called over to his mother.
"The heart is almost ready you have to act now!" He yelled over but was hit by a vine and fell off his board onto the ground. Will didn't know if he was ok, if she should go to him but he told her it was almost time; the heart was so strong it will kill her if she doesn't get it away. Flying up towards the earth guardian she sent out waves to clear her path. Cornelia's pale blue eyes widened as she felt Will's fist connect to the side of her face she fell to the ground.
Will let the heart float above her head with her hands outstretched it let out a glow so strong that Cornelia screamed in pain feeling the power being stripped from her. Will was wavering her energy was being drained from her to get the heart away from Cornelia. She could hear her screams but she knew she couldn't stop now, she had a job to do and she wouldn't loss her like she had her father.
Pushing her last piece of energy into the heart it glowed even brighter and Cornelia let out one final scream and a red light left her body and flew past Will across the land and out of site. The vines moved back and went back into the earth not to be seen again for a few more years. Cornelia was laying there tears running down her face as Will transformed back and fell to the ground with a thump.
"How could you!" Cornelia made a beeline for her past out form but Liam heard her feet and grabbed her wrist. She looked round and right into his cloudy unfocused green eyes. She felt herself being shown something; she was standing in a hospital room looking at herself but a few years older. That version of her was surrounded by her friends with Will holding Liam in her arms with a bump for a stomach she seemed to be pregnant. The other girls were all smiling s a nurse came in with a bundle of pink cloth and handed it over to her and she smiled down at it.
Coming out of it she looked at the blind young man she was surprised at what she had seen and started to cry. That was her child she felt it in her heart but how could she have one when her love had chosen another. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see the man who looked so much like Caleb it was scary.
"I know your daughter don't let this rage let you stop from having her." He spoke and she continued to cry into her hands her rage was there but it wasn't being fed so it was dieing and subsiding to a new emotion hope. She wanted to have that happen to her; she wanted to hold that little girl in her arms.
Liam started to feel against the ground for his board but wasn't having much luck and in the end pulled out a button and pressed it the silence was filled with the dull beeping coming from the board. He made his way over to the board and picked it but, he could hear the sniffing of Cornelia and the steady heart beat of his mother who he was walking to now. He reached down and picked her up, standing on the hovering board he called over to the blond to get on.
Cornelia looked up and walked over to him, standing behind him on the board she wrapped her arms round his waist tightly as they took off into the air. Screaming Cornelia shut her eyes against the harsh wind, this board was moving so fast it was unreal for her. Liam was smiling he had been witness to one of the hardest fights for his mother but then frowned as it was not over yet.
Landing in the courtyard the group of three were greeted by the other guardians all out of form and some of the other people. Caleb seeing Will unconscious in his older son's arms he rushed over and almost snatched her out of them. Cornelia lowered her eyes until she felt arms wrapping themselves round her, looking up she saw it was Irma and Taranee. Hay Lin was still holding the baby and her face was covered in a bandage it was now red in colour due to it still being an open wound.
Pulling away the blond looked at the group and felt tears sting at her eyes. She was happy they had taken her back but she had to wait to find out if the entire group will take her back. Caleb was carrying Will though the palace towards the room were she had been staying for the last few days weeks right now he didn't really remember and he placed her on the bed to let her rest.
The rest were now sitting listening to Cornelia's tale.
"I remember bits of it but most is a blur of rage and hatred I am so sorry for what I did to you all." She started to cry a little but none of them held a grudge against her Liam was looking like the cat that got the cream sitting on his still hovering board.
"What is that board?" Hay Lin asked him. He looked in her direction and told her.
"This was made for me by a…close friend called Lark, it guilds me so I don't get into to many scrapes." He told them with a small smile.
"Lark, that's a nice name." Hay Lin commented.
"You should like it but now isn't the time." He told them with a wave of his hand.
"He's right we should check on Will see how she is doing." Taranee told the others and they all walked in leaving the man behind. Feeling his gold band on his finger he smiled and let them go.
"I should be going but I will see them all again one day." He opened a portal to Kanderkar and went though to get him home.
Caleb looked up and smiled softly at the group pointing to the still sleeping Will, the others sat and stood around waiting for her to wake up.
