Chapter 21

Will slowly opened her brown eyes and she heard Caleb tell everyone to hush. She groaned grabbing her head. Looking round she saw the guardians and Caleb all standing round her bed.

"Where's Liam?" Her voice was horse and Irma picked him up and walked over to Will who took him in her arms, she smiled as he looked up at her but then looked up.

"I meant the older one." Hay Lin looked around and noticed he wasn't around and looked at the others as to ask if they had seen him. No one had and shrugged.

"Guess he had to go." Was the only answer anyone had. Will nodded and looked at her small son thinking about how he had turned out how, he was blind but seemed like nothing was wrong with him and what he did. She traced his face with her finger wondering what had caused the loss of his sight. Cornelia looked at the pair and was worried she was scared that Will would be the one to hold the grudge or at least Caleb who was now sitting next to Will most protectively.

Will looked up at the blond and passed her son to his father and made a motion for the bond to come over. The blond made her way over and stood nearer the bed but Will had none of that and pulled her hand so she sat on the bed and flung her arms round her.

"I thought we were going to lose you!" She whispered though the small sobs that escaped Will's throat. Cornelia felt her own eyes tear up and hugged her back, the others backed off slightly letting them hug and get over the fact Cornelia tried to kill them all. Caleb relaxed visible at the pair and carried his son over to the window.

"I'm so sorry the seer was showing me things and my anger towards you grew."

"We know it was needed for the heart of wrath to work." Taranee told her and soon the other three were on the bed hugging and laughing together. It wasn't fully relaxed but it was the first step in becoming best friends again.

Aldarn knocked on the door and looked round with Elyon both wondered how everyone was. The princess rushed over to the group and sat by them and talked and was happy to have Cornelia, her best friend back.

The green skinned man walked over to his best friend and stood next to him. Neither male looked at each other but Caleb was first to speak.

"Is the seer safely contained?"

"Yes but she is making a racket about vaults and opening." He rubbed his pointed ears as he said this. Caleb looked at him and then at the girls.

"Just make sure she never gets out." Aldarn nodded and walked out the girls watched him leave and looked at Caleb.

"He came to tell me the seer is locked away." And that was that, he walked over to the group and handed Liam to his mother and kissed said mother on the lips and Cornelia looked away with a sad smile. Irma and Elyon squeezed her shoulders gently and the earth guardian smiled at them remembering she had friends to use for support.

Underground deeper then the Infinite city there was a cave with a stone door protecting the world of its evil behind the door. The heart soared though the air towards it and went underground to reach it. Breaking the door it flew to the keyhole and slowly turned the lock on the vault that was hidden and the door opened a crack.

Shadows crept though the gap trying to open the rest of the door. A laugh was heard deep within it.

"I'm coming back and no one can stop me!"

Three years later.

Cornelia looked around the group of people in the room and smiled, this is how she saw it before. Will was holding a wiggling Liam over her pregnant stomach, Caleb was trying to help his wife control their son but he was having none of it and wanted his 'Auntie Corny'. Hay Lin was smiling her daughter was being looked after by her partner neither were ready for marriage and so they were happy with Lark and that was it.

Taranee and Irma kept saying they weren't having kids till they were married and happy with their lives, so they weren't planning on adding to the small group of kids yet. Cornelia had been looking at them all and not noticed the nurse come in with a small bundle of pink cloth.

"Well here she is, healthy as anything…" She looked at the new mother who was looking past them all saw she saw her own self watching. Looking up she smiled and took her daughter and smiled happy. Sure she wasn't Caleb's but she was hers and she was happy.

"So what are you going to call her?" Irma asked looking down at the small peachy face that they could see. Some black hair was sticking up on top of her head and Cornelia patted it down slightly.

"I was thinking Ebony." Liam started to clap and laugh chanting her name.

"That settles it, Ebony it must be." She smiled at the small boy and held her child close.

In the future a black haired girl was looking though a photo album and smiling at the pictures she was looking at. A woman or late teenager with short black hair and white streaks walked in and smiled leaning against the door frame she spoke to her.

"Come on Ebony the shadows have attack."

"Ok Lark I'm coming." She stood up and walked out leaving it opened to a page entitled Hope.

I know really short but I left it open for a sequel that I am in the middle of writing. Review this and tell me if I should write one.
