Matt trembled slightly and opened his eyes slowly. He was blinded by the light that seemed like forever that he had seen. He tried to move his arms and legs, but he couldn't. His vision was back and he saw that his arms and legs were tied to a chair. He was in a tiny room with a hanging light above him and metal everywhere. There was a door behind him with a little window. Matt breathed hard, panicing slightly.

His panic highered as he heard the metal door squeak as it opened. "Well well, I see our little Matt has woken up", the same female and icy voice said from behind. Matt shut his eyes and looked down, "Who are you?". He opened his eyes and saw a woman with thick navy hair, icy blue eyes, a wicked smile, and a purple dress with a metal staff. "You look...familiar", Matt said squinting his eyes. "Of course I do! You faced my sister not too long ago and trapped her in a crystal ball which I am unable to get her out of!", she screamed. "Melissa?", Matt asked suprised. "Yes, dear boy. My name is Cupid",Cupid said proudly.

"What do you want from me?", Matt asked silently with a hint of fear. "I need you to help me free my sister", she said with a wicked grin. "Why me? I'm not special with any powers!", Matt yelled quickly. "Of course you're special, Matt. Your girlfriend holds the Heart of Candracar", Cupid said. "What do you want from Will?", he asked with seriousness in his voice. "I need you to become my apprentice and help me obtain the Heart of Candracar in order to free my sister. You obtain the Heart fromWilland thenhand it to me", Cupid laughed evily. "Never!", Matt screamed.

Cupid made a sort of mirror with her staff. It showed an image of Will sitting down alone in the beach chairs calling someone on her cellphone. She looked completely worried. Matt heard a little jingle. He turned to his left and saw his cellphone ringing. He looked back at Cupid.

Cupid grinned evily and extended her glowing purple hand. Matt's eyes went wide. He didn't know what she was going to do, but he knew it was bad. She closed her hand into a fist. Will groaned in the mirror and dropped her cellphone. She grabbed on to her neck, trying to break free from someone not seen choking her...Cupid. "NO STOP!", tears fell down his cheeks. Cupid's eyes raised with no suprise. "...please...", Matt looked down, more tears racing down. Cupid let go of her fist and Will fell unconcious on the beach chair. Her friends ran towards her and huddled around her in worry.

"So, Matt...what is your choice?", Cupid asked as she made the mirror disappear. "...Promise you won't hurt Will...", Matt said softly, still looking down. "I won't hurt a single red hair on her head", Cupid said with her usual icy tone. Cupid broke the chains that held Matt tied. "Stand, my apprentice", Cupid ordered as she floated in the air. Matt slowly stood up. Cupid laughed evily and was filled with power inside, but Matt was filled with tears.

Back at the Aqua Hotel...

"Look! I think Will is waking up!", Nigel told everyone. All the group was in the girl's room with Will on her bed. Will's eyes slowly opened, "Ow, my head". Everyone went to see her. "Oh my gosh, Will. Are you ok?", Hay Lin asked. "I'm...fine. Where's Matt?", she asked. Everyone looked down. "Don't tell me-", Will sat up. "Eric, Gabrieland I searched everywhere-", Caleb started, "-he isn't anywhere", Gabriel finished. "We're sorry, Will", Eric said softly.

Will brought her knees up to her body and softly cried into her arms, "It's all my fault. I never should have turned my back". "It's not your fault, Will", Taranee put a hand onWill's back. "Yeah, Will. You had nothing to do with this. Who knows, he might be in the lobby or something", Irma smiled slightly. "Yeah, mabye he's...getting something to eat. I'm pretty sure we didn't check all the lobby", Gabriel smiled also. "Look, why don't we go to the lobby, Will. Mabye he'll be there, ok?", Cornelia grabbed her hand and lead her out the door.

"There's no use, Cornelia", Will sniffled. "Yes there is, trust me", Cornelia said as she and Will got into the elevator. The doors soon opened to the lobby and revealed Matt. "Matt!", Will exclaimed and hugged him. "Hey Will", Matt hugged her back. "Where were you, you had us worried", Cornelia asked. "Well, a waitress asked me to do her a favor and quickly dragged me out of there", Matt said quietly. "But the good thing is that you're ok", Will smiled. "How come you were crying?", Matt asked, looking at her red face. "Let's just say, Will loves you so much that she can miss you if you're gone for 20 minutes", Cornelia grinned.

They all laughed. "Come on, let's go back to the room", Matt smiled. They went back into the elevator. The elevator had mirrors on the walls. Cornelia and Will were laughing at their own reflection, but Matt looked at the other mirror and saw Cupid's face. "Remember your mission, my apprentice", she said. Matt turned to Will, who was smiling wide and having fun at her own reflection with Cornelia. Matt closed his eyes in sadness, but nodded. He opened his eyes and saw his own reflection again. "Are you ok, Matt?", Will asked, putting a friendly hand on his shoulder. "Yeah, I'm ok", Matt replied. But he was definetly not ok.

The elevator doors opened and the trio walked out. "Hey, Matt's back!", Irma exclaimed to everyone. They were outside the room. "Sorry for the scare guys", Matt smiled. "You better not run off like that again!", Hay Lin said. "Sorry", Matt said again. "It's ok, hey you guys wanna get ice cream? There was this awsome place in the stores level in the hotel", Gabriel suggested. "Yeah!", they all said in unison and ran to the elevator except Cornelia. Caleb stopped and walked to her. "Are you coming Cornelia?", Caleb asked. She just kept staring at Matt with a suspicious face. "Cornelia?", Caleb asked.

"Caleb, I have a very weird sense right now", Cornelia started, not detaching her eyes from Matt. "What do you feel?", Caleb asked with worry andcarein his eyes. "I don't sense Matt being...himself. He looks worried and...sad. He's not usually like that by what Will tells us", Cornelia responded. The elevator doors closed. Cornelia looked into Caleb's emerald green eyes. "Where did he tell you he went?", Caleb asked. "He said a waitress told him to do him a favor and she dragged him to do the favor", Cornelia responded. "Wait...there was no waitress", Caleb's eyebrows shot up. "That's what I thought", Cornelia went to click on the down button.

"I wonder why he didn't want to say the real reason", Caleb went next to her. "I know, especially to Will", Cornelia added. "Tonight, we're going to ask him what's up", Caleb said. Cornelia nodded. The elevator doors opened. The two went in and pressed the button. The elevator went down. They shared glances and smiled. "Can I ask you a personal question, Caleb?", Cornelia asked, still with a smile. "Of course", Caleb responded. "Did you love anyone besides me in the past?", she asked. Caleb thought for a moment. "Well, there was this one girl I met when I was 12 years old. I think her name was Jasmin. But I onlyliked her, not loved her", Caleb responded. "Oh, ok", Cornelia smiled wide.

"You?", Caleb asked. "Well, I have had a couple of boyfriends...but after the year that we met, I've rejected anyone who's asked me to go out with them", Cornelia said. Caleb smiled sweetly, "Dang, a year of rejecting guys you knew liked you. Was it obvious that I liked you?". "Well, it was obvious to the girls, but I'm not very good at those things", Cornelia giggled. "Oh thank god", Caleb sighed. "Well, only a few weeks after you kissed my cheek when we found the Seal of Phobos. That's when I took the hint", Cornelia grinned. "Well, at least it helped me get to where we are now, huh?", Caleb smiled. Cornelia smiled and leaned in. Caleb closed his eyes, but heard the Ding! from the elevator. They quickly parted and walked out.

"Hi guys! What happened?", Will asked. Cornelia and Caleb looked at each other. "Nothing, I just forgot something in the room", Cornelia said. "Oh, ok. What flavors do you guys want?", Will asked. "Chocolate", Caleb said. "Strawberry", Cornelia said. "Ok, come on, we got this gigantic table", Will smiled and walked back into the ice cream parlor. Cornelia and Caleb went in and sat together at the table with everyone else.

"So, Gabriel, you met Caleb a few weeks ago cause of the rebels?", Irma asked. "No, actually, we knew each other longer", Gabriel smiled. "Seriously?", Taranee asked. "Yeah, we were actually childhood friends. But after I joined the rebels at age 13, I never saw him again", Caleb said. "13?", Cornelia asked in suprise. "Dang, Caleb! No wonder you're the leader", Hay Lin said in suprise as well. "Yup", Caleb leaned back on his chair cooly.

"Ok, so here are all your ice creams", Will said as she and Matt came with a huge tray of ice creams. Matt and Will passed them out and then sat down. Matt smiled at everyone and looked down at his vanilla with chocolate fudge. He saw Cupid's image. "I know...I won't betray you if she doesn't get hurt", Matt whispered. The image smiled evily and disappeared. "Huh?", Will asked. "Nothing!", Matt said quickly. Matt sighed and ate the ice cream.

"You see what I mean?", Cornelia whispered to Caleb. They saw Matt move uneasy. "Yeah, was it me, or did he say, 'I won't betray you if she doesn't get hurt'?", Caleb whispered back. "I heard it, too. Something's definetley up", Cornelia whispered. "Hey! Secrets don't make friends!", Irma said to them. They all started laughing. "Sorry", Cornelia and Caleb said in unison.

They all finished their ice cream after a few minutes. "Hey Eric, what time is it?", Hay Lin asked, looming over him trying to see his watch. "Oh my gosh, it's already 9:27. We planned to meet our parents at 9:30 in the lobby", Eric said. "Well then, let's go!", Nigel said standing up. Everyon followed. "Hey Irma, I can't go with you guys, haha!", Gabriel stopped her. "Aw man, I totally forgot", Irma slapped her forehead. "Yeah, but we'll see each other tomorrow, ok?", Gabriel said. Irma smiled and nodded. "Oh and Irma?", Gabriel said. Irma smiled and stood in front of him. He leaned in and kissed her cheek. Irma's eyes went wide and turned red. "I know it's a little quick, but I really like you, Irma. I feel like I've known you forever", Gabriel smiled. He was also a little red. "Dang, a boyfriend in just one day. I love today", Irma said with a goofy smile. Gabriel laughed and waved good-bye.

"Irma, come on!", Hay Lin dragged Irma's goofy self out of the ice cream parlor. They ran to the lobby, where their parents were barley walking into. "Hi guys, how was your day?", Taranee's mom asked. Everyone smiled wide. "I'm guessing that's a yes", Eric's mom smiled. "Ok, well, we're actually not hungry, so you guys go down to the restaurant when you guys are hungry, ok?", Irma's mom said. "Cool with us", Will said. "Ok, just be careful", Nigel's mom added as the parents went to their rooms.

Later at night...

It was late, it was 11 at night. Everyone had had dinner and went to their own rooms. The girls were all in their beds with the lights out. Will was sleeping under her hot covers (because she was cold because of outside) with the Heart of Candracar in her palm glowing..normal..protecting and warning if anything is wrong. Irma had one foot under the covers and one out, on her stomach, and smiling (any ideas what she's dreaming about? wink). Taranee had her head turned to the left and her body faced up, sleeping like a baby with her stuffed giraffe next to her. Cornelia's hair was everywhere because she was moving so much, but she finally settled down and dreamt happily. Hay Lin was different, though. Unlike Cornelia, she was still tosing and turning in her sleep. (Now I'm going to Hay Lin's dream, which will be in Italics)

"You will do this tomorrow night, Matt", a lady told Matt. He was bowing with one knee on the floor. He didn't respond. "Matt! Answer me! Remember our deal!", the lady burst. "Yes...master. Forgive me", Matt said quietly. "Good. If by any chance she gets suspicious, use this", the lady gave Matt a sort of laser gun that knocks you out. "I told you not to hurt her. I won't do use this against her, you know I love her", Matt said taking the weapon anyway. "Your love is meaningless to me", she said. Matt stood up. "I have the power to do as I wish. I can destory her entirely if I snap my fingers", she said icily. "I know...that's why I am going to give you the Heart of Candracar...", Matt whispered. Everything swirled as her laughter ran through the air. It went black completely.

Hay Lin screamed and woke up. She sat up and looked around. The moonlight shone at Cornelia and Irma's sleeping bodieswho were to the right of her (next to the window). She turned to her left and saw Will next to her sleeping peacefully next to Taranee. Something caught her eye. She gasped. The door was opened slightly. She clutched the covers tightly. "Irma", Hay Lin whispered in fear. Irma didn't budge. She gasped as sheheard a noise near the bathroom. "Irma!", Hay Lin said louder. "Huh, what?", Irma sat upwith a sleepy face.

"Irma there's someone in here", Hay Lin whispered with a lot of fear in her eyes and voice. "You probably just had a nightmare", Irma responded, rubbing her eyes. "The door was opened and no one left it open or has the key", Hay Lin said. "It must've been one of the moms to come check on us and forgot to close it completely", Irma yawned. "I heard a noise in the bathroom", Hay Lin clutched the covers even tighter. "Hay Lin. There is no such thing as boogie man", Irma got up from bed and closed the door. "I didn't say the boogie man. Irma, this is serious", Hay Lin said. Irma went and sat Indian style on Hay Lin's bed, "What's up, Hay Lin? You're usually never scared of these sort of things".

"I had a strange dream again", Hay Lin said. "Ok, you can tell me about it", Irma said and smiled. "I saw this girl..she looked so familar. Anyway, Matt was bowing at her. The lady told her, 'You will do this tonight, Matt'. He called her Mater and then she gave him a weapon that she said was for when 'she' got suspicious", Hay Lin started. "Who's 'she'?", Irma asked. "I don't know. Matt said that he won't use it against her, because he loves her", Hay Lin whispered. Irma turned to Will's sleeping figure. "You think it's Will?", Irma asked. "I...don't know. He said that he was going to give her the Heart of Candracar!", Hay Lin said in panic.

"Whoa whoa whoa! Matt would never take the Heart of Candracar from Will", Irma said. "I know, that's what I find weird. And it really didn't feel like a dream. It felt real", Hay Lin whispered. Irma put a friendly hand on her shoulder.

Little did they know, the dream was happening in a small room in that very moment.
