"Will! Will!", Taranee said. Will slowly opened her eyes slowly to see Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin huddled around her bed. They were still in their pj's and they looked like they just woke up because of their hair, but their faces looked more alert and worried. "What's up guys?", Will yawned. "Hay Lin had another freaky dream, and this time it really did sound real", Irma said with panic in her voice. Will shot up. "And you're not going to like this", Cornelia frowned.

The girls sat indian-style on Will's bed. Hay Lin started to tell Will all about her dream. Will held her hand over her heart...and the Heart of Candracar. "And yesterday, I was telling Caleb of how Matt was acting super weird", Cornelia told her. "We were going to tell him today, but after what Hay Lin told us, we don't have to", Cornelia finished. Will just stared in disbelief. She blinked fast. "It can't be true", Will shook her head. The girls glanced at each other with sadness. "I'm sorry, Will", Hay Lin looked down. "It was probably just a dream. Yesterday was sorta creepy anyway", Will said as she got out of bed.

"Girls?", Nigel knocked on the door. Taranee got out of the bed and opened the door slightly. "Hi Nigel", Taranee smiled. Nigel smiled widely, but then looked serious again. "Hey um, Taranee, can you come out here for a second?", Nigel whispered. Taranee looked at him funny. Taranee peeked over to the girls, "Be right back". Taranee went outside and closed the door. She and Nigel were still in their pj's. "Taranee, I didn't want to scare Will, but Matt is gone", Nigel whispered. "What? Again?", Taranee whispered loudly.

"You don't understand, look. All the guys are still asleep. I was the first one to wake up a few minutes ago. I looked next to me, which is Matt's bed. I saw this on it", Nigel took out a piece of paper. Taranee read it outloud:

Matt belongs to me

He is no longer a regular boy

He is my apprentice

By tomorrow morning,

The Heart of two will be no more

"Oh my gosh!", Taranee yelled and dropped the paper. "What?", Nigel held her wrists in panic. "Do you remember how Hay Lin's dreams are sometimes a look into the future?", Taranee whispered. "Yeah?", Nigel responded. "Well, she had a dream about this", Taranee pointed to the paper. "Matt is going to take the Heart of Candracar", Taranee whispered. "What does it mean by the heart of two?", Nigel realized and looked down. "Will", they both said in unison.

"Why is Matt doing this? He loves Will", Nigel whispered. "I'm not sure, but wherever he is, he's not doing this to hurt her. In Hay Lin's dream he kept saying, 'I'm not going to hurt her', or, 'Don't hurt her'. I think he's being forced to get the Heart of Candracar from Will", Taranee said. "We're going to save her", Nigel whispered. Taranee nodded. Taranee went back inside the room with the piece of paper.

"What happened?", Cornelia asked. "Where's Will?", Taranee asked. "She shotgunned the shower first, but what about it?", Irma said. Taranee showed them the piece of paper. They all read it. "So it is true", Hay Lin gasped. "Nigel said that he found it in Matt's empty bed", Taranee explained. "What are we going to do?", Cornelia asked. "Well, for one, we can't tell Will about this", Irma suggested. "What? This has Will's name all over it", Hay Lin said. "No, Hay Lin. Irma has a point. We can't tell Will, it would worry her more", Cornelia explained. "So, what, we're not gonna do anything about it?", Hay Lin asked in disbelief. "What can we do? We don't even know where he is, or who the girl in your dream was", Taranee said.

The girls finally agreed to not tell Will anything. At that moment, Will got out of the shower. "Hi girls", Will smiled. "Hi", they replied faintly. "Who called second?", Will asked. "I did!", Cornelia smiled. "Third!", Hay Lin yelled. "Fourth", Irma smiled. "Fifth", Taranee exclaimed. "Yay! No more party-pooper", Irma clapped. Even though all four girls seemed happy, they were bubbling with panic inside.

An hour later down at the lobby...

"Hi guys", Hay Lin smiled at the 4 boys waving. "Hey", the boys said in return with big smiles. "Where's Matt?", Will asked. The boys looked at each other and back at Will. "Um...he's...with his mom!", Eric said. "His mom?", Will asked with suspicion. "Yeah, he's gonna spend the day with her. He didn't tell us why", Nigel said. Will looked down. "And he also told us to tell you that he loves you", Caleb added. The girls winked at them.

"Aw, that's so sweet. So what do you wanna do today?", Will smiled. "I don't know. We can't go out on the town until after lunch", Eric said. "Yeah, and I really don't feel like swimming today", Irma admitted. "The Water Guardian doesn't want to swim?", Will asked in disbelief. Irma bit her lip. She really didn't want to swim. No one did. Not in the mood.

"Hey, it's ok. Don't look so sad", Will smiled. Irma smiled. "What time is it?", Caleb asked. Cornelia looked at her watch, "10:24". "2 hours...what do you wanna do?", Gabriel asked. "We could just hang out or something", Taranee suggested. "Yeah, let's go outside", Cornelia smiled. They all walked out the lobby. Everyone went to sit on the warm sand of the beach. There was actually no one outside. "How come no one is outside?", Hay Lin asked. The wind ran down their spines. "And why did it suddenly get cold?", Nigel asked. Cornelia's eyes suddenly turned to a very big tree in front of her. She squinted in order to see better.

She inspected the tree. From the hard trunk to the green leaves everywhere. Something caught her eye. It was a dark purple figure beneath the leaves. Cornelia thought fast and got up. "Cornelia? What's wrong?", Taranee asked. "Um...I'm gonna go under an umbrella", Cornelia kept glancing at the tree where the purple figure was. "Um, ok?", Irma looked confused.

Cornelia got under the shady red umbrella. She placed her hands on the sand. Caleb ran to her and knelt down. "Cornelia, I know you saw something. What did you see?". "Sh, I'm asking the big tree what is hiding in there", Cornelia said as she closed her eyes. Caleb smiled and let her finish. From out of no where, roots wrapped her arms. Caleb was worried because he had never seen anything like it, but he saw Cornelia was completely calm. (The Italics are going to be what Cornelia thinks and what she is seeing)

"Hello again, Earth. Please show me what secrets the tree hides", Cornelia said in her mind. "We shall let you have a closer look", a voice in the back of her mind said. Her vision went underground. She saw, like a snake slithering for its prey, under the sand as it went under the big tree. Then it rose quickly through the tree's branches. It stopped suddenly. Cornelia focused on what she saw. It was a person, a guy, wrapped in purple cloth from head to toe except for his eyes. He had a weird contraption by his side and a weird symbol on the chest part of the cloth and on the cloth on his palms. He was huddled on the branch, observing Cornelia's friends.

Instead of right away going out of the vision, she kept looking at him with suprise. He didn't have the look of evil in his eyes, it looked more...sad. She right away knew that it was Matt. She saw how his eyes suddenly went wide and looked directly on what was supposed to be Cornelia's vision. Matt got the weird machine and jumped out of her way.

Cornelia shot her eyes opened and looked at Caleb. She looked at the roots still around her. "Ok, thank you", she said. The roots sunk down. "What did you see?", Caleb asked. "Matt", Cornelia whispered. "He was the one in purple?", Caleb asked in disbelief. Cornelia nodded, "I thought this was gonna be a happy vacation. Now all we're talking about is Matt". "I hope he doesn't go through this", Caleb added.

Later at night...

"Too bad we couldn't go out to the town today", Hay Lin said as the gang went up the elevator. "Yeah, but our parents said tomorrow, right?", Irma asked. "Yup", Cornelia smiled. The doors opened. "Ok, well we'll see you tomorrow", Will said as the girls started to walk their own way. Hay Lin turned back to Eric. Eric had a serious face. He nodded. Hay Lin nodded and kept walking. She told him about her dream. He told her to protect her and the Heart of Candracar no matter what.

The girls opened the room and went inside. "I'm watching Boy Comet on tv whether you like it or not", Irma planted herself on the purple couch and turned on the tv. "Ok, and then let's bring pizza up!", Will suggested. "Yeah!", the girls laughed. "I'll order it", Will went to the phone and clicked on the room service. "Meanwhile, I'm taking a shower, I feel like a pig", Cornelia said as she got her pj's and went into the shower. Taranee and Hay Lin sat next to Irma. "Ok, they're bringing the pizza up in a little while", Will said. "Cool, I'm getting sorta hungry anyway", Hay Lin smiled. Will smiled back to her.

So after a few hours, the girls were all full with pizza, they were squeaky clean, and were ready to go to bed. "Good night, girls", Cornelia said as she turned off the lights. The girls got under their covers. Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin exchanged glances. Will closed her eyes and covered her shoulders because of the cold outside. "We have to stay awake to keep an eye out for anything suspicious", the girls mouthed to each other. They all nodded and rested their heads on the pillows; looking at the ceiling.

It had been a while of turning trying to get comfortable, but not enough to sleep. Irma kept closing her eyes and opening them quick with sleepiness in her eyes. "Irma! You can't go to sleep", Taranee whispered loudly. Will was already fast asleep. "Don't worry, I won't. I'm just going to turn the other way...", Irma turned around the other way. "Irma", Taranee whispered. No response. "Irma", Taranee whispered again. Right away, she heard light snores from her. "Oh great, Hay Lin, wake her up please", Taranee whispered. Hay Lin was sleeping facing the ceiling. "Ugh, Cornelia?", Taranee whispered. Cornelia turned to her, "Yeah?". "Oh good. You're awake. Everyone else fell asleep super fast", Taranee whispered. "We're tired, that's why. I can't blame them, but now niether of us can sleep", Cornelia whispered back.

Taranee checked her clock; 10:23 p.m. Taranee rested her head on her arms facing up. She closed her eyes, I'm only going to rest my eyes.... She began to think about everything going on. How here life had changed completely after Hay Lin's grandma told them that they were chosen to be the new Guardians of the Veil. She thought about all the past experiences with her friends. Before she knew it, she couldn't open her eyes because she was already asleep. Cornelia had gone to sleep a little after she did. Now no one was there to watch Will.

Everything in the room was still. The girls made no noise whatsoever, except for Irma's slight snoring. The cold and fierce wind hit the window, sending little shivers down the spine of the sleeping girls. The room was silent...all for a creak that no one heard. A shadow passed through the hall of their big room. It was now looking at the sleeping girls, with the gadget he had earlier in his hand. He walked silently next to Will's bed.

How did I get myself in this mess. All I did was walk towards my red head angel. Now I'm trapped here., he thought. And we all know who he is. Matt kneeled down, looking at her closed eyes. He searched for some kind of pink light source, he saw nothing. He touched her head lightly. Will smiled in her sleep, and a pink light could be seen from under the covers. Matt opened the covers slowly and saw the Heart of Candracar resting on her open palm. He saw her move slightly and moved his masked head towards her eyes. They were still closed in sleep. He slowly reached for it and grabbed it. He put it in his pocket and was about to leave when he heard Will gasp. His brown eyes widened and turned around to see her sitting up. She opened her mouth and was about to scream, but Matt covered her mouth. Will got mad and bit his hand. Matt yelped and rubbed his hand. Will threw a pillow hard at his head, "Get out of here!".

Suddenly, everyone woke up with a big gasp. "Guys! We fell asleep!", Taranee yelled. Everyone got up and were surrounding him. "Look! It's-", before Cornelia could finish, Matt zapped her with the machine that let out a green glow. Cornelia's eyes did not close, they only lost it's beautiful blue color and turned gray before she collapsed to the floor like a board. "Cornelia!", Hay Lin yelled and knelt down. Matt, though, zapped her as well. Hay Lin grunted as her eyes soon became gray as well and fell to the floor, her knees still bent.

"Now it's personal, dude! You do not touch my buddies!", Irma yelled from behind. Matt turned around, only to be hit on the face with a chair. He collapsed on the ground. Irma put the chair down and looked at his body. "Never mess with me, you got it? You keep away from me and anyone of my friends, got it?", Irma yelled at his face. Matt's eyes opened slightly and zapped her with the ray gun. "Hel-", Irma grunted as her ocean blue eyes turned gray and collapsed next to Matt, her arm still pointing out. Matt slowly got up and looked at the two frightened girls who were holding each other in a corner.

Matt came closer to them. "Get away from us!", Taranee yelled and held Will closer. "Wait, Taranee. We could use the Heart of-OH MY GOD! WHERE IS THE HEART OF CANDRACAR!", Will screamed as she checked her body to find that the Heart was missing. "Will! He has it in his pocket!", Taranee yelled, pointing a shaky finger to his pocket. Matt zapped Taranee, and sent her eyes gray and to the ground. The 4 girls lay still on the ground, almost as if frozen with their eyes gray and wide open.

Will looked terrifed at the masked stranger. "Please! I beg of you! What do you want from me and the Heart!", Will studdered, her eyes dripping tears down her pale cheeks. Matt's eyes closed, tears falling from his own. Will looked in disbelief, HE'S crying?. "Will, I didn't intend for this to go so far, but I can't have them interfere", Matt said softly. "H-huh?...Wait, how do you know my name? Your voice sounds familiar", Will said, daring to take a few steps towards him. More tears fell down his closed eyes. Matt dropped his weapon. Will looked down to the weapon with an "O" shaped mouth and then turned to the masked boy. Matt grabbed the top of the mask and slid it off his face.

Will's eyes widened extremely big, as she slowly covered her mouth with her shaking hands. "M-m-m-matt?", Will studdered, tears falling down her eyes. Hurt was showing in her eyes and face. Matt approached her slowly and looked into her liquid brown eyes. "Is it really...you Matt?", Will asked again with a little more sturdiness in her voice. Matt closed his eyes and wiped away her tears. "I-I...can't believe-", was all she could see before she fainted in his arms.
