(One note the heart is still with the guardians)
Chapter 5
Will ran frantically all over the ally-way looking for Verity, behind the dustbins and boxes. The others were still in shock.
"What happened?"
"What do you mean what happened? We got thrashed that's what happened!"
"Guys…"
"Well why do it? I mean come on we are not after them at the moment!"
"Guys…"
"We have to get you guys to the hospital or something."
"GUYS! Verity's gone!" Will yelled over them tears in her eyes.
"What do you mean!" Caleb left Cornelia's side and grabbed Will's arms shaking her.
"What! Where is she, she has to be here!" All the girls were shocked to say the least.
"Let's go back to Grandma. Maybe she can help us." Hay Lin suggested timidly. Cornelia limped towards the rest of the group, Irma helping her.
"I think Corny here needs the hospital now…" The others looked at the pair to see blood rushing out of Cornelia's right leg and arm. Also a small line was making its way down her face.
"Oh my…"
It had been 2 hours since the guardians arrived at the hospital; they had all been treated, Irma having a small bump on the head and a grazed knee. Taranee only had a few cuts and bruises on her arms and legs which had been cleaned and covered. Caleb and Hay Lin both had large cuts on their arms; Hay Lin also had a gash in her left leg which was covered by a large bandage. Caleb had bruised his ribs and had bandages wrapped round his chest. Will didn't have many wounds a bruise here and there but looked the worse, her eyes held tears that were silently rolling down her cheeks watching the door.
All the girls' parents apart from Will's had arrived almost 2 hours ago but none had left because the rest of the girls wouldn't leave until Cornelia was finished. The earth guardian had been rushed into a side room to be treated everyone was worried for her. What's going to happen to her what if she's so bad that her mom and dad never let us hang out again? She is like one of our strongest fighters, if only I had used the heart faster maybe she would be ok and Verity would be here too. Will kept thinking until the door opened ad the doctor came in.
"Mr. and Mrs. Hale?"
"Yes, doctor how is she?"
"Not as bad as first thought. She only has a mild concussion and a few cuts the one on her arm was the worst, it needed 20 stitches." Everyone sighed with relief.
"But we will need to keep her in over night for observation. If you would follow me Mr. Hale, Mrs. Hale." The rest of the guardians were about to leave thinking it was ok now. Will waited around hoping to be able to go and see her, Caleb also was waiting.
"See you guys later."
"Bye, be careful." Hay Lin walked out with Taranee and her parents. Irma hugged Will and whispered that it would be ok. After they had left, Will continued to watch the door not even looking up at Caleb as he paced. Soon Cornelia's parents came back in and saw the pair.
"We have to go but could you go in and keep her company for a little while?" Mrs. Hale asked Will touching her shoulder. She looked up at her and nodded. With that all four went into the room that Cornelia was in.
She was sitting up in the bed resting but when the door opened she opened her eyes and smiled at them.
"Hi mom, dad hey guys." Her voice was a bit quiet; her parents lent in and gave her a small kiss.
"Sorry hun we have to go, but Will and Caleb will be here to look after you." They left soon after, the room was silent until.
"I'm sorry." The blond looked up at Will.
"Why?"
"I should have used the heart faster so you could protect yourselves." She looked at Cornelia.
"I let every one get hurt and Verity kidnapped." No one knew what to say.
"Don't worry Will we'll get her back." Cornelia lent forward and took her hand and gave it a friendly squeeze. Will looked up at her and smiled.
After the ice had been broken they spoke about anything and everything till a nurse told them to leave.
"Bye text me when you get out so we can you know." Will gave her a hug and wink. Caleb gave her a kiss on the cheek. And they left together. As they walked home together they didn't talk to each other or even look at each other.
"Bye Caleb meet us tomorrow at midnight at the park." Caleb looked at the red head.
"We are going to get Verity back one way or the other." She stats with such conviction in her voice that Caleb didn't doubt her at all. Will started to climb the fire escape that lends to her room.
"Why are you…?"
"My astral drop is home and my mom won't know what is going on if I am at the door and in my room." Caleb nodes and walks away his head down.
Will looks in her room to see the other Will at her desk looking into space her math books covering the space on the desk. She opened the window and said
"Astral drop!" The second Will disappeared in a flash of light and Will was on her own again. Being to tried to even think she just dropped onto her bed and went to sleep.
Light go away! Wait light? Will shot up and looked around it was 9am Sunday morning. She grabbed her head; she had a large headache so she went into the bathroom to take some pain killers. As she looked in the mirror her reflection stared back at her. Her red hair was stuck up her normal tan skin looked pale and sickly and her eyes were red and puffy.
"Will breakfast! I heard you get up so come and eat!" Will went into the kitchen to get her breakfast. Her mother looked up and was surprised at how ill she looked.
"Honey are you ok? Have you got a bug?" She rushed over to the small teenager feeling her forehead and such.
"Mom I'm fine. I'm going back to bed." Susanne watched her retreating back with sad eyes. Why can't she tell me what's really wrong. Once Will was safely in her room see grabbed her cell phone and started to send out the time to meet at the front of they houses or apartment. Once that was done she closed her eyes to get some more rest.
When she opened her eyes again it was nearing nightfall. Will changed into some old torn at the knee jeans with a large white jumper over a black tank top. She went into the kitchen again, only to find her mom was nowhere to be seen! I wonder where she is. So will had something to eat and went to climb out the window just in case her mom came back.
"Pord lartsa" Once again there was another Will standing opposite her.
"Stay here I got to go." She waved to astral Will and went down the fire escape. She passed the large clock face it said it was 11pm. Ok I got an hour to get the girls and meet Caleb. It took a little while to get Taranee to agree to the plan but after that it was clear sailing.
Will, Irma Taranee and Hay Lin all got to Cornelia's apartment she was waiting for them.
"We left our drops with our parents but you can't come." Will told the tall blond.
"What I am so going with you! You need me…"
"Not to get even more hurt." But Cornelia was adamant she was coming too.
There all got to the park a little slower then Will would have liked but they had a few minutes to spare. They were waiting for Caleb with Cornelia was resting on a bench with Hay Lin who was steadying her. The other three were pacing waiting for the young rebel.
"Why the hell is he!"
"Will calm down I'm sure…"
"Calm down! The little girl who is my future is out there!" Will was fuming but she was mostly scared.
"Will, Verity is Caleb's child too I know he will be here soon." Cornelia spoke softly. Will sighed and dropped down next to her.
"Your right." There was a rustling above them and they screamed when a thing dropped down in front of them. It was Blunk.
"Hey Blunk where's Caleb?"
"Right here." They all turn to see the tall rebel leader coming towards them. Will stood up and started to poke his chest.
"Where were you? We were going to leave without you!" He was about to say something when a cry broke out.
"Guardians unite!" And in a flash of light they had transformed into the guardians of the veil. Will held out the heart and concentrated and a blue portal appeared. Caleb went first with Blunk at his heels. Taranee and Hay Lin flew into my portal next with Cornelia and Irma behind. Will watched them go in and ran after them.
They arrived in a large field that was due north of the city. You could just make out the shape of the houses and the large castle. Hay Lin flew off to inspect the area to make sure no one was around.
"All clear!" They flew (Irma and Taranee carrying Caleb and Hay Lin carrying Blunk.) to the edge of the city, sneaking into a passage way that leads to the Infinite city. Once inside they were met by Aldarn and about 13 other rebels.
"Why are you here my friend? You are not due till next week."
"Phobos has my daughter." Once they had fully explained the rebels quickly told Caleb of the movements of the guards in the east wing of the castle.
"Phobos must be holding Verity there." Bringing out maps of the castle and it passages they devised a plan of entry.
"Hay Lin you blast this passage with 5 rebels and Irma. Taranee you take the rest though the main entrance into the throne room." The two teams got ready to leave.
"Cornelia, Will and I will take this route to sneak Verity out."
All of the guardians and rebels snuck towards the castle. Caleb indicated to Taranee to start the attack. Taking the mass of rebels she flew up and fired two large powerful balls into the courtyard. Amidst the chaos the fire guardian had burnt the gateways open but there many guards waiting for them. The prince had been expecting them.
Nodding to Caleb the air and water guardians left with the rebels. To go to an entrance that the guards had left to help fight the rebels. The three left went to an entrance that was thought to be abandoned by all.
"Ok eww! This is soo gross!" Cornelia wrinkled her nose slightly at the smell. Will nodded in agreement all Caleb did was roll his eyes and mutter. Girls. Finally they arrived in the east wing of the castle, walking along the pictures grew more and more disturbing.
"Which room is it?"
"I don't know."
"Lot of good you are!" Will looked in a few rooms many being empty apart from furniture. In one was a portrait of the past king and queen with a young boy.
"Hey look at this!" Cornelia yelled to the others.
"What? Have you found Verity?"
"No, but look at this picture." All three looked at the large portrait.
"That's Phobos's parents."
"You mean…"
"Yeah that's him." The smiling face of the six year old looking at them, haunting them with his eyes.
"Hard to believe that he's the guy we have to fight."
"Let's move on." They continue to look in the rooms, until they come to a room that was empty. They were about to leave when something caught Caleb's eye. He bent down and picked it up it was a hair band.
"Guy's have a look at this." He held it up and Will took it from him looking at it closely.
"This is Verity's! I put it on her yesterday!" There were loud explosions downstairs hurrying towards the fight they saw that with the help of the three guardians they were holding they own.
Caleb was picked up by Will they flew towards the others. Cornelia sent the tables at the guards knocking them back. Hay Lin and Irma combined they powers and froze the guards to the right of the rebels. Once they saw the tables move and vines from outside wrap up the creatures that were known as the guards. They knew they were back flying towards them, leaving the rebels to fight off the guards. Together they flew towards the throne room.
The door was locked so Hay Lin blew it off it hinges. Cedric was waiting for them he slammed his tail onto the ground missing the group barely. Irma shot a stream of water into his face. Yelling and cursing loudly he fell back, only to get burned by Taranee and the fire ball she shot under him.
"Now where is she?" Will yells at him Caleb had his sword at his neck. (Will is still holding him!) But before he could spill the beans on her location they was a clapping coming from behind them. Prince Phobos was clapping as he walked into the light.
"Well done you have beaten my best but I want the girl." Dropping Caleb he ran over to the taller man (Yeah right!) sword in front of him.
"Give her back!"
"I'm sorry but I can't I need her." He fired a flash of yellow which pushed Caleb back into the wall. Cornelia held her hands to the ground bringing forth vines to wrap round Phobos. But he killed the plants with a flick of his wrist; Taranee hovered over him and shoot a flamethrower at him. He pushed the flames away and towards the other guardians, jumping out of the way Irma used her water power to fire bubbles at him. Not doing much damage it distracted him long enough for Cornelia's vines to trap him. Unable to move his hands he could not make the plants leave his body.
"Now will you tell us where Verity is?" But before he could answer a voice spoke out.
"He does not have her I do."
That's it sorry it's short the next one will be longer! But review if you want me to continue!
