Chapter 5

Four girls and one boy stood staring at an empty cell. The boy was the first to speak, "I told you she wouldn't be here. The guards knew Caleb and I saw her so they moved her to a different cell."

Cornelia looked down angrily, things were not going as she had planned. "Well then we'll just have to search the castle. Hay Lin, Irma, take Aldarn to the right and Taranee and I will go to the left."

"Cornelia, I don't think we should split up. What if we get attacked?" Cornelia's eyes narrowed as she glared at Irma.

"Yeah, I think Irma's right. If we get attacked we won't be able to contact each other." Cornelia sighed.

"Fine, we'll go together. It'll just take us a lot longer then if we split up." They started off to the right. After about a half-hour of wondering around, Hay Lin stopped them.

"Stop, be quiet! I hear someone coming this way!"

"Hide!" Aldarn hissed, limping over to some conveniently placed barrels. Just as Taranee was going to duck behind one, the person Hay Lin heard rounded the corner. It was Trill!

"Oh, Taranee! Thank goodness I found you!" Taranee then fully stood up, along with the other girls and Aldarn. "Girls, I need you to do me a favor!"

"Do you know where Will is?" Taranee asked. "We came here to rescue her."

"No, unfortunately, I don't. But I need you to take this and give him to Caleb." Trill gave the bundle she was carrying to Cornelia, who was closest to her. "You need to go before the guards find out he's gone!" Before the guardians could say anything, Trill turned around and left.

Aldarn leaned forward to see what the thing was. Just as he was bout the touch it, the thing moved. Cornelia gasped and almost dropped it. "It's alive!"

Irma rolled her eyes, "No duh, she said it was a him."

Cornelia glared in response. She reached for the blanket but before she could unravel it, a guard turned the corner.

"Guardians- move!" Hay Lin shouted as they flew into the air, Irma and Taranee carrying Aldarn. The girls made it out of the castle alive, the bundle still in Cornelia's arm.

They headed towards Aldarn's house. When they got there Cornelia opened the blanket to reveal a sleeping baby. "It's a baby!" She gasped.

"What?" The girls crowded over Cornelia while Aldarn limped over.

"Why would Trill give us a baby?" Taranee asked.

"More importantly, why would she want us to give it to Caleb?"

AN: I am so sorry for taking so long to update… and this is a pretty sorry excuse for a chapter too. I have no real good explanation just that I've moved on from W.I.T.C.H. and like other shows better now…. And I have a nasty case of writers block. But that doesn't excuse how long this has taken… Even though I don't really like W.I.T.C.H. anymore (love the comics, dislike the show), I will still update this at least once a month, hopefully with better chapters. I know how I want it to end… It's between this and the end that's bothering me.

Spoilers for second season (I don't know which episode)

Just so you know, Trill isn't Nerissa or anything… she's Trill… the cook… yea...

O is for Obedience is my new favorite episode. Why? Because Caleb walks away from Cornelia! Yes! That inspired me to write a one-shot, which I will be posting sometime soon.
