Chapter 6

------
For the first time in a long time, Will was proud of herself. She had figured out the guards changed shift every six hours, and for about five minutes there was no one guarding her. It was always the same four guards that came, too. The one that had the first shift of every day slept… and he didn't wake until his part was over.
Will used this time to try and sand down a rock to fit into the lock. Not to make a key, but to make a needle of sorts, so she could pick the lock. On the third day in her new cell, she finished. Unfortunately, it was near the end of the sleeping guards shift, meaning he would wake up soon. Will would have to wait until tomorrow to escape.
She would find Alec, no matter what.

(This takes place a couple days earlier)
Caleb looked up as the door at the top of the stairs opened. Yan Lin walked down the stairs, followed by four girls. Caleb put his head down in disappointment-Will wasn't with them.
"Caleb," Hay Lin said as she reached the bottom of the stairs, "we have something for you." It was then Caleb noticed they were all giving him weird looks- including Yan Lin. Cornelia came forward with something wrapped in a blanket in her arms. Caleb looked suspiciously at it as Cornelia handed it to him.
He cast a glance at all the guardians—former and present—before pulling away the blanket. The rebel leader gasped at what he saw. 'A baby?' he thought, 'why would they give me a baby—'
"Oh, god." Caleb said as it dawned on him. He started breathing heavily and closed his eyes. "That's why she left."
"What? What do you mean 'that's why she left'?" Caleb looked up to find Cornelia glaring at him and the others looking at him curiously. A soft gasp was heard when Taranee figured it out.
"Wait—that's-that's—"
"Yeah. This is Will's baby. And I'm the father."

AN: Short chapter, I know. I'm not very good at writing long chapters, as you can probably tell. I've decided I'm going to write a chapter, then finish that, and as soon as I'm done with the next chapter (in this case chapter 7) I'll post the chapter before that (this chapter). And then I'll get to work on the next chapter (chapter 8) and when I'm done I'll post the one before that (chapter 7) and so on… does that make sense to anyone? Thanks for all your reviews! They inspire me to write more… XD I'm sort of getting back into WITCH, but I can't promise anything. The 'O' episode really helped that… Till next time!
