Chapter 31: One Plan After Another

Back on earth in the Silver Dragon, the guardians had returned to talk about the next thorn in there sides. Caleb had just walked into the building when they began. "Good, Caleb's here." Will has plans for Caleb and so having him here would keep her from explaining things twice. "Here is the deal everyone, we need to find Nerissa but we have no clue where she is. So we need one person to find out where she is." Before Will could finish, Hay Lyn jumped in.

"I could do it; after all I can turn invisible. Nerissa would never see me." Hay Lyn suggested. Everyone but Will thought that would be a great idea.

"Thanks Hay but I think it would be better if we sent Caleb to spy. He has done that before." Will said plainly and was about to continue when Cornelia cut her off.

"I don't think so Will; I need Caleb here with me." Cornelia didn't yell but just calmly said it so an argument wouldn't break out and since she would soon be yelled at and for good reason.

"I know your worried about him Cornelia but let's put it this way. If Hay goes in and she is spotted, then Nerissa will kill her right then and there. If Caleb goes and gets spotted, Nerissa might capture him but no matter how evil she is, she can't bring herself to kill her son. I know that this is hard but having Caleb go is the best option." Will could see everyone but Cornelia nod which is to be expected.

Then Cornelia said something that surprised everyone. "I know he is Will, it's just. You're going to hate me after I say this." Cornelia saw confused looks on there faces and continued. "Will, I'm pregnant."

"Why would" Will stopped and then realized something. "How long have you known Cornelia?" Will asked somewhat harshly.

Cornelia frowned but didn't look away from Will. "I've known since shortly after Caleb and I got married." Cornelia braced herself for the storm that was about to come.

"Cornelia! How could you be so stupid? What were thinking fighting when you very well knew that if you died or got seriously injured, that your baby would go with it.? I don't even know what to say to you Cornelia. You risking not only your life but your child's as well. From here on in, you are out of this witch until that baby is born Cornelia. Do I make myself clear?" Will calmed down a little by the end but was still very angry with Cornelia.

"Yes Will, you do. I understand and I'm ok with it." Cornelia just stood there frowning and trying to hold back some tears threatening to fall.

Will saw this and then walked over to Cornelia and put a hand on her shoulder. "Look Cornelia, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I shouldn't have and I'm sorry I asked that first question about how you could be so stupid. You not Cornelia, you're very smart, you were just trying to help. I can't let you just fight though. If we ever had a battle and then you died, I couldn't let your parents go through that." Will said fully calmed down and gently talking to her.

"You have every right to yell at me. I should have told you that I'm pregnant the first that I heard instead of keeping it a secret from you." Cornelia frowned and then turned to leave. Halfway into her turn, Will stopped her and told her to stay still.

Everyone looked to see if Cornelia's stomach had grown any. She isn't as skinny as she was but she didn't come close to being noticeable without looking really hard. The girls smiled and then Will broke the silence. "Ok Cornelia, you and Caleb go home while we come up with a different plan to find Nerissa." Cornelia hugged Will, thanked her and left with Caleb with a smile on her face. "So does anyone have a good idea or should we hope that she doesn't strike until after Cornelia has her baby." Will asked the other three.

"I say we wait." Irma said though she would rather have this thing done and over with as soon as possible.

"I say we wait too. We can't really fight Nerissa with just us four. Heck, we could barely take her with all of us." Taranee said a painful but obvious truth.

"I agree with Taranee Will, fighting Nerissa would be disastrous for us." Hay Lyn said also making a painful and obvious truth.

"Then it's settled, we wait until the baby is born and a little after that so that Cornelia has time to recover." Will wasn't so sure about waiting but found it better then getting killed. The only real problems with this is that it allows Nerissa to become stronger if she tried to and if she attacks then they won't have a choice but to fight. Will felt like a rat in a maze. Just as they find themselves getting out, the maze changes and they end up lost again. If it hadn't been for Orena's evil side, they would have found Nerissa a long time ago and everything would be good now. Of course after finding out that Cornelia is pregnant, they are probably no further in getting Nerissa jailed. Will had become so mixed up and wasn't exactly sure what to do. All Will really knew at this point is that they are trapped and there is no way out at this point. Will had planned on having kids shortly after she got out of jail and she and Matt even tried a few times which made Will feel guilty. She had just gotten made at Cornelia. Ok so it wasn't for the fact that she is pregnant, it is the fact that she didn't tell them so that she could tell Cornelia to stay out of the fight. No doubt that she is happy for Cornelia though. "Ok girls, let's go to our husbands." 'I still can't believe Matt decided to go home but then again, we all had a long day.' She laughed and walked out of the Silver Dragon.
