The Guardians all stood over the empty field, (empty except for the Rebels) and smiled at eachother, glad to have won this particular battle.
They landed gracefully on the ground and Caleb ran over to thank them.
"We are indebt to your help!" He said, smiling at them.
"No problem, it is our job, right?"
"Right." Will said looking at Hay Lin.
"I'm going to be sooo late for dinner." Cornelia said, slanting a glance at her watch, her parents had been expecting her an hour ago. "And soo grounded."
"Oh lighten up my dear Cornelia! You'll still get to go to the competition, right? Oh. My bad. It's tomorrow. With your luck, you'll be grounded-"
"I'll go." Cornelia snapped, glaring at Irma. "I'm sure they'll let me go to something that I've been planning for so long." Cornelia flipped her hair and dismissed the topic. I hope.
Caleb watched, still fascinated by Cornelia, though said nothing and looked away quickly when Cornelia slanted an annoyed glance.
"Well I'm gonna stay a while, it sounds like there's gonna be dinner! Mmmm!" Taranee exclaimed, and Irma laughed in agreement.
"Yeah, well I need to go home. Will, could you please?" She said, turning to the guardian of the heart.
"Sure." She opened up a portal and Cornelia nodded her thanks before stepping in and rushing home, praying she could find a good excuse.
"You like her!" Will teased, looking straight at Caleb.
"Aah, love." Hay Lin giggled.
"I knew it!" Aldarn said, appearing at Caleb's right side, and Caleb mentally slapped his forehead.
"Well, you have competition."
"Irma!" Will looked at Irma with annoyance.
"Whaat? Everyone knows she likes Luke Brown!"
"I doubt that."
Caleb stared at the ground for a moment. Luke Brown? Who was that?
"It isn't confirmed." Taranee said.
"Nothing that is true is confirmed."
