Chapter 3: Realization

Rose started whispering. "No, no, no, no, no." Rose then started shaking. "The demons can't return."

"Rose, what's wrong, you weren't this bad the first time?" Will said as she put her hand on Roses shoulder.

"The first time, I wasn't pregnant!" Rose snapped accidentally. "Sorry Will, I didn't mean to snap at you." Rose apologized then sat down on a chair in the kitchen.

"Don't you worry; I and the others will take care of the demons. I have a feeling that they are after us anyway." Will said trying to comfort Rose.

"Thanks Will, come on, let's go to the living room with everyone else and sorry for being such a drama queen."

"It's ok Rose, you have the right to be." Then they both walked into the other room with fake smiles on their faces.

"So Will, what are the kids names?" Rose asked as politely as she could at the moment.

"The two next to me are mine, Max and Emily, they're twins." Will said pointing to her kids. "The one next to Irma is Jake." Jake smiled at this. "The two next to Taranee are Camille and the younger one next to her is Kunkani. The one next to Cornelia is Elyon and the one next to Hay Lin is Susan. Irma, Cornelia, and Hay Lin all named their kids after someone they know. I just thought that I would let Jake know seeing that big smile on his face."

"Our kids are named Ashley and Megan, and then there is the one on the way; though you wouldn't know from looking at me." Rose said as she smiled. "Our two left for school a little before you arrived."

"So, are you just here to visit?" Jake asked.

"Kids; go to the kitchen so that the adults can talk, please?" The kids looked angry but shrugged and walked into the kitchen. "Here is the thing; the demons are back and after us. Our kids don't know about the demons as far as we know and they don't know about us being guardians. So we are looking for a place that we can keep them other than Kandrakhar, so we came to New York City to find a place for them to stay. Do you know of any place we can drop them off at? Will said after explaining the situation.

"We can take them." Jake offered.

"Sure, why not let them stay here." Rose agreed.

"We couldn't, besides, we don't know how long we will be gone and you already have your kids to deal with, it wouldn't be right." Will said trying to refuse.

"They can stay as long as they need and this will give Ashley and Megan an opportunity to have someone to hang out with." Rose said

"I don't want to be a bother to you and your family." Will said trying to get them to change their mind but was unsuccessful.

"We won't take no for an answer." Jake said; not backing down anytime soon.

"If you're sure then ok; we will leave them here. Ok kids, you can come back into the room." Once they were back into the room; will started talking again. "All of you will be here for a while. We don't know when we will be back; so be good for Rose and Jake." Will then went back to talking to Rose and Jake. "If they don't listen to you, you have our permission to ground them." Will said loud enough to make sure everyone heard. "Goodbye kids, we love you." With that said, they left.

After leaving they all went to breakfast since none of them had eaten earlier. They finally got to a good breakfast restaurant. Thirty minutes later and they were off to look for the demons. After fifteen minutes of searching for the demons; they finally gave up and thought for a minute. "I just don't get it, one second they are after us and the next; they are nowhere to be found, what's up with that." Will asked very confused.

Then hay Lin spoke up. "Well, what if they aren't after us."

"Of course they are after us Hay Lin, everyone is always after us." Irma said

"Not necessarily Irma." Matt said.

"What do you mean Matt?" Irma asked confused.

Matt went on to explain what he meant. "What I mean Irma is that; what if they aren't after us but the new guardians."

Cornelia trying as well to put the pieces together spoke up. "First of all Matt, nobody knows who the new guardians will be and second, why would they be after the new guardians anyway?"

Taranee as smart as she is figured out what Matt was trying to get through to them. "Cornelia, if they got to the new guardians before us, then they could kill them with no problem. That would mean we would have to fight them ourselves."

Caleb being knew what Taranee is getting at and spoke up. "You would have to fight them and you are also running out of time as guardians."

Cornelia now figured it out. "That means the demons win." She said with a blank face.

"Exactly Cornelia." Matt said "You know that that means that the new guardians are our own kids right?"

Will knew that they had to get back to the house. "Everyone; get back to the house." Will yelled.
