A secret mission to find love! Part 8
A Caleb and Will story
Chapter 8: which way can I go to be safe!
Will had been lying on the grass by the River for over three hours, looking at herself in the water still making circles with her finger, thinking about how this all started and how she was going to fix this Problem; but nothing came into her mind before she knew it; it began to get dark so she head back towards her apartment check every now and then for any sign of Caleb following her or Matt watching her walking home.
Once she realized she was in front of her door and opened it, she walked in and just as she closed it finally hit her, she could move back to her home town "Fadden Hills" she knew running away from her problems weren't going to solve anything but it was the only way Caleb or Matt would be able to find her.
She head up to her room packing her stuff, she knew that her dad loved her and would let her stay by his house, even if he was married to that woman; she was still his daughter and would let her stay there until she could find an way to handle the two boys fighting for her. She was so lost in her thoughts that she barely heard something tapping on her window, when she finally turned to see who it was nothing was there; but she had to make sure it wasn't either Matt or Caleb, she opened her window and without warning something green jumped up in front of her face that she scream and fell to the ground.
Once she saw what it was, she stood up glaring at the walking-talking- toad Blunk "what the hell did you think you were doing trying to scare me to death!" she snapped at him pulling him inside by the collar of his shirt; then released seeing a fear look in his eyes.
"Will in danger" he said
"What do you mean in danger, I'm safe in my room" Will said without a looking worried about what the little green toad was saying.
"no, Phobos has plan for Will and Snake man coming with an army now!" he explained, this made Will start to worry cause every time Phobos name was mentioned she felt nerves but hide it to make the other Guardians felt like they could fight him off without fearing if the would lose.
"Blunk listen to me carefully go find help, but make sure no one sees you, got it" she said scared and it showed every clearly; the Passling nodded then climbed out the window and ran down the road.
Will packed her stuff up more quickly, then went over to her side draw pulling the Heart out and placed it in her jean pocket safely, she zipped her bag up running down stairs and she slowly opened the front door to see him and his followers behind him, but he was in human form [yes it was Cedric with a Hugh smirk across his face looking down at the leader of the Guardians]
"hello Guardian" he said with his cold tone voice sending chills down her spin, it didn't take here long to realized that she had to run so she dropped her bag and slammed the door close to run up to her room.
She closed her door and leaned on it, she could hear His army break down the door and heading up stairs searching each room. She ran over to grabbed her pet Mr. Huggles and headed for the window, she placed him on her desk to open the window. She opened it again and grabbed the little creature; just as she did her door was broken in two with Cedric now in his Snake-man form with about 10 guards behind him.
He slowly made his way towards her; she turned to jump on the fire escape but was too slow when she felt him grab her leg with his cold hand. Luckily Mr. Huggles landed on the fire Escape safely but she was not so fortuned.
He pulled her back in smiling "yes, the leader of the Guardians is finally captured, Prince Phobos will be pleased" he said holding her in both hands facing him.
"Let go of me, you over grown lizard" Will yelled trying to get free of his grip;
Just as she thought it was all over something green shot Cedric in the chest about four times before he released her; and as she fell someone caught her, she turned to see Caleb and Matt in his Regent form they had come to save her. Caleb turned to Matt handing Will over to him so he could kick the hell out of Cedric; Matt flew out the Window with Will in his arms.
She turned to look down and saw Caleb grabbing Mr. Huggles then jumped towards Matt grabbing his tale for dare life [well who could blame him, it was a long way down] she wrapped her arms around Matt's neck tight well they flew away; to her surprise they went back to Matt's house; Matt had changed back with Will still in his arms but Caleb fell backwards on the ground with the little creature on his head.
It did look funny, Matt had put her down and they all sneaked in the back door heading up to his room, hoping they wouldn't wake his parents up and to her surprise they didn't; when they were in his room and his door locked Will flopped herself on his bed with her hands on her face in fists.
"Will you ok?" Caleb asked sounding concerned and after the last three days, she never would have thought she ever see the old Caleb. She sat up still covering her hands over face.
"Why is this happening?" she asked herself not realizing the two boys staring at her in concern and confusion.
"What do you mean by that?" they both asked
She stood up showing her annoyed face "have you two already forgotten" she said angered not only by Cedric trashing her home, but these boys were the reason she was going to abandon the Guardians and everything around.
"Forgotten what?" Caleb asked watching the teenage girl he fell in love with almost losing it.
"Just forget it, I'm going for a shower" she replied walking into the passage into the bathroom starting a shower, she slowly undressed getting into a warm shower. Feeling the warm water touching her skin was the most wonderful feeling ever, she wished that this moment would last forever; she began washing her red hair thinking about what her mother would say if she found the apartment trashed.
She rinsed out her short red hair, wondering what on earth would Phobos want with her, and why send an army and not just Cedric; did he see what happened in the mall and how she lost control on her powers or did think the other Guardians were with her.
After washing herself she got out, drying herself off and putting a large shirt and baggy pants on that Matt was off left for her [he was sweet and thoughtful, so was Caleb when he wanted to be, she offended how Caleb and Cornelia stayed together so long, maybe it was cause they were more alike then they'd admit]
Once again she looked into the mirror confused "why me? Why is this happening?" she questioned the girl in the mirror knowing well that it was her; she opened the bathroom door heading back towards Matt's room and slowly opened the door, she could hear the two boys going at each other, luckily they weren't trying to kill each other like before.
"It's all your fault, if you still stayed with Cornelia, Will wouldn't be running for her life" she could make out that was Matt defending her {oh, he really was sweet}.
"hey I didn't go up to Phobos saying "how about you send your army and snake boy to capture the leader of the Guardians" did I Mr. Regent guy" she could tell that was Caleb and he sounded mad.
"Don't push it, or you'll be the one sleeping outside" Matt had snapped at Caleb and all Will wanted to do was get some sleep, she hoped that if she walked in the room they would shut up.
She walked in and to her dismay they didn't even notice her coming in as they were arguing to notice; she flopped herself on the bed taking a deep breath in and out, which made the two turn to see her on the bed, just the sight of her on the bed made them both shut and she was happy.
"You feeling better Will?" Caleb asked not looking at Matt
"I guess" she answered back
"I hope your warm in those cloths, I couldn't find anything else you could change in" Matt explained
"Its fine, thanks but now all I want is to sleep" she said sleepily
They both nodded, as she slept on the bed the guys rested against either side of the bed sides; she knew that it was uncomfortable to sleep in a sitting position but in order to protect her and from each other seemed like the safest way for all of them.
So as she soon fell asleep peacefully and during that whole time Matt would wake up for a few seconds to check then fell back to sleep, Caleb did the same and it went on all through the night. By morning the two were so tired that neither woke up for a well, she already made three cups of Coffee then brought it to the room placing it on Matt's desk, she sat on the chair in his desk sipping her coffee.
After sleeping so peacefully in Matt's bed with the two guys protecting her, was the closest thing to safe after what happened in her apartment, she planed to go see what was left of her poor home; she still couldn't rewrap this whole thing around her head [ first both her and Caleb get captured in Meridian then he had sudden feelings for her, after returning to earth they slept at her place then the next day, Caleb tries his luck to make Will feel the same as he did at the moment but, after having a meager break out with Cornelia and Caleb in the mall, then Matt comes back in the picture and they have fights over her, now her life was at stake and she was trapped with fear]
Again she was so lost in her thoughts that she hardly heard Matt or Caleb come get their coffee staring down at the girl, who was not even looking up at them. "morning Will" Matt had said and that snapped her out of her thoughts causing her to turn to see the two guys standing in front of her.
"Would you stop doing that, it's creepy" she said getting up walking over to her pet not looking back at the guys faces; "I was thinking of going to check on home, how bad it was trashed" she continued.
"Are you crazy, they could be waiting for you to do that" Caleb said shocked at Will
"I hate to agree with Caleb but it is still too dangerous to head home after what happened last night" Matt said
For a minute Will smiled not because they were worried about her, but they weren't arguing about her reckless choice to go home; it really did feel like old times where everyone was friends and this made her feel happy again.
"thanks for the concern but it's my home and in a few days my mom will come home and if she saw what happened, who knows what may happen" Will said putting the cup down on the desk again then walked towards his door with her pet around her neck; both guys had frowns on their faces, which she knew they did not like the idea of her returning to her home so soon plus alone.
"I know you want to see your home but I really think you should stay at Matt's for a well longer" Caleb said feeling Matt's face looking from him to Will.
"thanks for letting me stay for the night but I can't hide forever" and with that she walked out the door then slammed it closed running out the back door, towards her home, even though she knew they were right and knew that they could still be at the building but it was a risk she had to take.
If they weren't there, she would use the heart to try fix the place up a bit then do what she planned to do in the first place going back to her old home town and stay by her dads to try work out a plain on figuring out Phobos plan and her guy problem but it looked like they started to stop fighting with each other just to try find a way to protect Will.
She arrived at her place; she slowly walked through the broken front door and into the place she called home; was now nothing more then a large mess worse then what her room looked like when it was dirty. She made her way through broken wood and shattered glass pictures, she found herself in her room that seemed to be the only room leased messed up; and in that moment she grabbed the heart out to try fix some of the stuff in her home, so when her mom came home it would look like a robbery.
Slowly things began to fall back in place, leaving some stuff like broken glasses and messed up rooms; all the broken doors were fixed and pictures too; she put it back in her pocket then head down stairs to grab her bag to leave this once safe place.
Once she was out with her pet still around her neck and her bag with cloths and some of the little creature's stuff that Matt had given her the day she got the little Dormouse. She locked up the place then ran towards the bus stop to catch the next bus to Fadden Hills; she knew that the Guardians wouldn't understand and even though it would break up the team, it was the only way to stay safe from Phobos, Cedric and away from her guy problems, she was so lost to find any solutions here so she would try find it somewhere that might show her how to solve it altogether.
As for Caleb and Matt they had no choice but to work together to keep her safe from Phobos by following her from a far distance; so if trouble came one of them would be there to help even if she would hate them for following her.
