Chapter Eight

Time to Fly

Tai, Carina and Izzy hid behind the decaying old stone wall, next to some wooden boxes which were covered in some kind of green moss or slime. What ever it was it stunk.

"Can you see them?" Tai whispered to Carina, who was peaking around the boxes careful not to touch them though.

"No! Not a single clue!" Carina sighed, turning to face her friends. Her curls that were usually bouncy and vibrant, where sagging and they looked dry. Carina's usually bright, smiling eyes were worried. She held her hands together.

"Oh I just want to find them so badly," She said.

"We all do, and I just know they want to find us," Izzy said, looking off into the distance.

"They're out there somewhere, we can't rest until we find them," Tai said, slamming her fist into her palm.

Carina and Izzy nodded in agreement.

"This city is pretty big, we need a direction," Izzy said.

"Think unusual," Carina said.

"Okay, let's be reasonable, they're gonna be hiding," Tai stated. After all isn't that what they were doing?

"Shh," Carina whispered, placing her index finger over her plump lips. Her hand was covered by a light green fingerless glove. Her arm was covered with vines that twisted and turned up her forearm. 'Nice touch,' Tai thought.

"Did you hear, apparently the Guards in the underground prison found the Heart of Kandracar, just floating around! I mean, I know the Guardians are here somewhere, but are they that stupid to lose that?" A Meridian gossiped on the other side of the wall.

"That thing is the source of their and Kandracar's power, and they're that stupid to loose it?" He blabbered on to his friend.

"Uh-hu, I saw one, running in the center, wore a blue outfit. Fast little thing. Tiny too," He said, 'great this guy sounds like a meat head,' Tai rolled her eyes. She knew a meat head when they spoke, after all most of the guys on the guys soccer team where meat heads, if it weren't for Sergio and a few other guys on the boys team saved them from being thrashed.

"pfft like she could fight," Another said.

"Hannah," Izzy breathed. I think we all got that, Tai thought.

"But where is she now?" Tai hisses back.

"Listen and you'll learn!" Carina silenced them.

"Urgh, they think they're so great, here we are suffering and they live it up on Earth, not a care in the universe," the first guy said. Tai heard the other two gasp.

"Too lazy to come and save us," the other said.

"Thank goodness two are in the underground prison," Another said.

"How rude," Izzy said, fuming. You could practically see the steam coming out of Izzy's ears. 'Okay, calling Izzy lazy is acceptable cause that's what she is, but if someone's in danger, she'd be the first one to step up to the plate and same them, and I know it's the same for Carina and I' Tai thought madly.

"They're in prison?" Carina said, shocked.

"Apparently," Tai said, pacing back and forward. She could already see a problem, they could not get to the prison. Places like that were always heavily guarded.

"What can we do?" Izzy sulked, sinking to the ground and hugging her knees.

"Izzy… think about it for a second, if no one ever tried, then what's the point of even living," Carina stomped. Izzy looked up at her friend.

"We need to do something, if you don't stand for anything, you'll fall for everything!" Tai nodded. Her older brother, Rhys told her that. Rhys wasn't always the brightest guy ever. But her knew a thing or two, Tai would have to had it too him. He always had help for her, even when he wasn't here.

Tai hung her head, I should properly apologize for ignoring him over the week, since when he mentioned mum…

"Wow, Tai, I honestly never thought you'd be the one to say something like that," Izzy grinned, her slightly crocked teeth beaming. Tai rolled her eyes.

"My brother always says stuff like that," Tai said.

"Good ol' Rhys," Carina and Izzy joked. Oh yeah, Tai smiled, last year… that was his nickname the girls gave him.

"Come on, what are we going to do about Wanna and Hannah?" Tai asked.

"Oh yeah, well, who said who took the Heart of Kandracar?" Izzy asked, blankly.

"The Guards," Tai said.

"So what happened to Wanna if they have the Crystal?" Carina said.

"Something isn't right, you have to admit that, why would that Heart just be floating? It's like, apart of Wanna," Tai pointed out some facts.

"Yeah," Izzy agreed.

"Something not right," Carina said.

"I guess if we want to know… we go to the Prison," Izzy said, eyeing the other girls. Tai pulled the map that Seye had given the girls. She unfolded the piece of paper to reveal the map of Meridian.

Tai observed the map, "So, we're in the middle of the city currently," She said, observing the scenery around the city centre. A pond with an ugly fish spiting green water out of its mouth. People carrying their Meridian groceries back home.

"So we just go up, Oh look is that hill? Do you think that's it?" Carina pointing past Tai and down the Meridian street.

Tai looked to the map and where Carina was pointing, "Okay but how do we get there?" Tai asked.

"Up?" Izzy pointed to the roofs of the Meridian houses.

"Alright!" Carina and Tai beamed.

"Wow, I hope that none of us fall," Carina said, trying to hold her balance of the slanted roof. Poor Carina, she had high heeled green boots and she was expected to walk a very long distance slanted. But then again she does wear them everyday. Tai was just thankful she was in sneakers.

"Let's just go, and try and be discreet!" Izzy said. It was really windy up on the roof tops. Both Carina and Izzy's long hair blew everywhere, uncontrollable. Tai tried to stop her bob from flicking her in the eyes.

"We can hide behind the chimneys," Tai said.

"Alright," Izzy said, crouching down a little to gain her balance.

"I'm nervous to go to the prison because we're 'winging it' so much but I just want to see Wanna and Hannah, as soon as possible!" Carina said. "Uh-oh, I think we have a problem," She said, standing on the edge of the roof, looking down.

"Uh-oh, indeed. How can we simply jump that far?" Tai asked.

"Fly?" Izzy asked, a stern look of concentration on her face.

"Uh, how?" Carina asked. Looking at Izzy who managed to get a few powerful flaps from her giant indecent Guardian wings.

"This maybe tiring but I want my friends back!" Izzy thought flapping her wings more and more.

"If she can do that, we can," Tai grinned. Carina nodded and copied Izzy's actions.

'Okay, wings I think we need to work together,' She thought. She concentrated on her back muscles, and making them move.

"Hehe, this is fun," Izzy grinned. She was way above the roof.

Soon Carina managed to get it, Tai got it soon after.

"This is so awesome," Tai said.

"So much better than the bus!" Izzy grinned. Carina and Tai giggled.

"Let's go," Carina cried, flying ahead. Tai followed suit. "Hey wait up, I'm not that good and maneuvering yet!" Izzy cried, falling behind.

"You'll catch up," Tai laughed, pushing forward. "Eventually"

"No way! Now!" Izzy cried, powering forward.

"ARGHHHHHH!"

"What was that?" Carina cried, turning around. That scream had made the girls stop right in their tracks.

"I don't know," Tai turned.

"I think it came from there," Izzy pointed to the castle that sat in the distance.

"But…" Carina started.

"You know it doesn't sound good, so let's just hurry," Izzy said, picking up the pace.

"Wait, what if that had something to do with Wanna or Hannah?" Tai asked. After all who else would scream like that for no reason?

"Oh my… we have to go!" Carina said, as they picked up the pace.

I hope… I just hope… with all my heart that those two are alright, Tai thought, panic filling her head and heart.

A/N: How was it??? Ha, I know it needs some grammar and spelling work and my writing skills aren't that good but hey its fanfiction it's aloud to suck!
