Chapter 7:
Soon, the sun was setting, as Will finally gathered herself together, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Are you going to be okay?", Angelo asked.
"I will be.", she said. "It's just, after all that's happened, adjusting to all this is going to take some time."
"I hear you there.", Angelo agreed. "Then there's the fact that two of my cousins have hooked up with the counterparts of their old girlfriends. Which amazes even me."
"Do you find it weird that it happened?", Will asked.
"To be honest, not to weird.", Angelo said. "I mean if you look at it, we all went through some pretty messed up stuff. I guess they found comfort in each other. Ten to one, Malcom and Leonas will be the next ones to do the same thing."
"I was thinkimg the same about Taranee and Irma.", Will grinned as she rested her head on her knees.
"Do you hate him?", Angelo asked. "The 'other' Angelo, I mean."
"Hate 'him', no.", Will said. "I just hate what he did to me and my friends. What about you?"
"The same for me too.", Angelo said. "I hate that they betrayed us the way they did. It makes you realise that even the best of us are capable of going bad."
"I'm just afraid that they'll find a way here and come after us.", Will said with a hint of fear in her voice. "I don't want to go back to that life being used for experiments, and lab test! I don't want to lose this chance at a new life!"
"You won't Will.", Angelo said as he held her hand. "I'll do my best to protect you from him!"
"Angelo,.......... I..........", Will said softly but was cut off when suddenly Angelo kissed her.
It wasn't a forced or rough kiss either. It was more of a gentle kiss. A type of kiss that can speak a thousand words and then some. Full of caring and emotion. His hand slowly slides into her short red hair as she pulls him closer. He then pulls her down with him as he lays down on the soft grass of the ground. She feels so perfect in his arms. He doesn't know why it took him this long to finally kiss her. Soon, he ends the kiss, hoping that she doesn't turn away his feelings.
"I'm sorry, Will.", Angelo say looking into her eyes. "I guess I'm starting to see why my two cousins did what they did. I see you, and I see the Will I grew up with when I was younger. The same Will, that I fell for those few years ago. The Will, I don't want to lose again. The Will, I'm willing to fight for."
Will then places a finger to Angelo's mouth, hushing him.
"I feel the same way.", she says softly.
Suddenly, Will was kissing Angelo now. It s full of passion and true determination, as tears are falling from her eyes. Her hands tightening the grip on his shirt as he returns the kiss. Just then, and small amount of electricity runs through both of their bodies. It felt like a light tickle as they both grinned at the feeling, while still kissing. As the sun finally sets, they end their kiss, looking into each others eyes. A smile comes to both of their faces, as they realise they have the same feelings towards each other.
As the moon starts to rise, the new couple watches the sky, with Angelo laying on the grass, with his hands behind his head, and Will resting the back of her head on his stomach sideways, with her hands intertwined on her stomach. Both are simply enjoying the view of the sky as the stars start to appear.
"Did you ever think we'd be here, doing this, only one week after we got here?", Will asked.
"Not really.", Angelo said as he reached down and took her left hand in his. "But, I'm glad we are."
Suddenly Angelo's cell phone started to ring. Angelo took it out and answered it. It was a text message from Sam, saying:
HOME NOW!!!!
"Guess we'd better head home.", Angelo said as they got to their feet.
"We could teleport.", Will said pulling out the Heart. "But, we have to be close together.
Angelo then brought his energy wings out. He pulled Will close to him, as he wrapped his wings around them.
"This close enough?", Angelo grinned as wrapped his arms around Will's waist.
"I think it'll do.", she grinned as she wrapped her arms around Angelo's neck, still holding the Heart.
They then kissed as they teleported back to the Roberts mansion.
"Where are they?", Irma asked looking out the window. "They should be here by now!"
"They'll be here soon, Irma.", Leonas said placing his hands on her shoulders. "Just give them time."
"I'm just worried, that's all.", Irma replied.
"They may have been getting to know each other a bit more, and forgot the time.", Shan Ying suggested.
Just then, in a flash of light, Will and Angelo appeared. Everyone was surprised to see Angelo's wings out and wrapped up like a cocoon.
"You don't think..........", Malcom began to ask.
Shan Ying walked up to the wrapped wings, and listened close to what was going on in there. She then heard the sound of two people kissing. She then backed away slowly, with a simile on her face.
"Looks like they REALLY got to know each other.", Shan Ying said.
"Whoa!", Marcus said amazed at what happened.
"No way!", Cornelia said in shock. "After all that, "As far as I'm concerned, Angelo Vanders can keep his distance from me!" stuff, she goes and gets with him anyway!"
"Don't forget about Irma's, "The same goes for Leonas Vanders!", part Cornelia.", Hay Lin grinned.
"Really?", Leonas said looking at Irma smiling.
"Well........ um......... it was different back then.", Irma said flashing an innocent smile.
"It was earlier this week.", Taranee replied.
"Not helping, Taranee!", Irma said.
"Well, I'm just hurt now.", Leonas joked. "How will I ever recover?"
Irma then kissed Leonas.
"How about now?", Irma asked with a smirk.
"Okay, I'm good.", Leonas said with a smile.
"So, what do we do about the two love birds over here?", Sam asked pointing towards the still wrapped up Angelo and Will.
"I say we wait them out, and tease them when they're done!", Malcom suggested grinning. "All in favor?"
"Aye!", they all agreed.
"While you all do that, we'll be in our room, spending some quality time together.", James said as he took Shan Ying's hand, leading her out of the living room. "You all can get something to eat while you watch TV or movies."
"Just be sure to clean up when you are done.", Shan Ying said as they left the room.
"We will.", Cornelia replied as Angelo finally unwrapped his wings to reveal him and Will still holding each other smiling.
They didn't notice the others at first. That is, until they heard Taranee clear her throat. Both turned to see the others looking at them. All with big old grins on their faces. Realising they were busted, Angelo decided to do what he does best.
Be himself.
"Okay, okay. So we got together!", Angelo said holding Will's hand. "Is that a problem?"
"No! No problem at all.", Malcom said as the others shook their heads smiling.
"Just want to know if you seen any flying chickens.", Leonas laughed, causing Malcom to laugh as well.
"Ha, ha. Very funny.", Angelo said. "You've made your point. Anything's possible."
"All I wanted to hear.", Malcom said.
"So, who's up for watching some movies?!", Sam asked as he and Hay Lin were holding some movies in their hands.
"Hey!", Hay Lin said after figuring something out. "If you boys put the first letters of your names together, you get S.L.A.M.M.!"
"S.L.A.M.M., huh?", Sam questioned. "I like it!"
"Of course you do!", Malcom said. "She your girlfriend!"
"I still like it.", Sam said wrapping his arms around Hay Lin from behind.
Hay Lin then stuck out her tongue playfully at Malcom and Taranee, to which they both rolled their eyes grinning.
For the rest of the night, they all were watching movies, and having a good time. Soon, the couples all fell asleep holding each other. All happy to have one another. Later that night, James and Shan Ying came downstairs to get a bite to eat. They walked pass the living room to see the young couples, wrapped up in blankets, asleep together.
"Look, James.", Shan Ying said happily. "They all look so happy, now that they're with the ones they care for."
"And it only took them a week to do it.", James grinned. "I guess the heart wants what the heart wants."
"Let's leave them be.", Shan Ying suggested. "After all that's happened to them, they deserve this."
"I believe you're right.", James said as they made their way to the kitchen.
They then got a quick bite to eat and headed back upstairs to get some sleep of their own. So far, things were going good and peaceful for the young heroes. But as time will tell, sometimes, you got to fight for peace and happiness.
A month later...........
In another reality, a young man is flying in the air searching for someone. Someone he loves dearly. As he searches, he begin to lose hope of finding her. Suddenly, a figure appears in front of them, forcing him to land.
"Who are you?!", the young man demands. "And what do you want?!"
"Now, now, Cole Angelheart.", the cloaked figure said. "Is that anyway to talk to somebody, who knows where your precious Will is?"
"Where is she?!", Cole asked.
"She's is not in this reality.", the cloaked figure said. "But, in another one. One where she is brainwashed into believing she belongs there."
"Show me to this reality, so I may get her back!", Cole demanded.
"Will you go on your own?", the cloaked man asked.
"No he won't!"
Just then the Guardians of that reality landed next to Cole.
"Like Irma said, I won't be going alone.", Cole said.
"I see that you Guardians are still in your transformed states.", the cloaked figure said. "You'll need them for who your going against."
"What do you mean?", Cornelia asked.
"You'll see when you get there.", the cloaked figure said as he opened a fold. "This fold will take you to where Will is."
"Why are you helping us?", Taranee asked the cloaked figure.
"I just want to make sure the cosmic order is put right.", the cloaked figure said. "So please go, and get you friend back. And take this gem.", he said as he handed Cole a yellow gem. "It will glow when you are close to your Will."
"Thank you.", Hay Lin said as they went through the fold.
Once they went through the fold, the cloaked figure closed it.
"Yes.", the cloaked figure said. "Go, fools! Go and bring me their Keeper of the Heart, so I can add her to my collection, with your Will."
The cloaked figure then pulled out a crystal ball that had that worlds Will in it banging against the glass.
"Let me out!", Will demanded.
"Do not worry, little Guardian.", the cloaked figure said as he held the crystal ball up to his face, causing Will to turn and face him. "You still have your part to do."
"You'll never get away with this!", Will yelled. "Cole and the others will come back for me!"
"Not while they're fighting the Guardians of the world they're going to.", the cloaked figure said. "Once they capture the Will there, I'll take her and use you both for my plans! Now let us go shall we. There is much work to be done. The other five, there must be taken care of."
The cloaked figure then opened another fold and walked through it.
"Soon master, you shall be free.", the cloaked figure said as the fold closed behind them. "Mwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
Disclaimer: I do not own the character Cole Angelheart he belongs to DREAMCOLE. Who I thank for letting me use.
A/N: Well, Will and Angelo are together, and everybody is happy. But what about this cloaked guy? Why does he want two Keepers of the Heart? Is he the threat the Oracle warned the Guardians and Vanders about? Who's this Cole guy? And what's going to happen when they meet our heroes? Things just got exciting!
