Chapter 1: Will's Bad Day

"Come on Will!", a young ten-year-old, African-American boy said to his red-headed friend. "Hurry up!"

"Wait up, Angelo!", the nine-year-old, red-headed girl said.

Both children were running through the woods of the Fadden Hills Park looking for their red ball that, Angelo kicked to far. Soon they found their ball near an old tree.

But they also found something else.

"What's that?!", Angelo asked as he and Will looked past the old tree.

Both children looked to see a bright circle of white and blue light floating in front of them.

"Wow!", Will said as she and Angelo got closer to it. "What is it?"

"I don't know.", Angelo said as he picked up a branch. "Let's try something."

Angelo then stuck the branch in the light and moved it around. He then pulled it out and saw that nothing happened to it.

"I wonder what happens if we go through it?", Angelo wondered as he got closer to it. "You wanna try, Will?"

"I don't know, Angelo.", Will said as she stepped back from it. "It looks a little scary."

"Oh, don't be such a baby!", Angelo said. "It's only light!"

"I'm not a baby!", Will yelled. "I just don't want to get in trouble."

"Fine!", Angelo said stepping forwad. "I'll go first, and you look on the other side of it."

"Okay.", Will said as she went around the thing of light. "Okay! Ready!"

"Here goes!", Angelo said as he ran through the light.

Will stood and waited for Angelo to run through the other side of the light. But he didn't come through.

"Angelo?", Will called as she went back around the thing of light. "Where are you?"

Will then saw the thing of light slowly disappear.

"Angelo come back!", Will yelled as the thing of light continued to fade away.

"Stay back Will!", came Angelo's voice through the thing of light. "Don't come..."

The thing of light then disappear from the area. Will looked around and saw nothing but the ball they were playing with. She picked up the ball and looked at their initials that were written on it.

A.V.-W.V

Will then dropped to her knees and began to cry.

"Angelo, come back!", Will cried as she held onto the ball tightly. "Angelo! ANGELO!"

"Angelo!", a sixteen year old Will Vandom screamed as she woke up from her nightmare.

"Ms. Vandom!"

Will looked up to see her math teacher standing at her desk. Some of the other students were looking oddly at Will, while others were laughing.

"Um... Sorry, Mrs. Jones.", Will apologized.

"What am I going to do with you, Will?", Mrs. Jones questioned as she rubbed her temples. "This is the thrid time this week you fell asleep in my class."

"I've had a few long nights.", Will said. "Had trouble sleeping."

Signing, Mrs. Jones walked back up to the board to continue her lesson. Will looked over to her friend, and fellow Guardian, Taranee.

'Are you okay, Will?', Taranee asked her friend mentally.

'Honestly, no.', Will replied. 'I've been having this same nightmare for the last few nights. This is the first time I've had it during school.'

'Whatever it was about, I can feel your fear from it.', the African-American girl mentally said. 'Maybe you just need a good night's sleep.'

'You're probably right.', Will said as they went back to listening to Mrs. Jones' lesson.

Once school ended, Will and her friends, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin were walking out of the school, when Will saw her mother, Susan standing beside her car, waiting for her.

"Oh boy!", Will said as they approched her mom. "Hey, Mom. What's up?"

"Car! Now!", Susan said as she walked over to the driver's side of her car.

No words were said as the car drove off, leaving the others standing there wondering what was going on.

"Anybody know what's going on?", Hay Lin asked.

"No idea.", Cornelia replied as they made their way to the Silver Dragon. "But I don't think Will's coming to the Silver Dragon."

"What was your first clue, Corny?", Irma asked.

"Don't call me Corny!", Cornelia snapped.

"Guys stop!", Taranee said as they continued walking. "I'm really worried about Will."

"What's wrong with her?", Hay Lin asked.

"Well today, she fell asleep in math class today and had some kind of nightmare.", Taranee explained. "I don't know what it was about, but it involved someone named Angelo."

"We can ask her about it later.", Cornelia said as they turned the corner. "Right now we have to meet up with Caleb at the Silver Dragon."

Moments later, at the Vandom's home, things weren't going so well for Will.

"Three times, Will?!", Susan asked her daughter. "You fell asleep three times in your math class?! And your only excuse was that you've had trouble sleeping?!"

"Well,it's the truth!", Will said sitting down on the couch. "I've been having the nightmares... about Angelo again."

"That's no excuse, Will!", Susan said. "I miss Angelo too. And I know he was one of your best friends..."

"Is! He "IS" one of my best friends!", Will said looking up at her mom. "They never found a body! He's alive somewhere. I just know it!"

"That's besides the fact, Will!", Susan said. "Until you do better in your classes, you will not be going out, to hang with your friends!"

"But Mom!"

"No buts!", Susan said. "Now go and clean up your room!"

Grumbling to herself, Will stomped off to her room. Once she heard the the bedroom door slam, Susan finally sat on the couch, breathing a sign of relief. She then looked down at one of the pictures on the coffee table. Picking it up, she couldn't help but smile at what she was looking at. It was of Will when she was nine, and of one of her best friends, Angelo Vanders, when he was ten. She remembers when Angelo went missing. The long search parties, the nights of Will crying herself to sleep. But the strangest thing she remembers was the story Will told the police of Angelo running through a strange thing of light.

"Why now of all times?", Susan questioned as she put the picture back on the coffee table.

Deciding to go talk to Will about her nightmare, Susan went to her daughter's bedroom. But when she opened the door she was gone. She then saw that the window was open.

'That's the last straw!', she thought to herself.

At the Silver Dragon basement...

"The Drakken kingdom?", Taranee asked Caleb after he told them why he needed to meet them.

"Yeah.", Caleb replied as he sat in a chair. "It was one of the few kingdoms that was ruled buy one of Phobos' generals. He was overthrown about a few months after Phobos' defeat."

"So that's good, right?", Cornelia asked.

"It would be, if the new ruler wasn't trying to get the support of the other kingdoms to start a high council of royals.", Caleb replied.

"A high council of royals?", Hay Lin asked. "How many kingdoms are there in Metamoor?"

"There's quite a few.", Caleb said. "And this, Warrior King, is bringing all of them together. All but, Meridian."

"You think he's up to something?", Matt asked.

"It's a strong possibilty.", Caleb replied. "Elyon asked me to see if you all would come with me to the Drakken Kingdom to find out his true intentions."

"We'll have to tell Will about this.", Irma said grabbing her jacket. "She called and said she was on her way here. I'll go meet her outside."

"I'll go with you.", Matt said as they both went out the door leading to the ally.

"So what do we do about our parents?", Taranee asked.

"You do have the Breath of Time.", Yan Lin replied as Cornelia pulled out a small tear shaped hourglass hanging from a chain on her neck. "You can use it to freeze time here on Earth, while you go to Metamoor. And seeing as tomorrow's Saturday, you'll have extra time to do what you need to do. I suggest you use it on Monday."

"Good idea.", Caleb said. "It'll take at least a week to get to the Drakken Kingdom from Meridian."

"Well that's settled.", Cornelia said. "Now we just have to wait for Will to get..."

"How could you?!"

"Was that Will?", Hay Lin asked as she walked out the door leading to the ally.

Once Hay Lin got outside, she saw Will turning around the corner from the ally, running. She then looked to see Irma and Matt standing really close together.

"What just happened?!", Hay Lin demanded.

About thirty minutes later, Will snuck back into her room through the fire escape.

"Did you have fun?"

Will looked to see her mom sitting on her bed, not looking to happy.

"Mom!", Will exclaimed. "I can explained!"

"Don't bother!", Susan said standing up. "First, the sleeping in school! Now you're sneaking out! What's going on with you, Will?!"

"I'm sorry Mom!", Will said as she held her head down. "It won't happen again."

"Oh, I know it won't!", Susan confirmed. "Because I'm sending you to back to Fadden Hills, to live with your grandmother!"

"What!?", Will yelled snapping her head up. "You can't do that!"

"You leave me no choice Will!", Susan said. "Sneaking out like this, was the last straw!"

Susan then walked out of Will bedroom. As the door closed, Will flopped down on her bed. She then buried her face in her pillows crying. Outside her bedroom, Susan could hear her daughter crying.

'I'm sorry, Will.', she thought to herself. 'But, you leave me no choice.'

Susan then went to her bedroom for some rest.

"I wish I was somewhere else!", Will cried in her pillow. "I wish I didn't have to deal with all this!"

Meanwhile, in a castle somewhere in Metamoor, a seventeen year old dark-skinned boy was watching what just happened to the young Keeper of the Heart, through a small mirror with a white gem incrested in it. With a sad face, he wave his hand over it, making the image disappear. He then turned to two people that were there with him.

One of them was a young dark-skinned female with black hair and brown eyes, dressed in brown boots pants and shirt, with a bow at her back with a quiver full of arrows, and a short sword strapped to her belt. The other was a young male with brown wings, brown hair and blue eyes, dressed in brown boots, black pants and a blue toga with a bo staff strapped to his back.

"Selece. Falco.", the dark-skinned boy said facing the two other people. "You know what to do."

"Yes, your majesty.", the two said bowing to him.

"We go get the girl, and bring her here.", Falco the winged man said.

"And bring some of her things here as well.", Selece added with a smile. "We shall not fail you."

Both then walked out of the room, to leave their king with his thoughts.

'Am I doing the right thing?', the young ruler thought to himself. 'I hope I am.'
