Welcome again my readers-who-were-thrown-off-by-the-previous-chapter! But go on with this part! And I am accepting any ideas for this story or any other stories that you guys have in your heads and don’t want to write down or share. I will share them for your relief. I am also taking any comments or insults on the part about having the story broken up into parts. (I just know I will get some insults from that.) But on with the text!

Cornelia kept running on the trail that her car had followed. She was sure that the car stayed on only this trail, not any other. And she figured that if she followed it, she could get to Heatherfield and save Caleb.

She brushed away a branch, exhausted.

Then suddenly, she wasn’t in the forest anymore. She was in a field, a plain.

She heard the sound of a copter whirring. Where was that from?

Three figures emerged to the right of her. They were running.

As they got closer, Cornelia saw purple and turquoise on person, purple and blue on another, and black on another.

As they got even more close, Cornelia saw that on a Guardian outfit, first recognized as purple and turquoise, was red hair. Only to be recognized as...

“Will!” Cornelia blasted out in shock.

“No time, the copters are being sent out for me!” Will explained.

Cornelia ran alongside. “Where are you going?” she asked between breaths.

“Heatherfield,” Will gasped.

“Who is this stranger you are talking to?” some girl asked.

“Cornelia, meet Starfire,” Will said. “She is from the Teen Titans.”

“And her?” Cornelia questioned.

“That’s Raven,” Will said. “Also from the Teen Titans.”

“Who or what are the Teen Titans?” Cornelia asked.

“Um...heroes?” Will replied.

“For what? Nothing?” Cornelia rolled her eyes. She didn’t trust them. She still didn’t know who the Teen Titans were. And why did Will go and make friends with them? Not to mention that Will brought them along with her.

“Come with us,” Will suggested.

“I don’t trust them,” Cornelia whispered into Will’s ear, careful not to hurt their feelings.

“Then trust me!” Will shot back. “They are friends, not enemies!”

“Maybe now, not later,” Cornelia mentioned.

“The only thing to worry about me,” Raven said. “is that I’m a demon’s daughter.”

“How–?” Will began.

“The mind does many complex things, doesn’t it?” Raven interrupted.

“See? Cornelia said. Will couldn’t understand that Raven and Starfire couldn’t be trusted.

Will shrugged.

“I’m not coming with you to Heatherfield if Raven and Starfire are with you,”Cornelia said out loud. Cornelia saw the look of nervousness on Will’s face.

“Please Cornelia, it’s dangerous when you’re alone,” Will pleaded.

“It’s more dangerous with copter’s, a demon’s daughter, and a girl who has orange skin! Cornelia raged. Couldn’t Will understand the trouble she was causing for all of them? “You’re just making more trouble, as always! Don’t you ever think about what you do?”

Will’s eyes were getting teary. But then, it stopped and Will’s eyebrows furrowed. “Cornelia, your head is a stone that won’t let any real facts in!” she said.

“Sometimes, it is good to stick up to your beliefs!” Cornelia replied.

“Sometimes, it’s good to break the rock head!” Will pointed to her head.

“Sometimes, it is good to stop fighting,” Starfire clasped her hands together, pleadingly.

Cornelia looked at Starfire’s scared green eyes. She could feel the power of the earth working.

A root from a tree wrapped around Starfire’s neck.

“It’s rude to interrupt. There’s no reason to it,” Cornelia narrowed her eyes.

A physic power broke the root. “There are reasons for everything, but not all reasons are known,” Raven’s monotonous voice said, with a tint of anger in her tone.

“Cornelia, stop!” Will snapped back into her regular clothes and dived into the heart of the whole fight, unnecessarily.

“Morning hunters!” a man with a rifle said.

“Hunters? Oh cool, I have a shotgun in my hands! It’s invisible!” Raven sarcastically said.

“Yeah, your friend over there is wearing hunter orange. Or maybe you aren’t hunters,” the man scratched his bald head. “You look familiar. I think you were on the newspaper front cover.”

Will felt a stroke of danger.

“Oh yeah, you are missing! Your mother was willing to pay millions for you!” the man continued. Then he ran suddenly to Will.

Will said, “Uh, good-bye?” She waved nervously. Then a rush of wind told the man that the girl and her companions had run away from him.

“Hey wait! I could make millions with you!” the man ran after them, with no use.

Cornelia had cooled down from her state. Will and her transformed into their Guardian outfits, so they could fly.

The four flew in silence until night fall. The helicopters were out again, probably motivated since the hunter told them where the missing girl was.

Up ahead were the mountains.

And that was just the beginning.

They were only one fourth of the way to Heatherfield.

Typing on the laptop is so weird. But fortunately, I can still type at the same speed.
