Guardians

"In Trouble" The story begins... in the middle? Not really! Join us as we take a look at two unlikely heroes that have been thrown into pits of an ugly cold dungeon. Why are they there? Who ARE they? Captivated? Please R&R, thank you!

Next chapter: what will the truth serum do to Rose? Who are the Brethren, anyway? And why do they want two teenagers like THEM??? Suspenseful, isn't it?

Finally we find out why they want Rose and her friend. A little hysterical at first (hey, if you were going to face the most powerful dark wizard in the world in a moment or two, you'd be hysterical too), but the guy comes through in the end.

Darkness and Prophecy" The leader of the Brethren has finally arrived, and he has a small proposition for our two young heroes. A nail-biting dilemna, a silencing charm, and cold gray eyes just add to the fun. Intrigued? Please R&R!

"Birds of a Feather" Is there an actual glimmer of hope for our teenage champions? Could they actually be able to escape the clutches of the Brethren? To find out (and to figure out the unusual title name), please R&R! Thanks!

"Mirage" In which we find a battle of not only spells, but wits! A fight to the death? Not really, but smashing into walls can really hurt! For more information, please dial 1 now, or you can simply R&R, please. Thank you!

"Wink!" A figure from the past (don't really worry if you haven't read SS/PS yet) pops up, and a new spell is invented. A startling change of scenery only adds to the adventure! I'm not giving out any more clues; you'll have to R&R for yourself! Thanks!

"A New Day" Turns out that one of our characters has another side to his/herself... A long monologue, but sit tight, it's a good story (at least in my opinion)! Warning: involves the butchering of the Italian language and an alley cat. Please R&R, thank you!

"Make New Friends, but Keep the Old" A new (old???) character joins the party, but who is he/she, really? Involves a very loud argument, a grumpy goblin, and a place called the Red Tomato. Stay tuned, and R&R!

And now back to "Days of Our Lives"... oops, wrong channel. Anyway, this is a whole lot better! So Kari, Anonimo, and Rose have finally eluded the Brethren? Yeah, right! Maybe on a different planet, but this is the Brethren we're talking about! Not one, but TWO mysterious notes, and disappearing objects! Warning: may be too mysterious for those with a weak constitution (hehehe).

"Plans"- A short and sweet chapter (maybe not for the characters, but for me it is!). Now they have to decide what they're going to do: how are they going to hike across Europe from Italy to England by noon tomorrow? Luckily they have some sharp minds! Too bad the Knight Bus only runs at night, and only over land... R&R, please!

"High Noon"- My, how TIME flies! There's some high tension here! Rose and Anonimo don't have much TIME left... will they be able to make it in TIME to Big Ben? Guess what? It's TIME to R&R!

"Mission: Impossible?"- Now that they've gotten their first mission, is it something that they can handle? Rose, Anonimo, Kari, and Lupin have to figure that out... but things are more than what they seem...

"The Galleon Sword"- Rose and Anonimo have finally gotten in... but have they forgotten about something? Maybe Kari's last-minute throw-in WILL come in handy after all. Warning: may contain magic without the use of a wand and a sword that is more than what it seems... ("...a diamond in the rough." Ok, enough of quoting Aladdin, thanks Disney)

This chapter is actually a combination of two chapters:

Chapter "17" "The Palace Royale"- Wow, is this an interesting chapter! A fair warning to all: involves bad French accents, even worse jokes, and a bowling alley. Please R&R, thank you (or more appropriately, merci beaucoup!)

Chapter 18: "A New Deal"- And no, I don't mean the poker kind of deal, that comes later, hehehe. Wanted to know whatever happened to Anonimo? So did I. I put in a cameo part for him in the end; don't worry, he's not dead (heavens forbid, my poor boy! Don't worry, Anonimo, they were just kidding when they said that...) Anyway, Rose is trying to get over her shock of finding out that... well, read the story and find out for her! Hehehe, if you've read the books, then you probably already know. Oh well! R&R, as usual, please!

Chapter 19: "A Change of Scenery"- Literally! A warning to all those with back problems, gaming addictions, and people who have problems with alcohol: this chapter contains turbulence, a deck of cards, and hangovers. Read (and review!) at your own risk. The author of this story does not take any responsibility for causing extreme ecstacy in her #1 fan for putting up a new chapter.

"Sweet Home, Chicago"- Two new characters! (one of them based on real life, hehehe) I even invented a new gadget, based on French, bien sur! Welcome to Chicago, where rumors, movies, and flirtations fluorish!

"At the Movies"- Here's an interesting little chapter! Another friend IRL joins the support cast, you can really tell I wrote this a while ago, and... love abounds??? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of... Guardians: Return of the Jedi! Just kidding, you'll understand when you read it!

Chapter 22: "Bricks and Carnations"- Remember the Girl Scout (ok, Boy Scout, too) motto: "Be prepared!" That’s exactly what Rose, Kari, and Anonimo have to do as they get ready for their next mission… *click* And now the weather: it will be sunny today with a chance of flowers and scattered accents. Tonight will be dark and mysterious, perfect for breaking into high-security warehouses! *click* You heard her! Don’t forget, we’re working on our new badge. To complete it, you have to R&R. All right, then, let’s move out!

Chapter 24: "Interrogation"- 100% satisfaction guarantee! Lots of fun stuff happens here, but to sum it all up in one word, here it is: conundrum! Hehehe, I love cliff hangers! Oh, and if you aren’t completely satisfied, don’t complain, because this is MY story! Just kidding, but you can post your concerns, comments, and compliments (hint, hint) when you R&R!

Chapter 25: "A History Lesson"- Before you begin to read, reread the end of the last chapter: you know what’s coming next. That’s right, a long monologue! It’s important to the story, though, and I’ve tried to make it interesting. That said, lots of stuff is revealed, and two mysterious pieces of advice come into play… This is a chapter you don’t want to miss!

Chapter 26: “Early in the Morning”- When someone says that you can’t do something until it’s “absolutely necessary,” when can you do it? That’s the question of the day, even though Kari’s still complaining it’s too early to think… But it’s never too early (or too late, for that matter) to read and review!
