Chapter 12: From defeat's sadness
"Mom, dad Clea is gone!"
"What!" Steve yelled rising from his seat in shock.
"My poor baby, we gotta find her." Josie said
"We should all spilt up" Steve said leaving, then everyone else left in search of Clea.
The first place Will looked was the Paper Lantern.
"Warren!"
"What now." Warren said to himself rolling his eyes.
"Where's Clea!"
"What?"
"You heard me, Where's Clea?"
"Why are you even talking to me." "And I don't even know where she is, and what do you mean by 'where's Clea?' isn't she with you?"
"No. She's missing, she ran away not too long ago."
"We have to find her."
"Why would you care, you're the reason she ran away, you really broke her heart, and who knows how we are going to find her if she is invisible again?"
Warren backed him into the wall and ignited his hand "Listen, I'm not going to say anything more than, Gwen made up some wacked up story about I liking her, and told Clea and now she's mad at me, but I hate Gwen as much as I hate you, so let's find Clea before she does something stupid, Got it!"
"Got it."
Warren took off his working apron and left out the door to find Clea.
With Clea, late in the night
"I'm cold, tired, weak, alone, and I have no place to go." Clea said sitting down on the sidewalk.
Lash happened to pass by, coming from a party at his friends, he stopped as soon as he saw her.
"Clea?"
Clea immediately turned away as he sat down beside her.
"What's wrong babe?"
"You don't care anyway, so can you just please leave me alone."
"Clea you're shaking."
"Lash, if you're hear to torture me, I'm already torture, right now I just want to be alone."
"You know you don't want to." "You'd rather be at home, nice and warm, with your family."
"Why do you even care?"
"Because I don't' like to see you sad."
"You? You tried to kill me!"
"I'm sorry, I was just really really angry."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"My parents split."
"I'm sorry, you must be really having a bad time."
"I am." "I think it's my fault."
"Lash, I know you're angry, but you shouldn't blame yourself because of your parents' decision."
"I wish it was that easy." "Why are you out here?"
"When you know you like somebody, and they don't even care about your feelings, so they crush your heart."
"I know how you feel." "I really like you." He said hugging her. "And I hope you can forgive me for hurting you."
Tears came to Clea's eyes again.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, thanks Lash." She said wiping her tears away before she disappeared.
"No Prob." He smiled "How about I take you home?"
"Ok."
At the Stronghold's
"Thanks Lash"
"It's my pleasure."
"Bye." Clea said opening the door.
"Bye."
Then she went inside, then came out like about 5 seconds later and hugged him.
"We are only friends."
"We're friends."
"You can be a little rough, well rough, but you can be sweet at times."
He blushed slightly "Good night Clea, and try not to run away again.
"Good night Lash, I won't, don't worry."
Clea watched Lash leave then she went inside.
"Mom, Dad, Will?" she shouted, but their was no answer. She searched the whole house but no one was there, then she went to her room awaiting their return.
Her bedroom door suddenly slammed close, and to her surprise it was Warren.
"What are you doing here?"
"Looking for you."
"What?"
"You ran away, everyone went out looking for you."
"You still didn't answer my question, what are you doing here?"
"I knew you'd come back, so I waited here."
"Where are my parents and Will."
"Out looking for you."
Clea went to the window to climb down the ladder, but as usual, Warren stopped her and looked deeply into her eyes.
"Clea, believe me, I don't like Gwen, I never liked her, and I never will, I don't know what she said to you, it's not true, and I don't want to lose you because of that."
That moment, he means what he said, she knew it by the looked into her eyes with sincerity, she then believed him.
"I believe you Warren, and I always will."
Then he hugged her "I'm glad you're safe."
She smiles.
(BANG!)
"Clea!" Steve said angrily when he saw Warren in her room. "What are you doing!"
"Get away from her!" Josie yelled as she pulled her daughter close to her and hugged her. "Sweetie are you okay?" Clea was silent as she looked at Warren.
Will came into the room. "Yes!"
Warren glared at him, and became heated.
"What did you do to her, you… you.. juvenile delinquent!" Steve yelled at him.
"Stop yelling at him!" Clea shouted back at her father.
Josie gasped.
"You two should not call him that, yes he is your archenemy's son, and so you think he's just like him, but he's not, he's caring, quiet, kind and sensitive, but you won't be able to realixe this in him because all of you are always thinking of him as the worst person on this earth, and I don't appreciate you being so unfair."
"I'm going to hold my temper, but we will talk about this later." Josie said calming down.
"You are going to get in big trouble Clea. If they only came e…" Will said slyly then stop the end of the sentence quickly.
"YOU! You set me up! Will how could you?"
" Will go to your room, and as for you, Clea you're grounded."
"Mom?"
"What Clea." Josie said looking back annoyed at her daughter.
"I am in my room, and unfortunately so are all of you, and I would certainly appreciate it if you would all just leave me alone and GET OUT!" Clea yelled as she slammed the door angrily as she rolled her eyes, then looked innocently at Warren.
"I'm sorry Warren."
"I wouldn't think you would stand up to your parents, standing up for me, it caused yourself getting grounded."
Clea went over to him, and hugged him assuring him that she would stand up for him anytime as she calmed down.
"Believe it or not, we have more in common than we think, opposites attract." Warren said.
She then whispered something in his ear softly which made him smirk then leave out the window smiling with shades of red flushing his cheeks.
About an hour later
She logged unto AIM.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"How are you?"
"I'm great."
"I'm glad to hear that." smiles
smiles back and huggles her
" I gotta go now."
"Oh ok, Bye."
"Bye."
At dinner everyone was silent as they ate, so they had a peaceful meal until…
"I'm not hungry anymore." Will said slamming the napkin down on the table and going upstairs.
"I'm not hungry either." Clea said annoyed by everyone and furiously stormed upstairs to Will's room, then she leaned on his wall before entering.
"Don't you ever knock?"
"You enjoy torturing, and making my life miserable don't you?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You set me up, you knew what was going to happen, and you knew that mom and dad would ban me from seeing Warren again, so you just had to call them the moment I was home, am I right?"
"Everyone wants you to stop seeing Warren, yes, I called them because you came home,.. And Warren's bad news."
"The people I see is none of your business, so just stay out of my life!" Clea yelled as she stormed out of his room trying hard not to cry, but the thought of her being treated by her parents, Will was always the preferred one, after all he saw the secret sanctum first, they told Clea that her grandmother had her power, so it wasn't of much secret sanctum material because it came on and off and she couldn't control it, she couldn't help but lock herself in her room and cry.
At school the next day
At hero class
"Warren, you'll be paired with Ms. Stronghold for today, but as of tomorrow you'll be paired with Will."
Clea glared at Will knowing that it was her parents and his doing, then she looked at the teacher sadly, then at Warren.
They both got up and went to the back desk where they first met each other with an expression of defeat on there faces, they couldn't do anything anymore, this was the end.
"Warren. I'm so sorry."
Warren looked at her with a look of assurance as he held her hand. "It's going to be okay Clea."
Clea smiled at him then was rudely interrupted by none other than…
"You're not suppose to be talking to him."
"You're not suppose to be talking to me."
Warren glared at Will then calmed down for the sake of Clea being there.
"Will can you just leave us alone, this has to be the last time I ever get to see him again, and I really don't want our relationship to end, plz Will, just this once." She cried sadly as a tear ran down her cheek, as usual Will wanted to say no, but s much as he wanted to he couldn't, he never liked to see her cry, he'd normally have guilt running through his body, so he didn't.
"This is the last time."
"Thank you." She said gleaming
"Whatever."
"I have just been informed that the teachers have an emergency meeting, so please sit quietly until lunch time." Mr. Medulla said exiting the classroom.
Everyone immediately started talking.
"Warren, I'll talk to you at lunch."
"I want to talk to you too."
"None of you are talking to each other, I'm just being nice by letting you even sit beside each other."
"You were never nice to me Will, unless I was hurt and you didn't want to get in trouble with Mom or Dad."
"So?"
Clea rolled her eyes in annoyance then sighed.
"Warren let's talk now, outside." She said sadly thinking about not seeing him again, she held his hand and realized that she disappeared, and so did he, she leaded him outside. Will looked as if he could explode.
Clea and Warren walked down the hall then entered a nearby closet.
"It's over, I'll just see you around school, I'll never talk to you again, only if my parents and Will could only see what a great person you really are to me." Clea said sadly as she hugged him gently. They both became visible.
"Clea, don't cry, whatever happens, between us, it'll be okay, trust me, I'll make sure of it." He said hugging her equally then kissing her forehead gently.
"See you at lunch?"
"I'll be there. Don't worry." He said smiling, then opening the door for her. Then both of them went back to their class.
Everyone was talking as usual, and Gwen was showing Will how to make a ray, but as soon as Clea and Warren entered the class Will glared at Warren, and he glared back.
"I see Will wasn't lonely while we were gone."
"She thinks she's going to make me jealous."
"She tries too hard. Didn't you tell her you didn't like her."
"Yes, I did. But she didn't listen to me."
"She said you cannot hide from true love." Clea said looking at Will and Gwen then at Warren.
"Well that's one thing she said that made sense." Warren said laughing.
"Clea sit down!" Will yelled.
"Who are you to yell and demand."
"I'm older than you."
"Listen Will, I don't need you to tell me what to do, I liked you better when you were in sidekick class."
Everyone started staring at the two siblings argue, Will got up and walked over to Clea angrily.
" I don't care how you like me, I didn't get transferred here for the likes of you."
"I don't even know why I'm related to you."
"Well you are. Live with it."
"I don't have a problem with living with 'it', You are the problem I have living with!"
"Ok STOP!" Gwen shouted from across the room, then got up and stood in the middle of the two of them. "Ok, you two know you love each other as brother and sister, so you really shouldn't be fighting, so if you could please take it outside in an orderly fashion, you can continue. Thank You." (BELL RINGS) "And there's the bell for the second session I think."
Clea rolled her eyes as everyone went outside for the continuation of the fight.
"Clea, you weren't even suppose to talk to Warren because you know where he's from."
"Do not bring Warren into this Will, and I've said it, and I'll say it again, who I talk to is none of your business!" Clea shouted then she stormed up, but Will grabbed her hand.
"Your not going anywhere until you tell me you aren't going to see Warren again."
"She can go anywhere she wants jerk." Warren said backing Will into a wall forcefully.
Clea held Warren's hand which calmed him down as he looked at her and backed off will glaring at him, then Clea went face to face with Will. "Ok Will, I promise you aren't going to see Warren." Clea said sheepishly.
"You don't mean anything you say Clea."
"Yes I do."
"You don't" "Now…." Will said restraining her hands behind her back with his as he continued. "Say, I, Clea Stronghold, promises my brother, and parents that I will never talk or look at Warren Peace again."
"Why are you doing this to me!"
"Say it!"
"Warren help me!"
"Let her go Will!" he said furiously as his two hands ignited blazing fire red.
"I'm not afraid of you."
"You will be."
"Let her go Will." Lash said.
"Weren't you the one that tried to kill her! And you're telling me to let her go!"
"She has done nothing to you Will."
Will wasn't himself, he was jealous, really jealous, of his sister, Lash calmed Will down a little just long enough to trip him, Clea was invisible, so Will let her go pushing her into the lockers, and was about to hit Ethan, who was going to the nurse, but Ethan melted and Will went skidding and intentionally used that to his advantage and punched Warren who threw a hard core fireball, due to the fact that he had so much rage inside him, but it missed Will so it exploded the lockers. A scream was heard immediately after.
"Clea!" Warren yelled as he slammed Will into the wall.
