Carey and Fi burst into the room. They found Clu on the floor, partly buried by debris. They got it off him and found that he didn't even seem hurt. No bruises, no blood, nothing. He just looked like he was sleeping. Carey knelt down next to him, and realized he wasn't breathing. He checked for a pulse, but there was none. And there was nothing he could do about it. This realization made him let out a scream of agony that terrified Fi to the core. It also brought Jack and Annie running in, both very scared and very worried. Fi gently put her arm around Carey as he held on to Clu's lifeless body, scared but trying to help. She'd never seen Carey so devastated before, and that really, really scared her.
"What's wr…" Jack started to ask, his voice trailing off as he saw Clu lying there, Carey holding him. "Oh no" he said, as he began to cry. His best friend was dead. All because of some stupid idea. Annie saw this and hugged him, as she started to sob too.
"He's…he's…he's…dead" Carey stuttered, horrified and extremely sad, but trying no to cry. He had already let the younger kids down enough and he didn't want them to see him cry. Fi saw him struggling, through her own teary eyes, and hugged him. "Jack, Annie, go get my mom and dad. And Molly. If you can't find them, come back. Quick." Carey said.
"Sure", Annie and Jack sobbed out, before running off.
As soon as they were gone, Carey felt himself starting to break down, but stopped before he cried. He turned his attention back to Fi, hugging her and trying to comfort her, but it didn't work. He just wasn't into it. Everything had gone so horribly wrong. He'd failed his baby brother. And everyone else, including himself. Again. Because of him, his baby brother was dead. *Another brother gone; all because of me. Cause I was to stupid to protect them*
Suddenly, Clu started to glow. This kept on for a while. "What the…" Fi looked up from crying on Carey's chest at the sound of his voice, just in time to see Clu start becoming little rainbow-colored orbs, slowly disappearing.
"Oh my God" Fi said, sobbing once more. Again, Carey hugged her tightly as he looked at the spot where his brother had been, for once not thinking about how good she felt in his arms. Annie and Jack came back soon after, but without the parents. They found the other two just sitting there, looking at the spot where Clu no longer was.
"What happened to Clu? Where'd he go?" Jack asked, thinking that maybe Clu wasn't dead and it was just a joke.
"Jack, Clu disappeared. His body turned into little orbs and disappeared." Fi answered. Carey just kept looking at that place in shock.
"You're kidding Fi! That's not possible! That's just not possible.." Jack said, before breaking down and crying once more.
"That's what happened, I swear", Fi sobbed out, "We've gotta go tell the parents. Come on Carey." She slowly helped him up. He still hadn't said a word. He leaned on Fi as they walked back to the bus, short one member.
Meanwhile, a semi transparent image of a woman carrying a man could be seen in the distance. Looking closer, it was actually a pixie-like girl carrying Clu, watching the others walk away.
