Chapter 2
Cassie's pace quickened as she felt a certain chill in the air. She was walking around the lot and it was starting to get late. She felt so tired. But she didn't know if she could face any of the Warners right now. Zack and Yakko. Both boys she felt so drawn to. She closed her eyes, trying to think of a way to stop this from unfolding, she couldn't choose both. She had to choose. But why now? She was only 14! She didn't notice that she was wandering far off the lot, into Burbank.
Two figures followed Cassie throughout the lot, when they saw her exiting it, they both paused. "Look! She's going off the lot!" The male form said, pointing to her. The female form held up a sign, which read, " Yeah, I don't think it would be wise for her to do that, we have to stop her!" "But how can we without revealing ourselves?" the male form asked. The female form looked at the male form, then snapped her fingers and held up another sign. " Duh! You can run as fast as the wind! Knock her down!" The male form blushed. "Oh yeah, that's right I forgot I can run fairly fast.." He ran out and started to run as fast as his legs could carry him, finally he caught up with Cassie and knocked her down forcefully, then ran into a nearby building before she had time to get up and see who ran into her. When Cassie got up she glanced around for the person who shoved her. "That's odd." he or she was gone. She suddenly realized how far she had gone off the lot, she tensed. She was in the bad part of town. She quickly started to run back to the lot, when suddenly two gangster looking teenage boys got into her path, she gasped. "Well Well Well, look who ee got ere Bruno?" The fairly heavy looking boy with a black bandana on his head said. He looked around seventeen. His voice was also rough and since he didn't speak English that well, Cassie knew he wasn't educated. The other boy, who the other boy called Bruno looked at Cassie, his steel eyes looked through her, they were both human and Bruno was wearing a torn up black T shirt with blue jeans that had seen better days. The other boy wore a army green shirt with soiled black shorts. Cassie started to take a step backwards. The boy in the green shirt started to move towards Cassie in a dangerous looking manner. "C'mon Dakota, don't scare the poor thing." His English was better than Bruno's but his tone was not friendly, it was sarcastic. Cassie's eyes flashed around her, where could she go?! She looked from one direction, to the other, she finally saw a street, thinking other people would be there, she bolted for the street. Both boys got enraged and started to run after her. She heard them cursing her and calling her bad names. She closed her eyes and kept on running. She started to shout out for help. Hoping that anyone.ANYONE could hear her... Before she could even get one shout out, one of the boys grabbed her by her arms. She cried out as she was being pulled towards them. Bruno had grabbed her, one of his arms slipped around her waist, pinning her to him. The other hand he held one of her arms. She felt the feel of his breath on her neck and she shivered in disgust. "Let me go.." she ordered. " No way, a pretty girl like you should be taken care of.." His hand started to slide downward, Cassie closed her eyes. Suddenly there was a clang noise. She opened them quickly to find Burno's pal flattened. She smiled and looked up at one of the buildings, there was Yakko, Wakko and Dot. "Hey buddy.. Id let the nice girl go if I were you.." Yakko smirked, then jumped down onto the ground. Bruno was enraged. "This is none of yer business. Go away before Is get angry.." "Oh please, you can't even speak proper English, what can you possibly do to me. If you ask me you're just a bully, picking on little girls like that.." Sees Cassie glare when he said little, "That is, pretty little girls. I think you think you're all that just because you can grab an innocent girl from no where and do who knows what to her. I think you are so sick, you know that? You defiantly need to learn some manners you twisted, disturbed, bemused, self absorbed, uneducated freak!" By the time Bruno was able to process all of this he suddenly noticed Cassie was gone, While Yakko had be talking Wakko and Dot freed her and now all were behind Yakko. "Why you.." Bruno started. Yakko pointed upwards. Bruno looked and a house fell on top of him. His feet curled up under the house like what happened to the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz. "Thanks guys.." Cassie smiled. "What are you doing in this part of town anyway Cass?" Yakko looked at her sternly. " I was thinking and kind of didn't know where I was going." Cassie said. Yakko looked at his sibs. "C'mon we should head back to the tower." All four of them started back towards the lot. "How did you find me?" Cassie asked Yakko. " I really don't know, I could suddenly hear you inside my head, it was really strange, I heard you crying for help. So I told my sibs we needed to take a detour, and here we are. I'm glad that guy didn't get any further though."
" I am too.." Cassie hugged Yakko. He smiled and hugged her back. When they got to the tower they all went their separate ways. Dot went to her room to read, Wakko went to build another Gizmo and Yakko and Cassie went into Cassie's room to talk. Yakko sat down on the bed next to Cassie. "Cassie.. I." he started but Cassie cut him off. "Yakko, I think I am in love with you.." Yakko's jaw nearly dropped. "Well.I..uhh.."
Cassie smirked. "Why did I leave the great Yakko Warner speechless?" "Erm.. No it's just that.." "You weren't expecting that?" Cassie finished. "Yeah." He looked at her and suddenly put his arm around her shoulders. She blinked and looked at him. He looked directly into her eyes, suddenly Cassie felt her other arm move toward Yakkos outer shoulder and she got closer to Yakko, until they both began to kiss. The kiss began to get deeper when all of a sudden a invisible force pulled them apart.
