Chapter 2
Rose shook her head while smiling to herself. Trakko was always such
a goof off. He was trying to bake dinner for her in the Warner's kitchen,
having very bad results.
"Ahhh!! Erm... don't worry Rose! I have everything under control!" she
heard from the other room. She rolled her eyes, sure you do Trakko, sure
you do, she thought. Then a strange kaboom noise from the kitchen made her
wince. The Warners weren't gonna like this when they got home. She stood up
and walked into the kitchen to see Trakko sitting on the floor, his legs
apart and a bunch of sauce and other random food items all over his body.
Rose felt herself smile, but quickly covered it with her right hand.
Trakko saw her and smiled sheepishly. "Hey sis, er.. want some
spaghetti?" he then promptly pulled some from his head and offered it to
her. Rose merely raised an eyebrow and gave him a expression of, "Are you
kidding?"
"Look on the bright side sis, now we can order out while we clean up
this mess!"
Rose held up a sign saying, "Sure, you clean while I order a pizza."
"Aw man! I always have to clean!"
She gave him a pouty look then held up another sign, "I didn't cause
this mess, besides, you are the fastest runner around. This should take you
only a couple seconds!" With that, she walked out to order that pizza.
"Yeah well my powers aren't meant to be a cleaning boy." Trakko
muttered cleaning up the place in super speed.
After Rose was done phoning the pizza, she went to check on how
Trakko was doing, it seems he had already finished and was sitting on the
couch in the main room watching TV. She sat down next to her brother lost
in thought. She was really glad that the Warners, Yakko, Wakko and Dot let
them stay there with them. But she sometimes wondered if that maybe they
were bothering them sometimes. We just gave Yakko two extra mouths to feed.
She thought glumly. But there is no other place for us to go, were orphans.
But they are too. The Warners had gone out to see a movie tonight so they
could help Yakko stop thinking about.. her.
Cassie. Rose bit her lower lip in frustration. Yakko's good friend
and probably lover was now gone. A band of evil creatures called the
Witches Council kidnapped her weeks ago. Yakko was taking it very hard, and
although after the experience with Magician Mayhem, he seemed better, they
all knew that no one could replace her. What was also strange is, after she
disappeared, Rose began to have major bad dreams about someone trapped in a
strange area, and that person was tortured both mentally and physically.
Rose wondered if the person was Cassie. She closed her eyes. If she told
Yakko what she thought he would be devastated, besides they didn't know if
it really was her. In fact they would never know. Cassie's captors had
disappeared with her into space. Unless they found a space ship somehow,
they were unable to do anything.
Rose's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the doorbell. She
blinked.
"Wow those pizza guys are fast!" Trakko commented.
Rose stood up and started walking towards the door. She frowned a
little. She knew the pizza would be there fast, but two minutes? No one
usually delivers pizza that fast. She opened the door to the tower and
looked out as the crisp night air brushed against her fur and blonde hair.
She blinked when she saw no one at eye length with a pizza. Her gaze
shifted downward and her mouth dropped open.
There lying on the ground was a little Warner child wrapped in a blue
blanket.
A few minutes before....
She panted hard, thinking of what to do as she neared the tower, she
had to find sanctuary for her child. She couldn't let the evil man get his
hands on her again! She looked down at the young child's face. She was
sleeping and a piece of her long silver hair hung loose from the side of
her head, reflecting the moonlight.
Way behind them was a strange man wearing a scientist's coat. Two
large men followed him, all of them looking tired but kept moving. They
couldn't let the experiments get away.
"Da, boss?" said one of the large men running.
"What is it?" the boss asked, annoyed.
"Why do you need those creatures so bad?"
The boss was almost getting angry, but held it inside and took a deep
breath. "Because nimrod! Apollonia and her child are very important to our
experiment, besides you don't want them blabbing where our hideout is do
you?" He glared at his henchmen. They quickly nodded and all three ran
faster.
Apollonia was finally at the top of the tower. She quickly looked
around her shoulder and heard the men coming for her. She gasped, then
looked at her child. Then behind her. She closed her eyes, making a very
hard choice. Finally she opened them, some tears falling from her eyes. She
put her daughter down near the entrance of the tower, then rang the
doorbell and ran towards the evil men. She had no choice; it was the only
way up or down. She had time to see the door to the tower open and strange
like creature, much like her and her daughter, blinked and looked out, then
look down and saw her daughter. She was grabbed just when she saw the girls
features turn from confusion to absolute surprise.
"Take care my daughter" Apollonia whispered, being drug away from the
tower. "I will be back for you."
Rose shook her head while smiling to herself. Trakko was always such
