Chapter 6
It was Clara's first day at Casper high. But she didn't enjoy it as much as she would have liked. When walking in and being introduced by lancer, all the guys stared. It was very embarrassing because for the rest of the day guys were saying hi and how are you and what's up and do you want my number. She didn't talk to Danny though. I mean what kind of meeting after not seeing each other for so long is that? Besides the fact something had happened to him, just what was wrong? It was like there was a cloud between them, like a fog. What happened to the relationship they had shared on the camping trip? It was all gone, just gone. When lunch rolled around Clara pulled Danny aside to a different table, despite that had left Sam and Tucker clueless.
"Hey um…I just wanted to, I was just, you know…" Clara started to say as she opened her low fat yogurt. "What is bothering you Clara?" asked Danny. "What is the matter with you?" Clara responded a little too loudly. "What I meant was, that night with the box ghost and everything, this is what me and Jason found after you had left, (she held out the spray can) and just, something happened to you, and I'm afraid that Vlad Plasmius is behind it all." She said feeling a little guilty for the outburst of rudeness. Clarastared at the red can with the Dlav markings on it. "Nothing is wrong I feel fine." Said Danny. "I know, but that night it was your eyes…they were reddish." "I don't see what you mean my eyes are fine." "They might be now, but they weren't last night." Danny opened a plastic container revealing a salad. He poked his fork around and they continued to talk, "I believe you Clara, but things have happened like this before, like control freak you should've seen that…" Clara interrupted Danny "But 'I' didn't, I wasn't there I don't know what happened, Danny this is serious, something is up with that spray, it could be more than mind controlling. It could be more than that, my friend Jason and…." Danny interrupted Clara, "Who is he, does he know about you and me or…" Clara interrupted Danny once more. "He's like Sam and Tucker are to you, he knows and I can trust him to keep our secret." "What secret?" said a girly voice behind them, Clara turned to face the Popular QB/ witch, Palina, and falsely smiled. "How long were you standing there?" asked Danny, "Long enough to know you two have a secret." Clara sighed with relief that she hadn't heard anything else. "Oh, secret. it's nothing just something that doesn't need to be said here or to anyone." She said turning away desperately hoping she wouldn't fight to know the secret. Well luck wasn't with Clara, so Palina tried again to obtain top-secret info, (As Palina would put any secret she didn't know) "What your top-secret secret." She asked lowering her eyes down to Clara. The bell rang and to keep Palina away, Clara lowered her eyes back to Palina and softly said, "Well if I told you, it wouldn't be a secret." Palina hated the comment but was forced to hurry to class. "That was a smooth cover up." Complemented Danny. "Danny, no offense but I don't think you should fight a ghost today if one happened to pop up." Danny didn't take it the right way. "Why is that?" asked Danny sharply. "I said no offense, and I'm worried that whatever Vlad had in that can. It might affect your other side." "Clara I don't think that…" this is the last time Danny interrupted Clara for a while, anyway "Danny please, can you promise me for one night that you won't fight a ghost, I can take care of it, please I'm very worried." Danny saw the plea in Clara 's eyes and promised her he wouldn't fight for the day.
"I don't understand, what is up with you?" asked Sam when they began walking to their next class. "I already told Danny." Said Clara and turned her face towards the door to her math class, Sam, Danny and Tucker went to their next class as well. (Clara has only one class with Danny and that's science with Mr. lancer…. what exactly does he teach?) After School Clara waited for Jason to come out of his last class. When he came out he had his head down and he was starring at his feet while he walked. He didn't notice that he walked right past Clara that is until she said hi. "Hey," he said, he sounded depressed like his life was over. "Jason, it feels nice to see you." She said directing her eyes from his face to her shoes. "Hey, I think I might be on to something," he said, a thought of hope brushed through Clara's mind. "Every night, I have a premonition of anything, last night I saw in my dream that I was going to come face to face with Dlav, he's tall and he was a ghost just like you and Danny,in the premoition I…" (He saw Clara's eyes wander around, he wanted to read what she was thinking, but he can't really read minds,no matter how much he wished.) Clara looked up, "Yes what did you do," "I saw you there, I think it best that you stay away from him." "But you've never been wrong." "Not yet, at least" Jason's eyes twinkled. He paused then continued, "let's go to the park," Clara knew she should have gone home but her depression kept her with Jason, he made her feel better, he gave her hope.
At the park, Jason bought two sodas and he and Clara sat down to talk. "Jason, I think I have to do something, I mean I need to find what was in that spray can," said Clara. "By the looks of it Clara, that spray might have been mind control, and who is this Dlav?"
Clara shook her head. "Vlad Plasmious, that's his name he's just like me and Danny, he's really rich, um…he is a ghost scientist like Danny's parents, and he sort of, well he um…" Jason's eyes went white and then he stared at Clara, "He gave you your powers?" he asked, Clara stared in bewilderment. "I though you could only see the future," "I see what I need to see, it's mostly the future, butsometimesI see the past as well." "Can you see whatever and whenever you want?" "They come to me naturally but once along time ago, I was very young. I sat in my room concentrating on what would I would get for Christmas, and after a few minutes I saw that I got a new remote control car, but it took so much out of me, I pretty much made my mind jump three days into the future, I was pretty tired, that's how I knew that I had done it and not time itself," "I don't understand. Why would it take out of you?" Clara sort of understood but not exactly, "Not many people understand, anyway when I get a premonition, I get a flare that stood out of the time stream, like a fish jumping out of a stream, and the difference between me and anyone else is I have to gift of sensing it. Now the day ITRIED to see the future, instead of the fish jumping from the stream, I went into the stream to catch the fish. Get it." The fish analogy made it clearer. "Have you told anyone besides me?" "One person actually, I was on a Vacation. My family and I went to Columbia in South America, and we took a train to get to a village to visit. The train stopped at an Indian village instead. So everyone go off and we shopped there, well traded. I got this necklace. (He held up a necklace with a shark tooth for a charm, and then he hid the necklace back under his shirt.) Well an old Indian said something to me in Spanish, I only know a little Spanish, so I didn't know what he was saying, but when he drew a symbol in the sand, I knew what he was talking about." "What was the symbol?" Clara interrupted, Jason turned around and lifted the back of his hair to reveal a symbol; it was a moon in a circle. "I don't know where it came from either. But the man knew and he is the only one that knows, besides you." "That is so paranormal," said Clara, "What? You don't think that you having ghost powers is more paranormal?" his eyes widened, and he laughed, Clara laughed as well, it felt great to laugh. "No, but I mean three people in the world are like me and only one like you." "But that makes four who are different."
(An- you know, I have written a lot in little time. I know there are people who have written more, but still. About Jason I don't know, I think, you know what I have an idea! This story will get to its climax soon! I don't know how I can spell any words wrong I have Microsoft word! It detects misspelled words, so If you see any tell me.)
