Finding Clyde 101
Jake sat with Carbunce in his lap. "So where's Clyde?"Jake asked.
"We don't know,"Justin said.
"Well we got to find him now don't we?"Jake asked.
"Yeah we should start looking tomorrow,"Rain said. Danielle just sat there with her arms folded.
"So what exactly happened to you guys?"Jake asked. Rain sighed and started to explain.
Last year when Jake fell into the unknown...
"Jake!"Rain yelled trying to reach for him again even though he had already fell.
"Rain, he's gone,"Justin said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"He can't be...He can't,"Rain said, shaking her head madly. They all stood there quietly.
"I don't think we'll be able to fight him without Jake,"Clyde said, shaking his head.
"Should..should we spilt up so he can't find us?"Justin asked.
"That would be wise,"Danielle said.
"Wait..don't go,"Rain said, almost in tears.
"Rain, we're sorry but it's the right thing to do,"Justin said.
"Your wrong!"Rain shouted, shaking her head. Danielle sighed.
"I don't want us to split up either, Rain, but what choice do we have,"Clyde said.
"But...I need you guys more then anything,"Rain said. They all sighed. They started walking away. "No goodbyes?"Rain asked, hanging her head.
They looked at Rain. "Goodbye,"They all said and walked off. "Goodbye,"Rain said with a sigh and watched them just walk away.
The present...
"That was a rude goodbye I think..sorry Rain,"Justin said.
Rain shook her head. "Don't be,"Rain said.
"You guys separated just like that because of me?"Jake asked.
"Yeah,"Danielle said.
"Of course Danielle and Justin stayed together,"Rain said. Danielle rolled her eyes.
"Well I don't wanna wait lets go now we got to find Clyde!"Jake said, jumping up and Carbunce fell onto the floor.
"Jerk you hurt Carbunce!"Rain yelled at Jake and picked up Carbunce. She mumbled something to Carbunce.
"I'm sorry little guy,"Jake said, petting Carbunce.
"Well get changed ladies cause we're going on a journey to find Clyde,"Justin said. Danielle and Rain rolled their eyes and went into the rooms.
"You don't wanna rest?"Justin asked.
"Nope,"Jake said. Rain came out and she was wearing Levi pants and a light blue tank and a dark blue vest. Danielle came out and she wore black pants and a black shirt. "LETS GO!"Jake said. They got into Justin's Jeep and Justin drove.
"So where do you think Clyde is?"Rain asked. They all shrugged.
"Gee you guys a lot of help,"Rain said leaning back. Jake felt awkward. He had kissed Rain and it felt so weird being around her since they haven't seen each other for a year. Jake looked forward and saw Justin and Danielle holding hands. She suddenly pulled her hand away from him.
"I still hate you,"she said. Justin laughed. Jake smiled and looked at Rain. Rain was holding Carbunce. It was about midnight. The light from the stars shone on her making a beautiful glow around her. Rain looked at him.
"Do you want to come closer?"Rain asked.
"What?"Jake said.
"Well its obvious that you want to see the moon,"Rain said.
"Oh ok,"Jake said and scooted closer to Rain. They looked at the moon together. Rain let Carbunce go and he went to where Jake was before. Jake looked at Rain again. Rain looked at him and smiled. He smiled nervously. Rain looked back out the window. Jake leaned against her. He started getting tired.
"You can go to sleep,"Rain whispered. Jake smiled, a sleepy smile. He closed his eyes. He couldn't sleep. He held Rain more securely. "Your still awake?"Rain asked.
"Yeah can't sleep,"Jake said.
"Are you uncomfortable?"Rain asked.
"No not really,"Jake said. Rain squirmed a little bit away from him. He sat up straight again.
"Well if your not gonna sleep I am,"Rain said, cuddling up against him. Carbunce had moved to the very back of the jeep.
"You guys sleepy?"Justin asked.
"Yeah kinda,"Jake and Rain said.
"Well I can stop the jeep and make the seats into a bed type thing,"Justin said.
"That would be nice,"Rain said sitting up. Justin stopped the jeep and Rain and Jake got out and Justin made it into a bed type thing.
"There you go,"Justin said.
"Thank you tomorrow I'll drive and you guys can sleep,"Jake said.
"Ok thanks,"Justin said and got back in. Rain and Jake got back in.
"I have a sleeping bag,"Jake whispered when Rain shivered.
"Cool,"Rain said. Jake used a capsule and a sleeping bag popped out.
"Come on,"Jake said to Rain. She smirked and got into the sleeping bag with him. She cuddled up with him and soon she fell asleep. Jake stroked her hair and just watched her sleep. He soon fell asleep himself.
Danielle woke up because of Justin. "I'm too sexy for my shirt. Too sexy for my shirt. So sexy it hurts,"Justin sang.
"AHHHH!"Danielle yelled and hit Justin. Justin laughed. She glared at him and hit him again.
"I love you Danielle,"Justin said.
"Well I hate you,"Danielle said.
"I know,"Justin said. Danielle hit him again and then folded her arms and leaned against the door. Justin went past this fancy looking place. "Do you think he's there?"Justin asked. Danielle looked up.
"Knowing him probably,"Danielle said. Justin turned around and parked in front of the fancy looking place.
"You guys can stay here,"Justin said, getting out of the jeep. He walked over to the door and knocked. A maid answered.
"Yes?"she asked she had an accent.
"Is there a guy named Clyde here?"Justin asked.
"No, Not of I know of,"she said.
"Ok thank you,"Justin said. Justin walked back to the jeep. "Nothing,"Justin said.
"That sucks and I thought I was gonna drive today,"Jake said.
"Well not till I get tired, ok?"Justin said.
"Ok,"Jake said. Justin stopped to get gas.
"You guys want anything from inside?"Justin asked.
"Yeah, but we'll get it ourselves,"Rain said, getting out. Danielle stopped before going in.
"Want anything?"Danielle asked.
"Yes, a donut and a cup of coffee please,"Justin said.
"Ok,"Danielle said and turned to leave. Justin whipped her back around and kissed her. She pulled away and raised her brow then went inside the station. Justin fixed the backseat into seat again while waiting for the tank to be full. It was filled and he sat in the jeep and waited for them to come back out.
"Oh no you don't I'm driving,"Jake said pulling Justin out of the seat.
"Ok,"Justin said and got in the back. Danielle got in the back with him and handed him the stuff he wanted. "Thank you,"Justin said.
"No problem,"Danielle said. Danielle suddenly took the donut from Justin and smashed it in his face.
"Well that was unexpected,"Justin said. Danielle laughed.
"How am I gonna clean this off?"Justin asked. He took her donut and smashed it in her face. Danielle laughed and Justin did too. They cleaned their face and smiled.
"I still hate your guts,"Danielle said.
"You love me, but you hate my guts poor guts,"Justin said.
"No I just hate you period,"Danielle said.
"Oh so now you hate your period,"Justin said.
"OH SHUT UP!"Danielle said and smacked him. He just laughed and drank his coffee. Danielle drank her cappuccino in silence. Justin smiled.
"I love messing with you, you know that right?"Justin said. Danielle just smirked. He finished his coffee and laid his head back. Danielle inched her face closer to Justin. Justin laughed and he scooted closer to her. He kissed her forehead. She smiled and closed her eyes. He kissed her eyes then rested his eyes. He was still sleepy even if he had coffee. He felt a hand going though his hair and he smiled. He fell asleep moments later.
Danielle sighed as she watched Justin sleeping was adorable. She touched his hand and he mumbled something. 'I hate not hating him...,"Danielle thought. She watched him smile. She wondered if it was her he was seeing in his dream. She kissed his forehead and turned away from him. She curled up and just thought about a lot of things. She didn't know why but she really just wanted to be alone. Danielle looked out the window. She watched as they past houses and some other stuff. 'If I was Clyde where would I be?'Danielle asked herself. She thought about where he would be for awhile. Jake made a sharp turn and Justin fell into Danielle's lap. "Nice driving,"Danielle said sarcastically.
"Thank you,"Jake said.
She looked down at Justin he had his eyes opened and he seemed lost.
"Go back to sleep,"Danielle whispered to him. He cocked his brow up then he just grinned and closed his eyes. She looked back out the window and saw an old looking castle. Suddenly she felt something really weird and then without knowing it she yelled,"Go back to that old looking castle!"
"What why?"Jake asked.
"Trust me just go back,"Danielle said. Jake did a u-turn and went back to the castle. Justin had sat up when the jeep stopped.
"What's going on?"Justin asked.
"We've stopped,"Danielle said simply and jumped out of the jeep. The castle doors were boarded up. Danielle went over to a window. It was boarded up also. She tore the boards off it. After she finished she reached forward to make sure there wasn't a window there. There wasn't. She jumped in and started looking around.
"Hey wait up!"Jake yelled. Danielle stopped she realized she was running. The rest of the party caught up. "Ok tell me why'd we stop here?"Jake ordered.
"I don't know I felt somebody's presence in here I don't know how, but I did,"Danielle said
"Well lets spilt up and check,"Justin said. They nodded.
"Ok Danielle check the first floor, Jake and Rain check upstairs, and I think there's a basement I'll check there,"Justin said. They all nodded and left. Danielle started looking around. She checked the kitchen nobody was there. She checked the halls nobody. 'Hmm where could he be?'Danielle asked herself. She heard shuffling in a closest. She opened the closest door.
Rain and Jake had spilt up she would check the west wing and he'd check the east wing and then if there wasn't anybody that way they'd go up the other stairs and check up there. Rain opened a bedroom door. She walked around the room for a bit. There was clothes on the floor.
"These don't look like royalty,"Rain said. She picked them up and examined it. It was a ninja outfit. 'Maybe Clyde is here or somebody else that's a ninja,'Rain thought. She saw a basket full of other dirty clothes. She threw the outfit in the basket and opened the closest door. There sat a hoverboard and some clothes on hangers.
'A hoverboard?'she thought. "Hmm,"she said. She browsed though the clothes. They were all mens. She put a finger to her face thinking. "Definitely a guy,"she said, and walked out of the room. She went into another room. It was a library. Everything was pretty much dusty. "Hello anybody here?"She asked. No answer. She walked around and looked up thinking that the person might be in the rafters.
"Nobody here either..hmm,"Rain said and left the room. She entered another bedroom. This one wasn't dusty, the bed was made, and there weren't any clothes on the floor. There was a picture on the bedside table. Rain picked it up. The person in the picture was Justin when they were at the gunmanship contest. "Hmm maybe Julia took this picture, but why would she be living in an old castle?"Rain thought out loud.
Rain walked over to the closest. This time their were shoes and girl clothes. "Yep definitely Julia,"Rain said as she looked at the cowboy boots. She closed the closest door. Carbunce whined. He was in Rain's backpack as usual. "Are you hungry?"Rain asked, taking the backpack off her back. Carbunce stared at Rain and nodded. Rain dug into one of the other pockets of the backpack and gave him a muffin. "There you go,"Rain said, letting him eat out of her hand.
"Whose there!"a woman's voice asked. Rain looked up and it wasn't Julia.
Justin was in the basement looking around. It was more like a dungeon then a basement. There were cells all over. Justin smelled something really horrible and almost gagged. Justin coughed. "Ugh, what is that smell?"Justin asked. Justin then held his nose as he walked farther. He turned down the corridor and there was a door. Justin took a deep breath and entered it. It was an office there were keys on one side of the wall. Justin heard something by the desk. He looked around the desk. Nothing. He then looked under the desk and there sat a small child.
"Who..who are you?" The kid asked. Justin couldn't tell if it was a boy or a girl cause they wore a gray cloak with the hood up. It was probably white before, but how dirty this castle is it probably made the white cloak gray.
"My names Justin,"Justin replied. The child winced when Justin went to touch him or her. "Its ok I won't hurt you, what's your name?"Justin asked.
"Jessica,"the kid said.
"What are you doing in here Jessica?"Justin asked, with a grin.
"I came here with the lady that adopted me,"she replied.
"Do you know why she brought you here?"Justin asked.
"We only been here for a week..we were originally supposed to be here for only a day, but we found a man and he was hurt, so mum wanted to take care of him,"she replied.
"Do you wanna come out from under there?."Justin asked. She nodded. Justin offered his hand to her, she took it and he pulled her out from under the desk. He sat her on the chair. "What does this guy look like?"Justin asked, leaning against the wall.
"He has brown hair and brown eyes, he usually has a smile on his face and his eyes seem to dance around,"she replied. She had lowered her hood.
"Does he have a ring on one of his fingers?"Justin asked.
"Yeah, its really shinny,"she said.
"Ok so what were you doing down here?"Justin asked.
"Mum told me to hide cause we heard somebody tearing off the boards off the window..was that you?"She asked.
"No it was Danielle,"Justin said.
"Oh,"she said.
"How old are you Jessica?" He asked.
"Eleven,"she replied. He grinned. She had brown shoulder length hair and green eyes. She reminded Justin of Danielle a younger version of Danielle anyway.
"Wanna help me find your mom?"Justin asked.
"Sure,"the girl said, standing up. She held Justin's hand as they walked.
Jake had checked the whole east wing and now was waiting by the middle staircase for Rain.
"How long does it take to check one wing?"Jake asked out loud. He started getting worried after a few minutes. He went to the west wing and started looking for Rain. He heard someone talking in a room. He took out his oversized sword just in case and opened the door. He saw Rain and somebody else on the bed and they were talking. "What's going on?"Jake asked. Rain and the other person jumped and looked at him.
"Oh hi Jake,"Rain said. Jake looked at the other person. It was a lady with long chocolate brown hair, hazel eyes, and she had a angel like face. Jake squinted then shook his head. He stared at her for a long moment then realized who it was.
"Oh hi Marla, sorry bout that my memories are still kinda messed up,"Jake said.
"What does he mean?"Marla asked Rain. Rain explained.
"Ohhhh,"Marla said.
"Well now we know whose here...so lets go find the others,"Jake said.
"Ok,"Rain said putting Carbunce back into her backpack. Jake realized he still had his oversized sword in his hand.
"Oops,"Jake said and put it back on his back.
"Well lets go,"Rain said. Jake and Marla nodded and headed out.
Danielle was now back where she started. All she found in the one closest was a rat which she killed for the fun of it. She saw Jake, Rain, and a woman that she recognized right away as Marla coming down the staircase. "So that was the person in here?"Danielle asked.
"Yep,"Rain said.
"Oh no, I need to find Jessica,"Marla said.
"Jessica?"they all asked.
"My adopted child,"Marla asked.
"Oh,"Jake said. Then Justin came out of no where with a little girl.
"Jessica,"Marla said.
"Hi mum,"the girl named Jessica said. The girl didn't let go of Justin's hand.
"Hi Marla,"Justin said.
"Oh hey Justin,"she said and blushed.
"So where's the guy that's here with you?"Justin asked.
"Oh I'll show you,"Marla said and lead them up the staircase that Rain and Jake didn't go up. They came to a door it was locked. Marla rolled her eyes and knocked on the door.
"Its me Marla,"Marla said.
Their was a click and a guy stood there. Danielle felt really stupid when she exclaimed,"Clyde!"
"Danielle?"he asked. There was a bloody cloth around his arm. She didn't know why but she pushed past the others and hugged him. She could tell that he was shocked cause he didn't hug her back right away. "Hello to you too,"Clyde said.
The party decided to stay the night. Clyde said he had been liven here for a month and that week Marla came he was attacked by a fiend while going for a walk. "Yeah I was caught off guard,"Clyde said sheepishly.
"Ha-Ha,"Danielle said. Clyde smiled and hugged Danielle.
"Quit it,"Danielle said.
"Hey that's my girl,"Justin whined, then laughed.
"Well mines up in heaven...and Danielle's my buddy,"Clyde said and hugged her tighter just to annoy her. Danielle groaned loudly. Clyde still loved messing with her even if it had been a year they were apart. It was almost like old times except they were a little older. Marla had put Jessica to sleep. Clyde stopped hugging Danielle and winked at the guys. Justin, Jake, and Clyde got up, started running around, while saying they were sexy men. Danielle turned red for some reason. She was almost in tears after awhile.
They stopped running around and asked Danielle what was wrong. "Justin!"Danielle yelled.
"Oh sorry bout that,"Justin said and kissed her forehead.
"I still hate you for doing that,"Danielle said.
"Don't be I'm really sorry I didn't think you would have got embarrassed I hoped you would though,"Justin said, truthly.
"Why!"Danielle asked.
"Cause can we talk about it in another room?"Justin asked.
"Fine!"Danielle said and walked out.
"We might not come back so see you tomorrow or later,"Justin said and left the room.
"Wonder what's wrong with them,"Clyde said.
"Oh its about what happened when we went to the karaoke place he sang this song and it really embarrassed Danielle,"Rain said.
They stayed up almost half the night talking, but they all fell asleep in a the middle of an conversation when it was three a.m.
