Chap.5: Ridding & Recording
Thank you to: Greendoggie, southernbelle84, SabinaGirl for your reviews!! Again CLEA IS NOT CHEATING ON TOBIAS WITH RILEY!!!!!
Clea was at the grocery store buy some stuff for lunch, she was going with Patrick, Riley, and Rosie trail ridding. She was putting the bags of the stuff she bought in the trunk of her car, when her cellphone rang with her ringtone Its my turn to fly by the Urge.
Clea closed the trunk of her car, and got her cellphone out of her purse, checked the caller i.d and saw that it was her godfather Pogue.
« Hey Pogue, what's going on? » Clea asked
« Do you remember telling your dad about the new guy Connor? » Pogue asked
« Yeah, I remember why do you ask? »
« We need you to be a double agent for us. »
Clea took in a deep breath before answering.
« What do you mean a double agent for you guys? »
« We need you to get close with Connor so you can witness him using. »
Clea unlocked her car door, got in and closed the door behind her.
« Are you insane! Forget it… Pogue I don't even like the guy. »
« I know that feeling of not liking the new kid but we have to be sure about his powers before taking any kind of actions. » Pogue exhalled a deep breath « We really need you to do this for us… please Clea do it for all of us. »
« Fine I'll do it but I'm not happy about it. I'll call you when I get the proof I need. »
Clea and Pogue both hang up their phones at the same time. Clea put the key in the egnition and drove back to Spenser.
About an hour later
Clea, Rosie, Patrick and Tobias arrived at the Spenser Horseback Riding school called 'Forever Swift '. When they all got out of the car, Clea noticed someone she didn't wanted to see.
« What's Connor doing here? » Clea asked
Tobias walked over to Clea and placed his arm around her shoulder.
« I don't know babe, now this might a wild guess but he might be here to do some riding. » Tobias answered with a grin on his face.
That remark caused Patrick and Rosie to chuckle to themselves.
« Tobias, shut up and let's get ready to go trailriding. Patrick I've got a lunch packed, you and Rosie are going on the easy trail. » Clea explained as she handed Patrick the backpack with their lunch.
« What about you and Tobias? » Rosie asked
« We have a lunch packed and were going on the advance course. »
« I thought we were all doing this together. » Patrick told Clea as they all walked in the barn.
« Oh we are untill we get to the fork in the road… left is the easy course and right is the hard one. » Clea explained
Clea turned to see that Rosie was nervous to be around all the horses. This was going to be Rosie's first time being on a horse. Clea started to walk towards Rosie, then all of a sudden Rosie was pushed by someone and Clea was close enough to catch her as she fall face first into Clea's arms.
« Rosie are you allright? » Clea asked as she helped her friend up to her feet.
« God, it look's like they let anyone in here. » The female voice commented
Clea and Rosie turned to see that Beth Snider had just walked in the stables with her boyfriend Adam Abbott who was a spitting image of his father Aaron Abbott.
« Look what the cat dragged in Rosie it's B.S and A.A. Both white trash no one want's around. » Clea said
Beth rushed over and slapped Clea's face which caused her to stumble back. Patrick who was behind her steadied her before she fell on the floor.
« Don't you dare call me white trash Danvers! » Beth growled
« Why not everyone know's your mom is a slut who sleep's around. » Clea said in calm cool voice.
Beth was about to lunge her self at Clea but Adam was holding her back and Tobias was Clea back before the two teenage girls started a cat fight.
« Tobias why don't you keep your girlfriend quiet before she say's something stupid. » Adam suggested in a taunting voice.
« Yeah, well Adam keep a short leash on Beth… let's hope she isn't like her mother .» Clea answered back
Thomas Randall who was the owner of the ranch, just stepped out of his office after hearing the beginning of a fight.
« That's enough, I will not have you destroy each other. If you want to kill each other then take it somewhere else… is that understood! » Thomas yelled
« Yes Thomas. » They all muttered
Thomas went back in his office and everyone else went back to their own buisness.
An hour later
All four were on the trail that was leading in the forest with the trail guide. Patrick, Rosie, Tobias and Clea were having a great time laughing and just loving the moment.
Clea had brought her video camera and was filming the activity. Of course the video camera was around her neck but when she and Tobias were going to get on the advance trail she would put it away in the satlle bag.
« Up ahead is the fork in the road… Tobias and Clea go on ahead on the hard trail with Ralph while I take Patrick and Rosie down the easy trail. » Suzie explained
« Sure thing Suzie… Pat, Rosie see you at the picnic area for lunch. » Clea said to her friends
« See you two later! » Rosie exclaimed
After putting her video camera away, Tobias, Ralph and Clea took a right turn while trotting. Suzie, Patrick and Rosie took a left on a nice slow walk.
Two hours after lunch
After the trailridding, while everybody was putting away their equipment, Clea took Ebony into her stale. Ebony was Clea's horse that her parents bought her as a present for her 14th birthday. Clea has spent three years ridding Ebony and doing barrel races together and for two years in a row Clea had gotten 2nd place.
Once she put Ebony in her stale, she petted her nose with her hand and smiled. She then bent down and kissed her muzzle… it felt so soft.
« How about it girl, this year we'll bring back first place this year. » Clea suggested as she feed her a piece of granny smith apple that she held in her open palm.
Once Ebony finished her treat, Clea hugged her side where the neck meet's with the body. While she hugged her mare she inhaled her sent that she adored… people always thought she was crazy but Clea always loved the smell of horse hair.
As she left the stable and started to walk toward's Tobias Hummer where they were all waiting for her. A swift movement caught her eye, it was Connor in the forrest. Clea took out her video camera, turned it on and started to record him as she walked in.
Connor came to a sudden stop as if he felt someone watching him, so he turned around and Clea was able to hide quickly behind a tree. He started to walk towards her and then when she thought that he would find her a bunny hopped out behind a bush.
Clea pushed the zoom button and zoomed in on Connor's face. His eyes went black as he used the power. Clea then filmed down to the rabbitt and saw the poor thing twitching and shaking as it screeched in pain. Lea gasped out loud and then when she realized what she had down she had brought her hand to her mouth and covered it. She was praying that he hadn't heard her, she brought the camera down to the rabbitt who had stopped twitching and hopped away, like nothing happened. She brought the camera up to Connor's face, his eyes were still black and turned in her direction and gave her a evil grin.
Clea started to panick, she turned off her camera and ran out of the forrest and ran to Tobias's Hummer where Tobias, Rosie and Patrick were waiting for her.
« Clea, are you allright? » Rosie asked as they got in the car
« Yeah why do you ask? » Clea replied as she got in the Hummer and buckled her seatbelt.
« You look like you just ran a marathon… you sure you okay kitten? » Tobias asked Clea
Clea leaned towards Tobias and gave hm a quick kiss on his lips.
« Tobias I promise I'm fine. » Clea said as she assured her boyfriend and Pat & Rosie in the back seat.
1 hour later
Clea told Rosie that she was going to take a walk and that she had her cellphone with her in case of whatever that might happen. She was driving to the cliffs above the Dells… she needed to clear her head from what she saw. At the red light Clea connected her iPod to her car adaptor and turned it on. She selected the song Apologize from One Republic, when the light turned green she continued driving.
After finaly arriving at the cliffs, she took paused her music and took out her cellphone from the cup holder. She dialed the familier number that she knew by heart… her phone number.
After waiting for someone to pick up the phone, finally Caleb answered the phone.
« Hello, this Caleb Danvers how can I help you? » Caleb answered over the phone
« Dad its me… Clea I need to talk to you about Connor. » Clea answered
« Clea, hang on I'm putting you on speaker phone… go ahead sweetheart. »
« Dad, are Pogue, Tyler and Reid there? »
« Hey Clea were all here! » They all exclaimed
Clea took in a few deep breath before answering again.
« Dad, guys Connor is one of you guys. » Clea said in a shaky voice
« What do you mean one of us? » Reid asked
Tears were running down her face
« I saw him using in the woods when I went trailridding with Patrick, Tobias and Rosie. » Clea explained as she was crying
« Clea… sweetheart did he hurt you? » Caleb asked in his deep serious voice
« No he di-didn't hurt me… he was tor-torturing this poor bun-bunny in the woods and he sca-scared me. »
Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and Reid could all hear in Clea's voice that she was really scared of him. For Clea to cry about some guy like Connor he must have really scared the crap out of her.
« Clea… it's Pogue where are you? » Pogue asked
« I'm at the cliffs above the Dells… I took a drive to try and clear my head. I was able to record Connor using his powers with my video camera.»
« Clea can you come over to the house, let's say tomorrow at 1:00 p.m.? » Caleb asked his daughter in a soft voice
« Yeah, I'll be there… I'll bring my camera with me. See you guys tomorrow. » Clea answered
Clea hung up her phone, and selected the song For Blue Skies from Strays Don't Sleep. After the song started to play she drove back to Spenser.
Author Note: There you guys… sorry it took so long. The songs Apologize from One Republic anf For blue Skies from Strays Don't Sleep are real!! The name of the ridding school in Ipswich called Forever Swift is purely fictionnal!!!!
