Hello everyone here is the second part of the last chapter of ICBT. I feel for Lillian after Warren left he never calls, writes I think he is in deep shit when Lillian gets a hold of his ass. Again I don't own Sky high and all their main characters. I do own the ones I created and some plot points. Revised Edition please review!
May 19th seven months missing…
I was sitting in gym talking to Dice he refuses to have a small party for his birthday until his brother comes back. I guess they have never celebrated a birthday without the others and I respected that all the more. Trace has been very helpful calming me down when I feel one of Warren's outburst, my parents are still looking for him and his mother. I swear if he wasn't my mate I would leave his ass so fast his head would spin. But I see his ring resting on my finger giving a mental sigh.
"I know honey," Dice said hugging me close. I knew my friends felt for me because they understood they couldn't do it having their mates leave for now going on six months. We only have 15 days of school left. He will be a senior and I will be a clearly insane sophomore, I am going to beat his ass when he comes back or I find him.
10:00 Pm…
Logan was sitting on the metal table watching me clean before I closed up along with Kuan Yin. I had my dinner in a to go carton because I wasn't at home to eat, I ate maybe one meal a day. I knew my parents talked about putting me into the hospital until he came back. Will went into a fury when he heard them and he put a firm stop to it, for which I am very grateful for.
The back door flew open in stepped 6 masked villains, I swear Battle has lots of these assholes at his command. I turned and sent two into the trash dumpsters outside blue lighting hitting their chests. Logan smiled and grabbed one slamming his head into the metal table, and he didn't get back up. Another came at me, I flipped over the table kicking it as my other foot hit the floor. The table flew in to his stomach pinning him to a wall. Logan had another one down he looked at the last one with an intense look and the villain dropped to the floor covering his head screaming. His fear and insecurities being used against him, I think I wouldn't want Logan's power used on me. Then my father and Hurricane showed up taking all six villains to the prison as Logan drove me home. He walked me to the door knocking and he gave my mother a smile as she let me in.
"Thank you Logan," She said as she shut the door.
June 29th Eight months…
I sat on the sandy beach with my friends; Halo and Mel are with us. As the boys had to work I had on a deep red bikini, I like to think Warren would have hated it with a burning passion. I was in a lot of pictures Sparrow was taking so he would see it one day. I was messing with my bottle of water when it happened again, I looked around seeing Warren. I watched him as he killed a girl her body falling to the floor blood on his hands. He looked to his mother who had a bruise around her peach colored eyes. I screamed his mental part knew I saw and was beginning to try and find him.
"Get out of my head," He screamed and tried to push me out and I gave an insane giggle. I pushed sarcasm and hate and anger towards him. I tried to feel if I could say a few words and I could but I would be totally drained after.
"You are dead if I find you," I said and I passed out in the sand. I wouldn't be trying that again because I woke up six days later in the hospital. I heard some voices and kept my eyes shut so they wouldn't stop talking.
"I am getting more worried if we don't find him she will become insane and I don't know what my Lily bug would do if she was Insane," Daddy said his voice was broken with grief and worry over my health.
"We will find them Steve and she is not becoming insane just a little off but she is our daughter," My mother said in a firm tone telling him to shut it.
"Not only her mental health but her physical health is on the line she can't be sleeping or eating very much," Dr. Spex said and I smiled.
"How about you don't talk about me like I can't hear or I am nonexistent," I snapped.
July 15th Nine months…
July has been the worse month yet he was always trying to block me and with my own health failing. I could see his very strong emotions maybe he thinks I just don't care anymore and maybe I didn't. Dice and everyone else are worried about my manic outbursts in school, work or out walking around they would happen. I wasn't able to control them anymore, I found myself having talks with no one. I was worried when I would talk to myself, sadly I would answer with a very logical explanation as to why I was talking to myself.
9:00 Pm …
I was finished putting up my last order of the night and I moved to cooking myself some fried rice and shrimp. I ate at least twice a day, very small meals. I smiled as Gwen walked in she was taking me home since Logan had to work.
"I am sorry he has been gone so long, I hope they find him soon. I know I don't act like it but I care I don't want to see you hurting and with all the assholes at Sky high saying you're crazy and you killed Warren isn't helping. But if you need help or just want to talk I am here we are sisters, since your stupid brother is my mate," Gwen said rubbing my arm.
"Thank you Gwen, I am crazy I can feel my own mind slipping. I am going to kill Warren so I don't let what people say bother me anymore. I know you care I see the way you look at me and as for Will he will grow up," I said putting my food on a plate as the kitchen was already clean. Kuan Yin came in as I was eating and talking to Gwen, when my hands slacked and I dropped my plate it shattered on the tile floor. I stared and saw Warren on the floor he was bleeding he had no strength left to fight too many villains this time. I opened the bond not my mind this time and pushed my energy some of my strength over to him and I heard him groan as he felt the raw power. But he shot to his feet and he was able to take them out he grabbed his mother's hand and they were gone a backpack over his shoulder and hers.
I fell to my knees weak from him sapping my energy and strength for a few minutes he took days from me. I didn't pass out this time as I sat while Kuan Yin and Gwen cleaned up the mess, Kuan Yin made me more food and tea. She was becoming very worried for me and Warren as the months passed.
August 29th ten months….
I sat in the front seat of Logan's mustang which I liked it was a rebuilt older car. He opened my door and Dice gave him a fist bump before he walked me into the school. With me being attacked three times now and my outburst he was almost always with me.
I had to run to my locker for my text book and folder that had my report in it. I didn't want to be late but it was going to fucking happen. I opened it grabbing my stuff putting it into my bag, I turned coming face to face with the asshole from Mr. Medulla's class.
"Well hello my little flower, any outbursts today. I like my girl's crazy," He said grabbing my arm.
"Leave her alone Michael," I heard a new voice.
"No," He smiled and the new voice punched him dead in the face. I turned and saw the new kid he had black hair that went to the middle of his neck. Black eyes that looked odd, he had some muscles on his body along with tattoos on his arms, chest and neck. Angel bites piercing along with his eyebrow (Guy from Fergie's big girls don't cry video, yummy).
"Thanks," I said and he gave me a seductive smile.
"No problem, umm my name is Gino I am new here I am in senior hero class. I was friends with Brent before he was killed he mention a girl named Lillian here he had a crush on is it you," Gino asked walking me to class.
"Yes, I knew Brent and Jennifer before some bastard killed them. I am a sophomore and yes my name is Lillian Stronghold," I said with a smile.
"Beautiful name, well I will see you around," Gino said before walking off, leaving me at the classroom door.
Lunch…
"Hey Gino care to sit with us," I called he walked over taking the spot Warren sat in.
"Guys this is Gino he knew Brent, he helped me out with Michael today," I said the girls were at least kind but the boys saw him as a threat. I walked with Gino to my free period as he had it also; we sat and got to know each other. He was smart and sweet, he was a bad boy I could tell as much.
As the days became weeks I was fast friends with Gino he would see me at work. And visit the house and I could tell my parents disliked him; the only thing I worried about was how Sparrow couldn't read his mind. He knew I had a mate and he was gone for some time although he never asked about Warren.
September 30th 11 months' days away from a year…
I had a feeling Gino liked me as more than a friend I gave him no inclination I felt the same. I didn't I had a mate and hello huge diamond ring on my hand said it all. But he had my back when he heard hero's saying shit about me being crazy. He has had to hold me down getting a black eye in the process. Dice, Trace and Angelo watched him like a hawk. But they got suspended for fighting for my honor, so Gino watched out for me while they couldn't.
"Work tonight?" Gino asked as he helped Layla up from the floor all my girlfriends liked him he was caring and sweet.
"Yes I do," I said as we walked out of the school seeing their mates waiting.
"I will come see you; sorry your male friends don't like me very much. I think they are worried I will take you away from your mate, I wish I could, seeing as how he has left you for a year now," Gino said and it hit home it was two days away from a year. He didn't even call me on my birthday; Gino gave me a beautiful cross necklace.
"I wonder myself sometimes," I said as he gave me a hug, I walked to Dice in a dead stare lost in thought. It was Friday and I had to work all weekend and I didn't mind in the slightest. The weather was back to cold it was more humid and rainy then anything. I loved the rain and dislike the heat even though when it was Warrens heat it felt different somehow.
Saturday…
I sat with the girls at the local café I was drinking a Carmel frap, when I saw Gino with a group of older kids. You could tell they were villains by the very look of them. He didn't see me as he walked into the hardware shop, and by the time he came back out we were gone. I can't hate him because of who he hangs with Warren is a villain and I love him.
"Lily, are you trying to replace Warren. I know he could have written and called, sent a text or a fucking pigeon with a message. I don't understand why he hadn't contacted you and I love you both like family. But Gino is bad news, Warren will come home he loves you," Dice said his hand on my thigh with the other two boys agreeing with him.
"Gino and I are just friends he would like more but it isn't something I can give right now. If Warren loved me he would have come home, contacted me but he hasn't," I said and Dice looked at me because of the whole right now, his liquid brown eyes so stunning.
"Good because we all know Warren loves you very much," Trace said sending waves of calm at us. I left having to get ready for work I had to be there at noon.
I tied my apron around my waist after I clocked in seeing what has been prepared for me. I had to start chopping every veggie on the menu filling the clear containers. Then moving on to, cutting up meat and putting it into the correct containers. I oiled the grill and wok as I started getting orders. I was rushed it was a weekend and this was a popular place to eat. I eat three shrimp as I cooked I was feeling dizzy.
"Kuan Yin, can I have some tea?" I asked I wasn't feeling right. I went back to work doing some prep for tomorrow since it would be busy and having it done before hand was helpful. She came in and boiled some tea with her smile she handed it to me. I drank it slowly it was burning hot. I was cooking my dinner when Gino walked in he looked nice, he gave me a smile.
"Hey Gino, I saw you today before I came into work. I was getting coffee and saw you walk into the store," I said and he looked nervous and a tad pissed but he controlled it.
"I didn't see you such a shame," He said leaning on the door. "You okay Gino?" I asked and he changed his expression it softened.
"I am I was a bit angry I didn't get to see you until now. I like being near you Lillian, I have tried to tell myself you're a taken women but I think I would be good for you. I would never leave you," Gino said in a sweet voice moving closer.
"I have to think and see Warren if I am going to break if off. He could have written or sent a text if he really missed me," I said more to myself, and I knew I was hurting more then I let on.
"Well I can wait your worth it Lillian, you're worth a lot more than even you know," Gino said kissing my cheek pulling me into a warm hug, I rested my head on his shoulder. He pulled away looking in my gray eyes before he kissed me, his lips molding to mine pulling closer as the kiss became intense. His tongue wrapping around mine as we kissed, it was different he pulled away kissing me one last time a sweet peck on my red lips.
"Just think about it," he smiled walking out as I was stunned, I turned seeing Halo and Mel watching. "Not good that he kissed you, lucky it didn't look like you kissed back. Warren would be crushed," Halo said as I gave her a look.
"Yes because my feeling mean so much to Warren. I didn't know he was going to kiss me it was a hug, yes it was all his fault," I babbled starting to cook as I talked to myself.
October 27th One year and 19 days M.I.A…
For the last few days I have been getting the rage near constant. He was in pain, and I wasn't very caring only when I saw his mother bleeding did I feed him from our bond. I was getting closer to Gino, not as much as he would have liked. I wanted to go to Texas but hell if I knew why. It was an everyday feeling the need to go to Texas; I pulled Dice to me as he walked by.
"I need to go to Texas," I said he gave me an odd look.
"Why?" He went on to ask me, as I rolled my eyes.
"I don't know it's a deep down burning feeling that I need to be somewhere in Texas on the 30th," I said and he nodded.
"I will book four plane tickets we will arrive on the 29th," He said as he helped me into his truck. I had to be at work soon and I knew Dice would make sure I was in Texas on the 30th. I had to get a couple days off work, and make an excuse why I was going out of town so Gino didn't worry.
Before we closed I was eating with Layla and Kuan Yin, I knew she was giving me odd looks I have been so unstable for so long. It might be permanent this was all his fault the stupid bastard, I swear he is going to have to pay.
"Kuan Yin can I have the 28-1 off, I have to be in Texas before you ask I don't know why," I said.
"Yes I cover for you," She said as she stood we cleaned the table before we closed for the night.
I sat in my room my hands clenched in my lap as I was going through Warrens emotions again. I felt the wetness of blood on my hands and legs, if I called out my brother and parents would come running. I sat cussing and growling, I never fell asleep that night just bleeding and reliving his emotions.
October 28th 1year and 20 days…
I knew my girlfriends were pissed because they can't come with us to Texas. I told them I had a very bad feeling if they came their mates would be hurt. But with us four going it would end well, it was a lie I didn't know shit. But Sparrow couldn't read me so they wouldn't find out I lied, I still felt bad for lying to them.
I had to wait until my parents followed the very fake lead before I ran downstairs and out the front door. I ran and jumped into Logan's Mustang he was dropping me off at the airport he would watch my friends while I was gone. We drove and I sent a text to Gino, "See you on Tuesday,-Lily" I sent it as we pulled into the private airport in Mobile, Al. I got out we walked to the desk seeing Dice, Trace and Angelo wrapped in their mates arms. I checked in my bag and gave my friends a hug. Logan would be driving them home. Logan hugged me so tight like he might not see me again, but I kissed his cheek with a smile.
"Find out about Gino while we are gone," I thought I heard Dice whispering to Logan. We walked to our gate waiting to board the plane. It would only take four hours to get there we would share a hotel room I wasn't to be left alone.
5am Texas October the 29…
I walked into the hotel room seeing two beds; I went and took a fast shower putting some Pjs on. We all slept for a couple hours, I woke to find Dice's arm wrapped around me so tight I was flushed with his muscled bare chest.
"Dice," I said and tried to move away from him.
"Sleep women," he said pushing my head down to the pillow. I bit him hard on his hand he laughed but never let go of me.
"I like it rough hot stuff," He said and I heard more laughing from the other bed. I could feel his arousal men are men I guess.
"Okay I will just pee on you than," I said his arms vanished from my waist and chest. I got up walking into the bathroom using the toilet before I exploded. I washed my hands and walked back out seeing Angelo and Trace in the same bed I grabbed my phone snapping a picture. Than I had to lock my phone so it couldn't be erased by them. I lay back down Dice was quick to put his arms around me, pulling flush with his body, it made it easy to get a little sleep.
"Don't mistake me for Layla," I smiled as he pinched my ass, I moaned. I just laid there as they slept for about four more hours it was five in the afternoon when we all got dressed headed out to eat and rent a car.
"I will have two soft tacos," I said to the cashier at Taco bell as the others ordered their dinner. We sat and ate but we would be traveling to Dallas it would take five hours to reach it. I was in the back as Angelo drove through the dimming light of day. It was around 11 at night when we entered our room the boys are hungry so we go to the dinner across the street. I had a headache so I downed a Rock star in one shot and it faded away. We sat and laughed their phones went off and so did mine, as I had my legs over Dice's thigh my head on his shoulder.
"Why are your friends following me, I thought you trusted me-Gino and I sighed.
"I am not having you followed Gino my friend Dice is he doesn't trust you,-Lily" I gave Dice a look.
"Okay see you soon can we have dinner when you get back. Not a date but like friends,-G"
"Sure," I sent and put my phone away.
"Okay we are in the right town and we need to be up early tomorrow bec-"I ended up dragging the knife into the table as I felt rage and love where was the love coming from?
"He is pissed but is feeling love?" I asked out loud as I came back and I knew I was talking to myself.
"Do you think your bond is searching for him and he is here?" Angelo asked with hope.
"I think so," I said we finished eating then we walked back to the room as we fell asleep. It was hard not to sleep but I would wake once an hour in a panic. I would look around and Dice's arms would be around me pulling me back down, his arms safe. I was fully awake by 7 in the morning and was showered with a small amount of make-up on dressed by 8:00. The boys were up and getting ready we didn't stop and eat; Dice lead me to the car and shut the door behind me.
Noon…
I knew we are very close, he was here but where "Dice pull over we need to walk he is very close," I said he pulled into Taco bell. We walked and had our eyes open when I heard a very female cry of pain, then saw fire. We ran, but I was faster as I reached the ally before they did.
Lady Peace was against the wall and her son was in front of her as ten people stood blocking me from Warren's vision. I heard a baby crying and Willow whispering to it, I was shocked. When did a baby come into this? I raised my hand and a bolt of blue lighting struck the head guy dead in the back and he went down his head hitting the ground. More fell as lighten hit them, I was angry seeing him.
"No one can kill Warren Peace but me," I said striking another as Dice sent Dice filled with Kinetic energy at the others, Trace was using my pain to bring others to their knees as Angelo would fly them high dropping them to the floor. Warren was burning the bodies as they fell or went down. I was blowing the very dark smoke away with 45mph winds and within 20 minutes it was over.
I stood looking at Warren his eyes on mine, I growled a low deep sound coming from my chest. I was so angry and hurt this would take time to get over.
"Did he not think I would be pissed?" I asked and I just had to answer myself.
"He is stupid, he didn't think at all," I said and he looked at me in a sad way, Dice came up behind putting his arm around me. Whispering in my ear as I turned to look at Dice who gave me an impish smile. Willow rushed forward and gave me a firm hug although I didn't return it, I looked down at the baby. It was a newborn baby girl her dark eyes looking at me, I could see dark curls under her hat. I looked at Warren then Willow.
"This is Evangeline she is Battles sisters daughter, Battle killed her parents and we took her as we stayed with her for three weeks," Willow said I sighed it wasn't Warrens love child.
"We need to go now," Angelo said I walked away heading to the car, but we went into I Hop. I sat and stared at nothing not talking Warren was across from me, Dice right next to me, as the waiter came up.
"I will have the biscuits and gravy, sausages burnt, eggs over easy a double of hash browns and bacon on the side," Warren said and Angelo, Trace and Dice ordered the same.
"The Denver omelet please," Willow said as she got a bottle from a pink diaper bag.
"Orange juice," I said "Eat," Warren said and I grabbed the knife near his hand, and I stabbed his right hand. "Shut up," I snarled like an animal, my grey eyes looking like storm clouds.
"Lily bug eat a small amount," Dice said from next to me.
"One biscuit and gravy," I said and the waiter walked away, after he gave Warren a look.
"I may need stitches," Warren said holding a pink towel to his hand. "I hate to say it but serves you right, you could have come home, called something," Trace snapped.
"Willow did Warren tell you he marked Lillian before he left?" Angelo asked. And she turned toward her son with a stern look, he looked confused.
"Warren why didn't you tell me," She scolded him he looked sheepish.
"I didn't want you to worry all this is happening because of me," Warren said and I laughed like a loon I was getting looks.
"How bad has she been?" Willow asked as she touched my head then she was looking at me with love.
"About two months after you all left, than around four months she started having manic outburst. Scaring her parents they went to the safe house and brought some of your stuff back. She has been slipping since they almost had her put in to the mental hospital until they could find Warren. She talks to herself and the manic fits are almost every day," Dice said his voice sad over my not excitant mental health. He pulled me closer to him I closed my eyes at the feeling.
"Warren it was very dangerous for us to be away for so long, it has been over a year. Once you mark her she can't be away from you for long. It messes with her head she is basically going insane, her outburst are when you felt strong emotions. What have we done we should have went right back, has she started dating someone else," Willow asked she was concerned.
"No she doesn't date, but a Gino a friend of Brent's has asked her out many times, and they are close as he has had to hold her down when she was having a fit. Well he also kissed her like I mean stuck his tongue down her throat, Mel told me," Angelo said and Warren snarled.
I just stayed silent looking over at them but not putting any effort into the conversation. "How do I fix it?" Warren said looking at his mother.
"Feed from her be very close for however long until her mind is in its normal functioning state," His mother said with panic and worry.
Our food arrived my cell was going off so I picked it up answering it. "Hello, Gino what can I help you with," I said trying to get my head on straight.
"Seeing if you are okay?" he said worried for me.
"I am not but see you at school," I said and he sighed" I miss you and see you soon," he hung up and I set my phone in my purse. I started eating very slowly feeling Warrens eyes on me as we ate. I only ate five bite's before I stopped feeling sick to my stomach, I pushed my plate away and drank my juice.
Midnight…
I sat on the balcony of our hotel room we got three this time; I was forced in here with Warren. He watched me sit never saying a word to me and I didn't try and talk to him either. I knew he was shocked to see me his mind racked over the changes. My hair passed my ass I now, I wore glasses bags under my eyes my thin frame was upsetting to people.
"Lillian we need to at least talk," Warren said and I turned to him.
"I know, you know I did in fact get every call and text, I was scared to answer them. Either I would run back to you or I would hurt you by answering. I know it has been over a year and you may not forgive me. But I love you so much and have missed you every day. I will stay with you I never should have left, Dice has told me everything all the people talking about you I will deal with them on Tuesday. Gino I don't trust him at all," He said he was watching my eyes and I looked at him.
"Over a year Warren, I know I am crazy so it doesn't hurt me. I missed you so much seeing the visions of you hurt and feeling your emotions drove me crazy. Is it too late I don't know if it's too late," I said still talking to myself.
"Will you give me a chance to prove to you that I am here to stay, I see you still wear my ring and been told you never take it off. You look so pale and skinny, I love the hair and glasses," Warren said and I thought about it.
"I don't know" I said and he pulled me close to his warm strong body. He looked so much older a scar on his cheek his hair longer than before. He had a goatee and mustache he was taller like 6'7' he held me close.
Okay Warren is back and Gino isn't going to like it as he has his sights set on our Lillian.
