Well, last time I mentioned some similarities between Clarion and Emma's histories, first, it's just the beginning, second, the first hints of Clarion's history appear on this chapter, not the other. I still just own the OCs and again thanks to all you reading this.

Clarion walked back to her house, between irritation and sadness.

"Clar!" Felix rushed to the little girl as she walked through the door. "Where was you?" He asked, worried.

"Trying to find out about this problem that put all the Arcade in alert." She sighed and threw herself on the couch, between Ralph and Vanellope.

"And..." Vanellope insisted her to continue.

"Nothing. No sign of Turbo anywhere. Plus, I went to the Mirror Fountain today."

"Dear, what I told you about this kind of things?" Tamora complained. Last time Clarion had tried to follow visions of the future they had gotten in their worst adventue.

"I know mom, but I couldn't help but did it."

"And what the fountain showed you?" James curiously asked his sister.

"That Turbo is saying the truth. A curse will take away all we love, all tha magic and happiness, everything and we can't stop this."

"Of course we can kid." Ralph assured her.

Clarion gave him a faint smile.

"Thank you for trying to put me up, but I'm not saying it because the spirit of the fountain told me, I can feel it on my code. It's comming and soon no one will even remember all this even existed." She sighed sadly. It was hard admite she finally had been defeated.

"But he was a racer. How he got so powerfull?" Felix asked.

"I don't know." Clarion shook her head.

"How about we run?" James suggested. "The real world, we can run to there." He stood up, walking to his sister. "If this curse will destroy everything so the games don't mind anymore."

"I can't open a portal, I think it's part of Turbo's black magic, prevent us to run. Accept it Jay, we finally lost a battle."

"Clarion Grace Jackson Fix-It!" James' tone changed to a firm one, somewhat angry. "From everyone I thought you was going to be the last one to give up. It isn't impossible, we have always the emergency connection."

Clarion looked at him in complete shock.

"What's the emergency connection?" Tamora asked.

"The connection we have with home, an special link that elves can create with the places important to them." Clarion explained. "But we're just half elves, and under this dark spell, probably will need we two to creat a portal estrong enough to only one person cross."

"We'll do it." James said. "You can cross. I'm sure you'll solve this."

"No, I can't!" She protested.

"Your brother is right Clar, you should go." Ralph told her. All the others nodded.

Clarion runned to near her parents.

"No. You don't understand. You don't know what's live there, alone, lost and now still worst, remembering everyday the ones I lost and that's all my fault." She tried to hold the tears but it was impossible. I passed nine years asking myself why had my parents abandoned me in an Arcade, I had a family for a little time, so when I was three they had a son and sent me back to the orphanage, I ran out and passed the next six years living for myself. But it's nothing near know you had a perfect family, a good life and failed to protect it. So, no. I'm not going back there without you."

"Clar, please! James is right, if someone can solve it this someone is you." Felix huged his daughter.

But she just shook her head.

"No! I'll never be alone anymore!" Clarion took a deep breath to calm herself. "Mom should go. She's the one who can save us out of this mess. Plus, it's a chance to the baby to survive. Who knows what will happen when this curse comes?" She looked up at Tamora, blue eyes shinning with tears.

"No dear, I can't abandon you. You know this family is the most important thing to me. I also can't lost you." Tamora replied.

"You'll never lost us." Felix assured his wife. "Clar is right, you should go. I'm sure you'll find a way to save us all and will be like it never happened. But for now, you and our baby have to be safe, it's our best chance."

"So you two had never lived at least in an orphanage?" Crystal asked the two little girls, each one with a milkshake cup.

"Not we remember." Penelope told her.

"And about school, you haven't friends who could help?"

"The other kids hate us." Sara let out a sadly sigh. "The mayor hate us so we ran out. We tried to leave the city. It was a stormy night and for the first time we tried to cross the border of the city a lightning fell in the forest. A tree fell and hit Penelope, she broke her leg and I hurt myself trying to save her from the fire. She passed months in the hospital and I felt it was a sign to us to stay." Sara explained.

As she finished she had tears in her eyes, Penelope too, that made Crystal feel bad for them. 'When we think we're on the end of line we even find someone who's in a worst situation than us.' She thought sadly.

"I understand why you two are so connected with Truffelio's histories. It's important have hope, something to believe, even when you know it wasn't true. It's why I even played games, I liked to have something to take me off the real world a little, to make me believe in magic, even for a little bit, to make me feel I had a hope." Crystal told her new friends, near to cry too.

"Every kid needs something to believe." Sara faintly smiled at the blonde girl, gentle holding her hand.

"We, the lost ones, needs to stick together and be strong."

So Penelope looked at the clock, so at Sara and said:

"It's time to go."

Sara also looked at the clock.

"Thanks Pan, I almost forgot." She stood up. "Sorry Crys, we have to go." She said hurried.

"To where?" Crystal asked, she didn't wanted to be alone untill Truffelio leave the school to her give him the book back.

"I have a rare illness and can even die without the right medicine time in time. And I'm almost in time right now." Sara explained.

"I'll go with you." Crystal decided, taking the book and rushing after the girls.

"We're done." Clarion opened the door of her parents' bedroom with a happy smile.

"Thank you, dear." Tamora smiled at her little girl.

Clarion smiled back and walked out, closing the door behind her.

But as she closed the door she rested her back against it just to hear what was happening inside.

Tamora sighed as she heard the door closing.

"I don't know if I want to do it, Felix." She protested, looking through the window, to the lights on the Niceland streets.

"I know. I don't want too." He sighed, walking to stand in front of her. "But you know it's our best chance. We're doing it mostly for the baby than for us. And we have to be strong." He faintly smiled.

She couldn't help but smiled and pulled him into a passionated kiss.

"I promisse you, it will not last too long." She said as the two pulled apart. "I will back for you as quickly as I find a way."

"I know you will." Felix kissed her again.

But this time it didn't last too long as Tamora was taken by a sudden and not so welcomed pain. She stepped back and hunched over, clutching her stomach.

"Tammy, dear, are you okay?" Felix asked worried.

"Not now." She just muttered to herself worried. If she at least have a few minutes more. She tried to go towards the door, but as she stepped forward she lost her foot and didn't fell because Felix reacted quick enough to hold her and help her to walk to the bed.

Felix looked around worried, searching for his cellphone. He needed urgently to call a doctor.

But surprisingly that moment the doctor entered the room. Felix supposed Clarion had called him and sighed, a little relieved.

Really was Clarion who had called the doctor. It was the first thing she did while rushing to her brother's laboratory. She stormed through the door already yelling:

"Jay. we have a problem!"

"Clar, calm down a little." The boy asked laughing. Thinking it was nothing and his sister was just overreacting a little, maybe a lot.

"Don't time to calm down. The baby..."

"Not now!" He not even let her finish. "But the portal..."

"Just hold one." Clarion completed. "What we'll do now?"

"Clar, I can..."

But Clarion knew what her twin was thinking.

"No Jay. It's dangerous, we can't give up of all this energy."

"But Crystal have to go, I feel it. But she can't go alone."

Clarioon looked down sadly.

"Now I understand what mom did."

"What she did?" James asked confuse. "It's something to worry? Something about the baby."

"Not her Jay, our real mom. I understand why and I know we need to do it. I'm sure Jay, we went back. she will too."

"All right, I'll take your advic n this." Jmes nodded. "Take care of it." He threw somethings on a bag and rushed out of the lab.

While Sara was with a nursey, Penelope leaded Crystal to a reserved area, where a sleeping boy was laying on one of the hospital beds.

"Who's him?" Crystal curiously asked. The boy looked around Sara and Pnelope's age and had red hair.

"No one knows." Penelope smiled distracted. "He's here since I can rmember. Clarion brings him flowers when she can and I just come here when i need to vent something out. I feel good and safe at his side."

"And who Truffelio believes he is?"

"I don't know even if he knows about him."

Crystal gently ran a hand through the boy's hair, but she felt a cold shiver when she did it.

"Can we go now?" She asked, nervously hiding her hand inside her jacket's pocket.

"What's wrong?" Penelope looked at her.

"Nothing, but this silence worries me."

Penelope nodded and the two walked away, to find Sara ready to go. The redhead girl smiled at her friends.

"Hey, what took you two so long?"

"Jus saying hi to an unknown friend." Penelope replied calm.

"I know Pen. Crys, better you go now. If you want to catch Truff at school's exit." Sara warned.

"You two don't acompain me?" Crystal asked.

"Believe me, better we stay away from the other kids of there."

James walked home, barely standing up for himself, he looked about to faint. The boy threw himself laying on the couch, brething heavily.

"Jay!" Clarion exclaimed, finding her twin there. "What you did?"

"I tried Clar. I did my best. If I failed, I'm sory." With a last sigh he finally couldn't stay awake anymore.

"No Jay, please, hold on, I will..." Waile talking she began to run around for some medicine, but her search was interrupted from an urgent call from her walktalkie.

"Clar!"Without pay attention to it she ran as quick as she could to outside and didn't needed to reach the Niceland building's roof, where Ralph was calling her, to know what was wrong.

She saw the game's screen darkening up and knew the curse was reaching them. She immediately ran back inside to find her parents.

"It's coming." She warned with urgency. "We haven't time anymore."

Both, Tamora and Crystal were peaceful sleeping. Felix stood up from the chair where he was and walked to the little girl.

"I'm so sorry." She said, trying to hold out the tears.

"It wasn't your fault, you tried your best, sweetie."

"And failed with everyone." She walked to the bed and gently shook her mother's arm. "Mom, are you sure we'll do it? I still can go."

"No. You was right, it's all to protect her." Tamora muttered, eyes still cosed.

Clarion picked up her little sister, Felix walked to his daghters.

"Here." He held up a medalion, with a pink, star-shaped, shinning stone. "Will protect her."

Clarion smiled faintly.

"If it's enough to you, I'm sure I'm not wrong."The girl muttered.

"We trust you." Tamora muttered, giving her daughter a smile.

Clarion saluted her parents and runned to the laboratory, locking the door behind her, she put Crystal inside a crystal capsule, smiling at her baby sister.

"Good lucky Crys." She whispered, all turning dark around her.

Crystal stoped and took a pink, star-shapped medallion out of her t-shirt. It was a strange coincidence, right?

Just that moment a bell rang, taking the teen out of her daydreams.
