Chapter Four

The sun was shining through the window of a room, two little girls were waking up. Only Emily was getting out of bed, Clara didn't want to get up and made no move to getting up.

Emily walked over and pulled the cover off of Clara. "Come on Clara it's time to get up"

She looks at Emily angrily. "Leave me alone"

Emily snaps at her sister. "Fine I'll leave you alone, I'll go swimming with uncle Gordon"

Leaving her sister to sulk, Emily left and went down to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

Looking up Virgil sees his daughter coming up to him without Clara, he was concerned as his daughters always come in together.

He sighs. "Emily where is Clara?"

She looks up at her daddy. "She's sulking in our bedroom"

Nodding his head Virgil says. "Ok I'll go and get your sister"

Emily nods her head then started eating her pancakes with bananas and chocolate sauce.

Getting up Virgil left and went to his daughters room, he looks inside and sees Clara sitting on her bed. He walks in and sat on the edge of the bed.

She looks up at her daddy. "I don't want to go swimming"

Smiling gently Virgil wrapped his arm around Clara. "You don't have to go in the pool, you can sit with me by the pool"

She to a minute and nods. "Thank you daddy"

Virgil took Clara down to the kitchen and got her some pancakes, he also got her a apple juice and himself a cup of coffee.

After breakfast Virgil took his girls and got them ready, he then took them down and out to the pool where Gordon was waiting.

Smiling Gordon asked. "Emily, Clara are you ready to learn how to swim?"

Emily was so excited. "Yes uncle Gordon I'm ready"

Looking down at Clara then back to Gordon, Virgil replies. "I'm going to keep Clara with, we will watch from the chairs"

Gordon nods then jumps in the pool. "That's ok…. Come on in Emily"

She jumps and Gordon started to teach Emily how to swim, he keeps her above the water.

Sitting watching from the side of the pool, Virgil and Clara watched them and at the same time Clara was drawing.

About twenty-five minutes in to the swimming lesson, Emily started to having trouble breathing. Gordon got Emily over to the side of the pool.

Clara saw and points. "Daddy……. Emily is not right"

He looks up then runs over to the help get Emily out of the pool, he carries her down to the medical room. Once inside Virgil gently put Emily down on the bed, he called Brains who put a nebuliser on Emily.

Brains explained that Emily had a asthma attack, and that she will be ok soon after some rest.

Virgil nods and stayed by Emily's side, he had forgotten about Clara.

Meanwhile Clara had walked off and ended up deep in the jungle, she was lost and all alone with no idea where to go.

It was the next morning and Virgil had stayed in the medical room all night, he took Emily to the kitchen where everyone was. Virgil looked at Scott and noticed that he looked like he hadn't slept all night, he was worried about his brother.

Walking over Virgil asked his brother. "Did you a late night rescue mission?"

Scott was angry that his brother hadn't noticed that Clara was missing.

Snapping Scott says. "You haven't noticed that someone is missing……. She has been missing since yesterday"

Looking confused Virgil asked. "What are you talking about?"

Scott looks at his brother and sighs. "Clara has been missing since you took Emily down to the medical room…… we all searched for her and rechecking every room but we can't find her"

Virgil was still confused. "What?"

Scott lost it and shouts. "YOUR DAUGHTER CLARA IS MISSING"

As it sank in Virgil realised that he needed to find his daughter, he ran out and down to the beach and searched for her but didn't find her. Next Virgil ran into the jungle to search for Clara, he was very worried and concerned about his little girl.

He calls out her name. "CLARA…… CLARA?"

She didn't answer as she was unconscious and cold.

He went deeper into the jungle, he was about to leave to search somewhere else. He sees a small figure laying on the ground, he run over and kneels down next to her.

Running his fingers through her hair, he calls out to her. "Clara princess…… please wake up"

She still didn't answer and that worried Virgil, he gently picked Clara up and carried her back to the house. He walked in through the kitchen, Scott had got up and walked fast following Virgil. Grandma kept Emily with her and started making cookies.

Once in the medical room Virgil put Clara down gently on the bed, Brains got to work in hooking her up to a IV drip, heart monitor and blood pressure monitor.

Virgil put a cover over Clara to warm her up then sat down holding his daughter's hand, Scott also sat down keeping his brother company.

Scott put his hand gently on Virgil's shoulder. "Clara will be ok Virgil, you're doing an amazingly well as their father and only parent"

He smiles while watching his daughter. "Thank you Scott……. I know it's not easy as Clara had been badly mistreated by her mother, and she's also attached to me her father"

Nodding Scott replies. "I know she is but that's because of Amber, I read the file's from the hospital and social worker"

Sighing Virgil looks to Scott. "Clara never had or knew what parental love is, Amber never gave her that, and that's why Clara my precious daughter is attached to me"

He made sure the his daughters were treated right and equally, sometimes Clara need more attention because of how her mother ignored her and mistreated her. It's different with Emily because she got to play with her toys, while her sister was left alone locked in a room with nothing.

Both Virgil and Scott talked and made sure that one of them was by Clara's side. There was a few rescues throughout the day, it was now late and Virgil was drinking his cup of coffee. He was still waiting for Clara to wake up and Virgil hoped that she would be ok.

It was early morning when she woke up, she didn't know where she was. Clara looks to the side and saw her daddy asleep, she felt too weak to move.

She says with a croaky voice. "Da….ddy……daddy?"

He woke at the sound of someone calling out to him. "Clara your awake, how do you feel?"

She looks at her daddy before answering. "Weak and hungry"

Virgil hugged his little girl. "You'll be back to yourself in no time, you just need to get plenty of rest"

After talking to Clara for a little while, she fell back to sleep as she couldn't stay awake. Virgil held her hand and waited for her to wake up again, Scott also came back down to keep his brother company.

Scott asked his brother. "How is Clara doing?"

He sighed before answering. "Physically she's fine but mentally I'm not sure, she will have hidden scars from what Amber did to her……… but I'm going to make sure that Clara knows that she can come and tell me anything"

Scott nods in understanding. "I know you will. And both Clara and Emily can come to the rest of us too"

Virgil knew that Clara would be ok, but she needed time to heal from the hidden scars left behind from what Amber their birth mother did to his daughter.
