Chapter 3: Invasion
They just finished eating. Clarabelle looked at her watch, and was shocked as she looked at it.
"Oh, hell I gotta get home", Clarabelle said. A little worried
"What? Oh, yes home, OK. Come on.", Raphael said.
They got inside the Bentley and drove away. They got to Clarabelle's house in just 30 minutes.
"See ya' tommorow then. Oh, and tell me what you'll be getting all right?", Raphael said.
"OK", she replied.
Raphael left. Clarabelle rubbed her hands then, the air around her rippled, then lifting her up to her room.
Why does she have powers? As I said, Clarabelle, Raphael, and the others in the story have powers, so get used to it
.
She snuck into her window to see her reflection doing her homework.
- Clarabelle has another reflection to take cover for her while she's gone. Raphael made it appear through a mirror, and used her as a replacement for Clarabelle while she's gone. The reflection has no feelings of it's own. Her parents might look at the "Clarabelle" double as kinda weird. The Clarabelle replacement does what he original Clarabelle does. Go to school, eat dinner with parents, do homework, walk to the bus stop, and al those stuff that 16-year-old girls do. But since Clarabelle started her adventure of fighting "lunatics" who want to conquer the world, or bring back the Dark God, gummpy, she hasnt been a normal girl since then. She thinks that life was boring without fighting bad guys, so. . . She requested a double from Raphael. She is also training to be an elemental. But, unlike Raphael she needs to focus to use her powers. Back to the story. . .
Her reflection said, "Your home early."
"Yep, I am.", the original Clarabelle said.
"I'm doing your math homework. The first 6 questions were easy, but I dont know how to solve the rest."
"I can do it."
"OK. Are you ready to resume your life?", The relection asked.
"Yes"
Then the reflection touched the nearest mirror it could see, when the reflection touched the mirror, it was gone.
The original Clarabelle touched the mirror second after the reflection touched it. Then, a flood of memory came to her. She can remember having dinner with her parents although she wasnt exactly there. It was an odd feeling. Sorta like being at two places at once. But, she was used to it.
She changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Her father was going around the house, as if there was something missing.
Her mother was near the door waiing for her father to come along.
"Hey sweetheart", Gale
(I think it's a good match), a.k.a. Clarabelle's mother exclaimed.
"Hey mom I'm going to the beach", Clarabelle asked.
"OK"
Clarabelle walked for about 5 minutes before reaching the beach. She likes to be alone. She thinks of it as relaxing. In her childhood days, she used to spend most of her time in the beach, catching little crabs, and collecing shells. But, all thatwas over now. Now, she wants to be alone.
But then her father came.
"Hey Clarabelle", Her father said
"Hey dad. Why arent you at work?", Carabelle said.
"I have a meeting this afternoon. But, when I left the house, I left something very important.
"What did you left? Your architect plans or something?"
"Yes, something like that." Then there was a brief silence. Then here dad confessed. "Actually nothing like that. I forgot my underwear."
Clarabelle looked at her dad. "What?"
"It happens sometimes when your doing something that you forget it. Usually it doesnt bother me, but this trousers really really itch-"
"Dad, ew, I dont wanna know", Clarabelle said, disgusted.
"All right. i gotta be going now. I'm gonna get my underwear then get back to work"
"OK dad. Good Luck in your meeting"
Her dad smiles as he walked away. About 4 minutes or so her phone rang.
Clarabelle answered it.
"Hello?", Clarabelle said.
"It's me", Rpahael answered.
"Oh"
"We got bad news"
"What is it?"
"the first bad news is that Revil is already in town. He just murdered 14 sorcerers. And I suspect that he wasnt alone"
"Then whats the other bad news?"
"I ran outta toilet paper."
"What? You called me because you ran out of tolet paper? How is tha bad news?"
"I didnt say it's bad news for you.", Raphael clarified.
"All right. I'll get you your toilet paper. I'll just hail a cab to your place."
"Thank you!"
Then she hung up.
She went back to her house and went directly upstairs. She touched the mirror and here reflection came out.
"Hello", her reflection said.
"I need you to cover for me while I'm gone. Can you do that?"
"It's my job."
"Thanks."
"No problem."
Then Clarabelle slid out of her house, then went to the roof. She rubbed her hands and the air around her rippled and carried her to the ground. Then she walked to the Cab stand and waited for a cab.
She got a cab 4 minutes later. She first stopped to a grocery store and bought a toilet paper, then headed to Raphael's place.
She got to the building and went up 6 floors, then knocked on the door named "Room 621". After a while Raphael opned the door.
"Do you have the toilet paper?", Raphael asked
"Here.", Clarabelle sad as she was handing the toiet paper.
"I'll just do my thing while you wait here."
"OK"
Then Raphael headed to the toilet.
Clarabelle taked a look around. The apartment was perfectly the same as when she last visited. The only thing that changed was the bed sheet. Then she went to the living room and watched some TV. After about 9 minutes someone knocked at the door.
Clarabelle thought to herself who would knock at Raphael's door. As she was walking towards the door, the door smashed into pieces and a man came inside.
"Hello Clarabelle. Am I interrupting something?" The man said
"Revil!", Clarabelle muttered.
Then Raphael ran out of the Restroom and saw Revil.
"Yes. Your interrupting something. I'm making a toilet disposal."
"Oh, Sorry.", Revil said sarcastically, the he launched himself at Raphael.
Raphael dodged the attack, but Revil continued and smashed at the table. The table was smashed.
"Your gonna have to pay for that", Raphael said.
Revil cursed, and got up. Revil got a piece of wood from the table and threw it to Raphael. Raphael dodged the first wood but the second one hit him in the head, and knocked him unconscious. Revil got up and tried to find Clarabelle, but before he could Clarabelle smashed a vase to Revil's head. Revil fell to the ground and tried to get up. He looked at Clarabelle.
"Why you...", he said as he took out a knife from his pocket.
He attacked Clarabelle, Clarabelle dodged 4 slashes from the knife. The 5th caught her knee and she fell.
"Your so weak. Why should I even waste my time killing you?", Revil mocked.
Clarabelle grunted but then looked at Revil just in time to see Revil carry Raphael outside of the room. Clarabelle heard a few sceam from the neighbours. She tried to get up and chase Revil but when she got out, she was too late.
Clarabelle got her phone and dialled a number. Then phone rang for a moment then someone answered.
"Hello?", The man in the phone said.
"Hey Karroth. Revil's got Raphael"
"What?", Karroth siad
"They got Raphael. Listen, Call Marr, then tell her to come to your house. I'll just fix my wound in the office then I'l head ther etoo OK?"
"You have a wound?"
"Duh."
"Just asking. Anyways, I'll do what you ask."
"All right. Thanks. Bye"
Then she hung up the phone. She dialled another number. The Offce's number
The phone rang again for a moment. Then The Head Sorcerer answered.
"Clarabelle, this better be important.", The H.S. said. (H.S. = Head Sorcerer. Remember that from now on)
"Revil's got Raphael"
"What? Where are you?"
"I'm in Raphael's house."
"I'll send someone to pick you up, then i'll send another someone to guide you in finding Raphael."
"How many someones are you going to send?"
"Just wait there.", H.S. said sternly.
"All right."
Then the H.S. hung up the phone.
Clarabelle got out of the building to wait for the "someone" to pick her up.
