Twelfth piece of the broken cage: I'm bigger than my body

Diana looked over to Tia who was laughing her ass off on the floor ... Near the countertop stood Clark who wore a very unimpressed look on his face because Tia had recently decided to start her pranks which meant a huge level of anxiety to fall upon Clarks shoulders.

This time Tia had made a cake that had a small harmless bomb inside it and as Clark had taken a bite from the flesh of the small chocolate cake it had exploded on his face making every piece splash against the surface of his already brown skin.

Diana pressed her lips against each other to hide her grin as much as she could.

" Yo! Admit it! It was just amazing! AHAHAH ! "

Clark glared harder at the girl on the floor who held her stomach as laughter vibrated out of her open mouth. Tears were peaking at the corner of her icy blue eyes, it would be the truth today that ever since Clark had shown up, Tia had been laughing more. The happiness in the air made all of Clark's anger disappear

He smirked as all the fun bled out of him.

Hearing Clark's laughter made Diana burst into a wholesome atmosphere as well

It was almost as if everything was okay. Nothing was wrong and happiness had meant was a cycle of life somehow .... Even in the darkest moments, happiness could be found.

2 weeks before Julia came

______________________________________________

Life had ups and downs, but to some people, who didn't have a life to live .....things were even more difficult.

There are some points of life that people break down to tears or sometimes be completely drained from everything.

Life was cruel to some and a whole new level of heaven to others ...

He closed the book with an amused sigh as he got up from his seat near the window of the library

The big room filled with books was his only salvation from insanity.

He had been walking on that thin thread between sanity and insanity

His legs were hurting from getting up every time he so much as slipped. Holding onto that thread had become harder over the years

Patience .... Cruel to some, an angle to others.

Luck.....it jumped from a mountain to a hill and then to nowhere to be seen ...

The door closed with loud noise as the cracking of the woods beneath his feet was echoed threw out the empty castle...The tall windows had their curtains to cover their naked bodies...

The vessels painted the earth a deep rosy red color ... His favorite...

Blood had a good taste it's only the first try that hurts ... When you take the second sip you would soon become addicted to the metal empty taste it left on your tongue ... He wondered sometimes if death tasted like blood ...

As he gazed down on his kingdom ... His empire.

Power was hard to get ...and harder to hold

He gave a low smile ... Mine

" Julia ?! "

The soaked girl looked barely over fifteen. ..

Her wild green eyes were screaming help

" C_ Clark .....H_help...._p_,p_ please... "

Her teeth were chattering together as he moved to gather the bony girl in his arms.

She fisted her shaking fingers in his white shirt and hurried her head in the space between his neck and shoulder.

Before he knew it the poor girl had fallen unconscious in his strong arms

Clark closed the door and held the girl bridal style as he rushed up the stairs to one of the locked rooms.

Tia and Diana had come out of their hidden place the moment he had closed the door.

Tia, upon seeing the girl's face had gone even paler as she helped the man to place the girl on soft sheets of the bed.

Diana had stood motionless on the side of the room before, Tia asked her to run a hot bath in the bathroom.

Diana had moved to the tiny bathroom as soon as she was asked

She had seen the girl somewhere ....it was on the photo on Clark's desk.

The same girl who was hugging Wasn't to her chest with one of the biggest smiles on her small face.

She had to be the same person because of how both Tia and Clark had acted.

Diana could only hope nothing happened to her.

______________________________________________

It was near two in the morning when Tia had finally placed Julia on her bed after running a bit bath for her and changing her into soft cloths she knew Clark had saved for their young friend.

Tia looked over at Diana who was sitting on the chair near the neat desk in Julia's room

It would stay as neat after Julia woke and started to move around. The girl was a ball of energy, she couldn't stay in the same place for too long and be always moving around. She dyed her hair from blond to green to blue to pink to purple to all different colors of existence.

The rock n roll t-shirts she owned and the black shorts she seemed to love were neatly folded in her closet near the wooden desk that had her collection of CDs witch were only plays.

Her computer still running even after years.

Clark had shown great care towards all of their rooms

Tia had been surprised to know that even after five years her room had still been cleaned.

Did they call him the dad of the gang for a reason right?

______________________________________________

Julia was a nice girl... That much was obvious by the way she had smiled at Diana when she had first woken from two days of sleeping

Her green eyes had a warm tone to it. It got soft when she smiled and her even greener hair had some shine to it.

The flush on her cheeks showed more of her freckles witch were on her high cheekbones

The day she had woken, was ....to be honest .. surprisingly sunny

It hadn't stopped raining in over three years and it was as if the sky had somehow shown some mercy so far. The soft-looking clouds were resting on the baby blue eyes as they shone brightly when the light of the newborn sun went upon them.

" Are you going to tell us why you were soaked and like .....that when you first arrived here? "

They were in the living room and Julia had snuggled close to Diana. Her green head resting on her shoulders as they both were under the soft covers. It had been only two days but she had grown fond of the small girl. Her weird Sense of humor made even her laugh out loud.

Julia went rigid the second she heard what Tia asked Her green eyes were frozen on the spot just over Tia's shoulder. Diana felt her swallow hard as she struggled to get up and sit on the cozy couch.

Diana could still remember how her h felt like ...before it got destroyed though ...

" The....the Black Hunters ..."

The warm atmosphere got a hundred degrees lower as Clark clenched his hands in fists.

Diana though looked over at the small girl in her arms

She was a Gifted too?

Seemed like she had said it out loud because Julia slowly nodded beside her shoulder.

" I can bend the woods and curl them and do all the stuff as long as it's wood I'm dealing with "

Diana slowly nodded to acknowledge her.

Julia continued.

" I live in California as you know so I was coming to NYC to stay for a few days ...and ...well ...to see you guys... I didn't know you'd be here too Tia ...and I never thought id meet you Diana ...I was in the street coming towards the jungle area when I was almost caught the keyword being caught I managed to twist them around and ran here as fast as I could rain was already falling and by the time I finally reached here ... I was soaked to my deepest bone. .."

The whole time Julia had come closer to Diana and had taken a hold of her red shirt

" I...I'm really glad you were home after the....you know ... I didn't think you'd keep this place .. "

" This place has way more memories of all of us than how I wanted to sell it out ... I couldn't .. "

Clark was sitting near the window And he was looking out of the window, staring at the glaring sunset overlooking the cold ocean.

" I'm glad you didn't .... "

Diana knew that besides Tia no one cared about her as much as she So selfishly wanted them to care.

But in all honesty, she didn't want Clark to sell that mansion.

It had been around 2 months since she had been staying there but, the place seemed to make its people love it.

Tia smirked from where she was sitting near the fireplace

Clark looked at her with wide brown eyes before slowly nodding his head.

The smile on his lips curling around the edges.

Diana felt Julia snuggle closer ...

The four of them were sitting around the table all together ...

" Can we watch a movie ?.."

Julia hopefully asked from the corner of her collarbone.

Tia looked over to Clark who stood up from his position with a chuckled before going to the CD section to pick up a movie ...

Will had dragged Jay to the nearest bathroom as soon as Jay had stopped saying that he was okay as sitting on the porcelain toilet top as will tried to find the first aid kit he had in his room.

"Well I'm fine ... They aren't even that deep."

Wil gave a heated glare from over his shoulders to glare with blue eyes that were so similar to his

" If you think that lying to me after all these years is a good idea, then I assure you, Jay, 're wrong. "

The bruised boy behind him snorted as she shifted on his aching muscles to sit properly on the small top

" I have to be stupid if I was thinking of lying to the golden boy...."

" Don't call me that. "

" Aren't you though"

Will closed the counter with a little too much force and took a deep breath. He turned around and kneeled before his brother to bandage his bloody hands and arms

" Nobody's perfect, and I, as a human have flaws .."

There was a pregnant silence in the huge bathroom as Will put some lotion on Jay's hands and arms before bandaging them.

" You're right HUMANS have flaws, but we aren't human's tools. We don't get to have flaws. "

Will stopped working on his arms and felt his ...

" Being Gifted doesn't make you anything less than any human ...."

" It's not what the queen thinks ...."

Will stepped away from Jay as both brothers gazed at each other with the same dark oceans, same secrets but with different purposes, the same alert gess are born to be ruled ... But if we are more than humans .. then what is our fate "

what's a mob to a king, what's a king to a god. but what's a god to a non-believer?
