Five more days had passed and things aren't going very well.
That escape of Clarion wasjust the begin. She had turned still more rebel than the day she came, causing all kinds of trouble everywhere and to everyone.
She also refused to talk with her friends that time, and just appeared in Sugar Rush the first day after her explosion.
But that day was the last straw to everyone. Everyone in Niceland was trying to rest a little before the Arcade opening, but the noise was so loud that probabily could be heard also outta there. Where the music has been comming? The supposed-to-be-abandoned home of the Cotton Candy twins.
Standing at the front door was the only person still brave enough to try to face the little trouble maker.
Calhoun just knocked the door once, with no reply, she checked if it was locket, but to her surprise the door was open.
The abandoned living room was dark, the music seemed comming from the first floor, probabily from the girl's bedroom, so the Sergeant walked up the stairs.
The door of the bedroom was closed, but surprising unlocked.
She pulled the door a little open, but a dart buried in the wall inches from her face.
"I don't know who is here, but don't move and identify yourself!" A dark voice ordered.
That was certainly Clarion but her voice seemed almost wild.
Calhoun thought for a moment in what to do, she choosed a first steep calm.
"Clar, it's Sergeant Calhoun, can I come in?"
No reply, but in a little time the girl opened the door, she was upside down on the celling, seemed her new boots are gravity ones. The redhead was also holding a blowgun, her hair had blue high-lights, her clothes was a little ripped, but what really surprised Calhoun was the room.
Everything in the room, except for the bed and the radio where the music was comming, was broken or ripped, the floor was covered in marshmallow, paper balls and paper airplanes in the most diferent shapes, but all they knocked down and destroyed by a ink's bombing. All the room was also covered in collored ink dots and the paintball gun who caused that destruction was laying on a corn, also destroyed.
In one of the walls has one paper's sheet, also hit by darts and ink shoots.

What happened there was hard to imagine. Not seemed something a ten years old girl could do. Seemed more than someone had chased, or most possibility been chased, by a Cy-Bug on there. But the fact the bed and the radio being intact was a good sign someone was responsible by that destruction, and this someone can't be another one than the girl in front of her.
"What happened here?" The Sergeant asked angry at the girl.
Clarion shrugged, a strange gesture from her position. So she used the wall to back to the ground.
"It happens everytime I get locket in somewhere." She explained.
"All this noise too?"
Clarion not replied, but looked at the ground. Calhoun walked over and turned the radio off, but the girl snapped her fingers and the radio turned on again.

"You have no right to keep people awake just because you do not want to sleep." She turned it off again.

"And you have no right to tell me what to do." This time the radio turned on alone.

This time Calhoun lost her temper and shoot the radio.

"Now everything is completely destroyed." Clarion smiled, as if simply not had the courage to throw the radio out the window or do anything else to destroy it.

That moment Calhoun realized what was going on.
"So, you was waiting me to come?"
"Of course no!" The girl quickly defended herself.
But she certainly was. The noise was just to attract attention, and it was why both doors are unlocked and why the girl let her in.

"So what is your excuse for all this noise? You're disturbing a lot of characters, some of them very tired and needing a break."
"And another doing the best to keep her mind in good terms." Clarion added.
"It's no excuse for you to disturb the others. I can't understand what is your problem girl. When you turned so selfish, authoritary and rebel?" Calhoun was still mad with the girl.
"I was still three. It was the only way I survive on the streets or you is the most poweful or you're death. I learned to take care and defend myself the best I could and still better when I grew up. I learned to don't trust anyone and keep even an eye attent to every look, every gesture, every sound, every single detail around me." Clarion was now in the middle of the room, turned back to Calhoun and looking trhough the window, arms crossed and her unexpressive expression was turning a sad one. Remember her old life was hard to her. "Once I made a friend and for a time I feel my life was perfect, but I began to distract myself, and the first time I let to watch everything and everyone around a man almost kidnapped us, we run away but got lost in a uncognized part of the city. We are hungry, with no money and found not a single good soul to help us, I tried to steal food, we was caught by the cops. Luckly for her, her parents was one of them, but unlucky to everyone, we were being following for a gang and so I saw myself caught in a shooting. I had to knock a cop and fight a lot to run away, not before I get it" she put a hand on her shoulder "to remember me to never neglect again, and to never trust anyone."
Now she was trying to hold the tears. "So you all appeared in my life and I began to trust people again, I began to relax a little, and you saw what happened. Now the scar it left was not visible, but still hurt me so much. Why life is so hard? I just wished be able to understand." Clarion finally turned to face her, tears sliding down her face.
The little girl walked away and sat down on the border of the bed, face hidden in her hands, silently crying. That felling was new to Calhoun. Know someone passed for experiences so simillar to her's and still have nightmares, afraid to a new fail. She sighed and sat down at the girl's side and passed a comforming arm around her shoulders, bringing her close.

"I just... I'm afraid all this could be just a dream and so I woke up back to my old life or worst... After so many years is hard to believe that hope can exist."
She passed a little more in silence 'till she began to sing:

"Sometimes you think
you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish
That you mak all alone"

Clarion began to whip off the tears

"Is easy to feel
Like you don't need help
But is harder to walk on your own."

She looked up at Calhoun for a moment, so turnedd back to the window.

"You'll change inside
When you reallize

The world comes to life
And everything is right
From beginning to end
When you have a friend by your side
That helps you find
The beauty in you own
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend."

Clarion forced a slight smile.
"Sorry for it. I..." But she stopped when heard Calhoun's voice.

"Someone who knows
Whenyou're lost and scared
And there through the highs and the lows
Someone you can count on
Someone who cares
Besides you whenever you'll go."

"You know, I never imagined you siging." The girl comented softly.
"An I never imagined you crying this way."
"I think we have a lot to learn." Clarion laughed.

"You'll change inside"

The redhead began again.

"When you reallize"

Calhoun replied. So the two back to sing together:

"The world comes to life
And everything is right
From beginning to end
When you have a friend by your side
That helps you find
The beauty in your own
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend

And when your hope
Crashes down
Shattering to the ground, you
You feel all alone
When you don't know
Which way to go
And there's no signs
Leading you home
You're not alone.

The world comes to life
And everything is right
From beginning to end
When you have a friend by your side
That helps you find
The beauty in your own
When you open your heart
And believe in
The gift of a friend."

"I think you're right." Clarion finally sighed. "I should give myself a second chance. Maybe I can find a way."

"You're the bravest girl I even knew. I know you will find."
Calhoun stood up and walked towards the door, but stopped when she heard the girl's voice.
"Are you going to leave me here alone?" Clarion innocently asked.
The Sergeant just launched a side look to her.
"Are you admiting you needs me?"
"A little." The little girl chuckled nervous, looking down. After some seconds she sighed and looked back at the eldest. "I'm afraid she come back, it's why of the loud music."
"Who?"
"The voice. I heard it since I was four... Since she came. Now she keep saying scarying things and I don't want to heard, I just want it to go away."
"It's her? Kitty?"
"I dunno, but she scares me a lot. But she go away when you're around. I know I was acting like an idiot the whole week, I just wanted to try to put things back to normal, but it's impossible. I'm not used to it. Situations that usually normal for humans to make me upset because I'm just not used to it. My life has always been different, and suddenly everything changed. To better perhaps, but still it is difficult to me. Thank you for staying with me Sergeant."

"It is not wrong to feel a little scared from time to time. And you're still young, has much to live for, so much to learn. Need not be ashamed to ask for help if you need it."

"Want me to stay here until you sleep? Just to be sure?"

"I do not want to bother anyone. I can handle it."

"But I will stay, just to me to be sure."

In a few minutes they were both completely asleep.

When Tamora woke up the next morning the girl had disappeared. The smell of pancakes and chocolate coming from downstairs, so she went down.

But wasn't Clarion who was in the kitchen but Felix.

"Good morning, dear!" He greeted cheerfully.

"Where is Clar?"

"She and James were for Sugar Rush earlier today. Clarion will be back soon."

"And you prepared the breakfast here?"

"It was Clar. She is so sweet and helpful at times. Guess you did well to be here for her. The only thing she said when I mentioned something about kids in the kitchen, was thatshe aren't a normal girl and to let her free enough."

"And she is right. Let her free, she will be better soon enough, she just need time, and a helping hand one or other time."

And that was the beginning of a new life to everyone, but peace wasn't going to be so easy, no one could even imagine what was going to happen next day.
