11 eleventh piece of the broken cage: mirror mirror on the wall

Chapter 11

Tia took a deep sigh, she had never seen Diana this angry before ...after Adrian had gone she had just drained completely No reaction would come out of her and Tia could still remember the way her dull eyes would stare blankly at the small photograph on her pale wall

This Diana was full of emotion she was huffing and puffing; pacing around her bed as she bit her thumb's nail and cursed under her breath

" I mean, how can he even be Williams BROTHER ?! "

that....threw Tia off gourd .... Williams brother?

" You mean Jay ? ... "

" the exact mother fucker! "

Tia blinked hard at the wall and tried as hard as she could not laugh at her friend's red face.

Diana had her hands on her hips and the heated glare in her golden eyes had flames come out of them.

The way her cheeks were a rosy shade of red was even funnier.

What made the whole thing even more hilarious was that Jay of all people had made her this pissed off

Although Diana had but still

" Well D, I know he's a piece of shit but what exactly did he do? "

Tia was curious after five years of Diana only showing sadness as a way of explaining her emotions, Tia wanted to know WHAT jay had done to make her the way she was.

Diana froze on her spot. The flames in her eyes were replaced by panic and the way her shoulders tensed at her question, made Tia even more suspicious.

" H_ he's .... Just a jerk ....it's all .. "

Tia raised an eyebrow. There was a knowing look on her sharp face. The scar on her left eyebrow was slightly raised with the movement she gave her muscle.

" He IS a jerk. "

Diana only nodded sharply. Her chin almost touched her collarbone.

Her golden eyes were spinning around the large room where it used to belong to Sandy.

Tia sensed her friend's discomfort and tried to change the topic of their long-lasted conversation

" You know Adrian used to be good friends with William"

The frown on Diana's face turned into a soft smile when he said her brother's name.

" Were they? ....you know, friends ? "

Tia nodded slowly as she raised and gesticulated her to follow.

They moved past the bedrooms that had their knobs locked to the core, hiding the many secrets inside.

Diana had once tried to open one of them but was caught by no other than Clark who calmly told her to don't open the locked doors in his house.  She couldn't look at him in the eye after that for weeks.

The painting and portraits that were hung neatly on the golden and yellow walls of the house gave a better view of the narrow corridor.

The entire place looked more like an institute rather than a house.

The rain was padding over the enormous windows again. She had no idea how many times she had followed the path of each drop as they ran the marathon of going to the railers. 

She was lost in thought when Tia stopped and she bumped into her back.

Tia looked over at her shoulder to glance at her.

Her icy blue eyes were shining in the dull light of the morning. From the angle, Diana could see the lines of worry on her plate scared face.

" This room ....is Adrian's. "

Diana took a sharp breath as her eyes winded. She looked at the long wooden door.

Tia opens the door and went inside.

" C'mon what are you waiting for? "

Diana bit her bottom lip and took a step inside the large room.

The walls were filled with books just as she had assumed. The window in the middle of each wall had drops of the sky on them.

There was a queen bed on the side of the room near the nightstand that had an old book on top of it.

She went to the bed and looked at the book. It was half-read and there was a flash inside the middle of it showing that her brother had been reading it.

She held the book in her arms and turned towards Tia, who was leaning against one of the walls and staring out of the window.

" Can .... Can I take the book? "

Tia just smiled.

" The book is your brothers I don't know.  "

With a shrug, she moved to get out of the door but Diana's voice stopped her.

" Can you tell me about your .... Whatever you guys were before .... You know.   "

The attack ...

It was a bitter topic and everyone avoided as much as possible ...

Tia looked blankly at the polished floor.

" We ... We'll talk about that later okay? "

The hurt look in Tia's icy blue eyes made her heart clench. 

Diana gave a tight smile and nodded.

Tia left. .. her steps were heard by the crying floor ...

Sometimes Diana looked at the blooded streets and thought that earth was always strong and powerful. It kept everyone together and didn't let anyone fall off of it ... But seemed like it was weak at some point.

That's the problem with being strong ...no one asks if you're okay.

Clark took a deep breath and left it out. His office was large enough to fit an elephant.

It had become lonely. 

The photograph that was in front of his desk peaked at his eyesight.

The riped part on the photo broke the memorial of his mind.

the three traitors...

The ones that had broken everything apart.

Three broken people who mend their broken pieces together and built a whole kingdom of Their flesh and blood.

But left the people behind.

You can't become a king if there isn't someone to call you that.

" Will? ....can you read me a story ? "

The man looked up from the mountain of papers on his desk to glance at the young scared face, that was peaking from the little open space of his door.

Scared baby blue eyes showed innocence too brightly in the dark.

Will swallowed as he looked down at the papers again ... With a sigh, he got up from his chair and walked towards the girl who was smiling then.

Well as long as she was smiling and happy, it was okay to not sleep one more night right?

He crouched down and scooped his sister in his arms and walked to her room.

The dark corridor seemed larger at night .... Full of more secrets .....full of many more screams.

Sandy had placed her head on his shoulder and was dozing out...

He passed their mother's room and finally reached Sandy's.

The lightning was whipping the sky making it scream as its flesh was torn open ..  the light showing through the thin curtain.

Some sounds were able to be heard from the rooftop ...

As he placed Sandy in her bed and took her favorite happy ending book in his hands.

He wanted, almost desperately to be able to sleep just like her, without fear of darkness ... Without the fear that if he closed his eyes even for just a second everything would fall apart.

Dreams could become nightmares in a single moment...

Just like how a boy could turn into a man in a single nightmare ...

The demon was once an angel too ... And he used to be God's favorite...

Another lightning strike and Sandy jumped up high in the air, she covered her small shaking body under the blankets and looked up at him with her huge scared blue eyes.

"Is sky mad at earth again? ... "

Will gave her a tired smile, he could feel his eyes slowly drop ..... exhaustion would do that to you.

"yes and no ....you know when I told you that sometimes people will become mad and shout at others? it's simply the exact thing that is happening between earth and the sky. It'll pass sweetie, it'll be over before you know it ..you close your eyes and ....just sleep. "

She still had the same look on her small features.

With a sigh, he sat down on the edge of the bed and rubbed her blackhead.

Sandy leaned into his hand as soon as it touched her cheek.

" Will? .....are you gonna go again ? "

There was a look of fear and sadness in her blue depths.

He wanted to tell her that he wasn't gonna go, he wanted so desperately to tell her that everything was going to be okay and that after a night full of the storm a good morning would come up ....but it's already been five years.....just when did the sun want to raise up

" We'll talk about that later ....sleep for now. It's late ."

Sandy snuggled closer to him until her head was resting on his lab comfortably.

" don't go ....don't leave me with her again. please"

Will closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

" I'm not going anywhere "

will be still in his suits white bottom-up t-shirt and back pants. The sleeves were up to his forearm

Sandy had completely abounded her pillow and had seriously decided to just sleep on top of him. GED ... Will rested his head against the wall and pressed to fingers to his temples.

His headache had gone worse as the day started to end. weights of weight pills to stay up just so that he could finish his work, we're finally catching up to him.

Sandy's room was really warm and comfortable ....each breath he took made him even sleepier until he started to see black spots dance in his vision.

Just a couple of minutes... That was all of the sleep he needed.

______________________________________________

It was in the middle of Their dinner that they heard the door being banged to death.

Tia was intensity alert as she went up to the stairs, dragging a complaining Diana with her.

Clark was at the door the second they were hidden in a room.

Slowly he opened the large thing to the cold stormy weather of the night ... What he saw being the door shook him to an awhile new level.

They're outside of it was a girl with green hair and even greener eyes. She was soaked to her last bone, Her eyes were puffy from crying and the way her body shook from cold threw him off gourd as he closed and opened his mouth ...

" J...Julia? ..."

______________________________________________

Will closed the door to Sandy's bedroom as slowly as he could to not wake his sleeping sister. He had gotten maybe half an hour of sleep before jerking awake.

He took steps to go to his office to continue with his work.

It was maybe 4 in the morning, just as he came down the stairs he heard the front door open.

His ears perked and he turned to see who could still be out there in the horrible weather and This late ....he could already guess but oh well.  

Jay had his jacket over his shoulder and his raven hair had been glued to his head by the sharp rain. He was wearing nothing but jeans and a thin black t-shirt. His entire body was shaking from cold as his pale long fingers tried to lock the door behind him.

Will wanted to leave him alone ....Jay usually became extremely moody when he came back home late or if he couldn't control his lack of emotions over his body.

His skin had new cuts on them and new bruises to pain his already damaged body.

Sometimes William was worried that maybe Jay wanted to die.

In the end, his brother instincts won over him as he called.

" Jay ?....are you okay? "
