Doug sighed as he watched Clara walk away. There is nothing I can do stop her. Its like she's hooked up to jumper cables... He huffed out a breath, and stood infront of the younger ones. Doug's arms are crossed, staring into the distance at nothing truly. He was just thinking. How could she just... leave? His jaw was clenched as he stared into the rain.

It didn't take too long for Clara to return. He hugged Clara graciously and said, "That's great." and he smiled. Doug noticed that there was a boy with her. That sudden overprotective urge came over Doug as he tried to act bigger and stronger by standing up straighter and puffing out his chest. The other boy was at least two years older then him. Clara told them that they had found a ride to Easthaven. Doug was only worried about how wet Clara was, she could get sick... Doug frowned as he grabbed the suitcase and picked it up with ease. He took note on how excited Natalie looked and how bored Flynn looked. Doug sighed. "So we're hitching a ride on a circus train... seems like the plot for a bad book..." He muttered under his breath, then looked over a Zach, as Clara had called him. "Lead the way then, Zach," Doug said as he held the suitcase over his shoulder, and nodded to him. He actually wanted to see what a circus train was like. Doug pretty much knew he was going to have to work in some way. probably to clean up after the show or something. Well, at least there is some place dry for them to stay... Doug looked at his siblings as he walked.
