A Little Author's note: Hell yes! The story's coming back! It's been almost two years, and I felt like a abandoned you guys. But guess what? I FOUND THE OLD DRAFT FOR CHAPTER 3!! And... It kinda sucked, so I redid it, it's a little better so just bear with me. This is a fifteen year old writing a very OOC story. So now I will turn you to the metting of Koudelka and Elaine...
An Alternate World
Chapter 3
Elaine.
Koudelka took a few steps back. Elaine was heading in her direction. Before Koudelka had a chance to blink, she was standing before her, in a rather sheer top and tight blue pants. Elaine crossed her arms.
"What's wrong, Koudelka? Is James giving you shit again? Because if he is, well...You remember what happened to you-know-who."
Koudelka shook her head. "No, I don't. Who are you talking about?"
Laughing, Elaine placed a hand on Koudelka's shoulder. "Patrick. Remember, he kept trying to get in your pants? If I recall correctly, Patrick and I had a friendly discussion...He was never seen or heard from again."
The thought of what Elaine could have possibly done to Patrick was enough to send shivers down Koudelka's spine. She sighed, nodding. She had to convince Elaine that nothing was wrong."Yeah, I remember. But...don't hurt James. Please, just don't do anything too violent."
Frowning, Elaine moved her hand away from Koudelka's shoulder. "You know what, you really take the fun out of everything. But no Worries, I will talk to him."
Koudelka watched as Elaine went by, shaking. What in God's name is going on?
"So all that we have to do is try to convince mom to right up, right?" asked Halley.
Roger nodded. "In essence, yes.But since she is asleep and such, I am afraid it won't be so easy.But first thing is first, we need to see what I have in my trusted book collection." He moved toward the closest bookshelf, continuing to speak. "We aree going to have to make a potion of some kind that would enable us to talk to her while she is asleep. Then we convince her to wake up, and I can work on producing a duplicate of expirement six again, because stupid me told your mom it was water."
Halley rolled his eyes. "That sounds great and all, Roger, but I still have a question to ask."
"Yeah?"
"If mom is sleeping, how do we get her to drink the potion without trying to drown her? I think we should inject it intravenouosly, rather than try to get her to swallow it in her sleep. What do you think?"
Roger nodded, pulling out a worn book off of the bookshelf. "I knew you were a genius! Well, we will get this mixture together and see where it goes from there."
Edward managed to talk Roger into watching over Halley. When they were gone, he sat down at the kitchen table, staring at Koudelka.
"What is going on today? You're just not acting like yourself."
Koudelka took a deep breath, exhaling heavily. " I, uh...nothing. It's just..." SHe couldn't take it any longer. "Nothing is right, Edward! James and Elaine are supposed to be dead, you're supposed to be gone, and I'm supposed to be taking care of Halley on my own!"
"I know you can see in the future sometimes, but still... Koudelka, you're going a tad bit overboard." Standing up, he walked over to Koudelka, giving her a soft peck on the lips.
For the second time that day, Koudelka had felt chills down her spine. It was a strange feeling. She had not been kissed in a long time. When Edward pulled away, a soft tingling sensation was still lingering on her lips. She smiled.
"Well, uh...Edward, um, I guess...I mean, I may have been a little overboard. I must be tired or something. I can't think straight. I think I need to talk to Roger or something."
"Well, he just left. Maybe we can catch up to him."
Koudelka shook her head. What's gotten into you? You're..different somehow. everything's off. I can't explain it. I..." She took a deep breath. "I..."
"Okay, Halley! I got it! There is one thing that we can do to try and talk with your mom before we actually try to make this antidote."
Halley sat up straight. "Okay, Roger. I'll do whatever you want me to." Halley immediately wished he hadn't said that. He had a habit of making things sound a bit naughty.
Roger didn't respond to the comment. "Halley, did you ever master your telepathy?"
"Of course I did, old fart! What, did you think I was a lazy bum or something?"
Roger smirked. "You, lazy? Who would say such a thing? No, that isn't it. You're too sweet to be lazy."
Halley heard the sarcastic tone. He sighed. "Okay. what do you want to try? No more jokes! I want to get this over with already."
"Use your telepathy to talk to your mother."
Koudelka ran into her room, her face tinted crimson and her heart beating too fast for her to still be alive.
I can't believe it. I told Edward how I felt!
Koudelka could barely breathe. She sat on the bed, trying to relax...
Mom.
Gasping, Koudelka sat up. "Halley?"
It's alright. Roger fucked up and drugged you.
"Drugged me?"
He gave you one of his potions by mistake. If you wake up, everything will be back to normal.
"But I..." Koudelka shook her head.
What's wrong, mom?
"I don't want to go back."
But mom -
"Halley, I don't want talk about this right now. I want to stay here! I..." Koudelka could feel the warm tears rolling down her face. "I love your father, and I can be with him here. I want to be with him forever.
I understand. Try to get ahold of me if anything goes wrong.
koudelka laid back down, frusterated. WHat was she going to do? Before she could stop her tears and steady her breathing, Edward had walked in, locking the door behind him. She tried to hide her face, and Edward moved closer to her, bringing her face up to meet his eyess.
"My cariad, I know you love me; hence the ring on your finger and the anniversary. I love you too. What's really wrong?"
Koudelka sighed." I don't know. I'm going to find some real clothes; these damned sequins are driving me crazy."
