Chapter 4
James had begun running after his phone call with Kendall.
"Why wouldn't he tell me what was wrong?" He yells as he crosses the street
"What could be so bad that Kendall couldn't tell me over the phone?" James is only a few blocks away from the Palm Woods and his friends.
The three boys entered the lobby all sweaty.
"Do you see her anywhere?" Asks Logan
"No and I don't see James anywhere!" Replies Carlos "What if she took James!" He cries
"No one took James guys"
Both boys turn towards their friend,
"James is probably almost here" Says Kendall a smile on his face.
Both Logan and Carlos seemed to feel slightly normal after hearing Kendall give them another one of his famous speeches.
The three boys had begun smiling and laughing as if nothing was wrong, but soon after, realization hit each and every one of them and they all sat down quietly, waiting for James.
Nancy had quickly realized she was locked in the wrong boy's bedroom, but she knew there was always other ways out. She had found the rooms air vent and happily climbed inside, heading straight for the three boys talking in the kitchen. She heard their phone conversation with James, and she now knew that her plan had become a race, she quickly headed towards the lobby, exited the vent, and was lying in wait for James to return, and this time, she made sure she had the duct tape.
James had just made it to the Palm Woods entrance when the strange girl who had tackled him earlier popped out from behind a bush, she attempted to pull James to the ground, but this time he had the upper hand and kicked her in the chest making her wince in pain and fall to the ground. James quickly opened the entrance door when his feet were pulled out from under him and James went crashing down face first on to the concrete.
Logan, Carlos, and Kendall were about to call James again when they saw their tall friend open the door to the Palm Woods, they all stood up and stared as Nancy appeared from behind him and pulled James's feet backwards causing him to fall.
"James!" All three boys yelled in unison as they all quickly ran to their fallen friend's aid.
"Logan you check on James!" Yelled Kendall, as he tackled and held Nancy in his arms.
"Get the heck off me!" She growled as she was kicking and began punching Kendall anywhere she could.
"Carlos help me!" yelled Kendall, Carlos quickly jumped into action and grabbed Nancy's flailing feet as Kendall grabbed hold of her arms holding them pinned to her sides.
"How's James?" Asked Carlos
Logan was petrified, yes he's the one who wanted so badly to be a doctor, but he always cracked when under pressure and seeing James, one of his three best friends, laying there unconscious was definitely a stressor.
"James is fine, he's just out cold" Responds Logan
"Well wake him up!" Yelled Kendall as Nancy began struggling even harder.
Logan just stared at Kendall, but he knew he was right, there was no way Logan could carry James, he nudged and shook James hoping the pretty boy would open his eyes.
"James come on" he said as he began shaking his friends entire body "Wake up!" James slowly came too, his eyes fluttering open to Logan's worried face.
"Logan?" he groggily asks
"Yeah James, it's me" He says offering his hand to James who reluctantly begins to stand; he turns to see Kendall and Carlos restraining his attacker.
"What is going on?" He asks his friends then he turns towards Nancy "Why do you keep attacking me?!" He asks angrily.
Nancy just stares back at James a sly smile raising her lips. "Because your mine" She says as she lunges out of Kendall's grip.
"James, run!" Yells Kendall
James quickly turns and runs through the Palm Woods door, Nancy not far behind, and Kendall, Logan, and Carlos in hot pursuit.
Nancy could tell by the way James was running that he was delirious and seriously dizzy, she knew she would be able to catch up to him no problem, but then how would she get him back to her apartment? She had to figure out a plan, she needed to lure James into a trap.
James had reached the door to his apartment by the time he realized Nancy was no longer chasing him.
"Where did she go?" If there was one thing he knew it was that Nancy was a psycho and wouldn't stop until she had him.
He quickly entered the apartment and locked the door behind him. James knew that his hair was a mess, but whose hair wouldn't be when a crazy psycho attacks you? He quickly walked into the bathroom in search of his lucky comb.
"That's weird" He states as his lucky comb has vanished from its rightful spot "Where is it?" He asks as he tears through the kitchen cabinets "Where is my LUCKY COMB!?"
Angrily James sits down on the couch his hair still a mess he attempts to run his fingers through the snarls. "My hair is lifeless" He states sadly, and then he remembered the first time he had met Nancy; he'd run into her and she tackled him in the hallway.
"I must have dropped it in the hallway!" Yells James as he unlocks the door and peers outside.
"No Nancy in sight" James smiles and heads out to find his lucky comb.
Kendall, Logan, and Carlos had chased Nancy all around the Palm Woods until they lost her when she hopped in the elevator, the boys decided to head back to the apartment to stay with James.
"So how are we going to do this?" Asks Logan "This girl is obviously crazy"
"We are going to protect James" States Kendall
"And how are we supposed to do that Kendall? Are we all going to take turns being on James Watch?" Asks Logan
"If that's what we have to do then we will" Responds Kendall as they reach the apartment door and entering the home.
"Guys something's wrong" Says Carlos
"James?" Says Kendall, all boys stare and run in separate directions in search of their missing friend.
James had been through six different hallways and still couldn't find his lucky comb, James was never one to give up, but he was seriously having doubts about finding his lucky comb. Defeated he decides to head back to the apartment when he sees a small black object on the floor.
"There's no way I walked right past it" says James he slowly looks around to see if anyone was around. "Huh guess I did walk right past"
James bends down to pick up the object when he realizes something; he's never been on this floor until now. He quickly jumps back as the apartment door he's kneeling in front of opens to reveal a very happy looking Nancy.
"Wow that worked faster than I thought" States a smiling Nancy as she grabs a hold of James's shirt and pulls him inside.
