Chapter 4: Making It Better

Bobby invited Mark and Courtney to join him and Loor for dinner that night. Courtney and Mark sat across the table from them. Loor was glaring at Courtney. Courtney wasn't paying any attention. Sha was flirting with Mark. Courtney finally noticed Loor and turned away from her. Mark and Bobby exchanged worried looks and made an excuse to go do something upstairs.

"Chetwynde." Loor said, trying to intimidate Courtney. Courtney was at her best under pressure. "Loor." She retorted. "I am so glad my Bobby dumped you." Loor said. Courtney smiled. "Me too. Mark was a better choice anyway." She said. Loor scoffed. She leaned forward and stared Courtney in the eyes. Courtney did the same. "You don't scare me Chetwynde." Loor said. "Neither do you." Courtney replied. "Don't hate me because I kept you from your little Bobby for too long." Loor shook her head. "Okay. I won't." They heard footsteps and looked at the stairs.

Mark and Bobby were standing there watching them. Mark walked over to Courtney and pulled her to her feet. "Courtney?" He asked. Courtney's angry eyes softened and she looked into his. "Yes?" She asked. "Would you like to go for a walk?" Mark asked. Courtney nodded and Mark grabbed her hand. He pulled her outside.

Bobby walked over and sat next to Loor with his hand on the back of her chair. "I have a surprise for you." He whispered in her ear while running his fingers through her hair. Loor smiled. "Come on. I'll show you." He stood up. Loor took his hand and stood up as well. "Don't worry. You will love it." Bobby said. He pulled her out of the door and walked down the road.

Spader was relieved to see Aja was waiting for him a little down the road. "It took you long enough. I was on my way to the flume." She said. Spader smiled. "The only way you are going to get into that flume is if I take you. But I am taking you to the park. Bobby and Mark want to make their girlfriends feel better so they set up something special at the park. They asked if we want to go." He said. Aja smiled weakly. "Well..." She started. "No. Hush up and come with me." He grabbed her hand and pulled her down the road as well in the cold night.

Mark stopped in front of a tree and smiled at Courtney. "Close your eyes." He whispered. She did. He pulled her farther and stopped.

Bobby stopped in front of a tree and smiled at Loor. "Close your eyes." He whispered. She did. He pulled her farther and stopped.

Spader stopped in front of a tree and smiled at Aja. "Close your eyes." He whispered. She did. He pulled her farther and stopped.

The three guys gave each other encouraging looks and let go of the gilrs' hands. (They had planned the whole thing.) Each girl opened their eyes and gasped. The whole park was illuminated by small white lights. There was a water fountain in the center of the circular area. The grass was wet with dew. Bobby grabbed Loors hand and pulled her next to the fountain. "Would you like to dance?" He asked. Loor smiled. "Yes." She whispered. Mark did the same with Courtney. Spader with Aja.

Mark turned on the stereo and slow music began to play. Mark rejoined Courtney and everyone danced. "Bobby." Loor said with her head on Bobby's chest. "Yeah?" He asked. "Nothing. I just wanted to sat your name." She said and closed her eyes. Bobby smiled and looked around. Aja was smiling at Spader. Courtney was twirling her finger in a patch of Mark's hair.

"Sorry to spoil your evening." Said and horrible and familiar voice. Bobby quickly looked behind him. Evil above all Evil was standing close by. His ice blue eyes burned into Bobby's. "What are you doing here?" Bobby asked pushing Loor behind him.

Saint Dane laughed. "Why I am always somewhere." He replied. Bobby glared at him. "Loor. Go with Courtney and Aja. Take them to Zadaa. I want you out of here." Bobby whispered. He felt Loor's hand on his shoulder. "Bobby, no. I want to stay with you." She cried. Bobby shook his head. "No. Now go." He ordered. Aja pulled her away from him and Courtney followed.

Spader, Mark, and Bobby all looked at Saint Dane. "I am afraid you will never see your loves again." Saint Dane said while pulling out a whistle. Bobby glared at it and all of a sudden new what he was going to do. "He is going to call the quigs." Bobby whispered to the others. "What are the quigs on this dimension, mate?" Spader asked. "Vicious dogs." Bobby answered. "What is a dog?" Bobby sighed at Spader's lack of knowledge. "Something bad." He whispered. Mark stepped back a little.

Saint Dane blew the whistle. They heard horrible barking and growling. Bobby looked around to see they were surrounded by horrible dogs. "Uh-oh." He said to himself. Mark nodded in agreemant. A dog jumped at Bobby. But it automatically stopped in mid air and was thrown to the ground by a dark figure. "Loor!" Bobby yelled. Loor smiled at him. "You didn't expect me to stay hidden, did you?" She asked. Bobby shrugged and joined her to stop the quigs.

Once the quigs were gone, so was Saint Dane. "Hobey! Where did he go now?" Spader yelled. Bobby looked around. No sign of the demon. He sighed and walked over to Loor. "Are you all right?" He asked hear. She nodded but didn't look it. She was bitten on the leg. "Hold still. I am taking you to the hospital." He picked her up without asking ad carried her off.
