We all gasped. It could not be. Without looking at the direction the sound came from, we got our weapons then turned. I gasped. There, in the middle of the room was Zak. "Greetings and Bean Venues Saturdays and... Nicole." Zak said in argost voice. I started to walk toward him but drew pulled me away before I got close enough. "Look." Drew said in a whisper. I looked at where she was pointing and saw there was this strange crypdid in the back of his neck. "What is it?" I asked. Drew shrugged. "It looks like the parasite thing argost usually uses but- (points) - is not like that one. It does have the same effect but looks different and may be more powerful." Drew said.

"Argost is the one controlling him and usually it attaches to someone else." Drew said again. I looked back to zak/argost and tilted my head to the side. Zargost (zak/argost) looked at me and a wicked smile appeared on his face. He charged at me and before I could block, he punched me in my face and I staggered backward, almost crashing into doc. I looked at him and hit him with my sword. Of course I did not hit him with the sharp part. That would have killed him. The handle part is the part of the sword I hit him with. Drew came up behind him and tried to get the crypdid off but could not. And in result of that she got a bad hit to the stomach. Zargost sniggered and started running toward the hall, which lead toward the kitchen. We all ran toward him. He all paused when he saw Zargost grabbing a knife. 'How fun, now it kills.' I thought as Zargost smiled at us, a bloody wicked smile.

"You know I learned something while in this young Saturday's brain. Did you know he is my so wanted treasure, kur?" Drew and doc frowned. "Get out of my son's head, now!" drew yelled at Zargost. Again, Zargost smiled his cold smile. "Well dear I can't do that. You might have noticed this is not my usual neural parasite. I have found this crypdid in a nest full of neural parasites, its superior! The only way this darling can get off your son is by something happens to the young Saturday that has never happened before. Gladly, for me, almost everything has happened to this boy." Zargost said. We all frowned. "And now, just to make sure no one can stop me, I will eliminate you all!" Zargost said with happiness, never a good sign. He first charged at doc, trying to get the strongest one out first. It was going good till Zargost stopped using knifes and started using fists. And poor doc, afraid to hit his dear son failed and got pushed aside. Next came drew but sadly the same results. At least she didn't resist hurting her only son. I, though I wanted to fight so bad waited at the corner. The crypdids went out in a snap, especially komodo.

Zargost looked at me with a demonic smile. He seemed to enjoy bringing misery and pain to the Saturdays. I saw in his eyes three things: confusion (Zak's), anger and a bloodthirsty thrill. "Well I saved the best for last and looky here; you seem to be the last." Zargost said in a casual voice. I scowled at him and grabbed drew's fire sword. "Shall we?" I said. Zargost nodded and charged at me. I barely dodged it, only leaving a scratch with the knife. I put my hand in flames and dropped the sword, time to get this place on fire. Not literally. I ran toward Zargost with my fiery hands aimed at his neck, I don't know why I just did. I almost had him when a sharp pain came to me in my abdomen. I looked and saw the knife that Zargost had in my abdomen, crimson blood flowing from the wound. Zargost smiled at me and held my arm tightly. I tried to pull away when he got the knife and twisted it. More blood poured from the wound and the smell of iron filled my nostrils. "Enjoying the pain are you my dear?" Zargost said in a frightening evil voice. He pushed the knife more into me and swiftly pulled it out. I screamed in pain when he did this and in cause of that he pushed me unto the ground. I landed hard onto the floor and my vision started to blur a bit. I stood up slowly feeling the pain eat all but one emotion in me and replacing it with itself. I walked toward Zargost and remained still waiting for me to make my move.

After a tough struggle walking to him, I finally reached him. I put my hand on my wound to try stopping the blood but after a moment I pulled away. "How-ugh- exactly do we take out this new crypdid of yours" I said innocently. I knew the answer and I knew he was not going to say how. All I did was try to distract him long enough to do what I have planned to do. Zargost chuckled. "Like I will tell you. And even if I did it seems you won't have long to do…" before he can finish I pulled myself toward him and kissed him in the lips. After a moment later I pulled away and fell to the floor. I looked up and saw the crypdid thing was short-wiring and getting itself out of Zak's nervous system. There was a short tiny whine coming from the creature as it let itself go. Zak fell to his knees where regained acknowledgment of where he was. In his hand he still had the knife, red with my blood. Zak looked in my direction and gasped. My vision started to darken and blur as he came toward me. I could feel my body wet with blood and I started to wonder how I was giving so much blood for a stab. Then I understood why when I felt a tingling sensation in my lips, a kiss maybe. The knife argost had was not the Saturday's that much I know. I have been with them long enough to know what they use. It was argost's special tool I am pretty sure was meant for killing. "Nicole! Hold on, help is on the way!" I heard Zak said with the last of everything I had in myself. After those words another kiss came and then nothing. I all I had in my word was two things, the kiss and the words 'hold on.'

Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on…
