Chapter 6
The Horrible Night
The moon could barely be seen in the night sky, but a little bit of its light still managed to cast its light in the room of the four monks. Its light shone in the room of a particular monk, as she was sleeping soundly, nothing disturbing her sleep until… A horrible, screeching scream pieced the night air, echoing along all the corridors of the temple and waking up all of the occupants except one. A boy sleeping quite peacefully with his teddy bear tucked between his arms. The other three monks however were roused from the scream and headed over to the sleeping boy's room. There the girl knocked on the door hoping that the boy would open it. When he didn't open the door or so much as make a response, she kicked the door down. She trudged into the room with the other two monks behind her and yelled, "Raimundo!"
Raimundo groaned, turned over in his bed and weakly mumbled, "Go away Kimiko."
Kimiko moaned and replied, "Didn't you hear the screaming."
Raimundo slowly lifted his head and mumbled, "What screaming?"
Kimiko's face had started to flush crimson with anger as she gritted her teeth and answered, "The screaming that was going on a few minutes ago before I came into your room."
Raimundo groaned and said, "Great, I had a feeling that this would happen."
"That, what would happen?" Clay asked.
"That Selina would start screaming at random times during the day to annoy everyone here and to express to us that she doesn't want to be here," Raimundo responded.
"Well then why didn't you wake up when she started to scream?" Questioned Clay.
Raimundo looked at Clay through his sleepy eyes and said, "Well, when you've grown up with a girl like Selina for about seven years, then you tend to ignore some of her annoying habits like this one."
"You mean that you have actually heard her scream before?" Questioned Omi in disbelief.
Uhh…Yeah I've heard her scream before. The last time I heard her scream when we were traveling to the future by that blue light. Except that scream was a scream of terror, but then I was screaming too." Raimundo replied.
"Why were you screaming?" Omi asked
"Well, I was traveling to the future with no idea what was going on. A blue light surrounded me and I landed in a place I hadn't even seen before. If those aren't good reasons to be screaming in terror, then I don't know what would be." Raimundo responded just as another scream echoed through the corridors of the temple. Kimiko cupped her hands over her ears. Omi and Clay did likewise while Raimundo just fell back on his bed to go back to sleep. Kimiko looked over at Raimundo and got even madder at him as she narrowed her eyes in his direction. When the screaming finally stopped, Raimundo lifted his head off his bed. He looked around and saw Kimiko glaring at him. "What?"
"How. How do you do that?" Kimiko asked in disbelief.
Raimundo shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I've just gotten used to all that screaming that Selina does."
"She screams a lot?" Omi said.
"Well, only if she is in a situation like this." Raimundo said.
"I take it the little lady gets herself in situations like this a lot." Clay said
"Kind of," Raimundo said, "But It's been more like when she gets captured for about a day or two. Sometimes we've even gotten lost together and trust me you don't want to be lost with her."
"Why," Omi asked.
"Because she screams like crazy just trying to get some help," Raimundo said, "And it's so annoying!"
Kimiko raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean, you have actually gotten lost with that crazy girl?"
Raimundo sighed and said, "Yep, I'm gotten lost with her. In fact I've gotten lost with her about three times."
"Really," Kimiko said, "How?"
Raimundo sighed and said, "Look it's a long story, a long story, which I don't feel like talking about. Ok? Besides I'm starting to get hungry so I suggest that we have some breakfast. Then after that we should start our training because trust me, Selina won't ever stop her screaming until well into the night."
Clay groaned and said, "Doesn't that girl ever get any sleep?"
Raimundo looked at Clay and said, "She does, it's just unfortunate for us that she's been trained to be able to get only about four hours of sleep each day."
"Great," Kimiko said sarcastically, "And how long will this go on for."
"Only for about two weeks. Then after that she will stop."
"Joy." Kimiko groaned as she rolled her eyes, "I will be so happy when this is all over."
"Hey, You know what? I think that we should all go and get something to eat. What do you guys think?" Raimundo proposed.
"Sounds good to me," Clay said.
"Me too," Omi agreed.
"Same here," said Kimiko
"Great! Lets go!" Raimundo exclaimed. All four of the monks let Raimundo's room and went into the dining room to have some breakfast.
Meanwhile in Selina's Room
Selina was pacing around the room she was in. She would occasionally let a scream escape from her mouth. After a while she would get very restless just pacing around and would attack the door. The monks had a hard time prying her lose from the door but after a while she let go of it herself. She would occasionally just flop down on the bed to rest awhile or just let another tremendous scream lose.
Currently she was on the bed just thinking. First off she was mad at Master Fung for knocking her unconscious, but she was extraordinarily furious at Raimundo for everything that had happened in her life. She despised Raimundo with a passion. The next opportunity she got she was going to kill him. Slowly a plan started to form in her mind. She went over every detail just to make sure that there was no flaw in the perfect plan of hers. Slowly an evil smile started to form on her lips as she thought about the plan.
The monks saw the evil smile that slowly started to form on her lips and wondered what she was thinking about and whether they should be worried about it or not.
For the rest of the day Selina screeched and tried to escape.
Uh oh, this can't be good. Selina has a plan to kill Raimundo. What is it? Will she succeed? Find out in the next chapter. R&R
