Hey...it's katie m. bringing you the chapter 8 for unknown love! I am leaving out of state on Saturday for summer vacation. We don't have internet where I am going, so there will be no further updates for unknown love for about 3 months after this chapter! Sorry.....
Chapter 8
Sam landed perfectly on her feet, a huge grin spread across her face. Slowly turning around she saw her wonderful work of butt-kicking as the gigantic robots came crashing down, huge clouds of dust rising from everywhere. Sam made way for the expected scoreboard, proudly awaiting her status. Sure enough, the board landed perfectly upright, in the midst of the dust.
"Progress level----excellent" came the loud mechanical voice. "New life added"
"Yes!" Sam thrust her fist in the air happily. She had been down to her last life when she encountered the laser fight with D34. Sam shuddered just thinking about what it had been like to lose a life. It was exactly like dying for real. Sam had felt herself getting tireder and tireder after taking a violent stab from D34. She was suffocating, slowly, until finally, it ended. Sam had tried to take another breath but couldn't. Her body had given completely out. Then, in the blink of an eye, she was standing upright again, fully powered and still strong as ever. Bringing her attention back to the score board, Sam listened carefully.
"Level 34 complete!" Came the robotic voice. "Boss stage ahead." Sam gulped, as she watched the board silently zip off into the dark sky.
Back on earth at the clubhouse.....(Cathy's point of view)
I stood there, on the railing of the Singletown bridge. It was the highest place I could find with such short notice. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks. Was this really the answer? Slowly, I turned so that my back was facing the loud, fast traffic below. My feet were starting to shake, and the world was starting to go all blurry. Yes. This was the answer. I had lost too many friends already. What was I good for anyway? I thought back to Danny. I don't deserve him. Why would he want such a nervous wreck? As I let myself fall backward off of the railing, and down towards the rushing cars, I saw a figure racing towards me. "Cathy!" Danny cried. Right before I disappeared over the edge and into the abyss, I whispered: "Too late"
"NOOOOO!"Danny woke me up from my wonderful dream screaming. "Promise me you will never do that!!!" I stared in his face. It was covered in tears, and his face was red. He looked worried sick.
"What? How did you know?!?" I asked suddenly, sitting straight up in bed.
"You were saying it out loud and...."
"So what? It's the best way to go for now..."I mumbled staring at her bed sheets.
"Cathy" Danny said quietly. "We both love her. It's been 5 months, but you've got to have hope. Sam's a tough girl she can do this." He took her hand and said "you just can't give up on her. You can't give up on me." I smiled a little. I knew Danny had liked Sam secretly before he'd met me, I just never told Sam. Probably because Sam didn't like him the same way in return, but luckily, I did.
"Okay" I reached over and hugged Danny. Maybe things would be okay. Just then the monitor beeped, and Danny and I paused and immediately pulled away from each other avoiding eye contact and blushing furiously. I got up and walked into the main room, Danny behind me. I pressed the 'receive' button, and the commander appeared on the screen.
"Daniel Jackson and Catherine Smith. Are you there?" commander asked. Danny scowled at his full name being used and Cathy silently stared at the floor.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're here alright...." he mumbled.
"I bear critical and very important news!" the commander said. He looked really worried and even a little scared. Danny and Cathy stood up straight, listening.
"What is it?" Danny asked looking a little suspicious.
"It is your friend,Samantha. She has encountered the planet Dixatron to recover her friend Christopher."
"I knew it!" Danny yelled. "She went into that game! That's where she's been!"
"Naw!!" Cathy said sarcastically.
"She is faring quite well, actually. Surprisingly, she has already made to the boss stage." Commander said. Cathy gasped.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no........" she said rapidly pacing back and forth.
"What?" Danny asked. Cathy looked up, her face stricken with grief as her bottom lip started to quiver.
"The one thing I do know about planet Dixatron, is that no one has ever made it past boss stage alive." she said quietly.
"It has to be a trap." commander said slowly, "Most likely the same one that imprisoned your other friend, the one in the blue."
"CHRIS!" Cathy and Danny both exclaimed in unison. The had to get to Sam, before it was too late for all of them.
Back on planet Dixatron..........
Sam came to a halt in front of a huge yellow ship with a note attached to it. It read:
"For Sam, and Sam only- the highest of high"
Sam blushed after reading the letter. Who would ever consider her to be the 'highest of high'? Her thoughts raced back to Chris and she blushed even deeper. Maybe he left it for her. Maybe she was getting closer to finding him! Excitement raced through Sam as she leaped into the battleship, and it automatically rose into the air.
Somewhere to remain unknown.......
"Sire, she is taking the bait!" came a hushed voice from a master's servant.
"Good.....very good.... It will only be a matter of days then...." Another, more laid back voice said, it's red eyes narrowing.
