*WILBUR'S POV*
*1 month later-December 22, 2037*
"I'm so proud of you Wilbur! I haven't been this happy about your grades in years."
Yep, first semester of high school was over, and I got straight A's on my semester report card. I felt really happy with myself since Thanksgiving break when I was wounded. My dad's plan for having more security worked out very well. When I got back to school after break, Rachel followed me again, but this time the principal caught her and gave her an in school suspension for two days. She hasn't been following me since, so I had hoped that she had learned her lesson. Also, the masked female did not break into Karena's apartment or my house, and she has not followed me at all since.
Now my wounds have completely healed, including the stomach wound, which healed faster than the wounds on my arm. I wasn't able to play chargeball or do any sort of kicking or punching because it would've torn my stomach wound even more. I was upset, but I am now glad I could finally do this sort of thing again. I am also glad that I am on Christmas break, which means more opportunities with the love of my life...and more opportunities to get back into chargeball.
So here I am in my room playing chargeball. I lost the first two games I played due to me not playing it in about a month, but as I continued to play, the more I started to win. I was on game number five when I heard my phone ring. I rushed to win my third game with my tutor, which I succeeded in and rushed out to answer my phone. I missed Karena's call and tried to call her back. She answered after the first ring.
"Wilbur! Why didn't you answer the first time?" Well she doesn't sound too happy.
"Sorry, I was playing chargeball," I replied.
"Chargeball? You're not supposed to be playing it," Karena reprimanded me.
"My wounds are completely healed," I explained. "I went to the doctor today and he told me I could resume my activities."
"Oh. Sorry about that then."
"It's fine," I replied as I laughed. "I'm just about done anyway. I lost the first two, but I got back into it."
"Okay good," my girlfriend replied while laughing. "So how were your finals?"
"I got 100% in my Algebra, chorus, band, world history, and chemistry finals while getting a 95%-98% in my P.E., intro to bus. and tech., and English finals."
"Woo-hoo!" Karena exclaimed. "My tutoring must've paid off."
"It sure did," I replied. "So how's your break doing?"
"Work," the brunette answered. "That's all I've done...other than drawing and painting and making food, of course. And that's all in the course of one week so far out of four."
"Ooh, I can't wait to see those!" I replied.
"See what?"
"Your paintings."
"Ooh."
"So what are you painting?" I asked my girlfriend.
"Oh, I drew a picture of a brunette on her wedding day a few months ago, a sunset over Todayland, a dog, an eagle-"
"Would that be Buster, by any chance?"
"Oh no," Karena answered. "Just a Yorkie."
"Ah."
"I've also painted the Smoky Mountains, cherry trees-"
"You've been to the Smoky Mountains?" I asked.
"No, but I really want to someday," Karena replied. "I hear it's very beautiful."
"I'll keep that in mind," I said with a wink, even though the brunette couldn't see it.
"Uh-oh...Wilbur I gotta go."
"Karr, do you have a time limit or something?" I asked.
"No time, Wilbur!" she exclaimed as she hung up. I grabbed my brown leather jacket and headed out of my room and ran outside to the time machine. It roared to life as I drove to Karena's apartment. I rushed out of the machine and went into the building. Never did I know that there was a robot watching me.
"Slow down, buddy!" I turned around to face the female robot and took a breather.
"Okay, I'm looking for Karena," I explained as calmly as I could. "She's in trouble!"
"I did hear some ruckus in her apartment," replied the robot. "If you can stop it, it would be much appreciated." The robot unlocked the door for me, and I opened it only to see Karena kick her intruder in the groin. The intruder was masked, dressed in all black, and she was about to attack my girlfriend! Even though I did just get back in action, I couldn't just stand and do nothing.
"Hold it!" Both girls froze and stared at me with wide eyes. I only stood still with my fists clenched together, and then I pointed my finger at the lady in black. "You will not touch my girlfriend...not without attacking me anyway."
"Well, well, Wilbur Robinson. How delightful it is that he came to save his girlfriend. Now if only he didn't have those wounds that I gave him some time ago."
"YOU!" Karena yelled, and she punched the girl in the stomach. Karena then proceeded to grab a flag pole and point it at her attacker. "Why did you attack my boyfriend? Tell me!"
"Get that thing away from me, Miss Edwards. And you, Wilbur Robinson, need to learn to keep your mouth shut. I warned both of you of what was to come and this was it! You may have gotten me this time, but next time will be different!" The masked female then kicked Karena in the chest, and she ran out of the apartment and out of the building before I could catch up to her. I ran back into the apartment where I found Karena on the floor, unconscious.
"Karena? Karena, wake up! Please!" I continued to shake the brunette's shoulder until she stirred.
"Wilbur?" she moaned. "Where is she?"
"She escaped," I regretfully told her. "I'm sorry-" I gasped as I saw Karena's cheek scratched with blood. "You're bleeding."
"Hmm?" Karena paused as she looked around her body. "Where?"
"Ohmygosh...maybe I should fix this. Can you stand?" I helped my love get up and led her to her bedroom. "Okay, can you sit down?"
"Yeah." Karena sat down, and I proceeded to ask her questions.
"What are the proper materials needed to clean a bleeding scratch?" I asked.
"A warm wet towel, a warm bucket of water, more towels..." I raced off to the sink to get the materials needed. I had kind of watched Karena treat a wound while she was helping me, so I get the picture of what I would be doing. I brought the towels into Karena's room, and then I went back to the kitchen to get the water. I brought the water into the room, and I found a panicked Karena sitting up on the bed.
"Karr, what's wrong?" I asked, and then she started crying.
"It's Kacy...the female either destroyed her or stole her."
"Oh gosh..." I paused, sighing. "Let's just take care of that cheek first, and then you can tell me what happened while I was gone." As I got the first towel wet, I looked up at Karena, she was wincing and crying at the same time. I sat on the bed, and I hugged her tightly. She hugged back, and she calmed down.
"Oh, Wilbur-" I interrupted her with a kiss on the lips.
"Shh, it's going to be alright. I'm going to take care of you like you took care of me, okay?" Karena nodded, and I proceeded to wipe the blood and tears off her beautiful face with the warm cloth. I didn't press too hard yet until there was only a little bit of blood left in the scratch. Then I proceeded to press down harder on the scratch to stop the bleeding.
"Ow, WILBUR!"
"Shh, shh, it's okay!" I pressed down on the scratch one more time, and then I placed the cloth to the side. I kissed the top of the scratch and kissed it until my lips reached the bottom of it. "You did great. Now let's search for Kacy."
We searched the three rooms in the apartment. At first Kacy was nowhere to be found...that is until I saw a robotic hand in the closet.
"Karena, she's in the closet...well, part of her is anyway." Karena rushed over to the closet and opened it, and Kacy fell out of the closet. I ran over to the two of them. I took a closer look at Kacy, and I sighed in conclusion.
"She's gone," I said. "Your attacker must've put Kacy away first so that she wouldn't call for help. I can try to ask my dad to fix her, but I can't guarantee it. It looks like she got beat up pretty good."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"You are pushy today," I said.
"Oh let's see, it's probably because I got attacked in my own apartment and I may have lost a friend!"
"Geez! Karena, relax!" I signaled her to take deep breaths. "Let's just go to my house, tell my dad about what happened, then tell him to try to fix Kacy. Okay?" The brunette nodded, and in a flash we were back at the time machine. I drove back to the house and parked the time machine in the garage. We met a worried Carl, who ran to us.
"Is everything alright?" Carl asked.
"I'm fine," I replied. "But I'm afraid I can't say the same about Karr. She was attacked, as you can tell, and her robot was destroyed."
"I'll get your father right away." And with that said, Carl went up the travel tube.
"Can I have a glass of water?" Karena asked.
"Yeah," I replied, then my straight face turned to a stern one. "Stay here." I ran toward the travel tube, and it took me to the dining room...where I was hit with a meatball.
"Hey there, Wilbur!" Grandpa Bud exclaimed as he rose from under the table.
"Did Uncle Gaston convince you again?" I asked.
"Glad those wounds are healed!" Uncle Gaston replied. "Now I can get back to giving you my cannon challenges!"
"I really don't have time," I started to say. "You see, I'm here to-"
"Great! Let's get started!" -give Karena a glass of water. Ugh! I followed my uncle to the cannon range, and I was placed on the floor. These challenges are easy, really; all you do is step on the red dots while trying to avoid getting hit with meatballs. Hopefully for me, this will help me get back into things as well.
There was only one dot to step on, so that made things easy. On the other hand, I did have to do a lot of dodging...or cartwheeling. But I decided to do things the easy way. I flipped over meatballs over and over again, and when I got closer to the end, I did a straight body forward flip and landed on the dot. The meatballs stopped coming toward me, and I was transported back with Uncle Gaston.
"You are truly one with the meatball," Uncle Gaston complimented.
"Uh...thanks. Look, I gotta get back to Karena."
"See ya later!"
I went to the kitchen to get Karena her glass of water, and then I transported back to the garage. I was approached by Carl and my dad, and I followed them to where Karena was sitting. I gave Karena her water, and I sat down with her.
"So what happened?" Cornelius asked.
"Your son saved my life," Karena answered. "I was attacked in my apartment, and when Wilbur arrived, he distracted my attacker long enough for me to gain the higher ground.
"Did the alarm go off?" Carl asked.
"No," the brunette answered. "My attacker must've turned them off before she came to me."
"She? Is your attacker the same person who attacked Wilbur?" Now Dad was acting worried.
"Yes, she recognized Wilbur immediately."
"Well, then I have good news and bad news."
"Okay, let's hear the good news first for a change," I requested.
"The good news is I'm relieving the sentries from your room and around the house," Cornelius answered, and I smiled. "But the bad news, and you may hate this, Karena, is that the sentries here will now be at your apartment. They will be guarding the entrance to the building as well as the entrance to your apartment."
"And what if this doesn't work?" Karena asked with worry.
"We'll keep moving forward and think of another plan to keep you two safe," Carl answered.
"So, if you'll come with me, Karena, I can have the sentries programmed to recognize your looks and your voice," Cornelius beckoned to my girlfriend, who followed him up the travel tube. I stood up and sighed.
"Well this is a nice start to Christmas break."
"Don't worry, little buddy," Carl said as he placed a robotic hand on my shoulder. "Karena will be fine."
I walked over to the travel tube and I went to my room. I walked over to the levitation platform, and I used the remote in my pocket to get me to the second floor. I sat down on my bed, I placed my head in my hands, and I cried, praying that whatever situation Karena and I were in would be resolved soon and that I could survive second semester of freshman year with no problems.
