What went from a sudden realization went to unknowing chaos within seconds. 2D started to cry, Murdoc pulled out several knives from underneath the kitchen cabinet (presumably to murder Paula), and Russel started to yell. Noodle, completely terrified, started to shake violently, trying to stay strong and not show them her emotions. However, Murdoc noticed her shaking.

Setting the knives down, he walked over to noodle on the floor. He looked at her terrified face, and he dropped to her level on his knees. He leaned in, and gave her a hug. She was shocked, as she never thought that Murdoc would never do something like that. She started to cry into his shoulder. "Why does she want to kill me? What did I ever do to her?" She cried desperately, her breath getting caught in her throat the more she spoke. Murdoc called 2D over to calm her down. 2D rushed over, and held on to her like she was a newborn child. She wanted to push him off, to tell him that she wasn't a child anymore, but something in her brain denied her the strength to do so.

Meanwhile, Murdoc and Russel stressed. What could they do? "Should we go to the police?" Murdoc asked.

"We ain't got any evidence! She didn't leave anything that would tell us what was going on. The note is typed, so we can't use handwriting analysis. Plus, I bet she didn't even leave any fingerprints, that girl is that thorough." Russel let out a heavy, frustrated sigh.

They would just have to bear it. And make sure that Paula didn't get anywhere Noodle.

"I'm gonna go to the cafe," Murdoc said, standing up. "Does anybody want to come?"

Everyone replied, "Yeah."

"Let's get ready first," Noodle piped up. Everyone nodded. It was early in the morning, so they looked like shit. Noodle and 2D went upstairs to get changed, while Murdoc and Russel retreated into their rooms. The three guys emerged looking like their normal selves. Russel was wearing a white shirt with green sleeves, and an ace symbol on a sleeve. He wore this with khaki jean shorts and a yellow hat. Murdoc was wearing a grey shirt with black pants, with his golden cross necklace glimmering. 2D emerged, his hair a complete mess. He was wearing a white shirt with red stripes on the sleeve, and it said: Virus T. He also wore it with some jeans and black sneakers. However, Noodle was taking forever. The three guys waited by the door for her to come out. Finally, she emerged.

She was wearing a short black and white checkered dress, with a black fluffy shawl and matching hat. She had a black handbag with gold accents. The guys rolled their eyes at her. "Why do you have to dress like a princess all the time?" Said Murdoc. Noodle shot him a dirty look, and he quickly shut up. She slid on some black heels, and the three left the house for some breakfast, the guys pulling on their jackets as they closed the door behind them.

They piled into the van, as Murdoc slid into the driver's seat. They drove for a bit, until they reached the more concentrated downtown area. It was busy, and the traffic was insane. They were gonna drive to their usual cafe, but considering that Paula was still working there, they found it to be safer if they stayed away from it. The drive was more pleasurable now that Noodle was back, as the usual chatter about fashion and music started to arise again.

"...Honestly, I don't know why clear jeans are a fashion," she said as they pulled up into the parking lot. "It's the most counterintuitive thing I've ever seen!" They exited the car one by one, 2D helping Noodle out, as it was hard to jump when she had heels on.

"I don't understand why you have to wear those things everywhere," Murdoc said, gesturing at her choice of footwear. The guys all nodded in agreement.

Noodle sighed. "It's not about comfort, it's about fashion." Then she walked past them, signifying that this conversation was over. 2D shrugged, and the three entered the restaurant.

It was a comforting, quaint little pie house. It was warm inside, making the place seem even more welcoming. Plus, it smelled delicious. Noodle stepped up to the counter, where an old, kind lady addressed her. "Hi!" Noodle said in a friendly manner.

The woman smiled. "Hello," she said. "How may I serve you?" She gave a confused look at the appearance of the band, but didn't say anything about it, trying to be polite.

"We're going to get once slice of chocolate cream pie for him," she gestured at Russ. "One slice of blackberry pie and a coffee for him," she nodded in Murdoc's direction. "One slice of cherry pie, with extra whipped cream and a cafe latte for him," she jabbed a thumb over at 2D. "And a slice of apple pie and a black tea for me. Thanks!" She smiled at the lady gratefully.

The woman took down the order. "That'll be $34.87," she said. Noodle slid the money over to her, and the woman took it. She led the band to a small booth over in the corner of the restaurant. There was a window, that showed the bustling city, covered in snow. "The food will be with you shortly," she said, and left for the counter again.

The place wasn't very popular, as there wasn't really many people there. It was mostly just them, except for a mysterious figure in the corner of the restaurant. There was a magazine covering their face, but from under the table it was clear to see that it was a woman. The band looked towards the figure suspiciously, but didn't think much of it. It was no use being paranoid of someone in a cafe, just trying to enjoy their breakfast. The four just sat there, playing games on their phones and making small talk about school and their teachers. Eventually, their food came. It smelled delicious, and the four dug in immediately. It tasted amazing.

Soon enough, they had finished their food, and were ready to leave the restaurant. They thanked the woman at the counter, who smiled at them and waved goodbye. However, they didn't see the mysterious figure rise from their chair, and follow them out the door, a disposable cup of water in their hands.

Noodle was following the guys out the door, towards the car. However, within an instant, she felt a hand cup over her mouth and grab her arms. She couldn't scream. There was no time. She was pulled away, her eyes blindfolded with something that felt like a cloth. She was dragged into an alley, no time to say anything. The cloth was pulled off her eyes.

And there, standing before her, was Paula Cracker.

Meanwhile, the guys had only just noticed her disappearance. "Shit, where's Noodle?" Russel asked. They began to call out her name, getting increasingly more worried. They began to search the area, checking in every nook and cranny they could find.

Paula smiled devilishly. "You thought you could escape me by hiding away. You thought that staying closer to your little band mates would keep you protected." She inched closer to Noodle. Noodle could barely move. Her hands were tied, along with her feet. She couldn't run. There was nowhere to hide. Paula became so close that Noodle could feel her hot breath on her face. "You were wrong." She whispered breathily. Noodle began to cry. How would she get out of this?

The guys were still searching. They had spread out, Russel even going in to check the restaurant. They screamed her name. Where was she? However, while Russel was searching, he realized something. The mysterious figure was gone too.

Paula did something unexpected. She untied Noodle's arms, and yanked them towards her. Noodle's metal arms were completely exposed. Paula grabbed the glass of water in her other hand. "No!" Noodle said frantically, the desperation in her voice clear as it cracked. "Please don't!" Paula tipped the water glass slowly, laughing maniacally as the water flowed from the cup and struck Noodle's metallic forearms with a sickening CRACK.

Noodle screamed in pain. The true agony of this was too much to handle. Her arms buzzed and cracked, shocking her repeatedly. She cried and screamed, louder than she ever had. Her arms went limp. Paula laughed. "You will never escape me. I will keep hurting you, hunting you down until you are dead." Noodle began to cry more softly. Paula leaned forward. "But I'll make you an offer." Noodle went silent.

"What kind of offer?" Noodle said shakily.

"If you are willing to give up 2D, and your place in the band, I'll let you go. I'll never talk to you or hurt you again." She smiled wickedly. She held out her hand.

Noodle remained quiet, the anger boiling up inside her until she couldn't bear it anymore. At the top of her lungs, she screamed. "NEVER!" She threw her legs out from underneath her, kicking Paula in the crotch. Then she pulled apart her legs, snapping the twine that held them. She stood up quickly, kicking Paula in the face, knocking her unconscious. Then, she began to run. She ran as fast as she could out of that alley. And, directly into Murdoc. She cried tears of relief as he picked her up off the ground and hugged her as hard as he could. She was shaking violently. Murdoc yelled for the others. They came immediately, as 2D lifted her off the ground and kissed her. She kissed back, her salty tears leaving wet patches on his shirt as she hugged him and buried her face in his chest. 2D ran a hand through her hair. "Where were you? You were gone for a half an hour!" 2D said. Noodle didn't respond.

They walked back from the car, Noodle still shaking. Her forearms were still sparking, but they were repairing themselves slowly. She could move them just slightly. Nobody said a word as they drove home. Noodle just sat there, alert, her eyes wide open and moist. Her makeup was smudged, and there were red rings around her eyes.

'Jesus,' Murdoc thought. 'I knew that Noodle was in danger, but I didn't think it would go this far.' They pulled up to the house, going inside and locking the door behind them. They sat Noodle down on the couch, as she shakily retold the story of what had happened.

"She can back off. I'm never going to be with her. I'll do anything to protect you Noodle. I would rather die than love her instead of you." Noodle gave a watery smile at him. 2D gave his signature toothy grin.

"More importantly, WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?!" Murdoc asked, clearly stressed. He was pacing back and forth, which he usually did when he was angry or worried. He breathed heavily. "We're gonna have to find a way to keep Noodle protected. We're just gonna have to watch her every second, make sure that she doesn't leave our sights. She always has a class with at least one of us, so we'll have to keep an eye on her. Plus, we'll pack her a lunch, so that Paula can't pull anything with her food. Understood?" Murdoc gestured at the other guys. They nodded. Then Murdoc turned to Noodle. He bent down and held her hand loosely. Her terrified face looked back at him. His gaze softened. "Noods," He said quietly. "I want you to be extra careful, m'kay? I want you to keep a close eye out for Paula or whoever could be affiliated with her." Noodle nodded slightly. Murdoc offered a smile. He frazzled her hair. "She doesn't stand a chance against you." He chuckled.

IIIIIIIIII

The next morning, Noodle woke up, feeling much better. Although she was still a bit traumatized, she still had a smile on her face. She was determined for today to be a better day. She combed her hair and put on some makeup. She then put on her outfit for the day, which was a flowy white blouse with black jeans and a red handbag, with red shoes. She then slathered on a thick layer of blood red lipstick. She then strutted downstairs, whipping up a quick breakfast of eggs and toast. She then cut up some strawberries, and throwing a little swirl of homemade whipped cream on the side.

The other three arrived in the usual order. Russel came first, having woken up a little bit after noodle. 2D came next, as his alarm went off. And Murdoc came last, a few minutes before they were supposed to leave. They all finished their breakfasts (Murdoc had to scarf his down), and they thanked Noodle for the food. Throwing their backpacks on, they left for school.

They arrived, keeping their eyes out for Paula. However, they did not find her. The classes went as usual, until it was time for lunch. They sat down, Noodle placing her delicious sack lunch out in front of her. It consisted of apples and caramel, homemade sushi she made herself, and a bag of sour cream and onion chips. She dug in, savoring the delicious tastes. Meanwhile, the guys ate their lunch while keeping a close eye out for Paula.

However, it was unnecessary to watch out. Paula eventually just strode up to their table, sitting on it. She flashed a smile at the guys. They glared at her and bared their teeth. "Whatcha doin?" She asked loudly.

"Nothing of your concern," Murdoc said. He nodded at Russel. Russel nodded back. They both rose from the table. The plan was set in action. Murdoc grabbed onto her right arm, and Russel grabbed onto her left. She looked at them, confused, as they pulled her out of the cafeteria and into the empty, barren hallway. They shoved her up against the lockers. "What happened yesterday?!" Paula just batted her eyes innocently. Russel stepped forward.

"Don't bother playing dumb. We know it was you messing with Noodle. Carving her back like that. You left that note in the bowl, and you pulled her into that alley. We don't need a rocket scientist to figure that out. So spill before we make you." Paula just smirked.

"Of course that wasn't me! First of all, I wasn't even at your guys' house when Noodle got chloroformed and hung from the…" She trailed off, realizing what she had just said. Murdoc stepped forward, pinning her to the lockers.

"Oh yeah, innocent, aren't you?" He gritted his teeth. "Then how would you know that she got hung from the ceiling and chloroformed? We didn't call the cops, we didn't even tell anyone, let alone you. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?!" Paula began to cry softly.

"IT WASN'T ME! I was at the concert with you guys!" But she couldn't cover it up anymore. She looked guiltily at the guys, still trying to prove that she was innocent.

"Oh yeah? Then who was that guy you sent out? We're not as stupid as you think." Suddenly, Murdoc felt a swift kick to his balls. He doubled over in pain, as he let go of Paula. She twisted around them, and began to run. Russel chased after her, down the hallways and weaving past classrooms. Sadly, however, she got away. She ran out the school doors, away from then. Russel stopped to catch his breath. He cursed loudly. How could he let her get away? He saw Murdoc catch up to him. "She got away?" He asked expectantly. Russel nodded slightly. They both sighed.

How would they get to her now?
