Chapter Eleven

We held hands the whole way to the kitchen. Just me and Jared, away from all the drama for just a little bit longer. It was nice, until we were in earshot of what was going on.

We caught the last word, "...fat!" A female voice said. Her voice was loud and dramatic.

"She wouldn't do that. I know her, and she wouldn't do that," Jamie replied. His voice was raised, but I could tell he was staying calm. I was proud.

I could not tell what they were talking about, but I knew this could not be good. We picked up our pace to get to the voices faster.

"Well I don't care what you say she would or wouldn't do. The fact is that she did it and I want her gone. I will not have someone disrespect me like she did."

When we turned the corner I saw Maggie standing with her hands on her hips.

"What's going on?" Jared asked before I could say anything.

"Maggie here says that Wanda called her 'fat'," Jamie replied, agitated. "And I said that she would never do that."

"What do you know? You're just a little kid," Maggie was outraged that someone would even think to disagree with her.

"Don't you talk to him like that," Jared yelled. Wow. I knew he was protective of Jamie, but this was a side of him I hadn't seen in a while.

"Jamie, where is she now?" I asked sweetly, giving Maggie a dirty look.

He stared at Maggie as he spoke, "They all went to the game room. Apparently this isn't the only thing Wanda did."

Great, just great. She had only been 'Allie' for about an hour and already she had done damage. Not just damage that could easily be fixed either. Maggie has the power to influence a lot of people in these caves. When they believe one thing their mind is made up, it can't be changed. I hope she didn't do anything else too bad.

We ran back to the game room. My legs were pretty tired now. I had been doing a lot of running today, from room to room. Every time I turn around someone else needs my help. I needed a break and some food. I hadn't eaten breakfast this morning. I guess I hadn't thought about it because of everything that was happening.

"Since when is it wrong to voice my opinion? So I called her fat. It's true, have you guys seen her? She needs to wear a sign that says 'wide load' or something," Allie was saying as we walked in the room. Everyone was staring at her. "There is seriously something wrong with you people though. Like why am I even here? Are you guys aliens? Because, you know, that would make a lot of sense." She had her hands on her hips, and was tapping her foot.

"You know you are making it really hard to defend you here. Just shut up for five seconds," Kyle said through gritted teeth. He was standing right next to her, and boy was it a funny sight. Kyle is so much taller than her that she basically came up to his shoulder.

"I don't need you to defend me. I can take care of myself. Geez." She might be short, but she definitely had a mouth on her. "So anyway, are we done here? I still have to find Jason."

"Who the hell is Jason?" Kyle asked angrily.

"Why do you fucking care? Are you jealous or something.? All I said was you were hot. Don't take that to mean that I would hook up with you or something," She said, putting her hand up in front of her. I looked at Kyle's face, noticing that he did look jealous. "There has to be cuter guys here. Like him." She turned and pointed to where we were standing.

She talked so fast it took me a minute to figure out what she had just said. I even stared at her finger, letting it sink in. She was pointing at us. No not us, Jared. My Jared. Oh no she didn't.

"He's engaged, so don't even think about it." My eyes were wide. I was starting to not like this new Wanda, or should I say Allie.

"Damn."

"So who is Jason again?" Kyle asked, walking around to stand in front of 'Allie'.

"Has anyone ever told you that you're pathetic?" She was mocking him, I could tell.

He stood there for a minute, probably trying to think of a comeback. He obviously couldn't think of one good enough and 'Allie' was starting to get impatient. She slowly leaned her head from side to side.

"Okay guys that's enough. We need to do something about this," Doc said in a frustrated voice.

I had forgotten that everyone was in the room, but when I looked around everyone had left. They all probably had enough of 'Allie's' antics. I couldn't blame them, she really was a bitch.

"Do something about what?" 'Allie' asked.

"You. Duh." Kyle said. I think he had hoped this would make up for his lack of comeback earlier, but sadly it didn't.

"What about me? It's your guys fault I'm here anyway. I woke up in this place, which means one of you put me here."

She was speaking in a serious tone now, but her body language said different. She went and did a cartwheel on the floor. When she was back on her feet her face was red and her hair was a mess. She did another one. Kyle looked transfixed. Poor Kyle, he didn't know what hit him. Then again poor Allie, she has no idea what she's doing to him.

Doc was standing in the middle of the room, but started to walk towards the door. "Doc?" I asked.

"I need some rest. It's been a long day and I need to go check on Ian. He has been sleeping for a while now. We will fix this in the morning"

"But what about Wanda?" My voice shook. I needed her. I couldn't imagine not having her back.

His reply was, "She's in there somewhere" and he was out the room.

"Glad he's gone. So you guys wanna hear a joke? So three guys were on a trip to Saudi Arabia." We all looked at her in disbelief. Did this really seem like a time for jokes? "Oh come on, lighten up. You guys all look tense."

"Maybe you should give me a massage then."Kyle winked at her. He was probably jumping for joy in his mind, he finally came up with a comeback. Not a very good one, but at least he got one.

"Ha ha. Very funny. Come on guys sit down. Let's have like a slumber party!" She said the last part of this in a high pitched voice. She burst out laughing.

"So about those three guys who went to Saudi Arabia..." Jared said, sitting down by her. I did not want to be left behind so I followed suit.

She giggled and sat up straighter. "So this is a rated R joke. If you aren't mature then maybe you should leave." We all looked at Kyle.

"What?!"

Allie then continued on, "So three guys went on a trip to Saudi Arabia. One day they stumbled into a tent filled with fifty gorgeous women. Being men, they of course started to get...'friendly' with the women. Suddenly the Sheikh came in saying 'I am the master of all of these women. No one else can touch them except for me. You three men will pay for what you have done. You will be punished in a way corresponding to your profession.' He asked what the first guy's profession was. 'I'm a cop' says the first guy. 'Then we will shoot your manly part off.'"

We all laughed at this. Jared put his arm around me and I leaned in to him.

"The Sheikh turned to the second guy and asked what he did for a living. 'I'm a fireman' says the second guy. 'Then we will burn your manly part off.'

"Ouch," Kyle said, squirming. "That had to hurt."

"Continuing on, since I was so rudely interrupted," Allie said, pretending to be irritated. "Finally he asked the last man 'what do you do fr a living?' The third guy answered with a sly grin, 'I'm a lollipop salesman.'"

Jared and I burst out laughing. Kyle just sat there for a second, clearly confused.

"I don- ohhhh! Hahahaha" He joined in the laughter. "Where did you hear that?"

"I got it from some TV show called 'Eli's Dirty Jokes.' Pretty good huh?"

"That was hilarious-"

"Once you got it," She pointed out, smirking.

"Yes once I got it. You have any more?" Kyle asked. He looked like he didn't really care about the jokes as much as he did being around her. I knew it was wrong considering her body was still with Ian, but I wasn't going to be the one to tell her that.

I could tell that it really wasn't Wanda in the body anymore, or at least she wasn't the one controlling it. Allie was here to stay, at least for now, until Doc could do something to help Wanda. I just hope she is still alive in there. If anything happens to her I will feel responsible.

Kyle started to laugh again, Allie must have told another joke. I was getting tired and it was getting dark. I wanted to go to bed early tonight. I felt exhausted.

"What's all that noise?" A voice said from outside the room.

We all turned to the door to see who it belonged to.

"Jason!"

(A/N: Ooohh! I wonder who it could be. Any ideas? =).
