Katy's POV
I get up and run into the guest bedroom where Randy was in. I just sit there; staring at him. "Oh Randy, I hope you can figure out a way to get out of the Nomicon." I sit there on the cold floor shivering. I see Howard walk in and come over to me.
"Hey, you okay?" Howard asks.
I look up at him, "Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just worried about Randy. He's our only hope on defeating the Sorcerer. And things are getting worse each day. I know that Randy will get out of the Nomicon; I'm just not sure when and how he plans to." A shivering chill wisps through my body.
Howard puts a blanket over me, "I know what you mean; ever since Randy became the ninja things have gotten tough. It was hard for us to even have a simple lunch without the school being attacked." I giggle at Howard. He's one of my closest friends. If something ever happened to him or Randy; I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
I look back over at Randy who was starting to make face expressions in his sleep. I look closer and see small drops of sweat come down from his forehead. I guess Randy is trying to reason with the Nomicon and it's being stubborn.
"Howard, when you first met me; were you ever suspicious about me?"
"I actually did have a bad feeling about you. But now I know I can trust you. I mean, you're dating my best friend; you proved that I can trust you." I smile at Howard.
Out of no where, I feel a sharp pain in my stomach, "OWE!" I grab my stomach and squeeze it tight. Howard puts his hands on my shoulders. "I'm fine; I just need some sleep. I'll stay here in case he wakes up. You go ahead and sleep up stairs." He nods his head and leaves the room. The pain was getting worse and worse. I bare through the pain and try to fall asleep. But I just can't. I try standing up; but I trample and fall. I can't feel my legs. What the juice is going on? I lift my head up and find myself looking at a boy with a mask over his face. He was about my height and probably around 15 or 16 years old. He had dark evil eyes; they look right through my soul. He was wearing a red t-shirt and black jeans. "Who-who are you?" I say with my voice filled with fear.
"I am the one person who you and your pathetic friend needs to survive." I get another sharp pain in my stomach again. "The pain is just going to get worse."
"That doesn't answer my question on who you are!" He grabs me by the neck and pulls me close to his face.
"Like I said; I'm the only person that you and that boy need in order to survive." He glances over at Randy. He throws me down on the ground and walks over to Randy. All I could do was just sit there and watch as the misterious boy look down at Randy. "What could you possibly see in this boy. He may be the ninja, but that doesn't mean that he is a good lover." He turns around to look back at me. "You're Kaitlin Breakwood aren't you? I've heard stories about you and the ninja working together; but I never thought they were true." I was speechless I couldn't talk. The pain in my stomach was beginning to make me lose consciousness.
I ache in pain and lye there on the ground. Helpless. "Can you please help me; I can't take the pain any longer. Please, I'll do anything!" He quickly runs over to me and covers my mouth with his hand.
"Sshh, you don't want to alarm anyone. I would like to help you. But you and this pathetic boy need to learn how to trust one another."
I begin to lose consciousness, his hand was still over my mouth. I try to call for Howard but nothing. My eyes begin to water; we had just escaped from Mac, we had just gotten away from the enemy. Why was all of this happening to us? Why us? Why me? Why Randy? When he starts to realize that I am too weak to scream; he removes his hand from my mouth. My eyes half open, I say to the misterious boy "Why are you doing this to us? Why are you hurting me?"
He simply replies to me, "Because I can."
