Chpt. 25
"This is all your fault! Why did you trust Catwomen? In my book, that's a big no-no." I said as we inched closer to the plant.
"My fault! You agreed to come along! And besides sometimes Catwomen is on our side." Johnny yelled.
"Yah, sometimes on our side. And I only came along after Catwomen scouted me out after you suggested getting me. If it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be here right now!" I matched his tone.
"Well I think I might know how to make it up to you." he smiled as he sawed off the root that was around him with a pocketknife and he did the same to my roots. We quickly landed on the ground, free from the roots.
"So, did that do the trick?" He smiled.
"Well it helped a bit." I shrugged. Suddenly a giant root came and hit Jhonny across the head, making him fly backwards. The root had thorns on it, which also scratched Jhonny. He was now bleeding and he seemed unconscious. The same root kept striking at me but I was able to dodge it, pick up Jhonny, and take him outside. I laid him on the side of the building and he was still bleeding repulsively. I took a cloth and my water bottle out of my bag. I pored the water on his forehead, where the cut was, and dabbed at it with the cloth.
Come on, Jhonny has to be ok. Sure he annoys me but that's the fun of things. Come on Jhonny be ok. Be ok! His forehead seemed to stop bleeding. I felt his pulse, and he seemed to be normal.
Now's your time Artimis. Rip off the bandanna, find out who he really is. My brain nagged. My hand came to his bandanna and as I gripped the cloth, a hand came up and held my wrist. It was Jhonny's hand.
"Ah, Ah, Ah. No peaking." he smiled.
