Well, not much to say but to thank my bro for writing this chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 35
Peter's POV
Kaitlyn and I walked together to the dance; our arms locked in with one another.
The music seemed to be playing already as there was a big table with food and refreshments.
As students and their dates and friends were sitting at their tables, some were already dancing to the music on the dance floor. We saw Aelita, Odd, Patricia, Ulrich, and Yumi at one table. We went over to them.
"Hey guys, where's Jeremie?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Oh you know Jeremie; he's just working on some last minute calculations." Aelita said.
"Well let's dance while the night is still young." Odd said, as he took Patricia's hand and led her to the dancefloor.
Everyone nodded as we went to the dance floor and started dancing.
Switching to Jeremie's POV….
I typed away on my computer as I made some last minute calculations.
There was this time where we had XANA was attacking and nothing at school or in France for that matter happened.
Now, I'm making sure nothing strange happened in other states. Just then the super scan picked up an activated tower.
"Ugh, speaking of the devil himself…" I thought bitterly as I called the others.
Switching to Jerome's POV…
"So what's the best plan of action to ruin their relationship?" Taelia asked, as we were near the dance. I got to admit, she was beautiful… But, not as beautiful as Kaitlyn. Ugh, I want her back so much.
"Well…." I said, as I thought about what we should do. Just then, something came out of the outlet that was behind Taelia.
I was so shocked, I didn't know what to think…
It started to do something weird to her, as it then attacked me.
I tried to fight it off but soon everything turned black.
Switching to Patricia's POV…..
Odd and I danced along to the music as both of us were smiling. I looked down at our feet, as both were moving in unison with each other.
"You're a good dancer." I said.
"Thanks, so are you." Odd said.
I looked back up to him. "Would it shock you this is my first time at a dance?" I asked.
"You're kidding." Odd said dumbstruck.
"Nope." I said.
"How come?" Odd asked.
"Shyness doesn't help." I said.
Switching to Peter's POV….
Kaitlyn and I were dancing along to the music as the dance floor became crowded.
"Are you enjoying the dance?" I asked.
"Yeah I am, I'm having a great time." Kaitlyn smiled.
"So am I." I smiled back at her.
"Can I tell you something?" Kaitlyn asked.
"Of course, I know how to keep a secret." I said.
"This is my first dance." Kaitlyn said.
"No way you've got to be kidding." I said.
"Well I've had other dances but this is my first good dance. At least so far."
Kaitlyn explained.
"Ah I understand. Want to know something?" I asked.
"Sure." Kaitlyn said.
"This is my first dance. I've never been to any other dance in my life." I said.
"How come?" Kaitlyn asked raising an eyebrow.
"You're my first girlfriend." I said.
"No way." Kaitlyn said her voice full of shock.
"I'm serious." I said as I felt a tug on my arm. Ulrich was tugging me.
"We've got trouble." He said.
"XANA!" Kaitlyn and I exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, we need to head to the factory and be on the lookout. Let's go." Ulrich said.
Kaitlyn and I followed Ulrich as my phone started to vibrate. I took my phone out of the pocket. It was a text message from Jeremie.
Cassidy says she needs, and I quote "HELP!" I think XANA got to her but be careful.
I gasped as I put my phone away.
"Cassidy is in trouble." I said with worry.
"What!?" Kaitlyn yelled.
"Guys will meet up at the factory if not we'll defend the home front until whatever Xana has up his sleeve gets by us." I said.
"You can't." both Aelita and Patricia said.
"Get going, come on Peter." Kaitlyn said as she took my hand. We ran out of the gym to find Cassidy.
"Where should we look?" I asked.
"Room." Kaitlyn answered.
Kaitlyn led me to Cassidy's room as she tried to open the door.
"Locked." Kaitlyn said. I let go of Kaitlyn's hand as I stepped back. I ran as I kicked the door down. We could see Cassidy tied up, Kaitlyn ran over to help her.
"Cassidy what happened?" she asked after removing the scotch tape from her mouth.
"It was-" then the pain happen "OUCH!" she screamed.
"Sorry but keep going we don't have much time." Kaitlyn said as she untied the rope from Cassidy's arms.
"It was Jerome and Taelia." Cassidy said.
"What?" both Kaitlyn and I asked in unison. Kaitlyn managed to get the rope untied on Cassidy's arms as Cassidy then slipped out of the rope from her feet.
"Then need to work on tying their rope though." Cassidy said.
"What happened, Cassidy? Did you notice anything weird about Jerome and Taelia?" I asked.
"Yes actually." Cassidy admitted.
"What?" Kaitlyn asked.
"There was this symbol in their eyes it was as if they were... possessed or something." Cassidy said with a look of confusion. Kaitlyn and I both looked at one another.
"Look you can come with us. Just stay close to Peter." Kaitlyn said.
"Okay." Cassidy said.
We walked out of the room as we made our way to the factory.
Later….
We finally arrived on the bridge that would take us to the factory. My heart was pounding, as I looked left and right to make sure there were no sign of Taelia and Jerome.
"We're almost there." Kaitlyn said.
"How come we're at this factory?" Cassidy asked.
I shuddered. "Has anyone noticed this has just been too easy? No sign of him anywhere." I said.
"Him, who?" Cassidy asked.
Just then I was zapped with two bolts of lightning.
"PETER!" Kaitlyn and Cassidy yelled.
"Kaitlyn, get going! Bring Cassidy to the factory! I'll hold these two off, get going now!" I exclaimed.
"But we can't!" Cassidy said with fear.
"It's best not to argue. Let's go, Peter?" Kaitlyn asked. I got up from the ground.
"Yes?"
"I love you be safe." Kaitlyn said, with a look in her eye I'll never forget.
"I will, love you too." I said.
Kaitlyn took Cassidy's hand as they both ran to the factory.
"You know, tying up a defenseless girl is low even for you, XANA." I said as Jerome and Taelia's eyes twitched. I walked up to them as we were now inches away from one another.
"You know something Jerome there's something I've been meaning to do to you for a long time." I said as I raised my leg then kicked him in the nuts. He grunted and fell done.
"I wish you could have felt that for real." I said. Taelia got in a defensive position as I did as well.
"My mom told me not to fight girls." I said as she shot lightning at me but I barely managed to dodge it.
"Then again she never said anything about girls that are possessed by an evil entity that wants to take over the world." I said.
