Chapter 8: Planning/ Hoping

Gerald is completely surprised at Phoebe's actions. Brainy is on the floor, his glasses are now broken. "You lying! Take me to Helga now!" Roared Phoebe as walked closer to Brainy's body. "*wheeze* Okay!" mumbles a weak Brainy as his eyes become blank. A bright light shines through the nurse's office. Everything seems frozen in time again and Gerald is mouthing "Wow, Phoebe sure can pack a punch." Soon Gerald and Phoebe vanish into the unknown and all is left is an empty office.

Meanwhile back to Helga.

I scream and fall to my knees in pain. I can't find Arnold. I tried everything. I won't give up, I can't give. I'm a Pataki. "Stop kidding yourself," murmurs a voice. "Arnold, is that you?" I ask into the darkness and the voice begins to laugh. "Hahahahahaha! Not exactly. You better hurry, if you wanna save you lover-boy!" urged the voice. "Your Arnold is already dead and will never care for you. Just give up and surrender to the darkness. You'll be happy here," exclaims the voice. I fall to my knees "Nooooo!" I shriek as my memories flash through my mind of Olga and my parents gushing over her and ignoring me all the time and never meeting Arnold, being alone forever. ( Ain't I cruel. Lila: You are ever so cruel! Who let her in? Guards! *Lila is grabbed by guards and thrown into the dungeon* I ordered that dungeon myself, okay back to the story)
Suddenly Arnold's voice is heard "Please help me! Someone help me! Who I'm I?" "I'm coming Arnold, I'll save you. All I need is to believe." I mutter as I step forward, the voice screams in pain and all is silence. Then I hear Arnold whimpering and calling for help. I begin to sing, knowing I have no way of knowing where I end up, only that my number one objective and plan is to find Arnold and bring him home. Crimney! Why do I have to be the hero? Geez where's those stupid super-heroes when you need them? A song comes to mind and I begin to sing:

Looking back on the things, I done
I was trying to be someone
Played my heard
Kept you in the dark
Now let me show you
the shape of my hope.

When visions around you bring tears to your eyes

~ Helga's eyes fills with tears as the memories of her childhood flash through her mind~

And all that surrounds you are secrets and lies

~Helga looks around and finds herself trapped looking at her reflection in the mirror~

Arnold's song echoes through the place:

I be your strength
I'll be your hope.
Keeping your faith with it's gone.
The one you should call
was standing here all along
And I will take you in my arms
And hold you right where you belong.
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
This I promise you.

Helga's voice continues*

Over and Over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
Without you

Arnold's voice continues:

And I will take you in arms
And hold you right where you belong
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
This

Helga's voice continues

Promise you *I love you*

~A light appears and Helga is transported to the unknown~


Back to Gerald and Phoebe

-Gerald's POV:

Phoebe and I landed on a tough ground and the whole room was dark. It was creepy actually. I hear Phoebe whisper my name and shiver. I embrace her gently and cradle her in my arms. "It's going to be all right." I tried to reinsure her and myself. Suddenly a cold laughter fills the room. "Oh how sweet. Two new idiots to be our new servants," the voice growls. Phoebe shivers and my grip on her tightens. "Never!" I yell back into the darkness of the room. "Not very Smart!" A voice answers back a steps into the shadows as deep pain engulfs me, I gasp in horror. "Noooooo!" i shriek as the the figure steps out of the shadows and bright light fills the room.
