In an hour, Catty had a nice hot bubble bath going. She stripped and let
the nice hot water overtake her. But she had no intention of relaxing.
She needed time to think.
So the Atrox thought the other daughters would betray her. Crypten Somehow wants to capture her but why?
A slow smile crept over her face. Why? The seduction of a daughter is the biggest reward. The Atrox would promote them to be part of the inner circle. But Crypten was already a part of the inner circle, so what did he want with her? Then a thought struck her. Maybe he was trying to overthrow the Atrox!
Catty sat bolt upright. But what could she do? She slid back into the inviting water and made up her mind that the mysterious guy could probably give her the answers she needed. Catty figured that was good, but she wasn't sure. He had saved her from the dream, but you can never know about those types of people. She remembered Chris and her heard got a queer ache in it. She sighed. She would spend Saturday looking for the guy.
Catty let the bubbles overtake her, dreaming about Chris. When she heard a creak of a stair she suddenly became alert. Whoever it was was trying not to be heard.
The person stepped into the shadows in the hall, Catty recognized the shape as the mysterious guy. When she saw who it was she nearly fainted.
The person was Chris, the same Chris who had left to search for the Secret Scroll Catty had lost in the tunnel.
"I must be dreaming," Catty said.
'You're not dreaming, Catty. It was defiantly Chris. Only he could say her name with that much lovingness in it.
Catty suddenly felt embarrassed and sunk deeper into the water.
"Catty, I have to talk to you." He stepped into the light so she could see him better. His hair was still red and spiked, and he was still wearing his red Reeboks. Yup. Defiantly Chris. But how?
"I know you just got here and everything, but could you let me dry off? Please Chris." she let his name roll of her tongue, and her let her dry and dress in private.
He was waiting in the living room. Catty jumped into his outstretched arms and he swung her around. Then he put her down. "We need to talk."
"How did you get here? Did you find the Secret Scroll?" Catty asked.
Chris shook his head. "Was forced to follow the Scroll into the -0's and I was talking to the first batch of daughters, and one had a vision. She said that in the year 2002 a member of the inner circle, Crypten, would plan to overthrow the Atrox, and turn the goddess Catty to the Atrox. The Atrox knew about capturing you, but not about trying to overthrow. The Atrox sees you as a member of the inner circle. That's what I was trying to warn you about last night. But you were even more beautiful than I remembered you, so I couldn't help but kiss you. When I saw you had traveled back in time, I was going to talk to you, but you ran away."
Catty sat next to Chris taking it all in. So she was right.
"I have to go, Catty. But I will always be with you. I won't leave until I know you're safe. I love you Catty." Chris whispered. His lips lingered over hers, then he kissed her.
When Catty opened her eyes, Chris was gone.
