Obsession part 2 – 24 – The house of his memories part two
Note – Hi everyone! Do you know what today is?! Today is my 1 year anniversary on ! Boo-yah! I know! I have been on this wonderful site for 1 whole year! And I haven't stopped writing stories since! Well, I hope you all enjoy this update! It's kind of long, sorry if the ending might seem to be cut off; I am just super tired and wanted to post this chapter up ASAP! Since I promised my friends I would update 'Obsession' on my anniversary, so YAY, 1 year :-)
"Mrs. Gwen, Alison got hurt over here." Ryan said as he knocked on the nurse's door and Alison walked in.
"What happened to you Ms. Lipsky?" The adult asked as she shooed Ryan off to class.
"Rocky Mash and Danielle, we got into a fight."
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that." She said as she bandaged Alison up and cleaned off the dirt from her hands.
"Now off to class you go, I will be calling your mother or father as well."
"Uh…why?" Alison asked as she stood dead in the door way and looked back.
"Well I am sure they will wonder why you got all beat up and maybe we can get this fight settled. Plus, its my policy as being a nurse." Mrs. Gwen said nodding her red head as Alison sighed and walked off to class. Opening her homeroom door, she looked up at everyone and Rocky snickered with Danielle.
'Pigs,' Alison thought as she shot them both an evil glare and packed her things away. Sitting down, she pulled out her red notebook and noticed something smelled. Her teacher stopped writing on the chalk board and realized the smell also, along with the children who were around her. Moments later the whole class was staring at Alison and she pulled the note book up to her face and then gagged and shoved it back into her bag.
"Ms. Lipsky, did you dog pee on you notebook last night?" Her teacher asked crossing her arms as the class roared with laughter. Alison could feel her cheeks fume up with anger and embarrassment.
"Uh, not that I know of, we had puppies last night."
The class laughed harder and harder.
"I don't find it funny at all, and I would like you to be more careful where you put your items young lady, and go get a new notebook off of the shelf over there." Her teacher said as the children went back to their writing but Danielle bust out laughing.
"Shut up!" Alison growled,
"Ms. Lipsky! Do not tell your classmates to ever shut up! Now would you like to go visit the Principle?!"
"No!"
"Than behave and do as you are told!"
"Ok." Alison muttered as her head drooped and head and got a new notebook off of the shelf and sat back down.
Ryan was in his own class and could not stop thinking about what was going on. He wasn't paying attention in class, if that's what you thought. He was scaring himself, because he could not stop thinking about his family and Marissa.
'She looks a lot like dad, no not dad… Uncle Eddy!' Ryan thought as his little head popped up into the air. 'What was she talking about last night when she left the room to finish on some 'diary'? I mean, who writing in a diary anymore? Alright, her and my sister, I hope not my mom, but that's it I'm sure. Nana has been acting odd to, seems like the whole family has. And who is this Kylie Paris girl? I bet she is H.O.T. Mom always said I am like my Uncle Wego… the one that is still living. Mom miss's the other. She said he died before they were born… Died of a really bad cold I heard. His little heart couldn't handle it. I wonder who I am more like? Mom or dad? I think mom. That's what she said, and Alison is more like dad. Kylie Paris… Kylie Paris… that name! It sounds so… so…'
"And what is that answer Mr. Lipsky?" His teacher said as Ryan shook his head from his day dream.
"Huh? Sorry, what was the question again?"
"It seems like you are not listening Mr. Lipsky. You have been going off into day dreams for far too long now, and it has to stop."
"Listen, I'm sorry, I am just having a lot of problems at home lately. My mom um… she cut her wrists, she is fine, up on her feet. This girl came to our house and decided to make herself at home. My sister was in the hospital and looked like she was mauled to death and,"
"I don't want to hear such stories now go to the Principles office, and tell him what is going on! And Mr. Lipsky, if you act up in my class one more time Mr. you shall be expelled!" Warned the teacher, as Ryan quivered in fear. Being expelled was one of his greatest dreams in life. If he ever was, and his parents found out, that would be a totally different story.
"But I am telling the truth!"
"Ryan?" said a voice behind him as Conner Fisk returned from the bathroom and didn't know what was going on.
"Go to your seat Conner, Mr. Lipsky here is being a bad boy and is going to the Principles office.
"Ugh!" Ryan complained as the teacher glared at him and he wanted to break the door down because he didn't do anything wrong! Ryan hated his teacher, he hated her! She was always picking on him and he knew it was because of his dashing good looks.
"Ill see you later Conner, we really need to talk." He said as he left the room and stopped in the hall way. 'Did I just speak to Conner with out being embarrassed or scared?! YES!' He thought as he walked down to the principles office and the next thing he knew he was in the car with mother going home…
"Ryan I am so angry at you right now!" Shego said as her eyes darted all over the road.
"I'm sorry mom, but I didn't do anything!"
"I don't want to hear it! You have been acting up so many times lately and I really don't need this again! Do you want me to cut the other wrist Ryan?! Do you!?" Shego screamed as Ryan whimpered in fear.
"No-no mom."
"… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, its just," Shego sighed and stopped for a red light. "I found out something out today Ryan that changed my life. Something I can't tell anyone… not anyone."
"You can tell me mom, I mean I am your son."
"I am sorry honey… I can't." Shego said lowering her head as a tear ran down her cheek. 'I have been crying for days now. I can't believe this has happened.' Shego thought whipping it away before her son saw.
"Just, please tell me what happened today in school that you were kicked out for a day?" Shego asked,
"Ok, I was in class and I was pay attention. My teacher is so evil. She is out to get me! I hate her,"
"Get to the point Ryan."
"I was thinking about some stuff for less than three minutes when she gets me in trouble because I wasn't paying attention. And the principle is totally an ass,"
"Ryan!" Shego screamed as she flew off the road and glared at her son. "You're grounded."
"What?!"
"This bad langue has to stop! No television for a week and no time with Toby, Josh and Conner for a week as well. You are going to be punished until you learn to stop saying bad words and doing badly in school!"
"No! You can't!" Ryan cried wanting to cry, he was going to blow his chance with Conner.
"Yes, I can. I am your mother. I gave birth to you, you are my son. I have power of you, now put your belt back on and I am taking you home! And I will be talking to your father about this. So I do not want to hear a pity party that I am picking on you because that is a lie." Shego said as Ryan crossed his arms and buckled his belt as Shego let out some air and started up the car again.
Shego still needed to go to back to her brothers. She needed that scroll. At this moment in time… that scroll was very, very important. It might just be able to save their lives when the time came…
"I have some food in here if you want anything?" Mrs. Lipsky smiled opening her fridge and pulled out some cookies and shared them. Drakken looked at the white fridge and noticed it was new.
"When did you get that?"
"A couple of years ago. I have kept something in this house, and others had to go, since they didn't work or were too old."
"You kept my bike out front."
"It will never leave." She said winking at him, and Dr. Drakken smiled eating a cookie.
"Did dad ever tell you what he did for a living mom?" he asked
"I found out something's. I did do some research after his death."
"He worked in a cult almost." Drakken said as Abby gave him a confused worried look.
"What? Your father never was into that stuff Drew."
"Yes he was. He was in with this man, who wanted to rule the world. I remember once…the man was a killer. And one afternoon, it was before Kylie came over that day, dad showed me…. oh my god." Drakken said jumping up from the table and running out the back door.
"Drew! Wait!" Abby called going after him. Drakken started to run. Run as fast as his legs could carry him. He was running to the back of his fathers old shed. Slowing down, he walked by the horse graveyard and shivered. He remembered his mother's horses. He could almost here their snares and snarls when he was young, as he walked by their graves. Breathing a little bit heavier than usual, since he was running, he cautiously crept around the back of the falling down shed.
Weeds were covered all over the back and grass and leaves were overgrowing everything in site! It looked like a giant trap, that if you placed your foot in the wrong place, you would fall into a giant pit.
Looking for something sharp to cut or pull away at the weeds, Dr. Drakken, saw a hoe next to the door and grabbed it. Brushing off some of the moist dirt on the handle of the hoe, he started to slash away with his might, the weeds and vines.
"Drew!" Abby said coming up to the shed out of breath,
"Sorry mother, I think I remember a piece of my past, and I have to find it." He said slashing the blade down some more on the plants and they split in half.
"W-what are you doing? You are getting all dirty. Please, just stop."
"No." Drakken said as he leaned down and got on his hands and knee's. Brushing away the chopped up grass and leaves, he found himself kneeling on a wooden trapped door.
"Oh my god… what is that?" Abby breathed in surprise titling her head a bit. Drakken couldn't believe what he was seeing. Could it be! Could it be still there! Was it not just a memory? Was the door and the surprise underneath it, something he made up in his mind as a child? Reaching for the brass circle shaped dirty handle, he than ripped open the door and Abby gasped and Drakken was in shock.
Driving up her driveway, Shego shut down the car and Ryan jumped out. Stomping up the gravel and up the brick stairs, he slammed the door and she got his book bag for him. Walking inside herself, she jumped to see Marissa sitting on the couch looking at her.
"Hi." Shego whispered quietly,
"Hey."
"Why is he home so early? I thought you were going out."
"I had to go pick him up from school because he got in trouble again."
"The usual."
"You haven't been here long, only a few days and you know my children." Shego laughed and Marissa looked at her,
"No Shego. I have known them longer," Marissa whispered with fear in her eyes.
"I know… I am going to go talk to Ryan I think." Shego said twisting her fingers and hurried up the stairs leaving his things on the kitchen table.
"… Okay." Marissa whispered in a sad voice as if she didn't even know where she was. Looking out at the window, the sky was getting gray, and soon enough, rain was spitting on the windows.
Knocking on Ryan's door, she opened it.
"What do you want?" He asked angrily.
"Want to make yourself grounded even more?" Shego asked.
"No mom."
"I am going out. I would like you to do some homework that you have to do and clean your room up. Marissa will watch you, she is downstairs. She isn't feeling good. But, no T.V. no phone, and I want all of your homework done." Shego ordered as she kissed his forehead and he tried to push her away, and she left.
"I hate this day." He grumbled slugging down off of his bed with his arms crossed and his eye brows narrowed.
"Argh, this stupid pen." Alison grumbled quietly as she ran it quickly over the white note paper and no ink came out.
"Something wrong Alison?" Rocky asked in a sweet voice, which in Alison's ears… burned like fire.
"Only when I see your face."
"Don't treat me so badly just because your best friend doesn't like you anymore." Rocky snapped back.
"She only went on your side because she found out that she would be popular if she could use you." Alison said and the class dropped their pens and Danielle gasped. The teacher looked up and noticed the children had stopped doing their independent study projects and were looking at Alison.
"What is going on?" She asked.
"Just trying to clear up a big piece of damage that happened this morning." Alison muttered keeping her eyes locked on Danielle who was in complete shock.
"You little twit! I can't believe you would say such a lie! I am going to get you for this Alison. Mark my words; I am going to get you… I swear." Danielle said standing up and pointing a finger at her. Alison shivered in fear and wished she kept her big mouth shut.
"Show her whose boss." Rocky quietly whispered as Danielle sat down and the teacher stood up.
"That's it, I have had it! Ms. Lipsky and Ms. Ford, out into the hallway this instant!"
"Rocky should come to!" Alison cried as the teacher almost physically slapped her across the face and a couple of nasty boys laughed.
"Out!" The teacher screamed.
Stumbling into the hallways, Danielle fell and could have broken a tooth, the fall was so hard. Her knees were now sore and her palms on her hands were tender. Poor Alison. It seemed to her that no one was really listening to her, except for Rocky, but only put her sentences back into her mouth with nasty, hurtful words.
"Now, please explain to me Ms. Ford, what is going on here?" Her teacher asked tapping her feet.
"Well Ms. Border, Alison is just treating me like a dirty rag lately because she thinks my outfit isn't good enough for her. So I can't be seen with her because I don't look good enough!" Danielle said, faking her sobs as she threw her hands in her tan face and the teacher frowned and hugged her.
"Is this true Ms. Lipsky?" Ms. Border glared,
"No! No, not at all! That is a lie! She was outside of the building this morning with Rocky Mash and her gang. So when she came up to me to see if I liked her outfit I thought it was a little to adult for her and she got mad at me. Now, she and Rocky are after me and are trying to make this day a nightmare!"
"Liar!" Danielle screamed getting behind the teacher. Slightly showing a sly smile and Alison nearly attacked her.
"How dare you make up such nonsense! I shall have to call your mother or father Ms. Lipsky. I know you probably don't believe me, but if you start up this year again like your brother dose, I will have to take sever punishment. Now I know you were in the hospital, but that is no reason to cause problems when you get back at school to draw attention to yourself. Go down to the Principles office and wait until your parents pick you up. I am very disappointed in you!" The teacher said and Alison couldn't believe it!
'What did she just say?! Making it up! Lady, have you had sugar for breakfast! Give me a break! I am not making this up!' Alison thought in her mind, but did not dare speak it aloud.
"Yes Ms. Border." Alison with her head drooping a bit as she walked in the class. Children laughed and pointed fingers at her as she grabbed her bags and crystal wet tears feel down her dry face.
'My home life is sad. I have no friends. My crush doesn't love me. My best friend turned into a liar and a backstabber… I have don't have anyone. This year is just beginning in school, and I was in the hospital. My mom cut her wrists, this odd girl shows up… and who is Kylie? Who is she? I am asking Dad when I get home. Oh and Ms. Border is number one, on my despise list at the moment.' Alison thought pushing the door open again and slowly and sadly walking down the hall.
"What-what is all of that?" Abby asked looking in cautiously as Drakken asked her to go get him a flash light and she hurried back to the house. Starting to pace, Drakken knew damn right what it was. He didn't need a flash light. He just needed some time to realize all of this was real. It hadn't moved since his father last closed that secret wooden door. To his expectations, the only people who knew about it were himself and his father.
"Here, I found one in the closet." Abby said handing it to him as he jumped down below and she gasped. "Drew please be careful!"
"I'll be fine, don't you worry." Drakken said flicking it on and coughing a bit. It was so dusty and dirty around here. To his surprise, it looked like a whole basement! There was lots and lots of space, sure it was cramped but it was a underground basement! Drakken couldn't believe it.
"Mom?" He asked brushing away some cob webs.
"Yes?"
"Did you ever know about this place, or the giant storage space we have down here?" He asked as he got on his knees in front of the 3 bulky bags.
"No why? What's down there?" Abby asked feeling a bit of rain sprit from the sky on the back of her neck. "Drew its starting to rain,"
"Good!" Drakken said not even hearing himself say that. His fingers started to quiver as he slowly untied the brown bags and he shined the flash light down deep into them.
"Oh my god." Abby said and almost fainted. Drakken couldn't speak, as he pulled out 3 large bars of heavy solid gold.
"They're real! They're real! Oh my god, they're real!" He cried as he ripped open the other two bags and shone the light down into them, revealing lots and lots of gold solid bars.
"Drew! How did you know about these?!"
"They're real!" He cried in a high pitch voice as he pulled 5 out and crawled out of the pit. The rain was now starting to come down faster and faster but neither adult's seemed to care.
"How did you know? How did you know!?" Abby gasped and smiled as her son wrapped his arms around his mother, nearly chocking her to death.
"I don't believe this! Yes! Thank you god!" Drakken said running in the field and throwing the bars into the air, clenched in his fits. Smiling as the rain pored down and down, he smiled and saw his fathers face flash before him.
"Thank you dad…thank you." He whispered quietly letting his arms down and looking at the bars which were slippery and wet.
"Wont Shego be happy to see what the dad brought home tonight." Drakken smiled again running back over and hugging his mom again.
A half hour later, Abigail and Drakken were soaked from the heavily rain that fell from the sky.
"Whew! That was something!" Abby laughed stepping inside her home and shaking her hands in the air, getting the water off.
"Sure was. Oh I have to fix my hair." Drakken said glancing in the mirror and noticed his spikes were matted because of the rain.
"No you don't, you look fine. Don't be like a girl, you are a man Drew. Men don't care what they think of how they look." Abby laughed.
"Where should I put these?" He asked, holding up the 3 heavy bags of solid gold. "Lets take them into the kitchen. Oh this is so exciting! I cant believe you discovered them. But Drew…" She started taking his hand as he turned on the light in her kitchen.
"How did you know about the gold? How did you know that it was there?"
"You look scared mom… relax."
"I would like to know, I mean, you just don't find gold in your backyard everyday son! I would like to know!"
"Well can I tell you when I get all cleaned up!?" Drakken asked getting a tone with her, and she nodded.
"Thank you! I am going to go dry off. Than we can count them if you want?" Drakken asked running upstairs and going into the bathroom. Flicking on the light he grabbed a green fuzzy towel and splashed his blue face with some cold water. Shaking his head he than whipped his face with the towel and looked in the mirror. Thinking he saw something else in the mirror besides him he slowly brought his face back up to it and saw a different image.
"Kylie?" Drakken whispered, as the head in the mirror had blonde hair and was hanging down. Shaking with confusion and fear he reached out his hand for the mirror, as if the blonde head slowly pulled itself up and Drakken got a shiver down his spine.
"Youuuu know why I am haunting you." Cackled the voice as with a sudden jolt, the head was thrown back, with a smile and Drakken cried in horror and fell back, slipping on some water under his shoes. Drakken had felt unconscious. His head felt like it was split in two pieces. Groaning a bit, he heard the laugh fade away and he rubbed his sore head and looked up glancing at the empty mirror.
'What was that?' Drakken thought as he stood up and got his balance. He thought he had just got too excited because of the gold, and so many beautiful and terrible memories were coming back at him so fast.
"Drew? I heard a crash, are you alright?" Called his mother from downstairs and he called back down to her. "Yes mother, I am fine," "Good, now come down so we can count all of this gold!" Abby said as he shut off the light and walked back downstairs. Rubbing his chilly hands together from the chill of the water he smiled and took them all out carefully from the brown sacks. Nor Abby or Drew were talking, they just kept their eyes on the bars and Abby counted them as he pulled them out. Abby had never been more excited in many years. When she grew up with her sister, they didn't have much, and were considered 'poor'. Greg was the same way, but when they met, and had Drew, all of that changed.
"…Sixty bars!" Abby said almost having a heart attack as Drakken laughed and couldn't believe it, "I don't believe this! This is amazing!" He cried stumbling back into his chair and slapping his hand on his forehead in laughs.
"This is amazing! Drew, I can't believe this! You and Shego I know really need this! Thank you sweetheart. You should be so happy,"
"Thank dad." Drakken said looking at her with a smile. "What? Drew, what are you saying?"
"… I can't believe I remember this, but…" "Yes?" Abby said waiting for an answer, she was so confused and yet happy at the same time. "When I was a child, dad took me behind that shed one afternoon and told me his secret. He opened up that crate and showed me the bars of gold. I-I couldn't believe it. I mean, what family has thousands, I should say millions, of dollars behind their shed?" Drakken exclaimed and Abby needed to sit down for this. "It was the day Kylie had come over. Do you remember that day?" He laughed and she nodded. "I went in the back to see dad and he was working with this machine," "Machine? What ever happened to that machine?" Abby asked and Drakken shrugged quickly, "Anyway, this big shiny machine and I asked him what it was I think, I don't really remember and he pulled me to the back of the shed. He-he told that the gold was mine once he was gone, and that… that the machine was used for molding! Yes, molding!" Drakken said remembering it more clearly now. "He never got to tell me the rest of the story behind the gold, just only that if you stick a bar of gold into the machine, while it works… it will take the shape of a solid gold chain."
"A gold chain." Abby said thinking aloud, "I guess." Drakken shrugged and sighed and looked at the gold. It shimmered in the dim lights and was thrilled to know that Shego would never have to worry about being poor again. Running his fingers through his hair, his cell phone came alive and vibrated on his belt, and he jumped.
"What's the matter?" "Cell." Drakken said flipping it open and saying 'hello.'
"Hi sweetie, it's Shego."
"Hey, how are you? Are you at your brothers?"
"No actually I am going to go their now, but I just got a call from our kid's school and Alison is being sent home." Shego said with a sharp tone.
"What happened? Is she alright?" Drakken asked worriedly.
"Fine in the case that she isn't hurt, but she is being sent home for disrupting the class, and I just got home with Ryan as well."
"Doesn't sound like Alison at all. Did they tell why? What happened with Ryan?"
Shego sighed, "I don't feel like telling you're a large biography of our children and their school problems over the phone right now Drakken, just if you can I want you to please pick up Alison and bring her home a.s.a.p."
"Sure, uh yeah mom and I are on our way." Drakken said signaling to Abby he had to go by jingling his keys and she turned off the fire and closed the house up.
"Where are you anyway?" Shego asked,
"Actually, that is a surprise that you will know later, and Dr. D has another big surprise for his sexy assistant when he gets home."
Shego laughed, "Okay tiger, just hold yourself in place until you get home. Ill see you in a little while. I love you. Oh, and Marissa is going to watch Ryan, he is being punished. I am heading off to my brothers, bye." Shego said as Drakken said his goodbyes and flipped off his cell.
"Is everything alright?" Abby asked her son. "Yes, everything is alright I guess, Ryan and Alison had to come home from school today, Shego didn't tell me why. But I have to go pick Alison up now and I was wondering if maybe we could head off?" Drakken said and she smiled and nodded.
"You want to take all of this gold home with you?" Abby asked stuffing the bars the best she could into the dirty brown sacks.
"Well, if you would like a bag mom you can keep one here for yourself,"
Abby laughed with a raspy voice, "Drewbie, sweetheart, since when dose an old woman like me start having gold bars in her purse… you take them home to your family." She smiled.
Getting his coat, Drakken saw the picture that hung on the wall of his father and winked, "Thanks dad, you are the best. Always have been."
"Oh my, the weather is terrible out!" Abby exclaimed catching her hat as it nearly blew off her gray head and flicked off the lights and locked the door. "Drew, please help me get down the stairs. I need you."
"Its okay, don't worry, I'm here." Drakken said, 'I never talked like this when I was a villain, oh how I have changed!'
