KP - A Most Unusual Halloween

AN: This isn't going to be for much longer, so I hope you've all been enjoying this story so far. :)

Chapter Five: Kim can't do anything

After the sudden silence that followed Ron's loud and anguished yell. She had cried out Ron's name for it was a yell of pain that struck Kim to the heart in fear for his well being. She starts to pound against the wall with her fists, trying to break through but it doesn't yield to her punches or any of her kicks that she tries next.

Kim yells, "Ron! Answer me! Are you all right?" For a long couple of heartbeats all Kim hears is complete silence. Not even the voice that she heard talking to Ron was saying anything. She strains her ear against the wall and thinks she heard a low groan followed by the words, "KP" which told her that he was still alive but she did not like the groan.

Kim shouts, "Whoever's out there better let me through to help Ron or I promise you I'll make you regret hurting him!"

Silence follows for another few moments before the voice she heard before came very loudly through the wall and she knew that the person was just on the other side, probably very close. The voice, still muffled through the wall says, "If you can get to your friend, I will give you a gift. I will help your friend with his wounds..." and then it laughs and it starts to grow softer which told her that the person was moving away.

Kim yells as loudly as she can, "Ron! Are you still there?" Hoping that the person didn't take her friend with them. She strains against the wall and listens before she hears another groan but nothing beyond that.

Kim steps back from the wall, biting her lower lip in thought. Her mind was racing and her heart was beating hard, for she knew she had to get to Ron and right away! Kim frowns as she looks around the corridor that she was in and all that she could see was a torch and the stones that made up the corridor. She knew that there must be some way for the door to be opened or the mysterious person couldn't have dragged Ron through it but she had yet to find the button or lever that would let her through.

Tears fall from her eyes to her cheeks as she thinks of Ron so injured, bleeding and who knows what else. It was agonizing for her that it was all probably just happening a few feet from the door that she couldn't get through. She curls up her hands into tight fists as she made up her mind not to let her oldest and dearest friend down. She would get through that door.

Kim yells as she starts to push the door with all her strength, hoping that it would be enough to move the door. To her surprise and pleasure, it gives a little under her pushing. This gives her confidence and strength that her plan to push the door open would work.

Using her strong legs developed from years of cheerleading and fighting bad guys around the world, she pushes along with her arms as she tries not to think of how Ron might be hurting. She closes her eyes to focus on the pushing of the slowly giving door before her and images of her friend Ron laughing, smiling, joking with her.

All the times that he'd been there for her when she needed him from the time she locked braces to camp Wannaweep to all her adventures together fighting the bad guys floated before her closed eyes and yet she could not open them as every imagine seemed to give her more and more strength, allowing her to push the door more harder and making the door slide open more quickly.

Before she knew it, the door was slowing down again before it came to a stop with it fully open and she opens her eyes. The moment she opened her eyes she wished she could close them and see everything that she'd been seeing before but she knew if she did, this time she would only see the image she'd seen when she saw him.

Ron was laying with his back against a old fashioned table and his eyes were closed. His blond hair was more of a mess than usual with blood coming from somewhere under the mess and it had run down his face as his head was tilted forward with his face looking very pale. His costume had a hole in the front with more blood leaking from it and one of Ron's hand was covered in the blood as he had apparently placed his hand over the bloody hole in his chest.

Kim felt the blood drain from her own face as she saw how Ron looked and blinked back her tears for a second before she overcomes her shock at seeing her friend like that and bolts forward to quickly join her best friend by his side.

Kim weakly says, "Ron... " Before she puts her hand on his shoulders and says in a louder voice, "Ron! I'm here! It is me! Kim!" She shakes his shoulders before she stops and thinks that the shaking probably wasn't helping. She reaches a hand down to the hole in his shirt and touches it with two of her fingers, trying to draw back the costume shirt so she could look at his wound.

Ron hears Kim and groans softly as she touches his chest wound, which causes her to jerk, her fingers back quickly and look at his face. He slowly opens his eyes and weakly says, "H-hey KP... You...NGhhhh made it..."

Kim says, "Ron... you shouldn't talk. Save your strength." But Ron shakes his head and says, "S-Sorry KP... I let you down..." and then raises his bloody hand up to try to grab at his chest as he groans softly.

Kim grabs at his hand and holds it, looking into his eyes she says, "You didn't let me down..." Tears come down her cheeks as she says, "I am the one who let you down... you got hurt because of me."

Ron says, "D-d-don't KP... I know you Ughhh... did everything... you could. That is who Nnnngh you are. Don't change because of... me. The world needs... you"

Kim's tears are still flowing as she moves her hand that doesn't have Ron's blood on it up to his pale face and says, "Ron... I couldn't save the world without you." After a long pause she looks at Ron in the eyes and adds, "You are why I save the world."

Ron looks at Kim in a very touched way and raises his free hand up, and it too is covered with his blood on it and says as he touches her face with his fingers leaving a thin trail of his blood on her tear-stained cheeks which causes the blood to flow down to her chin, "I know... and I worked to save you. OOhhh gods You are my world Kim... I couldn't let any harm... come to you bec-cause of me." With those last words he closed his eyes and laid his head back against the table while Kim tightens her grip on Ron's hand that is still in hers.

Kim says, "R-Ron?" and when she gets no response she cries out, "No! Ron! You've got to stay! I can't lose you!" She brings his bloody hand still in hers up to rub her cheek as she says, "Please Ron, wake up! Wake up!"

Kim didn't know what to do for once in her life. She had always been so in charge, so sure that she could handle anything and do anything. But now she was faced with watching her best friend and someone she loved dearly fading away from her. She hated to admit it, but she had never been more scared of anything in her life. The thought of losing Ron to something she never even got a chance to face was more terrifying than losing her own life.

Suddenly Kim hears sound soft chuckling and she turns her head towards the direction and in the shadows of the doorway was obviously a figure. The only part of the mysterious figure was a woman's hand as it pointed at the two of them. The figure in shadows says, "I see you reached your friend. For that I shall give you the gift of help that I promised."

The figure starts to laugh again just as Kim jumps to her feet and says, "If you can help Ron, then do it now! Please!" With the last word, there is a very strong sense of urgency and fear in her voice.

The mysterious woman says, "Very well, I shall... and remember this, the gift I give to you on this Halloween night is one that you shall forever keep to your heart. That is both my trick and my treat to you both."

Kim says loudly, "What are you talking about?" as she knows that every second wasted is a second that Ron slipped further away from her and any possible help.

The mysterious woman cackled and says, "You'll know, I have the utmost confidence in you Kim Possible." The only visible part of her, which was her hand raises and points at Kim before she says, "Remember that your friendship together is strong enough to change the world..." Suddenly a bright light erupts from her fingers and it seems to have force as it knocks into Kim and sends her flying backwards hard enough to hit her head where she'd hit it before and knocking her out.

AN: Sorry that this chapter is so short but I want to wrap this story up by Halloween. As you can see Ron was seriously hurt and Kim can't seem to help him in any way. Now that Kim's been knocked out, is this curtains for Ron?

Harufu: Well, as you can see it wasn't either of those costumes. I hope you like where it is going as I tend to wrap this up before Halloween!

Gundum M: Ron and Kim are wearing Everlot costumes, though the villain costumes were a good guess.
