Ch. 2, The Hidden Truth

Hours later, Kathryn is in Charlie's bathroom looking for some Midol. She opens the cabinet, "Okay where is it…" she picks up a bottle, "Eh? This isn't Midol! What does Charlie need with anti-depressants for?"

"Kathryn those are my happy pills, the Midol is in my sisters bathroom," she then mumbles something about 'thanks to Grievous'.

"What was that?" asked Kathryn.

"Oh nothing," Charlie walks off slapping herself on the head.

"Whatever Charlie," said Kathryn as she left Charlie's bathroom in search of the Midol in Charlie's older sister's bathroom.

Another hour later, Kathryn is looked at Charlie who was sleep talking.

"Wha?" she mumbled.

Charlie muttered in her sleep, "No- stop please- I didn't do anything- stop-…"

Kathryn got up and started shaking her, "Charlie! Wake up!"

"Stop I told you all I know- please stop-" her eyes snapped open, she was sweating and breathing heavily.

"Are you alright?" asked Kathryn looking confused and worried.

"Huh… yeah… I'm fine… just a bad dream," said Charlie panting.

"Are you sure?" asked Kathryn.

"Yeah… yeah I'm sure… yes sure… I'm sure," Charlie grabbed her head trying to force out the images of Grievous torturing her.

"Do you need some medicine?" asked Kathryn.

It had been only been a few months ago when she had went to the worlds of star wars, and gotten her beating from General Grievous. She met her favorite characters, got her power crystal, and the title of warrior World Guardian. "No I'm good." during since then charlie had her birthday, which was on halloween and she was now living the life of a fifteen-year-old.

Kathryn wasn't convinced, "Okay…, "Kathryn finally sees the strange looking necklace around her neck, "you sleep with a necklace on?" she shivers, "That would make me feel like I was gonna choke."

"It's no big deal for me" said Charlie.

"Charlie, you're weird!" stated Kathryn.

"You're weirder," Charlie mumbled.

"But Nathan's weirdest!" smiled Kathryn.

Charlie laughed and she went back to sleep, being kathryn couldn't sleep.

Kathryn was disturbed again by Charlie again, but this time she wasn't as loud.

"Why are you doing this… I don't understand… stop please I've done nothing wrong!" whined Charlie.

"Charlie-kun!" Kathryn cried shaking Charlie, "Wake up Charlie!"

"Stop Grievous!" cried Charlie, Kathryn froze, "some one help me!"

"CHARLIE WAKE UP!" yelled Kathryn.

Charlie woke up and looked at Kathryn who was horrified, "I'm sorry Kathryn!" she started to cry, "I would tell you but you wouldn't believe me!"

"You're talking to someone with an overly active imagination… try me." Said Kathryn.

"Imagination's got nothing to do with it" sighed Charlie.

"Just try me Charlie-kun, I always believe you… cross my heart and hope to die…" said Kathryn, "even though i'm already dead."

"You won't laugh or call me crazy," she pulled her shirt up showing her stomach. And Kathryn saw the strange looking burn marks and bruising. "I was tortured about two months ago." Kathryn ran her fingers across a burn mark and pulled back quickly as Charlie winced. "They were done by… a light saber."

"A light saber… isn't that what they use in star wars?" asked Kathryn.

"It is," mumbled Charlie.

"Wow" blinked Kathryn.

"It was General Grievous, he wanted to keep me because I had a lot of information that I couldn't give!"

"What information?" asked Kathryn.

"Our world," mumbled Charlie. Kathryn cocked her head to the side, "Nick walked in on me in the bathroom and saw the marks he told Nora, and she told Niles, they all thought I did it to myself"

"Well anyone who knows anything should know that you couldn't have done this to yourself, specially not in some of the places." said Kathryn.

"I know… I wasn't about to tell them the truth, I had to come up with something. Now they all think i'm suicidal." mumbled Charlie.

"That suxs," stated Kathryn.

"That's not the worst part-" a sudden loud pop cut her off and a woman appeared in Charlie's room "Inca"

Kathryn blinked for a moment, "What the-"

"Charlie… finally-" the woman saw Kathryn, "Oh boy… you… your not suppose to… Charlie?"

"Inca this is Kathryn, Kathryn Inca" said Charlie smiling weakly.

Kathryn cocked her head, "Inca, strange name, isn't that one of the goddess of the lost city of Atlantis?"

"I was named after her because she is my great-great-great-great grandmother!" said Inca.

Kathryn blinked again, "cool!"

"Inca is from the world of Atlantis" said Charlie.

"Sweet!" smiled Kathryn.

"Inca is living in the star wars world for the time being-"

"Which is why I'm here. There is a rumor that Grievous has found a part of some short of power!" explain Inca.

Charlie shuddered at the thought of Grievous, "What power and how?"

"I don't know. It could be a trap to bring you back or it could be the real thing!" replied Inca.

Kathryn listened, "Grievous, isn't that your favorite character Charlie-kun?"

"Yeah as far as this world goes, not when I'm around him," said Charlie.

"What do you mean?" asked Kathryn.

"I'm sorry to interrupt World Guardian but we must be going." said Inca.

"Going? And leave me here with Niles! NO! Take me with you!" cried Kathryn.

"Sorry Kathryn, I won't be gone long, it'll be just a second to you!" said Charlie.

"She can't take you" said Inca.

Kathryn sighed sadly, Charlie felt bad for her, "Inca didn't you say that other guardians were dead?"

"yes" replied Inca as Kathryn cocked her head to the side.

"Well couldn't Kathryn and Nathan be them?" asked Charlie.

Inca sighed, "you can't make this easy can you?"

charlie smiled.

"Please!" asked Kathryn giving a puppy dog face to Inca.

Inca sighed, "Alright"

Kathryn jumped up, "YAY!"

"But we can't do it here, now go get this Nathan and do please hurry" whined Inca as the three of them disappeared and then reappeared in Nathan's bedroom.

He looked up and saw them, "HOLY SHIT!"

"Nice to see you too pretty boy" said Kathryn.

"No way… I'm dreaming" he rubbed his eyes and looked at them, "shit no I'm not."

"We don't have time for this," said Inca to Charlie.

"Of course you're not dreaming" said Kathryn as she walked over to Nathan and slapped him, "if this were a dream that wouldn't have hurt."

"Oww" Nathan glared at her.

"We have to go, I'll explain it later Nathan," said Charlie.

Kathryn dragged Nathan out of bed and Charlie looked him over, "Nathan why are there teddy bears on your pjs?" Kathryn giggled at him.

Inca rolled her eyes and then opened a portal, and pushed them into it.
