I don't like him, I don't like him, I don't like him. OH! Hello, I was just trying to talk myself into something. Hi, here's the last chapter which is no laughing matter. I thank you for all and any more reviews I get. I plead with you, after you read this chapter, please review. I like to know how many people have read my story and what they think of it. Please.
All answers should be answered in this chapter, or maybe more will be asked. Anyway, it has the world's best line at the end. I love it. No, don't scroll down to read it, just read through the chapter first. I hope you like it as much as I did, or more.
Chapter Three
"Save Me"
I walked back and forth in Ed's room. He sat against the wall with his legs laying on it. He looked more confused than ever.
"Why, I ask you, was she so frightened?" Double D sat next to Veronica, both in heavy thought.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ed asked.
"I know what I 'm thinking, but you probably aren't... thinking..." I looked at Ed standing on his head, "that."
"What?" Veronica asked.
"Do you remember the day you came back, two days ago... that dream..."
"Forgive me for interrupting but what are you planning to theorize? Are you crazy Eddy? You aren't thinking that the dream, the nightmare we had dreamt is coming true do you?"
I frowned at him, "Yes." He gave me a disappointed look as if I had done something bad. He stood, walked to Ed's door and looked at me.
"Pardon my bluntness, you ARE crazy Eddy." Then he left.
"I hope for all our sakes that this isn't what is happening," Ed said in an unusually serious tone.
"Me too, but I 'm not gonna be an idiot and try to forget how similar what we have seen is to our nightmare."
"Similar? I didn't know that word was in your vocabulary," Veronica noticed.
"Ha ha baby."
She frowned, "Well let's not do anything drastic until we are sure. I don't think it is."
"Of course you don't, dreams aren't supposed to come true."
"In the movie, "Off the press: Processed dreams of the seventh dimension" they do!"
"Thanks for that information Ed."
"You're welcome!" Ed saluted going to the door, "And now I'm going to go home and hide!" He left the room leaving me alone with Veronica. I looked at her; she swallowed hard. I couldn't help the way I was staring at her. She looked away but I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. She smiled lovingly at me but I could tell it was all platonic.
"Veronica, all those marks I found... Some were old and dried up and some were new and wet."
"Were all the old ones in the houses that were in our dream?" She became excited and supprised. I thought about it for a moment and then my mouth hung open. "Yes?" Veronica asked with fearfull anticipation. I nodded feeling sick in my stomach. She held onto me scared. "What if our dreams are coming true?" she asked.
"What do we do?" I grabbed her.
"I don't know tell Double D and Ed?"
"We should, but, why are we in such a rush?" I felt hose hands on me and I smiled at my hands on her and at how close we were. She breathed hard and tried to back away from me but I had her trapped.
"Eddy don't you have any self control?
"Nope!" I answered petting her. I wiped my lips down her face to her neck and chest where I began to grope her.
"Stop it Eddy."
"You want it right?"
"Yes."
"Then don't use the word 'stop'," I kissed her lips.
"I'll never give in, just stop it."
"I can't helped myself, I have such a hunger for you... come on, you know how it feels baby."
"Stop it," she slid out of my arms and went to the door but I shut it on her.
"It's very easy to open the door right on you, so don't think you can stop me."
"Not anymore," I toppled her to the ground and began to kiss her.

"You are very sleazy for a thirteen year old boy," Jenson smirked. Eddy frowned at the man. "So go on kid."
"I don't want to go on."
"Then skip over that part." Jenson shrugged his shoulders and looked at Salanta who seemed uncomfortable with the situation.
"We didn't do anything."
"Oh yeah? Then go on."

Double D came into the room and shouted, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"I got off Veronica and she stood with a blushing face. I watched as she tried to hide that she was beginning to cry. Edd frowned at me so I straightened by clothes back. But Double D wasn't happy.
"Veronica?" he asked weepy.
"What?" Veronica couldn't hide the weepiness in her own voice. She looked at Double D so that I couldn't see her face.
"Why would you let Eddy do this to you?"
"I wasn't going to..." she gave up explaining and left. Edd followed after her. I leaned up against the door and listened to them outside.
"Veronica, don't be upset. I never want to upset you. I - I just don't know why you would ever let Eddy kiss you, let alone touch you." He sounded so jealous. I could hear Veronica crying along with him.
"I don't fight enough."
"You shouldn't have to. You should be with the person you love, and the person who loves you back..." I knew he was about to tell Veronica about his own feelings toward her so I walked out onto the patio.
"All the X's I found, there were fresh and old ones. The houses with the old ones were in the houses that that monster had been in, in the dream."
"What if someone else put those there, the builders of the houses and the new ones are just as old but they are in a more dank environment," Double D tried to rationalize what he hadn't seen on Kevin's roof.
"Shut up, what's the chances of that happening?"
"Well what's the chances of our dreams coming true?"
I was silent, "Why couldn't they be true?"
"Listen to what you are saying Eddy," he looked at me with rage in his eyes.
"What if it wasn't a dream?" I asked.
Double D was now alarmed, "What are you saying?"

The next day me, Double D, and Veronica didn't see Ed anywhere so we looked around for him. We found him in front of a police station. The big guy stared into a window ignoring us.
"Ed we've been waiting for you to get your big can at my house, why are you here?" I yelled.
"Eddy! We all have the right to a life outside of each other at least some of the time. Ed can do things on his own," Double D yelled at me.
"I don't think it's a good idea for him to be alone now." Ed didn't say anything or look at us still.
"Ed, why are you here? I f you don't mind me asking," Double D looked concerned.
He didn't look at us, or move; only said, "I had a dream last night."
"What of it?"
"Eddy, think about it, a dream," Veronica swallowed hard.
"Ed, it wasn't an horrible dream, was it?" Double D asked. We were silent and still, just like Ed, waiting for an answer. Ten seconds past, but Ed didn't say anything. He watched the window carefully. I couldn't help but want to know why he found that large window interesting. We continued to wait. Double D didn't ask the question again; Veronica didn't comment anything. The sun was blocked by so many different dark clouds that day, creating a dreariness in us.
"Yes," Ed answered almost as if he was half asleep, "That creature was chasing us, we ran here, no wait, we were chasing it here."
"Why would we do that?"
"It was a dream Double D," I elbowed him.
"But when it came here it jumped onto the roof and police officers came out and forced us to the ground and then the creature came down, off the roof." I looked at my friends' faces, they listened as if the dream was what was going to happen. "It did things to us, killing us."
Double D swallowed hard, "What things?"
"I don't want to talk about what it did to you guys," we heard him sniffle, "But it , it picked me up by the throat and threw me in the air and I fell down and smashed into allot of pieces but I was still alive." Ed turned to us, he had the most miserable, horrified, angry look on his face, "That thing ate my legs and then, then I forgot everything that happened in the dream. But I can't forget. I bled to death."
"How, what do you mean you forgot everything?" Double D asked.
"I forgot." Veronica crossed her arms.
"That must have been terrible," Double D put a hand on Ed's shoulder.
"Gross," I said.
"Why would the police help the creature?" Veronica went to where Ed was standing and looked into the window. She then pointed, "That's, that's that one woman we saw!" Her shout broke the gloom. Me and Double D raced over to the window and saw that one brunette woman who had a gun in the dump.
"What is she doing there?" I asked.
"Maybe she's a police woman," Double D answered.
"Why was she in the dump?" Ed asked.
"She said that she was looking for something," veronica said.
"But what?" Ed went to the door and put his hand on the door handle. At that same moment we heard a roar and something fell on my head. It bounced off to the ground. We looked at it, it was a red shingle. Looking up, we knew what it was. A black head, grey body, great, vein-full wings leaned over the edge of the roof, that creature stared at us with the coldest eyes. We screamed and ran inside the building just to be plummeted to the ground as the place shook. Something beat against the door Ed was holding. All the policemen looked at us. Some men came over just as afraid as we were and tried to keep that door from opening. The brunette woman looked at us, and the door.
"It's those kids!" she screamed. More policemen freaked out.
"Are you sure?" an officer asked.
"Yes!" Another roar came from behind the door. Vicious scratching made me doubt that we would be alive in a few minutes. My dream came back to me in pictures so real.

"GO BACK TO THE DEPTHS YOU CAME FROM!" I yelled with power. The creature screeched and thrust me to the wall. It looked down at Veronica, Double D, and Ed's body, then at the pitchfork handle-deep in its body. It put its claws on the metal handle and broke it in two. My eyes bulged and I shook, ready to give in to my fate. There was no way out of it. Double D grabbed Veronica to protect her. The thing grabbed her and threw her out the window, it broke down into so many pieces. I couldn't see her anymore, where was she! It picked Double D up and looked at him. "What do you want?" I cried. The thing looked to me, still holding my friend. "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US? WE CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING! WE HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING!" I sobbed with tears down my face. The creature looked back to Double D, not listening to my screams. "WAIT! LOOK AT ME!" The thing continued to ignore me altogether. I limped over on two broken legs. The pain was ignored until I fell over onto the ground. I crawled over to the creature, over rubble. Passing Ed's pool of blood and the plaster, I grabbed onto the creature's legs. It looked down at my gazing eyes. I heard Double D choking, but nothing else. "LOOK AT ME!" Its blood dripped onto my face. I put a hand on it and looked at the black fluid. With trembling lips, a large lump taking over my throat, and hatred in my eyes, I screamed, "YOU EAT ME! AND DIE! YOU EAT ME! And..." my voice collapsed. The thing lifted a foot and was about to stomp on my head when I heard a gun shot. The creature screamed. I heard voices as the thing stepped on my head softly, at least I thought. I heard screams from men, I saw police officers, guns, blood, and heard more roaring.

Suddenly the fighting against the door stopped. The roars were gone. We heard flapping, then nothing. Ed got off the door and walked over to the woman.
"You now what's going on," Ed shouted madly, "What were you doing in the dump?"
"Nothing kid," she shouted.
"Calm down Jeane," a man ordered.
"I knew it," she turned to the man, "I knew they'd find out, the tranquilizer didn't work, you should have listened to me!" she began to cry. We looked at the police officers there, terrified.
"What are you talking about?" Veronica asked. They just stared. "What is FREAKING GOING ON HERE?" she yelled.
"Separate them," a man said grabbing 'Jeane'. An officer grabbed me and pulled me to a hallway while the other four officers grabbed my friends. The man that had me, threw me in here where you guys came in after a long time.

Eddy had his head low as he remained in a wooden chair. He lifted his eyes to Salanta but the man was writing on his clip board. Ater a while he adjusted his glasses and looked over to Jenson. Full of thoughts, Jenson stared at the ground.
Eddy looked at him and frowned, "The creature is real, isn't it?" Jenson looked at Salanta who threw up his hands and left. And that was what made Eddy swallow hard. The police officer took out his gun and approached Eddy. He got out of his chair but Jenson beat him with the gun, with Eddy's hand on the door knob. Smash, that gun barrel hit his back three more times making Eddy fall to the floor weakly. Jenson was in a fit of rage beating Eddy. He picked up his battered body and punched him in the face.
"You stupid kid," he mumbled holding him to his mouth. "If you want to live you will keep quiet." Eddy moaned, blacking out. Jenson shook him violently, "We're trying to keep that monster, demon, animal, or cursed man, we are trying to keep it from the world. If they don't know about it they can live. so keep quiet." Jenson dragged Eddy back to the chair and set him down.
"EDDY!" he heard Veronica scream. Jenson turned to the door where Veronica, Ed, and Double D burst in and found Eddy in his condition. Jenson glared at the police officers who soon followed.
"What did you do to him?" Ed asked going over to Eddy.
"Just persuading him to keep quiet," Jenson answered smirking. as if he hated them more than the creature.
"We don't know where that monster is so leave us out of it!" Edd yelled in a defensive rage. Salanta came into the room with needles.
"Don't worry little boy, you soon will be, you won't even remember," Jenson laughed.
"Jenson!" Salanta scolded once again. He handed another police officer two of the needles. The four kids stared in horror.
"What are those for?" veronica asked holding on to Edd.
"We can keep quiet if it's that important to you," Eddy said half-conscious. Salanta shook his head slowly as he pierced one of the needles into a bottle. He then fixed his eyes on Ed.
"We won't tell anyone. We'll just stay out of it," Edd swallowed hard.
"We can forget all about that creature," Ed said.
"No you can't," Salanta said with misery in his eyes as if he knew exactly what they had to deal with. He looked Ed deep in the eyes, "No one can." Then he injected the needle into his side. "Ow!" didn't even escape Ed's lips before he fell over.
"Ed!" Veronica ran over to him.
"What did you inject him with?" Edd yelled.
"Tranquilizer," Jenson rolled his eyes.
"Why?" Edd was crying, he could not understand.
"We tranquilized you four last time with a formula to induce amnesia. It makes you forget what happened."
"Last time?" Veronica said shaking Ed.
"Yes, you met that creature that terrorized you and after this station received a complaint about a bunch of noise down at Peach Creek Junior High, we went down there to find you had fought the creature. We showed up just in time, Ed was bleeding to death, Veronica had suffered a concussion and severe cuts, Eddy was about to be stomped on, and Edd was in its claws. We saved your lives, you should thank us. We tranquilized you all but it seems it didn't work well enough."
"That was just a dream!" Edd screamed.
"No, no it wasn't. I wish I could tell you it was, but that thing is still on the loose."
"We will catch it.," Jenson said going to the door and leaving. Salanta and the other men constrained and injected them. Eddy watched as Veronica and Edd were let go of and they fell to the ground unconscious.
"Remove them," Salanta said going over to Eddy. He felt a needle in his bruised body and then started to numb. His eyes became heavier. Salanta stopped down to the chair's height, "We perfected the formula, so this time you shouldn't remember a thing Eddy. It will all be normal again." Eddy's breathing became harder and he lost vision. "Wh... what... is.. normal?" he asked, looking down at his friends being dragged off. The last words Eddy perceived before going into an induced slumber were fuzzy and faded with each syllable.
"It's what ever you believe it to be."
