Chapter 95

Fragile

"Oh no...You're a doll; I mean you turned into..." Randy stopped talking, seeing that Rachel's body was over on the couch and the doll in his hands was weirding him out a little. Rachel tilted her head slightly. "What are you talking about?" she asked. Randy turned her around to see her human self. Rachel gasped. "I-that-but-what?" Rachel mumbled confused and frightened.

"So that's what she meant..." Randy mumbled to himself out loud. Rachel then realized that she was in a dress. "Why do I have to be in a dress?" She complained. Kristy and Alex chucked. "Coz dolls wear dresses." Howard replied. Randy let Rachel down. Rachel sat on the table and crossed her arms. "I hate dresses." she mumbled.

She then got back up and was going to jump or slid off the table but Kristy stopped her. "Rachel, you're porcelain doll. You're very fragile." Kristy told her which made Rachel cross her arms again. Howard poked Rachel's face. "So if Rachel's a doll what's going to happen to her..." Howard stopped in slight disgust. Randy looked at the human Rachel. Rachel was now pacing on the table, starting to have a mental breakdown.

Small clinking noises could be heard as she paced back and forth, frightened. "Howard's right. What's going to happen to me?" she asked. Randy finally snapped out of his confusion and went over to the porcelain Rachel. "Well I know were going to get you back to your normal self. But first you need to calm down." Randy said to Rachel, calmly as he could. She slowly nodded. She calmed herself down. Flare came downstairs and landed on the table. Rachel went over to flare and stroked her gently.

Randy wasn't sure how he was going to get Rachel back but he was hoping the Nomicon would have something useful. Rachel was trying to keep herself calm and laid her head against Flare. She wasn't sure what to do and she knew Kristy was right she was fragile and vulnerable. She was unable to assist Randy if he got into trouble either. Just climbing out of bed was dangerous now. Randy looked for the Nomicon while Howard did...well nothing. Kristy and Alex weren't sure what to do either. Rachel laid against Flare.

Randy found the Nomicon. "Nomicon?" he asked. Nomi appeared. "Yes?" he asked. Randy waved Nomi over to follow him and showed him Rachel from the distance. Nomi saw her then looked at Randy. "What happened?" he asked. "Well... Dark Rachel said it saw some kind of trick that the Sorcerer taught her and before she gave me the doll, she took a little white light from Rachel." Randy tried to explain to Nomi the best he could.

"That little white light was Rachel's life source. Dark Rachel has learned dark magic. I don't know how to fix her. I'm sorry." he said. "What, But we can't leave her like this. What about her body?" Randy asked. Nomi sighed. "I know nothing about how to reverse black magic. I know not of what will happen to her body either." he replied with sadness in his eyes. Randy looked down, feeling his heart begin to sink. Rachel fell asleep against Flare. Kristy had left to go to the sleepover. Alex went to a hotel.

Randy then got an idea but it was a risky one. He was planning to go find Dark Rachel but he wasn't sure how he would get her to turn Rachel back. Dark Rachel was watching from the shadows. Rose was repairing some robots. Randy pretended to go to his room but went outside instead, still wearing his ninja suit. Dark Rachel was watching Rachel from the window. Randy went looking around the yard and stop right under a tree. Dark Rachel saw him. "Hello again." she said. Randy slightly jumped and turn towards her. "There you are. I have something thing to say to you." he said sternly.

"Oh, do you now?" dark Rachel asked. Randy narrowed his eyes. "You probably already know." he said, guessing since she was the one that did it. "Yes, I do. And no, I'm not going to change her back." she replied, disappearing and reappearing inside the house and grabbed Rachel carefully. Randy worriedly looked around and spotted her through the window. Rachel was too tired to wake up. Dark Rachel smirked. Randy smoke bombed to get inside and popped out of the red smoke. "Put her down, carefully!" he said to Dark Rachel. "Why?" she asked. "Because she is made of porcelain..." Randy slowly replied. Dark Rachel smirked. "Come and get her." she told him. She disappeared and reappeared at Mcfist's.
