Back to normal
Rachel waited for them to get to his house. They soon arrived and Randy went into his house from the back. Rachel wouldn't make eye contact with him. Randy then let her down from his hand. She walked off. "Now what?" she asked. She hadn't spoken to him in a long while so this was the first time she spoke up. "I don't know..." he replied quietly. Rachel looked at the locket. "Maybe if we put the locket on me..." she suggested. Randy seem to perk up at her suggested and nodded in agreement.
She seemed so unsure of it though. She started to walk towards the couch but about half way there she just kind of stopped and sat on the ground putting her head in her hands. "What if this doesn't work?" she asked softly. Randy just sighed as he walked up to her. He wished he knew the answer but he didn't have a clue. Rachel had tears streaming down her cheeks. She was frightened. "It's worth a try." Randy finally said to her. He was sad to see Rachel hurting so badly. Rachel nodded slowly. She stood back up and approached the couch.
Randy watched her. Rachel couldn't climb up the couch by herself. Randy went over to help her up just when Howard walked in and saw them. Rachel looked over and saw him. "Hi Howard." she said as if everything was normal. "...Aaah!" Howard screamed with a petrified looked on his face and quickly ran out of the room. Randy didn't say anything and looked at Rachel. Rachel shrugged. "Don't look at me." she said and looked back towards the couch. Randy sighed and let her on the couch. Rachel touched the small locket to herself but it didn't seem to do anything. "It's not working." she said. "It should do something." Randy replied as took a closer look at the locket she was holding. Rachel wasn't sure. "I don't know..." she said. The locket was cracked slightly.
"Hey the locket looks like it has crack." Randy said with wide eyes. She saw it. "Is that bad?" she asked softly. "...Um maybe." Randy replied, not really sure what to say. Rachel sighed and focused on it. The light in the locket glowed brightly. Randy back away a little from her. While Howard was in the kitchen, eating. The light died down after a while and the doll lied motionless on top of Rachel. Randy poked the doll then lightly shook Rachel by the shoulder. "Rachel." he said worriedly. Her chest rose and fell as she took a deep breath. She slowly opened her eyes. "Randy?" she asked gently. "Ye-ah it's Me." he replied. Howard peeked into the room once again.
She sat up slowly, her limbs numb and aching. She moaned softly. She saw the doll and held it. She sighed and placed it on the table and just fell back onto the couch because she hurt. Howard walked closer to them. "Wait, Randy? What the juice you got stank!" he exclaimed. "Yes Howard I got stank..." Randy replied unhappily. Rachel smiled gently. "At least you have control over it." she said. Randy nodded then his eyes widened. "Do you guys think the Nomicon knows about this?" Randy said. "I hope not." Rachel replied then glanced at her locket. She took it off and slipped it around Randy's neck. Before Randy could even look down at the locket, he quickly changed back to normal as the ninja. Rachel smiled. "Can I have it back now?" she asked softly.
Randy blinked. "Uh yeah...Thanks?" he replied and give it back to her. Howard stared at him. Rachel nodded and put it on. Randy took off his mask. "So what you look like stank...Huh." Howard said with a shrug. Rachel gasped softly and laid back down cause ah hurt all over. "Rachel, are you ok?" Randy asked. "I hurt all over cause of what dark Rachel did..." she replied. Randy glanced around and put the ninja mask back on to use the art of healing on her. Howard face palm. Rachel smiled softly. It healed her but she was still a little sore. "thanks." she said. "You're quite welcome." Randy replied sounding a little happier. Howard left the room again. "Man all this walking is making me sweat." Howard said to himself. Nicki appeared to help Rachel to her room so she could rest.
Randy just stood in the living room slightly worried that Nomicon might know about him getting stank'd. Nomi appeared behind him. "How is she?" he asked. Randy's eyes widened and turned around to see him. "Uh she's doing well. Just a little sore that's all." he replied. "That's good." he replied. Randy nodded and began to leave the room. "Oh and Randy, Try to keep your emotions under control next time alright?" Nomi said before disappearing. Randy stopped to look back and then sighed. "Yeah... " he said to himself and left to his room. Rachel was sleeping in her room. Howard heard Randy walked in. "I'm guessing you don't want to play grave punchers?" Howard asked. Randy looked over at the screen. "...Why not." he replied.
Rachel woke up and looked out the window, seeing it was starting to rain. She sighed softly and sat in the window bed. Randy played grave puncher with Howard. Rachel heard the sounds of the game coming from Randy's room and smiled gently. She watched the rain fall and she just leaned against the wall. The two kept on playing, not noticing the rain. Rachel hummed to herself. Randy kind of glanced out the window. "It's raining." he said still playing. "What's all you got? Not your greatest distraction Cunningham." Howard replied.
Rachel was now singing softly. "I wasn't trying to distract you." Randy replied. Howard gave him a quick look of slight horror. "You have changed." Howard said. Rachel watched the rain and when the lightning flashed she swore she saw Dark Rachel's blood red eyes staring at her. She gasped and fell off the window bed resulting in a loud thump echoing through the room and a bad headache.
