Chapter 9
Cai's ears perked up. He looked behind him and he ducked, just missing getting hit in the head by the dinosaur's foot. He came back up and saw Katelin running after the dinosaur, looking a bit shaken; with William flying behind her. Katelin stopped for a moment and picked up Cai.
"Katelin," Cai told her hurriedly "there's something you need to know! Chase Young, one of his tigers has been watching you. I-"
"Yeah I know." Katelin said, running "Wait! One of his tigers has been stalking me!"
"Yes, I believe it's a white tiger." William told her.
"You know it's a white tiger!"
"I know."
Katelin sighed. She had seen the tiger during her first showdown. Katelin shook her head. She had to focus on getting the dinosaur. She rushed past Kimiko, Omi, and Clay.
Raimundo P.O.V
'Yes! I've got this showdown won!' Rai thought to himself happily.
A moment before he touched the egg shaped shen gong wu, he noticed the dinosaur that Katelin had brought to the present. In between him and the dinosaur was the shen gong wu. The dinosaur stared at him for a minute, picked up the shen gong wu, and ran off.
Rai stood there frozen with anger and surprise as the everything went back to normal.
Normal P.O.V
The four original monks stared angrily at Katelin, who was between Raimundo and the other three. She laughed nervously.
Later that day
"Hey, I said that I was sorry didn't I?" Katelin asked.
During the last few hours, the five had had to chase the dinosaur around the country side. The dinosaur, had stolen many eggs in the process and had caused something that the villagers were calling 'the great egg famine.' Finally, they had gotten it to stay still for more than a few seconds, giving Omi the chance to freeze it using the Orb of Tornami. Then they had managed to get the shen gong wu, and lastly Katelin sent it back to the past. And now her fellow monks were still very angry, especially Rai.
"But we could have lost the shen gong wu!" Rai yelled.
"But we didn't!"
"But we could have because of your stupid dinosaur idea!"
"Ok! It wasn't a good idea, but I know this now!"
"And what if we didn't catch the dinosaur?"
"I'm sorry! I didn't know it would turn out this way!" Katelin shouted, half angry half sad.
She stomped her foot on the ground in frustration. As she and Rai kept on arguing, Omi, Clay, and Kimiko noticed something. The room seemed to be getting older. Dust was settling more quickly on the floor, the wood furniture started to fade in color and cracks started growing, and the rug started to fade and the material became thinner. After a few minutes Rai and Katelin noticed what was happening as the room stopped aging.
Dojo came in looking around "What happened here?" his eyes fell on Katelin "What's today's date?" He asked them.
"June 19th." Kimiko replied "Why?"
"The Solstice." Dojo said thoughtfully "Katelin did this…"
Katelin's eyes widened "I-I didn't do it on purpose!"
Raimundo continued glaring at her while the other four stayed silent.
Katelin backed up a little bit and broke out in a run outside. She stopped at the foot of the tree, near where she and Cai had first met William. She sat, leaning against the tree.
'What's going on?' she thought to herself 'Chase was right, things are already starting to happen. This can't get much worse. My friends are mad at me, weird things are happening… guess I'm just having a really bad day.' she sighed.
A tear trickled down her cheek, as Cai walked over to her. He put his nose on her hand "Don't worry," he told her "it's only until the Solstice."
Katelin nodded still crying a little bit.

Chase watched Katelin through the big eye thing in the center of a room. Kira jumped onto his shoulder to get a closer look.
"You should have told her…" she murmured.
"Are you still watching that girl?" Wuya asked, before Chase got the chance to answer Kira.
Kira turned to face Wuya, "Not everything revolves around you, you know." she said coolly.
"What I mean," Wuya snapped at Kira "is that she's a waste of time!"
"What's a waste of time is talking to you!" Kira hissed, arching her back.
As Wuya and Kira continued to argue, Chase continued to watch Katelin crying. For a small moment he felt an unknown emotion. He closed his eyes angrily and put his hand over the eye angrily.
"Both of you," He said calmly but angrily "stop arguing."
Kira glanced at his face for a moment and nodded, jumping off his shoulder. She walked towards the door, flicking her tail up as she passed Wuya. Wuya glared after her.
Kira walked outside the cave, looking out into the forest below. She heard a wolf howl. She shuddered.
"Is it right…?" she asked herself "Maybe I should…" she started walking quickly towards the path down to the forest but stopped in her tracks as another wolf howled. She gulped, "Maybe tomorrow…"
A/N: Bonjour! Here's a new chappie to make up for all that time, and I forgot to mention... the name of the egg, 'voler' means to fly, or to steal in French if you thought it was completely random. I'm personally not that crazy about this chappie. Oh well r&r
