I've been so excited for this part!

DISCLAIMER- Whoops, I forgot to put this for a couple of chapters! Anyway, I'm Ridley Pearson (duh), and I own KK. Scratch that, I'm Walt Disney. Isn't it obvious? *cough*NOT*cough*

Chapter 17: We Need to End This

"Charlie!" Willa shrieked as she ran into her arms by the Remy Restaurant.

"Wills!"

The boys exchanged high fives and smiles. Jess made sure to give and nice hello to Finn and Philby, who had helped her so much for the past few hours.

The Keepers stood a few steps away from the Remy Restaurant.

"Okay. What's the game plan, QB?"

"Just run straight for the goal. A Conversion would help. Then, throw the ball. Hopefully it'll hit Mali in the head," Jess said with a blank face.

"Whoa…you watch football?" Maybeck was impressed.

"Sometimes. It's on while I'm waiting to watch Celebrity Apprentice."

"Cool."

"Okay, we all love football. We are we going?" Charlene asked.

"We ran into Judge Judy on our search for Manda. Before he flew away on his magic carpet, he mentioned the cleaning supplies room." Philby explained.

"No way!" Maybeck exclaimed.

"What?"

"I didn't know you could be funny!"

"Ha-ha.""And we have that part figured out. She's not there. She escaped," Willa said.

"Near us," Charlene added.

"By near, we mean in proximity of feet." Philby said. "Close. Super close. Wanna get started on our way?"

"I'm ready." Maybeck said. Everyone but Jess voiced their agreement. The Keepers turned to her.

"…I'm more than ready."

"It's settled. Now, you guys understand that we could be walking into a big thing, right?"

"By big thing, you mean battle," Willa said.

"Yes."

"For goodness's sake, let's go! I'm tired of waiting. To be honest, the longer we wait, the higher the risk! Let's suck it up and go!" Jess said with a red face. She added after a while, "If you guys are ready…"

"Okay. C'mon," Finn waved them along."

"'Kay. I just think that we sho-"

Jess stopped walking.

She put her hands up to her ears and closed her eyes.

Shewhispered. "Not again…"

For a while, you have been seeing me. I apologize if I have been leading you to the wrong place. Or frightening you. I must say that you are a clever girl. The first seeing you had here was partially correct. You interpreted it the right way. However, that girl in pajamas wasn't who you think she was.

Hello, Jessica. I'm here to help. My name is

Jess opened her eyes. Finn saw her confusion.

"Jess, what's wrong?"

"I…I…I…can't believe it…"

Jess collapsed onto the floor.

Charlene rushed to her.

"Jess, what's wrong?"

"That wasn't her. That wasn't her."

"What do you mean, that wasn't her?"

"She's not there. That was not her behind the couch," Jess said that last sentence word by word. She was starting to get frustrated. Why won't they just get it?

She continued. "That wasn't her in those darn visions."

"Why not?"

"She told me. That girl. Right now." Jess paused. "She had a weird, mature voice. I don't know who."

"You said…weird, mature, voice? What do you mean by weird?"

"Didn't sound like mine. Or yours, Charlene. Sounded like…" Jess looked straight at Philby.

"Oh, my God."

It all makes sense. The green lights. The laughing woman. The thing I said to make them go away. The voice.

"Jess. Jess, talk to me. What. Do. You. Mean. By. Weird?" Charlene asked forcefully.

"I know…" But Jess's arm, which was in Charlene's hand, tensed up.

"But we need to leave now. Now. Now, let's go." Jess got up and walked quickly to the door to the Remy Restaurant. "Quickly!"

The other Keepers hesitated. "Jess, where are we going?"

She screamed this. "Hurry!" Jess closed her eyes and covered her ears. "They're gonna come, they're gonna come…GET INSIDE!"

The girls, Philby, and Finn obeyed. Maybeck stuttered.

"I…but, I-"

"Terrance Maybeck, come over here NOW!"

Willa thought she sounded…almost…possessed.

Maybeck lifted his hands up. "Okay, girl, I get it, I get it, I-"

BOOM!

The door behind him exploded.

That sent Maybeck bolting. He ran into the door that Jess was holding. She closed it immediately.

"Go! To the back," she pointed. She turned around again and went into the same position she was in earlier, with her ears covered and her eyes closed.

"They're real, they actually exist. It's real!" She exclaimed, turning around, her eyes bulging. "They are here!"

"What's here?" Charlene begged, backing up.

"The green lights! The ones who broke the windows! They were actually-"

BOOM!

Another explosion outside of the restaurant. The Keepers weaved through the tables and chairs of the restaurant towards the back, trying to go where Jess pointed. They all could see many bodies line up outside of the restaurant. Who they were, they couldn't tell, but they knew they very well could be Overtakers.

"Finn Whitman!" One yelled.

A
weird voice, Jess thought.

Finn wasn't worried that they called his name. He was worried about them coming in. Whoever theywere.

"We know you are around here somewhere!" Another weird voice called .

BOOM!

In the midst of all of this chaos, Willa found a closet door next to her. She spoke above the noise of the explosions.

"Guys."

No response.

"Guys."

"GUYS!"

"What?" They all exclaimed.

"Look at this!"

Jess ran over. She pulled on the doorknob. Harder. Even harder. She just couldn't.

I need to say it. It'll open.

Jess yelled at the closet door.

Of course, it opened.

Inside the closet, Jess found her sister sitting down.

"Amanda!"

"Jess!" Amanda jumped up and ran into her sister's arms. They held on tight.

"I thought I would never find you…" Jess whispered in a small voice.

"I thought you would never find me…"

"Mandy?" Finn said behind Amanda.

Amanda didn't respond. She escaped Jess's hug and ran to Finn.

"You found me…" Amanda whispered.

"Why wouldn't I? Then, I would be a terrible boyfriend."

Amanda laughed. "I wish I could have an emotional moment with all of you, but we gotta get going."

BOOM!

"Now."

"Let's go!"

Jess pointed to the front of the restaurant. "Look! The Snatchers are gone!"

Amanda turned to her sister. "Did you just say…Snatchers?"

Jess nodded her head.

Amanda whispered this to her feet. "That means…I was right…they really do exist."

Jess took her sister's hand and squeezed it. She nodded.

"Let's move," Maybeck said. He walked to the door. "C'mon."

He clearly didn't understand what the sister meant by snatchers.

I really didn't expect it to be this long. I was going to break it a couple of times but I didn't wanna ruin the climax and action. I was gonna continue, but I really want the next part to be its own.

I'm maybe rethinking putting this in another section. I still am going to write the same ending, but the section I'm putting it in only applies to about 2 chapters. PM (not in a review) me if you know what I'm, talking about, and tell me what you think I should do.

Thanks for reading, see ya soon!
