Chapter 4: I'm so sorry!

Tessa laid in her bed holding her side. She hadn't been right since last week, something felt wrong. It was like her body was trying to reject every moral fiber in her being. She had to stop this pain but how.

"God…", she cried and whispered.

"Tessa are you awake?", her mother yelled from downstairs.

Tessa slowly got up and managed her way to the door. She slowly opened it leaning against the door frame.

"Yeah mom I'm up.", she yelled back.

"Okay adam is here…I'm sending him up.", she yelled once more.

Tessa quickly turned on the lights and sat on the bed. Adam knocked twice before opening it. Tessa sat on her bed smiling.

"Hey how are you feeling?", he said walking in and sitting down next to her.

"I'm fine…", she said in a heavy sigh.

"You haven't been to school in a week…everyone thinks you got suspended for skipping…", he said.

"I just have a cold." she sighed.

"Oh…well…that's good.", he said looking around her room.

He noticed it was the exact opposite of her. Tessa was a tomboy but her room was the pink princess type room. Even her bed was decorated with ruffles.

"Let me guess you didn't pick this stuff out…", he joked.

"Uh nope my mom still thinks I'm a princess.", she joked.

He looked over and saw a picture of her and her brother on the beach. She looked happy, there was a innocence in her eyes. Something she really didn't have now.

"Can I as you something?", he asked.

"Go ahead.", she said with her arm over her eyes.

"You threatened a girl because she told you to break up with me right?", he asked.

"I did it because girls like that get on my nerves.", she mumbled.

"I don't like that…", he said.

"You don't really like me anyway.", she allowed herself to say.

"What are you talking about?", he asked.

Tessa got up and walked over to her dresser and pulled out a small orb. She tossed it to him and he looked at it.

"I used that to make you like me.", she said.

"That's impossible.", he said

"It is possible…", she mumbled.

"Even if it was possible why would you feel that you have to puts some love potion on me?", he laughed.

"It was my mission.", she said looking down.

"Mission?", he asked.

"I had to I didn't want to you have to understand!", she said almost crying.

"Your…kidding right?", he said standing up.

"No I can't lie to you anymore…", she cried.

"Tell me the whole story.", he sighed.

Tessa sighed and explained the way she had come in possession of her morphed. Then she explained her boss and their plot to destroy the power rangers. Her part in the conspiracy and the reaction that her body seemed to be having. Adam sat there in disbelief.

"I'm sorry.", she said looking down at her hands.

"When?", he asked.

"Um…in two weeks.", she said.

"I have to go.", he said rushing out.

Tessa sat on her bed wonder if she did the right thing.

'Well your little boyfriend feels betrayed…guess that's it…', the voice in her head laughed.

"Oh my god shut up.", Tessa said putting her pillow over head.

She still wasn't going back to school, she might as well move with her aunt and transfer back to her old school. She laid there toying with her morphed, then it hit her.

"Dammit!", she said getting out of bed and going to her closet.

She dug her clothes until she found her small safe. She put in the combination and opened it. She pulled out a stack of papers and began to read through them.

Adam stormed into base.

"Adam what's wrong?", aisha asked.

"Tessa was working for zedd.", he said.

"Are you serious?", tommy asked.

"Yeah…she said she couldn't lie to me anymore she told me some of the plan.", he sighed.

"Will she tell us anymore?", billy asked.

Adam shrugged his shoulders. He couldn't bring himself to talk to her right now. So tommy and billy decided to go see her. They raced over to the two story home that belonged to the león family. Her mother showed them to tessa's room. Tessa sat at her desk writing. She looked over the plans to find a flaw. Suddenly there was a knock at her door. She slowly turned around and saw tommy and billy.

"I told adam everything I know!", she said.

"There has to be more…",tommy sighed.

"I don't know what else to tell you…", she said looking down.

"Maybe we should bring her to zordon…", billy thought out loud.

Tessa looked up and shook her head no. Tessa couldn't go with them. She was already trying to expel the evil within her. She mentally couldn't handle anymore.

"Please tess.", they both asked.

She looked down at her hands and sighed. After talking for a bit the convinced her to at least try. They took her to the power center. She looked around as she walked to what seemed like a giant tube.

She stood there and turned to look back at the rangers. She had never been more confused.

"Is this a joke?", she asked.

"The exact opposite silver ranger…", a deep voice said from behind her.

She slowly turned around and saw him staring down at her. Tessa hadn't been this scared since the first time she met rita.

"Please tell me everything you know about zedd's plot…", he said.

"I told adam everything I remember…", she said looking down.

It seemed that even if she was told, it had been buried deep into her subconscious. Tessa insisted on going home after awhile. Zordon agreed, and billy escorted her back to her home. She stopped and looked at adam.

"I'm sorry…", she whispered.

He looked up and then looked down at his feet. She walked on looking ahead. Billy couldn't understand why she would choose to join rita. What was her reasoning. As he walked her home he noticed a weird tattoo on the back of her neck.

"Where did you get the tattoo?", he asked.

"It's a sign of obedience…they burn it into your skin.", she said looking forward.

"Please help us anyway you can…", he said.

"I'm helping because of adam, not because I regret what I've done.", she said looking forward.

"But you must feel bad because you told him!", billy said.

Tessa stopped and turned around and her expression was not cold but sad.

"I told him because I like him, and couldn't handle lying to him anymore…the rest of you rangers are nothing to me.", she said walking off.

Billy stood there as she ran to her home and walked in.

He couldn't understand it was like he had just talked to two different people. The tessa he talked to all the time and an aggressive version. There was more to the tattoo on her neck. He knew that it was more then just a mark of loyalty.

Tess walked in her room and slammed the door.

'Well aren't we fussy…', a voice echoed in her head.

"Shut up!", tessa yelled.

'That's right yell at the voice in your head…', it laughed.

"Oh my god shut the hell up!", tessa screamed into a pillow.

The more she screamed the more the voice laughed. Tessa got up and turned on her stereo to drown out her insanity. She just put her headphones on and drifted to sleep.
