Chapter 15: Stalker Revealed
Saturday, August 17 at 9:28 PM
"Why?" Kendra asked as she looked in the direction of the stalker's face, but kept the gun in her range of vision.
"He is mine!" The stalker hissed.
"All right. All right." Kendra said calmly as she raised her hands in the air. "Trent knows that you two belong together and in no way has he strayed away from you. You do know that, don't you?"
"You tramps have tried to break through our eternal love but you have failed! We are destined to be together, here on earth and in heaven." The stalker walked continuously closer to Kendra until she was close enough for Kendra to reach out a touch her.
Kendra decided that the time was now and kicked the gun out of the stalker's hands but not before a shot was fired. The light bulb shattered as the bullet hit it.
Kendra dived to the right and headed toward where she had last seen the stalker. Kendra felt strong hands encircle around her throat and begin to squeeze. Kendra used all of her strength to hit the stalker's arms and it worked, for the hands released Kendra's throat.
Kendra proceeded to kick the stalker off of her and then scurried away. Kendra held her breath listening for any movement. She heard a moan that she knew was not the stalker. Kendra soundlessly headed toward the origin of the moan when she ran into the stalker who was headed in the same direction. Kendra took the opportunity to throw a punch that sent the stalker flying backwards and crashing through a scene that the high school had set up.
9:32 PM
They heard a gunshot and began to run toward the origin of the sound. A few minutes later, they heard a loud crash and realized that it had come from the auditorium. They opened the door with caution and stared into the darkness.
"Hey, we need some help in here!" A voice yelled out from across the room that they all recognized to be Kendra.
Hunter stepped in a turned on the lights. The lights revealed Kendra on her knees, with her back to them, next to an unconscious woman whose blonde hair could be seen.
They ran down the aisle and onto the stage. They all looked at the unconscious woman with shock. Hunter walked up to Kendra and took her into his arms. "I'm okay." Kendra whispered in his ear but he didn't let her go.
"Is she going to be all right?" Cassie asked.
"Yes." Kendra replied and then she looked over to where the stalker had landed. "Your stalker, Trent, is over there." Kendra said as she pointed to a woman who had just sat up clutching her head.
Trent stared in disbelief at his stalker. It was Natalie.
Natalie stood up and walked toward them. Kendra stood up creating a shield between herself and Jessica.
"Trent, I'm…sorry, so sorry." She cried out as she fell to hear knees holding her face in her hands.
"Natalie?" Trent said in disbelief. It couldn't have been Natalie who had tormented him and his friends. She was his first love. She would never do anything to harm him in anyway. It just wasn't possible to Trent that this caring and loving woman could have done such horrible things.
Jessica slowly opened her eyes and looked around at the people on the stage. She saw Trent staring at Natalie with a mixture of shock and disgust.
Jessica stood up ignoring Kendra's arm to assist her up off of the floor. "Trent." Jessica said as she grabbed his arm. "It isn't her who has been doing this. It is her but it isn't."
"First, she's going to be placed in custody, and then you can explain what you're talking about." Carlos said as he went over to Natalie and grabbed her by the arm. She got onto her feet without needing Carlos' assistance.
10:30 PM
The police had been called and explanations were quickly given. A medic had checked out Kendra and Jessica saying that they would be fine. The news had spread throughout the reunion and Stephanie had quickly brought the entire class under control.
Once Natalie and Devon had been taken into police custody, Jessica told them everything.
Jessica explained that Natalie had been in a car accident about a year and a half ago. She had miraculously survived but had received a traumatic brain injury that had affected her personality. She had been going to a therapist for a little over a year and had begun becoming herself again. She would stay in Dallas with her parents for a week at a time for the past couple of months.
Jessica had discovered that a room that had previously been sealed off in the basement, for some unknown reason before the family had ever moved in, had been unsealed. Once she had entered the room and found a light, she had discovered Natalie was Trent's stalker. She had rushed to the reunion to warn Trent when she saw her sister leaving and Kendra had grabbed her arm.
"That's all." Jessica finished as unshed tears lingered in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Jessica." Trent said as he hugged her.
"I'm sorry, too, Trent. I'm just glad that she hadn't killed anyone." Jessica replied as the tears began to flow.
Everyone said some comforting words and they decided to leave the reunion even though Stephanie protested that they should stay. They said good night and headed to their homes.
Saturday, August 24 9:00 AM
Instead of having breakfast at Uppercuts, they had it over at Trent's new house because they were going to help him move in that day. Instead of cooking breakfast, since there weren't any utensils, dishes, or anything else, Trent just bought everyone doughnuts and bagels, with either single serve juice, milk or coffee.
Once they had eaten, laughed and joked about various things, they began to move things into the house.
Boxes were being placed in various rooms of the house that Trent had purchased and his friends were helping him move in.
"By the way, where did you go after you and Kim had that argument?" Kendra asked as she and Trent headed back to her car.
"I went to go to talk with someone." Trent replied as they walked down the steps and onto the stone path.
"Who?" Kendra asked her curiosity rising.
"My father." Trent replied as he grabbed a box from Carlos' Dodge Durango.
"Your father? I thought…oh." Kendra said once she had figured out what Trent was talking about.
"Did he help?" Kendra asked as she grabbed another box from her car.
"Yeah, he sent Butch to knock some sense into me." Trent said as he began to walk toward his house.
"Good point but at least he didn't literally knock some sense into you." Kendra replied with a grin as she walked up the steps and through the open front door.
"I was about to, but his head finally returned to the ring." Butch said as took the box from Kendra.
After a couple of hours of bringing in boxes and furniture, the group was in the living room about to head out to lunch when Kendra remembered something. "Oh yeah. I got you a housewarming gift." Kendra said as she dashed outside to her car. She returned with a blue gift bag.
Trent held the bag in one hand as he shifted the wrapping tissue so he could look into the bag. A smile came onto his lips as he shook his head.
Kim, Butch, Carlos and Hunter looked into the bag and laughed. Inside were the three 'Karate Kid' movies as well as 'The Next Karate Kid'.
"I don't believe you have every seen these, right?" Kendra asked with a sly grin.
"That is true." Trent replied.
"These movies are classic and I'm sure you will enjoy them." Kendra said as she headed toward the door. "Are you guys coming or not?"
"Yeah, let's go. I'm starving." Carlos said as he headed to the door.
"Interesting choice for movies." Butch commented once he had caught up to Kendra.
"Yeah. I just saw them in the store and I knew that I had to buy them for Trent. I know that it isn't a typical house warming gift, but I figured, what would a guy want with a plant?" Kendra said as she headed toward her car.
Before Kendra got in, she looked at Trent with a sly smile. "To bad that there wasn't any movies with the title 'Thunder Boy'." Everyone gave Kendra a puzzled look except Trent who just laughed as he got into Carlos' car.
guardianM3: Volume 3 is finally finished! Reviews on this chapter and this volume would be greatly appreciated and I will use the reviews to improve on the next volume. I'm not certain when the next volume will be posted but keep an eye out for it. The next volume has to do with Butch's past and it may or may not have some angst. Thanks to all of the reviewers and those who continue to read this series. I am always trying to improve my writing and reviews are helpful and welcome.
