Sorry guys for not updating this sooner but I had so much homework that I needed to get done. I can't wait for school to end. Anyway I just want you to know that I decided to break Selina's plan into three parts. Enjoy!
Chapter 7
Selina's Plan: Part One
The monks slowly trudged to the dining hall to eat some breakfast. Kimiko flopped into a chair and rested her tired head on the table. Omi attempted to look very hyper but failed miserably as a yawn escaped his mouth. Clay wasn't doing much better since he could hardly eat his food. Raimundo on the other hand wasn't tired at all, and was pondering about something as he ate his food. Eventually Clay looked up and saw that Raimundo was contemplating hard about something. In a sleepy voice Clay asked, "What are thinking about Raimundo?"
Raimundo looked up as he was brought back to reality at the sound of his name and said, "Huh? What was that Clay?"
Clay sighed as he shook his head and repeated, "What were you thinking about?"
"Well," Raimundo said, "It's just that I didn't hear Selina scream as much. It was almost as if she had planned out when she was going to scream."
Kimiko lifted her head up and replied very tiredly, "How can you even tell how much Selina screamed last night? You slept through the whole night."
Raimundo replied, "Yeah I did, but my subconscious can tell how many times Selina screams."
Kimiko rolled her eyes and said, "Sheesh, how many more surprises do you have up your sleeve?"
"None that I can think of at the current moment," Raimundo said.
"Good, keep it that way," Kimiko said.
"Omi looked at them all and said, "Hey guys shouldn't we go train now?" They all looked at Omi and groaned as they slowly got up. "What? What's wrong? Is it something I said?"
"No little buddy it's just that we are all tired and don't feel like training," Clay said."But what about Raimundo? It looks like he is wide awake," Omi commented.
"Well, Raimundo is a lazy person who would prefer not to train," Clay said.
"Ohhh…" Omi said. By that time everyone was already up and heading out the door to go train. Omi followed shortly behind them.
Throughout the rest of the day Selina's screaming could be heard at every hour.
After the sun went down the monks tumbled in bed and started sleeping.
In the morning Kimiko woke up feeling a little less tired. Clay wasn't as tired as he was yesterday. As for Omi, well…he was still trying to act very hyper, but wasn't doing a very good job of it. Raimundo on the other hand woke up very refreshed but very confused.
He was sitting in bed pondering why Selina had only screamed nine times during the night as opposed to about thirty or forty times a day. It just didn't add up. Yesterday Selina had screamed twelve times during the night and twelve times during the day. Did this mean that Selina was going to scream nine times during the day because she had screamed nine times during the night. Raimundo shrugged his shoulders as he got up and went to go prepare for the day.
For the rest of the day Raimundo kept his ears open for Selina's screams. When he got back to his room he contemplated everything that was going on. Nothing was adding up anymore. He just didn't understand what she was trying to accomplish. Raimundo had listened very carefully and heard Selina scream only nine times. The same number of times she had screamed during the night. It was driving Raimundo crazy. He knew he couldn't tell this to anyone because they would think that he was insane and over exaggerating. Raimundo sighed as he sat down on his bed. Perhaps he was just thinking too much. He thought that things might be clearer for him if he got some sleep.
The next day during breakfast, Kimiko saw that Raimundo seemed distracted. She couldn't possibly think why. For starters he was the one who got the best sleep out of all of them. He could sleep through Selina's screaming, which was great for him but not for everyone else. Though Kimiko had to admit that it was getting better. She had only woken up six times during the night from Selina's horrid screams.
She sighed as she ate her lunch. It was only midday and Selina had screamed a total of three times. It was starting to get annoying and she really hoped that Selina would stop soon. She sighed again as she got up and went outside to go train.
She groaned as threw herself onto her bed. Training was getting harder and harder each day. Though on the bright side Selina had only screamed three more times that day. She was really hoping that Selina would continue to decrease the amount of times that she screamed. She thought about that as she curled up to get some sleep.
Clay groaned as he woke up before the sun rose except instead of waking up naturally he was jerked out of a dream that he had been having because of Selina's screaming. He had woken up four times because of her and it was starting to get very annoying. He was getting dressed when suddenly he smelled breakfast. He hurriedly finished dressing so that he could get to the breakfast table first. When he got there he stuffed his plate with food and started to chow down on it. He was still eating when the rest of the monks decided to join him. After breakfast they went outside to go train.
All throughout the day Clay only heard Selina scream four times. The room was deathly silent as everyone ate their dinner. After dinner everyone went to bed. Clay sighed as he looked up at the ceiling in his room. He really hoped that Selina wouldn't scream a lot during the night.
Omi woke up the next day wondering why everyone was very annoyed at Selina. He had only heard her scream two times that night. It's true that she had screamed more times in the last couple of days but her screams were slowly decreasing. He decided that he should get ready for the day so that he could have breakfast early and start training sooner. He was ready for this day to begin and couldn't wait to wake the other monks up. He quickly got dressed and bounded out of his room in order to go wake everyone up. Soon he had woken everyone up and saw them coming to the breakfast table.
For the rest of the day he was his usually hyper self not paying in the least bit attention when Selina screamed. He really cared less about it. The only thing he cared about was making sure that she joined the Xiaolin side.
At dinner he didn't pay any attention to the thoughtful face that Raimundo had and even if he did he wouldn't see what was so important about Selina screaming two times that day or why her screaming was decreasing at all. He didn't give a second thought about it when he fell asleep.
Selina had a wicked smile on her face, as the first part of her plan was almost complete. She looked over at the clock on the wall. She slowly waited until the clock said one o'clock. When it did she let out a heart-wrenching scream. Then after that she shut her eyes and went to sleep.
She woke up at eight o'clock in the morning and saw the monks brining her breakfast in. She ate it in silence as always and finished it quickly. She waited as the morning past and couldn't wait for the afternoon to arrive. The clock struck twelve o' clock and some monks came in and served her lunch. Again as always she ate it in silence and she ate it quickly.
She stared up at the ceiling becoming very bored as always. She sighed as she waited for four o' clock to roll around. When it finally did she sat up in her bed and let out an ear-piercing scream. She then sat back down in her bed with a satisfied smirk on her face. Now all she had to do was wait, wait for another week until Raimundo thought it was ok to let her out.
For the next week she waited, though she bored out of her mind she knew that the wait would be worth it. Finally the monks opened the door so that Selina would be let out. She went out the door and immediately saw Raimundo. She hardened her face toward him and grudgingly followed Raimundo to her new room. When she went in she closed the door on Raimundo before first saying, "Don't worry I won't try to leave the temple." After the door the was shut a malicious smile formed on her lips and said quietly, "Step one is complete."
Hope you enjoyed that chapter. Please R&R.
