Chapter Seventeen: Talking to Audrey

Alex

Before class, Alex walked over to Tommy's desk. "When should I talk to her?" Alex asked him.

Tommy thought for a moment. He had decided to give it a try as well, his best best was after class, so if Alex could talk to her before class, that would be the best. It all depeneded on when Audrey came into the room. He was broken from his thoughts by the familiar blonde in pink walking into the room. "Now." He mouthed to Alex.

Alex nodded and walked over to Audrey. "Hey can we talk?" He asked.

Audrey rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"

Alex looked back at Tommy, who shooed them out the door. He felt the emptying hallway would still be safe enough. Alex led Audrey out to the hall. "About yesterday." He said as he closed the door behind them.

"What about it?" She asked, annoyed.

"The kiss." He said, looking her dead in the eyes.

"Yeah, you kissed me, it bought you more time, but don't think this is over." Audrey said, bitingly.

"Audrey, I felt something in that kiss." Alex explained. "It was more than one sided attraction."

Audrey raised her eyebrows. "Are you suggesting I might like you?" She asked, disbelieving he would even think such a thing.

Alex sighed. Well, not in so many words, anyway. "Okay this is far from the point I was trying to get to, so let me try again."

Audrey stood there and rolled her eyes again. This was going nowhere fast. If she weren't at risk of getting found out by too many people, she would just fight him right here and now. "Look, I have class, as I'm sure you do too." Audrey said bitingly.

"I have permission to talk to you." Alex said. "We're both excused for the time being." He gave her a concerned look. "Audrey, I really want to help you. Please listen to me. This..." He pointed to her. She was standing with her arms crossed, tapping her foot impatiently with a very annoyed look on her face. "This isn't you." He said sadly. "You don't attack the rangers, you are a ranger."

"I attack who Lord Zedd tells me to attack." Audrey said, annoyed once more. "And that's you." With that, she opened the door and walked into class.

Alex sighed and followed her into class. That went well...

Tommy

After class, Tommy asked to see Audrey. What does he want? Audrey thought to herself. As if she wanted to talk to Dr. 'I want to help you' Oliver.

"Yes?" She asked, her attitude still showing through.

Tommy walked over to his door and closed it. They were the only two in the room and this needed to be kept silent. "I know you're evil." Tommy said after a while.

"What? Do you want a cookie?" Audrey asked, not caring to find out where this was going.

Tommy shook his head. He had known it would be hard to reach out to her. "I want to help you."

Audrey rolled her eyes. "Has it ever occured to any of you that I don't want help? First Alex, now you. Who's next? Kim or Jason?"

Tommy shrugged. "I don't know who else is planning to talk to you." He lied. "But I want to help you." He repeated. "Please let me help you." He pleaded.

"I. Don't. Want. Help." Audrey said, punctuating every word. For a doctor he's not very smart. He must have forgotten everything once his thesis was submitted.

"I know, Audrey." Tommy sat on the edge of his desk. "I know better than you think I do."

"Oh really now?" Audrey asked, she began tapping her foot impatiently, like she did when talking to Alex.

"Yes, really." Tommy answered. "So will you let me help you?"

"No."

"Audrey, come on. This isn't like you."

"Really? How do you know me? Last I checked, I was the new girl here. No one knows me."

"Kimberly does."

"Kimberly knew me. I've changed and I like it."

Tommy sighed. "I was the new guy here once." Tommy explained. "A couple of days later, I was turned evil. I know what it's like to be evil. You may think you like it, but it's not you."

"You and I are two different people, Tommy. Just because you turned back, it doesn't mean I will."

Tommy nodded. "Yes, we are two different people, but I have seen your heart and your heart is not one of evil. You're a very kind and caring person."

"Look where that got me." Audrey said sarcastically. "No the Audrey people can walk all over is gone. The new Audrey is here to stay."

Tommy sighed. He hoped she was wrong. He hoped the nice Audrey would come back, but he wasn't sure how the spell was going to be broken. After talking to Alex and now through this conversation with him, it didn't seem she was breaking any.

"Are you done with me yet?" Audrey asked. "You do know I have a gymnastics class to get to."

Tommy nodded. "I guess so, enjoy your class."

"Sure thing." Audrey said, rolling her eyes once more as she walked out of the room.

Kimberly

After class, Kimberly waited outside the locker rooms to catch Audrey before she bolted. She really hoped Audrey would listen to her, she was, afterall, the one who kenw her the best. When Audrey came out, Kimberly put a hand on her shoulder. "Audrey? Can I speak with you in my office please?"

Audrey rolled her eyes, how did she know this was coming. "I guess. It's not like I have a choice or anything."

Kimberly led Audrey to her office and let her in. She walked around and sat behind her desk. "I've known several evil rangers, Audrey." Kimberly began. "I know you think evil is the way to go right now, but just like all of the evil rangers before you, once the spell is broken you won't feel that way."

"Will people just leave me alone?" Audrey asked. "I'm sick of everyone wanting to help me, people telling me they how I feel. None of you know."

Kimberly opened her mouth to speak, but was cut off by Audrey.

"No. Not even you." Audrey told her. "You think I'm some sweet little princess. I'm sick of being walked all over. I'm sick of being protected. I like life like this. I'm no longer protected and if you, Tommy or Alex really think I am going to let you take that away from me, you have another thing coming."

Kimberly shook her head. "I've been evil. I tried to kill all of the rangers at that time, including my ex-boyfriend and my best friend. Once the spell was broken, I did what was right. You can do what's right, if you just let us help you."

"I'm sick of that too, I don't care who has been evil and who hasn't. You are not me. You don't know that I will ever regret any of this. I won't. I will stay this way and there's nothing you can do." Audrey turned and walked out the door, leaving Kimberly staring after her.

Audrey

"I seriously can't believe them." Audrey said to her empty bedroom. "I will be who I want to be, why can't they understand that?" Each persons words plagued her mind. They all seemed to think they knew her, but at the same time, they didn't really know her, did they? They thought she was unhappy like this. They wanted to help her and assumed she wanted the help. She rolled her eyes. "As if I need them." She said, laying back on her bed.

Alex

Alex walked through the park once more. He walked over to the lake and sat down. He really wanted Audrey to listen to them, he really hoped it would have worked. He really didn't know what else to do. His kiss made her run away, his talking to her did no good. What good was being a ranger if he couldn't help people. He thew a rock into the water and watched it make ripples. He turned away and he saw Audrey walking through the park. He wasn't ready for another attack, not now.

"Why hello, Alex." Audrey said when she noticed him. "Ready for that fight?"

"No, Audrey, I don't want to fight you."

Audrey smiled. "Good. This will be easy then." She got ready to attack as Alex called on his power staff.

"Golden Power of Triforia use your golden light to clear her mind of darkness." He said, before placing the tip of the staff on her head. Audrey fell to the ground, immediately unconscious.
