Here's the next chapter and sorry for the wait in an update, the first week back to school is always busy and I didn't get much time to write this chapter up, so that explains why all of my stories have been updated at the same time and that pattern will probably continue now that I'm back at school.

"I see." Audrey said to the person on the telephone in the hall while Walter sat on the sofa just listening to the conversation as best as he could while he read the newspaper that had some article about Bruce Winchell's hair in it.

"Yes, well yes I understand. Thanks for the call," Audrey said as she placed the phone down and walked over to sit next to Walter on the sofa, "That was the principal, Drake walked off a class trip after all the parenting you've done he's still so troubled. Why do you think that is Walter?" She asked him.

"I have no idea Audrey, I've tried to teach him every thing that I can about being a man."

"And a good man you are," Audrey said before thinking back to what she and Walter used to do on their nights out when she left Drake to look after Megan, "Now it's my turn to kiss you." She said before she leaned in to kiss Walter who quickly caught on to what Audrey was doing.

"So now it's my turn to kiss you." Walter said before kissing Audrey. Megan walked past after coming in from the garage and placed her hand across her eyes to shield them from a sight that she still wasn't used to. As she was walking down the hall to her room up stairs for ran in to Josh who seemed to have lost some thing.

"What have you lost this time boob?" She asked placing a hand on her hip.

"Have you seen Drake?" Josh asked back.

Megan gave him a slightly confused look before she answered, "How can you lose Drake?"

"I don't know," Josh replied, but have you seen him?" Josh pushed his sister for an answer.

"No, but he's probably just in his room playing his guitar." She replied.

"Good thinking, thanks Megan." Josh said as he ran off to his shared bed room. When he was out of side Megan took her hand off of her hip and shook her head.

"Boob." She mumbled before continuing to head to her room.

Audrey and Walter were still sat on the couch kissing when Drake opened the front door, both of them heard him come in and stopped kissing each other to speak to him.

"Oh Drake we were wondering where you were you're so late." Audrey said as she saw Drake walk in to the house not noticing him groaning or how he placed his hand over his neck for a moment. He was stumbling around and this time he was defiantly not putting it down to his resent clumsiness. He walked right in to the table knocking every thing off of it, but mum and Walter didn't seem to notice it.

"About time you got home we were all getting worried. Your mum says that you can sleep in late in the morning, but don't forget that it's your turn to feed the fish." Walter said as Drake stumbled around the room trying to get enough balance to walk up the stairs, "Ata boy." Walter said as Drake tripped over the stairs and he was only on the first one.

"I don't know some thing just doesn't seem right about him." Audrey said as she started to knit a sweater for Megan.

"Teenagers," Walter said before thinking things through and seeing Audrey's worried face he added more to his sentence, "I'll go talk to him." He could see a smile appear on Audrey's face as he headed up the stairs.

Drake was sat on his bed, having no clue how he had managed to get up the ladder to sit on it, however he was just glad that he had managed it. He had lied to Josh that he had been at band practise that had overrun. He was surprised that Josh hadn't asked why he had been at band practise with out his guitar, but he had a reason ready for that question any way.

There was a knock at the open door which was Walter. Josh just smiled at his dad before going back to talking to Craig and Eric on the phone.

"Rough day huh," Walter said to Drake as he walked over to Drake's bed who just felt plain sick, "Here have a drink." Walter said passing Drake a water bottle before going on about some thing which even made Josh look at him. Walter was going on about some time when he was beat up at school as a kid, but Drake didn't hear all of it as he dropped the water bottle as his body fell back against the bed, Drake's consisness fading completely.

When Walter and Josh looked at him though they failed to notice the huge red bump on the right side of his neck. It also seemed appropriate that the weather out side was thunder and lightning. The weather was the same over at the amalgamated building where a huge meeting was taking place in Mr Lander's office.

"I'm losing patience Doctor Strong." A man said as he and Doctor Strong walked across the room. It was a sort of half lab, half normal room sort of place.

"Please sir if you could just wait a few minutes."

"I've waited long enough for this eco manic we're the board of directors are time is valuable." The man replied as he pointed to a picture of Mr Landers.

"Not as valuable as mine Mr Dolson," Mr Landers said as he walked out from the picture startling said man who had been looking at the picture, "You see I have a terminal illness I have been fighting it for years, but the disease has ravished my organs as of this moment I have one hour left to live." Mr Landers finished as he turned over the hour glass. As he turned it over the sand instantly ran through it. He turned to Doctor Strong who shrugged his shoulders.

"It was on sale." He replied simply before Mr Landers sighed as the board of directors just gave him questioning looks.

"Gentlemen if your ready allow me show you the future," Mr Landers said as he and Doctor Strong pulled the white cover off of the main object in the room, however the sheet didn't come straight off like planned getting caught on one end of the machine, "From the, from the, lift it over."

"What the hell is that?" Mr Dolson asked while he and the other directors just looked at the chair like thing in question.

"An innovation not only saving my life, but the life off this company. For too long we've scraped up profits on pills and injections the real prize is the total cure. A device that can alter DNA, restore the body to perfect health." Mr Landers replied as he sat in the chair and Doctor Strong clipped together the metal cuffs over Mr Landers feet and wrists.

"You're crazy." Was Mr Dolson's only reply to Mr Lander's explanation.

"Crazy is hearing voices, talking to cats, dating Polar Abdul. I'm not crazy I'm a visionary."

"Sir the machine's never been fully tested if some thing was to go wrong-" Doctor Strong didn't get any chance to finish his sentence.

"Start the machine!" Mr Landers said before Doctor Strong went over to his computer and started typing things and codes in before the machine started a golden coloured light emitting from the machine.

Doctor Strong continued to type, "Genetic modifications at optimum levels," More typing, "Sir the core is over heating we have to abort." He shouted out, however Mr Landers gave him no signal or notice to do so. Some thing did go wrong the gold light filling the room before there was an explosion. A few pieces of metal and other items scattered around the room.

"Did it work?" Mr Landers asked curiously.

"I'm so sorry." Doctor Strong replied solemnly.

"Well, well, well I want you to know what a joy it will be running this company with out you in the way," Mr Dolson told Mr Landers leaning over him. Mr Landers grabbed Mr Dolson's wrist, holding it tightly, "Let go. Let me go." He said desperately as a red light travelled down their hands before he fell to the ground, old and dead.

Doctor Strong just starred open mouthed at the events that had just happened as Mr Landers stood from the chair breaking the metal bands that had been strapped over his wrists and feet. He pulled off his glasses looking at the board of directors who all looked very scared now that they had no idea what was going on.

"Gentlemen I think it's time we made some personal changes." Mr Landers said with a smile as he advanced on them. Doctor Strong just watched a mixture of shock and panic running through his veins as numerous screams were heard and it was soon Doctor Strong's turn (to scream like a girl,) as Mr Landers killed each member from the board of directors, one by one.

The sun shown through the windows of the room that Drake and Josh shared as Drake gave another small groan and began allowing his eyes to twitch slightly. His head was laid on the pillow of his bed, so that the side of his neck that had been bitten was not visible. It also meant that he was facing the door of the room.

"Ahh, how long was I asleep?" Drake asked aloud to no one in particular as he managed to bring his body back to life placing a hand carefully to his aching head as he tried to remember what happened and how long he had actually been asleep.

"Five days." A voice from beside him answered. It turned out to be Walter who was stood on the ladder of Drake's bed looking reasonably tired as if he had been awake for the whole night. He left the room after giving Drake an answer and Drake wondered hoe he could have been asleep for five days from a single dragon-

The dragonfly.

Drake stood from his bed finding that he was still in the clothes that he wore five days ago on that school trip. He climbed down the ladder and walked over to the desk where the computer was, picking up a mirror from the side of the computer. He looked at the right side of his neck and felt around for any sign of the bump that he was sure had been there before he fell asleep, however it was now completely gone that it made him wonder if he'd imagined it being there in the first place.

The computer was already on, so he just opened the internet and began typing his question in to Google. He typed in two words, Dragonfly bite, and pressed enter. He opened a website called MDnet which came up with a box titled symptom checker and a question. How can MDnet help you today? Drake just gave it a slightly confused look as he waited for any thing else to appear on the screen.

Three answers with little boxes besides them came up. I have a headache, I have a cold, I want to figure out what's wrong with Brittany (Which Drake thought was a very weird question to have on some kind of symptom checker program) and lastly I was bitten by a bug, which Drake clicked almost as soon as it appeared in front of his eye sight.

Are you in pain? The next question asked with two answers, yes or no. Drake thought for a second before clicking no. The next question came up and this one actually shocked Drake more than the answer to one of the previous questions had.

Have you ever had sexual intercourse? The next question asked. Drake looked of his shoulder at the door to see if any one was coming, when he saw that no one was he shrugged and clicked yes. Don't lie to me. The computer replied. Drake looked at the screen reading the answers that he had a choice of and slowly clicked I'm not.

It's okay, you can tell me the truth. I'm a doctor. The computer said. Drake sighed clicking the one answer that it gave him the choice of, Okay I'm a virgin.

When the computer put up it's next reply Drake just looked at the screen curiously before a chat box opened causing Drake to, out of curiosity moved the chair closer to the computer and read the words off of the screen, wondering what it really meant.

PROFX5016: Drake… I have answers.

PROFX5016: Do not seek me out.

PROFX5016: I will come to you.

Then the box closed and Drake just became even more confused, "Wait." Drake mumbled to no one in particular. A noticed then appeared on the screen. PROFX5016 has added you as a friend on face book. Read the notice before it too disappeared. Drake looked over at his bed and opened the trunk at the bottom of it and pulled out a picture of him and his granddad he also picked up the ring that his granddad had given him on that day.

"Oh granddad," Drake said to him self as he flicked through a book of pictures, "I thought you'd live forever." As he looked up his eyes caught the window. He walked over to it and looked out seeing that Mindy was next door in the bedroom of their next door neighbours daughter. Drake just watched the two of them for a few minutes forgetting every thing else for a moment and the fact that he had slept for five days as he just watched her.

"Breakfast Drake!" His mother shouted from down stairs, Walter had obviously told her that he was awake.

Drake ran over to the bedroom door, "I be down in a minute." He shouted down before running back towards the window, however Mindy was gone and Drake let out a sigh as he walked down stairs and headed in to the kitchen.

"Morning Honey, how are you feeling?" Audrey asked him Drake just shrugged in reply before looking around and seeing that it was him and his mum.

"Where's Josh?" He asked.

"Oh Drake I nearly forgot to tell you," Audrey started making Drake wonder what it was that she could have nearly forgotten to tell him, "Josh had to leave to get to the science fair and we weren't sure if your would wake up this morning," If Drake was honest he wasn't sure if he would wake up this morning, "But Josh asked me to ask you to meet him there if you woke up to help him. He really wants to beat Mindy this year."

"Yeah see you later mum." Drake said as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Honey where are you going?" His mum asked him.

"To meet Josh." He replied holding the front door open.

"But dear are you sure that your up to it, after all you just slept for five days are you sure that you don't want a doctor or some thing?" She asked and although that Drake had considered that option if he continued normally then he may be able to believe that he was simply bitten by a dragonfly that made him ill and hope that was simply it.

"I'm fine mum," He told her, however she didn't look convinced, so he added more, "Really mum. I have to help Josh beat the Creature." He said before leaving the house knowing that he had convinced his mum enough.

Please review and thanks for reading.
