SPH: Happy Halloween everyone! And welcome to spooky chapter thirteen! Okay, not really spooky, at least now on the level I want, but hey, I have to balance making a Halloween chapter with school work so I gave it my best! So, I do not own Treasure Planet or any of its content, I only own Kate, all other OC's, the story, and the plot. On with the story!

Chapter 13: Kate's Death?

"KATE!" Jim yelled as Kate lowered the sail of her solar surfer and headed for another rockslide, "KATE! You promised!"

Kate only laughed and sped up.

"KATE!" Jim yelled going after her.

"Oh relax!" Kate called, "I know what I'm doing!"

"Kate! Look out!" Jim yelled.

Kate looked and saw a rock coming straight for her. She tried to dodge it but moved too late. The rock hit the engine completely destroying it.

"KATE!" Jim yelled.

Kate let out a blood curtailing scream as she fell. Rocks repeatedly hit her causing her to wail louder with each hit.

"KATE! Kate hang on!" Jim yelled as he flew into the rockslide.

Jim dove down after Kate dodging rocks as he did so.

Suddenly Kate's sail went up and Jim assumed it was an attempt to slow the fall. Rocks pierced through the sail ripping it into shreds that repeatedly wrapped around Jim's arms and legs making him try to get them off. He'd just removed the final one when he saw Kate crash at the bottom, her legs and left arm bent at unnatural angles.

"Kate!" Jim yelled flying down after her. He quickly landed his surfer and ran to her side. She was covered in blood and was motionless, her groans of pain the only thing showing she was alive. "Kate!" Jim yelled again running to her side. He fell to his knees and cradled her in his arms.

"You should have saved me." Kate said, "You should have caught me. You let me fall."

"No, Kate," Jim said with tears in his eyes.

"But, I forgive you," Kate said her voice raspy. She raised her right arm and placed her hand on the side of Jim's face. "Because… I love you… Jim."

Kate's body went limp and her hand fell leaving a handprint of blood on Jim's face.

"Kate! Kate! Wake up! KATE!" Jim yelled. Tears finally escaped his eyes. "Kate please!" He felt something wet against his skin and looked down to see Kate's blood all over his shirt and pants. He looked at Kate's bloody body to see she was still bleeding despite being dead. "Please…" Jim whispered.

Suddenly something was wrapped around his neck getting tighter and tighter. He tried to find it and rip it away, but only felt open air or his skin. Soon everything started fading black and he could just barely make out Kate's body.

Then he could finally breathe again and the clarity of his vision restored.

"Wake up Jim." Kate's voice said.

Jim glanced at Kate's corpse in his arms.

"Wake up." She repeated.

Jim stared at her, had Kate just pulled an unfunny joke and pretended to die? No, her body was still limp and cold. Her eyes were lifeless and they didn't even reflect light.

Kate's corpse suddenly reached out her arms and grabbed him by the shoulder before shaking him.

"Wake! Up! Jim!" she said with each shake.

Jim was in shock and fear staring at the living corpse.

"Goddamit Jim wake up!" Kate's corpse yelled.

Jim felt ice cold water being dumped on him and bolted upright in his bed. He glanced around his room panting.

"That must have been one heck of a nightmare for you to have come close to being strangled by your blanket." Kate's voice said.

Jim turned to see Kate standing by his bed holding a bucket with Morph on her shoulder.

"Y-you don't know the half of it." Jim said sighing with relief.

It was a dream, just a dream. Kate was standing by him alive, well, and uninjured.

Jim resisted the urge to jump out of bed and hug her. He'd been so scared; he was terrified he'd lost her. He forced back tears as he looked at her; he was so relieved she was safe and not dead.

"Morph tried to get the blanket away from your neck, but couldn't so he came and got me." Kate said, "You're lucky he did or you'd be dead. You'd even broken out in a sweat."

Jim looked at Morph and smiled.

"I know you're probably not happy about me dumping another bucket of ice water on you but," Kate started.

"No, it's fine." Jim said, "I'm actually glad you woke me up."

Kate smiled, then she frowned.

"Hey, Jim?" she asked, "Remember that one awful teacher from the Academy that everyone including teachers called Ironbeard?"

"Yeah, why?" Jim asked.

"There was news on him, but, it's best you hear it from Caption Amelia, so take a shower and get changed, okay?" Kate asked.

Jim nodded.

Kate smiled and left the room closing the door behind her.

Jim gave another sigh of relief as he got out of bed. That was the worst dream he'd ever had, he could still hear the words Kate had said before she died in it echoing in his head. The dream had him so freaked out his legs nearly gave out from under him as he stood up and buckled with almost every step.

'Just a bad dream,' he thought, 'Kate's here, she's safe, she's not dead and I'll see her once I'm done changing.'

Still, he couldn't shake away the memory of the dream, nor the fact that had he not reacted when he did it could have been a reality.

SPH: Whew! Okay, this took all afternoon and evening to do, mostly because I had classes and then studied with my friend Casandra for out permit tests. Anyway, I really wanted to do a Halloween chapter since today's Halloween and I thought what better way to do one for this particular story than have Jim have a nightmare about Kate dying? I hope this chapter was spooky and scary enough for you. Question time! Why was Jim so worked up over Kate's death in his dream to the point of crying? Does he have some secret feelings? Why'd Morph get Kate specifically? And what could Kate possibly know about their old teacher that Caption Amelia's the one more suited to tell him? Well, this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now. Happy Halloween! Peace out and keep spreading the Treasure Planet love! See ya!
