SPH: Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed my Halloween chapter! I know my friend Bri did! Also, I know I've posted a couple chapters quickly and that's because I've been working on them during breaks, lunch, dinner, and I've had a couple of afternoons with classes being canceled; however, that probably won't continue for long because the second half of the term is coming up and that means I'm gonna be crazy busy. On the bright side, after December 15 when this term ends, I won't have classes til May so all winter you'll be getting chapters like crazy! Okay, I do not own Treasure Planet or any of its content, they belong to Disney. I only own Kate, all other OC's, the story, and the plot. On with the story!
Chapter 14: News and the Storm
Jim sighed as he walked downstairs brushing his wet hair away from his face.
"Okay, what's so important Kate couldn't tell me?" he asked walking over to the others.
"I believe you remember your one teacher from your first year at the Academy…" Caption Amelia started.
"Yeah, the one everyone called Ironbeard, Kate told me this was about him." Jim said.
Caption Amelia nodded.
"Yes, and if I remember that on the last day of your first year you got into a fight with him over a written aisgnment." She continued.
"In my defense, the policy for it was if we had answers marked wrong we could correct them for a higher grade and after correcting a paper that had been a B plus it went down to a C." Jim said.
"Yes, I remember you stating he must have lacked common logic for any functioning adult because of that." Caption Amelia said, "I also remember Ms. Myers telling me she'd watched the whole thing and that he'd been making threatening gestures before he noticed her and after which he ended up in tears over the fight."
Silver held back a laugh.
"Although, I believe had you known what he would do recently you'd have just accepted the grade." Caption Amelia said.
"Really?" Jim asked, "Why?"
"As you remember during your third year he had switched to a different Academy." Caption Amelia said.
"Yeah, almost everyone was finding some way to celebrate, well, student wise." Jim said.
Sarah shot Jim a disapproving glare.
"What? Seriously if you'd met him or attended at least one of his classes you'd probably do the same." Jim said.
Caption Amelia cleared her throat.
"May I continue?" she asked.
Sarah and Jim nodded.
"As I was saying, during your third year he switched to a different Academy on a different world." Caption Amelia said, "But, just today we received very unfortunate news regarding the Academy and your former teacher, very unsettling as well."
"What?" Jim asked.
"Earlier today he had murdered one of his students in the Academy, fled to a different world and then killed himself when law officials were able to find him." Caption Amelia said.
"Wait, wait, wait." Jim said, "You're saying that four years ago I'd been in a hallway poking a would be murderer with a stick over a paper?"
"Yes, that would be correct." Caption Amelia said, "What's worse is he killed the student over the same situation."
Jim's face went white.
"I believe the only reason he hadn't done the same to you was because Ms. Myers would have been a witness to the murder." Caption Amelia said.
Jim looked at Kate.
"And you couldn't tell me this why?" he asked.
"Because I figured you'd think I was joking." Kate said.
"Why would anyone, especially you joke about this?" Jim asked, "You once broke a guy's hand at the Academy because he'd told you an unfunny joke!"
Kate rubbed the back of her neck and giggled nervously.
Lighting flashed outside the window and the power went out making Kate scream.
B.E.N.'s eyes lit up providing some light as he looked around.
"Okay, nobody panic." Delbert said.
"Anyone know how to get the power back on?" Kate asked, "Being reminded of when my mom locked me in the basement for three days straight with no food or water over here."
"Wait, she did that?" Jim asked.
"Yeah, and it freaks me out to no extent." Kate said, "I mean, I haven't had a panic attack since I was ten, but being in total darkness isn't exactly a pleasant experience for me."
Morph transformed into a flashlight and looked around the room.
Kate winced when Morph shined in her eyes.
"Hey, careful!" she said, "Being blinded by light isn't any better."
Morph blew a raspberry and laughed.
"Okay, Morph, come on, let's go find the generator." Jim said.
"On it Jimmy!" B.E.N. said.
"No, I've got it!" Jim said grabbing Morph and making a run for it.
"Uh, anyone have any idea what that was about?" Kate asked.
"Not a clue." B.E.N. said.
"I'm betting it had something to do with almost half of the control wires from the R.L.S Legacy being removed at some point when we were stranded on Treasure Planet." Caption Amelia said.
"Well, guess we just have to wait for a…" Kate started.
Just then the lights flickered back on.
"Well, that was fast." B.E.N. said.
"Who turned the lights back on?" Jim called.
"No one!" Kate replied, "I think we just temporarily lost power."
Then the lights went out again.
"I'll go see what happened." Jim called sounding annoyed.
There were a couple of yelps followed by a large crash coming from the stairs.
"What was that?" Jim called.
"Ow! Angelica get off!" Victoria's voice called.
"Well if Eliza hadn't shoved me…" Angelica started.
"I'm not the one to blame! It's our idiot brother's!" Eliza yelled.
"Not my fault unlike you three I don't have night vision!" Isaac protested.
"It's just Delbert and Caption Amelia's kids!" Kate called.
The lights flickered back on again.
"What are you four doing up?" Delbert asked as he and Caption Amelia helped them to their feet.
"We heard someone scream followed by the lights going on and off." Victoria said brushing off her nightgown.
"Then we heard talking down here and figured that you'd be here and know what was going on." Angelica said.
"Angelica was scared of the storm." Eliza said snickering.
"Was not!" Angelica protested.
The lights went out again but flicked on right away.
"Okay," Jim said walking back over, "hopefully that's the end of the…"
The lights went out again.
"Oh come on!" Jim yelled.
"I honestly don't think there's much we can do regarding the lights." Caption Amelia said.
"What if we completely restart the generator?" Kate asked, "Shut the power completely off for a bit then turn it back on."
"That could work; however with the storm, it's very risky." Delbert said, "It could attract lightning and start a fire."
"And this is the worst storm Montressor has had in years." Sarah said, "It's probably best we all just try to ignore the lights and get some sleep."
"Well, if the lights are still acting up in the morning and the storm's passed, maybe then we should try restarting the whole thing." Kate said yawning.
Jim nodded.
"Sounds good." He said.
Jim and the others continued to their rooms in a group, Morph and B.E.N. providing light when the power would do out so everyone could make it to their rooms safely and not get the room mixed up with a guest's.
"Okay, finally we reach my room." Kate said yawning, "Why didn't you go to your room when we reached it?"
"I-I wanted to make sure you got here okay." Jim said.
Kate smiled, then frowned.
"Okay, what's wrong?" she asked, "You look worried, and, well, sad."
Jim looked away avoiding eye contact.
"This is about the dream, isn't it?" Kate asked.
Jim didn't reply, but his face showed he was shocked she'd figured it out.
"It was about earlier, wasn't it?" Kate asked, "What could of happened if you hadn't reacted when you did."
Jim forced back tears but nodded.
Kate sighed.
"Look, why don't you stay in my room tonight?" she asked, "That way you'll know I'm okay and if you start having another bad dream I can get you up, alright?"
Jim nodded slowly while his face turned red. He felt embarrassed that he had to stay in Kate's room overnight like a little kid because he was scared.
'Why do I feel this way?' he thought, 'Why is she suddenly consuming all my thoughts? Why am I so scared I'll lose her?'
"Just don't tell my mom, okay?" Kate asked.
Jim nodded.
"No problem there." He said.
Kate nodded before going in her room.
"Good night." She said crawling into bed.
"Good night." Jim said.
SPH: And done! I was inspired to write this chapter, namely Jim's incident with Ironbeard, who was supposed to be the antagonist of Treasure Planet 2 (I just had to use him, sorry) by the My Teacher Murdered Someone video by Rebeca Pharm on her YouTube Chanel Let Me Explain Studios. I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I am too tired to ask questions so this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now. Peace out and keep spreading the Treasure Planet love! See ya!
