Chp 15 Losing Control

Cody whirled around and gasped at the figure in front of him. It was Bailey but not her. She seemed as pale as a ghost and looked angry and tired. She was glaring at him with intense angry eyes.

"Bailey, where did you come from I..........." He started to say but she glared at him. "Bailey?" he asked. She didn't say anything, she yelled and jumped towards him, he hands heading to his throat. He dove out of the way and fell to the cold ground.

"Bailey, this isn't you doing this, snap out of it." He said standing up. She tried to go for him again and he brought his arms up and blocked her attack. She grabbed one of his arms and pulled it hard and twisted it behind his back. She tried to bring her free arm around his neck but Cody wriggled away and fell to the floor.

"Bailey, stop it!" He yelled. He once again stood up. He knew he had to run for the door and try to open it. It was going to be his only way out. She swung her arm to punch him, he ducked and rolled under her arm. Now he was between her and the door. He turned to the door and kicked it, hoping to kick it open. But it didn't budge. Bailey pushed Cody from behind and he flew into the door. He hit his head on the wood and fell to the ground. Bailey stood over him as he laid dazed on the ground. She grabbed a towel from a nearby towel rail and wrapped it around his throat. Cody could feel what she was doing and he grabbed frantically at the towel and Bailey's hands trying to get her to free him. She pulled hard. Cody hated to do it but he knew he had to. He kicked his free legs and hit Bailey hard in the back. She let go and Cody rolled over and gasped for breath. He stood up and faced her.

"Bailey, please, you know you don't want to do this." He gasped.

"I am gonna kill you Ed." She said.

"I am not Ed, I am Cody. And you are Bailey." He said.

"I am Cassandra." She said.

"No you are not. You are Bailey, leave her alone Cassandra, she isn't your puppet." He called.

"You have to pay for what you did to me."

"I didn't do anything to you." He said as he backed up towards the door. She ran forward and pinned him to the door. She was quick and agile and took Cody off guard. But he was slightly stronger. He pushed her aside and she backed into wash basin. Cody tried to rush for the door again but she pushed him back. He tripped over his own feet and fell backwards hitting his head again. Bailey grabbed him by his collar and dragged him towards the bathtub. Cody felt dizzy but knew he had to try and fight back.

"Help!" He yelled, hoping to get the other attention. Bailey pulled Cody up and pushed him into the bathtub. Cody tried to get up but she struck him on the head. He blacked out. Bailey put the bathplug in and turned the tap on. She pushed him down and watched as the water started to fill the tub. A noise from the halls made her panic. She backed away and went to the door. She put the key in and opened it. She locked it behind her and disappeared down the hallway.

The group, including Bailey, searched the halls for a bathroom. They called Cody's name but there was no answer.

"Keep looking, he has to be around here somewhere." Zack said. They got to a series of doors and London looked to the floor.

"This door is crying." She said.

"What?" Zack asked looking at her. She pointed to the door and the puddle of water flooding onto the carpet of the halls. "What the........" Zack said.

"It has to be a bathroom." Moseby said. He tried the door but it was locked. "Locked." He said. Remembering what happened with Zack and the Library, Moseby started to bang on the door. "Cody!" He yelled.

"You think he is in there?" Zack asked.

"The door to the library was locked after Bailey.........the ghost..........attacked you." Moseby said. "Woody go and find that hammer."

"But I didn't attack Cody." Bailey said.

"We are not saying that, but Cody may be in here." Zack said. Woody returned with the hammer and Moseby started striking the door handle. In seconds it popped off and the door opened. Zack and Moseby gasped when they saw Cody, half submerged in a bathtub, water spilling from the sides and onto the floor.

"Oh my god!" Bailey exclaimed.

"Cody!" Zack said rushing to his brother. Moseby and Zack reached into the water and pulled him out. Addison and London raided the cupboards for towels. Moseby lowered Cody to the floor. Zack gently slapped Cody around the cheeks. "Wake up buddy, come on." He said. Cody gently opened his eyes. "Thank god."

"Let's get him out of here and get him dry." Moseby said.

"What happened?" Woody asked. The group helped Cody through to a nearby lounge room and sat him down. The girls wrapped the towels around Cody and tried to warm him up. He was shivering.

"Cody what happened?" Zack asked him. Cody was shivering from head to toe. Addison and Woody had offered to go find him some more clothes while the others tried to warm him up. Cody looked up to Bailey.

"What?" She asked.

"It....was......" Cody started. "You." The others looked from Cody to Bailey.

"Me, but I........."

"It was Chance, she was controlling you, but it was you." Cody said.

"I was asleep, I don't remember anything." Bailey said.

"You sure it was her?" Moseby asked.

"Yeah...........or at least Chance." Cody said. "I woke up and followed you out of the library into the bathroom, the door locked behind me and there you..........she.......was. She attacked me. I don't remember how I ended up in the bathtub."

"I was asleep...........wait...........I woke up on the floor, not on the seat where we fell asleep." Bailey said.

"Seems Chance controlled you to lure Cody away and then returned you so we wouldn't think something was wrong." Moseby said.

"She tried to kill him." Zack said.

"We found these, probably Adams." Woody said handing Moseby a pair of jeans and a jumper.

"Let's get Cody dry and changed into dry clothes." Zack said helping Cody to stand. The two headed over to a corner. Bailey sat down.

"I can't believe I would do that to him." She said. Moseby crouched down and faced her.

"You didn't do this remember. She did." He said.

"I can't keep doing this. I am putting people's lives in danger. I nearly killed Cody." She said.

"It wasn't your fault." London said putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"I obviously have no control as I don't remember getting up, she can control me like that?.........its scaring me." Bailey said.

"Well its morning now and I have confidence that someone is looking for us by now. They know we were heading to the castle. They will look here first. The driver must have contacted someone by now. It's a matter of time. As soon as we are out of here, we won't have to worry anymore."
