Hey everyone! So yeah this chapter will perhaps be one of the craziest chapters yet. Be expecting anything.
Without further ado... Here is Chapter 9: Relive It.
"Look how peaceful they are," Cory said, turning to Topanga, who was asleep herself. Cory's mom and dad, plus Eric, went back to Philadelphia, so that left Shawn with Auggie. Cory knew that they were safe, but there was something bothering Cory. Something made him think although things were okay now, they wouldn't be okay much longer.
"Hey babe," Cory heard as he was thinking about what could go wrong. It was Topanga, oh how Cory needed someone to talk to right now.
"Hey," Cory said, with a smile on his face, as Topanga leaned on his arm, looking over at Riley and Maya.
"I still can't believe that Feeny saved her life," Topanga said, and Cory smiled. He knew that Feeny would've sacraficed his life for anyone.
"Yeah, but Topi," Cory said, sitting up, and staring right into Topanga's eyes, "Do you think this is the end?"
"Honey, honestly, I don't," Topanga said, and Cory shot up.
"What do you mean? You aren't suppose to agree with me," Cory said, and Topanga began to form tears in her eyes.
"Cory, she could have PTSD, we already know that she will have to heal physically, we know she will feel physically, but emotionally... Cory I- I, I'm scared," Topanga said, with tears streaming down her face. Cory hated to see Topanga cry. He honestly wished that the person that did all this wasn't dead, so he could kill him.
"Be careful what you wish for," a voice, that sounded like Feeny's, said in his head.
"Topanga, she'll be alright. She has Maya, and me, and you, plus Shawn and Auggie, and let's not forget-"
"It's Farkle!" Farkle said, opening the door, with Lucas right behind him.
"Them," Cory said, as Farkle and Lucas both sat down in chairs, and looking at Cory, waiting to see if he will say something, "What?" Cory said, who began to get uncomfortable with them staring at him.
"Obviously, you know how to fix this," Lucas said, and Cory stood up and looked both at Farkle and Lucas.
"No, Mr. Friar, I don't," Cory said, and then Maya woke up.
"Oh, hey Lucas. And Farkle," Maya said, getting out of Riley's bed, and looking at her. Riley looked very peaceful, but vulnerable.
"Hey Maya," both Lucas and Farkle said, as Maya grabbed a seat next to them, looking at Cory. All her life, as long as she could remember, Cory could always help her. Can he do it this time?
"Guys, I wish I knew what to do, but I really don't," Cory said, and Maya smiled, looking at him.
"I don't know, Mr. Matthews, you always know, even if you think you don't," Maya said, and then Topanga spoke up.
"I know what to do. Be there for her. If she is hurting, comfort her. If she is worried, reassure her. If she gets depressed, make her happy. She is your friend, she'll be able to talk to you three more and feel comfortable doing it," Topanga said, and Cory smiled. She was the one that always knew what to do, he was just there at the right time.
"Yeah, because you three, this world is getting ready to attack her. She is in a vulnerable state. I know you are still meeting the world, but now you need to help Riley conquer it," Cory said, and then Lucas, Farkle, and Maya smiled. They would be there for Riley, and help her conquer whatever pain the world has lying ahead.
"We will," Lucas said.
"We promise," Maya said, with a little giggle at the end. She was probably the happiest person to see Riley. After all, her world, needed Riley in it. As they were sitting there, waiting for Riley to wake up, Cory's phone rang.
"I'll be right back," Cory said, as he went out to answer his phone, "Hello," Cory said, and the voice on the other end made a shock of nerves go through his body.
"Haha Mr. Cory Matthews, I guess that you and Shawn should've killed me while I had the chance," Seth said, with a laugh.
"I swear to god if you come anywhere near my family I will kill you," he said, and then Seth laughed.
"You still don't get it, do you. I'm not only wanting to kill your precious little wife. I want to kill your entire family," he said, and Cory laughed.
"Have fun trying. We will make sure you fail," Cory said, before hanging up the phone. Then, he let the nerves set in. The cops said they killed him, why didn't they? Then, he got another phone call.
"Look, quit calling my phone!" Cory yelled, and then his voice was alright, after he heard another voice.
"Its Officer Nono, we regret to tell you this, but-"
"You forgot to kill the guy, how stupid can you be?" Cory yelled, before hanging up his phone and storming back into his daughter's hospital room, where he found his daughter awake.
"Riley," Cory said, with a smile on his face, kissing her forehead, when she looked up at him, and knew something was wrong.
"Daddy, they didn't catch him, did they?" Riley said, and Cory looked down, with sad eyes.
"No, they didn't," Cory said, before embracing his daughter in a hug, and climbing on the bed with her, "I'm going to protect you."
"I trust you," Riley said, as she put her head on his chest, ignoring the pain. She was finally glad to he back in his comfort. For the first time in a while, she felt like a little kid that didn't care.
"Thanks," Cory said, before kissing her forehead, and resting his head on a pillow, and immediately falling asleep, and Riley soon followed after him. Then, Topanga grabbed Lucas's arm, and pulled him outside the room.
"You are going to protect those girls, mainly when Cory isn't around. Got it?" Topanga said, and Lucas smiled.
"Will do, Mrs. Matthews," Lucas said, before looking inside the room. Everything seemed to be back to normal.
He knew it would be far from normal, for a little while.
"Auggie, it's time to get up," Shawn said, walking into Auggie's room. After getting him up, he got him up and ready, and then as they went to open up the door, Shawn was took back by who was in front of him.
"Hey Auggie, Shawny, time to say night night," Seth said, before knocking the two of them unconscious, tying Shawn up, and dragging Auggie out of the house.
"It's time to relive your sister's pain, little boy," Seth said, laughing.
Your worst nightmare came true. Seth is back. He has Auggie. What is going to happen? Will Auggie be safe? Will Cory be able to protect the others? Find out next time!
Thanks for reading!
