Chapter 8 - Is the Battle Really Won?

"Oh good your awake" I said smiling to the two men in the door. I decided on annoying them as much as I could. "How was your coffee this morning? Can I get you the news paper?" With out saying a word the two of them came to my side and picked me up. "Yikes I herd of breakfast in bed but never like this. What is for breakfast any way, I mean I cant kick anyone's but with out anything to eat" I said

"Shut up" Peter said

"Okay" I said. Figuring I was digging my self in a little too deep. We walked though a door that lead out side. The sun coming over the hill was a stunning sight. I hit the ground. Peter and Matt ran off somewhere so I was left alone. There where bleachers around me, all empty.

"Bugs, Daffy!" I called out.

"Ken" I herd a call back. Looking over to my right I saw them run torts me. I bolt torts them. Latching on to Daffy hiding my head into his chest.

"I'm scared" I whispered. Daffy tightened his grip on me and Bugs did the same.

"It's okay Ken, Its okay." Bugs said.

"KENDRA. It is time." I voice boomed over a speaker. I let go of Daffy. Turning around I felt tears come to my eyes.

"What do you want Mat? What do you want? How about you Peter? What are you thinking in that mind of yours?" I yelled waving a fist in the air.

"To see you fall" the two voices called at the same time. In confusion I stopped yelling. All of a sudden two meddle restraints cam out of the ground and latched around my feet. "Ready" a voice asked that I could not make out. A wave of electricity surged through my feet and body. Letting out a scream I fell to the ground. My feet where set free. Gasping for air, I saw feet walk torts me. I knew that they belonged to both Matt and Peter.

"What?" I asked "I fell, now let me go" I pleaded.

"You think it is that easy? You think we are going to let you go like that?" Peter said as he grabbed hold of my shirt and pulled me up. Looking around I saw that Bugs and Daffy where gone.

"What did you do to Bugs and Daffy? Where are they?" I asked with a little more force in my voice.

"Let's play a game" Matt said as Peter let me go.

"What is the game?" I asked.

"Find the Duck and Rabbit" Peter said.

"I want a hint. And the rules" I said and Matt shrugged.

"Why not. Rules are as follows: one, you have 2 moments to find them. Two, you can only take 7 steps in any direction. And three, you can't call out to them. Your hint is that they are to your left"

"If I win…." I started. "This is over and we never have to look back at this and we can all go home."

"And if you loose?" Matt questioned

"You can do what you want to me, no questions asked." I replied there was a yell from Bugs and Daffy to my right. The yell was my name and a loud no. I looked back at Matt and Peter. "Both of you are sneeks and cheats."

"Your time started 60 seconds ago" Matt said. I ran. Taking 7 large steps turning 7 steps, turning 7 steps and following that pattern till I found the cake that They where both in.

"DONE" I said. "Open the cake and let them out and get out of my life!" I yelled at the two boys. Surprising Matt walked over to the door and opened it. Bugs and Daffy piled out and latched onto me.

"I bet you think you are in the clear." Peter said. I looked at him over Bugs arm that I shifted so that it was around my neck. "Matt is a man of his word. You are still stuck with me."

"Not any more" I said. "Peter you, you, you. We are done"

"You can't do that" He said.

"Your right, I can't" I said

"What?" Bugs asked looking at me.

"Well I cant. Not here, not now. But I can at school so everybody knows. And I can at the police station so justice can be served"

"You would not dare"

"Try me. I have had the most enlighten few days ever. Try and test me" I said partly daring him to. With a huff Peter ran off. And matt took a step forward.

"You won. Witch is more than I expected. But Peter is right; I am a man of my word. Well most of the time. You are free to go. The park is that way." Matt said pointing in the direction we should go. Daffy lead the way and we walked past the man that put me through pain and trial.

"That is all she wrote." I said as we entered that park once more. "Sad really"

"How?" Daffy asked returning to his normal actions. "How is this sad?"

"Daffy has a point, Doc" Bugs chipped in.

"Its over. That is how. This weekend, or weeks, any way you want to look at it. I have figured out so much stuff. To the point where I found out I had lost myself." I said

"Well, we found you, got you in trouble and you got us out. We owe you. That is a fact." Bugs said putting his hand on my shoulder. A humming noise came from a distance. Then a pink blur flashed by us.

"What was that?" I asked and received and 'I don't know' from the both of them. The blur came back and stopped in front of us. Jen jumped off the pink moped.

"Hey, I wanted to see if you needed help. I was able to sneak away from mom." She said.

"Where did you get the moped? Wait don't answer that." I said shaking my head.

"Good, because you don't want to know." She said smiling

"JEN" I started but was cut off.

"We solved the problem, thank you Jen." Bugs said.

"Holly crap, you really are real" she said pocking Daffy in the gut.

'Hey hey hey, nock it off" Daffy said swatting her hand away.

"So cool. So Ken, why don't we head home. I don't want to be out to late" Jen added. I nodded. Looking around, I fond a pen on the ground. I wrote me phone number on Bugs' glove.

"Call me, if you need me. Dead serious" I said.

"Okay" both Bugs and Daffy said at the same time. With our parting good byes I climbed on the back of the moped and we drove off.

"Your mother thinks you are at my house. You so owe me" Jen said

"That I do" I said looking back at the waving Bugs and Daffy. I waved back.

"Do you really think she meant it? We could call her if needed?" Daffy asked Bugs once the moped was out of sight.

"I do think so. And I have a feeling that we will meet again" Bugs said. And they separated to go to their respected houses.

Far away. Matt was walking around thinking about what had just happened. "Until we meet again, Ken. Until we meet again" he said. He turned around and walked back into the building where he was planning his next move.
