Kates' P.O.V
I yawned as I walked down the stairs, today was our last day at Summerland, how time flies.
"How the leaves change, how September turns to October," my mom stated as I walked down the stairs, everyone looked at her in confusion while I smirked. It wasn't a normal smirk, like Keith does, no this one was a maniac smirk.
"What you mean mom?" Remi asked innocently, I snuck up behind her with a flashlight; don't ask where I got it from.
"She means," I turned the light on under my face as my dad turned the light off, "Halloween," I whispered in her ear, Remi jumped a mile.
"KATHERINE STOP DOING THAT!" she yelled at me, I looked at her innocently.
"I do it every year, you should be used to it," I stated, "And do not call me Katherine Reminala," I growled, she glared at me.
"Reminala?" Rythmi asked, I looked at her.
"It's Remis' full name," I pointed out as I walked into the kitchen to talk to my mom and dad, mainly my mom.
"I need some Halloween costumes doing," I said to her, she cocked a brow at me.
"What's your prank this year?" she asked me, I smirked.
"I don't wanna give anything away, but I need," I began counting the number of people I would have help me. I would have Crawford, Rythmi and Isaac, so four people, including me, "Four costumes, make them like what grim reaper wears," I added; my mom gave me a confused look.
"You mean off of Billy and Many?" she asked, my mouth fell open, before I shook my head.
"No way, like this," I said as I pulled out my phone and looked at the pictures, "This for the girls, I need two," I pointed out, then pulled up another picture, "And this for the boys, again I need two," I explained, my mom looked at the pictures before looking at me, she nodded her head.
"Seems simple enough," she smiled, I smiled back.
"Good, you wouldn't want to let me down would you?" I asked her, she smiled wider at me.
"Honey it's Halloween, when have I ever let you down?" she asked, I looked at her.
"Good point, well just send them when you're done," I said before walking out the door, this Halloween would be awesome.
"Oh Kate, your mom brought up Halloween," Ms April said as I took my seat next to Keith, pervert was listening to his headphones, I smirked.
"Hold that thought," I ordered as I slammed Keiths' face into his cereal. He yelped before looking at me.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" he yelled, I raised a brow at him.
"You really have to ask?" I asked, he looked at me confused, then sighed.
"Fine, I guess I deserved that," he mumbled, I smiled.
"You so did," I agreed as I turned my attention back to Ms April, "You were saying?" I asked, she looked at me shocked before shaking her head, I think she was getting used to this.
"We do not allow any sort of Halloween pranks in the school," she explained, my mouth dropped open as I looked at her.
"Can I talk to you, in the kitchen?" I asked her, she nodded before walking with me into the kitchen.
"Mom, dad, the school won't allow Halloween pranks," I whined, the two turned to me, my mother shocked, while my father frowned.
"The Queen of Halloween always plays a prank on people, no matter where she is," my father stated, I nodded my head.
"She'll either do it with permission or without, so just give her permission and get it over with," my mom stated, I smiled at them, then turned to Ms April.
"I'm afraid she'll have to take it up with Mr Lamont," she sighed, I smiled, piece of cake, mmm cake.
"Mom can I have some cake?" I asked, she hit me over the head with a spoon, "OW!" I yelled, she smiled at me.
"The cake's for later," she explained, I looked at her.
"So there is cake?" I asked as I walked to the fridge.
"KATHERINE ATREYA JONES!" she yelled, I stopped in my tracks, she did not just yell my full name.
"ATREYA?" Keiths' voice reached my ears, "THAT'S CLASSIS!" he yelled as he began laughing. I growled before hearing the sound of a chair hit the floor, and Keith whining, I smiled.
"Thank you Rythmi," I called.
"Any time," was her reply, I smiled as I advanced towards the fridge again.
"Don't even think about it," my mom said, by now Ms April had left the room, while the others were packing, considering I only brought one bag, I didn't need to pack.
"One piece?" I asked, my puppy dog eye out, my mom looked at me.
"Aww," she cooed as she looked at me, "No," she said, I frowned before pouting.
"You're mean," I said as I walked away from the fridge, she handed me a chocolate covered spoon.
"Here, you can lick this," she said as she handed it to be, my eyes went wide with excitement, don't ask why though, I LOVED CHOCOLATE.
"YEAH!" I yelled as I stuck it in my mouth, only half of it went in, Remi made a pukey face.
"It's amazing that the whole thing won't fit in her mouth," my dad said, I stuck my chocolate covered tongue out at him, Remi 'ew'd' at me.
"Keep it in your mouth Katie, I don't know how you can eat it," she said, I smiled, I was a he fan of chocolate, but Remi only ate it when she was in the mood for it, or when it involved ice-cream.
After licking the last bit of the spoon, my mom took it from me before washing it. She smiled at me as she looked at the time.
"Your boat will be leaving soon, go get your things and Glaceon," she ordered, I did as told as I ran up to my room. As I walked I heard a thump come from Keiths' room, I sighed as I walked over to it before walking in.
Big mistake, no HUGE MISTAKE. In front of me was a naked, not to mention soaking wet, Keith. He had only just gotten out of the shower; he must have fallen off the tailed floor.
"AH!" he yelled before covering up with the towel, "DON'T YOU KNOCK?" he asked, I blushed. There was one thing I could tell you and it was Keith wasn't such a small dick after all. I shook the thought away before looking at him; both our faces were stained red.
"I-I heard a thump and figured you might have hurt yourself," I explained, "I only came to check on you, I didn't expect you to be naked, most people lock their doors when they shower or bathe," I added, he glared at me.
"Shut your mouth Flat Chest," he glared at me, I glared back.
"I was only trying to help Small Dick," I shot back, he looked at me.
"We never speak of this again, deal?" he asked, I shook his hand.
"Deal," I agreed before walking to my room. I slammed the door behind me before sliding down it, my face a full on red.
"I did not need to see that," I muttered as I walked to my bag, I looked at Glaceon, who was sleeping soundly before I began packing.
About half way through packing there was a knock on my door, I turned to it, please don't let it be Keith.
"Come in," I called as I turned back to my bag, I looked in my mirror to see Seren and Ryth, I sighed, "Thank Arceus," I muttered as I turned around to face them, they smiled at me.
"Hey Kate," they greeted in unison.
"Hey gu-," I was cut off as an immense pain shot through my head; I gripped it quickly before falling to my knees.
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!" that was my voice.
"But I already have,' I didn't know whose voice that was.
"WE'LL STOP YOU!" Keiths' voice.
The pain subsided a little bit as I looked around, I wasn't in my room anymore, I was on top of a tower. I saw myself there, a figure in front of me; Keith was next to me, overhead were Seren and two other Rangers, Rythmi stood to the side as Kellyn held up, while looked like an injured Isaac.
I screamed in pain as I held my hands in front of me, my breathing began gasps as I tried to slow it down. My door was slammed open as Keith, Kellyn and Isaac entered the room.
"What happened?" Isaac asked, Kellyn looked at us.
"We heard someone scream, is everything ok?" he asked, I stood to my feet as I tried to steady myself.
"Everything's fine," I muttered as I looked at Glaceon, "Would ya mind?" I asked, Glaceon filled a nearby bucket with ice cold water. I walked over to it before splashing it on my face. What the hell was that?
"Gla?" I looked at the blue ice type pokemon besides me.
"I'm fine," I muttered, Ryth put her hand on my shoulder.
"You sure?" she asked, I nodded, Seren looked at me.
"What was that?" she asked, I shrugged.
"I have no idea," I muttered as I finished packing my bag.
Walking down the boardwalks towards the boat was fun, people laughed and played as we did so. Once we got to the boat, my Grandpa and Grandmamma were there waiting for us to board it. I smiled at them, before turning to hug Remi, mom, dad and Safia.
Once we were on the boat, we bid everyone goodbye as we waved to them, Glaceon by my side as we did so. I didn't want to say bye, but we knew it was coming.
Once Summerland was out of sight I turned to my Grandpa and Grandmamma.
"Grandmamma," I smiled as I hugged her, she hugged me back.
"Katie, it's been so long," she stated, I gave her a look, then thought; I hadn't seen her since I left for Ranger School.
"I guess it has," I answered as she spoke to me about Crawford, the Ranger School, what had been happening in Fiore, but mostly about family stuff.
Two hours passed and we arrived back in Summerland, I smiled as we got off the boat, then onto the coach. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep, even though the coach ride wasn't that long.
"You won't get away with this."
"I already have."
"We'll stop you."
The same voices played in my dream as what I had heard before; I squeezed my eyes shit tighter as I tried to get rid of them.
"KEITH!" my voice, what was going on?
"Send her to the darkness," a voice I didn't recognise, a grunt from Keith.
"KATE!" he yelled, I gasped for breath as I was pulled into a black hole by some eerie hands.
"Come to me my child, the darkness shall take you."
I screamed as I shot up from my dream, I was still on the coach, but we had arrived at the Ranger School. Keith was looking at me in shock as he stood from his seat.
"Jheeze, what is your problem?" he asked, I looked at him; he wasn't hurt or anything, but that dream, those voices they felt….real. I stood as I hugged Keith tightly, the boy froze under my touch before pushing me off, "What is your problem?" he asked again, I only smiled at him.
"Nothing," I answered as I ran off the coach, leaving an obviously confused Keith.
"Hey Kate, was that you who screamed a min ago?" Ryth asked once I was off the coach, I nodded my head slightly.
"Yeah, I had a nightmare, that's all," I answered as I grabbed my bag, she gave me a doubtful look, I only smiled at her, "I'm fine, I promise," I added as I began to walk towards the dorm rooms by myself.
Normal P.O.V
"So it was Kate who screamed?" Seren asked as she, Rythmi, Kellyn, Isaac and Keith grabbed the rest of their stuff.
"Yeah," Keith and Rythmi answered in unison, Ryth looked at him.
"How do you know?" she asked, Keith rolled his eyes.
"I was still on the coach when she screamed," he stated, Rythmi gave him a small nod.
"Kate's not herself," Isaac stated, "Ever since the incident in her room, she seems jumpy," he added, Rythmi nodded.
"Tell me about it," Keith muttered as he grabbed his final bag, "The girl hugged me," he stated, Rythmis' mouth dropped.
"Why?" she asked, Keith only shrugged.
"I have no idea, when I asked what was up, she said nothing," he pondered, Rythmi snickered.
"Kate's falling for you," she teased, Keith glared at her.
"We just got back, don't make me kill you," he said, Rythmi held her hands up in defeat, while the other three sweat dropped.
"Well, we should go check on her, ne?" Kellyn asked, the others nodded as they walked towards the school.
Once Kate entered her room she walked over to her draw and pulled out her sketch pad. Throwing her bag onto her bed, while Glaceon climbed on it, the Ranger-to-be opened her sketch pad. She frowned; all the pictures had been smudged or ruined.
"What the?" Kate asked herself as she flipped through them, her eyes widened at the letters she saw, "S-u-m-m-e-r-l-a-n-s G-i-f-t w-i-l-l b-e d-e-s-t-r-o-y-e-d," she read aloud, "Summerlands' Gift will be destroyed," she reread, before dropping the sketch pad out of horror, on the page after was a picture of piercing red eyes. But she hadn't drawn them, she didn't remember drawing them. There was no way someone got into the dorms, this had to be some kind of joke.
"Kate?" Rythmi asked, Kate turned to her in fright; she didn't relax when she saw Rythmi and the others. The only people who knew she was Summerlands' Gift were Rythmi, Seren and her family, but they would never do this, so who?
"Kate what's wrong?" Seren asked as she rushed over, she noticed her sketch pad, picking it up she looked at Kate in confusion, "Kate what's wrong?" she asked again, Kate looked at her.
"The letters," she muttered, Seren looked in the sketch pad.
"What letters?" she asked, Kate took the pad from her, her eyes widened in shock. The drawings were fine, nothing was smudged or ruined and the drawing of the red eyes had gone. The page was clean, like nothing had ever been there.
Kate sighed in relief, she was confused, maybe she had just imagined it all. Nothing was out to get her, the nightmares were making her jumpy, that had to be it.
"N-never mind, I'm just imagining it," she whispered, more to herself than anyone, "I just need sleep," she added louder as she walked to her bed. She threw the bag onto the floor before climbing in, pulling the covers over her, Glaceon cuddled up next to her, the minute Kates' head it the pillow, her eyes closed, her world was taken away by the darkness.
"Aren't you going to change?" Keith asked as he looked at her, Seren looked at Kates' sleeping form.
"She's out cold," she told them, Rythmi looked at Kate with furrowed brows.
"If she's not better tomorrow, we'll have Janice look at her," she said, the others nodded before leaving the room. Rythmi walked over to Kates' sketch pad, she picked it up, there was nothing on it. Turning the page she dropped the book in shock and horror, written on the page was a warning;
'No matter what you do, how hard you try, I will destroy them both, stay out of my way, or I'll destroy you too,'
Rythmi picked the book up again, but the warning was gone, she looked at it in confusion before setting it down, she would talk to Kate about it tomorrow. Hopefully everything would be back to normal, no jumpy Kate, no creepy warnings that appear then disappear and no dark figures watching from out the window.
