The group huddled together as they walked towards Monsters Inc. It was already evening and they knew it was now or never.

"Okay, so we go in through the front door or what?" Mike asked.

Randall shook his head. "No, we'll go through the back. I'll go first and bring Mary with me. There's a high-"

"Whoa, whoa, Boggs. Mary isn't going anywhere with you." Sulley said.

"It's the only way we can get him distracted. There's a high chance that Waternoose is expecting the both of us, and he doesn't know that I was planning on going against him." Randall said.

"And, you're just a good citizen helping out, right?" Mike asked, raising his brow.

"Look, I'm not doing this to prove anything to any of you. I'm just doing this to make up for what I tried to do several years ago, and for Mary." Randall said.

"Oh, so you think doing this will wipe that away?" Sulley asked.

"Guys, stop fighting!" I yelled.

They all stopped and looked at me. Sulley sighed and nodded his head.

"She's right, We'll deal with this later. Okay, you want to take her with you? Fine, but we'll do it my way, understand?" Sulley asked.

"Fair enough." Mike said.

"Whatever." Randall said.

"Let's hear it." I said, smiling at him.

I entered the factory and looked around for Waternoose. I had my backpack with me and decided to sketch some of the main rooms in the factory, in case I got lost or something. The factory was huge, so I was going to need them. I passed by a large group of hallways, and decided to explore them. Suddenly, more and more memories came pouring into my head as I walked through those halls. I had seen them before.

"Sullivan! Sullivan! Give me the child!" Waternoose yelled, as Sulley ran with Boo and her door in his hands.

"Me not go!" Boo cried to Waternoose.

"Give her to me!" he yelled.

I let out a small gasp as I was pulled out from the memory by a chuckle. Slowly, I turned and saw Waternoose, standing behind me.

"Well, well, well. You managed to escape from Randall, eh?" he asked.

"No, I'm...he dropped me off here. He said he had to take care of something." I replied.

"Where have you two been all day?" Waternoose asked, circling around me.

It wasn't a good time for me to be scared, but I was trying really hard not to shake with fear. Not only because of what Waternoose could have done, but because he was a freaking a spider! And, a really big one!

"We escaped the CDA base, and we had to get a disguise for me. He didn't really tell me anything." I replied.

"Well, once he returns, I'll explain to him that we're going to have a change in plans." he said.

"A change?" I asked.

"Mr. Boggs thought I was only going to get my revenge on Sullivan through humilliation, but that's not the case anymore. I know the right way to bring him down."

"Can I ask...how?"

Waternoose stopped circling me, and grinned. Then, he stood in front of me and stared at me with all eight of his eyes. If Mike had one big eye that was hard for me to get used to, then Waternoose had one-too-many.

"You've grown so much, my dear. It's been a long time since I've seen you." he said.

I blinked. "And you brought this up because...?"

I know that was probably a dumb thing to do, but why did he change the subject so suddenly and awkwardly?

"Sullivan really cared for you. He risked his own life for you. It's a shame that I have to ruin such a delicate face." Waternoose said, reaching out his hand.

His pointy finger nail traced my jawline, making me shut my eyes. I was completely stricken with fear but tried to remain calm. With all my courage, I slapped his hand away.

"You're not going to get away with this. Sullivan already knows I'm here and he's going to stop you."

"Oh, I'm aware that he knows you're here. But, once he sees what I'm going to do to you, he'll be sorry."

And with that, Waternoose gave me a hard slap on the face. I fell to the ground wth a small cry. My left cheek stung and I placed my hand over it. He walked over to me and grabbed my arm tightly. I winced as he stood me up.

"We don't have time to wait for Randall, you're coming with me." he sneered.

He dragged me away, until a voice made him freeze.

This was NOT part of the plan. Kitty...help me.

"Let her go, Waternoose."

"Randall?" he asked, looking for him.

"That's right, now let her go." Randall growled.

Waternoose tightened his grip on my arm, and chuckled.

"So, you've seen the light, have you? Now, you're risking your life for the child?" Waternoose asked.

Randall became visible and stood before us. I felt tears come to my eyes, as the pain on my cheek continued to sting me.

"Let me guess, you've got Sullivan and Wazowski on your side, as well?" Waternoose frowned.

"It's over, Waternoose. Now, hand her over." Sulley said, stepping from another hallway.

Waternoose threw me to the floor, and grabbed a handful of my hair. Sulley watched and was ready for anything.

"You humilliated me and this company by turning it into a circus for those wretched children." Waternoose growled.

"No, you and Randall made your own choices! But, now, Randall is trying to make up for it. You're not going to win, Waternoose." Sulley said.

"Oh, I'm not?" Waternoose laughed.

He leaned down and got me into a chokehold. Sulley moved forward but hesitated, not wanting to trigger Waternoose into hurting me.

"You take one more step, and I'll snap her little neck." he threatened.

"No, please, you can have this company back! I don't care, just let her go!" Sulley pleaded.

"You fool. This was never about getting my company back. All I wanted was for you to suffer." Waternoose chuckled.

"Kitty..." I managed to choke out.

"Boo...I'm sorry." Sulley said.

Clang!

Waternoose's grip on me loosened and he fell ontop of me. I let out a small scream, and tried to climb out from under him. Sulley helped me and hugged me tightly. I turned and saw Mike standing over Waternoose with a scream container

'We did it!" Mike cheered.

"Come on, we need to go." Randall said.

As soon as he said that, the lights went out. I clinged onto Sulley's fur and shielded my eyes. I was still a little bit afraid of the dark. He held me close and everyone was silent. Suddenly, they came back on and Waternoose was gone.

Randall said, "We gotta get out of here, before-"

Suddenly, silk wrapped around my waiste and I was pulled out of Sulley's arms and into Waternoose's. He covered my mouth with his hand and tried to give him a good punch in the jaw, but he was too strong.

"Boo!" Sulley cried.

Waternoose ran into another hall and towards a billboard that was holding tools. He pulled a switch and the billboard revealed a passage. Quickly, he carried me inside and the passage door shut. He covered it in pounds of silk and followed the path of the passage. Then, we entered a room I knew too well.

The scream extracter was repaired and Waternoose shackled me down into the chair. Then, he went over and quickly turned the device on.

"Farewell, my dear!" he said, running off.

Oh...God, this thing is going to suck the life out of me!

"Kitty! Mike!" I screamed as the device got closer to me.

No one answered me.

"Randall! Somebody, HELP!"

The device got closer to my mouth and I tried to lean back, and by more time. But, I could only lean so fear. The hose reached my mouth and I screamed one last time for help. My vision began to blur and I was losing oxygen. I was getting light-headed and I couldn't hold my head up anymore.

"MARY!"

"SHUT IT OFF!"

"I GOT IT!"

Randall...Mike...Kitty.
