Chapter 63: Chloe, Too Much Work
Why did I decide to give myself so much work? I hate college board. I hate work in general. I have lost at least 2 days' worth sleep. It's a Friday. Soon the week-end will come. Then I will be able to finally rest and sleep for al of Saturday. I really envy those Dreamers. How on earth does Nina convince Mr. O to let them have extensions on everything? Actually, I think Perry, Ben, and Jiwon convinced him. I can't really see any other Dreamers asking nor receiving the extensions, especially Connor.
"Do you want any kind of help?" Courtney asked with a gentle smile.
"Sleep" I answered as my head hit my desk.
"You're almost there. Come on, you can do it" she reassured me as she rubbed my back in a comforting manner.
Before I could say anything against that statement, a portal opened behind me. Oh, dear gods, please let it not be those two brothers.
"CHLOE!" they shouted in delight as they stood behind me.
This day cannot get any much worse.
"Are you ok? You look tired my comrade!" Papyrus asked in delight as he placed his skeleton hand on my shoulder.
"I am tired" I said with my voice mumbled against the desk.
Courtney silently chuckled at me.
"Don't worry. You can make it. This isn't nothing compared to what you've faced" Sans said coolly as he sat down on my couch.
Why do they have to be here of all days when I am very tired? Just why? I didn't want this. Couldn't they bother our prince for today? He prefers to hang out with them more than I do. All I have to do is protect their realm from the forces of darkness and that includes protecting Logan.
"Look, I just have a lot of work to do today. I can't relax just yet" I told them seriously as I lifted my face up from the desk.
It was only 1:15 pm. I wonder what else I have to do for the day. I took out my computer and recalled the essays I have due tonight. Well, I better get started. I began to proof read my essays while Courtney talked with Sans and Papyrus. She was very helpful when I needed peace and quiet.
"Alright. One down, two more to go" I whispered to myself as I opened up my Model UN paper.
Well, this won't be too bad, but it will take a while. It was almost time for my next class, so I closed the file and went to my class. It was oddly quiet. I checked the room, and I didn't see any of my classmates here. That's odd.
"Where is everyone?" Courtney asked as she stood ay my side.
"I don't know. I don't even see Dr. Wehrli here" I said as I looked behind his desk.
No, he wasn't here, and he wouldn't dare leave his classroom when class was starting. Did Joey finally convince the school to let us have Senior ditch day? That can't be it. It must be something else.
"Swellow fly around here. Maybe you can find something" Courtney said as she released Sewllow.
Her Swellow was powerful and pretty wise. I can see why she trusts him out of her whole Pokemon team. Swellow flew out of the classroom and went around the school. Actually, where did Sans and Papyrus go?
"They were just here" Courtney said suspiciously.
What is going on today? I just wanted to finish the day peacefully. I didn't want anything destructive or loud to happen. The two of us left the room and went to find them. I wonder if it has something to do with the Dreamers not being here. We didn't need them as much to protect our school anymore. When the Dreamers left our school, we were tasked with protecting it. There was a cause to this though. Since the Dreamers were gone, we've had to deal with some unpleasant enemies as well. Some of these enemies vowed revenge against the Dreamers for being defeated by them.
"I know what's going on" Courtney reasoned when she tossed out her Nintetails.
Her Ninetails was very elegant. It only gave off a little bit of heat, but the Ninetails was able to distort the reality in front of us. What is this?!
"What's going on?" I asked her surprised.
"Stay close to me. I think someone I know is here" Courtney advised as she looked around us.
I wonder who she was referring to. Does she know this person? Her Ninetails walked forwards as more and more of the reality around us became distorted. Then, she found a person and two Magcargos standing in front of us! Who is this man?
"Blaise. Why are you here?" Courtney asked seriously.
He didn't respond to us. He was eerily quiet, and Courtney knew he would talk to her. His eyes were dark and hazy for some reason. I don't understand why though. There's something wrong about this person.
"Blaise! What's wrong with you?" she shouted loudly.
Before she could do anything, his Magcargos charged at us! Courtney grabs my wrists and pulled me out of here. We were running down the hall as Blaise continued to send his Magcargos!
"That's an issue! We can't tell what's real or fake!" Courtney shouted seriously as she threw on my Ninetails' back.
"I think I know someone who can break this!" I said as I put my belongings in my bag.
I summoned my harp and prepared to summon Sans to my aid, but a fireball hit my hand! It was burnt a bit as I made my harp disappear.
"Gah! Oh, right. You're not used to fire. Well, that's going to be an issue unless I can treat your wound" Courtney said seriously, "Swellow! Aerial Ace!"
Her Swellow dove towards one of the Magcargos and launched powerful wind towards him! The Swellow defeated the Macargo, but the other Magcargo threw a rock at him! Her Swellow was defeated!
"Crap!" she shouted as she returned her Swellow back to her ball.
Ninetails stopped as more Magcargos appeared around us! Courtney stood in front of me and looked around cautiously.
"One of these must be the fake" Courtney murmured concerned.
I looked at the Magcargo's carefully when I held my wand on my other hand. I quickly pointed it at the window and cast the sunlight over us. Almost all of the Magcargos didn't flinch at the light except one.
"Ninetails use Flamethrower!" Courtney shouted.
Her Ninetails unleashed a powerful beam of fire and struck the Magcargo down! We were about to run when Blaise grabs Courtney from behind! I was surprised, but Courtney kept struggling to break free from his grip. She gave me a serious look.
"Ninetails get Chloe away from here!" she ordered.
Before I could protest, her Ninetails quickly pulled me out of the hallway! I couldn't believe this! Once Ninetails stopped in front of Mr. Stephen's room, I hopped off her. I looked around as I came to the conclusion; this is all an illusion. Somehow Blaise had caught us in an illusion. There has to be a way out of here. I have to call out to Sans somehow.
I cupped my hands around my face and shouted with all my might "SANS!"
My voice echoed throughout the school, hoping he would hear my voice. Ninetails and I waited in silence. Please, I have to save her.
"Took you long enough to figure this out. I thought the lack of noise would've regained your senses" Sans said as he appeared from his portals.
I jumped back as my hand landed over my heart. Does he seriously have to do that?!
"Well, I was currently too tired to notice anything at the moment. But, can you help us?" I asked him worriedly.
He nodded his head and said "Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I've got this. Now, you just have to trust me"
I titled my head to my right side in confusion. Just what plan was he thinking of? I seriously wish I thought of an idea. I was standing in the Auditorium while Sans and Ninetails were standing away from me. The room was becoming hotter by the second! He was here! I was on my knees when the temperature became hotter. I couldn't see straight. I could hear someone laughing though. Before I could do anything, I heard someone shouting. I looked up and saw two giant bones in front of me!
"Did you do it?" I asked as the temperature became lighter.
"Almost. He's strong though. I'll need some help smashing this false reality" Sans said as he appeared besides me, "Come on, give me your hand"
I was bit worried, but I joined my hand with his. We faced Blaise who was trying to get out of the bones. A blue light shined as cracks began to form around us. We combined our powers and broke through his illusions! I looked around as I saw the false reality falling apart. I saw students sitting in the Auditourim. Everyone was ok. I heard someone fall to the ground and saw Blaise. His Magcargos came to his aid while Courtney fell from the ceiling. She landed behind us as she smiled at me.
"You know, for being tired, you were wide awake" Courtney pointed out with a smile.
"I've noticed" I said as I fell to the ground.
"Are you ok kid?" Sans asked as he looked over me.
"I don't feel that great after that. Also, my hand hurts still" I stated weakly.
Yeah, I have a feeling lack of sleeping, overworking myself, and getting my hand burnt caused me to be sick. I didn't care what happened next, but Courtney returned her Ninetails while Sans used his powers to lift me in the air.
"You're going to rest until I say so" Courtney said as she took my phone.
She texted my group that I would not be attending class. Sans took Blaise back to Pokeworld to find out what happened to him. I was resting in my room as Courtney took care of me. I was very grateful she was here to help me. She helped me feel rested and finish my homework. I feel very calm about this. I just hope I could keep up my work while being a Descendent.
