Chapter 26
I woke up in the middle of night, and saw Slick sleeping with his head falling off the bed. Why he was here...? I had no idea, but he would get a cramp in his neck sleeping like that so I pulled his head next to mine.
When I woke up in the morning, his hand was entangled with mine. His hair was in a tangled mess.
"How'd you get in here?" I whispered. "And why exactly?" His eyes fluttered open. When he focused one my face his eyes went wide.
"I'm-I'm sorry." He said sitting up. He scratched the back of his head. "I came in here because I couldn't sleep and came to see if you had the same problem. And when I saw you, you were having nightmares. So I sat with you until you stopped shuddering. When I tried to leave you grabbed my hand-"
"I-I grabbed your hand?" A scene from the nightmare flashed.
"You told me to stay. So I said 'For a little bit', but I must've fallen asleep." He said the last line with one breath. I sighed.
"Get out so I can get dressed." I said. He left and I changed and brushed my teeth and all the good stuff.
"Hey. Slick wasn't in his room this morning. I went to tell him the showers were open." M'gann said.
"Wait, you would tell him before me?" I asked.
"Well, he asked me yesterday to tell him. Beat you to it." She said with a shrug. "Cookie?" I took a cookie from the tray.
"Well, he kinda..." My voice was kinda lost.
"Did he just get up super early?" She asked.
"You could say that." I said gobbling down the cookie. She closed the topic. That or she figured I wouldn't say anything else about it.
"I think I'm going to take a few more of these..." I grab a handful of more cookies. "And eat them in the living room."
"Oh, okay." She called. "What about breakfast?"
"This is my breakfast!" I shouted from the couch. I flipped through the channels and found an interesting news channel.
"The amusement park, Eliche Gardens, has been closed." The young broadcaster announced. "Witnesses say that a ride broke down and passengers are still on the ride."
"Didn't we go there?" Slick appeared behind the couch.
"Yeah. Shh, I wanna listen."
"Someone's coming out!" The man said. The camera turned to get a shot. But the screen turned a fuzzy black and white. When the tv turned back, it was a different 'channel'.
Slade. The man was on the screen, and behind him was a few others.
"Sorry to interrupt. But we have a very important announcement." His mechanical voice that over shadowed his own echoes through the speakers.
"Turn it up." Slick grabbed the remotes and turned it up.
"Now, we have only one request. A certain Kayla Mogdragon. Or Rose, whatever she goes by now." We looked at each other. Now Conner and M'gann was in the room. They wanted me.
"You have three days. You know where to find us." The screen returned to the original channel.
"Were we the only people who got that?" I asked to no one in particular. Slow nods of no filled the room.
"I don't think so."

Kinda short and sucky. And the media is of Slick and Rose. Drew it myself (I suck at faces get over it)
