Yep, another chapter done. I'm surprised I could actually get started on a fourth chapter after almost 4 hours of walking through Sea World xD That took a lot from me, I'll tell you!!!
I had a lot of fun. Other than the fact that I was in sweltering heat all day, it was great! I saw three shows and the last part of another one. I'm going again today to do a lot of the stuff we didn't do ^-^
Today, we're doing the water stuff! It'll be soooo much fun!!! ......But my sister has to go to work today, so that sucks >.<
Okay, well, I'll stop babbling now ^.^" Here's the third chapter!
------------------------------>
[Kitty's POV]
A dream? This is a dream...
"Oh, Kitty! That's amazing!"
"You think so? I thought it was kind of dorky..."
"Well, you like sort of weird things, so you're eventually going to start making weird things."
"But I thought you said you liked it!" she snivels.
"Oh! I do!!! It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen! I just hope you can make even better things in the future."
"You mean, you think I'm going to be doing this sort of thing all my life?"
Why is this coming back to me...? I thought that memory was long-gone! I was only ten at the time...
"Quite possibly. You really do love this sort of thing, and you love making them too!" her mother's slightly younger face beamed with happiness at a much-younger Kitty.
"...Yeah, you're right! I'm going to find a way to make my own tiny world with lots of tiny people! Then I can rule over them, and you can play too!"
"Thank you. That's very sweet of you! I don't know about the tiny part, but that's about..." the voice faded away as did the memory.
She said something that I thought was strange then... But I can't remember! ....That's about.....
"But that is about right."
Ah!
[end POV]
Her eyes immediately opened and closed, the bright light from the window overwhelming her eyes.
"Ooh.... That hurt...."
"I usually turn away from the light before I open my eyes, but that might just be me."
She knew she heard that voice before. It wasn't the younger man's that she had heard the night before, but the other one that was conversing with the younger man.
"...Who are you?" she sat up slowly and put the lower half of her right arm over her eyes, trying to get rid of as much sunlight as possible.
"I....That is of no concern to you as of this point. Although, you do have a way of finding out what you want. Rey already gave you Terry's name and vice versa." the man chuckled as she flopped back down on the bed with a sigh.
After a second or two, she sat immediately upright and bounced out of the bed to stand up. As soon as she did so, she felt weak and almost fell to the floor. She bent over and leaned on the bed for support.
"I'm not going to attack you. You don't have to wear yourself out for no reason." he eventually saw that she wouldn't budge. "You can at least sit down."
He motioned for her to sit on the bed as he walked to a chair that had apparently been earlier placed in the center of the room.
She hadn't had time to notice that before.
"What....do you want with me?"
"I don't want anything with you. Terrence did. That's the only reason I'm saving your life." he looked out the window for a moment in wonder, then scooted his chair closer to her bed.
His voice echoed out suddenly as he continued. "It's very surprising to think that someone like yourself could inherit such power..." He then jumped out of his chair toward her and, in an instant, snapped off the necklace she wore around her neck.
"Owch! Hey!!!"
"I'm surprised that all you did was stop time. You're also lucky Terrence found you. If he hadn't, time would have stayed still and your parent’s blood would have gone cold in their bodies. Very fascinating..." he fingered the pendant that hung from the necklace.
She shot an accusing glare at him. "I didn't do anything! You stopped time so you could kidnap me and get whatever's on my necklace!"
[Kitty's POV]
I can't believe I just said that! "He stopped time"?! Gosh, I'm so stupid!
[end POV]
He chuckled for a moment and stared at the pendant on her necklace. It was rather large for the necklace, but it was surprisingly almost weightless. In the middle stood a grey sphere, larger than the size of a golf ball. The sphere was surrounded by an intricately designed silvery frame.
For a minute, he brushed the orb several times making it roll on its frame. The sphere eventually made a clicking noise and in that second popped off, leaving the silver frame in one hand and the grey sphere in the other.
"That was it? No special charms or anything to keep it safe?!" he shook his head in disapproval and handed her the necklace only decorated with the silver frame. Since the frame only went around three fourths of a circle around, it still didn't look too bad.
"Hey, that's my necklace!"
"No, that's your necklace. This..." he rolled it around a second in his hand before grasping it. "This is your mother's sphere."
He paused for a moment then looked at her again. "Your mother inherited this priceless gift. At the age of fifteen, she knew she needed to protect this orb with all she had. You, on the other hand...."
"No, I ain't buying this crap! Your son already tried to sell it to me, but I still don't want it!" she flung her blanket over him, but then paused as nothing happened. The blanket stopped where her hand had left it. All movement had ceased.
She felt her body start to freeze, the air chilling. It was getting harder to breathe at this point. She slowly brought her hands up to either arm and tried to warm herself up, but it was futile.
"Let's see what this power has done to you." his voice had a hint of cruelty as his cold, hard eyes watched her every movement, slow or not.
Kitty soon saw that this was some sort of test.
[Kitty's POV]
No kidding?! This is crap! What's he trying to prove?!
[end POV]
She soon made up her mind that she was going to do something. Stopping her arm movements, she tried to muster up her strength to move off the bed. Throwing her legs off the bed in one sudden movement, she lost half the energy she had.
He smugly watched her trying to stand up; but there was something else she was doing that was abnormal. She held her arm out, letting her fingers spread out as far apart as she could. Her eyes flickered white for a second as did the sphere, and the sphere was transported to the palm of her hand.
All movement that was still there, even hers, ceased for a moment. She then closed her hand around the sphere and locked it into place in her necklace. Bright light shattered the bitter cold that still hung in the air as movement immediately came back into place.
Startled, the man watched as the blanket immediately covered him up as it should have done a few moments ago. Kitty's palm glowed red-hot; she tried to make it stop burning with her colder other hand. In a moment, she was, yet again, in an unconscious state...
"She did what?!"
Terrence immediately sprang into action and ran to Kitty's room where she still lay unconscious. He slowly, cautiously walked in, trying his best to not disturb her.
"Wow..." he stated as he saw her hand wrapped around the pendant.
The pendant was visible. The thing that wasn't was the center of her hand that still had its grasp on the sphere. As he let out an almost relieved sigh, he walked toward the bed and laid his hand on top of the half-invisible hand.
"It's still there! That's amazing..." he then let his hand wrap itself a little more around her hand.
He soon found out that her reflexes were a lot faster than his was as her free hand knocked him clear across the room and she sat up.
"I didn't do it!!!" she paused, then noticed his crumpled form lying on the floor.
Intent on remembering what was going on, she decided to do nothing about Terry until she remembered.
[Kitty's POV]
I wonder what happened.... I remember that ugly old man trying to steal my pendant, then...!
[end POV]
She gasped, realizing what she had done.
[Kitty's POV]
I must've done something to Terry too! But how?! He wasn't even in this room, the last time I remember!!!!
[end POV]
She the looked down in remorse at his still figure at the other side of the room. Feeling deep regret flowing down her body like electricity to its load with her load being the pit of her stomach, she stood up and walked over to him.
"Oh, Terry, I'm so sorry!" she tried to control herself from sobbing.
She slowly laid a hand on his shoulder, then stroked him down to his side. At that point, she stopped, then retracted her arm swiftly. Putting her hand back on his side, she felt his body move.
"Ah!" she moved away for a moment, knowing that a dead person doesn't breathe. "He's still alive!"
She then flung herself on top of him hugging him. His eyes slowly flicked open, then closed.
[Terry's POV]
Great. I'm dead. All because she just had to.... Wait, I can't be dead! That's the same darned plant I had to drag in here yesterday!
[end POV]
He immediately bounced upward, knocking her away. After falling backwards, she grasped the back of her head that now had a good-sized bump on it.
"OWCH! Gosh, what'd you do THAT for?!"
Instead of rushing out the door like he was originally planning to do, he stopped and stared at her.
"....Wait, what were you doing?" while saying this, his face made a soft blush.
Her face was now in what some would call a "fire-engine red" blush. She raised her arm in front of her face, trying to hide her increasingly hot face.
"I-I wasn't d-doing anything at all!!!!"
They both stayed in the same position for a time, knowing exactly what the other thought was happening. They would have assumed that position for a much longer time, had it not been for the old man walking in at that point.
"What's going on here?" he asked simply.
"Well, you see, I didn't know-" she started.
"I was just coming in to check on her when-" Terry spoke at the same time.
They both stopped abruptly. They now knew the whole story.
"Oh...." Kitty and Terrence said no more. It was now quite well understood what went on.
"I see. Well, thank you for your overly specific summary of this event." after saying the most sarcastic thing that came to mind, he left the room, leaving them both to stay there as he shut the door.
Silence continued as they tried to find some way to start a conversation that wasn't about what just happened.
Kitty straightened herself out during that time and eventually sat on the bed out of boredom.
Terry was constantly rearranging the plants, since it was something to do.
More silence eked its way into their non-existing conversation as Terry could do no more rearranging and stood by the window and Kitty lay on the bed outstretched.
"All right. Fine." Terry startled Kitty since it was so quiet before that. Even the birds wouldn't chirp or sing.
He turned around and faced her, making it so he would now have to talk to her.
"It's really starting to get boring." he then glanced out the window, since her constant stare was starting to make him blush again.
"You wanna do something? I mean..." his words came out quite disjointed after that. "Since it is, pretty much... I guess... It's your... Um, well..."
She stared at him, almost getting confused by his incoherent speech pattern.
"I heard your birthday's today." he rushed out the words so they would actually come out.
"Oh. Yeah, I guess."
That ruined it. Any conversation they might have had was now tossed in the garbage thanks to those words. The conversation now ruined, Terrence turned around and gazed out the window, trying not to be hurt by her bluntness.
[Kitty's POV]
What? What'd I do? I just tried to make it sound like it wasn't a big deal, and now he hates me?!
[end POV]
She then sat up, now facing the opposite side of the room. Her face was turning hot now, thinking that he could've started a better conversation.
As the silence continued and the minutes dragged by, nothing was said to win against the over-prevailing silence.

Oh, I was about to post this before I left xD
Well, I went there. Yes, there was water. I even went into this giant pool they had ^-^ It was great! Not to mention they had these waves that would come in like an ocean or something.
That's where the FUN came in!!! My brother and I were in the four foot deep section when the rapids turned on, so for the next couple minutes we were tossed around in the largest waves there.
But that wasn't the best part!!!! ^///^ This one really, REALLY hot guy ran into me! >.> I hate acting so girly, but he was...... ^.^!!! He tried to apologize when the next wave came down xD I about crushed him because I wasn't expecting it, lol!!
Okay, my moment of too-girliness-for-my-own-good is over. Heheh....
