Dark parallel trap

Chapter 26

The noise that Owen was hearing now was the sound of the school bells as the two brothers disappeared out of sight. They saw the room change all around them. Frank was still laughing insanely. Owen and Carter found themselves to be transported into Owen's room. The gym floor became the floor of Owen's bedroom. The two brothers were now safe. Carter breathed a sigh of relief. Carter looked at Owen than at himself. They were no longer wearing their pajamas. They were wearing each a clean T-shirt, and a fresh pair of pants on. He was happy to be back home to. Owen thought about Frank. How angry he must have been from being nearly eaten by alligators. How Frank wanted to figure out who made him look like a bully. "Owen, are you there?" Carter pumped as he pulled on his arm. Owen looked at Carter. "Oh, right. Sorry Carter. I just can't understand why Frank would use me in a plan to get even with the school. He didn't want to do that before. That's why I looked at him at the gym. I was trying to figure out why he would betray his own school." He explained while he looked at the door. "Um, shouldn't you be hiding this?" Carter said holding the joystick like device up to show Owen. Owen was quick to snatch the joystick.

"Be careful Carter, this isn't a toy. It's a powerful piece of technology. Do you want to get stuck on that other school again?" Owen questioned as he went to the closet. The invisibility devices were taken off too and handed over to Owen. Before, he was able to that, the door to the bedroom opened. Owen hid the devices behind his back as the door to his room opened. The mother opened the door. "Hi boys, your sister has made some nice lunch for you! You're lucky that she has the time to prepare it. School's out today." From the kitchen, Francine shouted how there isn't any school today. She sounded pretty proud. The mother walked down the hallway to join Francine as she started to prepare the dinner table for lunch. The two brothers stood staring at the door. "Go ahead Carter, I'll be right there." Owen spoke as he had the device hidden from view of the open doorway behind his back. Carter left Owen alone in his room. Carter than went to the closet where his backpack was stored. He saw that it was open. The gizmos from the other world were all still stored inside the bag. Owen put the joystick like device and invisibility gadgets in the bag with the other gadgets. He zipped up the bag and closed the closet. Owen than went to join his family for lunch. It was a quiet time for Owen to be eating the nice sandwiches that his sister made. "Did you enjoy breakfast?" The mother asked. "I did." Owen answered. The family went for a walk after lunch. All seemed well. Owen didn't hear any strange noises behind them. "I can't believe that the power at Owen's school has gone out. Still, I think they might be doing some repairs to the school. After all that seems important." The father commented during the walk. "Are you sure? I would think that they would make repairs on the building during the summer time." The mother said not believing the father.

The family talked about what are happening to the schools in the city. The power has coincidently gone out in every school in the city. Owen didn't think it had anything to do with what happened in the parallel school. When Owen got home, he went to his room. He closed the door to his room to see if the piece of technology was still there. He was shocked to open the closet door and to find an empty backpack. It was light as it can be. Owen found out that every piece of technology that was inside was gone. The only thing that was inside the bag was a note. Owen took the note from the bag and sat down on the edge of his bed to read it. It said "Dear Owen, you've been a great help. You won't be hearing from your double or me again. The school principal has fired the maintenance man for allegedly helping me. The computer virus I installed while you watched over the maintenance man while he was knocked out did more damage to the school than I would hoped. The fire alarms, light bulbs, and internet connection have been wrecked due to the virus I planted. I do have to explain this one thing to you. I did have a computer key, and I was planning to sabotage your twin's computer so that he wouldn't use it on the technology he has stolen. Then when I found out he was the one who framed me. I had to change plans. So not only I'm getting back at him for framing me, but I'm also getting payback at the school for throwing me into a pool of alligators. I've taken all the technology I have given you. That way you wouldn't accidentally come back to my dimension. I hope you have a great time playing sports. Do well at school! From: Frank." Everything was normal for the next few days. The school found a camera drone on their property. They didn't know how it got there. Owen recognized the drone. It was one of the drones sent to spy on him and his digital clone. He didn't say anything about the small robot. Afterwards, the Frank who was suspended at his school had come back. He went to put his backpack in his locker. It was the start of the morning. He had all of his stuff neatly put away in the locker. He had his binder all ready for first class of the day for him. "Excuse me Frank?" A teacher called in the hallway. "Yes?" Frank asked. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" The teacher queried. Frank took his binder with him and closed his locker. He followed the teacher into the nearest stairwell. The teacher oddly looked around the stairwell and took off his mask. Frank was surprised that the person pretending to be the teacher had a human like face. His double stared at him in the face. Frank was stunned and didn't know what to say. "Who are you?" He queried with one of his hands trembling. "I have great plans for you." Frank's twin said as he held onto one of his arms. He held onto the arm with a dense grip. With the free left hand, Frank pulled out a joystick like device from his pocket. He had his thumb on the trigger. "Prepare to be serving your master." Frank's doppelganger said as he turned on the joystick like device. The sound of the school bells can be heard. Frank had to shout for help.
