The Other Dunlap Girl

0010. - The Whole Truth

"Cassidy, we found Sam, he's going after Dr. Cardosa," Jordan Li spewed out as he rushed towards the girl. She was sitting in the quad doing homework, trying not to think about Sam and how he completely abandoned her earlier. Her eyes peered up at Jordan, the sun temporarily blinding her as she gave him a frown.

"Jordan, Sam wants nothing to do with me," She sighed as she looked back down at her textbook. She was hoping this would deter Jordan away, but he was pretty persistent on getting her to help.

"Sam is going to kill someone Cass, we need your help," Jordan muttered out, only audible for her to hear. Cassidy looked up and saw the frustration on Jordan's face, she could feel the energy emitting from him. Cassidy rolled her eyes and shoved her belongings into her backpack before reluctantly following Jordan Li.

She followed Jordan Li into Marie's dorm room where everyone seemed to be waiting for them. She stood by her sister's side as the group discussed the course of actions to take. "We just need to move in and take him out," Andre asserted, trying to make himself the leader of the mission. Cassidy rolled her eyes at the boy's eagerness to be in charge.

"Yeah, I personally think that's a terrible idea," Cassidy chimed in as she rested her head on Cate's shoulders. "We need to help him, not scare him away," she continued, which got a nod of approval from Emma and Marie.

"Whatever we decide to do, we need to do it quickly," Emma proclaimed. Cassidy looked outside the window and noticed how the sun was beginning to set.

"Let's just go and get this over with," Marie muttered out as she looked from Andre to Emma before grabbing her things and heading out of the dorm room.

Emma, Cassidy, Marie, Andre, and Cate all waited outside the Cardosa house, waiting to see if any of them could hear anything abnormal. Suddenly a shrill scream of a child filled the air and Cassidy and Marie broke into a sprint towards the house. Everyone else was quickly behind them, Jordan broke the door down and everyone rushed into the house as Dr. Cardosa's husband and daughter fled the scene. Before Cassidy could even think of doing something, Andre threw the refrigerator at Sam temporarily stunning him.

Sam quickly pushed the refrigerator off of him before spinning around and noticing Andre. "Sam. Sam, you don't want to do this," Andre pleaded as he tried to reach out towards Sam. Cassidy began to grow pale as she could feel Sam's emotions, his fear and panic flooded into her body making her nauseous.

It was like a flicker of recognition as Sam looked at Andre, "I know you.. Y-you.. I escaped and you caught me! You're one of them!" Sam yelled out frantically as he pointed his finger at Andre.

"We didn't know who you were then," Marie chimed in, trying to defuse the situation that was growing worse and worse as time crept on.

"Sam, let us help you," Cate cried out. Cassidy stood frozen in fear, all of Sam's emotions were temporarily paralyzing her. She felt as if she couldn't move a muscle in her body.

"No! You are not touching me again Cate, get the fuck out of here!" Sam screamed as he looked over at Cate, he then looked over and saw a trembling Cassidy behind her. Cassidy's eyes grew wide as she noticed Sam's eyes meeting hers.

"Sam, you said I was your hero. Okay? Let me help you," Emma said calmly, trying to soothe the boy who was clearly manic. Sam winced out as his boy also began trembling into itself as Emma moved closer.

"No! They're not!" Sam screamed out as he began pointing violently at his head. Andre muttered something which caused Sam to focus all his attention on him. "What the fuck did you just say?" Sam asked, something in his voice shifted. What was once manic became eerily calm. Before anyone could even register what happened, Sam punched Andre down before kicking him repeatedly. Cassidy went to run towards Sam but Jordan Li was quick to grab her and hold her back. She kept trying to get out of his grip, but Jordan was too strong.

"Please, I need to help him!" Cassidy yelled out as she witnessed a rope like material made of blood wrap around Sam's neck. She gasped out as Sam grabbed it and used it to throw Marie around the kitchen. Before Sam could even lay a finger on Marie, Jordan was right in front of her to protect her. Jordan took blow after blow in his masculine form, preserving all of that energy.

Cassidy and Cate watched in horror, not knowing what to do in this situation. Cassidy knew if she got close enough to touch him then she could help. But she also knew she would sooner be dead than be even close enough to touch him.

Jordan Li switched into their feminine form and blasted Sam out of the house with the preserved energy. Suddenly a giant naked Emma walked out of the house and forced Sam onto the ground. Cassidy grabbed onto her sister's hand in comfort as the two made their way out of the house.

Suddenly everything went fuzzy and black as Cassidy could feel her body hit the floor. The last thing she remembered was holding onto her sister for support.
