Camilas POV

I stared at the guitar in front of me, desperate for a distraction from the growing pain in my neck. It had been exactly three days since the black splotch had first appeared, it had only worsened since. Now, the black mark ran down to my right elbow. I had been wearing clothes that completely covered the side of my neck and upper arm.

I worried for the mark, would it be permanent?

Luckily, today had been the least painful day since I got the dumb mark. Henry had stayed by my side everyday, clearly anxious about something happening to me. He was currently somewhere with Ray right now, fighting some bad guy.

"Hey brother" a voice comes from the doorway. I look to see Tomas already making his way into the room.

"Hey sis" I smile, gesturing for him to sit next to me. He makes his way through the mess on my floor, to my bed and places himself down, pulling out his phone from his pocket.

"Hey pass me a pillow" he says.

I nod to him and stretch as far as I could to grab one of the pillows at the other end of the bed. I could feel my shirt fall slightly at the top as I stretched. My arm rushed to cover the mark, but it was too late as Tomas was already looking at it.

"What's that on your neck?" He questioned, moving closer to inspect it. I could feel my heart rate increase.

"Uh nothing" I quickly covered the mask, hiding it from his vision.

"No lemme see" he persisted, moving closer.

"Tomas it's nothing!" I snapped, causing Tomas to slightly flinch. I didn't mean to yell, I think a mixture of the pain of my neck and the panic of Tomas seeing it kind of got to me, "I'm sorry I didn't mean that" I apologised.

He nodded, "it's okay" he said, leaning back in the bed with a slightly worried face.

I took a breath and placed my guitar on the floor on front of me. My back hit the mattress as I laid down next to Tomas.

A few moments later, the sound of my window opening startled us. We both shoot up to see a soaking wet Henry panting as he entered my room, "cammy you will never believe the day I have had!" He yelled.

Only one thing was different about him.

"Kid Danger?" Tomas questioned, narrowing his eyes at Kid Danger.

"Yeah hey Tom- RANDOM BOY! What am I doing here? This isn't my house!" I watched as Henry begun panicking, the fear in his eyes noticeable.

My own panic begun building up, I stared intensely at the frantic boy in front of my bed, "Kid Danger what are you doing here?" I try to play it off. My gaze intensifies on Henry and I could feel my head beginning to hurt.

"Oh you know! This old brain of mine is no use!" He rambles, heading for the window. But before he steps out, there's a sharp light blinding my vision. Before my mind processes anything going on, Henry is being thrown across my room and into my Billie Eilish poster, causing a hole in the paper.

Tomas's yelling brings me out of my thoughts, "Henry?!" He screamed.

I look to Henry to see his mask had been torn off of his face. Whatever threw him, must've been powerful enough to rip off his mask in the process.

"¡¿Qué diablos está pasando?!" Tomas yelled.

Henry quickly covered his face, "I'm not Henry! Don't look at me" he shrieked, scrambling to his feet to leave.

"Get back here! I know you're Henry!" Tomas yelled, chasing after the boy and grabbing his forearm, "oh my god! My sister's best friend is Kid Danger!" He beamed, his face now full of excitement.

I stood in shock. Everything around me was happening so quickly. How did Henry fly across the room? How did his mask come off? Why did he come inside in his uniform? So many questioned. My head begun spinning, my vision becoming fuzzy and my body went cold, and seconds later everything went black.

Henry's pov

I have no idea what just happened. One second I was leaving Camilla's window, and the next I was at the opposite side of her room on the floor. Now, I was trying to convince Tomas that I'm not Kid Danger.

"It's just a Halloween costume!" I pleaded.

"Halloween was last month!" Tomas argued.

Thud.

I turn to see Camila slouching at the side of her bed, her eyes half closed and her mouth slung open, her head resting on her side table.

"Cammy!" I rush over to her and lift her head from the table to check for any blood. None. Phew.

"What happened?" Tomas asked, rushing over to us.

"I don't know!" I replied, "pull her legs down so she's not slouched at the headboard"

Tomas did as I asked and pulled her down, now there was no chance of her falling back onto the side table.

"What do we do?" Tomas questioned, looking worried at his sister's state.

"I don't know, has she ate?" I question.

"I dunno I just got home from hockey practice" Tomas answered.

Suddenly a sharp breath from Camila took us out of the conversation. Her body jolted up so that her head was now eye level with mine, "What happened- oh my god my head" she complained, lifting her hand to her head.

Suddenly, one of Camilas journals begun floating at the other side of the room.

"What the-"
"How the fuck..."

We all stared at the floating book until it came flying at us, causing us all to duck our heads away from it. I turn to look to Camila to see her already with a look of shock plastered on her face.

"This shits weirder than the time Camila choked on a duck toy.." Tomas mumbled, staring at the journal behind Camila.
