Cherry and the Twitches

chapter 14

They decided to ride in Camryn's car, but little did they know, the Darkness was spreading through.

"So where are we going to eat?" Patch asked.

"Maybe a quick drive in?" Camryn suggested. "The others are too busy in the kitchen for us to get some snacks."

"Okay." Patch smiled.

Cherry groaned a little and looked very sick. "I feel starving right now..."

"Don't worry, I know a place not too far from here." Alex promised.

They then drove off, unaware that the Darkness was starting to conquer Camryn's house in the kitchen, alarming everyone in there.

"This is why I'm tough on you!" Drell pointed to his crystall ball on the action to Penelope. "This is why I'm tough on you! THIS! IS! WHY! I'M TOUGH ON YOU!"

"Yes, sir..." Penelope gulped.

"Good, we're glad you understand." Skippy smiled.

"I'm sorry..." Penelope said, then looked back up. "Can I have my powers--"

"No." Drell and Skippy told her.

Penelope growled to them.

"Keep that up and you won't have your powers for 100 years." Drell threatened.

"Yeah." Skippy nodded.

"I'll be good..." Penelope promised. "Can I at least--"

"No." Skippy said to her.

"WILL YOU STOP--"

"No."

Penelope growled and stormed off. "I miss the old Uncle Skippy!"

"He might not ever come back." Drell said.

Penelope wailed then.

Skippy frowned. "Drell, maybe I'm a little too hard on her now..."

Drell firmly looked at him.

"Or not..." Skippy pouted, looking like a lost little puppy dog.

"Come on, let's go and check of how everything is going." Drell said.

Skippy puffed air from his cheeks and nodded as they continued to watch.

Alex and Camryn drove past Alex's house and they went in. Alex's family was not home either and they decided to go inside and explore.

"Wow." Atticus said.

"This is your house?" Camryn nearly felt insulted.

"Uh-huh." Alex replied obviously.

"This is your bathroom!?" Camryn then called.

"You're right," Alex forced a smile. "That really is annoying!"

"Sorry, it's just, I guess we really lived different lives." Camryn said to her twin.

"In a way, yes, yes, you both do." Atticus nodded.

"Ya think?" Alex deadpanned. "But you can ease back on the guilt meter."

"Yeah." Patch said.

Alex then sat down and organized some things.

"So, how does it feel to have a twin sister?" Mo asked Alex and Camryn. "I recently found out my puppy Angel has one named Magenta that was kidnapped by a crazy doctor named Applecheek with a bunch of other locked up animals until Tom and Jerry helped free them."

"Yeah, the guy was evil and acted all nice and kind." Patch added.

"Was he really that bad?" Atticus asked.
