Chapter 17
I stepped closer. Only a step. Then another. Another. I stopped once I reached Jamie. All eyes on us.
"Good," she whispered and patted my head. I swallowed a growl. She snatched her knife out of her hand and twirled it around her hand.
"Candy!" Raja rasped. I glanced back, hoping my plan would work. Out of the corner of my eye, Jamie smirked and swung her knife at my neck. I ducked, smoothly dodging it. Her eyes flared with anger.
"Come on, Jamie!" I taunted. She threw her knife at me, poorly aimed, and I caught the handle with my mouth. I glanced over at Sam. She got the idea.
I threw the knife over to Sam. She caught it midair. Jamie put the potion back in her backpack, slung it onto her back, and lunged for Sam. Sam dodged and Jamie fell to the floor. I pounced on her back and opened the backpack.
Man there was a lot of stuff in there. Chocolate, water, roses, the healing potion. The healing potion! I cradled it in my mouth and dashed over to Raja. He was minutes away from death. Probably even seconds.
I tilted the bottle over his wound and a waterfall of green liquid hit is wound. Raja screamed at first, but then relaxed. It was probably soothing telling by his face.
"Good job, Candy," Todd whispered and patted my back. "But your not done!" At first I was confused, but I looked back and realized Sam and Jamie were in a serious fight. Man, when can these fights stop?!
I raced over to Jamie and stopped at her left leg. She was kicking the right one and that would be hard to catch.
"Say your prayers, Jamie," I meowed. I've seen a lot of people say it in movies. I should've gone with 'any last words' but people say that TOO much.
I balanced my paws on her thigh and quickly bit her. Like a cobra without venom.
She screamed and grabbed her leg as she fell backwards. Sam looked relieved.
"OOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!" She howled. Man, I can't believe this all happened in Todd's house. I mean, what if his mum comes home?! He'll have a lot of cleaning AND explaining to do...
Sam, knife gripped in her hand, leaned over Jamie. She held the knife to Jamie's heart. Man, we're violent!!
"Any last words, Jamie?" Sam hissed. There it is, see? I told you.
"Yes!" She choked. "Call the cops and I'll never bother you again!" My eyes were popping out of my skull.
"You wanted to be arrested?!" I yelled.
"Yup," she answered casually. Sam looked as baffled as I was.
"Okay!" I padded over to the phone and picked it up. 'Crazy psychopath,' I thought as I dialed 911.
