Trollhunters: Never Alone

Angor Management Part I

Jim, Draal, and I guarded the house all night, but there was no sign of Angor Rot. It wasn't any surprise that Angor would go after Strickler, but I was more worried about my mother. Strickler and my mom are bound together, so if Angor killed Strickler than he would kill my mother too. We had moved Strickler in Mom and I's office which was connected to the kitchen. When the sun was rising, I decided to do grade some papers. Since Strickler was in the office, I had to take them upstairs to my room.

After about an hour, I returned to see Strickler in the kitchen eating some cereal and Draal complaining about Strickler being here. Draal said, "Why trust this changeling when all he does is betray you"

"Because... Because unfortunately, I have to. Is this all the canned food we have?" Jim questioned.

"Well, we've all been a bit too busy to buy anymore." I said.

"You need more? Mm. We should chop him into little pieces and can him right now." Draal stated.

"Did you forget the binding spell? If we hurt him, we hurt our mother." Jim gesturing between myself and himself. Too make things worse, Strickler flicked a piece of cereal that landed on Draal and Draal would've punched him, but held himself back. He turned towards us and said, "Say you do get him out of town. What's stopping Angor Rot from finding him?"

"He has a point, Jim. We won't be able to protect him from Angor Rot if we come back to Arcadia and if Angor finds him..." I trailed off letting the others figure it out for themselves.

"I don't know. We disguise him." Jim said.

"Disguise? Angor is a cunning and ruthless assassin. You think he'll be fooled by a hat and mustache?" Draal questioned as Jim was grabbing stuff out of the fridge.

"He has a point, Jim." I said.

"Then, I guess we fight him. Far, far away from here." Jim said.

"I do not like this plan. He could strike at any place He would have the tactical advantage." Draal said.

"Jim, I want to protect our mother as much as you do, but we have to think this through. We could be putting mom in a lot more danger if we make some mistake either it by having Strickler staying here or getting him out of town." I reasoned.

"I don't know, okay? I don't have all the answers! Sorry, I know it's not a well thought out plan, but we have to leave." Jim exclaimed. Then, his phone started ringing, he said, "Shh. It's mom." He answered while yawning, "Hey, Mom. Uh, how are you? I just got up... Yeah, I think Monica's still here. MO!"

"Yeah, Jim?" I called back keeping up the charade.

"See, she's here too. Just talking to Mom, Mo!" Jim said.

While Jim was talking to Mom, Strickler said, "Nice arm. Did you get that at the toy store?"

Draal growled and would've hit him, but I stood between those two glaring at them both and whispered angrily, "Enough you two. Quit acting like children." Mostly giving the glare towards Strickler.

"You're gonna be gone all weekend? Oh, sucks, Mom." Jim informed us. I caught on to what he was trying to tell us. This could give us a huge advantage. Then, Jim said, "Sure. Sure, I could hold down the fort... I'll add it to my resume. Mo, Mom's going to be gone all weekend!"

I walked to the other side of the room and called, "Okay! Tell mom I love her!"

"She loves you too, Mo! Okay. Bye, Mom. Yeah, yeah. I love you too." Jim said then, hung up.

"She'll be out of the house all weekend?" Strickler questioned.

"Yeah. The house will be empty." Jim said and I smiled knowing what the two were thinking.

"Fine. I have rocks for brains. Would someone tell me what's so obvious?" Draal questioned.

"We are gonna hold down the fort." I explained.

"We survived one night. He's not going to survive the next." Strickler finished.

"Right. We fight here. Take back the tactical advantage. An ambush! Yes, I like it." Draal approved. Jim finished putting stuff away and turned towards us saying, "But, we're going to need supplies."
