I think I would have fainted if my whole body and brain cells hadn't gone into complete shock.

Then she appeared on the other side of my room, sheepishly smiling at me.

She was a witch! Oh my god, a witch is in my room. What about the others? Oh, stupid JJ, of course... Of course, they're all witches! I'm going to die at the hands of witches...

"JJ listen, we are not witches, and you're not going to die," Meg said looking at me. "And we are not psychos."

'Woah!'

"D-D-Did you, j-just read my mind?" I stammered out. 

"I think I am going mad..." I exclaimed.

"Please calm down!"

"'Calm down'? You're telling me to calm down? Oh my god, she said 'calm down',  this is insane! The 'psychos' are real psychos."

Then I heard a knock on my door.

As I opened it, I saw Clara.

"Hey, what's going on? I heard you shouting," she said, looking at me.

"Oh my God, thank God you are here Clara, you need to call the cops! They are here again.  The kidnappers!" I said frantically.
I hoped she would be fast enough, these psychos couldn't do any harm if they knew the cops were coming.

"Who?"

"Them," I pointed to the psychos.

"Huh?" She looked around my room and back at me. "JJ are you okay?"

"What! You can't see them?"

"Okay... I'm just going to go back to bed. Please keep it down," she said, heading back to her room.

After she left, I slowly closed the door and sat on the floor. I don't know how it started, but I somehow was crying. I cried and cried.

She didn't see them. I'm officially a freak, I kept crying till my eyes ran dry. When I was done, I stood up and turned around, only to see the psychos looking at me with guilt in their eyes.

"Please, leave my room," I said, with a strained voice. I just wanted to curl up on my bed and cry without having an audience.

What's worse is that I had no one to share what I was feeling with. I try hard whenever I was in a similar type of situation to not think of my mom, but I couldn't help it. I wished I had someone to tell me I wasn't a lunatic, I wished for a shoulder to cry on. My relationships with people just don't go that deep.

After they disappeared from my room, I laid down on my bed, thinking that I was stronger than this. I lived all my life, mostly alone, so I didn't know why this was affecting me that much.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't know when I fell asleep, but waking up this morning, I made a promise to myself.

I was going to find out everything from those psychos, I am not going to sit back again, oh no-no. They will tell me everything I asked. And I mean everything,  they need my help anyway, and I need answers.

I'm ready, I wasn't even going to school today, seeing that I had just an elective. I was going to catch up later.

With that in mind, I sat still.

Now for the first and most important part- how was I going to get them here in the first place?

Just then I remembered  Jody said something like I called them here the last time. So that's what I'll do, call them.

Sitting crossed leg on my bed Yoga style, palms on each leg and eyes closed I started chanting, "Psychos, psychos, psychos."

What was their real name in the first place? I'm pretty sure they won't answer to the name psychos? Um, I remember smiling psycho as Jody, angry psycho as Wulf something... or is it something Wulf? Ah, wait, it's Baawulf, yeah, I think I got it! It's Baawulf. I think the weapon psycho's name was Meghan or Megran. Probably Megran.

So I sat with eyes closed and started shouting, "Jody!! BaaWulf!! Megran!! Jody!! Baawulf!! Megran!! Jody!!  Baawulf!! Megran!!"

"What in the love of heaven are you doing?" Someone shouted.

Opening my eyes wide, it was met with three sets of familiar purple eyes.

"Oh, I can't believe it worked! Wow, you came!"

"Oh, no no no, we came alright, but it's not because of your Buddha nonsense or whatever you did. And for your information, my name is not Baawulf or whatever you said, it's Beowulf, you get? B-E-O-W- U-L-F."

"Oh," I smiled sheepishly.

"And my name is Megryan, not Megran!"

"Oh JJ, you got my name right! I am so proud of you," Jody giggled.

I stood up from my bed and stretched knocking off a little flower pot from my side table.
I quickly grabbed it just as it was about to hit the floor.
"That was close."

Looking up once again, the psycho's stared at me in shock.

" How did you get to the pot that fast," Jody asked

"Oh, that? I have quick fingers, you know, when you have quick reflex on just your fingers. It's a normal thing I've had ever since I  remember. I don't even control it most times.

"Alright, now to business. Tell me everything," I said, looking directly at them.

Jody looked at me with surprise, Wulf raised a brow in my direction, while Meg just stared ahead.

Why were they looking at me like that, did I speak in Judah? I'm pretty sure I spoke in English.

But they all just kept staring, until finally, Meg spoke.

"Are you sure JJ, because once you step into this boat there is no turning back?" She looked straight at me.

"Are you seriously asking me this? You know, if I change my mind, it's your loss, right? I won't be able to help you then."

She looked at me for some time again before saying, "Yeah, that makes sense. Where do we start?"

"How about where you kidnapped me?"
