The Life and Times of Louie Duck - Book 1

Chapter 6 -"Y,You look just like her. But you're not. Are You?" - Garret

"We're not really letting him do this again, on his own. Right?" Lena asked, she looked at Webby with concern.

"Hell no." Webby growled. "I'm taking care of this, once and for all. But first," She grabbed her best friends' hand. "I need you to do something for me."

She pulled Lena towards the massive library with Violet closely behind them. Once she pulled them both in and locked the door she whirled around and started crying her eyes out.

Both Lena and Violet looked at her in alarm then rushed at her with hugs.

"Webby," Lena said softly. "It's going to be okay."

"Yeah," Violet agreed. "Look, at least the kids are safe." She added. "Louie can talk himself out of a situation for the time being, we have plenty of time to figure out a way to get him back." She finished.

She looked over at Lena who stared back gloomily. Even she didn't feel like none of this was going to end well for them.

"Y, Yeah." Webby sniffles, breaking away from them. "Sorry. I didn't intend on brawling my eyes out. I really did need Lena for something." She looked over at Lena, who looked back confused. "I, I need you to do the thing we've been practicing -."

"No." She said, firmly, backing away from her friend. "I, I'm sorry. Pink. But I will not put you in danger by -."

"Please." She begged. "I, I can't save Louie like this. I, I need to -."

"Think about what you're doing," Violet interrupted. "What's the point? Even if you manage to save Louie, it's not worth the cost of -."

"I DON'T CARE!" Webby shouted.

She fell to her knees and buried her face in her hands and started crying again.

"Please." She begged, between sobs. "Please. Help me save him, for good."

Lena and Violet looked at one another.

"It's your call." Violet told her.

Lena sighed deeply, but a hand on Webby's shoulder. Webby looked up at her friend with tears streaming down her face.

"Okay, Pink." She said softly. "For you, I will do this."

Webby gave her a small, watery smile.

Louie made it back to the island without any trouble. This time though, no robots greeted him. Soran must have felt confident he'd come alone.

His heart pounded hard against his chest as he landed the plane and got off. He clinched the microchip even tightly in his hand as he walked along the beach. This time the ocean didn't calm him down, instead, he felt anger build up inside him.

Sure, Luca was just a Humanoid Clone, but he was a part of him, and Soran took that away. She wasn't going to get away with it.

Louie made it up to the castle, he's been here so many times now that he knew where to go. As he made his way inside, he tried remembering what Lena told him about vampires, and how to kill them, and to make sure they stay that way.

"You have to cut off the head, then the arms, legs, and then cut the organ she uses as a heart to stay alive, and only the mate has to do it."

"How, How, am I supposed to do all that on my own?" Louie had asked.

"I'm just the informant." Lena reminded him. "Aren't you supposed to be the sharp one?"

Louie sighed in frustration as he entered the castle.

Why did he even bother asking Lena for anything?

"There he is." Soran's voice floated down to him from the enormous staircase.
