Zac’s head felt as if someone had dropped an anvil on his head, like what usually happens on old Looney Toons cartoons. Before he could even regain his senses, Zac felt a tight grip around his neck as Kelly held him off the ground. Zac had no idea why Kelly was acting so aggressive, let alone hostile, towards him. Was it being caused by what happened in the hospital, even though it was not what it seemed?

Before he could even further consider this, Kelly hurled Zac against a nearby wall. She immediately followed this several punches aimed at Zac. While Zac did dodge these attacks, he had to exert himself intensely, requiring all his attention. Once Kelly realized that her fists were not cutting it, she immediately pinned Zac against the wall, using her four arms to prevent Zac from using either his own arms or legs to strike back at her.

When Zac finally saw the barb emerged from Kelly’s wasp abdomen, he realized that his nightmare about Kelly that he had five months ago was finally coming true. Zac struggled to break out of Kelly’s grip, but her super-human strength prevented any such actions. Zac wanted to let out a cry for mercy, but no words emerged from his mouth. Sweat poured down his forehead as the sharp barb bobbed back and forth, feigning an attack here and there.

Then everything went black. Zac first thought that he had been knocked out, but he swiftly dispelled that thought when he realized that he could still move. In fact, everything was black because all the electricity within that room had been shut off in some way. In addition to this, Zac had fallen to the ground because for some reason Kelly had lightened her grip. However, Zac wondered one thing: where was she now?

“Zac?” Kelly said in a dazed, yet a non-monotone voice.

“Stay away!”

Nevertheless, Kelly ignored his command and placed herself in his arms, in spite of the fact that she towered over him by several inches. For the next several seconds, she just laid there, until she felt Zac’s arms wrap around her. After this, Kelly finally turned to Zac.

“Zac, I need you to do something for me.” But before Zac could response, Kelly grabbed Zac’s hands and pressed them against her own stomach. “I need you,” she said, pausing because she herself was afraid of what she was going to say, “I need you to withdraw your claws into my stomach.”

Zac was not ready for such a request, stunned that his own girlfriend wanted him to kill her. He ripped his hands away from her grip (which was not tight at all this time) and placed his hands on her shoulders.

“I am not going to murder my own girlfriend. How could I live with myself?”

“And you think it is easy for me? Once these lights come back on, this stupid collar will force me into doing the same thing to you. I don’t want to watch helplessly as my own body murders my boyfriend. Just, please get it over with. Please.” Kelly finally broke out into tears, pressing her face against Zac’s shoulder.

Zac considered what they could do about their predicament, knowing that killing his girlfriend was out of the question. Then an idea hit him. “Maybe we should try to break off the collar?”

“But it has a self-defense mechanism that will cause it to explode or something if someone attempts to remove it. [i]They[/i] made that point quite clear before they placed it on me.”

“But since the power is out...” Zac started to say.

“The failsafe might not work because it could not receive the signal to activate”.

Kelly stepped back from Zac, hoping that the failsafe would only affect her. Placing her four hands on the collar, she prepared to pull off the one device that was standing in the way of both Zac’s and her own safety. Just as she was ripping off the collar, the power was suddenly restored, causing the the collar to reactivate. A surge of electricity flowed from the collar into Kelly’s body. However, she luckily had already begun to toss it out of her hands.

Nevertheless, the electric surge still had enough time to flow through her body, causing Kelly to collapse onto the floor. Zac rushed over to Kelly, although he did not attempt to touch her because he was unsure whether the electric current would still be present, which would put Zac in the same position as Kelly was in at that moment.

“Kelly?”

Kelly started to rouse herself from the electric surge, just like when someone was waking up from a long night sleep. Once she regained her full consciousness, Kelly immediately embraced Zac, who instinctively jumped back. However, once he realized that he was not shocked, Zac accepted Kelly’s four-armed embrace. Tears started to fall from Kelly’s eyes as she embraced her boyfriend. She reached up and kissed Zac.

“Um, guys?” Veronica said out of nowhere, or at least that’s how it seemed to Zac and Kelly, “I know you are having a romantic moment, but I think Aubrey needs some help.

Zac and Kelly looked over towards Veronica. Behind Veronica was an unconscious Aubrey, suspended from some sort of organic string that led into the ceiling. Something was pulling the string, along with Aubrey, toward him or her or itself.

Kelly placed a kiss on Zac’s cheek. Then she started to beat her wasp wings. Once she had lifted herself off the ground and into the air, Kelly turned back towards Zac. “I’ll handle this.”
