(Never go out in a thunder storm if your made of metal).
Hey, I’m back. It’s me, Emma.
Now back to my part of the story.
I did later wake up from whatever had knocked me out. I found myself back in the lab.
‘Wha…what happened?’ Were my first words.
‘You were struck by lightening, human girl.’ Said the Doctor.
‘I what?’
‘Your surface or ’skin’ is made out of metal. Aluminium to be precise. You should know better than to go out in a thunder storm. Plus the rain was damaging you as well.’
‘I needed to look for my friends. I couldn’t let a little rain stop me.’
‘That ‘little rain’ may have damaged you. And the lightening that struck you could have fried your circuits, shut down your system and killed everything inside you that’s alive. Your lucky that your alive this very minute.’
‘For your information, only a third of me is ‘circuits’! The rest is how it should be. It’s really only my outside that’s not normal, Everything inside is like a normal human being. Except for my battery.’
‘For YOUR information, little girl, I am perfectly aware. I X-rayed you to make sure you weren’t damaged on the inside.’
‘I’m not a ‘little girl’! I’m fifteen! And not everything inside me is that normal. Did you notice my heart? It ain’t like a normal human being. Neither are my friends hearts.’
‘I did notice. It’s nothing like the diagram in this book, which I’m afraid is my only real knowledge of human beings. Your heart should be like this.’ He pointed to a picture in the book.
‘That’s what it was like in my world.’
‘It pumps oxygen around the body that’s contained in iron and haemoglobin .’
‘Err, let’s just call it blood, okay book man.’
‘Your heart is like an orb. The X-ray showed that it could be glowing, even.’
‘Well, my heart is different from when I was in my home world. It’s very special.’
I began to whisper.
‘But that’s not all.’
‘Don’t tell Jack this, but who ever finds my heart and puts it back obtains half my power. They can do the abilities that I have given. I don’t want Jack misusing my power and not being able to control it. I’ll tell him about this later, the only reason I’ve told you is ‘cause your smart.’ I explained.
The Doctor wheeled over to me.
‘I understand, Emma. And you’ve actually done the right thing.’
Knock, knock, knock!
There was a bang at the door to the lab.
‘I suspect that’ll be Jack now.’ Said the Doctor, wheeling down the ramp.
I followed him as he came to open the door.
But when the door was open, no one was there.
‘Hmm, strange?’ Said the Doctor.
But then, he looked down to the ground.
‘My invention!!!’
I rushed to the door to see what had happened.
‘It’s ruined!!!’
…
‘Ha, did you see the look on his face. Ha, ha!’ Lock chuckled.
‘Never mind that! Did you hear THAT?’ Said Shock.
‘What?’ Questioned Barrel.
‘The heart, you idiot! The heart of a human being!’ Said Shock.
‘Big deal!’ Said Lock. ‘Who care’s about that?’
‘Don’t you pea brains get it!?!’ Shock shrieked.
‘If you find the heart of one of these human kids, then you get their powers! And the town’s looking for more human kids right this minute!’
‘Hey, your right. And Oogie Boogie IS looking for a new idea. I bet those powers are pretty dangerous.’ Thought Lock.
‘What if we found their hearts first.’ Said Barrel.
‘Barrel, you’ve found a brain!’ Said Shock.
‘It’s perfect!’ Said Lock.
‘Find a kid!’
‘Find their heart.’
‘Bring them both to Oogie Boogie!’
