Chapter 5: Jack's ghostly side awakens and an awful truth is realized.
Soon the Grundel and I were in an abandoned warehouse downtown far from the fire house. "We are home sweetheart." The Grundel said with a smile as he tapped my shoulder lightly to wake me up.
I yawned and stretched her arms wide. "Is it time to get up?"
"No princess, I just needed to put you down. You can go back to sleep now we are home safe and sound." The Grundel replied.
"Gwundel?"
"Yes Princess?"
"Who was dos bad people who twied to huwy you?"
"They are called the Ghostbusters. They want to hurt me because I'm different then them." The Grundel replied.
"Me won't let dem huwt you."
"Thank you Princess, that means a lot." The Grundel replied with a smile. "Now why don't you try and get some sleep. We have a long night ahead of us tonight." The Grundel replied as he found an mattress for me to lay down on. I laid down but looked up at the Grundel my face full of worry.
"What if the bad people find us while we is
sweeping? What if they twy to take me away fwom you?" I replied hugging the Grundel tightly.
"Don't worry Princess, I won't let that happen. Now lay down and try to get some sleep. A few minutes later, I was fast asleep. However, an hour later I woke up screaming. The Grundel rushed to my side. "Princess what's the matter?"
"Me had a scawy dweam. The bad people came and they took you away fwom me. Then they made me libe with them and become like them hunting and huwting ghosts. It seemed so weal. It was tewwble." I replied tears starting to stream down her face.
"Shhh. It was only a dream." The Grundel replied yet deep down inside he knew it was only a matter of time before the Ghostbusters came for him. He had to act fast if I was to become his daughter for eternity. This was going to be a difficult task as he had never attempted something like this before. All the children he lured outside to play became Grundel's. He had never taken a child without turning them into a Grundel like himself. How was he going to keep his deal with me?
Meanwhile, back at the ghostbusters headquarters aka the firehouse Kylie was pacing back and forth and Slimer was following her floating back and forth along side her seemingly as upset as she was. "We've got to find them! We've got to bring her home!"
"We will Kylie. We just have to calculate..." Egon replied but Kylie interrupted him which was unusual for her since she highly respected him.
"No Egon. No tests, no calculations we have to find them and bring Catherine home now!" Kylie replied frustratedly. "Jack what are you doing sitting around on your butt when our daughter was just kidnapped by my childhood nemesis? Don't you care about what happens to her? Don't you care about our daughter at all?" Kylie demanded.
Jack who had been sitting in a chair with his eyes closed remained silent. Suddenly looked up and at her. However, the eyes that glared back at her were not of her husband Jack, but seemed somewhat ghostly. They were a bright greenish that flashed blood red as he became angry. "Of course I care!" He boomed his voice dark and sinister almost matching that of the Grundel's in tone.
"Jack what's the matter with you? Your scaring me." Kylie replied backing away from him.
As suddenly,just quickly as his ghostly almost demonic eyes had appeared they disappeared and his eyes became their normal beautiful sky blue. "I'm sorry honey, I don't know what came over me." Jack replied sadly.
"Perhaps we should conduct a series of tests to determine what the caused your transformation." Egon replied. To which Jack's eyes and voice changed once more.
"We don't have time for the your stupid tested Spangler! Our daughter is out there alone and defenseless, with a monster and you want to conduct tests to see why my eyes changed color? Do you realize how stupid that sounds?" Jack demanded angrily.
"Interesting. It seems whenever Jack gets angry his eyes and voice change. How long have you had this issue of your eyes changing color when you become angry?" Egon asked Jack who shrugged.
"I don't know and I don't care! The only thing I care about is rescuing my daughter from the Grundel. I shall rescue her from him and I don't need any of your help. If this Grundel thinks that he's going to take my daughter from me then he has another thing coming!" Jack replied and as he turned to leave, his eyes were flashing a deep red and it almost seemed as if sparks we flying out of them.
"Uhh anyone else find that disturbing?" Eduardo asked and the others nodded.
"He's changed somehow. It's as if something deep inside him awoke the moment Catherine was taken from us. Something supernatural perhaps your right Egon, perhaps what happened to him when he was a Grundel changed his DNA." Kylie replied.
"If that's the case, the same may apply to Catherine. It would explain why she has such a strong connection to ghosts. Why, when she took the Grundel's hand she didn't become a Grundel. Maybe something in her DNA prevents her from being completely affected by ghosts." Egon replied.
