Chapter 5 The Parasite Part 1
Several days later, Hannah has been readjusting to her new friend who has asked to be referred to as Craindre. She talked to them whenever she got the chance and they were quite curious about her world.
"So where are you from Craindre?" Hannah asked.
"Oh um... I don't know, I can't remember how I got here let alone where I'm from," Craindre explained.
"Really? You don't remember anything?" Hannah asked.
"No, can't recall a thing, it's all a blur," Craindre explained.
"That's tough, but hey I hope that you'll like it here on earth," Hannah said.
Craindre smiled at what Hannah said, then the two heard someone knock on the bedroom door.
"Hey sis I heard you talking to someone is everything alright?" Daniel asked.
"Oh yeah everythings fine, I'm just talking to my friend Jenny over the phone," Hannah explained.
"Um... okay well Mom wanted me to tell you that lunch was ready so come on down," Daniel explained.
"Okay I'm coming!" Hannah said.
Daniel sighed and went down stairs but couldn't help that once again Hannah was keeping something from him, but what? He wanted to know what his little sister was keeping from him. Hannah meanwhile ushered Craindre into her hoodie as she didn't want them to be found out by her family. She then went down stairs and saw her mom had made breakfast for lunch. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and some cinnamon buns with frosting.
"Ohh that looks delicious Mom!" Hannah said.
"Thanks dear I'm so happy you think so," Hannah's mother said.
Hannah then took a seat next to her brother and grabbed some eggs, bacon, and a bun. After getting what she wanted to eat she tucked into her breakfast for lunch.
"Hey, have you all seen the news lately?" Hannah's dad asked.
"No, why do you ask dad?" Hannah asked.
"Well A new squad has apparently shown up," Hannah's dad explained.
"Oh yeah I heard about that. From what people online have been saying she apparently decked out in all pink," Daniel explained.
"Well I'd like to meet her, she's really cool!" Lilly exclaimed.
"Yeah she is, and she's very powerful as well!" Hannah exclaimed.
"Yeah but I do wonder what happened to the Red Squad and where she is," Hannah's dad pondered.
"Oh um... I'm sure whatever happened to her she's fine," Hannah said rather dismissively when she heard about the Red Squad AKA her.
Daniel noticed his sister's dismissiveness which was rather strange for her as he knew Hannah would never be dismissive. "Hey sis are you alright?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah I'm good... hey bro how are you doing with your friend on that new online murrder mystery game?" Hannah asked, trying to change the conversation.
"Oh I've been doing well, haven't gotten him yet but I'm planning on beating him soon!" Daniel explained.
"Good luck their Bro. I believe in you!" Hannah exclaimed.
However Daniel did notice that Hannah just straight up changed the conversation and that made him even more suspicious. After a while Hannah was done eating and excused herself from the table and went back to her room to check up on Amanda.
When Hannah left Daniel excused himself from the table and followed his little sister up to her room. He knew that something was up and he was going to find out what it was. So he sneaked up the stairs and pretended to go into his own room by opening and closing the door to make it sound like he went in as Hannah was already in her own room.
He then slowly crept up to Hannah's door and attempted to listen in by pressing his ear up to the door. However when he did Hannah opened the door at the same time and his ear just ended up on her chest. Daniel quickly jolted up when his sister opened the door and quickly tried to come up with an excuse for the question he knew that was coming up.
"Bro why were you trying to listen into my room?" Hannah asked with an eyebrow crooked.
"Um I was... Um, just worried about you, ever since we've moved here you've been acting off... like you're keeping something from us," Daniel explained.
"Bro I'm not keeping anything a secret. Also if I was, I have rights to keep things a secret, okay, now please don't try and listen into my room, it's creepy," Hannah stated before closing her room door again.
Daniel sighed as he went back to his own room; he knew Hannah was hiding something, and he was going to figure out what it was. Meanwhile Hannah sighed as she heard her brother go into his room and this time it was for real.
"Hey Craindre, thanks for telling me about my bro," Hannah thanked.
"Anytime for my friend," Craindre added.
Hannah smiled then went up to Amanda's cage that was on her desk and let her out. "Hey Amanda, how are you today?" Hannah asked.
"I'm good... yawn... Just a little sleepy, that's all," Amanda explained.
"Hehe, well you did stay up pretty late last night so it makes sense," Craindre explained and slithered out of Hannah's hoodie and onto the desk with a little part of them still attached to her.
When they got close to Amanda however she backed away feeling pretty uncomfortable with Craindre.
"Hey Amanda, what's the big idea?" Hannah asked.
"Sorry it's just that I don't trust... them yet," Amanda explained.
"Why? They have been helping me out a lot ever since I lost my amulet. With them I can still be a Rainbow Squad, they give me powers and I'm a better squad than I was before thanks to them!" Hannah explained.
"I know, but I just get a bad sinking feeling from them, Hannah," Amanda explained.
"Hey what's the big idea? I'm not here to hurt anyone. I'm here to help. After all, without me those shadows would still be around. Not to mention what without me Hannah here wouldn't be able to fight them," Craindre explained.
"Yeah Amanda! You don't know how it feels to not be able to help your friends out cause you always had magic. Me on the other hand, I never had magic before until I met Iris and then I lost it and felt worthless, but now I have magic again and you don't even trust me with it?" Hannah asked.
"No I trust you Hannah, I just have a bad feeling about this is all," Amanda explained trying to open Hannah's eyes.
Hannah opened her mouth to say something back, till her laptop started ringing informing her that someone was calling her via video chat. Hannah decided to wait till later to continue the conversation. She sat down and opened up video chat and saw the twins on the other end.
"Hey Hannah how's it hanging?" Josh asked.
"I'm good, how are you two doing?" Hannah asked.
"We're good! Mom and Dad are going to have a BBQ tomorrow and we're just calling up our friends to see if they could come over with their folks tomorrow," Josh explained.
"Ohh! I love a good BBQ and it's a nice day tomorrow. I also heard your parents got a pool last week and it's all set up so why not!" Hannah said.
"Hey is Amanda there? I wanna talk to her!" Hannah heard Umang say excitedly.
"Yeah, where is she? Where is she?!" Faith asked as well.
The two animals went up to the desk and tried to get up on it.
"Hey you two Mom said to not jump up on the desks you're going to mess up our stuff on it!" Lila exclaimed.
"Hey I got an idea... let me just move this," Josh said then picked up his laptop.
He moved it around and Hannah saw the camera staring down at Josh's feet for a while till he placed it down on his bed. Josh and Lila then lied down on the bed, along with Umang, and Faith. Amanda crawled into view of the camera so she could see her fellow animal guides.
"Hey guys, how are you all doing?" Amanda asked.
"We're great! Josh and Lila's parents are amazing! They've been feeding us some great food! And I've been licking what's left on their dinner plates! However, their mom won't let me eat any of the chocolate," Umang explained.
"Well that's because chocolate isn't good for earth dogs," Amanda explained.
"Aww so I can't have chocolate, now I'm sad," Umang said while winning a bit.
"Sorry Umang, but other than that I've been fine, their dad here has let me sleep on his lap wherever he sits down to watch some strange live action show," Faith explained.
"Ohh I wanna know what he's watching!" Craindre said while slithering up in view.
The twins, Umang, and Faith's faces all turned to shock and fear when they saw them. This didn't go unnoticed by Hannah and she got frustrated by her friends being afraid of the same thing that was helping her with being a Rainbow Squad. "Guys why are you so afraid of Craindre here? They're not doing anything wrong! Without them I can't be a part of the Rainbow Squads!" Hannah explained.
"H that's not true, you'll always be a part of The Squads no matter what!" Josh explained.
"Yeah our Grandma always says you don't need superpowers to be a superhero," Lila explained.
"You guys are just saying that to make me feel better, you also don't understand how I feel because you both still have your amulets!" Hannah said angrily.
Umang lowered his head in fear when he heard Hannah's angry tone, and Faith backed up and tried to hide in Lila's ponytail.
"Ugh you know what guys I'm calling in a Squad meeting. I'm going to send a message to everyone and let them know I want to have a meeting with them," Hannah started and ended the call before Josh and Lila could reply. She then took her phone out from her pocket and sent a message to all her friends letting them know she wants them to meet up at her place.
"Um Hannah are you alright?" Amanda asked concern for her owner.
"I'm fine, I just want to tell everyone about Craindre and how they're helping me out so much," Hannah explained.
Amanda sighed as she had a feeling that things were going to go south real fast with this.
Later on, Lilly was in the living room watching a cartoon on the TV when she heard the doorbell ring. She paused the show and went up the door to see who it was. She peaked out of the little letter box and saw her older sister's friends standing on the other side of the door.
'Huh I wonder why they're here?' Lilly asked herself. She then unlocked the door and opened it up allowing them to come in.
"Hey everyone, what's with the sudden visit?" Lilly asked.
"Hannah sent us a message asking if we could come over to hang out for a bit," Jake explained.
"Oh well she's in her room then! I hope you all have a great time!" Lilly said giggly.
Jake just smiled and patted Lilly on the head before heading up stairs, the others all followed him but not before giving Lilly some head pats as well as she was just too cute not to give head pats. Once they were done with that they went up the stairs and went to Hannah's room. When they got to her door Iris knocked on it letting Hannah know that they were here.
She opened the door and said, "Hey guys it's nice to see you all, come on in and let's start the meeting."
At that point Hannah fully opened the door and all her friends came inside.
"So what's up H? I was in the middle of writing a hard core song when you sent the text," Erick said.
"Yeah and I was busy reading a good book," Jane explained.
"Well I'll explain it, you all know recently a new member of the Squads has appeared and has given me new powers right?" Hannah asked.
"Oh the experiment, yeah we all know about it, why?" Ed asked.
"Well some of you seem to be rather afraid of them, and I want to know why," Hannah explained.
"Um Hannah I know you're happy to have magic again, but we just can't help but sense that something about that experiment is wrong," Paccia explained.
"Okay first of all their name is Craindre and secondly why don't you trust them? They've helped us out a lot and with them I can still be a part of the Rainbow squads!" Hannah explained.
"Hannah, why would you think that you can't be a part of the Rainbow Squads without your Amulet anymore?" Iris asked.
"Because I can't defend myself, you know it, they know it, I know it, WE ALL KNOW IT!" Hannah screamed.
"Wow, easy tiger! Listen we all know you're upset over losing your Amulet Hannah, but there's no need to be so aggressive to use it. We'll get it back alright, we just need to find a way to get to where it is," Erick explained.
"Well there's a way, I talked to Apollo about it and he said that he finally had a way to travel to the shadow realm, AKA the kingdom of Negativity," Iris said.
"Wait! What?! There is?!" Hannah asked.
"Yeah there is, Apollo finally managed to create a dimensional key that will allow us to travel there," Iris explained.
"Ohh that sounds awesome, but why did it take so long?" Jenny asked.
"Well, making a key that can allow you to travel from one dimension to another isn't a piece of cake. Creating just one key takes over two years, and now with our kingdom in ruins it took him a little bit longer to make it," Iris explained.
"Whatever Iris! If we have a way to get there then we can go there, get my amulet back, and stop Adrienen and Lucifer!" Hannah declared.
"Wowow! Hannah, we should test it first as it still needs to be tested, and besides do you even have a plan on how to stop them?" Iris asked.
"Easy. We go in, I find my amulet, and we put an end to the two main evil doers!" Hannah explained.
"Um Hannah that doesn't sound like a plan," Jenny said.
"That sounds more like running into danger like a headless chicken on a horse," Josh commented.
"HEY IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT YOUR STUPID BRAIN COULD COME UP WITH!" Hannah screamed.
"HANNAH! What was that! We know Josh isn't the brightest in the book, he's admitted this himself, but why did you say it like that?!" Jake asked angrily.
"Yeah and you didn't even say it in a way that sounded like you were joking like how I do!" Erick exclaimed, just as angry.
"Pha you all just don't get it! I need to get my amulet back! And we need to stop those two!" Hannah exclaimed.
"But that doesn't mean you need to be so mean!" Jenny exclaimed.
"I'M NOT BEING MEAN! I'M BEING REAL! YOU CHILDISH BUN HEAD!" Hannah screamed angrily.
"Hannah! What has gotten into you! You're acting differently! You're not making a proper plan! You're acting irrationally! And the biggest red flag of them all! Your Insulting your friends! What is going on with you!" Iris demanded to know.
"I'm Not Acting irrationally! I'm just suggesting that we do the one thing you were too weak to do because of your niceness, Iris! WE FACE OUR ENEMY HEAD ON AND DESTROY THEM!" Hannah exclaimed angrily.
"Yeah I think we should do that! After all Iris your kindness isn't enough to stop the ones who took everything away from you. Don't you want to get revenge on the ones who caused you so much suffering?" Craindre asked.
When everyone saw Craindre emerge from the back of Hannah's hoodie and started talking, they all had a bad feeling crawling up their spines. Iris especially could sense a very dark aura emitting off of Craindre and she had a feeling that Hannah's change in personality had to do with them. So Iris stood her ground and knew that she couldn't let this thing manipulate her the same way it was manipulating her friend.
"No we're not doing it like that, yes I want to stop them, but not like this. That isn't the way of a hero, Hannah you know this as much as the rest of us and frankly I think Craindre here is a bad influence on you," Iris stated.
"Oh well then, if none of you are with me, then I think you all should leave!" Hannah stated before pointing to her bedroom door.
"But Hannah, we're your friends!" Lila exclaime.
"And if you all were my friends you would listen to what I'm saying! But none of you are listening to me at all," Hannah explained.
"Yeah if all of you really cared you'd all be listening to her, so I think you all should leave as well, and that includes you Amanda," Craindre then picked Amanda up, put her in Iris's hands, and then shoved everyone outside of Hannah's room.
Craindre then closed and locked the door behind them.
"Um guys... someone tell me what just happened before my brain becomes so confused it deep fries itself," Josh said.
"I think that thing is causing Hannah to change," Jake said worried about his girlfriend.
"Well whatever it is, we need to talk about this somewhere else," Erick said.
"Yeah, let's go to my place," Iris said.
"Iris... Is Hannah going to be alright?" Amanda asked. Iris looked down at Amanda and saw the look of worry on her face.
"Yeah she's going to be fine, that thing is what's causing Hannah to act this way. Once we separate them I'm sure Hannah will come to her senses and will apologize for what she said to all of us," Iris conjected.
Amanda breathed a sigh of relief at what Iris said, and she did hope that would be the case as she wasn't used to Hannah being so aggressive. The Squads then left the house and headed off to Iris's place to talk more about Hannah's sudden change in attitude.
Meanwhile In Hannah's room, Hannah was sitting on her bed while Craindre was looking out the window and watched as her friends left the house. They smiled at this and looked back at Hannah as her face now looked emotionless with her eyes glowing pink.
Craindre smiled evilly as they had taken control over Hannah's actions and trapped her in her own mine.
"Hehe well then looks like I finally got the info I need to return to the kingdom of negativity and show Adrienne what I can do!" Craindre exclaimed, pleased with themselves.
Craindre smiled as they looked back on the day when they took control of Hannah. The day of the attack on the wildlife center, Hannah's fear and insecurities allowed them to take full control of her mind and body. Craindre now knew that they could use the dimensional key to go back to the Kingdom Negativity and show Adrienne what they had done. This was because they were made from pure fear and they were also a parasite that takes control of their host's mind and body.
"Hehe oh Hannah stop trying to fight against me! I felt you trying to fight during our little meeting with your friends and I didnt like that one bit!" Craindre explained, not happy with Hannah's actions in the slightest.
"So please stop trying to fight me, or else I'll have to give you a bit of a punishment for disobeying me," Craindre explained. They then let loose a bit on the controle to allow Hannah to talk a little as they wanted to know what she had to say. They also didn't need to worry about any of her family members listening in as they put a soundproof barrier around the room so no one could listen in to their conversation. When Hannah was able to talk again she started screaming like a maniac, which Craindre expected to happen.
"Agh! You! You won't get away with this! My friends will see that something is up with me and they will stop you!" Hannah declared angrily.
"Hmm I don't think you get it missy, I'm in control, and you're not! I make the calls now, and you don't! Or do I need to punish you again for resisting me and defying me?" Craindre asked.
"NO! NO Please dont-AAAAHHHH!" Hannah started screaming in pain as Craindre squeezed her heart. It was beyond painful as it felt like her whole entire body felt like it was getting the same treatment as her heart. Hannah didn't know how long it had lasted for all she knew is that Craindre kept it up for a while, or till they heard frantic knocking on Hannah's door.
"Hannah! Are you alright I heard screaming?! I'm respecting your privacy by knocking but I'm going to assume my authority as your older brother and come in anyway!" Daniel said from the other side.
Thinking fast Craindre took back full control and made Hannah grab her shin as a way to make it look like Hannah just slammed a part of her body on something. Daniel then came into the room and saw his little sister lying on her bed holding her shin in her hands.
"Hey Hannah you alright?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah I'm fine just slammed my shin really hard against the bedpost," Hannah explained.
"Are you sure you're alright? I thought I heard you and your friends fighting not too long ago," Daniel explained.
"Bro I'm fine we just had a bit of a disagreement, friends do that, everything is fine," Hannah reassured Daniel.
"...... Okay but if there's anything you need sis I'm always here for you," Daniel said before giving Hannah a hug.
Hannah hugged him back, and after a while the two separated and Daniel went back to his room.
"Hmm strange, I'm sure there was a soundproof barrier around the room? No one was able to hear what was going unless they were in the room themselves? Meh I'm sure it's nothing, it won't matter later anymore anyways. Hannah I'm sure you want to say goodbye to your family, but I don't think I'll let you do that. Hehe we've got a big day ahead of us hehehehe HAHAHAHA!" Craindre laughed evilly as they closed the door ready for what was to come that night.
