Brenda stood dead still, not even processing what had just happened.

She didn't want to.

"Minho's gone insane."

Was her only thought.

She shook her head, in an attempt to clear her mind.

She remembered Thomas and jumped slightly.

Minho might not be staying around but Brenda was and she was going to help her friend.

She turned and ran back to her small home.

She kicked the door open, not stopping to even open the door.

She looked at the floor and he was gone.

She blinked once and he had returned.

Her head was spinning rapidly and she couldn't see straight.

She slid down the wall until she was sitting on the floor.

She glanced at the place where Thomas had been.

He had been there and gone within the span of less than a minute.

Something was definitely happening.

Something bad.

Thomas began to stir and mumble.

Brenda gasped and stood up quickly.

Blood rushed to her head and she stumbled a little.

She quickly recovered and started to make her way towards Thomas.

She bent down beside the mumbling boy and put her hand on his shoulder.

"Thomas?..." she asked softly.

He mumbled, "what happened?"

Brenda sighed. "you touched a chip and passed out, you went insane for at least an hour and told us WICKED was back. "

Thomas looked around. "where is Minho?"

Brenda groaned remembering what had happened then.

"Minho couldn't handle seeing you like that and he ran out."

Thomas glanced down at the ground and he looked like an disappointed 5 year old in Brenda's opinion.

"Oh." he mumbled.

"Yeah."

you touched the chips and passed out and woke up and said "wicked is back..be careful and wicked is good."

It made no sense at all"

Thomas looked at her confused. "I don't remember any of that, I remember falling asleep and that's it."

"Oh no ohhhhh no, WICKED is back, and stronger than ever." Brenda murmured.
