"What did you do to him?" I screamed. Brandon simply shrugged.

"I just disabled all of his senses. He can't hear, see, or speak. So he's basically unconscious," he said casually.

"What did Noah ever do to you? He was your best friend!" I screamed. I wouldn't let my tears fall. It would show my weakness– Noah.

"What did Noah ever do to me? I don't even know Noah! All I know is the fact that you lo-" he stopped abruptly and his eyes widened. I knew this wasn't Brandon. This was the voice.

"You possessed him. I knew it. You're a monster!" I shouted. I sounded as if I were a little girl in a nightmare. He just laughed.

"Oh yes, I am the monster. The monster that's about to destroy you!" He took out a knife and swung it forward, towards my heart. I closed my eyes, waiting for darkness, but nothing came. I opened my eyes and the knife was inches away from me.

"Get off me!" the voice shouted. Noah was holding the knife away from me with all his might. I sobbed in relief.

"Go! RUN!" He shouted, straining to keep 'Brandon' from plunging the knife into me. I shook my head. Noah was not going to die for me. I closed my eyes. What did dad teach me? I thought. I gasped. All of Dad's favorite karate movies came flooding to me. I remembered my 'karate' lessons with dad. I smiled. Noah's brightened when he saw my smile. He knew I had an idea.

"Hey, Butt-face!" I called. He growled and flung Noah across the room, leaving him unconscious. I sobbed inside, but I had to deal with him first. I grabbed the knife and ran across the room. He immediately ran after me, which was easy due to Brandon's athletic abilities. I did a series of kicks and punches, and before I knew it, Brandon laid there, dead. My eyes widened in horror. Did I kill Brandon?

Fortunately, Brandon opened his eyes. I flung my hands around his neck and punched him in the face. He groaned but stayed conscious.

"Why would you do that?" I screamed, performing a routine of punches on his arm. Brandon just laughed.

"It's a long story," he said. Noah stood in the back corner in awe, until he finally approached me.

"How did you do that?" he asked. I laughed.

"Karate Kid," I whispered in his ear and ran back to his/my house.
