Building Problems Ch-3

           "...What am I... really doing this for?" Klyde asked himself as he sat under the Mullberry Bush, staring at the vial in his hands. Klyde held the brew up with one of his hands while the other hand scratched the back of his head. He closed his eyes out of guilt as he remembered the look on Kork's face as she saw him flee with her project.

           He sighed and pushed the big red button on the left side of his chest, opening up his hatch where he placed the brew and shut the door. Klyde wrapped his arms around his knees and began to think of what he was going to do next.

          "I can still fix things..." Klyde began to think to himself. He shook his head and closed his eyes again. "What am I doing?" Klyde asked himself in his mind.

         "Klyde?" a voice said from his left "are you ok? You look troubled?" Klyde opened his eyes as he reconized the voice and felt a bit more calm knowing that it was a friend.

          "Oh. Ummm its nothing really, where'd Kat run off to? She's always with you and stuff..." Klyde asked Mongoose. Klyde knew Mongoose never really left Kat's side since Kat was really the first to accept her in all, most of the other hoodians looked at Mongoose as a stranger or something else due to the tail Hoborg gave her.

        "Oh, she's at the Hall of Records.. I think she's looking for something about Butterflies..." Mongoose informed. Klyde nodded remembering that Kat and Mongoose were trying to find a way to catch some butterflies they had found; Klyde had made them nets but forgot to give them to them. "You look troubled... are you sure nothing is wrong?" Mongoose questioned again.

          "No there's nothing wrong... everything is... ok..." Klyde informed trying to reasure Mongoose that there was no problem... even though there was.

       "Well actually there is," a voice said from a top  the Mullberry Bush "I haven't recieved my wantings yet... Klyde...." Klyde's eyes widened at the voice and noticed Mongoose scramble away from under the bush and quickly crawled away backwards from the site. For there was Klogg casually sitting upon the top of the Mullberry Bush, strumming his claws on his leg with that crooked smile.

          "K-K-Klyde! Run away! It's Klogg!" Mongoose quickly stood up and made a dash for the Explosive Shack. But something grabbed her tail, and of course it was Klogg. "Sorry, but until Klyde here gives me a certain something that he stole for me you won't be free..." Klogg informed. "W-Wha? Klyde what did you do?! Please, let me go.. I don't want any part..." Mongoose hastily informed.

          Klyde could've told Klogg he didn't have it. And could've found some way of fixing everything.

          But he didn't.

          "Okay... just leave her alone..." Klyde informed clicking the button and opening the hatch, revealing Kork's Mullberry Brew. Klogg smiled and released Mongoose. "Y'see? That wasn't so hard now was it?" Klogg asked walking twoards Klyde. Mongoose fell back in horror and quickly ran off to most likely find help.

         "Why am I doing this...?" Klyde asked himself again as Klogg came closer. His mind racing with thoughts of good and thoughts of bad.

          "There are some things I just can't fix..."
