Kapitel 19: Returning Home
"Guys.. Spencer and Jess have been gone for awhile." Muriel said while looking at the time.
"How long does it take to get some coffee, knowing that boy that where he is?" Craig asked while rubbing his eyes as he woke up not too ago.
"GAH W-WHAT IF T-THEY ARE IN D-DANGER!?" Tweek screamed out while shaking as he was growing very scared.
"Someone should go check on them?" Wendy said while looking around seeing most the boys were barely able to function as they were hung over.
"Wait guys... There they are and they have someone with them." Molly said while looking out the window.
Bebe went to the window to check. "Wait guys.. That looks like.." She froze before she could finish as she quickly opened the front door. When she got a better view of who was hiding in the hoodie, her heart nearly stopped. "Token?"
All eyes sparked to Bebe.
"W-wait, did I hear that right?" Stan asked while holding his head as it was throbbing.
Tears fell from Bebe's eyes as she began running toward the friend she thought she lost.
The remaining of the group were still in disbelief as they all went to the door. All their faces flushed as they saw a face they haven't seen in so long. One they never thought they would see again. A few ran to him as if, had they not, he would get taken away yet again. Clyde being the first one as he was nearly tripping on his feet. Bebe quickly backed away knowing Token would get more hugs. Clyde didn't seem to stop running as he tackled Token in a massive hug. Token and Clyde nearly fell to the ground, only being stopped by a shadow wall Token put up behind him just in time. Clyde didn't care as he was crying in his best friend's arms. Token hugged him just as tight while closing his eyes. They both never thought they would see each other again.
A hand was placed on Clyde's shoulder. "Stop hogging him, Clyde." Craig said while pulling Clyde away from Token. Token lightly chuckled as Craig hugged him. Token was welcomed with welcome embraces from everyone else as they weren't going to pass up a hug now. Token felt nothing but happiness, something he never thought he would feel again. This was his family. This was his home. Taking in all his surrounding he noticed the only ones still inside seemed to be the new students Spencer told him about. The only one that wasn't new in his eyes was the ink girl he grew an immediate liking to as there was nothing he could do to make up to what she did for him. 'I'll be sure to do my best to thank her.. In some way.'

After the teens collected themselves, they took Token inside to get a better understanding on what actually happened.
Token looked over at Spencer. "Well I couldn't remember too much when I was in her control. The memories only stick if they were traumatizing. I do remember waking up with ink all over me and seeing Spencer was out cold on the ground. Taking in my surrounding I noticed I was in a coffee shop. I wanted to dig deeper as I was nervous she would come back and find me. Looking around the building I could hear muffled screams coming from the back room. When I went to check it out I saw a guy tied up. After getting him out of the restraints, he told me she poisoned Spencer's drink and forced him to serve it."
"Wait.. she? Who did this to you Token?" Wendy asked in a somber tone.
Token felt his heart jolt just thinking about saying that horrid wench. In a pained tone in voice he lightly spoke. "Heidi."
The whole room took in the information as if a bowling ball was dropped on their chest.
"W-Wait, Heidi Turner?" Kyle asked as his face was pale as a ghost.
Token nodded while he noticed all their reactions were the same. Spencer could see the pain in Token as he stepped in. "When I woke up, I saw Token coming back from untying the cashier. It took a lot to process if that was really him or not. I asked what happened and... I want you all to be aware he doesn't have the stomach to tell you. It'll have to be for another time." Spencer said with pain in his eyes as Token told him a summary of the hell he was put through. Token told him he wasn't ready to tell the others as their hearts would get crushed as they would begin blaming themselves.
"Token, you don't have to tell us until your ready." Wendy spoke up as she seemed to be the only one who could speak as the rest was starting to dread the fact they didn't keep searching for him.
"I know and I just don't want you all to blame yourselves for not finding me or thinking I was dead. I don't even remember how long it's been but I know it's been long enough." He spoke quietly as he felt his throat dry and in pain from all the screaming in the past couple months.
The room was quiet as no one knew if they should speak. Token looked up at Jess as he almost forgot to mention one more thing he wouldn't pass up now. "She's the reason why I'm here." He said while pointing at Jess. She stood with her group as they looked at her in surprise as if they were shocked.
"Wait, what do you mean she saved you?" Shay asked.
"The Possessor was looking for a new host. Spencer being that host. Knowing Heidi, she was going to give me to the Manipulator and I would have died. Knowing that man that's just a game to him. I remember the battle with 'her' as it was terrifying. I don't mean to sound rude but.. I never seen anything like what she can do. Heidi was so scared she was desperate to escape. She got trapped in an ink puddle as she was sinking inside. She knew she couldn't do anything but leave my body behind. That's when everything went black for me. All I know is she was petrified. She clearly met her match. Even after me and Spencer woke up, we were drawn to a loud scream that echoed the streets. We quickly made our way there to come across Heidi being consumed by a black goo. She knew she lost that day." Token looked over at Jess again with a small reassuring smile on his face. "It's because of 'her' I'm even alive."
Everyone looked at Jess. Some in disbelief while her friends were so proud of her.
"If Jess wasn't with me I would be in the Possessor's control. Knowing she's on our team makes me think we have a chance against the other minions the Manipulator has. Well, her and them." Spencer said while looking at Jess's group.
The group all smiled as they felt great knowing they could be of some help. For Jess to be the reason one of the Manipulator's minions are in prison, is more than it really seems. The group of teens have been trying to put just one of his minions in jail and keep it that way. They haven't seen anyone of them as if the Manipulator had a plan to strike when they weren't expecting.
"Hey Token, I know this is out of the blue but we should celebrate you coming back home." Bebe said with a small smile on her face.
Token looked around seeing all his friends waiting for a response. Looking over at the new group he hasn't met yet he gave a small smile himself. "Yeah, I'd like that."
