AN: This story needs more than two genres! Scifi, Horror (kinda) Suspense, Mystery, Tragedy, Hurt/ Comfort and just plain mind-fuckness. Please keep in mind when reading this, that I am most certainly no professional author. Please be nice with your comments! D: Also keep in mind that this story will not be humorous at all… maybe a little, but mostly sad. So, if you don't like that kind of stuff I'd turn back now. This story is based off a game I watched called HetaOni, a fan-made Hetalia parody of Ao Oni. If you know what either of them are, good for you! And please don't spoil anything for anybody, because I might end up changing it. If not, I hope you like it!
Chapter 1 – The Mansion
Nobody knew it existed. In fact, this was the first time the kids of the cul-de-sac have seen this mansion perched upon the hilltop. It was unusual for a mansion of this size to be anywhere near the Peach Creek vicinity, so it was no surprise when the children became curious. The mansion is set quite a ways away from the construction site, and even the Trailer Park, sitting out practically in the middle of nowhere with only a dirt road to guide life to its alluring gates. No one knows how long it's been here, or who used to live within the confines of this dark, mysterious place. But for now the mansion remained uninhabited. Some even speculate that it is haunted. However, rumors as they may be, no one has ever met anybody who had ever been inside.
OoOoO
"Oh, look! It's really here!" Double D's surprised voice broke the silence as the three Eds approached the mansion from the dirt road. Even from this distance, they could see just how large this place really was, not to mention eerie. "And here I thought this place was just a rumor… I never thought we'd actually find it!" Eddy murmured. As a matter of fact, none of the Eds thought this place actually existed. Up until this day, the place had never been seen, or even mentioned around Peach Creek. It was just an address Double D happened to find, torn from its original sheet of paper and stuck under his new desk at school. He had never heard of the place before, so he became curious and asked his friends to join him in this search; however, Eddy refused. It was then Kevin made the dare for them to go. Since Eddy wasn't one to turn down a challenge, especially one from Kevin, he accepted. 'Bring me somethin' from inside the house, and I'll give ya twenty bucks.' Simple enough. So now, here they are. The three Eds approached the gate and stood before the desolate house. From the outside, there seemed to be no life whatsoever inside the place. Ed stepped forward, clinging to the cold iron bars of the gate and gazing upward at the tall building with eyes as wide as saucers.
"I've seen this before guys! It's in one of my comic books! The Cursed Mansion of Sinful Steve, if we enter the mansion we will be devoured by a mutant caterpillar with 20 arms and 7 eyes!" Ed wailed in fear, reminiscing on one of his many comics stashed in his room. However, his tale of terror received no reaction from either Double D or Eddy. "That comic stuff's a load of Bologna, Ed! Get over it. But I gotta admit, this place isn't very interesting… Can't we just grab somthin' and go home?" Eddy said, glancing over at Double D.
"Not very interesting?! Eddy, just think of all the mysteries this place could be holding, all the untold tales of our very town that could be lying in wait inside," Double D stated, gesturing at the mansion with his hand. "SNORE! I'd rather count the grains of sand at the park!" Eddy griped in annoyance. Double D stared blankly at him for a moment more before giving in with a heavy sigh. "Very well then, I suppose we won't have to stick around."
Eddy walked past the gate with his hands shoveled in his pockets. "Good. I think if I had to learn anymore than I have today I'll bust an artery…" he griped. Double D was quick to follow him, but paused when he noticed Ed hadn't moved. He still remained clung to the gate in fear of his comic book nonsense. "Coming, Ed?" Double D asked. Ed glanced at the road behind them, and then at his two buddies before him. After a quick moment of thought, he suddenly perked up, seemingly changing his mood instantaneously. "You betcha!" he hollered, running after his two friends.
"Look at the size of this place!" Eddy shouted, craning his neck just to see the top. The mansion itself had 5 or 6 stories to it at the very least. And the length was nothing to scoff at either. Eddy guessed he could fit at least 20 copies of his own home within this one. He suddenly grew a devious look on his face, rubbing his hands together greedily as the three approached the front door. "I bet the last guy stashed a million… no, a BILLION bucks somewhere! We're gonna be rich!" Eddy said excitedly as he stopped at the door. He took a strand of his hair and sharpened it between with teeth to act as a lock-pick; however, before he could go any further, Double D walked up to the door and opened it. To their surprise, the door was not locked. "What the… it was open this whole time?" Eddy questioned unsurely as Double D took the first few steps into the home. He stopped, glancing at the doorknob. "Well… So it would seem," he retorted. "Whatever… The money's mine!" Eddy laughed maliciously, running up beside Double D to stand in the middle of the empty hallway. Ed was soon to follow, allowing the front door to creak back behind him as he joined his friends in this new ED-venture. "Wait for me, guys!" he shouted just before the door came to its close.
Now inside, the Eds fell silent. This place was even creepier from the inside. There was barely any decoration to liven up the place, (or to take back as proof for Kevin's bet) and the overall age of the home just added to this very unearthly atmosphere. Eddy's excited composure quickly dulled as he became increasingly nervous. Yet, despite the spookiness in the air, Double D remained as bright-eyed as ever. "This place is certainly cleaner than I expected," he commented. Eddy inched closer to him, glancing around in distress. "T-that's lovely, Double D. Can we just find somethin' and get outta here? This place is giving me the creeps," Eddy stammered. "What's the matter, Eddy? Are you scared?" Ed snickered teasingly, poking Eddy on the top of his head.
"What was that?!" Eddy shrieked suddenly. Both Double D and Ed went frigid at Eddy's sudden shrill tone. The three fell silent. Eddy started to shiver as he exchanged a worried glance between his two pals. "D-Did you hear that?!" he asked in a hushed voice. Ed's pupil's dilated in fear as his eyes glanced around the empty halls. "W-W-What was it, Eddy?" he shivered.
"You mean you didn't hear it?! They sounded like footsteps!" Eddy wailed. Ed leaned in closer to Eddy, shaking ever so slightly.
"Listen!" Eddy urged, looping his arm around Ed's neck. "There they are again!"
They fell silent again. Sweat dripped from Ed's brow as Double D looked on, nervously biting at his lower lip. Sure enough, if they strained their ears they could hear the rhythmic tapping of feet upon the wooden floors. As the seconds dragged on, the sound grew louder… and louder… and louder until it sounded as if the footsteps were right underneath Eddy's feet. Suddenly, Ed fell to the floor. Immediately, he sprung back up, running in circles around his friends in a panic, screaming like a banshee. "It's Sinful Steve! Run for your life! Every man for himself! Man the helms!" he screamed.
Suddenly, Eddy fell to his side, rolling in laughter as Ed slowed to a stop. Double D threw his hands on his hips in annoyance. "BWAAHAHA! What a sap! It was me the whole time!" he laughed, tapping his shoe against the wood to mimic the sound. Ed was still a bit rattled. Double D put his arm around Ed comfortingly. "Haha, very funny Eddy," he griped sarcastically. "You nearly gave Ed and I a heart attack!"
Eddy's laughter died down as he wiped a tear from his eye. "Jeez Double D, don't have a bird. It was just a joke!" he grimaced. Just then, the sound of shattering glass sounded from the hallway to their right. Immediately, all of them fell silent again, heads turned toward the sound. Double D laughed nervously, glancing down at Eddy. "That was a pretty realistic sound effect, Eddy," he stated hopefully. "It wasn't me," Eddy retorted in a serious tone.
The three fell silent once more. Double D even started fumbling nervously with his shirt as they gazed down the empty hallway. "I-I'm sure it's nothing. It's probably just a loosely placed ornament of tableware, or maybe it's just our imagination," Double D rambled. Eddy shoved Ed down the hall with his foot. "I say Lumpy checks it out!" said Eddy. Ed glanced back at Eddy with fear in his widened eyes. "Why should Ed have to go by himself?" Double D snapped.
"No way I'm goin' in there! And you're staying here with me!" Eddy demanded. Ed shivered as he remained where he was. "B-B-But Eddy—"
"No Buts! If you go see what it was, I'll give ya some gravy and buttered toast!" Eddy pleaded. Ed stared blankly down the hall as Double D cast a sarcastic glance at his shorter friend. "Please, Eddy… as if Buttered Toast and Gravy will—"
"BUTTERED TOAST!" Ed shouted suddenly, interrupting Double D and taking off down the hallway at full gallop. Eddy smirked from ear to ear, cupping his hand around his mouth and shouting, "Atta boy, Lumpy!"
Double D watched nervously, adding his own words to Eddy's. "You be careful now, Ed!"
However, the excited Ed was already out of hearing range. At the end of the hall was two doors, one at the very end and the other one closer to Ed on the left hand side. Ed tried to open the closer door first, but it was locked. He thought not much of it and quickly moved onto the next. This door was not locked, which Ed found as he opened it and stepped into the vacant room. He seemed to have found the kitchen, seeing as there were counters, tables, a refrigerator, and a stove top in the room. Ed stood just inside the doorway, glancing about the room for anything strange or suspicious, but much like the rest of the house, there was nothing here. On the left wall, close to the fridge, was another door, only this one was a bit smaller like a pantry of some sort. Yet, Ed found something strange about this room, as if something was waiting for him on the other side. Nervously, Ed inched his way over to the door, the whole time his wild imagination played out multiple scenarios that were most likely not going to happen.
What if Sinful Steve lay in wait on the other side?
What if there was a whole lifetime supply of gravy?
What if this pantry was a gateway to another dimension?
Ed stood before the thin door, contemplating his next move. Slowly, he reached out toward it and rested his hand on the cold metal, still hesitating greatly. Finally, he'd made up his mind. Whether it was a 20 foot caterpillar with seven eyes or a boat-load of gravy he was going to open the door! Yet, as he twisted the knob all of his fantasies crumbled away. This one seemed to be locked as well. Ed pulled his hand back, staring at the alluring door for a moment more before turning back to leave. As Ed turned around, something caught his attention from the corner of his eye. He paused, turning back only to find a shattered plate on the ground beside the door. Looking up, he could clearly see where the plate had fallen from, for on the shelf above the counters it was near were a line of plates, similar in color, missing one within the very neatly spaced line. Ed walked up to the shattered pile and picked up a good sized piece of plate, examining it for a good minute or so before smiling from ear to ear. It would seem Double D was right all along.
Excited, Ed trotted back to where he'd left his two friends to report his findings and receive his reward from Eddy. He waved the piece of plate in the air triumphantly as he made his way down the long hallway.
"Warrior Ed, Reporting for…. Duty?" Ed's voice trailed off as he approached the intersection of halls where his friends had been merely minutes ago. Only now, the hall was completely empty. Ed slowed to a stop, glancing around for any sign of his pals. "Guys…?" he blurted unsurely. There was no response. Ed became nervous; he didn't like being the only one in this large, spooky house. He backed his way toward the front door ever so slowly, hoping that Eddy and Double D had simply gone outside, and most certainly weren't devoured by Sinful Steve. However, as Ed went to turn the knob and make a break for it, the door would not open. Ed was now beginning to panic, staring at the knob that had been unlocked only a few moments earlier. The strangest part was that there was no locking mechanism on the door itself. The only thing it had was a keyhole. Ed knew his friends couldn't be outside, so he moved on.
Ed checked the majority of the first floor, but found that most of the doors were sealed up tight. No matter how hard he tried, they just wouldn't budge. The only part of the first floor he hadn't checked was the end of the hallway to the left of the front door, opposite the one Ed had visited first. By now, Ed was terrified. He was alone, locked inside an abandoned house, his friends missing, and he couldn't find them. There was one room before the hallway made a 90 degree turn, but like all the rest it was locked. Ed turned to make his way around the corner, but froze as he spotted a shadow move quickly across the wall, and disappear around the very same corner. Ed became paralyzed. That shadow was definitely no human's shadow; in fact, it looked like nothing Ed had ever seen.
Ed hoped that this was just another one of Eddy infamous pranks, or else he was in deep trouble here.
"E-E-Eddy…?" he called out nervously, his whole body beginning to rattle. "T-This isn't funny anymore, Eddy…"
No response.
Slowly, Ed inched toward the corner. "D-D-D-Double D-D…?" he stammered. Still nothing.
Cautiously, Ed peered around the corner, expecting to find some monster at the end of the hallway, waiting to eat his very soul. However, he found that the hall was completely empty. The only things he saw were two doors. Ed approached the first one, finding himself in the bathroom, but nothing was special about this room. He quickly moved onto the next only to find yet another locked door. A part of Ed was relieved that there was no monster here, but he just couldn't shake this uneasy feeling. So, he settled with convincing himself that the shadow was just his imagination and went back to the point at which he'd started.
Since all of these doors were locked, Ed figured he had no choice but to go up. Where else would they have gone? Under his feet, the stairs creaked and groaned in age, so Ed was quick to make his way to the top, just in case there really was a monster in this place. Once at the top, he immediately noticed that the room closest to him was cracked open just a hair. So naturally, he checked out this room first. As he pushed on the door, it let out a loud, gruesome noise. Ed jolted, shushing the inanimate object before taking a step into the room. He seemed to have wound up in a bedroom, seeing as there was a bed shoved in the corner, a couple wardrobes, some bookshelves, and a closet. Like the door, the closet was also opened a little bit. If Ed listened carefully, he could barely hear a rattling sound, almost as if a small animal were running around, its claws tip-tapping on the wooden floors. This sound was coming from the closet.
With great hesitation, Ed walked up to the closet, preparing for anything that could be hiding away behind its door, as he reached out and swung the door open. Suddenly…
"NO! PLEASE! LEAVE ME ALONE! I'M JUST A KID!"
The sudden shrill voice caused Ed to fall backwards. His heart fell straight to his stomach as he attempted to scramble away from the thing in the closet. After things calmed a little bit, Ed realized he recognized this voice. And with another quick glance at this thing in the closet, he realized with a rush of relief that it was no thing at all. It was Eddy.
Eddy was curled up in a trembling ball, cramming himself as far into the corner of the small closet as he could manage. But even through Eddy's own fearful position, Ed couldn't help but to smile from ear to ear and run up to Eddy, taking him up in an enormous bear hug.
"EDDY! I was looking everywhere for you! I was so scared! Please don't ever do that again!" Ed wailed, burying his face into Eddy's shirt. Eddy tried his best to scrape Ed from his body, but with no luck. "Ed! You nearly gave me a heart attack!" Eddy shrieked. Ed gazed at his friend blankly. "Why were you in the closet, Eddy?" he asked. Suddenly, Eddy's fearful expression came back. "It was awful! While you were gone, this… this thing appeared and chased after us! I don't know what the heck it was, but it wasn't no human or ghost!" Eddy explained, his voice tightening around his throat in his fear like a boa constrictor. Ed raised his brow in concern, briefly remembering the shadow he'd saw, but quickly pushed it out of his mind. Now that he was with Eddy, he wasn't so scared.
"Sounds like somebody's had too much coffee again," Ed stated, referring back to a time when Eddy had been bouncing off the walls due to his caffeine intake. Eddy scowled back at him. "You idiot! Where would I get coffee in a place like this?! That thing was real! I saw it!"
"Where's Double D?" Ed asked, searching the closet for their sock-headed pal. "He and I ran in different directions. I didn't see where he went," Eddy answered, eyes averting to the ground in guilt. Ed grabbed Eddy by the arm, and started to take off back out the door. But Eddy was reluctant to go, even if he had to be dragged outside. "We gotta look for Double D, Eddy! Before Sinful Steve finds him first!" Ed shouted. Somehow, Eddy managed to break free, backing toward the closet again. Due to the amount of force Ed had been exerting before, he was sent flying into the wall, landing back on his face beside the bed.
"If you think I'm going back out there, you're nuts! Double D will find us; I say we wait here for him!" Eddy urged.
Ed sat up again, now holding onto something he'd found on the floor, examining it carefully. It was a key! He smiled, running back to Eddy with the small golden key in hand. "Lookie here, Eddy! It's a key, see?" he chuckled. "A key?" Eddy stated. "There's something written on it!" Ed pointed out, squinting his eyes to read the fine letters.
"Lee-… Libur-… Libuari-…"
"Gimme that!" Eddy demanded, snatching the key from his inadequate friend. "It says Library, stupid! This key goes to the Library!" he corrected.
"Where's that, Eddy?" Ed wondered innocently.
Suddenly, Eddy put on a greedy smirk from ear to ear. "I bet that's where the sucker his all his cash! Come on, Ed!" he snickered, grabbing Ed by the coat and running toward the door. "Let's go to the library!"
Ed laughed at Eddy's newfound excitement. "Wow Eddy… That's something I'd expect from Double D!" he shouted as they ran down the hall.
"Shut up, Ed!"
The two kids went back down the stairs with Ed leading the way. With so many locked doors in this place, it was impossible to know which one was the library. So Ed merely retraced his steps, heading down the hallway toward the kitchen. He stopped at the locked door with Eddy close behind. "I think it's this one," Ed stated. Eddy grimaced at him impatiently. "Whatever, just open it!" he snapped. Ed inserted the key, and to his luck it was the right door. Now unlocked, he opened the door and stepped into the library.
Like any other library in the world, this room was filled to the brim with shelves upon shelves of old, musty books. To their left was a table covered messily with papers and more books. However, though this room was as simple as any other in this house, the two boys couldn't shake this uneasy feeling. Eddy shoveled his hands into his pockets and moved toward the table, pausing only to direct his pal toward the shelves of books. "I'm gonna check this way, Ed you check the shelves. Look for anything that looks like money," Eddy instructed. With a smile from ear to ear, Ed saluted his friend. "I'm your man, Eddy!" he chuckled before turning around and galloping among the endless shelves of books.
Now alone, Eddy could focus on his own task, starting with the table. He examined the old, wooden piece of furniture for anything strange or out of place, but the table was as simple as any table could get. No drawers, no hidden compartments, nothin'! Eddy scratched his chin. There had to be something! He began tossing the books and papers around carelessly, creating an even bigger mess than already existed. Man, if Double D were with them right now he'd be throwing a fit. Suddenly, as Eddy knocked over a stack of papers that sat barely on the edge, he heard the sharp sound of metal hitting the floor. He paused, eyes averting toward the sound and spotted a small golden key, similar to the one they used to open this door. He picked it up, examining the key carefully. On the body of the small key were the words Bedroom 2. "Bedroom 2?" he questioned, slightly confused.
Suddenly, a loud thud interrupted his thoughts, and in all honesty it scared the living hell from him as well. He turned abruptly toward the sound just as some books fell from their shelves due to a sudden impact from the other side. Eddy's gut churned uncomfortably. "Lumpy? Was that you?" Eddy asked lightly.
"E-E-E-Edd-Eddy!" Ed stammered. Just the fear in his voice was enough to send chills up Eddy's spine. "What is it?" Eddy asked hesitantly. For a brief moment, all Eddy could hear was Ed's rattling breaths. Something wasn't right here. This wasn't the tone of someone who'd just found a load of cash, this was real fear.
"E-Eddy.. you can lay off the p-pranks now," Ed stated. Eddy's heart immediately dropped.
"Ed, I stopped playing pranks back when we entered this place…" Eddy stated.
From beyond the books, Eddy could just barely make out Ed's quivering figure plastered against the shelves. Ever so slowly, he made his way back toward the door, and all the while Eddy caught the glimpse of something else beyond him, something big.
Suddenly, Ed burst into a sprint, running from around the shelves with the most fearful expression on his face. Almost at the same time, as if on cue, something else from another aisle darted out in hot pursue of the young boy. This creature was no human being, even if it's basic feature appeared as so, standing taller than Ed even as it crouched on all four legs. The creature's head was enormous, almost like Johnny's, with large, black, almond shaped eyes that seemed to glint in the dim light of this room. Its hands and feet, though very similar to a human's, were equipped with long, sharp claws. And at the end of its grey, emaciated body was a snake-like tail that thrashed around violently in its own motions. Upon seeing this monster, Eddy knew that what they'd gotten themselves into was certainly not good.
Ed circled around the table, grabbing Eddy by the wrist and violently thrashing him back toward the only exit. "Run for your life!" Ed wailed out. The monster eagerly climbed upon the table, knocking over a few chairs in the process, and outstretched its clawed hands to catch Eddy. But Ed was quick to react, yanking Eddy in front of him as the two made a break for the door.
The creature was closing in fast, and Eddy being scared out of his mind had a difficult time finding his grip on the door. Ed cast nervous glanced between him and the monster. "Come on, Eddy!" he urged desperately. "I'm trying, get off my back!" Eddy snapped. Finally, he had a firm grip on the door, but to his dismay the knob would not turn.
It was locked.
"Come on, stupid door! Who the hell locks a door on both sides?! Ed! Gimme the key quick!" Eddy demanded n a shivering voice. Ed reached into his pockets, and then into his jacket, all the while his forehead was dripping with more and more sweat. "I musta dropped it somewhere, Eddy! I can' find it!"
Eddy reached into Ed's jacket pocket, digging through the mounds of trash and unknown substances until he pulled out a thin, rusty water pipe. He shoved Ed back the way they came, putting him directly in the path of the creature. "Well go find it! I'll hold it off!" Eddy ordered. Ed turned around to run back, but the creature was quick to step in his way.
"Hey! Ugly!" Eddy taunted.
At his voice, the monster whipped its head in Eddy's direction, giving Ed just enough time to slip past it unnoticed. "Yea, you! Don't you want to eat me?!" Eddy shouted, taking a step forward as if to challenge it. Eddy knew that by taunting this monster, he was probably digging his own grave, but this was the only choice. Armed with only a thin pipe, no longer than Eddy's own height, his chances were slim.
Suddenly, the creature leapt into the air, planting itself right on top of Eddy. He was lucky to have such good reactions, for just in the nick of time he brought the pipe above his head to prevent the creature from mauling him right away, but his strength would not hold out. From underneath the creature's nostrils, its skin broke apart to form a mouth with jagged fangs waiting to devour the flesh of this young boy. Eddy was beyond just scared. The monster pushed down on the pipe, putting massive strain on Eddy's arms.
"HURRY UP, ED!" he shouted.
Just as the monster's fangs were barely a hair's length from his face, the monster was suddenly tossed aside. It slammed into the wall violently, giving Eddy just enough time to scramble to his feet and find Ed in front of him with the key in hand. Eddy snatched the key just as the monster regained its composure. Quickly, Eddy opened the door, swinging it out forcefully into the hallway as both boys exploded from the room with the monster close behind.
"Go upstairs, Lumpy… UPSTAIRS!" Eddy screeched just before they passed up the flight of stairs. Eddy knew their only chance to escape was to hide in the bedroom that went with this key. However, at the rate they were running, they wouldn't have time to check every room. If Eddy had any form of good luck, now would be the time for it to shine.
At the top of the stairs, the two Eds looped around the railing, heading down the hallway opposite the stairs in hopes to slow the creature down, but to their dismay it did not. Eddy grabbed onto the first door he saw. His entire body was shaking more than an earthquake as he brought the key up to unlock the door, but with his mind being so scrambled right now, this task would be easier said than done. Not to mention Ed's rather clingy behavior wasn't doing much to help either.
"Come on, Eddy! It's catching up!" he pointed out nervously.
Eddy turned the latch. Success! His luck ain't out after all. He opened the door, gesturing for Ed to come inside quickly as the monster closed in fast. Just in the nick of time, he slammed the door shut, locked it and ran back to hide with Ed between the two beds in the room. The creature scratched at the door, making quite a racket as Eddy huddled beside Ed.
"What the heck's up with this mansion?!" Eddy snipped quietly. Ed pressed himself as close to the wall as he could, watching the door nervously. "We've disturbed Sinful Steve, Eddy! We are doomed to spend the rest of our lives as stuffed trophies above the mantle of his fireplace!" Ed whimpered. Eddy furrowed his brows at Ed's ridiculous theory. "This isn't one of your stupid comic books, Ed! That thing wants to eat us! I don't even know what the heck it is, but it wants to kill!" Eddy barked. Ed cast a worried glance down at Eddy. "You don't think he–"
"NO! There's no way he's got Sock-head already! This is Double D we're talking about!" Eddy spat back.
Then, he thought about what he said. Double D, the wimpy kid who can barely lift a two-pound dumbbell for gym class. Double D, the one who can barely run down the cul-de-sac without growing tired. Double D, the pacifist. All of a sudden, Eddy became worried. Maybe he had too much confidence in his pal's whereabouts. No! Double D was fine, just fine! He had to be!
It was then, the creature finally quieted down. Its violent scratching died down to merely silence as the two Eds watched the door in fear. They waited for what felt like an eternity before the two began to move again. Eddy tip-toed up to the door, hesitantly unlocking it with the key and peering into the hallway. It would seem that the monster had finally left them alone.
"It's gone," Eddy sighed, glancing at Ed.
Ed approached his friend, gripping nervously at his shirt. "What are we gonna do, Eddy? The front door won't open…" Ed stated.
"I know… We'll figure something out," said Eddy. Though in all honesty, he had no idea what they could do. Finally, he walked out to the hallway, pausing only to glance back at Ed.
"Let's start by looking for Double D."
AN: Well, there you have it. If you didn't believe me before, believe it now that this story is not going to be all that funny/ cute/ sexy. I hope it's alright though, I'm not really a good writer. There's probably a shitload of mistakes in the later half so forgive me, I wrote it on a plane with Mac's version of Notepad, so the grammar is probably way off. If there are any I'll fix them asap. Thanks for reading :)
