Heyo again, here is your next bit! Also, thank you so much for all the reviews, favs, and follows! It means a lot.
"Now what?" Simmons asked.
"We could ring the doorbell," Fitz suggested. Coulson shrugged in agreement and stepped up to the door. But it swung open of its own accord. The team stepped through, into a dark hallway. They could see almost nothing from the light coming through the door, except for a staircase in front of them.
"Wish we could see," Ward muttered. As soon as the words left his mouth, lights flickered on to reveal a large, open hall with many corridors leading off. Upstairs, they could see more halls branching off.
"How did the lights do that?" Simmons wondered.
"She knows we're here," Coulson replied. They glanced around for a nice place to start looking for her brain, when they spotted a small hallway off to the right. May started towards it, then stopped.
"Listen," She commanded.
Very faintly, they heard a light tapping noise.
"Let's go."
They set off. The hallway was long, and as they went down, the tapping got louder. Finally, they turned a corner and spotted Skye, leaning up against the wall, kicking her feet creating the tapping noise they heard. The sight of her, completely fine, shocked the whole team. Skye seemed to sense their presence, as she stopped tapping and opened her eyes. Her eyes lit up when she spotted them.
"Hello! Oh, cool, visiters. I never get visiters, in my hall."
"Um…does this lead anywhere?" Ward asked. Skye nodded, and a doorway shimmered into existence.
"There!"
"Thanks, we're just going through."
"What? No, you can't!"
"We need to save you, Skye." Coulson was getting impatient.
"Skye? No, I'm not Skye. I'm just the guardian for this hallway. I'm really new, so I don't know how to be trickstery, like everyone else."
"If you're not Skye, who are you?"
"I told you! I'm the guardian for this hallway."
"But your name."
"Oh…hang on." She spoke into and earpiece. "Skye? What's my name? Sure, name tags would probably help lots. Kay, thanks!" A name tag appeared on her shirt. Looking at it, she announced that her name was Lizzie.
"Uh..okay…Lizzie. We need to cure Skye."
"OH! Yeah, you need Skye for that. Hmm,why don't you go out and bang on the bottom step of the stairs, M'kay?
"Wait…" But Coulson's cry was ignored. Lizzie had gone back to banging the wall with her foot. They decided to do what she said, heading back out to the big hall. May placed her foot on the step and stomped three times. Ward felt a tap on his shoulder. Spinning around, he saw Skye—wait, no. Her name tag read April.
"Hey, I'm April, the tour guide. Whatcha need?"
"We need to find Skye," Ward replied.
"Sure. Believe she's in love department. Follow me!" April started climbing the stairs, the team trailing behind. They reached a hallway decorated with hearts and pink and purple balloons. Squealing and excited chatter was heard through the doorway at the end of the hall. April stayed at the threshold as the team entered—and stopped. The room was split, one half full of games and hoops and every competitive thing invented. The other half had a table, a bed, and two person-sized closets, except they had circular windows showing faces. In elegant, curling script a name was written on each closet:
Ward and Miles.
There was a girl, looking exactly like Skye except she was wearing pink, purple, and red frills, lace, bows…like it was Valentine's Day. Ward coughed uncomfortably and she turned. Her purple name tag read "Amor." As her eyes found Ward, her face crinkled in confusion.
"It's break time…you're supposed to stay—" But then her eyes found the rest of the team. "You…you're the real deal! OMG! OMG! This is like so exciting! Go on, play some games! Try and beat Miles records. Not very many records are set by him, you mostly take the cake!" She giggled. "You're cute when you're confused! Here, I'll show you!" She hit a button and the closet doors opened, letting out Miles and Ward. Except they weren't. Miles was stooped, his face messed up so he wasn't as cute as he normally was. And Ward was taller, handsomer, and slightly glowing.
"What the…" The real Ward trailed off.
"She changed them to show which one she liked better." The team turned to reveal a girl without a nametag. But a nametag was unneeded, there was just something about her that screamed Skye.
"Come on, I'll take you to the cure," She said.
Okay I need to get this up before the rerun but would any of you be interested in this after the new one comes out? REVIEW!
