Chapter 2

After Winnie showed her new mouse friend, Jerry, around the Hotel, she takes him to her parents, asking them if she can keep him. Unfortunately, it looks like Mom and Dad are against the idea of having a mouse for a pet.

"I'm sorry, Winnie, but the answer is no," said Wanda, Winnie's mother.

"Aw, why not?" Winnie whined.

"For starters; your brothers will eat him without hesitation," Wanda responded,

"I'll protect him,"

"That's a lot of responsibility," Wayne, Winnie's father, chimed in.

"I'll feed him, and clean up after him,"

"I'm sorry, but no means no,"

"But..."

But nothing, take him outside now, young lady!" Wanda said, firmly,

"Yes, ma'am," Winnie hung her head down in defeat, she really wanted to keep the mouse. She wipes her eyes and walks away.

"Wait for me, Winnie," said Dennis, trying to follow his sad friend.

"No! I'm going alone," Winnie said, with her voice breaking. Jerry didn't realize how much she really wanted him.

"Sweetie, Winnie's a little bit upset right now. Why don't you go see if your Grandpa needs any help,"

"Okay," Dennis said. He wanted to cheer his friend up, but he didn't know how.

"Are you Okay?" Jerry asked. Winnie stayed silent.

"This is gonna be one tearful goodbye," Jerry thought.

Meanwhile, Tom and Razzaroo searched around the forest. Razzaroo disguised himself as a cat to not bring attention to nosy bystanders.

"Are you sure you know where you're going, Thomas?" Razzaroo asked. Tom nodded, but to tell the truth, he didn't know where he was going.

"I'm beginning to think you see me as some kind of fool!" Razzaroo was getting angry. But lucky for Tom, they just so happen to find the Hotel.

"Ta-da?" Tom tried his best not to make Razzaroo angry.

"Ah, the Hotel. I can wait to meet my dear old friend Drac again. I heard he has a grandson now," Razzaroo said with an evil smile. Tom notice this and gulped.

"Why don't we play with them for a little bit, shall we? I'm sure they'll love to see the kitty cat," Razzaroo walked up to the Hotel, Tom followed. Whatever Razzaroo had planned, Tom made sure he doesn't get in his way, he'll just watch, hoping that whatever happens to them doesn't happen to him.

Meanwhile, outside the Hotel in a graveyard, Winnie's getting ready to say goodbye to her mouse friend.

"I'm sorry you couldn't stay with me Jerry, we would have been great friends," Winnie said sadly. Jerry felt sad, he kind of liked Winnie, even though she smelled like she hasn't taken a bath in mouths. Before Jerry could walk away, Winnie picked him up again.

"It doesn't have to be goodbye, you can visit me! I'm always going to this Hotel, I practically live here!" Winnie's smile had finally come back, Jerry smiled too. It's like the world had brightened up again.

Inside the Hotel, it was just complete silence, not one guest made a sound. Razzaroo stands in front of the Hotel's entrees, with an evil smile on his face. The guest doesn't seem to notice Tom, but for his sake, that's a good thing.

"What's he doing here?" asked an angry Mavis.

"Uh, who's this guy?" asked Johnny, not really up to date on what's going on.

"I'm glad you asked, my human parasite. I am Lord Razzaroo. I am the most powerful being in the universe," Razzaroo bragged.

"That's not true, we all know who the real powerful one is," Dracula said firmly. Razzaroo laughed.

"Oh, don't tell me you mean Raira, I've cursed her. Only a chosen monster can break it, and none of you are that," Razzaroo said. There was more anger than fear.

"Mommy, daddy, what's going on?!" cried Dennis.

"Go to your room, sweetie, let me and daddy handle this," Marvis said in a calm, smothering voice. She didn't want to scare Dennis.

"Wait, you mean we have to fight this demon from Hell?!" Johnny shouted out.

"Shut up, you're scaring Dennis, " Mavis scolded him. Razzaroo laughed again.

"Don't be silly, my human parasite, there's no need to fight me," he said in a calming tone, similar to Mavis.

"Oh, really?" Johnny said, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Yes, there is no need to fight, because I've already won!" Razzaroo pulls out a dark, magical orb. Dracula knew actually what this was.

"Everybody run!" Dracula yells. Everyone begins running, except for Wayne and Wanda.

"Wait! Where's Winnie?!" Wanda cried. Before anyone can respond, Razzaroo slams the orb to the ground. Everything goes blank.

"We'll have tea parties, we'll go swimming and-" Winnie was explaining to Jerry about all the fun things they were going to do, but then she and Jerry noticed a dark red light coming out of the Hotel. This made Winnie worried.

"Something's not right, let's go!" Winnie cried as she picks up Jerry and runs inside the Hotel. Inside, the two made a horrible discovery; the Hotel lobby was completely empty, not a monster in sight. The two checked every room, even the ones Winnie weren't allowed in, but no luck. They eventually returned to the lobby, where Winnie began freaking out.

"Mom?! Dad?! Dennis?!" Winnie cried out, tears began forming in her eyes. Jerry was getting worried,

"Where did everyone go?" Jerry asked.

"I-I don't know!" Winnie was pretty much sobbing at this point, she was worried about Dennis and her parents, she was even worried about her brothers.

"I-I can't believe this! This isn't happening!" Jerry tried to confer the werewolf, but nothing seems to work.

"Do not cry, little one," a heavenly voice spoke out.

"Je-Jerry? Was that you?" Winnie asked, still crying. Jerry shakes his head. Just then, a bright light filled up the room. An angel figure appears. She has large golden hair and wears a sky blue dress. Jerry and Winnie are in complete awe.

"Don't be afraid. I am Raira, the protector of this galaxy," The angel says.

"Do you know what's going on? What happened to my friends and family?!" cried Winnie, with tears still in her eyes.

"It's my brother, Razzaroo, he's responsible for all of this," Raira said, "He's doing this just to get his sick kicks."

"What did he do?" asked Jerry.

"He sent them all to the Shadow Realm, where they will spend the entirety of their life there," Rarira explained. This made Winnie cry again.

"You're the protector of the galaxy, can't you do something?!" yelled Jerry.

"Razzaroo cursed me, I'm powerless against him," Raira hung her head in shame, feeling bad for the young werewolf. "However, you can help break my curse," This got Winnie's attention.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"According to the philosopher, two small warriors will break the curse of Razzaroo, and help defeat him. You two are the small warriors!" Raira said, raising her voice at the last sentence. Jerry was shocked.

"You're telling me that we're the only two that can defeat this Razza- whoever the heck this guy is? That doesn't make any sense!" Jerry shouted.

"I don't care if it makes sense or not, I want to save my friends and family. You're more than welcome to go home!" Winnie shouted at Jerry. This caused the mouse to back up a little bit.

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice, you have to go with the werewolf. It's your destiny," Raira explained to Jerry, who stayed silent.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you, Jerry," Winnie said, picking Jerry up and hugging him.

"I'll help you two out along the way. I'll start by giving you the supplies you need for your journey," Raira poofs up a magic bag, filled with food, bandages, and other items, the most important item was a map.

"What's with the map?" Winnie asked.

"You two must venture through an island to find a magic stone and bring it to a temple, where you'll place the stone to break the curse," Rarira explained, showing the two a fake model of the stone.

"How do we get to the island?" Jerry asked.

"The Ghost Pirates, they're really friendly! I know exactly where they are!" Winnie shouted picking up the bag, as well as placing Jerry on top of her head. "Problem is, we have to cross a really dangerous part of the woods," Jerry gulp after hearing this, but he knew he had to suck up his fear.

"Good luck on your journey, I'll be watching over you.," Raira said with a smile.

Winnie took a deep breath, "Well, are you ready, Jerry?"

Jerry also took a deep breath, "Yeah, let's do this,"

"Then let's go, I'll fight off any baddies that try to attack us!" Winnie said, pretending to fight someone. Raira laughed at this. The two ran out of the Hotel, officially starting their journey.

"Good luck, you two," Raira said, before disappearing into thin air.
