I'd like to thank everybody for reading my stories and reviewing them. That's what keeps me going!
Emma continues the search for the Yutarvurian bats before they inject some of the millions of jack-o-lanterns with their saliva. Will she succeed?
I only own Emma Long, everything else is Disney's property.
The Pumpkin That Ate Everyone Chapter Three
Emma, Jake, and Haley Long stared at the mass of black beneath them. The cats were at least as big as Jake and Emma, if not bigger.
"Emma, why don't you go after the Yutarvurian bats? We'll take care of this," Jake told his twin sister. Emma wasn't usually one to back out on a fight, but even she was daunted by the prospect of fighting the giant black cats. She gulped and nodded.
"I'll take Fu Dog with me," she told her siblings and they nodded. She picked up Fu Dog from the rooftop and was just about to head off when Trixie shouted after her.
"Hey! What're we supposed to do?" Emma stopped and frowned.
"Just stay there for now, okay?" Trixie sighed as Emma lifted off and soared into the seemingly endless NYC.
Somewhere near the Empire State Building-
"Fu Dog, are you sure they're around here?" Emma asked. Fu Dog frowned.
"Well, no. But I think that they would come here. Yutarvurian bats really like tall buildings."
"But they also like pumpkins! I think they had to have gone after the jack-o-lanterns," Emma pointed out. Fu Dog opened his mouth, but Emma interrupted.
"Know what? I'm going to check that haunted house," she said and veered in for a landing, Fu Dog holding on tightly. When she had landed in a discreet place, Fu Dog jumped off and Emma turned human again. Emma peered around the corner. The haunted house seemed deserted.
"Okay, Fu Dog. I'm going in. Do you want to come?" she asked. Fu Dog shook his head.
"No, no, I'll be just fine watching you go in there. I'm perfectly fine waiting outside." Emma pondered Fu Dog's immediate refusal, but decided to let it be and entered the haunted house.
It was just like she had thought it would be. There were cobwebs, obviously fake, the floor creaked beneath her, and the only source of light were flickering candles. She sighed. Dimly lit areas were bad for her eyes. She carefully transformed her hand into a dragon claw and blew a fireball into it. There. That was much better. Her eyes adjusted to the oddly lit place. She had just turned a corner when she heard footsteps behind her. She turned quietly. And practically laughed.
"A mummy?" she asked, doubling over in laughter. Then her laughter died as her special oracular abilities showed that this was no costume. This was a real mummy. Still, it was mildly hilarious. There was even the trailing end of the wrappings. No doubt if she pulled that, the mummy would unwrap and fall to dust.
"Dude," she said quietly. The mummy stopped.
"Yeah?"
"First of all, a haunted house doesn't seem like the right place. If you were trick-or-treating, you could get some candy. Secondly, you should probably tuck the trailing end of toilet paper or whatever it is into your other wrappings. If someone pulled that, you would probably fall apart." The mummy was silent.
"And you are?" it finally asked.
"I'm Jake Long's twin sister, you know, the Co-American Dragon." The mummy nodded.
"In that case, thank you, Emma. I'll be sure to go trick-or-treating." Emma could barely suppress her grin as the mummy lumbered off.
"Now to continue in the oh so spooky haunted house," Emma muttered to herself. She continued walking along the corridors. Finally she came upon a mirror maze. She entered it.
"Cool," she murmured at the sight of all the other Emmas staring back at her. She traveled along easily until she came to an open area.
"Welcome, Huntsgirl," said a familiar voice. Emma spun around.
"Huntsmaster!" The Huntsman began to laugh as Emma screamed a scream of pure terror that echoed around the mirror maze.
How will Emma respond to her previous master? And how will Fu Dog respond when he hears Emma's scream?
