Summary:Her whole life she has been treated like a porcelain doll, that even the littlest thing would break her, what would happen of she was actually turned into a porcelain doll?
AN: Chapter 3, yippee, I am sorry about the fact that it is so short but I will try to make the next one longer. Now I have 2 shout outs, One to Campionsayn for all the great criticism, and the second to Gem-of-scath for all of the encouragement and I hope both of you two like this chapter
Chapter 3: Hexy
Once Brin had the doll in his grasp he held it like a baby and slowly rocked it back and forth as Michelle demonstrated. He looked down at it and thought that it was the spitting image of Phantom Girl. The doll's hair was black that ended at her shoulder blades, pale skin that was in polar contrast to her hair. She had grey eyes, grey lipstick, two white barrettes keeping her hair out of her face; topped off with a black dress with short sleeves and a long skirt.
His contemplation was cut short when the doors opened to the kitchen again-but this time it was a very tired Black Rose and Aqua Lass. Black Rose had her hands on her knees and Aqua Lass was leaning heavily on her. After a prolonged moment they caught their breath, each taking a deep inhale, then they looked at the scene before them and their eyes stretched wide, almost comically, when they saw Brin.
"THE DOLL!" Both exclaimed, pointing to Timberwolf, a shocked expression on his face as well as the others in the room, all very confused at their appearance, their volume and their panic.
The girls then saw that everyone was looking at them, extremely freaked out, and knew they had to think of something and quickly.
"Hey guy's, what's up?" Venus tried to ask casually, standing up straight with her right hand on her hip as Merliah adjusted the same straight back as well, but crossed her arms.
"We could ask you the same question," Ninjini spoke, inquisitive, slowly raising an eyebrow. And at that, Merliah had an idea that would get the attention off of them.
"Why are you guys holding dolls?" Merliah asked, smiling with a kind of intent that went practically unnoticed, pointing a finger at the boys; straight digit moving from one boy onto the next.
They each looked at the doll they were holding, Kell-El put his in the wagon, Star boy and Chameleon boy put theirs on the counter top; all of them acting like they just noticed they were holding hot coals or even excrement.
However, Timberwolf still cradled his, not minding in the least bit.
Merliah sighed at this. They needed to fix Phantom Girl before someone found them out.
She looked beyond Brin and saw that there was a batch cookies in the oven and an evil smile formed on her face; she slowly made her left hand into a fist.
"Mind telling us why you guys came in here screaming about the dolls?" Kell-El asked still bemused by their entrance.
"Um, well, um," Black Rose stalled, trying to think of an explanation and was failing miserably. Ninjini narrowed her eyes at her friend but they widened once they saw Merliah slowly making a fist. Before she could say anything, the stove was on fire, blazing and everyone turned to the look with a surprised expression from everyone, except Aqua Lass.
Timberwolf, actually used to this sort of thing in the kitchen, gently put down the fragile china figure and grabbed the fire extinguisher next to the fridge to start putting the flames out.
While Timberwolf was putting out the fire, Black Rose took this distraction to run up to the island, quickly but carefully grabbing the doll and rushed out the door with Merliah following as they scurried out; to which everyone saw except for Brin who just finished putting the fire out.
He let out a breath of exasperation and turned back to the group, and blinked at the empty spaces the two girls had been before he'd been occupied.
"Where did they go?" He asked, no need in clarifying who they were.
"I don't know where, but they took the doll you were holding," Michelle said, pouting a little.
"Come on, Michelle," Ninjini said walking over to pick her up and set her to the floor, but remained crouched down, holding her extremely tiny hands in her own to say: "We will just go get it back and ask what was wrong."
"Thank you, very much," she responded then turned around, keeping Ninjinis right hand in her left as they walked towards the door and Ninjini stood up but had to bend a little while walking so she wouldn't lift Michelle off of the ground and answered back: "You're welcome, very much."
Once the doors closed behind the girls all the guys just stared at it, dumbfounded, because they were very confused by the entire situation and had no idea what to do. After a minute of just blinking and staring at the door, Cham was the first to regain his sense and asked, "Should we follow them?"
The others just glanced at him then at each other. trying to decide what to do.
"Maybe we should. It is better for us to stop any possible chaos, isn't that right, Cosmic boy?" Star Boy speculated aloud in much the way one would actually make a statement, to which they all gave a head nod and went after the girls.
Running down the halls by means of avoiding any and all obstacles in their way, to anyone else it seemed like they were running around the hallways aimlessly, more-so to Merliah because Venus was leading the way and she had no idea where they were going but there was indeed a destination.
They rounded another corner and Venus went for the first door to the right, putting in a code with her right hand and holding the Phantom Girl doll in her left, Merliah realizing they were at Venus's room.
"Put in the code. Put in the code! PUT IN THE CODE!" Merliah hissed, getting louder each time she started a new round of the four words.
"I am putting it in as fast as I can!" Venus returned in a panicked tone. A moment later and the door opened, both rushing in.
Venus gently put Phantom Girl on her desk while Merliah made to open the door on their side only. Once she finished, she stood up straight, tossed her head backwards, letting out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, now no one can get in, we are in the clear," Merliah said and turned to her friend who was looking through her bookcase of the type of reading access that had practically been obsolete for a long time.
"Hexy, Hexy, He-e-x-xy," Venus called while continuing to look for the right book. Merliah walked over to Venus's bed and got down on her hands and knees and lifted the comforter to search on her own, saying: "Heeexxy, Hexy-Hex, Hex-you under here?" And once she lifted it enough, a brown rectangular object launched very quickly out from under the bed and Merliah just barely managed to lift her head and get out of the way as the object flew into the middle of the room, floating there at Venus's face level.
She turned from her search area and a smile came upon her face finding what she was looking for. The object was a big book, the length of Timberwolf's forearm and the width of Ninjini's katana. Its color was a dark brown, no designs on it whatsoever. If you saw him on a library shelf in Superman's time, you would think he was just a boring old book, but Venus knew him as an enchanted book that was very kind and helpful to her-a really good friend.
"There you are, Hexy," Venus exclaimed joyfully, turning her whole body to face Hex and Merliah, who was now getting up and brushing herself of lint and minor debris hardly worth acknowledgement.
"Okay, now that you're here Hexy, we need your help." Merliah said with slight urgency in her voice. Hex was glowing and it was getting brighter and dimmer as his way of communication, which they understood through all their time with him.
"Look, I sorta, kinda, accidentally, may have, turned Phantom Girl into a doll and I need you help to change her back, please," Venus explained, twiddling her fingers as she spoke the synonyms for 'might have', then dropped her arms to her sides for the rest; ending with her clasping her hands together in a praying motion with big puppy dog eyes. Hex glowed again, to which Venus smiled brightly and clapped her hands together in joy.
But her little happy celebration was cut short when there was a knock at the door followed by: "Venus, Merliah, open up."
The two girls faced each other with terrified expressions, 'What do we do?'
AN: Done yeah, like I said before I will try to make the next one longer and I will try to update tomorrow or this weekend and I have school off Monday so extra work time so R&R and I love you all good night (Mic drop and exits with a moonwalk)
