Peanut was a little shaken visibly, ''Wow...I'm still worried about Ki~I mean Rook and Fox." he said to Grape and Max. She nodded, "We, need to get out of here...I told you not to be stupid." she said to Peanut. The mutt was a little shocked, "What? Me?" he pointed to Grape. "You followed Fido, Joey and Bino to Rook's house. You knew about him!" Grape sighed, "Fine, I'll give you that." They continued walking down the sidewalk towards Tarot's house at a fast pace. Max huffed, "I wonder what's keeping Tarot so long." he said. Peanut heard him, "What do you mean?" he asked curiously. Max became a little nervous, "Well, she said that she's going to be next to...Marvin's house..." he said. Grape scratched her head, "Why his house?" Max shrugged, "Something to do with Zach." Max suggested.
They headed there to see if Tarot was there, and to their surprise she actually was. "Hey, guys about time!" she yelled. Peanut nodded, "We finally got back together!" Tarot then shushed him. "Zach's up in his room." she told them. They climbed the house by roof. Peanut spied around the room, "Coast's clear." They opened the window and got inside his room. "Oh, god...it's so goth." Grape grumbled. The room was almost completely black and white, there was a few posters of death metal, and there was a pair of handcuffs sitting on the dark red chair. Not surprisingly Zach's opposite prefers darkness and isolation. "Let's get this over with." Max said. Tarot scanned the room with her magic and pointed under the bed. "There's the spells." she pointed. Peanut ran to it and collected the book. "Right-o, let's go!" they got out of the room. Grape then thought of something and went to the living room window.
There was Tiger Arbelt, peacefully slumbering on his couch. And his brother Marvin was knitting a sweater smiling on the lazy-boy. The owner was busy cooking something, but Zach was nowhere to be found. "Grape?" Peanut yelled. She left the window and went to join them. "Did you see them?" Grape said amazed. "Normally, Tiger would be threatening Marvin with choking and Zach would be scared of that psychopathic." Peanut lifted his ears, "Wow, it's probably because Bino isn't the jerk he's back home." he said. Max nodded in agreement, "This Bino would be a better brother." he thought. "Uh-oh." Tarot said. They saw Max's counterpart prowling the alleyway, he looked tired. "Maybe, he knows where Zach is." Peanut suggested. Grape slapped him, "Don't you remember how dangerous he is?" she said. Peanut nodded, "But, why did you slap me?" he said almost tearing Grape sighed, "I'm sorry, I just had to jolt your brain."
Max smiled, "I will have I better chance." Tarot shook her head, "I don't think so." Max went anyways to his counterpart. "Eh...YO! BRO!" he yelled to dark! Max. Grape facepawed. Max gave his signature smile to his dark side, "Do you know where Zach is?" he asked. Dark! Max smiled darkly giving Max the shivers. "Maybe, he's down at the lake." he said to the black cat. Max nodded, "Right." he started to leave when dark!Max laughed. "And where are you going?" Max kept walking, "None of your business." he said to the white cat. He shivered as soon as he came to the gang, "He's creepy, let's leave, please." he said. Tarot nodded, "Down to the lake then." she exclaimed before they setted off.
They arrived at the lake and saw the counterpart of Zach sitting next to an oak tree. "Hey Zach!" Peanut yelled out. The rabbit yelped in surprise, "Gah! What the hell?!" he yelled. The rabbit had a much darker fur tone, and his collar was black leather instead of his regular collar. "Go away!" he said. Max and Grape pounced on him, "You're coming with us!" Grape told Zach. "What?! Let me go!" he struggled against the two cats but couldn't budge. "We need you!" Max said to him dragging. "Are you kidnapping me? I'm going to call the police!" Zach threatened. Grape gave a short chuckle, "Like you'll be able to."
Grape set him down on a park bench, "Where's you key?" she interrogated him. "I don't know!" Zach yelled. Grape grinned, "I'm admittedly...a expert in getting things out of people..." she showed off her claws to Zach's horror. The rabbit gasped and really squirmed around, "N-NO!" Max shook his head, "Ah, Grape. Down it a little?" Grape smiled nervously, "Right." she retracted them. Grape then grabbed Zach's collar and looked straight in the eye. "Really...well then I think you won't mind if your collar was dyed...red." Zach gulped, "FINE! IT'S IN THE BASEMENT!" he cried. "And where's Tarot?" Grape then demanded. "WHAT?! I DON'T KNOW!" Zach yelled. Grape got a claw out and lightly scratched his nose. "AH!" the pain really set him off. His legs kicking out, "LEAVE ME ALONE!" Max and Peanut had to force him down on the bench. "ACK! Hurry up, Grape. He's stronger then I thought." Peanut said to her. Grape gave a evil glare towards Zach, "Tell me...now." she whispered. Zach's weakness of fear was finally fully exploited. "F-Fine! I'll...show you."
They walked together while Grape kept a close eye on Zach in case that he tries to run. "One step out of line, and I'll personally serve rabbit stew out of you." she threatened. Zach tensed up, "I'm telling Dad!" he yelled. But he didn't try anything. They eventually got to the same house they arrived in. Though this house was open and free. "TAROT!" Peanut yelled into the house. "Hello, Peanut..." voiceless words formed in his head. He looked around, "Tarot?" he called for her. "Come in alone..." the same voice commanded. Peanut's mind blindly followed the words into the house without anyone noticing his trance.
The mutt entered the now pitch black room, "Hello?" Peanut called into the still air. Soon a dog came into view. "Tarot?" the Pomeranian's fur was the same. Though her eyes were dark green and hazed instead of glowing. Another dog came next to him. "AHH! It's you!" he pointed in shock towards his counterpart. His smile spoke of murder. "Welcome to my mate's house." he gave an affectionate kiss on Tarot's forehead. Peanut scratched his head, "Mate?" he asked. dark!Peanut smiled, "It's basically saying, me and her go beyond snuggling." he told his counterpart. Peanut still didn't really get what dark!Peanut meant. He sighed then came to whisper to him what he meant which made Peanut blushed in extreme shock and embarrassment.
dark!Peanut then gave a very forceful punch right into Peanut's gut which instantly knocked him out. dark!Peanut nodded towards Tarot, "Come on, we need to find the others." he said as he dragged down Peanut into the basement. She smiled sweetly, "Got it hon." she assured her mate before going outside. He sighed, "You caused a lot of trouble." he said to Peanut.
