Capitulo seven

AN: I would like to thank all you people who reviewed for my latest oneshot Eavesdropping Exposed. After reading Eavesdropping most of you wanted to know what happened behind the door. I never knew I could pull a trick like that on all of you. Hmmm...I should do it again sometime...maybe not.

-----------

Alice walked cautiously to the Winnebago in the dark. It would have been difficult for any person to navigate through these amazing halls, but she knew the landscape of the studio backwards and forwards. Handling her dim flashlight through the black as help, she quietly turned the knob from the door that led to the carpark. Also, she held hope that a zombie or demon won't jump out unexpectedly and eat her in 23 seconds flat. The cold ground of the carpark was felt right through her thin socks as she made her way to the entrance of Murdoc's wagon.

It wasn't rocking tonight. That was a good sign for her to see. Murdoc would be sleeping alone tonight, but his lights were still on and it was only 11 P.M. Typical for Murdoc. Usually he would stay up until the next morning and sleep in the late afternoon. Guess there wasn't much of any fun to do around tonight. Good for her. She tapped lightly on his door, not wanting to wake up 2D in the basement nearby. She heard a zipper fly up as the door gave way in the night. Murdoc was seen standing topless with only his long dark jeans and boots. Sexy.

"Alice? What are you doing up late?"

"I can't sleep. You're bothering me."

He raised an eyebrow, although it couldn't be seen through his bangs. "How am I, if your room is nowhere near here?"

She shook the thought off. He wasn't bothering her physically, but mentally. "Never mind. Just forget it." Both of them stood there a bit, not knowing what to do or say next, until Alice broke the very awkward silence. "So Murdoc...are you gonna let me in?"

The satanic bass player rolled his eyes and sighed. "This better be important love." He opened his door wider as Alice just dashed right in. "Hey! Hey! Not so fast now love!"

Roaming around, not like she really needed to, the place was in fact dirty, but warm. "So Murdoc, erm...how are you?" She kind of didn't know what to ask him right now.

"How am I? I was about to catch some Z's." He noticed that she seemed to be holding something. "What's that you got there?"

"Huh? My flashlight?"

"No. I mean that box."

"Oh. This is my mini radio. I brought it with me just in case you were a little down. I sometimes call it my mood box." She placed the radio down next to Murdoc where he sat as she sat along beside him.

"Mood box? Why?"

"Well it just so happens that every time I play a song it matches with whatever I feel or think of." She pushed the radio more closely towards him. "Go ahead. Give it a try."

"Do I have to?"

"Hmmm. Now that you've mentioned it...yes!"

Looking back and forth between Alice and the radio, he moved his hand to the knob of the radio and turned it. The first song spilled out from the tiny turn. It was a rap song.

It's gettin' hot in here. So take off all your clothes

I am, getting so hot; I wanna take my clothes off

Murdoc quickly changed the song station in a way that makes you say 'Are you okay Murdoc?' the song switched to a slow love song.

Throw your clothes on the floor

I'm gonna take my clothes off too

Murdoc changed the music again. An unpleasant rhythm and blues song was sounded then after.

And when I get this feeling, I want sexual healing

Sexual healing, is good for me, oh baby, makes me feel so fine, it's such a rush

Murdoc looked at the radio wide eyed. He swiftly changed it again, practically picking it up and about to smash it to bits. "Shut up you Goddamn piece o' shit!" He put the radio back down and turned it off. "Here Alice, I don't want to listen anymore."

She glanced to and fro from Murdoc and her mood box. Surprised at the results. Possibly shocked even. "Well then...how about a dance song?" She turned it back on and changed the station; another slow love song came up.

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight

I've never seen shine so bright

Alice stood up and took Murdoc greasy hands. "Dance with me Murdoc. Will you?"

"Absolutely not!" Murdoc snatched his hands away. "I will not humiliate myself in an hour of-"

"Pleeeeease!" She retook his hand in hers. "Just this once. For me. It might help me go back to bed."

He wanted to sigh and say no, but instead he smiled at her. "Okay love, just this once for you." He might as well try it.

There nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never forget, the way you look tonight

Alice wrapped her arms around Murodc's shoulders and rested her head on his bare chest. Murdoc forced a large lump in his throat to go down as he slowly moved his hands in a position on her waist.

I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
Lady in red, is dancing with me, cheek to cheek

She closed her eyes and slowly moved along with the soothing music. Relaxing herself. Murdoc tried his best, but he was kinda concentrating on two things at one time. On Alice, and not trying to step on her toes. They both danced for what seemed like a long while.

The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red, lady in red, my lady in...red

The song ended as the radio announced that was their last song for the night. It gave a proper conclusion before static was sounded. Murdoc stopped. "Uh. Alice...the songs over."

Alice woke up from her dance trance. "Hm. Oh, sorry Murdoc. I kinda dozed off. I felt relaxed there."

"Ready for bed now?"

She rubbed her eyes tiredly. "Yeah. Thanks." She turned off her radio. "You can keep it in here if you want to listen some more."

Calming down from his previous act with the radio he smiled. "Thank you love...Oh, and uh...one more thing." He went up to her and picked her up princess style. "You look terribly exhausted. How about I take you to your room?"

Alice leaned her head on his shoulder and yawned. "That's very nice of you. Thanks."

Taking his first few steps out of the Winnebago, he walked down the dark halls. Only having the bright moonlight as a proper guide. By the time he reached Alice's room she was out like a light. He opened her bedroom door, careful not to wake her up. He placed her softly on her bed and pulled the covers up to her neck. "Good night Alice." Of course no response except a slight snore from her nose. Murdoc was actually glad as he looked around, making sure that no one was looking he placed a tiny kiss on Alice's forehead before he left her room. "God Alice. If only I could subtract 20 years from my life right now." He began to make his way back to his winnebago.

Slightly opening one eye and removing her glasses, she smiled before returning back to sleep.

------------------

Around 2:30 A.M, the bright moonlight shone on Alice's face in her bedroom. The medallion still rested around her neck, she seemed to never take it off. The halls of Kong were quiet until the time the symbol on Alice's medallion shone in the moonlight. Her door slowly opened as a tiny dark figure crawled its way on top of her and growled. The low sound woke her up as she spotted two shinning red eyes staring at her. She put her glasses on to take a better look. A tiny demon was seated on her stomach, but this demon was not the same demon seen in the lobby or the bathroom, this one looked more dragon-like. Alice released a blood curling scream.

Noodle was the first to respond since her room was right beside Alice's. She leaped from her wooden framed futon and bashed her way into Alice's room. "Alice! What is wro-?" She noticed the tiny dragon demon growing in size length wise until it reached its full size of 23 feet long. Alice tried to run around her room, but it wasn't difficult for the dragon to grab her in its massive claws.

The Japanese teenager zoomed back to her room to retrieve her large orange crush arms. She attached the crushing swords to both of her arms, then returning to where the dragon was. She used her crush arms to slice the dragon's belly. It gave out a giant roar that echoed in the middle of the night. Russel was next to come by since his room was down the next hallway. He spotted Noodle and Alice on the floor. "Noodle! What the-HOLY!" He also saw the dragon that now started to bleed. Bright red blood shone on Noodle's crush arms.

"Noodle! What the hell is that!?" Russel exploded through all the dragons roaring.

"I don't know! Go get Murdoc and 2D!" Afterwards, Noodle karate-kick flipped on the dragons head and removed one of her crush arms to stab its skull. Where she stabbed it, a symbol began to glow and eerie green. She stopped for awhile to study it. It was the same symbol on Alice's medallion. The dragon managed to rip Noodle off its head to send her flying at the wall, causing her severe pain.

Murdoc, Russel, and 2D finally reached Alice's trashed room. Murdoc couldn't believe what he was seeing; Alice was scrambled on the floor. "Alice!" He ran over to get her, but the bloody dragon lifted her up and violently shoved him away. "Hey! Get off her!" Murdoc didn't quit, while 2D and Russel were caring for Noodle, Murdoc clutched onto the dragon's devil-like tail as it burst out the wall and into the night sky.

"Murdoc!" Russel called out behind him as the black dragon carried them away. The night sky started to changed to a blinding red light as the dragon brewed flames in the clouds. Murdoc began to climb up its tail, but the dragon felt him. It shook Murodc off wildly as Murdoc tumbled into his own landfill. It was a good thing that the zombies weren't active. The full moon shone that same symbol as on Alice's medallion as it opened up a vortex, allowing the dragon to enter. Once the dragon disappeared in the moon the sky turned to its normal color, but the vortex was still opened.

The other three members of the band were standing at the opening in the wall were the dragon flew out. Murdoc Laid in the trash filled ground gazing at the moon vortex as it slowly closed. "Alice..."

I am a bit disappointed that this story is not getting enough reviews, so I would like to thank the only people who helped me keep this story alive. Thank you to: Glasscase of Emotions, The 'Blur' Witch, and most of all MarqueeMoonGirl. You guys rock out loud! Once again, thank you for your support.
