Chapter 9: Into the darkness

"Where am I?"

Phil softly asked himself as he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze went back and forth trying to look around and figure out the place he was in, but the things he saw was four plain white walls surrounded him. He tried to get up and looked around once more.

"Maybe I'm in Diz's prison." The name made him balled his hands into fists. "That traitor…!" He mumbled, but eventually managed to calm down… a bit.

"No time to think about that. I need to find the way out here and save Philey. I hope he's safe."

He tried to look for things that he could use in this roo- prison. But he couldn't, since it was empty. He looked to the left and saw a piece of big metal on the wall. He came to it and tried to pull it out, but unfortunately, it was attached tightly.

"Maybe this is a secret door. But how can I open it, I don't have anything." He looked closely and spotted two small holes at two edges of it. Seemed that his hands fitted them, he used all of his strength and pulled it out, and he did. There was a small tunnel, just like he thought.

"I'm coming, Philey." He crawled into it.


"Don't forget the gift we prepared for Philey, dear." Wendy gave Phred a bag and he took it.

"I'll be right back after I finish visiting them." He smiled and gave her a peck on the cheek, making her blushed slightly. "Goodbye, honey."

"Be back soon!" She waved as he closed the door. She turned around and went to the kitchen, preparing dinner. As she was cutting the vegetable, a thought came to her.

"We have been married for almost a year now…" She blushed at the next thought. "… and I haven't given him a child yet. I wonder when that will happen…"

She put the cut vegetable into the pot that was filled with boiled water and came to the fridge to grab some meat. But when she just opened it, someone from behind her grinned and knocked her off unconscious…


Phred walked along the street as he looked at the sunset, it was a beautiful sight and he always enjoyed it.

"It's just like the day when I proposed to Wendy. It had been so long ago…" He continued and suddenly, he thought of something. "I had always wanted a child. I wonder when Wendy will give me one." He shook his head slightly as he blushed.

"I guess that I have to wait." He said and he saw Smiley ran to the direction of the hill. He was going to wave to her when he saw tears in her eyes. He called.

"Smiley!"

She stopped and turned around. He ran to her. "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

She used a hand to wipe it out of her face. "Som… someone had… had… kidnapped Philey…"

"What!? You aren't joking, right?"

"I'm serious! This morning, I and Phil saw a note said that only Phil could come to the bottom of the hill in order to take him back, but he hasn't returned since then. I'm so worry, so I'm running to the hill to check."

"W… Who would do this?" He mumbled and put a hand on her shoulder. "Let's come together, Smiley. Going alone is quite dangerous."

"Okay…" Just right when she finished it, something spoke.

"Fool!"

And then they were knocked off. Consciousness left them and their vision slowly faded to black.


Meanwhile…

Phil landed his feet on the hard ground as he came out of the tunnel, dust flew up and he coughed. He looked around.

"I could tell that I'm in a cave, maybe."

He wandered around as he explored it, eyes looked back and forth. "This cave's dark. I almost couldn't see anything." His mind then once again came to Diz. "It's his entire fault! If I have a chance then I'll punch him so hard!"

He continued to walk. "But speaking of him, why did he seem a little different than before? Was it because of time?"

He slapped a hand on his face. "I'm an idiot. Why would I even think of that? Just find a way out of this damn cave and save Philey!"

He then saw something from the corner of his right. He quickly turned, but just to find ropes tied around a big rock. He looked closer.

"It seems like that it was ripped or cut off. I'll take it, just in case." He took it and continued. He looked down at the ground after a few minutes and saw footprints.

"Someone is here! I have to be careful." He then saw a shadow approaching him and he quickly hid behind a big rock nearby. It looked like a shadow of an alien.

'Is it Diz?' He thought. 'It must be him! There is no alien here beside him.'

As the shadow stopped for a moment, Phil came out of his hideout and pinned the alien on the ground. He was right about who was it.

"What the-"

"Diz! I finally found you!" He balled his hand into a fist while the other held the alien tightly. "I'm in control now! You have to pay for what you did!"

Right before Phil's fist could hit Diz's face, he spoke.

"Stop, Phil! I'm the real Diz!"


Dun dun dun dun! Did the last sentence make a big hit?

[your answer]

Okay then.

Well, I didn't plan this to happen, but it suddenly came to my head. So here it is!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter of "Riddle Alien". Bye bye!
