This will be my last chapter before I graduate high school! Yay! I hope to get working on this story a bit more after I get out of school and after I get through my dance recital the week after. I am amazed at the response I'm getting from this. Thank you so much for the reviews! :)
Chapter 11
Lilo wanted to go right away once we got back to our dorm. I told her we needed to rest and get something to eat. I had no idea how long we would be in there. Trust me, their food was questionable last I visited. I also reminded her that we had classes the next day. The least we could do was attend the first day. Lilo reluctantly agreed.
The next evening, after a long day of introducing ourselves to teachers, we finally shooed Andy away as we grabbed food and headed back to the dorm. He looked a little hurt that we didn't want to eat with him. I had completely forgotten about the kiss until that moment. No wonder he was so upset that I was completely ignoring him. No time to worry about that at the moment though.
"Lilo stuffed herself with food as I packed us each a backpack filled with whatever we might need in the monster world. We needed to be prepared just invade the prototype didn't work or we would have to stay long than originally thought.
"Are you okay, Boo?" Lilo grabbed her backpack and gave me a concerned look. Yeah, I told her that I had gone and met monsters there, but I never told her why I never went back. I didn't tell her about the asylum or any of the treatments I had there. I held back my panic attack the best I could.
"I'm fine." The smile on my lips was a little too forced. I hoped she didn't notice.
We both turned to the closet door. The screen lit up at the touch of a button on the device. There were three options.
One was a typing option that Jeff had explained. Another was a door index so if needed to look it up. The last was door history.
I picked the latter and immediately the logo for Monsters Inc popped up.
It was the last place that door opened to.
"Open the door, Lilo." The Hawaiian nodded and grabbed the knob.
The glimpse from the other day had been like a dream. Stepping into the scare floor brought back so many memories. The nostalgia of the whole place was overwhelming.
It was sunrise in the realm. The light was just starting to creep through the large windows brands lined the walls and desks across from the door holders were strewn with paper the map was lit up and the timer was stopped on the wall at 0:00. There wasn't a monster in sight.
I briefly thought back to Jerry, the floor manager. I wondered if he still worked at the company.
"Wow." Lilo had followed me through the door, a supply closet by the looks of it.
"Yeah, let's go find someone that can help us." Lilo nodded as I started walking down the floor. Hopefully Roz would know what to do. She knew everything she'd probably know where Stitch was in the first place.
Her window was closed.
Did she still work there?
The girls were about to round the corner when voices stopped them.
"He's not a monster in our sense. I have sources that say he was made by other life forms in the human world."
Lilo gasped. "Is that Randall?" She whispered to me.
I couldn't forget that voice for years.
With a quick nod, I pulled her back into the scare floor, but it wasn't before those squinted eyes connected with mine. He reached his arm out as if he was going to grab me.
"Run!" I warned, dragging her along. "Get back to the door!" Lilo obeyed and we were soon flying back towards the supply closet. Randall follows closely behind, the rest of his friends right behind him. One grabbed on to my shirt, tearing a piece from it as I slammed the supply closet door shut behind us.
I turned off the power for the device and hoped that would prevent them from coming through.
