Well, I'm back! Let's get into it, shall we? Review, vote, check out my Deviantart account and ENJOY!
Cole stared at the moon for a few seconds, thinking what to do next. Wonders...ghost's eye... what were the wonders referencing? Well, Cole had found the first eye in the garden, the garden that the Other Sensei made for him to lure him into the-WAIT.
Cole broke out in a full sprint towards the theatre, dashing down the stairs and almost ripping the door handle off of the front door.
He figured it out. The wonders. They were all the monuments in the Other World that impressed him. Monuments that the Other Sensei had created for his entertainment. Obviously, the theatre was one of them. He just hoped that an eye was there.
Classical music played as Cole slowly walked through the doors of the theatre. Cole recognised the song. It was the song that Kai and Lloyd had sung together when he had first visited, but it was twisted and warped, off key and just...weird. The theatre was empty, and the only light source was a spotlight shining on the stage.
Cole picked up a torch from the ground. He turned to it on, surprised to see that it worked. He slowly walked through the aisle, swinging his torch around. Something suddenly occurred to him. Where were the dogs? There was no way he could overlook one hundred black mutts with button eyes.
That's when he pointed his torch upwards and saw the dogs.
Blood red button eyes full of hate, the dogs hissed at him, flapping their newly formed bat wings and baring their razor sharp teeth. Cole gasped and quickly turned off the torch. The dogs wrapped themselves in their wings and became docile again.
Still staring at the dogs hanging from the ceiling, Cole almost didn't notice the stage curtains open. Cole turned around and saw a ginormous wrapped sweet on the stage. Well, judging by the size, it probably was a prop. It was suspended a few metres above the stage, hanging from a few wires.
Intrigued, Cole slowly climbed onto the stage towards the giant candy prop. He walked towards it until he was a few centimetres away, then pulled out the stone Kai and Lloyd gave him. He looked though the stone and saw it. A blue light, glowing dimly between two hands clasped together.
Cole cringed at the thought of what he had to do next, but he took a deep breath in and shoved his hand into the prop. He rooted around a little bit until his fingers curled around something lumpy.
He pulled out a clump of fingers, curled around each other in a slight mess of pink and green. He slowly peeled the fingers away, uncovering a pearl ring.
"Is this it?" Cole murmured. He went to go pick it up...
The fingers ensnared his hand, and Other Kai and Other Lloyd burst out of the prop. Their flesh had turned into red and green taffy, grotesquely melted into each other until they had nearly fused into one being. Naturally, Cole shrieked in terror and tried to pull his hand away.
"THIEF! GIVE IT BACK! THIEF! GIVE IT BACK!" Other Kai and Other Lloyd screamed in unison, trying to pull the ring out of Cole's hand.
Cole started to panic as Other Kai and Other Lloyd dragged themselves closer and closer towards him. Then he remembered the dogs.
Shaking, Cole quickly turned on the flashlight and pointed it towards the dogs. When they didn't stir, Cole waved the torch around like crazy, screaming and turning the flashlight on and off while she was at it.
Finally, the dogs got irritated and swooped down on Cole, teeth bared. Cole looked up at the dogs that were slowly gaining, then at Other Kai and Lloyd. In a final act of desperation, Cole yanked his hand out of Other Kai and Lloyd's grasp, sending himself tumbling off the stage.
The dogs crashed into Other Kai and Lloyd, who weren't very too happy to say the least. They shrieked and swatted at the bats as they got entangled in the sticky goop that was their bodies.
It took only a few seconds before everything went black and white again. What was once Other Kai and Lloyd was now a grey stone statue, and the theatre itself now resembled something out of a 1980's cinema.
Cole looked down at the pearl ring in his hand, and he heard another voice.
"Hurry on, Cole. His web is unwinding."
Cole placed the pearly eye in his pocket with the other eye.
"One to go." he mumbled.
I'm sorry for the short chapter! Anyway, thanks for reading, and I'll see you all next time!
