The last chapter got everyone in a jumble, I bet. ;3

Well, this one may be a tad bit short. Maybe not. I'll see how far I can get. It's still early, and Slenderman is stalking me in my sleep. Mofo ain't gonna get me, not even for my bag of bacon that I got from Bacon Island. I own only my bag of bacon, as well as the OC's that I originally created. Nada belongs to MonstarzGirl.

Elise's POV:

'Ouch... My head hurts.. Why does the floor feel so cold? Wait, where's Marie and Kari?'

I shifted around, coming to from being unconscious. I heard some babbling and gibberish coming from the other end of the cold room where I was, and lifted my head to see who it was.

To my relief, I saw Marie sitting in the far corner, playing with her blanket happily. She started to sneeze a little bit, still feeling her fuzzy and warm purple blanket.

Lifting myself up from the metal floor, I crawled over to the small girl, who sneezed then giggled when she saw me up and about. "Eli!" I smiled with comfort as I scooped her up into my arms, knowing I wasn't by myself here. Holding her close, I examined my surroundings, curious to know where we currently are.

"Oh, it's so cold in here! I wonder where we are?" I saw that we were held inside a large holding cell with large bar doors that were locked. From the outside, there was a long white corridor, but it looked like it went around the cell. I felt a headache coming on as I tried to remember what exactly happened right after I called Hale.

Then the memories came flooding back.

Flashback:

I waited for the call to go through as I tried to keep myself calm and Marie. The poor girl was having a sneezing fit, so I had to silence her sneezes with my other hand while I help my cell phone.

Finally, someone picked up, and I knew I was put on speaker from the echo coming from the other side.

"Hey, Elise. Is everything okay?" I heard Hale asking me, feeling slightly relieved. However, I heard the large footsteps coming out into the hallway, giving me the impression that the alien must have heard me and is now looking for us.

Growing frantic, I cried quietly over the phone, panic evident in my voice. "Hale! You guys have to come back here now!"

Marie gave out another sneeze and started to fuss about my hand being over her mouth. I hushed her, hoping the intruder didn't hear her. Hale must have noticed the fear in my reply and responded with great concern.

"What's going on, Elise? Is something wrong?" The fear I felt grew intense as I heard the thundering footsteps coming to a halt in front of the bedroom door. Knowing I was going to get caught eventually, I gathered up my courage and tried to tell him my warning. "No! Hale, you have to come back! Kari is-"

I froze and dropped my phone as the closet door was ripped wide open and then landed with a crunching thud on the floor. I think I heard Hale faintly on the other end of the phone, but my eyes were frozen on the figure in front of me. Marie gripped my shirt tightly, whimpering at the sight of the giant.

His red eyes glowed with anger and had a sadistic glint to them. I then saw Kari hanging limply under his arm and let out a scream as he reached out to grab us. Then, my entire world went black.

End Flashback

"So, I guess we must be inside that brute's place then? But the real question is where? Wait, where's Kari?"

I glanced around, and took Marie with me as we got up to check outside the bars. To my luck, I saw another cell adjacent to ours, and inside it was Kari!

"Kari! Kari, are you alright?" She didn't respond, as she looked like she was still out cold. Marie sneezed again, cooing without a care. I touched her forehead and it seemed that her fever went down drastically, to my great relief at the very least.

But the peaceful silence soon ended as I heard a heavy door coming from the left of the curving corridor opening. Hearing loud footsteps, I held Marie close to my chest and put on my bravest face. To my nightmare, it was the same cruel alien from before.

"I see you're awake. The brat was never asleep, but she can't talk much, from what I'm aware of." He sneered evilly at me, pleased that I was intimidated.

"What do you want with us?"

He let out a loud, maniacal laugh and let out a deep puff from his cigar. I covered Marie's mouth to keep her from breathing in the toxic smoke.

"It's not you that I'm interested in. You're just an inconvenience, and the little brat too. What I want is simple though: revenge; and I plan to get it without any hindrances."

I furrowed my brows. "Not sure I follow.." He chortled. "My name is Swackhammer, in case she or her brother failed to mention." He pointed to Kari's unconscious form. "And to make things clear, I suppose I'll let you in on my little scheme, since you both won't be around much longer. I was once a director of an amusement park called Moron Mountain, and as you may have already known, I wanted to make the Looney Tunes my slaves.

However, that brat and her stupid brother won a basketball game against my used-to-be minions, and turned them against me! So, I was sent back, and found that my entire park could no longer function and was soon demolished. But that didn't stop me; oh no! Using a special kind of technology, I created this amazing fortress and even better: a particle beam cannon that can destroy your precious home planet!"

My eyes went wide with absolute horror. He was planning to kill us all! "So.. that explains why you were dormant for six years.. you were planning all this from the very beginning!" We looked over to see Kari struggling to get up as she finally came to her senses. Out of nowhere, Swackhammer pulled out a remote control of some sort and pressed a small yellow button on it, causing Kari to get somehow electrocuted. She screamed with the utmost pain and fell limply back down on the ground. I cried in terror, completely horrified at his inhumane action. "Kari! Kari! NO! What did you do to her, you monster!"

He growled venomously at me, baring his fangs. "She's out cold. She's a part of my plan, so I can't have her lollygagging about, can I?"

I held Marie as close as possible, glaring at him. "What does she have anything to do with your plan to blow up Earth?"

He leered in closer with the most psychotic grin I have ever seen. "That will come after I destroy all of your other friends; including my ex-henchmen. As for her.. well, heh heh... I have other things in store for her... she's grown into quite a pretty young thing, don't you agree?"

I spat at him, causing him to flinch back unexpectedly. "You're twisted! You're vile! I hope Hale gets here soon and beats you to a pulp for even thinking such a despicable atrocity, especially about his sister!" I screamed at him, gently rubbing Marie's back as I heard her crying softly.

He grimaced, but then smirked cynically. "I'll be expecting that, and when he does.. They're history; and Kari is just the bait I need! But seeing as how you're of some importance now, along with the little bugger.. that's makes it more the merrier!"

He turned around and started to make his leave. "I'll come back later for her. Once they get here, I need her set up in my trap to lure her brother and all your wacky friends in; and trust me.. The last thing you will hear from your petty boyfriend is his dying breath, screaming his heart out for you and his sister."

I whimpered as he slammed the door loudly, locking it with a loud click. I fell back onto the ground and started to cry bitterly. Marie looked up at me, her eyes searching. I chocked on my sobs, squeezing my eyes shut and holding on to Marie for comfort. "Hale.. everyone.. please be safe.. and find us soon."
