Integra was
sitting down with her head looking onto her lap, every now and then
she would let out a snort of laughter, she tried to hold it in
Pip
and Seras were staring in shock at the wall ahead of them
Alucard
was staring into the corner of the room with the biggest grin on his
face
Integra let out a snort
Sarah and Ella were sitting
together on the couch
Sarah sighed softly and whispered to Ella
"We're never going to live this one down are we"
Ella sighed
"I'm afraid not"
Ella sat back and lit up a smoke
Seras
opened her mouth, then closed it and shook her head
Ella got up
and walked over to the sideboard, she poured herself a glass of
brandy and sat down again,
She swirled the brandy around and took
a sip
Integra rested her head against the desk and her shoulders
started to shake with repressed laughter
Sarah sighed
softly
Alucard looked up at the ceiling and his grin got
wider
Ella thought back to what had started this strange mood
everyone was in and sighed silently to herself
'No' she
thought 'There really is no living this one down'
FLASHBACK
Ella and
Sarah looked at each other, then looked back at the roof of the vent,
it had already been four hours since Alucard 'found' them, he
still wasn't back
Sarah sighed and looked at Ella
Ella looked
back at her and sighed "Are you thinking what I'm thinking
B1"
Sarah nodded "I think I am B2"
Ella smiled ruefully
"He did tell us to stay put"
Sarah shrugged "I see no harm
in doing the exact opposite"
Ella smiled "Touché"
Sarah
laughed "You mean it, truly"
Ella nodded "Why not, lets
explore this place"
The girls turned and started to crawl away
Ella looked
down through one of the vents "I wonder what this room is"
Sarah
came over "Is it the TV room"
Ella frowned "I don't think
so"
Sarah muttered "Oh, lets go then"
Ella nodded
Sarah had
taken over the lead and stopped suddenly "Wow"
Ella crawled
over and looked down "Wow indeed"
They looked down into a room
that was filled with guns and ammunition, everywhere they could see,
weapons dominated
Ella let out a low whistle "We should have
made a map"
Sarah nodded "I wouldn't mind playing in this
room"
Ella grinned "I wonder what else we will find"
They stopped
over a vent and looked down
Ella frowned "Just books"
Sarah
looked over "Do you think they have any Dr Seuss"
Ella
shrugged "I hope so, it takes a very complex mind to understand the
intricate tale in the complete works of Hop on Pop"
Sarah nodded
"I like the fish book"
"That too"
They looked
into another vent and sighed, it was just dusty old furniture
The
next vent was the same
And the next
And the next
Ella sighed
"Maybe we should see about a different floor"
They got to
the edge of a great drop and looked down
They looked at each
other and shrugged
Down they went
The next vent revealed a
medical looking room
Sarah whistled "I wonder what that
does"
Ella muttered "How do they keep everything so
shiny"
Sarah smiled "I love shiny stuff"
"Oh, look at
that, I think that's the saw thingy they use to cut off you
skull"
Sarah gasped "There's the thingy they use to hold
open your ribcage so they can reach your organs"
"Look, it's
the blood sucky outy thingy, oh I wish I had my camera"
Sarah
patted her arm "Next time"
The next vent
was filled with chemicals and looked like a lab
Sarah was
practically drooling "Look a Bunsen burner, oh I loved the Bunsen
burner in school"
Ella smiled "Fire is fun"
Sarah sighed
"Look, its filled with all sorts of dangerous and potentially
leather chemicals"
Ella smiled "I think you mean lethal
love"
Sarah shrugged "Same diff"
"Lets move on"
Then
they stopped and just stared
They were silent for about five
minutes
Ella muttered "Um, well, wow, just, wow"
Sarah
looked at her "What do you suppose"
Ella blinked "I have no
idea"
They looked down again and just stared
Sarah frowned
"What's that one for"
Ella cleared her throat "That my
love, that is a chamber, like a mummy tomb thingy, that you place the
person in and close the door"
She frowned "What does it
do"
Ella nodded "Well it has spikes all in the inside so when
you close the door the spikes stab the person"
"Ohh, what
about that one"
"That is a machine that twists your arms and
legs until they pop out of place and break"
"Wow, you sure
know a lot about these things"
Ella shrugged "I like the Saw
movies"
The were silent again
Ella finally muttered "Lets
go"
Sarah looked at her "K, but Ella, why do they have a
torture chamber"
"I don't know honey"
The next vent
was strange to say the least
"Shiny, pretty"
"Very
shiny, very pretty"
It was a room filled with mirrors, some
broken, some without frames, some perfectly fine
But it was
strange, what was a room doing filled with only mirrors
Sarah
muttered "Did they buy a mirror house and change their minds"
Ella
shrugged "I don't know, but damn, its so shiny"
Sarah nodded
"I love shiny"
There were
about five empty rooms that had no sigh of life within them
They
approached another drop and went down
The next
level proved to be much like the first, nothing much was in it except
for rooms and books
Sarah sighed "BORING"
Ella nodded "Lets
look for the next drop"
They went
down several more drops and Ella frowned "Jebus, how freaking big
is this place"
Sarah shrugged "A gazillion miles"
Ella
thought about it "Sounds right"
The girls stopped on top
of a strange level, the vent seemed to end and their was a loose
grate
They cheered "YAY, FREEDOM"
They crawled over and
stared down at it
Ella looked at Sarah "Wanna go first"
Sarah
snorted "And get eaten or killed if there's a hideous monster
lurking down there, I think not"
Ella shrugged "Suit yourself"
and jumped down
Sarah jumped after her
The girls looked around
and saw they were in a corridor of sorts
The rooms were strange,
like cells almost
They looked at each other
Ella whispered
"Wanna explore"
Sarah nodded
They walked down the halls and
Ella found it was to dark to continue
The girls back tracked until
Sarah spotted a torch
She picked it up and whacked it against her
palm a few times
She turned it on and cried "SUSCESS"
The
light from the torch leading them, the girls went back down the long
corridor
"Wow"
"Holy shit, look at that"
They
stood in front of a door,
But it was the strangest door
ever
Written on it was a pentagram, it looked like it was drawn
with blood,
It went over the door and onto the wall around it
It
almost looked like a curse, or a seal
They looked at each
other
Ella muttered "Should we go in"
Sarah looked at the
door, then back at Ella "What's the worst that can happen"
Ella
sighed "Everything and anything now you've said that"
She
reached out and opened the door
The lights went out from above and
she shrugged "Doesn't matter, couldn't see a fucking thing with
them anyway"
They went inside and looked around
It was a
strange place, like a cell, but there were steps also,
They went
down the steps and walked around,
Unfortunately for them the
torch ran out of batteries and died
Ella sighed
Then Sarah did
the worst possible thing
"Oh well, it could have been
worse"
Suddenly both girls tripped over and went head first into
the wall
Ella groaned and woke up
Her head was killing
her
She heard Sarah moan and knew she was alive, well you know
what was meant
They sat up
Sarah muttered "Oh god, where are
we"
Ella mumbled "I know where we aren't"
Sarah
muttered "Ella, do you remember the way out"
Nothing
"Ella"
Nothing
"Ella"
"Uh-Oh"
"Were lost
aren't we"
"Ah- huh, yep and affirmative"
they sighed
and suddenly heard
"You two are joking right"
Ella looked
up "Red??"
"No it's your conscious"
Sarah looked
around "Who's? Hers or mine"
Ella glared (Not that anyone
could tell mind you) "Red leave her alone"
"Only if you
answer one thing"
"What"
"Are you two lost by chance,
stuck mayhap, a little screwed, hmm"
Ella muttered "Yes"
"What was that my little mental"
"FINE YES, YES WE ARE
LOST, STUCK AND SCREWED"
Alucard laughed and laughed
Ella
glared (once again not much good when no one can see you) "What is
so fucking funny Red"
Alucard gasped out "You two are…"
FLASHBACK ENDS
Walter came
in "Here you are Sir Integra, I have those tracking devices you
wanted for the girls"
Integra nodded then started to laugh
Seras
joined in
Pip bit his lip then muttered "Ah, fuck it" he
started laughing
Alucard came over to Ella and sat next to her
"So my love" he purred "How did it feel"
Ella didn't say
anything
Pip grinned "Will I find you staring at Orange Juice
boxes because they say 'Concentrate', hmm"
Integra gasped
out "Will we find you trying in vain to put MnM's in alphabetical
order"
Seras grinned "Would you like to climb the glass shower
door to see what's on the other side"
Ella glared and Sarah
muttered "Shut up"
Alucard reached down and placed his hand
under Ella's chin
He forced her head up and muttered
"Come
love, what else did you expect"
"A little sympathy or
understanding" she muttered
He laughed "Ella you and Sarah
were lost in a room with one door"
Sarah sighed
Ella looked
at her "What country shall we move to so we can outrun the scandal
of stupidity"
Sarah smiled "Wanna go back to Australia"
Ella
nodded
Alucard looked at them "One your not going anywhere and
two, ELLA THE ROOM HAD ONE DOOR, ONE, JUST ONE AND IT WAS OPEN, YET
THE TWO OF YOUR WERE LOST"
He lost it and started laughing so
hard he was doubled over
