Welcome back everyone. Enjoy and review.

Complex of Accursed Creatures

The next section of the Abode of Alarm was called "Complex of Accursed Creatures." The description on the sign that Basil and Venus had read was "A correctional facility-like complex network that is accommodations to ambushed ghosts who kill those who enter here."

After reading the description, Venus looked at Basil. Her eyes were filled with alarm. "Basil, I want to acknowledge who I am." Basil blinked. "I'm not just any Venus Kellerman, I'm the teen fashion model Venus Kellerman." Basil blinked again. "Doesn't that mean anything to you?"

"I don't follow the clothes scene." Stated Basil. "Why are you telling me this?"

"If this Legendre is as abhorrent as you say then I just want you to know who I really am should either of us die!"

"Are you really a cheerleader?"

"Is that all you have to say?" Basil nodded. "Yes, I am. Is that all you want to know?" Again, Basil nodded. "You're some guy, Basil."

"You should meet some of my friends then." Commented Basil. And then he osculated Venus on the lips.

"Why did you do that?" asked Venus.

"Because if I should die I'd want to kiss my… leman before doing so and you look like her so you'll have to do." Basil's answer caused Venus to feel inferior. To Basil, Cherie was unexampled and Venus was… An ancillary adoration! Yet there was a lasciviousness to divan her! There was just something mystical about her.

Venus was only a little bit anguished by what Basil had said. For the first time she was interested in a guy affectionately instead of in a baiting manner and this was how she learned something about him.

She did not hold onto Basil's arm as they entered the Complex of Accursed Creatures. She just walked in ahead of Basil and walked down one way. He could get lost for all she cared!

Needless to say both got lost and Basil found himself wishing that he had Biffy's help… He did… He didn't. Biffy wouldn't be able to get a map of this place. Basil was stuck having to find his way through this maze by himself. And he didn't have a ball of string with him.
