Chapter 27: Heroes
The sound of the voice had spooked Little Sister, but soon she realized that something was odd. Generally, Mr. Bear never spoke aloud, but none of the ghosts, neither mortal had heard him. Even if he looked like a hand me down care bear, Mr. Bear acted as an adult should, which made Little Sister be secured, but the 'something is coming' message was not the best that had escaped his furry lips. After Onyx had told them the story, however, he told them, "I could sense Constance a little while ago," he told them. "she must not be far behind, why don't you head to the bar? I'm pretty sure you will be safe…"
"Liar…" spoke Mr. Bear in the young girl's mind, but Little Sister had no choice but to follow her two companions, and soon they left the room and Onyx. Had they returned right away they could have seen the nasty grin that formed at his face.
"Idiots…"
The bar was small, but it was typical. Bars inside the mansion weren't that big, and some rooms required extra space, which unfortunately the mansion could not offer. It was a small bar, with its tables, and the counter was old and messy, and the drinks behind it were as well. It was an very old model of a bar, as it did not have the many improvements that according to her Uncle Rocks, rocked like no other. They all spotted a nearby table, where three ghosts were playing poker. All were dressed in cowboy attire, they all looked exactly alike, from the exception of the different color of bandannas that they wore; green, purple, and yellow.
"Flush!" The one in purple called, showing his cards to his opponents. Both man chuckled, the move had not been enough to tamper them. "Bah! What's so funny!?" he asked them. The one in the green gave his answer by throwing the cards in the table.
"Straight Flush!" He called, the man in purple, cried and threw his money upon the table, to which the man in green would have soon collected had not the one in yellow stopped his hand from advancing. "Larry?"
"My turn now," he replied with utmost calmness. He let the cards fall upon the table. "Royal Flush…" He swiftly collected the money from the other players without delay. The green man was not pleased about his lost, however.
"Damn it!" The one in green got out his gun and began shooting towards the roof, frightening Little Sister. This finally got the attention of the three men, who looked back at the newcomers. The young girl hid behind Andy, as both she and Andrew stood side by side.
"Well, look who it is, boss!" The purple man cried. "Leclare, so nice of you to join us." All three men got up from their seats, and looked back at Andrew, as if missing the two women he had with him on purpose. Larry, and the one in purple had taken out their guns now, and they were pointed at Andrew. The other ghost just stood defiant, and said nothing.
"Leclare," called Larry. "Aren't you going to say hello to old friends?"
"Friends, you? Fiends, indeed, not friends." This words did not seem hurt them at all at the trio, as they laughed.
"Hear! Hear! He still speaks like a fool!" The one in green laughed. All guns were pointed at him in a moment, and they fired. Andy and Little Sister had barely time to move away, before the other ghost hit the floor and disappeared.
"Andrew!" Andy cried. All three turned towards Andy and the little girl, who held her teddy bear tightly.
"Pretty, touch, hmm?"
"Atticus will be happy, if we bring her now…" Larry said, they went towards Andy, with their guns still up. "No use, girl! We may be ghosts, but it doesn't mean are weapons are that useless, unlike those other two's own. Now be nice and try not to get kill, would you?" Andy and Little Sister went to the farthest corner. The older girl was going to fight, even if she couldn't hit them.
"Don't come any closer!" She warned them.
"And what would you do? Beat us up?" the yellow one taunted. 'If you weren't dead, I would have taught you a thing or two…' "Hey! Come on! Trash us!"
"THAT CAN BE ARRANGE!!" All five inside the bar watched as the bodies of Andrew, Death Eye, and El Huesos appeared. "I thought company was never at rest." He smiled at Andy and Little Sister. "Stay back, this fight is only for us the undead!"
"Bring it on!" yelled Larry as he raised his gun, Andrew let the sword materialize and looked back at the assailants. Death Eye and El Huesos ready as well.
"Then let us!"
