This Isn't a Dance; it's Hell with Streamers.
Chapter Five: Bring on the Cliché's…
^does happy dance, giggling hysterically ^YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!I'VE GOT LOTSA REVIEWS!!!! You like me! you really like me!! Well…you actually like my story…but that's still good!!
I went away on the weekend (snorkeling on coral reefs! Man I love summer!), but when I came back and checked up on my story, I was like '0 o 0' (that's supposed to be a 'shocked' face…) I had lots of reviews!! Yay! Go me!
Anywho, I got lotsa q's to answer (if I can) so let's get on with it shall we…
Zfighter2020: erm, I'm not entirely sure what you're getting out…but if it was that you were wondering why I chose a 'Matrix' theme costume for Li, it's basically coz I thought it'd just look cool. I mean I could have gone more for your stereotypical Halloween costume, like a ghost/vampire/werewolf/ or whatever, but that's just kinda boring. So I thought I'd 'jazz things up a bit' go more modern or whatever…But if that wasn't what you were asking, then you'll have to send more reviews (shameless plug to get more reviews : P) so I can (eventually) answer all your questions!
Lea: hehehe, well I can't tell ya, coz it's a big secret…but then again, this is the next chapter…and you'll find out anyway…yes…well…never mind…but thanxs muchly for the great review!
Blue Phoenix: hehehe…emails are good…emails make me put out more chapters…naa not really, I'll just keep writing anyway…just to annoy the hell outta all of ya!!!! ^cough^ (hmm, I think it's safe to say that the sugar high is still going…) ooh and about the sappy part…he he he…you might want to skip this chapter then, if you really don't like that sort of stuff (I personally don't like it when things get really sappy…when watching something really soppy, I generally sit there and take the piss out of it…it's kinda a bad habit…BUT I JUST CAN'T HELP IT!! Anyway, like I was saying, I'm gonna try and pump so much sap into this chapter that you'll probably want to have a few buckets nearby…it's basically coz almost everything has romantic crap in it…and romantic cliché's are probably the most recognizable-err-cliché. (Me speak English good) Sorry if it gets too corny (and believe me it's gonna get corny) but it's gotta be done!!
Dev: ooh questions, and I can actually answer them(err more or less), yay!! I used the 'no one was there bit' coz it's a cliché used a lot in (mainly the old classic) horror movies (well the ones I've seen anyway). I.e. group was walking along, talking, someone up front asks a question, but no one answers, they turn around, and everyone has mysteriously disappeared. I was going along the lines of that. I've seen it used a lot…so therefore the inclusion…(ooh lotsa big words, makes me feel smart : P )
What the card actually does on the other hand, will be explained in a later chapter…trust me, it'll all be cleared eventually. I just can't say now, that'll ruin all the fun for what I've got planned…hehehe (and believe me, I've got lots of (evil) stuff yet to come…). But I can tell you that it defiantly is not a normal card, but like I said earlier, not much is going to be explained until later. Let's just say that the card is very powerful, and just watches too many movies… Thanx muchly for the review!!
Facier59: I like it too…it took me ages to come up with a song that would fit that bit (and even longer to find the lyrics). But it fits pretty damn good I think, to annoy/embarrass the hell out of Li. (hmm I feel sorry for Li, I pick on him a lot in this story…) oh well, tis all in good fun! (…wait a minute, I've got two reviews from you!! (I need to check my review list more often…) yay! You like my story…makes me feel special!)
redjasper: bury Li under millions of girls hey? I like I like!! (major evil grin) I might just have to use it!! (maybe, depends if I can get it to fit in with my story line. But if I do, I'll mention the fact that you came up with it in an authors note… : P) Am I making her too clueless? I think I may be over-exaggerating the clueless-ness a tad, but oh well, makes life interesting (I think that's my motto for everything…that and 'I'll improvise'…hey, it works for me…)
AnimeHimeko: Thanx so much for the feedback! You have no idea how much I appreciate it. I know what you mean, about how some personal characters take over…it's a pain in the 'nether-regions' sometimes. The way I see it, this story is a Cardcaptors story, so keep it centered around the CCS characters. My characters are basically there for a bit of comic relief, something to 'bounce' (so to speak) the CCS characters off of.
Maybe I'll have to put my character run-downs at the beginning of each chapter…hmmm maybe, if lots of people start sending in reviews requesting it…
That would be really good to have you could edit my fic's!! Even though I write them, I have a bad habit of relying on the spell-check program too much and for mistakes like 'the' instead of 'they', it just doesn't pick it up. I do proof read my fic's, but I tend to miss stuff, and I think it would be best to run it by someone else (i.e. you : P) so they can pick up all the bits I miss. (Besides, that way you'll get to read the new chapters before anyone else does!) My spelling can be pretty shocking at times, but I think it's more due to the way I type…my fingers hit buttons before they're suppose to…(honest, it's all their fault)…and having long nails doesn't help either (they grow too fast damnit!!).
Ooh and you even gave me a rating! Yay! 8/10! Go Me!! (I think I use that exclamation mark too much…)
Hermeny: Sorry it took so long to answer back about you're review…(me so slack) But anyway, thanx muchly for the review! And well I suppose you don't have to wonder anymore about the karaoke part, as if you are reading this, you'd have already read the chapter… ^ - ^
Sailor Star: Hmm, that's a really good idea, I think I will make Li find out what he did…(It got me thinking, and I've come up with how I'm gonna do it too…hehehe) Great idea! And I'll mention you in an Authors note too, so everyone will know it was your idea! You lucky person you! (After all I'm not one to steal ideas…borrow, maybe, as long as the original person is asked/mentioned/etc.)
THANKS EVERYONE SOOOOOO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!
Anyway, in this chapter, as the title suggests, it's gonna have a lot of cliché's in it…both soppy and 'scary', so it won't get too boring and/or nauseating. You'll see a lot of Author's note's too. (More of my wonderful comments for your enjoyment. Aren't ya lucky?) Oh and just a warning, I'm (mainly in the beginning) gonna pump this chapter so full of sap, you'll either be weeping from the sweetness of it all, or re-visiting any of your previous meals, if you catch my drift. I mean, what's more cliché than romance? (You know what I mean, the basic story lines for romance's never really change)
Anywho, as they say…err-somewhere…'On with the show!'

"I think I can sense the card to the right. But it's really faint so I'm not sure…" I spun around to get everyone else's opinion on the matter.
But no one was there.
-----------
Li's POV:
It had all happened too quickly for me to see. One minute I had been walking closely behind Sakura, with the rest of the group not that far behind me, and the next, I was totally alone. And I was completely lost.
I still knew I was in the house or ride or whatever it actually was, but where exactly in the house/ride/whatever was a complete mystery. I could sense aura's here and there...they were faint, but still just enough to follow. Sometimes it felt like Ike and Kalla, sometimes it felt like the card, and sometimes I could feel Sakura.
And she felt scared.
I had no clue where Madison and Mei Lin had ended up, as I couldn't sense them at all because they didn't possess magic. {AN: is that actually true? I'm not sure if it is ever mentioned in the series…but it kinda makes sense…well to me it does…so there : P} I had been walking around for what felt like ages, and I was pretty sure I was walking in circles. I kept coming across what I really hoped were my footprints in the dust or at least the footprints of something friendly. The walls didn't help much either, as they generally followed the same pattern. Either windows with the full moon showing in each or row after row of doors.
Somewhere however, I must have turned in the right direction as I came across a flight of ancient stairs that curled both upwards and down into the gloom below. From the little visibility I had I guessed that I had to be at least on the fourth floor. Which was, needless to say, really weird. As I had remembered it, when we had walked into 'The Tower of Terror' it only had two stories.
I guess Kalla was right when she had said that we weren't on the ride anymore.
I stepped back into the poorly lit hall, and pulled down one of the old fashioned lanterns that lined the walls. It didn't really light up much, but it was better than stumbling down the stairs blind.
Muttering to myself, I debated whether going upstairs or down would be the best course of action. "Okay, up…or down…up or down…it feels like the Clow Card is upstairs, and I last sensed Ike and Kalla up there too…but on the other hand, I feel Sakura's aura downstairs…." I paused, looked up, then down and nodded, "right, downstairs it is"
I gingerly tested my weight on the first step, it creaked a bit, but thankfully didn't break. I held the lantern out in front of me to give me a better view. The eerie shadows that surrounded me elongated and warped as I slowly made my way down. It was all very foreboding, and I was glad for all the years of training that I had done. I didn't really feel any fear. I refused out right to let my imagination to get away with me.
I finally reached the next floor down and paused. Sakura's aura felt closer, but not by much. I was pretty sure she was still somewhere in the house, but her aura should feel a whole lot stronger than it did at the moment. Muttering to myself once more I came to a conclusion, "The Clow Card must be trying to mask our aura's…make it harder for us to find each other…" I looked up and frowned, "but why? …and why am I talking to myself…" I scowled and continued down the next flight of stairs.
I came to what I could only assume was about the second floor when I heard something above the noise of a storm that was raging outside. It was too soft to make out exactly what it was, but between the crashes of thunder, it sounding like someone mumbling softly, off in the gloom of yet another hallway. I stopped and listened, straining my ears. In between the noises of the storm, the soft mumbling continued, only broken occasionally by a soft sniffle. And it was coming from the direction that Sakura's aura felt the strongest.
I held my lantern out in front of me and slowly started to make my way forward. "Sakura? Sakura, is that you?".
No answer.
The soft mumbling continued. I adjusted the grip on my sword and lantern and continued walking. The mumbling was getting louder, and Sakura's aura was getting stronger.
It was defiantly her.
But why hadn't she answered me?
I tried calling out again, but as before, my calls were answered by nothing more than the mumbles, the occasional quiet sniffle, and the rumble of distant lightning.
I rounded the next corner and stopped in my tracks. It was Sakura. She was curled up in a dejected ball on the dusty floor, her back against the wall, slowly rocking back and forth. Her head was hidden in her arms, her wand was lying at her side. Her whole body jerked each time she let out a quiet sob.
You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to see that she was absolutely terrified.
And I had never wanted to hold someone in my arms as much as I did now.
{AN: ^starts giggling^ hihihi! That's so corny…but c'mon! You know you want more! ^ - ^}
Which was kinda weird, because I have never been an overly affectionate guy. I briefly wondered if the Clow Card had something to do with it, and knelt in front of Sakura, placing my lantern on the ground next to me. "Sakura, are you okay? What's wrong…"
*she's scared you nit…you know how much she hates ghost stories, well now she's living one…Do something about it…*
*like what?*
*I dunno, I'm just your conscience*
She had made no response, except to continue rocking back and forth and mutter…I was finally close enough to hear what she had been saying.
"…I'm all alone…^sniff^ they left me all alone…the ghosts…going to get me…^sniff^ …won't leave me alone…"
I placed my sword on the ground next to her wand and hesitated, before placing my hand softly on her arm. Her head shot up, but her eyes where tightly clenched. She cried out "get away from me!" and tried to scramble but was blocked by the wall.
"Sakura…Sakura it's me!" She shook her head, her eyes still shut tight and she kicked out trying to get away from me. "NOOO, NOO LEAVE ME ALONE"
*…she doesn't know it's me…*
In her struggles she had knocked the lantern over, plunging us both into semi-darkness.
I could still hear her sobs, and they cut through me like a knife.
She was still struggling against me, but I managed to get control of her wrists, "Sakura, Sakura calm down…it's me! LOOK AT ME"
She let out another sob, but her struggles weakened and in the dim light I saw her tear stained face rise up, and she looked at me. "L-L-Li?" I loosened my grip on her wrists, and wiped a tear off her face as it trickled down her cheek, "It's okay Sakura, I'm here now…"
{AN: one…two…three…aaaaaaaawwwwwww…}
She tried to smile, but failed, and threw her arms around my neck, hugging me tight. Her voice was barely a whisper. "oh Li…I was so scared…" Her whole body was trembling, so I returned the gesture and wrapped my arms protectively around her, holding her close. "Shhh, it's okay…I won't let anything happen to you…"
{AN: aww, kinda makes you feel all warm n' fuzzy inside don't it?}
We stayed like that for a few minutes until Sakura had stopped sniffling. I would have been perfectly happy just to stay like that forever, but I suppose all good things must come to and end. Wiping away another tear I pulled her up onto her feet. "Are you okay now Sakura?" She nodded and stooped down to pick up her wand. I picked up my sword, and gave the toppled lantern a scrutinizing look. Sakura chuckled and said "leave it, I've got a better idea…" I looked questioningly at her, but paused when I felt her magic rise a bit and start to focus above her outstretched palm. A small ball of light appeared a second later, floated up and hovered about a foot above her head, lighting our way completely. She smiled at me shyly, "something Kalla taught me…"
I scratched my head kinda embarrassed, "Yeah, she taught me too…I just forgot about it" I chuckled, "and I had thought that getting one of lanterns down had been a good idea…"
She blushed prettily and looked down at her feet, then shivered.
"Are you cold?" {AN: gee, can you guess what's gonna happen next?}
She looked up at me mildly shocked at my offer, then shook her head, "no, I'm fine, really…"
The corner of my lip twitched in a tiny smile, "You're a terrible liar you know…"
She protested again, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was still shivering. "Here…" I pulled off the long black 'Neo' cloak I had been wearing and offered it to her, "take it…"
"But Li, it's freezing in here…" I interrupted her and pushed the coat into her hands, "which is exactly why you should wear it, that costume of yours doesn't look very warm…"
She glanced down at her pinky colored fairy costume and giggled, but gratefully took the garment any way. "Thanks Li."
{AN: aahh, cliché's, don't ya just luv em?…yes anyway, I'll just shut up now…}
She slipped on the coat and sighed happily. I chuckled and said, "Ready to go?" She nodded, and we silently made our way back towards the stairs, giving me a chance to think about what was happening.
*I did it coz she was cold, I did it coz she was cold…she was scared…I was being a friend… *
*Yeah, just keep telling yourself that bub, but you know as well as I do that you did it coz you like her…*
I had never really realized it before, but that particular part of my conscience acted a lot like Kalla.
------------
Sakura's POV: A bit before Li comes along and gets all mushy…
I was alone.
Completely and utterly alone.
I couldn't even sense anyone's aura's anymore.
Well that wasn't exactly true. I could sense something but it was too faint to make out what it was.
"Guys? Are you there? This isn't funny you know…" I slowly spun around, my head snapping back and forth so quickly that I was beginning to look like the evil-devil-possessed chick from the Excosist. {AN: did I spell that right?} Not that I'd actually seen it, but I'd pretty much gotten the gist of it from Nikki. Made me realize that I was glad that I'd never seen it.
No one had answered, and my imagination was starting to kick in, but it was far from reassuring. All the ghost stories that Tori had ever told me where coming back to me, which needless to say really wasn't helping.
"Okay guys…jokes over…I'm scared now…"
Still nothing.
"Guys?…Madison?…Mei Lin?…Li?"
CRASH!! RUMBLE RUMBLE! Thunder crashed right outside, and a nearby window suddenly flew open, causing the tattered drapes to billow out as a violent gust of wind buffeted the old house. I backed away from the window, and cowered up against a wall, as the window suddenly slammed shut again, only slightly deafening the roar of the wind, and the steady bang…bang…bang…of what I hoped were shutters banging against the side of the house.
It was then that I felt something soft blow up against my neck. I froze, afraid to look, as once again I felt the sensation on the back of my neck, causing a cold shiver to run down my spine.
I choked down a sob. The walls felt as if they were closing in.
I felt so trapped. I wasn't sure if it was something in the 'house', or just my over-active imagination, but every tiny noise, every little gust of wind, made me believe that my possible demise was getting closer and closer, floating on ghostly wings.
I had convinced myself that the ghosts of my nightmares were real, and that they were after me. I collapsed against the wall, somehow creating my own void, so that nothing but what I imagined in my head could get through.
I didn't even hear when Li called out my name, even though he was right in front of me.
And when I felt something touch my arm, I panicked, thrashing out at whatever demon had found me. My struggles were short lived, and soon the 'demon' had me in its' grip. It wasn't until the 'demon', using a very recognizable voice, called out "LOOK AT ME", that I became aware of my surroundings, and the now strong and also very recognizable aura radiating from the person in front of me.
I pried open my waterlogged eyes and a blurry face came into view.
"L-L-Li?" He looked relieved, as he loosened his grip on my wrists then wiped a tear from my cheek as it trickled down my face. "It's okay Sakura, I'm here now…"
I tried to smile, but failed, instead throwing my arms around his neck. I just wanted more than anything to feel safe again.
My whole body was trembling, both from the cool breeze that blew through the hall, and because I was just so scared. But Li seemed to know exactly what I needed, and he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close.
*oh god, he is so sweet…*
We stayed like that for a few minutes, but eventually my sniffles subsided. He wiped away yet another tear as it made its way down my face then pulled me to my feet. "Are you okay now Sakura?" I nodded and picked up my wand as he picked up his sword. He gave a lantern, which was laying toppled over on the dusty floor, a strange look.
*hehehe oops, I must have knocked it over…*
I chuckled, then said "leave it, I've got a better idea…" I watched me with curious interest as I focused some of my power into the palm of my hand. A glowing ball of light appeared above my outstretched palm, then rose to hover above my head to light our way. He looked impressed, so I smiled shyly and explained, "something Kalla taught me…"
He scratched his head, looking mildly embarrassed, "Yeah, she taught me too…I just forgot about it" then softly chuckled before continuing, "and I had thought that getting one of lanterns down had been a good idea…"
His chuckles, which where so few and far between, came as a mild shock which caused me to blush and look down at my feet.
But that was nothing compared to the shock I got when he actually offered me his coat when I continued to shiver. I tried to protest, but he had insisted and pushed it into my hands.
We were now walking in silence, upward towards where we guessed everyone else was.
*Why is he being so sweet all of a sudden? He's been pretty nice lately, but he's never been this sweet before…not that I'm complaining…*
*Dude, how many times do I have to tell you? It's coz he's got the major hots for you…he wants to hold you in his manly arms, softly stroke your hair…kiss you till the cows come home…*
*You know, for something that's supposed to be my conscience, you're not very nice…*
*whadduya mean not nice?! I'm just saying it like it is. Let's just say I'm the manifestation of your bad side*
*I have a bad side?*
*Of course you do, everything has a bad side. I just never come out to the surface.*
*Oh…right…you know, even though you're my conscience, you act a whole lot like Kalla…*
*Yeah well, her evil side is just part of her personality…*
--------------
Third Person POV: Kalla, Ike and Kero
Kalla, Ike and Kero had been wandering around aimlessly for at least an hour. And it had become very much aware that they had been walking around in circles.
Kalla, looking bored, was starting to whine, "but guysss we've been past this way beforrrreee, we're going around in circles…" she paused and glared at a painting, "and the paintings keep watching me…"
Ike raised an eyebrow, as Kero replied in a dry tone, "the paintings…are watching you…riiiigghhthttt"
Kalla, seemingly ignoring Keros' comment, started to dart left and right, then growled at the painting "STOP WATCHING ME!"
"…does she always yell at inanimate objects like that?"
"No, but before she went to therapy she just used to talk to thin air…you gotta admit it's an improvement."
Kalla, after giving the painting another glare, pouted then sighed dramatically, "this is boring…I thought haunted houses…"
CRASH! Rumble rumble rumble…
She frowned, but continued, "…were supposed to be, I dunno, actually haunted?"
CRASH! Rumble rumble rumble…
"Is it just me, or does lightning seem to crash an awful lot around here?"
Ike and Kero just shrugged. Kalla paused and started to scratch her chin. Kero glanced warily down at Ike, "uh oh…she's planning something isn't she…"
Kalla chewed her lip, then said, "Carrots."
"…huh?"
Ignoring the confused look on her companion's faces, she paused, then said, "zombie…"
CRASH! Rumble rumble rumble…
"…vampire"
CRASH! Rumble rumble rumble…
"Werewolf!" CRASH! "Ghoul!" CRASH! "Ghost!" The crashes of thunder were coming so fast that it didn't even have time to rumble. CRASH! "g"-CRA-"ravy!"… Then complete silence.
Kalla looked immensely pleased with herself, "ha-HA got ya there didn't I?"
Kero eyebrow raised, dryly said, "looks like you'll have to try for electroshock therapy next time…"
"Uh Kalla, what was that all about?"
Kalla spun around, a big smile on her face, and started to explain, "well, I had thought it was really weird that lightning kept striking all the time, but I realized there was a pattern."
They both blinked slowly, obviously confused, "yeeeaaahhh…"
"Ugghh, do I have to explain everything…"
"ummm…well…"
She sighed dramatically and said, "sheesh, well, it's a well known fact that in horror movies, "she paused as thunder once again cracked, "that whenever someone says something foreboding, or mentions something that's, like, evil or whatever, then lightning always strikes." She frowned then continued, "although, I will admit, it's getting a tad over the top…"
Ike and Kero didn't look too convinced "…well known fact…really…"
"Duh! Don't you watch horror (CRASH!) movies?"
"…Obviously not as much as you do…"
Kalla looked mildly frustrated, "come on, work with me here people…In horror (Crash!) Movie's, bad stuff always happens at night, and it's always during a full moon, and the people always get separated…"
{AN: I'm talking more about the older horror films…the newer ones are a bit different. But you have to agree, generally bad stuff seems to happen at night, there's usually a full moon, and the characters get separated. Either voluntary or involuntary…which is kinda stupid if you think about it, 'oh I've got a jolly good idea. While we're trapped in a haunted house, let's split up to look for a way out, even though that nagging little voice called common sense is telling us that we are just going to get picked of one by one'. Well not quite like that…but you know what I mean right…c'mon people…work with me…: P}
"So…?"
She looked serious and replied "it means that we have to find everyone else very quickly…"
Kero looked at Kalla confused, "why?"
"Because someone is going to be killed…"
{AN: hehehe, I was going to end it there…just to confuse and annoy the hell out o fall of you! But I've got something even better yet to come…}
--------------
Sakura's POV:
I was really getting sick and tired of these halls. Whoever designed the place mustn't have had much of an imagination. We hadn't sensed anything for ages, so we had been basically walking around aimlessly, hoping that we might accidentally bump into someone.
I once again squealed as lightning struck yet again. It seemed to happen an awful lot. There was one point where there were so many crashes of thunder that you couldn't even hear the rumble anymore, just a CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! I got so freaked that I had grabbed onto Li's arm in fear. I think he got a bit mad though, coz his face was all red, but he didn't say anything.
I was yet to let go.
"^ groan ^ I hate lightning…"
Li looked surprised "but what about the thunder card? You seemed okay when we were fighting that…"
"So? That was different. I knew it was magic, and that we could do something about that."
Li nodded but said "yeah, but the thunder card is more likely to actually come after you. Normal lightning has a really small chance of hitting anything at all."
*…great now I sound like a big chicken and an idiot*
"oh…right…" I cringed as yet another bolt of lightning crashed…then there was nothing.
Complete silence.
The rain, the wind, the lightning, even our footsteps seemed to go silent.
I stepped a bit closer to Li. "Is it just me ^gulp^ or did everything just go really quiet…?".
"Yeah it did…something's not right…" I felt him tense up as he tightened the grip on his sword and stepped in front of me, protecting me from whatever was coming. He didn't really need to. I was perfectly capable of looking after myself. He probably didn't think so, but I wasn't about to stop him.
So sue me. He's hot.
The silence was almost tangible. It was really creeping me out, well, more than I already was anyway. Li's head spun around as he searched the dusty hall for any sign of danger, then he stiffened. "…Did you just hear that?"
"…h-h-h-hear what?"
"listen…"
I strained my ears for any hint of a sound, but heard nothing…until…
Tick…tick…tick
*It's a clock…it's just a clock…that just happened to start ticking all of a sudden…just a freaky possessed clock that's coming to get us…okay I'm really not helping myself here…*
The noise, and whatever was making it, was getting closer, and it sounded like it was getting faster. Li spun around to face the direction of the noise was coming from, sword and magic ready. Swallowing my fears for the time being, I readied my wand and pulled out the Firey card. We both stood prepared…but nothing came.
The ticking stopped.
We were enveloped in silence once again.
"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!!!!"
"AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH"
"LI NO!"
I lost my balance as Li was grabbed from behind by something and jerked out of my grasp. I hit my head as I fell, and just before I blacked out I saw Li struggling against a creature, a beast, a hideous nightmare, as it dragged him off. The very last thing I remember seeing before everything went black was Li's sword lying on the floor next to me.
He had dropped it, and was completely defenseless.
--------
Well, he probably isn't completely defenseless. I know he's a good fighter but fists and kicks ain't gonna be enough for the kind of monster I've dreamed up…hehehe…But I'm not going to give away to much now. This chapter has probably left a few of you with lots of questions, which I don't mind answering. But before you go asking just keep this in mind, the next chapter will be explaining a lot. You'll just have to trust me. From an actual description of the monster/beast thingy to why and how the gang have been put into a 'real haunted house'. This doesn't mean that you don't have to review, by all means, go right ahead! ^ - ^
Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up, but I've had a really shitty week, to be quite frank. I had to do 7 assignments and 3 tests…my head hurts from all that thinking. I know there are bigger problems in the world and all, and you probably don't give a flying cahoot (hehehe, I dunno what that word actually means but it sounds funny ^ - ^) about my week…BUT I'M ALLOWED TO GRIPE DAMNIT!!! ^cough cough ^ okay, I'm happy know I've got that off my chest… This chapter probably wasn't one of my best, or my funniest, but I've got stuff planned for later on. It'll get better! Really it will! No really!!
Anywho, I'll be able to get the chapters up faster, the next should be up by Friday next week (cross fingers). So till then TA-TA and don't forget all those reviews!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (okay I think that's enough exclamation marks…)
