Run! Run! Run! Faster! Faster! Faster! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Turn right at this street corner! Screw the old man, PUSH `IM OVER! PUSH `IM OVER! Is that candy in the air? Candy? CANDY? Pounce that kid with the candy! Eat it! Eat it, BITCH! Turn again, left this time! WOW! WHAT AN AWSOME ACORN! GIVE IT TO ME! Stop at the light, ooh! It's green, GO, GO, GO! Almost there! Look for the only house on the block, now, look for it...THERE IT IS! Now approach it, careful, careful...
The figure darted about the streets like a rat on a hunt, or like a burglar escaping some coppers. A twisted grin crossed its lips, and then a giggle. It ran towards the house, and flung itself at the door, and began scratching upon it, letting out many piercing shrieks of what sounded like agony. Long pink painted nails scratched at the door like a dog begging to be let it. And it seemed to work, because a pretty young woman opened the door, and it was let it. The door scratcher, who turned out to be an extremely attractive brown headed girl, giggled a bit, and hurried in, springing onto a chair at a table. A boy sat the table, his body ridged in fear, and the girl sat upon the chair like a dog, panting and staring at him. She giggled wildly again, and the boy cringed in his seat, he hadn't been so scared like this since he was a very young boy. He tried to act brave, and cast an angry glare at the panting girl, who hissed and snapped at him. He gave a slight cry, and
cowered back in his seat, staring down at the floor.
The woman that had opened the door sat down, and a grin came, "Welcome home, Lashee, or should I say, K.C.?" The woman laughed softly, and brought a glass of wine up to her lips, and sipped it. She looked towards the boy, "Don't worry, Todd, little Alexis will be here soon, I'm sure she'll be happy to see you again, you know. Too bad, though, you won't have much time to spend together...What a pity..." She sipped her wine again, and laughed again.
The boy struggled to get out of the chair, but Lashee snarled at him, her eyes blank. K.C. had complete control over her mind. She put her face in his, and sniffed at him a bit. The girl pulled back, whimpering, and rushed out of the room and up a flight of stairs nearby.
The woman narrowed her eyes, "Don't even think about leaving just because the girl is gone. I can always call her back. Don't worry little Todd Casil, soon G-Kun will bring sweet L back, and we'll all be one big happy family. Unless, I dear say, you don't want to join our little group, and then you will have to be...well, you know."
He stood up, and made a break for the door, where upon Lashee sprang into view, pinning him down. The girl breathed down upon him, her breath full of spirits, and her head full of demons. The girl snarled, and got off him, dragging him upon the stairs until they reached perhaps the fourth floor up. The girl dragged him towards the only door up there, and pushed him in, closing and locking the door with a click.
He lay in the darkness, recalling what events had happened before this...
He and L had been walking about, searching for the house, when out of the darkness Lashee came. L was so happy, that she hugged her friend, glad to see she was okay, and happy to see that K.C. wasn't with her. Sadly, L didn't know K.C. had gotten to the point that she no longer needed to doll body to control Lashee. Followed by Lashee came two women, each were so pretty...dark hair...eyes...you know the type. One of the women embraced L as soon as she had let go of Lashee and the other shook his hand. He should have known they were up to no good by that look in the women's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to that. The next thing he had known, what that L was being dragged off against her will, and that the other woman had her hands about his neck, strangling him almost. Then, realisation came over the woman, perhaps it was best not to destroy him...yet. He knew she was thinking this by the way she had suddenly let go of him, and dragged him forcefully off into the house.
The boy quivered a bit...This was a mess, one big oversized messed. So much for puzzles, this mystery had taken a turn for the worst, and chances were he wasn't going to be alive for very much longer unless some quick thinking was done. And who the hell was Alexis? He sat up, and leaned against the wall, looking about. He wanted to get a good feel of the surroundings just in case some strange twist of fate would allow him to fight G-Kun and D-Kun...but the chances of that were slim...very, very slim. He shut his eyes and decided a bit of rest would do him well...as long as he slept with one eye open.
~*~
The girl struggled to be released from the chains that held her, but they were firm and true. No way out, she whimpered slightly, but didn't cry. "D-Kun! Why...I thought you cared for me!" The girl continued to struggle, it wasn't fair! Squee was right...Everything she that cared for was against her. "D-Kun...Please! Let me go!"
The woman turned and looked at her, "Now why would I go and do that? It seems to me, your future has gotten for too bright for your own good, I'm simply helping restore it to its proper way." She paused, and chuckled darkly, "And it looks like your first victim will be," again she paused to laugh, "It's right funny, really, your first victim will be the one that caused all of this...and fanned the flames. You know him very well, I believe, Mr. Todd Casil."
Her eyes widened a bit, and she struggled even more, "Please...Don't, D-Kun!"
D-Kun scowled, "Don't call me by that name. Call me by my true name, Diene." She turned and exited the room, walking down the stairs to meet with G-Kun, or Gurase.
She smiled wanly at Diene, "Everything is in the correct place, and by tomorrow, all three little problems shall be taken care of, well, four if you count the doll. But I wouldn't that doll and the girl have gotten to the point where they count as one; pity we just didn't use Lashee instead of the other. Would have made things a lot easier, ne?"
"Hai..." Said she slowly, but she didn't seem to quite agree all the way. "Gurase, why don't we just use Lashee instead of her? It would be much easier that way! Oh, please Gurase!" She looked pleading up the other woman.
"No, Diene, we'd have to find some way to erase both their memories, and that's messy." She glared down at Diene, and walked off, "Now, if you excuse, I have a dinner that's getting cold, feel free to join me when you wise up."
Diene stood, staring after the back of her partner, she reached out, but thought better of it. She sighed, and shook her head, "Might as well help the boy escape, she shouldn't be forced to kill him." She went up the attic room, and swiftly unlocked it, pushing it open. "Hello...? Is anyone here--Ahh!"
She had been cut off by the boy, would jumped at the woman, pinning her down. His eyes blazed wildly, "Where is she? Where is L? Tell me, bitch!" His hands found their way to her neck, cutting off the flow of oxygen to her lungs. The woman choked and sputtered a bit, pawing at the hands upon her next. He released his grip.
The woman took a deep breath and spoke in a quavering voice, "Todd Casil, you cannot rescue her!"
"How do know my name? And what do you mean that I can't rescue her? I can, and I will, she's my only true friend!" His eyes blazing in sheer anger at this woman, who did she think she was? She couldn't tell him what or what not to do!
"I know your name because we've been watching you since the day you were born up until the point when that blasted Nny took you! And you can't save her for several reasons: first off, you haven't any weapons. Second, you haven't even a clue what you're going to be up against! I shall be willing to assist you in saving Alexis solely because I do not want to have her become a flusher if she doesn't have to be!"
"Alexis...Flusher? What're talking about, woman?" He looked down at the woman, who was slowly pulling herself up into a sitting position. He glared at her with a set of angry eyes, he trusted her just about as much as he trusted Lashee to not be annoying. Meaning not at all.
"Alexis, Todd Casil, is L's birth name. It is the name her parents gave her before...before Gurase and I entered her life." She looked deep into the boy's eyes, "You think you can go up against Gurase, or even I? I may not be as strong as Gurase...but I'm still stronger than you!" Her eyes narrowed into slits, "So if you want to save the girl...You'll have to think up a plan, and soon. I can keep Gurase from decaying Alexis's mind for maybe a day or two...but none longer. Do you understand me, Todd Casil? Go home and get Nny, yes, I know about Nny, so does Gurase get Nny and get him to help. He might be strong enough." She sighed and walked towards the end of the room, pushing aside a curtain that hung, revealing a filthy window. She unlocked the window with a click, and opened it. "Now, little Todd Casil, go...escape."
He felt himself being shoved out the window, he fell upon the ground. The boy scrambled up onto his feet and began running as fast as he could towards home, but he knew he wouldn't get home until maybe noon as the least. The boy sighed, he was without money for bus fare, if only he had a car! A car whizzed by, and the boy blinked...he knew what he could do! He sprang onto the car, and pulled himself into the car through the open window, he opened the door on the driver's side, pushing the driver out where she was promptly hit by a large truck. He chuckled darkly, and sat at the driver's seat, he pushed hard onto the gas pedal speeding the car up. He drove as fast as he could back home, only once a police officer tried to stop him, and only once did Todd Casil have to run some one over.
He made it to the neighborhood, and jumped out the still moving car, flinging himself at the door of the house. He threw it open, and raced in. "Nny! Devi! I need your help!"
~*~
She hung limply from the chains that bound her; the girl shuddered from the damp cold of the room. She stared at the ground, the room filled with dolls, just like K.C., her mind was slowly being destroyed by them. Her eyes half closed, and her mind blank, "Squee...Where are you?" The girl forced her eyes open, scared of what would happen if she fell asleep. She knew that Gurase and D-Kun weren't there, but she was still scared to try to escape. She saw, after all, what had happened to Lashee. They had transformed her into some sort of monster-girl. "Lashee, why did they hurt you? You never did anything wrong..." Why was it...everything she loved and cared for was being hurt? Why?
