Chapter 5: Questions
"Brrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The phone rang. Alicia looked at in surprise. She had just installed the phone, and no one knew her number yet. 'Who could it be?' she wondered, reaching for the hand piece. Picking it up, she spoke carefully.
"Hello, may I know who you are looking for?" She asked politely.
"Beewarre…Beewarre… Beewarre…Alicia…" The caller hung up. The voice had been cold and creepy, sending chills down her spine. She stared at the hand piece. The loud beep of the dial tone could be heard.
"What was that about?" She whispered. She was very shocked, and her mind was still reeling from previous events. First, there was some strange letter that she had signed unknowingly, then, there was some peculiar poem that was telling her what to do. Now, she had this weird phone call. She was sure it had something to do with Chyora. But he was probably as clueless as she was. They kept no secrets from each other, so he would definitely had told her if he knew anything.
"Hey Alicia, I heard the phone ring. Who was it?" Chyora asked, popping in.
"Nothing. It was probably a wrong number." Alicia answered, "Definitely a wrong number." She repeated, trying to convince herself. If so, how did that someone or something know her name? She shivered.
"Are you cold Alicia?" Chyora asked. She shook her head. She would have to think more about everything that had happened. She walked up and grabbed Chyora before he could sneak away.
"Now my dear boy, you are going to help me clean up this mess." She said, dragging him into the room. Chyora let himself be dragged. 'I should have stayed upstairs…' he thought, sighing.

"Hey Teena, do you always charge 80np for the adoption of Neopets?" Alicia asked.
"Of course. It's a standard pricing." Teena replied. (A/N: I know that isn't true. Just bear with me.)
"Then why did I pay 150np…?" She muttered.
"What was that? 300np!!! You mean, Chyora was adopted and you paid 150np?" Teena exclaimed. Her sharp ears had heard her words.
"Yes, I adopted Chyora. Dr. Death told me that I had to pay 150np and sign some papers." Alicia admitted.
"Papers? What papers? We have never made owners sign papers." Teena said in surprise.
"All I know is that Dr_Death asked me if I wanted to adopt Chyora. I agreed, and he told me I had to pay 300np and sign some papers. I couldn't leave him here, so I agreed." Alicia explained.
"That totally goes against out normal procedure. We have never done it this way before." Teena said, looking troubled.
"Don't worry. I didn't mind paying so much. Chyora has been such a wonderful pet. I've had him for a long time. It has almost been a year now." Alicia said hastily.
"A year? It has almost been a year since Dr. Death disappeared…" Teena said sorrowfully.
"I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry." Alicia apologized. Then, she realized in shock that it had almost been a year since Dr. Death disappeared. And she had adopted Chyora. She still had a month to Shoyru Day, the time when the note has asked her to follow instructions. She shivered when she thought of the note. It reminded her of the phone call.
"Let's get on with work. No rest for the weary." Teena sighed, as yet another bunch of owners came in to disown their pets.

Chyora smashed into Punchbag Bob. He finally went down, left with zero hit points. He smiled in satisfaction. All his training had finally paid off.
"Mr.…Chyora, here is your trophy for defeating Punchbag Bob." A trophy appeared and landed in his waiting hands. He took the trophy and checked the time. Alicia still had several more hours to go at the…at work. He still had time.
Checking through the list, he picked out another opponent: The Shadow Usul. The battle was slightly tougher, for she proved a good opponent. Still, he defeated her, and she lay on the ground, knocked out. He was sure he was ready now.
"Hello, may I help you." The grundo at the counter asked.
"I would like to challenge someone." Chyora answered.
"Fill in this form. It will be sent to the pet you wish to challenge. Remember to answer all the questions." The grundo growled, handing over a piece of paper and a pen. Chyora took it, and filled out the name of his opponent, the owner, and preferred time and date of the match.
"How long are you willing to wait?" He asked.
"As long as it takes." Chyora replied and clenched his paws.
