Maybe is I stop thinking the story will be better because it'll be free of my mindless dribble. Wait, how can it be mindless? AH, I'm dribbling on again! This entire...paragraph! I've wasted more of your life! NOOOOOOOOOOOO--aw, well, it's your fault anyway. I'm going to be serious now. This chapter has to be serious. Or at least, somewhat. I'm going to now do another line thingy because it makes me feel better.

When Lenore awoke, her first sense was the feel of pain on her head. It felt like when she fell down the stairs. But after a few moments of consciousness, she opened her eyes. It was dark but she could make out a figure a foot in front of her. And bars. This shocked her wide awake.
"It's about time you woke up."
"Whoa, you're skinny."
"Thank you. It's nice to see you polite now. But may I ask you why you were on my property when there is," He clenched his teeth as he hissed the last words, "a sign asking you not to?!"
"Ask that guy."
Lenore pointed to the corner of her cage to Ragamuffin, who was still out cold.
"You know him?"
"YUP!"
"How could you possibly be so proud to be acquainted with someone like him?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because."
"Because WHY?"
"Because."
"FINISH YOUR FUCKING SENTENCE!"
There was a pause.
"Because."
"GRAAAAAAAAAH!" Johnny flung down the knife and it creased through Lenore's head with a nauseating shloop. Her scream could have been heard throughout the entire town. It woke up Ragamuffin with a reasonable start.
"AAAAAHH!!" He yelped, jumping up only to hit his head on the bars of the prison. "Oww..." It took a while for his vision to clear but his hearing was fine, evidence being that he heard Johnny's panting and Lenore's whimpering and the cry before that. She sat towards her attacker so even when his vision did clear, Ragamuffin couldn't see what had happened.
"MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WON'T BE SO SMART-ASSED ABOUT THINGS!" Nny stormed off to a lower level of his never-ending basement. Lenore had started to cry, holding her hands to her forehead where the slick steel had made deep contact.
"Lenore.....? Where are we? What's going on?" Ragamuffin got up and tilted his head when all he got in response were sobs. Lenore didn't often cry. Especially not like that. He cautiously took two steps closer then rushed the rest of the distance. The movement caused the cage to shake. It was being hung by a thin chain from the ceiling.
"Lenore? Lenore are you okay? What's wrong? Where the hell are we?" He put his hands to her shivering arm and shook her gently, his view of her face blocked by her hair. But he saw the blood and tears dripping down to the floor of the cage and guessed at what happened. They were back at the psycho's house! He was the one who was just here! And Lenore's current condition worried her friend.
Seeing the blood did not invoke the instinct of a vampire: to feed. Weither it was the scent of the embalment fuilds or another, rarer, instinct of friendship and the need to defend, Ragamuffin was suddenly overcome with emotions: anger, worry, and a need for vengeance. Hell yes, the sight of blood made him hungry but that didn't matter right now! It was probably the scent of the preservatives the promoted it but the little rag doll was not very happy.

Wheehoo! How's THAT for a chapta? I tried a new style of writing, I'm unsure if it worked. Unfortunately I was starting to sound kind of Disney-ish and had to revert back to MY style of suckyness(my 'superior-style' in which I try to sound like I'm trying to be all cool and smart) but what didja think? I almost got humorous when I thought about putting "It was loud enough to wake the dead(pun intended so :P). But it instead woke up Ragamuffin as a substitute, the dead being already awake, with a start". So I took it out. *sighs* I didn't do this chapter the way I wanted to.....when will this tale(from the crypt aka my mind) end?!
