Alright, yup, back with another chapter. It's a race against time to get
this done before Halloween. Anywho, sorry for insulting Picard, but it's
not really insulting, right? Don't worry, it will all make sense in the
end. Maybe. Okay, so it probably won't, but it's nice to say.

Right...
Chapter 5: The Hall of Mirrors
"Ah, you're awake."
Felix opened his eyes and groaned. "Wh-where am I?"
He was bound hand and foot to a table. He tried to look around,
but everything was dark. He might as well have left his eyes closed.
"You're in the Chamber of Ultimate Torture," a voice a pure evil
said, cackling. "You won't make it out alive."
"NOOOO!!!!"
*******
"Hey, did you hear something?" Alex asked.
"Nope," Isaac shook his head.
"Why, did you?" Picard asked.
Alex shrugged. "I think I'm just hearing stuff. Probably a side
effect of the lack of oxygen."
"Or the stew," Ivan added.
"Look, a door," Sheba pointed to the end of the hallway. After
Felix's disappearance, they had left the kitchen, and had been walking
for some time down a dark, empty hallway that had mysteriously been
devoid of any life except for them.
"I'll get it," Garet cast Heat Wave, knocking the door in.
Everyone stared at him. "What? Now it can't melt into the wall and
disappear like the last three doors have."
"He has a point," Isaac nodded. First the front door, then the
kitchen, then the other kitchen door."
"Let's just get this over with," Mia scowled at the smoking hole
that had been the door. "I DO want to get some sleep tonight."
They went through the doorway and once the last person (again,
Picard) had stepped through, it sealed itself up.
"Well, so much for our destroying the door theory," Mia glared at
Garet.
"It was more to let off steam anyway," Garet defended himself.
"You can knock the next door down, Mia."
"Well, I guess it IS more exciting then just opening it," Sheba
admitted.
"And if a flesh eating fishman is on the other side then it'll
knock him out cold and we'll be saved!" Jenna said.
That was when they bothered to take a look at their surroundings.
They were in what appeared to be a maze, and the walls were covered
with...
"Mirrors?" Isaac looked around.
"What's a mirror?" Picard asked.
That was when the creepy rhyming singing voice began explaining.
"Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors!
The Mirror will show you what you fear!
It's impossible for you to escape..."
They all stood around blinking as the creepy rhyming faded into
silence, along with the cheesy music that always seemed to accompany it.
"This doesn't sound too bad," Alex leaned into one mirror. "Now
I can check my hair."
"I can do this!" Jenna looked into another mirror.
"ACK!" Alex jumped back from his mirror. "Spiders! SPIDERS!
GET 'EM OFF OF ME!!!"
Jenna sunk to her knees, her eyes wide. "LET ME OUT!! LET ME
OUT!!!!!"
"What are you guys talking about?" Isaac asked, then turned to
his own mirror. "Ugh....too high! WAY too high! Let me down! Let me
down!"
"Ugh! I need air!" Garet yelled, grasping his throat. "All of
this water...the water...it's suffocating me!"
"I'm all alone! Everyone's dead!" Mia shrieked.
"It's really dark...does someone have a candle?" Sheba whispered.
"Is anyone there?"
"No! Not the clowns! Anything but the clowns!" Ivan yelled.
"Get them away from me!"
"Hey, snap out of it!" Picard waved his arms. "They're just
mirrors!"
"Hairy...leggy...get 'em off," Alex muttered.
"Wide open spaces, wide open spaces," Jenna muttered, her eyes
closed.
"Jenna!" Picard grabbed her shoulders and shook her. Jenna
opened her eyes, the spell was broken.
"What?!" she yelled.
"Wow, it worked," Picard grinned. "It's just a mirror."
Everyone broke out of their trances and looked at Picard.
"That's right, Picard isn't afraid of anything!" Sheba grinned.
Isaac sighed with relief, still pale and shaking. "Wow...thanks
Picard. I'm glad that's over."
"I'm so glad you're all alive!" Mia shouted, running around and
ugging everyone. She paused when she got to Alex. "Except for you."
"Uh...thanks," Alex muttered.
"Thanks for being fearless, Picard," Ivan thanked him.
"Thanks for being afraid of clowns, Ivan," Garet laughed at him.
Picard looked at them all solemnly. "There is one thing I'm
afraid of."
"Oh really," Isaac rubbed his neck from where Mia had squeezed it
too hard.
The Lemurian nodded, then pointed at Jenna. "I'm
afraid of Jenna, but I knew she was right there and that the Jenna in
the mirror wasn't real."
"Good ol' Picard," Garet slapped him on the back. "I guess being
clueless has some advantages."
"Huh?"
"Nevermind, Picard. Nevermind."
Ivan: I'm not afraid of clowns!
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "Yes you are"::
Ivan: Am not!
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "Are too"::
Boys, don't make me come over there.
Ivan: But-
Not buts.
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "That could make it difficult to sit
down"::
ISAAC!
Isaac: ::holds up a sign that says "For more fan fics and me, R&R!"::
Ivan: I'm not afraid of clowns.
