Chapter 6: Vladimir
Six minutes ago they had finished their rest and had started up the old, damp and musty stairs. They reached the top of the stairs at two-forty am. They headed down the hall to Vladimir's room; they reached the hallway leading to his door five minutes later. "What happened!" Said Fox, taking in the scene: Benjamin was lying on the floor...not moving...or breathing, Vladimir's door was ripped off it's hinges and it was lying on the ground like a discarded toy. "He's Dead!" Fox said after checking his pulse. "What killed him?" Marvin asked. "It looks like Vladimir killed him!" Fox answered. "Well, lets go in and get him!" Said Marvin. They all walked through the doorframe into a short hall that was lined with statues, the figures of all the statues were the same: a robe with a hood and the hood was covering the figures face; its paw was holding a lantern. They walked down the short hallway and up to the door. Fox put his paw around the door, but it was locked, "Try the key!" Wolf suggested. "Okay, here it goes!" Said Fox. He slid the key into the lock...it worked! The door slid open, and into Vladimir's Room they went.
Vladimir's quarters were a mess: papers, books and furniture were thrown about as if someone had searched the place. They all noticed a mouse, slumped against the wall with blood all over his black robes and his face. "That's Vladimir!" Marvin said. They ran over to him, "So your responsible for all of this!" said Wolf angrily. Vladimir began to speak: "You...don't understand, I came here...six seasons ago...as a healer, not a warlock...I went to the catacombs late one night...I found a goblet...Samuels goblet...I was possessed by it...while I was possessed by it, I performed a ceremony... it called forth those demons...but I was not controlling them...someone else did...then earlier a fox came...he injured me badly...he threw me about, that's how I became injured...he then searched the room...he took... the goblet...I think that's what... he was after. "I think...before I die I may be able to help you...the spell... it will wear off at sundown, and the demons will go back to Hellgates...were they belong...but before you leave...please, kill the boss monster...and set the souls of the innocent free...to pass on." "I'm sorry for what I did...I didn't mean to hurt anyone...goodbye." With that his eyes closed, for the last time. "Were are we going to find this "Boss" monster?" Wolf asked. A familiar female voice seemed to answer him in a soft tone, it said: "The roof...try the roof." only Wolf had seemed to hear the voice. "How about we try the Roof of the building." Wolf said. "Well, why not." A.J., Fox and Marvin said. "Okay everyone lets get ready for the final showdown!" Fox said.
