Demon: ok, I know I did all that happy fun stuff in the last chapter, but not this time. Nope, nope, nope.

4: well it looks ta me ya already did.

Demon: oh. Well I don't own the Kids Next Door or Holes. That was the disclaimer.

4: yeah we know

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up in a strange place, not even a place. Just a pitch-black room. "Hullo?" No answer, just an echo. Something about this place made it feel fake; but than so real at the same time. I couldn't decide which it was. I looked at my hand, still pale. I reached up to touch my gash, it was gone. How could something that deep be gone already? I figured I wanted to get out of here, but how? I decided to find a wall then there were have to be a door somewhere along the wall. I never thought I was that smart. (4:Hey! Demon: lol) So I ran forward until I hit something. I made one mistake, my hands weren't out. So I kept running, and running, and running. Until I passed out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought I heard voices. "ey-bah-our-al-?" "eloooooo" "e's-onna-ull-oo" "an-oo-ear-e-ver-an-out-ha ha" I opened my eyes. I saw Numbah 1, 2, 3, and 5 leaning over me. They were all blurry and spinning. I clenched my eyes shut once more. Then I opened them again to see everything back to normal. I sat up, I was still in the same room where I had passed out. I looked down at my hand; it wasn't pale any more. "Numbah 4, what happened?" Numbah 1 asked me. "Well, I'm not really sure." I told him. "Yeah, you were like 'uhhh' then you fell down." Numbah 3 imitated me falling down. "How long was I out?" Numbah 2 opened his mouth but didn't say anything. "Well, we don know for sure. We wasn't watchin the clock." Numbah 5 said. I remembered that dream again, I touched my gash, but it was gone. Just like in the dream! This was all too weird. I decided to tell them about what had happened. "Uhh, guys, I ave something ta tell you." I wasn't sure I wanted to anymore. "Well, what is it?" Numbah 1 asked me. I shoved my hands in my pockets. "Well, I forgot." I couldn't tell, I just couldn't. "So soon?" Said Numbah 2. Numbah 1 raised an eyebrow. "Well alright then." They all walked off except Numbah 5. She glanced at me. "Whatever." She went with them. I watched them leave the room not knowing what to think. I watched the door for a while after they left and decided to watch a movie.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don't like too many kinds of movies, so I just randomly picked out one. I "randomly chose" Holes. Not one of my favorites, but oh well. {A/N: ok, I actually like this movie, so don't go saying "but that's a great movie" blah blah, OR saying stuff like "that movie sux"} I had been watching for a while and got to the part where they were climbing the mountain. More specifically, the part where zero uses the shovel to help Stanley up the mountain. Yeah you get the point. When I saw the part where zero's looking down at his cuts I remembered what my gash, cut whatever you want to call it; had been almost that deep. I had gotten it the day I told you about a while ago. It had been yesterday, but it felt like five minutes ago.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We had just arrived at the DCFDTL's house. I think we were there because of some weapon they stole from us in our last battle. We each had a weapon in hand except Numbah 1. We slowly entered the main room of the house. It was dark and we couldn't see. Then all of a sudden, the lights turned on. There waiting for us were those cruddy DCFDTL. I always hated when the DCFDTL talk, they sound so stupid. "Hello Kids Next Door. We were expecting you." Right after they finished saying that, they started shooting at us with these star-like blades. We made sure to dodge all of them. Numbah 1 was just running around trying not to get hit. Numbah 2 had his flying backpack thing on so he was flying around dodging them. Numbah 3 was cart wheeling around them. Numbah 5 was just melting them with her ray gun. Me, I was sending them right back to the DCFDTL with the S.P.L.A.K.E.R. I was doing pretty well, until I missed one aimed right at my face. It hit me hard, right on my cheek. It hurt like heck! After they had hit me they stopped firing and left. What wimps! Numbah 5 rushed over because she was the closest, followed by Numbahs 1, 2, and 3. "Numbah 4, you ok?" Numbah 5 asked. "I don't know." I replied. "Kids Next Door! Back to HQ!" Numbah 1 announced. So we left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The movie was over and Numbah 5 was already making lunch. I walked into the kitchen to see what she was up to. "Hey Numbah 5." She didn't know I was there and jumped just the littlest bit. "Oh, hey Numbah 4, what's up?" "Not much, you?" I answered. "What does it look like I'm doin?" She looked at me with a 'duh' expression on her face. "Uhh, cookin?" I replied. She rolled her eyes at me. Well she did ask. Numbah 2 walked into the kitchen. He could always smell food, even from a mile away. "Hey Numbah 5, watcha cookin?" Numbah 2 asked hungrily. "Mac' and cheese." She answered. He sat down, already waiting for it to be done. I knew Numbah 5 took a long time to make macaroni and cheese so I went to my room. I was bored so I decided to fight one of those robots I had. I was setting it to how hard I wanted it. There were four different choices, Hard, Medium, Easy, and So Easy You Must Be A Wimp. That one I had thought up, every time I look at that I always end up laughing. I didn't this time though, I just didn't feel like it. I turned it on Hard, I usually did. I got in the ring and started fighting it. It wasn't any different from before, but after this morning I felt a little uneasy about this. Maybe I should have set it on Medium.wait what was I thinking? My thoughts had distracted me from the fight, the robot socked me right in my chin. I stumbled back words; the robots were pretty strong. Knowing it had won, the robot automatically turned off. I was bleeding slightly on my chin, but not much. I got up and wiped the little amount of blood onto my sleeve. I should've paid attention. Oh well. I could tell that lunch was done because I could hear Numbah 2 scarfing down his macaroni already. I walked into the kitchen. Numbahs 5, 2, and 3 were there. Numbah 1 was probably working on some new defense or something.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Halfway though lunch Numbah 1 finally came to eat lunch. He looked tired. "What took you so long?" Numbah 3 asked him. I was working on some security cameras; I wanted to have them finished before lunch. I plan to put them up right after." Numbah 1 itched his back and sat down. I stood up. "We don't need no cruddy cameras our defense is strong enough!" "You never know Numbah 4, someone could strike at any moment." Numbah 1 had a point; I sat down and finished eating. After I was done I snuck into Numbah 1's room. I looked on the table; there were about ten small cameras on it. I picked one up to examine it. It looked pretty high tech, different from most of our weapons or defense items. I wasn't familiar with this kind of stuff but I could tell it must have a clear picture and at least have sound. Little did I know, these cameras would be very important later.
