Chapter 7:
The End?... I Don't Think So...
Kyle's Story
When we got home -- at least to my Aunt and Uncle's place -- the three of us just wanted to go to bed immediately! My dad called again, and I answered it. Basically he just asked if everything was okay and all. I was glad to actually tell the truth about that!
Right now, I just got out of the bathroom from changing my clothes. My pajamas look AWESOME! My pants were flamed looking and my shirt was black with SpongeBob's friend, Patrick on it. I love these pajamas...
As I got out of the bathroom, I saw Lindsey come up the stairs and smile at me.
Lindsey: You would think we would be scared stiff from what happened to us today!
Me: We were scared stiff, but not stiff enough to be very tired!
Lindsey: Uh-huh!
Lindsey said good-night to me and went into her bedroom and shut the door. I than went downstairs to check on Joey. He was already laying down on his bed, starting to fall asleep. When he saw me, he sat up and looked at me with tired eyes.
Joey: (rudely) What do you want?
Me: (sarcastic) Thanks, I needed that! But seriously, how are you? You know, with everything that happened tonight?
Joey: (sarcastic) Kyle, this isn't the first time we've seen anything "strange."
Me: That's true, but our "strangeness" never came into our world!
Joey: Oh, right... but I'm okay. I'm just very tired now.
Me: Me too.
Joey: (rudely) So leave my room than!
Me: Fine! Geesh!
As soon as I left Joey's room, he slammed and locked his door. I turned to his door and shook my head.
Me: (to myself) How rude, man!
I turned off all the lights and the TV downstairs, before I went back up. When I got upstairs, I walked in between Lindsey's room and the parents bedroom to the "towel closet" and got a blanket and pillow for myself. As I said a long time ago, I was going to sleep on the couch in the family room, because that's basically the place I'm most comfortable sleeping on.
When I made a "bed" for myself on the couch, I turned off all the lights and than I laid down; covering myself up.
I was very tired, so falling asleep wasn't a problem... except, I kept hearing strange noises. I sat up and looked around to where these noises might be coming from, but they suddenly stopped.
I shrugged and laid back down, closing my eyes to try to fall asleep, but the noises came back up again; and this time, they were louder.
I was getting mad, so I got up -- with my flashlight in hand -- I looked around to where the noises might be coming from. Yet again, I couldn't hear anything anymore.
Me: (annoyed) This is really getting annoying! Where is that noise coming from?
I stood up for a couple more seconds before I cooled down and laid on the couch again. I turned myself to bury my head in the couch, so I couldn't hear the noises, but I didn't hear anything. I felt more relieved that they finally went away, so I turned the other way to get more comfortable.
When I opened my eyes slightly, I could see that something was in front of me... something that I wished I would never see again. It was Slappy, and he was only inches away from my face!
Slappy: (coolly) Were you looking for me?... Heh heh heh heeeh...
I gasped loudly and sat up quickly to move to the other end of the couch. I saw Slappy laugh hysterically, but than he suddenly looked like he was about to hack-up something onto the couch. When he threw-up, a nasty looking frog came out! I screamed.
Slappy: Oooh... A FROG IN MY THROAT! OWAH HAH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHH!!
I jumped off the couch and stormed downstairs to warn Joey about Slappy's return. As I did, I could here Slappy calling out... to who? I don't know.
Slappy: (calling out) MWAH HA HAH! My bride! MY BRIDE!! YAH HA HAHAHAHAHH!!
As I reached Joey's bedroom, the door instantly swung opened and out came a tired and grumpy Joey.
Joey: (grumpily) Kyle, what's going on?!
Me: (scared) It's Slappy! He's back!
Joey: (scared/ shocked) Kyle... please tell me you're joking...
The two of us looked up at the ceiling as we heard Slappy laugh again. Joey looked at me in horror.
Joey: (terrified) You're not joking...
Me: (scared) No I'm not; and we have to get out of here before Slappy traps us inside!
Joey nodded quickly in agreement, but than he began to look around me for something.
Joey: (very worriedly) Where's Lindsey?!
Me: (shocked) Oh my gosh...
Right on cue, we heard Lindsey scream.
Me and Joey: LINDSEY!
The two of us ran upstairs and to her bedroom. Her door was shut and when Joey tried to open it, it was locked tight!
Lindsey: (from other side/ screaming) HELP ME! HELP ME!!
Slappy: MWAH AHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
Me: (scared) Lindsey!
Joey turned to me.
Joey: Kyle, we have to ram the door! That's the only way to get in!
Me: Okay...
Me and Joey didn't really have to count to "three" to ram the door down, we just did it immediately at the same time! When the door was rammed, we broke off bits and pieces of the door, but me and Joey didn't care. Once inside Lindsey's bedroom, we gasped. Lindsey was standing on top of her bed, with her back pressed against the wall, while Slappy was next to the bed trying to grab at her feet. We also noticed that some of Lindsey's dolls came alive and are now helping Slappy scare her to death!
Everyone stopped doing what they did, turned and looked at us.
Slappy: (happily) Hey! Look whose come to join the party! Better late than never, heh heh heh...
Joey looked more angry than scared at Slappy.
Joey: (angry) Leave Lindsey alone, you dumb doll!
Slappy: You tried to outsmart the dummy again, didn't ya? Well guess what? The dummy has outsmarted YOU AGAIN! YEH HEH HEH HEH HEEEHH!!
I took a couple steps ahead and looked suspicious.
Me: (quietly) You... you planned this all out, didn't you? You knew we would try to get rid of you; out in the river. You wanted this to happen so we would all go back home, where you would trap us here...
Joey looked at me shockingly for coming up with something like that, while Slappy clapped his wooden hands slowly.
Slappy: Well, aren't you the smarty-pants around here, but it don't matter now, because I made sure that you brats won't escape this time!
Slappy started to laugh and so did the other dolls that came to life. While their defense was down, I very quickly ran to the bed and got Lindsey to come off. Slappy noticed this and tried to grab me.
Joey ran out of the room with me, but when he did I quickly turned around and tried to close the door, so Slappy and Lindsey's dolls couldn't escape. I was struggling, though.
Slappy: (trying to push open door) OOHH, YOU CAN RUN, BUT YOU CANNOT HIDE!! AH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
Me: (worriedly) Joey! Lindsey! Help me!
Joey and Lindsey quickly came up to the door and helped me push it shut. I turned to Joey.
Me: Lets try to leave through your window!
Joey: Okay.
The three of us ran down the stairs and into Joey's bedroom. He quickly closed the door and locked it, while I got on top of his bed and opened up his small window. Just when I did though, Slappy suddenly appeared from outside it. I screamed and jumped off the bed.
Slappy: Miss meeeee?... AWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
I ran up to Joey and so did Lindsey.
Me: (frantically) Open the door, open the door, open the door, open the door!!
Joey hurried up and unlocked the door. All three of us bolted right out and hid behind the couch in the living room, while I hid behind the lounge chair with my back against it. All of us were breathing heavily, frightened, and shocked.
Joey: (scared) How do we get out of here?
Me: We have to kill Slappy...
Lindsey: (worriedly) How are we supposed to do that when we're trapped here?
I was silent for a moment, until an idea popped in my head.
Me: Hey, your dad -- my uncle -- he builds things for you... rooms, desks; doesn't he have some kind of saw or something?!
Joey: Yes, out in the backyard... in the shed, why?
Me: We need to use that to kill Slappy, but I haven't figured out how to get Slappy over there, though...
Seconds after that, Slappy suddenly appeared from around the lounge chair; his face close to mine. I screamed as I moved away from him.
Slappy: I've -- found -- you! HA HA HAHAHAHA, MWAH HAHAH HAH!!
I gasped loudly when he tried to grab me, and that's when I got out from behind the chair and darted upstairs, but unfortunately Joey and Lindsey didn't follow, for they were trapped; trapped by Slappy and Lindsey's dolls!
I don't know when the dolls came down, but I waited up stairs by the railing and out of sight from downstairs. I just sat there and listened... (afterwards, Joey and Lindsey told me what they saw and heard from the dolls and dummies, so I'll put their viewpoints down...)
The dolls dragged Lindsey and Joey out from behind the couch and used the blankets from the towel closet to tie them up. The two were helpless from Slappy now! I started to get scared, because I was alone now to rescue them...
Slappy laughed and looked at the two happily.
Slappy: So... I've finally got you two... all I need is one more, and I can make you ALL my slaves! MWEH HEH HEH HEEHH!!
Joey and Lindsey looked at each other, than back at Slappy, while I moved down a couple of steps to get a better view to what was going on.
Slappy: (happily) Soon I'll have my beautiful bride...
He went into his chest pocket and brought out a beautiful and sparkly looking ring. Lindsey recognized it instantly.
Lindsey: (shocked) That's my mom's ring! The ring that dad's going to give to mom for their anniversary!
Joey: (shocked/ to Slappy) You had the ring all this time?!
Slappy: Yeah... I stole it for the special occasion...
Joey looked mad.
Joey: (angry) Don't even think about marrying Lindsey, Slappy! She thinks you're gross, anyway!
Slappy looked confused for a split second, and than he started his maniacal laughter again.
Slappy: (laughing) LINDSEY?! You thought I wanted to marry that little brat?! AH HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
Lindsey and Joey were shocked.
Joey: (confused) Wait a minute... you would always look at Lindsey oddly though... you would always stare at her...
Slappy: I just like scarring the little twit! That's all! HA HA HAH!! I don't wanna marry Lindsey, I want... HER!!
Slappy turned around and pointed up the stairs to... me!! I backed up into the wall as he looked directly at me. Joey and Lindsey looked VERY shocked.
Joey: (shocked) KYLE?! You want to marry Kyle?!
Slappy: I'll make her mine forever! FOREVER MY SLAVE TO BE, MWAH HAH HAH HAH HAHAHAHAHH!!
I stood up and looked around the room, frightened. I couldn't defeat Slappy alone, it would be too hard. Slappy's allot smarter than the three of us thought he was.
The kitchen was the next room in front of me, and in there, was the patio door that led to the backyard. I ran to the door and opened it, and I'm glad it wasn't locked up. I looked outside for the shed, until I saw it in the lower right corner of the yard.
I walked out onto the wooden deck and realized that I was wearing nothing on my feet, so I couldn't run as fast as I wanted too; let alone, walk!
I slowly moved straight forward to the small steps that led off the deck, but than I heard something coming closer to me. I turned around and didn't see anything, but I quickly went up to the patio door and closed it. As I did, I saw Slappy suddenly appear from the other side.
Slappy: MWAH HAH HAHAHAHAHAHH!! My bride!! MY BRIDE!! OWAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH!!
I turned back around and hurriedly walked across the deck to its steps. I went down them and ran across the grass to the shed, but unfortunately the door was shut tight; making it very hard to open. As Slappy was trying to open the patio door, I frantically tried to pull on the handles to open the doors to the shed. When I finally got the shed door to open, I quickly ran inside and shut it behind me. There was a light switch next to me so I turned it on to see my surroundings better.
Me: (surprised) Wow! This shed is allot bigger from the inside...
From out in the backyard, the shed looked pretty small, but on the inside it looked as almost as big as the house I was just in! The shed had two floors: a top floor and a basement looking floor; I was on the top floor right now. I looked around to see that the walls and the floors were all wood of light color. I started to freak, because I was barefoot!
I'm guessing the bottom floor might have what I'm looking for to destroy Slappy, because there was nothing on my floor, but huge blocks of wood and some furniture made from that wood.
I took a couple steps to the stairs that led down, but suddenly I heard the shed doors rattle and bang furiously. I shrieked loudly, knowing that it must be Slappy trying to get in.
Slappy: (from other side) Just face it; you three are MINE!...
The problem was, I didn't WANT to face it! I don't want to be a slave to that dummy, no matter how terrified I was. I try to move as fast as I could to the small stairs ahead of me, but I knew I had to get to them before Slappy came in. When I made it to the stairs, I very slowly went down the steps, to try to not get splinters or something worse ( I'm paranoid, so what do you expect?! )
As I took my first step down, the rattling and banging became even furious than ever! I tried to forget my paranoia, as I quickly walked down the stairs to the bottom. I think I may have gotten a few splinters in my feet, but I didn't care right now.
I looked around in the basement floor and saw what I was looking for: In the upper right corner of the large room, was a cutting machine -- with a sharp blade in the middle, of course -- used to cut large blocks of wood. I walked around the room to look for some kind of switch to turn on the machine, but I didn't know where it would be though; and that wasn't my only problem: I had to try to find some way to get Slappy on that cutting blade when the machine turns on.
Me: (worriedly/ to myself) Where's that switch... there must be a way to turn this thing on...
Suddenly, I heard laughter fill the shed, but I don't know where it's coming from! I looked around frantically for the voice.
(voice that sounds very familiar) Hee hee, lights-out brat!
I heard a very loud clicking sound, but than all the power went out! I shrieked silently, and just outside I could hear rain coming down with the sounds of thunder. Unfortunately, I didn't have my flashlight on me; now I'm completely blind in this pitch black shed. I mean, you could not see ANYTHING in this place; not even what's in front of you! I got REALLY scared. I didn't want to move anywhere, because I might step on something that can cut my feet, or I might back up into one of the machines' blades!
The laughter got closer to me... I already knew it was Slappy's voice I hear, but the scary thing is, I don't know where he is! It sounds like he's everywhere!
Me: (scared/ to myself) What am I gonna do?... What can I do?...
I than heard something come up from behind me.
Slappy: Heh heh heh heeehh... got -- cha...
I screamed as Slappy grabbed me.
