Nightmare Mansion
~Chapter two: Fantasy Mansion?~



Misty was shivering all over. The corridor was pitch black, aside from the lantern Maggie was holding. Coldness creeped out from the walls and smothered Misty, causing her to shiver all over every minute. It seemed like forever, but Maggie finally stopped and turned around to face Misty. There again was the ghost like image of her. Misty's teeth began to chatter as the coldness encircled her again.

"Here is your room, Misty." Maggie said, her icy cold eyes stinging Misty.

Misty gulped and tried to say something but all she could manage was a small whimper. Maggie smiled and faced the door. She placed her hand on the door knob and turned it. She quickly glanced at Misty.

"You will wait out here for a minute. I will check and make sure everything is fine." She said handing Misty her lantern.

Maggie opened the door and crept into the room, closing the door behind her. Misty let out a small sob as she looked back down the corridor and noticed she couldn't see anything but darkness, horrible black darkness. Within the darkness came a faint chuckling. Misty stepped back, ' What was that?..Nothing..it was nothing!' Misty reassured herself. But just as Misty began to calm down, it happened again. This time it was louder. Chuckling. It was coming closer, whatever it was.

"W-Who's there?" Misty said in almost a whisper.

It continued to chuckle, getting closer by the minute.

"Stop it, stop it! Your not there! It's just my imagination!!" Misty pleaded.

Again the chucking rose. Any minute now it would jump out of the shadows and attack her. The room seemed to sway and Misty found her body go numb. She couldn't move. Not one muscle! The chuckling continued and Misty continued to beg for it to go away. She broke into sobs, terrified.

"Stop it!" She screamed, "Ash, somebody, please help me!!!" Misty screamed.

The door swung open to reveal a panicked Maggie.

"Misty?! What is wrong? Are you all right?" She asked worried.

Misty listened. The chuckling, it had stopped. Her heart was still pounding. She glanced at Maggie. Her eyes full of tears.

"Chuckling...it was coming..." Misty whispered out.

"Nonsense." Maggie said a smile creeping onto her face again, "Come your room is ready."

Maggie motioned Misty to take a look inside. Misty took a deep breath, looked behind her one last time, and stepped into the room. A gasp came out of her mouth as she entered. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. It was beautiful! It was beyond beautiful, it was outstanding, gorgeous, wonderful! It was fit for a queen. The room was full of silk cloths hanging down the windows, hanging over the canopy of her bed. There were beautiful Mahogany desks, that sparked with delight. A deep royal blue chair. In the corner though was a odd looking mirror. It seemed to be out of place. It was kind of old looking, not proper to be in a bedroom like this!

"Thank you soo much Ma-..."

Misty turned around to notice her door closed and Maggie nowhere to be seen! Misty turned around and shrugged it off. She had better things on her mind! This room was all to perfect and Misty loved it! She forgot all about the dark corridor outside, the fear she had witnessed, and the odd chuckling coming from the darkness. She was in a heaven, or possibly even better than that of a heaven.

Ten minutes later on a small TV screen Maggie appeared. Misty was too busy looking at that strange mirror to notice her.

"Misty my dear, what are you doing?" Maggie asked skeptically.

Misty jumped around, obviously surprised by Maggie's voice.

"M-Maggie! Oh...I was just looking at it. It seems a little..well..out of place, don't you think?" Misty asked.

"No actually I think it suits the room well." Maggie confirmed.

"Ohh..Anyway what's wrong?" Misty said, changing the subject.

"I am calling you to let you know that dinner will be ready in about 20 minutes." Maggie replied.

"All right, I'll be there!" Misty said waving bye.

"Oh and Misty?...I'd advise you to bring a light with you down the hall...wouldn't want the ghosts to get you.." Maggie said in a dead serious tone.

Misty was frozen to her spot. Maggie's picture disappeared from the mini screen. It all dawned on her now, the hallway, the darkness, that horrible chuckling. Misty turned around to face the door, but something else caught her eye. A window. It was big, with beautiful silk drapes dangling down from it. But it wasn't the window that caught her eye, it was what was outside. A rose garden, a beautiful one. The sun was shining bright over it. Misty felt this urge to go out there, just so she could walk around in the garden. She lifted the window sill, and a light cool breeze blew gently in her face. She signed peacefully. She made up her mind, she was going out! Misty ran over and picked up Togepi.

"Choka choka?" she questioned.

"We're going on a little walk!" Misty confirmed with a bright smile.

She walked back over to the window and jumped out. She and Togepi gazed at the pretty roses as they walked around the garden. They stopped many times along the way, just to smell them. As they walk along the garden, they come to a opening. This part had a fountain right in the middle, it was shooting out water. Misty walked over and sat down on the rim of the fountain. She sat Togepi down and glanced around. Over in the left corner was a tree, a tall shady tree. Hanging from one branch of the tree was a swing. And on the swing was a person. Misty blinked, she jumped up and stared at the person on the swing. She couldn't make out the person's face. But the person was there!

"H-Hello?" Misty shouted over, "Who's over there?" She asked herself.

The figure raised her hand and gestured Misty to come over. Misty grabbed Togepi and ran over to the tree and the person on the swing. As she got closer she could make the person out. It was a girl, around her age. She was pale skinned, looked as though she had been sick. Her hair was thin and hung over her shoulders, a faded brown color. Her eyes were a frosted blue. She waved cheerfully at Misty as she rushed over.

"Is this your garden? I'm sorry it-" Misty began but was cut short buy the girls light laughing.

" It's quite all right." The girls expression turned sad, "I...haven't had a visitor in a long...long..time."

Misty saw the girls eyes shimmer, as though she was going to cry.

"Um-well I'm Misty! " Misty said, trying to sound cheerful.

"Ha ha, I'm Yuuki! It's nice to meet you!" Yuuki said holding out her pale hand.

Misty shook her hand gratefully, "It's nice to meet you too, Yuuki!"

The girl smiled cheerfully and then noticed Togepi. She brightened even more as she bent towards the little egg shaped Pokemon.

"Aww it's soo cute! Is it yours?" Yuuki asked looking up at Misty.

"Yes she is, I'm her mommy." Misty paused as though thinking, "Well..ha ha..not physically!"

Yuuki patted Togepi while Misty watched her. ' Where'd she come from? Is she staying at the mansion?' Misty asked herself. She decided asking herself wasn't going to get her the answers.

"Hey Yuuki.." Misty began.

"Mmm?" Yuuki replied looking up at her.

"Are you staying at the mansion?"

"No." Was all she said.

"Ohh...Do you live around here?" Misty asked confused.

"I live...here." She replied.

"Huh? In the garden-Are you-"

"Hey, why don't we take a walk around?! I know a great spot for picnics!" She exclaimed.

"Yea, that sounds great!" Misty said cheerfully.

She decided not to ask anymore personal questions. Yuuki grabbed Misty's hand and laughed as she pulled Misty down the Garden path. Misty noticed that Yuuki's had was not cold or hot. It had no feel to it, no warmth, no nothing. She shrugged it off as she paid more attention to where they were going. Yuuki led her through allot of paths in the garden. Misty was totally lost but Yuuki looked like she knew exactly where she was going, so Misty didn't worry.

"We're almost there!" Yuuki exclaimed.

"Where is it?!" Misty asked.

Yuuki led her around another corner, and there it was. First they ran past the opening and then they slowed to a stop. Misty had to catch her breath. Yuuki looked around, a smile spread across her face, she looked delighted. Misty looked up and saw, it was beautiful. The sun hit the roses just in the right spot, making them look as though they were glittering. There was a small table in the middle of the opening. It had two chairs, as though it was just for them. A tree stood over the table, casting it in the shade, making it a perfect place to have tea, or a picnic, or anything! Yuuki saw the look of amazement on Misty's face and she giggled.

"Well shall we have our picnic, Misty?" She asked delighted.
