Nightmare Mansion
Chapter 5 ~Haunted Room~
Ash knocked on the door again. Still, there was no answer. Ash and Pikachu were standing in front of Misty's bedroom door, a tray full of snacks in Ash's hands, a bottle of ketchup in Pikachu's. Again, Ash knocked a third time.
"Misty? C'mon, I'm sorry 'bout the whole room thing! I love the room, really..." Ash was now pleading, "Myst...please.."
Ash trailed off as he looked down at the ground. Just then, he really took noticed to how old and moldy the floor was. A little egg shaped pokemon came into Ash's view as it ran up to the door and patted gently on it, crying.
"Choka choka!" (Mommy!) she cried out.
"Misty, Togepi misses you! I've got snacks out here...uh...OH C'MON MISTY!!!" Ash yelled, getting really annoyed.
"Pikachu-pi!" (Misty!) Pikachu yelled.
"Chok..."
Togepi began to weep as it slumped down to the ground. Pikachu sat down his ketchup bottle and walked over to Togepi, picked her up in his arms, and rocked her gently.
"Pika pika...pikachu." (Don't you worry...everythings all right.) Pikachu said soothingly.
Ash walked up to the door and jiggled the doorknob. To his surprise, it was unlocked! He quickly turned it and the door creakily came open. Ash raises his lantern to light up the pitch black room before him. The light lingered into the room, making the shadow's hide in there spots, ready to jump out and engulf Ash, Pikachu, and Togepi in their total blackness.
Ash, Pikachu, and Togepi all gasped at the scene, Ash dropped the tray of snacks he was holding, causing the tray to shatter into a million peices. Ash was to astounded to even take notice to the shattered tray. The room was not like it was before! The walls were all covered in dust, mold, and filth. Cob webs covered every inch of the room. Each and every inch, execpt for one spot. The mirror. In the room, it was the one misplaced thing. It was the one thing clean. No cob webs hung on it, not one speck of dirt lay on it. Chills ran throughout Ash's body, causing his teeth to chatter. Togepi began to fuss and Pikachu was frozen to the spot, unable to move.
"Wha..." was all Ash could manage.
In a frantic rage, Ash stepped out of the bedroom and slammed the door, hoping to god he was just seeing things! Rapidly, he swung the door open again. Still, the same thing. Old dirty room, century's old. He slammed the door and once again yanked it open. A gasp came out of his mouth as he intook what he saw. Pikachu's eyes widened yet again. The room, it changed. It was no longer the century old room, it was the room he first saw when Misty showed it to him. Clean, sunny, and most of all, had that eerie, unnatural feeling to it.
"W-What in the world is going on?!" Ash yelled, baffled.
"P-Pika pika?!" Pikachu asked the same.
"Choka choka bree..." (Mommy no see...) whined Togepi.
Ash's head jerked up at what Togepi said. Misty. She was right, Misty wasn't there! No where! Ash panicked. 'Misty! Where's Misty?!' Ash's head screamed. 'That room, it ate her! ..No..that's not possible.' Ash reasoned with himself. 'Something happened to her...but...what..'
"ASH!! How dare you take my food without asking, then go and brake my antique glass tray!!" Maggie's yells broke through Ash's thoughts.
"...huh?..." Ash asked, bewildered.
"YOU!!!" Ash yelled, his brain working again, "What did you do with Misty?"
"I did nothing to Misty." Maggie said, sounding somewhat confused.
"Misty's gone and you did something to her!!!!" He shouted in a craze.
"I told you-"
"AND I know about the room!!" He shouted, cutting her off.
Maggie stared at him in horror. Ash's madness was soon replaced with a sly grin. He huffed and began to laugh.
"That's right, I know about the room." Ash continued, cockily.
"You know nothing." came Maggie's harsh voice.
Ash cringed at Maggie's harsh tone. He stood there silently as he watched her bend down and begin to sweep up the brocken peices of the tray. He blew his chance to fool her into believing that he knew something, but at least he got something out of her! She must know something about the room, since she claims he know nothing.
"What do you know about the room?" he questioned.
"Go back to your room, you have caused enough trouble already." she simply stated, ignoring his question.
"What?!" Ash yelled, his anger rising, "I know that you have something to do with that horrible room and Misty's disappearance!!!!"
"What's going on out here? Can't a girl get her beauty sleep?" Misty questioned, opening the door.
"M-Misty.." Ash breathed out, "but...but.."
He didn't even bother trying to finish his sentence, he was too confused. His brain was asking so many questions, how, why, when, what? He was completely and entirely confused. All this confusion made his head ache, so he began to rub his temples in frustration. He finally just looks back at Maggie with his confused look. This made her smile. Ash fumed at her amuzed look.
"Ash, Maggie? What are you two doing out here?" Misty asked.
"Well Misty, dear," Maggie began, her eyes flashing with amusement, "Ash came all this way just to shatter my antique tray and acuse me of kidnapping you!"
"What?" Misty asked looking at Ash for answers.
"Well she...and the room...you..." he soon trailed off.
"I'm terribly sorry Maggie, Ash can get a little carried away sometimes." Misty apologized.
"I did not get carried away! I was just worried about you!" Ash yelled.
"Ash it's late and you look tired. You should go rest." Misty said sweetly.
"I'm telling you-...huh?" he said dumbfounded.
"It's very nice of you to worry about me Ash." she smiled, "but now I'm getting worried about you, go rest."
"uhh..." Ash just blinked, still lost. "..Okay.."
Ash took one last glance at Misty before he walked away. Was it just him, or did she look like the one who needed some sleep. Her skin was pale, paler than usual. He quickly shrugged it off as he watched Pikachu hand Misty Togepi.
"Pika pika." (Here ya go.)
"Oh...Togepi!" Misty cuddled the baby pokemon in her arms, "Did ya have fun with Pikachu?"
"Choka!" (Yes!) chirped Togepi.
"Ya know Pikachu, I think Togepi would really like it if you keep on playing with her like this." Misty said, touching Pikachu's noise.
Pikachu wiggled his noise and replied, "Pika?" (You sure?)
"That's what you want, isn't it Togepi?"
"Choka choka!" (Yes, yes!) she replied, chirping.
"You up to it Pikachu?" she asked patting him on the head.
"Pikachu!" (Sure!)
Misty handed Togepi to Pikachu and smiled. Pikachu dashed up to Ash's side and looked up at him with a big, happy smile. Ash couldn't help but laugh at his buddy's cute smile.
"All right Pikachu, let's go get some sleep."
He turned around and faced Misty one last time before heading down the hallway. He gave her a warm smile, and to his surprise, she returned it. Just seeing her smile at him like that, made the butterfly's in his stomach flutter.
"G'night Myst...see ya in the morning?" Ash said, making more of a question, than a statement.
"G'night Ash. I'll see ya when I get up."
With that she turned around and walked into her room. Ash sighed and turned around to face the dark hallway. 'Tomorrow I'll spend the whole day with her! That way there's no way she'll get out of my site!' he told himself. 'I'll take her to a lake or something near by. Just me and her. Yea, that sounds great!' Ash told himself, proudly. Energy soon flowed through his veins at the thought of a whole day being spent, with just him and Misty. He soon broke out into an all out run, down the hallway.
"Pika pi! Pikachu!" (Ash! Wait up!) Pikachu yelled after him.
"Choka choka, choka bree!" (Daddy run fast!) Togepi squealed.
