Chapter 3:
Gaz turned the key and opened the door. A huge hall the led to a staircase was in front of them and there were 2 doors on either side. Gaz flipped through the book they received to what appeared to be a layout of the house. They followed her to the first door on their left and went in. It was a small, simple living room, which had a fireplace, two couches, and a large lamp it.
"I think we should put all our belongings that we won't put in our rooms here." Gaz suggested.
Dib was a little shocked that his sister was not buried in her Game Slave 2, but decided not to mention anything.
"Where are we going to take up residence in this filthy human- burrow of a house?"
Gaz raised an eyebrow and said, " Let's just go to the rooms then."
They followed Gaz to the second level. The stairs seemed pretty well built for such an old house. They went down the right hallway. At the end of it were several more hallways. Zim guessed that the whole house was mostly a maze of hallways.
"I'm taking this one," said Gaz as she slid into one of the rooms.
Keef asked, " May I stay in yooour room, Zim?"
Zim gave Keef a look of pure disgust then replied, " I would not share my room with any one for a million monkeys." Then, Zim shook his head before moving into the room next to the one Dib had claimed. Keef pouted but took the one on the other side of Zim's room and went in.
It was a nice room including a bed, a dresser, and a closet. Keef jumped on the bed and bounced for a minute. The bed had a rigid feeling though Keef got tired of it quickly and just lied down. He was about to go asleep, but then he heard a faint rustling sound. Keef tensioned and was very, very silent. He heard it once again. Keef cautiously looked over the bed. Nothing was to be found. He got down on his hands and knees but still saw nothing. Relieved, he rose up and his eyes stopped on the bed. He nearly had a heart attack. On his bed with light brown including black spots and a bright red ball in its mouth, was a puppy? It stopped playing once it saw Keef. Its eye seemed to glow for a moment, but then it turned and ran out the partially opened door. Keef jumped up and staggered out after it. He looked frantically down the hallways, but didn't see anything. Gaz was standing in front of her door, gazing at him as if he was insane.
"What are you looking for?" Gaz asked.
"Did you see that puppy run out of my room?" asked Keef, wide-eyed. Gaz gave him a blank stare and then went down to store her excess stuff. As Keef watched her back, he pondered whether if he was crazy as Dib or had hallucinations.
