And She Died

By AlluringRaptureX

Chapter 1: Mary and Paul

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Kingdom Hospital characters. All Rights Reserve to Mr. King. I do however own two characters in this story. Enjoy.

The halls of the kingdom had been quiet for some time now and Mary was

unsure of what to do at the moment. Paul hadn't bothered her for at least two days now and it sort of bothered her. A blessing, but also a curse. Besides that there had been no deaths or tragic illnesses (which would have lead to death) for her to ring her ash covered bell. Antibus seemed to be occupied for quite some time now too. Mary hadn't seen him lately, only when she occasionally passed by him. Something seemed wrong and she knew there must be a disturbance some where.

So upon having nothing to do at that exact moment, she went looking for Druse. Who also, by the way, hadn't been around much. But Mary figured Dr. Hook and Dr. Draper's plan to keep Sally here as long as possible must have died. Stegman always found a way to ruin things. Just when Mary thought she'd get her help. So close to being saved, yet so far away. It was rather quite depressing. "Druse!" she called out.

No one answered her. Mary was so sure Sally would be wandering the halls by now. She'd always be holding that pendulum in her left hand and calling out "Little girl! Little girl answer me if you can hear me!"

Usually Mary wouldn't answer, but for some reason now she wished she had. Walking towards Peter Rickman's room she got this weird sensation she was being followed. Turning quickly she saw nothing behind her. "Hello?" her voice was hesitant and shaky.

"Oh there you are Mary…" a cackled voice called out. Mary's heart sank(or rather she felt a sinking feeling inside her chest, since her being dead and all). So this is where Paul had been. Waiting for her to get so bored that she'd eventually visit Peter and then, BAM! He'd have her. Most likely torture her or torment her in the worse way possible.

Paul stepped out of no where with a devious grin on that pale and dark face of his. Gave Mary the shivers. "What do you want, you haven't bothered me for two days. Why now?"

"I was looking for you these past two days." He growled.

Mary's head tilted and a few thoughts crossed her mind. Like how and why did it take two days to find her? "Why so long?" she bravely asked.

Paul's head turned to the side and he really was getting tired of talking. Mary noticed this too, but something inside her made her feel bolder then she really was. "I asked you why it has taken you so long?"

Paul's head snapped up in amusement. "Don't sound like you wanted me to find you."

"Maybe I did…." She muttered. Maybe being alone for exactly two days straight had gotten to her head. Whatever it was, she felt this unspeakable courage arising in her.

"What was that?" His face twisted a bit. Was she really expected to talk like that to him and get away with it? Certainly not. So he strolled over to her and picked her up by the back of her collar of her dress. "Listen you brat, you have no place in this hospital to talk to me like that!"

"And you have no right to torture me like this!" Mary cried out.

Suddenly the hospital shook and Paul stumbled backwards, losing his grip on the little girl. Mary plummeted to the floor and began to cry as the building rocked on its foundation. Paul was now on the floor sitting up right just a tad. Was Mary causing this earthquake? Just like all the others? No. This one seemed stronger then any Mary or Antibus had ever caused. Maybe it was Dr. Gottriech. Or….Suddenly things began to fly all over the place. Utensils which were on one side of the room, darted to the other.

Was there another ghost in this hospital that perhaps, just found their way out?

Whatever it was, Paul was dieing to know. So he took a wild guess and called out to Mary "I suppose you know whose doing this!"

Mary shook her tear-faced head "No."

The hospital gave another good rock and a part of the ceiling(which happen to be above Paul) gave way. Falling right on top of him. Of course he felt no pain and of course it didn't damage him, but it sure as hell made him mad. He ghosted his way through it and angrily stomped towards Mary. And just as he neared her, the earthquake gave one finally jolt and he was back where he started. Mary was also thrown in that direction, just inches away from him.

The hospital finally settled down and the lights(which had been flickering) beamed properly once again. Paul lay there, truly not wanting to move again. Mary rolled over on her back and looked at the ceiling. Two tiles had been missing but Mary already knew where they went. She made the next move to sit up right and looked over at Paul. He was staring at nothing, but it seemed he was staring at something. "Paul?" she called softly.

She disliked him, but she never hated him. Mary always knew that in every bad person, there was at least one spot of goodness in them. She also knew that Paul had problems, but they only had gotten worse when number one, he died and number two, he became Dr. Gottriech's assistant. So remembering this she reached a hand over to the fifteen year old and shook his shoulder cautiously. He whipped his head toward her and lashed out at her hand. "Don't touch me!" he snarled. Mary gulped in fear.

Paul twisted her hand and sat up. "Did you think I'd so easily forget the attitude you gave me! Did you!"

Mary didn't want to, but she had no choice. "Antibus! ANTIBUS! Help me!" she cried out.

For once, Mary would have liked to deal with Paul herself but she should have realized that she wasn't strong enough to. Her first attempt was a failure and she just knew trying again would do no good. "Antibus! PLEEEASE!"

Paul became annoyed with this and wasn't in the mood to go head on with that flea bag. So his hand jolted over her mouth to keep her quiet. He stood up and dragged her with him. Mary started to struggle and her muffled cries were to Antibus. "Shut up!" Paul yelled.

Mary was completely helpless as her and Paul suddenly stood at the edge of the entrance to the elevator. And the elevator wasn't there at the moment. "Now you'll see what it's like to hang like a bell."

He attached a bungee type of hook(god knows where he got it) to the very top of the ceiling of the elevator, to the wires and cables. He lifted Mary up and she started kicking and screaming. He ignored her struggles. "No! NO! Stop it! I didn't do anything!" she cried.

"Oh shut up!" He moved and inch closer to the edge of the elevator entrance so it would be easier to hang her from the hook on the other and of the bungee. He lifted her higher into the air and leaned forward. He was holding her by her collar, planning to hang her from that. But Paul soon realized there wasn't enough so he tore a small hole in the back of her dress near the collar. "My dress! Stop it! You want the bell you can have it!" Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I don't want your damn bell!" With one quick movement he slipped the hook into the new hole in her dress. He took a step back and watched her dangle. She started screaming out of pure fright. Paul smirked as he watched her kick her feet and scream. He was quite enjoying himself. Watching poor Mary terrified and helpless. Antibus hadn't shown yet, so he figured he probably wasn't coming.

"Keep that up and your dress will rip….and you'll fall." Paul started cackling madly. Even though he knew it wouldn't kill her, since she was already dead, but it would give her a good scare.

"ANTIBUS! Where are you! Antibus!" Mary screamed out, tears rolling faster then ever.

"He isn't coming you little bitch. Give it up!" Paul was getting angry. If she kept that up, Antibus might actually show.

"Anti-Antibus!" She had now resorted to sobbing and her words came out chokingly.

As all hope seemed lost, a growl came from behind Paul. Paul fearfully turned around and saw the one person….or rather animal, he preferred not to see. Antibus was bearing his sharp teeth as he charged forward at the teenager. Paul stepped back forgetting he was on the edge of the entrance of the elevator. His feet gave way and he fell backwards. Antibus halted to a stop when he reached the edge and watched Paul fall down into the darkness. Screaming.


And that's all you get! For now anyway. RR and I shall be posting the second chapter. Probably tonight. But I won't official continue until I get enough reviews to start the third chapter.
