Mandy trudged into Billy's house, throwing open the door as she entered.

"Hi Mandy!" Billy greeted his friend immediately, still seated on the floor next to his demonic uncle.

"Billy, I'm sleeping in your stupid bed. Don't you dare wake me up." Mandy told him threateningly as she strode through the living room, headed towards the stairs.

As a sharp creak and a slam signified the opening and closing of Billy's bedroom door, he glanced over at Nergal, frowning slightly, tilting his head to view the stairs. The young boy grabbed the remote, clicking off the television. "Well, I guess I better get to bed! You sleep on the couch... something." Billy shrugged, walking up the stairs to retrieve his bed wear.

Meanwhile, the black, yellow-eyed creature cackled to himself, tapping his fingers rhythmically against each other in a sinister way.

Inside a little girl's pink room, the Grim Reaper sat up in a bed, holding a tattered book up to his face. Since he couldn't get to sleep at the moment for who knows why, Grim decided to catch up on a bit of reading. As he browsed through the material, a few thoughts went through his hollow head. He wondered how Billy was doing, if he had survived Mandy's anger when and if she even went to his house. Mandy was sometimes unpredictable to him; he almost expected her to walk through the door and kick him out of her room any moment now. That brought up yet another question- what was Nergal up to? Sure Billy was his nephew, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't force the two to 'play' with him against their will...

"Maybe I should go over their and make sure dey are okay..." Grim said out loud, closing his book. But before he stepped out of bed, Grim stopped himself. "Hmm... you know what, I tink they'll be just fine." He stated, laughing at himself for thinking that he should check up on them. He placed his book on the small dresser beside Mandy's bed, turned out the light and closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Within a dark bedroom, Mandy slept soundly underneath the green bed covers, her blond hair already a mess. The black headband usually planted on her head was set on a small dresser beside the mattress. A small amount of light cast by the moon poured over the dog-themed bed, shadows stretching over the floor.

A single shadow moved towards the bed, slinking against the wall. Yellow eyes swam in their sockets, frantically searching for someone.

"Drat, where is that Billy?" Nergal whispered to himself, still against the wall as he scratched his chin pensively. His purple pupils skimmed over the occupied bed, examining the slumbering girl.

"Hmm..." Nergal thought out loud, stepping towards Mandy. "This is Billy's very close friend... Maybe... if I were to take her to the center of the Earth..." Nergal had no need to finish the sentence, completing the thought in his head as a sly grin stretched across his face. He approached the young child, a single black tentacle emerging from his back and extending towards the bed. His dark lips curled up to reveal his many teeth, illuminated eyes fixed upon Mandy.

The blonde's eyes opened abruptly, her eyebrows immediately furrowed with surprise and annoyance.

"What... are... you... doing?" Mandy demanded through clenched teeth.

Unfortunately, she never received her answer. Without hesitation, Nergal coiled a tentacle around his target, electrifying Mandy into a paralyzed state. Thinking quickly, the creature from the center of the Earth got himself away from the crime scene, heading home. Thus begins Nergal's plan for revenge.
