Death's Castle
Ch.11
Doctor Dimaric sighed, running a hand through his thick, brown hair. He had to check on Ms. Autthere, who was the nurse assigned to look after Mrs. and Ms. Manson.
'She is certifiably insane! She blackmailed me in order to make me search through all of Amity for some book of nonsense!' he fumed in his mind.
"Darn it! I can't find it!" A voice screeched shrilly.
Doctor Dimaric winced and headed to the doorway.
"Must you shatter my ability to hear?" he asked the distraught and frustrated nurse.
She took no heed to his statement and kept on ranting, "I've looked and looked through this stupid book cover to cover, but I still can't find it!"
"Find what?" Despite his doubt of her sanity, and his slight irritation, he was still curious.
"I-." She started to explain, but she cut herself off. She said hesitantly, "I probably shouldn't tell you."
He bit back an unpleasant phrase and crouched down to her level instead, putting his hand on her shoulder. He opened his mouth to speak when an unusual sensation overtook him. A myriad of colors swirled madly around before his eyes. He blinked in confusion, and things started to slow down and settle.
He blinked rapidly, trying to get his bearings. When he did, he almost blacked out in shock.
He was in an odd, purple colored land with a green-tinted sky…

Sam leaned against a multi-colored wall, regaining energy. After Danny had half-dragged her down a maze of corridors for at least an hour, she felt that she deserved a bit of rest. She glanced at Danny briefly through the curtain of her hair before staring back at the floor. She didn't know what to make of this anymore. Things had gotten really crazy lately…and what to make of Danny? Had had been acting so odd lately, almost as if he changed into another person sometimes…Not to mention that wierdplace she was locked in not to long ago. She was stopped mid-thought, much to her annoyance, by Danny, who had grabbed her wrist again.
"Oh, no." She stated, "I'm not doing that again."
"We're almost there, we need to get there." His tone was almost pleading.
She knew something was off, but exactly what, she couldn't say. So she kept her suspicions to herself to be worked out later. She sighed heavily.
"Fine, but can you not yank off my arm this time? I'm quite fond of it for some reason."
He looked sheepish for a second. "Uh, sure, I'll try not to do that." This time, his tone was awkward.
A small smile played on Sam's lips once he turned around.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Almost there!" Sam yelled, "That took even longer than the first time!" She crossed her arms across her chest and fumed.
Danny had to fight to keep in a snicker. "Well, we're here now, right?"
"I'm not guaranteeing how long you'll exist to be here." Sam grumbled under her breath.
She could see Danny about to reply, until he abruptly stiffened. Sam whirled around only to face…some Spanish chick? She faced Danny again and noticed he had an awestruck look on his face.
"Paulina…" He droned. He sounded like a zombie or something…
She looked at this Paulina girl, then back to Danny. Then it clicked.
"Oh, nooo…" she groaned, putting a hand up to her head.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor Dimaric bravely tried to fight the incoming migraine. He lost...badly.
It turned out that after he had recovered enough from his immense shock to notice anything around him, he realized that his hand still had something solid under it. His slid over to his hand, which had a shoulder under it. With dread, the eyes went to the face. It was the nurse, with a grin so wide, that it would split any normal person's head in half.
"Yes!" She cheered, "There was a way to get here!"
He struggled to keephis composure calm. "And where, exactly, is here?"
"It's some kind of afterlife place, I was hoping there was a way to get here without dieing, and there was!" She paused, looking down into her lap, "Huh? I wonder why this book's glowing."
He breathed in a large, steadying breath.
'I am stuck wherever here is with a crazy, talkative, ditz of a lunatic. Please let this be a nightmare!'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny stared in a stupor at the girl. She was obviously popular, or at least she thought she was. It was with utter arrogance that she walked, as if the whole world was beneath her. Sam hated these types of girls with a passion. The fact that Danny was drooling at that slut didn't help her mood either.
'She's not that pretty.' Sam sulkily thought.
"Hey loser, get out of my way." The girl said rudely, purposely bumping into his shoulder. He just stood there, his eyes following her, as if he didn't care.
'How can he let himself get pushed around like that!' She was outraged.
Paulina stopped suddenly, as if just realizing something.
"Who's the girl, loser?"
That girl was just asking for a punch in the face...
"Huh? Oh, her? She's new."
"Then why's she hanging with you? Ohh…did the loser make a loser friend?"
Sam was incensed, and she showed it. She squared off with Paulina, glaring at her and saying,
"Shut. The hell. Up."
Paulina's eyes flashed dangerously.
"What, are you threatening me?"
Sam's eyes narrowed to slits.
"Yes."
They scowled at each other.
'Oh,' Sam thought viciously, 'It's on.'

CATFIGHT! This next chapter should be interesting… This chapter though seemed a bit...meh...to me...I don't know why...
I gave the nameless nurse a name! (Well, a last one…)
Okay, I'll try to make the chapters longer from her on out, but I'm not sure if I can without taking ridiculously long to post, so I'll see how that works out.
Due to numerous negative responses, I will not re-do the chapters!
Please review! Tell me your thoughts, criticism, etc. I would really love feedback from you people!
