Adventures in cenobitic babysitting

(Age 3)

"Are you SURE you can handle it?" Pinhead asked the two men whom were asked to babysit Arcturus for a few hours while Kirsty and Pinhead went off on a 'date.' "Yeah sure man…we got this." Pistonhead replied. "I use to watch Kirsty a couple of times. It will be no problem." Frank added. Kirsty looked at her uncle. "That's how come I somehow managed to be 3 blocks away. I warn you Frank; if something happens to my son…." Pinhead put a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulder.

Frank swallowed nervously. While he had learned a healthy respect towards women and no longer lusted after everyone he saw he never fully managed to gain Kirsty's acceptance. And he couldn't blame her really. The couple said their goodbyes to their 3 year old son and left. Both would have asked Angelique to watch their son but she had business to attend to with De'lisle on some matter. Frank and Pistonhead turned towards the young boy. He grinned at the two happily. They always thought of fun things to do.

"what do we do with a kid like that?" Pistonhead asked Frank. "Feed him, and stuff. Make sure he gets to the bathroom and maybe take him for walks or some shit like that…hell I dunno…" Frank replied. "Maybe we should call Dreamer and ask how you take care of a 3 year old." Pistonhead suggested. Frank was having none of this. He didn't need Dreamer's help in taking care of a 3 year old. After all how hard could it be?

That was answered when they heared shrieking laughter and saw a naked Arcturus running down a long corridor. If his parents saw this and saw two grown men chasing after him there would be trouble. Arcturus ran down the narrow passageway his parents took he had to tell them something very important. Something on the lines of how much faster you can run if you are naked. Frank and Pistonhead charged down the corridor after him when Frank ran head on into one of the Wire Twins. He had accidently fallen on top of her. (something which she absolutely loved being as she did have feelings towards him) she smiled seductively at him.

Normally Frank would have enjoyed this situation. Getting off her (much to her dismay) he quickly apologized. "Hey girl, have you seen a kid running through here? Im looking for a kid…I need this kid." He explained. Wire Twin smiled again. "If you want a child then maybe we can work something out…but not here..follow me." she whispered.

Frank knew what she was getting at. "Not in that way. Not yet. Look, its Kirsty and Pinhead's kid im trying to find." Frank explained. The Wire Twin looked at him curiously. "why not have a child the real way; through…-" "Oh forget it." Frank sighed. He knew he had to find Kirsty and Pinhead's son. He knew if he didn't then he'd face the wrath of both parents.

Meanwhile Arcturus had managed to get behind both Frank and Pistonhead and while they were running and scrambling trying to locate a naked Arcturus he was following along closely having a great old time watching 'Uncle Frank' and 'Uncle Pistonhead' run around. "We gotta find this kid Cotton." Pistonhead yelled out. Frank turned and around to face the cenobite. "No shit shirlock. I mean how fast can a 3 year old run anyways.?" Frank replied.

Pistonhead merely shrugged. He would have asked Female or Dreamer to help find the boy but asking them would get back to his parents which would most definatly result in the demise of both Frank and himself. He went to sit down to think when he heard a laughting shriek. He spun around to find little Arcturus running towards him laughing hysterically about the whole ordeal.

"Hey Cotton, I think I found him." Pistonhead called out as he snatched the child from the ground. Frank came over clearly relieved. "Let's get the hell home and get this kid cleaned up before his parents come home." Frank added. As the two men made it home they were greeted by Kirsty and Pinhead who wondered why their son was naked, dirty, and obviously hungry.

"We were playing chase the naked boy." Pistonhead added quickly to cover up any suspicion his parents may have had. "Arcturus here decided to disrobe and run around with us chasing him. We were just going to get him in the tub." Frank put in nervously. 'Damn I sound like a pedophile.' Frank thought to himself. Pinhead and Kirsty looked annoyed at Frank and Pistonhead. They both wished they had asked Angelique to take the boy with her when she was dealing with De'lisle. At least she would have kept an eye on him.

Angelique came out of hiding from behind Kirsty and Pinhead. She looked pissed. "If that had been MY son, I would have killed BOTH you assholes." she snarled.

Frank and Pistonhead both looked at Angelique. She was poised and ready to kill. Pinhead raised an interested eyebrow towards the demon woman and said nothing. Kirsty looked towards the two frightened men and back to Angelique. She quickly ushered her son into their home not wanting him to see such violence that was going to take place at such a young age. Pinhead followed behind his wife leaving the two babysitters alone with Angelique. Both guys backed up slowly never taking their eyes off of her when suddenly they turned and ran.

Angelique chased off after them running down the dark corridors of the labyrinth. Pinhead had gotten his son in the tub and gotten him his dinner and put him to bed for the night. He went to sit down next to his wife to relax before retiring for the evening when they heard two distinct shrill screams.

"You think Angelique won't hurt them too bad do you?" Kirsty asked. Pinhead shrugged. "They did a poor job on taking care of Arcturus….being badly injured is like a slap on the wrist compared to what Angelique could really do.

Another shrill scream filled the corridors and Pinhead and Kirsty smiled to themselves albeit feeling slightly guilty at Pistonhead and Frank's torture.

Next chapter Arcturus finds some of mommy and daddy's "toys" and wonders what they are and what they are used for. The next chapter will more than likely have an M rating so be warned.
