Eds in the Closet

by the detail girl, or AmarieC

Thank you for that 'awsome' review. I'm glad you liked that first chapter. I'm sorry, I just learned I can't review chapters in the stories, so I'll just reply. Here is the second one. Eat up.

Chapter Two: Bite Me

It was my house we went to the next day, not Ed's, to get ready for a party. I have a huge closet full of tons of clothes so we get dressed up for events there.

"Can I wear this?" Ed asked talking a suit complete with vest and top hat from the closet.

"No way," I answered snatching it from Ed carefully. I hung it back.

"To dressy Ed," Veronica said trying to decide between pants and a skirt.

"It's odd for Kevin's party to be a tad dressy," Double D informed.

"Yeah whatever," I mumbled.

"Cool, this hat matches my jacket!" we heard Ed exclaim. He came out of the closet dressed in all green. We scrambled our outfits together, got ready, and let quickly when Double D noticed Veronica invitation said the party started at seven not six like Ed had said. The party was next door so it took us two seconds to get there. Ed had banged his head on the door when Veronica remembered she had forgotten her purse in which kept things to do. The party would be late so I thought, "She can come back to my room in the dark alone to get it and there I could maybe get something out of her." But she thought she might get bored at the party so I said I would get it myself. Back in my room I looked around, I found the purse in the closet on the floor. Kneeling down, I picked it up, my eyes were on the purse. But then on the wall in front of me. Crap, did I have to look at the wall? I could have just got up with my eyes on that black purse and had left, but no, and now I knew. A dark red spot was on my wall. I dropped the purse and looked at the mark closer. Two lines crossing each other. It was dry, so dark you could call it brown. "What's this!" I remembered the red spot in the pantry. I was extremely nervous but went back to the party where Veronica was waiting for me by the door. Handing her the purse she stared at me. She seemed like she was going to do something so I waited, but she just stood there so I put my hand on the door knob. Veronica hut the door as I opened it and looked at me admiringly.

"Wait." I looked at her and my hands dropped to my side as she kissed my forehead. I rolled my eyes. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," I mumbled trying not to give her the evil eye. Her face turned red and she stared again. "Are you trying to lead me on?"

"It's just a kiss on the head Eddy, nothing sexual enough about that. It's just rare when you do something unselfish like that Eddy."

"I said 'your welcome', you didn't have to thank me like that."

"Well I did, does it bother you?" she sighed, tired of this obviously.

"No, you could kiss my entire body for a day straight and it wouldn't bother me."

"Let's go in then," she opened the door and held it open for me. We found Double D next stove in the kitchen and that's where Ieft them to find Ed. Passing a group of five guys, then another of three girls, another girl, the make out closet, two older guys, Rolf and Johnny dancing, a big stereo system, a bunch of people on and around a furniture set, and another group of guys. This one was made up of Ed, Kevin, Nazz, Sarah, and five people I didn't know.

"Hi Eddy!" Ed and Nazz said alike.

Kevin frowned, "Where's your invitation squirt."

"Yeah squirt!" one of the guys repeated with a drunken-like laugh.

"That's what I would like to know!"

"Maybe you weren't invited," Sarah giggled annoyingly.

"Veronica was."

"Heah," Kevin shrugged his shoulders, "I think she's a snob and all, but she's still okay. If she hangs out with you, dork, and double dork, that's her problem, it doesn't mean a buy one get three free sale."

"Why aren't you asking for Ed's invitation?"

"He's being good," Nazz looked at Ed.

"Yep!" Ed smiled.

"You could stay too Eddy, as you promise you'll be good," Nazz said, "Just don't think we're having a spy meeting, dress like a bug, or talk to much and hog all the food." She was referring to past parties I think.

"Fine, next time advite us Kevin," I said sneering at him.

"Yeah, we can stay!" Ed hopped around.

"Stop it dude," Kevin shook his head. Back in the kitchen, I saw Veronica and Double D digging in the purse already.

"Come on! Kevin said we can stay so let's party, Rolf and Johnny got the dancin' started, let's go baby!"

"Eddy, this isn't a dance party," Double D said timidly.

"All parties are dance parties!" I tried to get them going.

"Orgies?" Veronica asked smugly.

I growled, "Party poopers." Rolf came into the room sweating like a pig from dancing.

"Edboys and Veronica girl! Rolf greets and salutes!"

"Uh, hi Rolf."

"Rolf has danced to memory of festivities in the old country." He sat down the kitchen table and a porcelain box fell out of his pocket and onto the floor with a little clink. Rolf picked it up and studied it lovingly. Double D made a mistake asking Rolf what the thing was. "Double D Ed boy! This is a box treasured and past down through Rolf's many generations, sit for it is a long tale!"

"Oh no, that's quite alright Rolf..."

"No no Edboy! It is no trouble!" he answered. Double D sat down opposite him knowing what was coming. I laughed quietly as Rolf began. Grabbing Veronica's hand I went into the living room remembering the closet. I opened it and shut it behind us. Pitch black, but the closet was huge, it reminded me of mine.

"What are you doing Eddy?"

"This is a make out closet, duh."

"I don't care, I am not kissing you..."

"Okay, I'll do all the work," I said grabbing and kissing her body and neck. I kissed her lips about twenty times until she relaxed and let me hold her. Wildly, madly, I necked her. Putting my hand everywhere, trying to grab her butt, entrapping her in my arms, squeezing her against me, French kissing her, necking again, repeat countless times. She just stood there being sandwiched with the wall. She kept gasping for air, panting, man I was sending her heart pounding.

"Stop!" she made out quickly before I shoved my tongue in her mouth again. Then the door opened behind me and someone came in and shut the door quickly.

"Do you mind buddy?" I asked.

The return was shock, "Eddy? Who are you hiding from?" It was Double D. I took my hands off of Veronica and stepped to the door. "What are you doing in the closet?"

"Uh, I was uhm, what are you doing in here?"

"Hiding from Rolf, I can't stand his stories!" Double D answered madly, "Why are you?"

"He..." I shoved my mouth on Veronica's to shut her up.

"Veronica?" Double D called. I put my hand over her mouth, "That was me, funny voice huh?"

"No, that was Veronica, I could never mistake her voice." I could feel a smile on her face, she shoved my hand off so I had to use my mouth on her again. The door opened again.

Rolf was there, "Edboy! Your games remind Rolf of the rest of the story!" He grabbed Double D and took him out of the closet,. shutting the door. I stuck my tongue in Veronica's mouth again now that we ewer alone. She hit me, then punched me hard.

"OW!" I stopped kissing her.

"Stop it Eddy, I don't want to hurt you, but I have to stop you."

"Why?" I asked stroking her neck.

"You don't need to be told again," she walked around me.

"You fight it a whole lot!" I said sarcastically. I put my hands on her round and perfectly shaped shoulders and reached up to kiss her face. She opened the door and left. My eyes took a minute to get used to the light and then I looked around the closet. Why? I had felt a weird creepy presence in the closet before and so I searched that closet. What could it be, no object. It was an object, a red writing on the wall. Just as the sign on my closet wall, that's what it was. I got out of that closet and slammed the door shut. That 'X' was fresh. "Where's Ed? Where's Ed? Where is Ed!" I thought in a frenzy. I searched around with my eyes until I finally found him. Face in the punch bowl, my heart lightened at the sight of him.

"Wagglo Eggy!" he said making bubbles come up in the punch bowl.

"Hello Ed," I mumbled going to the kitchen. Double D sat at the table with Rolf. His eyes were blood shot, his eye twitching, his hands crunched together.

"...And suddenly! The creature swishing in the bleak wind! Did Roget frighten? No! He stood tall and struck the beast with his dagger!" Double D fell over like a corpse in Veronica's lap. She was sitting next to him. "Now Roget is known as the Wamgsnoggle-Orkonoske-Dianco-Poomsuce-Jungskoke-Dioke-Nnnz Slayer!" Double D sprang up. "Yes Edboy, it is a daring tale!" Rolf exclaimed as he stood from the table and went to the living room. Double D was as stiff as a board as he sat wide-eyed. I waved my hand in front of his face laughing.

"Double D, are you in there?" Veronica asked. The poor guy then fainted slowly back in Veronica's lap. Ed came into the room with the punch bowl over his head and punch all over his and my clothing he was wearing.

"Mono brow! Kevin's gonna kick us out when he sees what you done!"

"NO he won't Eddy, his mom will!"

"I won't stay if you leave, we should take Double D home for rehab anyway," Veronica commented.

"He'll be find!" I took the punchbowl off Ed's head and dragged him to the living room. I set it down, "There Ed! Leave it."

"Yes captain!" Ed then went to where Johnny was dancing and started doing the 'chicken dance'. I wanted to leave myself and planned on going back in the kitchen and help Veronica carry Double D to his house. But I was stopped by a sound on the roof. Somehow I knew I would have heard that scratching noise and that's why I had wanted to leave. I grabbed Ed by the wind and went into the kitchen almost running.

"Let's go." Ed picked up Double D with Veronica making sure he was gentle with him. We went to the front door.

Nazz came up to us, "Leaving so soon guys?"

"Yeah," Veronica answered.

"What happened to Double D?"

"He was listening to Rolf's stories," I answered, "Bye." Hmm, I wasn't sweating like usual. We went outside and Nazz shut the door. I heard that sound again, and flapping.

Ed and Veronica stared at me, "What?"

"Do you hear that?"

"Hear what?" Ed asked. We were silent. 'Screech scrip' was what we heard coming from the roof.

"No way," Veronica was scared. I went to the road to be able to see something, anything. There was a dark figure for a brief half-second, but then it went to the other side of the roof. We ran to Double D's house, pretending not to be scared; but I knew, we were terrified. In the house we had to take a moment to catch our breath. "What was that?" Veronica didn't want to ask.

"The aliens!" Ed guessed carrying Double D upstairs.

"I didn't get a good look," I told Veronica as we went upstairs. Ed set Double D on his bed and smacked his big hands in his face. Double D shot up and clenched Ed's neck in his hands tightly.

"Double D," Ed tried to say, "Let go."

"He needs to breath," Veornica took his hands off Ed's neck and set them down.

"Sorry Ed," Double D shook off his coma.

"I feel funny!" Ed said with a blue face. Double D sat up and looked at my face, Ed's, then Veronica's.

"What is the matter?" he asked.

"There was something scratching and making weird noises on Kevin's roof!" Ed answered. Double D's ears set back like a dog when it's scared. "When I was at Veronica's house last week... there was a mark in her pantry, on the wall, it was... red, she doesn't know how it got there and it was a freshly pointed mark so... it wasn't left from the last owners, and then there was the same mark on my closet, but it wasn't wet, and then at Kevin's place just now, I saw a fresh mark in the make out closet."

"Make out closet? Who were you in there with?"

"What did the marks look?" Ed was laying on his back, on the ground, with his feet in the air.

"They were X's?" Double D forgot about his last question thankfully.

"Yeah they were, how did you know?" I asked. Double D shut his mouth and leaned back on his headboard. He swallowed hard.

"An educated guess." I didn't know what that meant.

"Doesn't that seem like our dreams?" Veronica asked.

"Yeah!" Ed wiggled around.

"While everyone is still at that party, I'm gonna look in their houses for X's too," I said going to the door.

"That's awfully rude," Double D said.

"There was an 'X' in all the houses I searched, all of them dried. I even found another 'X', a dried one, on Kevin's house." Eddy stopped and looked around him, then down at the table he sat at.

"Kid, resume," Jenson motioned with his hand.

Eddy looked at him, "Just tell me why you want to know all this!"

"Resume!" Jenson shouted.

"Why can't you tell me?"

"RESUME!"

"Who's stopping you?" Eddy was struck across the face with Jenson's hand. The frightened boy looked up at him with a red cheekbone, his lip bleeding.

"Jenson, you aren't to hurt the boy!" Salanta scolded.

"I'm not hurting him, I'm motivating him."

"How can we keep this in wraps if you leave marks for his parents to see?" Salanta said quietly to Jenson. They both sat down and looked plainly at Eddy.

"Tell us kid."

There was one house I hadn't checked where I thought I should look, Veronica's old house on Banes. There wasn't anyone home so I got in easily and looked everywhere. I couldn't find done, so I went to the door to leave. That's when I remembered something from my nightmare. This was my chance to prove whether or not that dream was coming true here. I scrambled to the bathroom where, under the cabinet, I found another old, red 'X'. I heard a scratch so I ran out of that house, I ran so fast I didn't look back. Down streets, past Peach Creek Junior High to the Cul-de-sac I lived in. I found Ed, Veronica, and Double D in the dump. In our van 'Central Command', I told them what I had found. Ed had parked his can by the back door, myself next to the other, Double D on the end of the waterbed, and Veronica was sitting in between the driver and passenger seats. She was looking, no staring at the back window.

"What?" I asked.

"What do you see?" Veronica pointed at the window and then leaned toward Double D because she was spooked. We looked at the window and a head of brown, bobbed hair was in front of the window. We huddled at the window and watched the woman who was dressed in police at tire, look around nervously, then walked away. We raced out of the van and we followed the woman.

She got out a phone, "Doman, no, it isn't here." The woman sighed heavily, "No! No it isn't, I don't know. I don't want to be here." She looked around frightened. "I know what happened... I know what happened. Yes sir." She put her phone away. A bump was heard and, oh, Ed stepped on a twig! The woman jumped hard and turned toward us pointing a gun at us. "AHH!" she screamed, with us returning the yell. She looked at us for a second, then ran off. We ran after her, Ed hopped on her and she fell to the ground. She moaned in the dirt.

"Ed get off her," Double D demanded.

"Oops!" Ed got up, "Sorry." The woman sat up and looked at us. I took her gun.

"What are you doing here?"

"Give me the gun, I was just leaving, you don't want to get in trouble. Just give me the gun."

"I'm serious, what are you doing here?"

"Looking for what?" Veronica asked. The woman grabbed the gun from me and shook. We all jumped as a screech was heard. She ran off frantically. In a car she drove off madly.

"What was wrong with her?" Ed asked, "Her chicken's panties in a bundle?"

The End

The last chapter will be posted in two weeks most likely. It's called 'Save Me'. Please review, and tell me what you think is going on and what the woman was afraid of, what did she know happened? Reviews are like candy to me except for no calories.
