Chapter-7 Never Going Home?
YAY! 3'rd Update today! Record! LOL! I'm really glad ur all enjoying this! ;) Okay, this chappie may be shorter than the others, but hey, it's summer vacation! I'll have plenty o' free time to write as many long chappies as I can! XD Enjoy!...
As of now, See-More was still in the care of one of the nurses in the infirmary, and he still couldn't shake away the fact that he'd harmed one of his friends out of complete impulse.
"What the hell was I thinking?" See-More thought to himself as he sat on the edge of the bed, with his head in his hands as he gazed outside the rain clouded windows.
"I mean, Gizmo's made us ALL mad at one point or another but, I never thought, someone, or me, would ever hurt him." The boy finished as the door to the other room opened, to reveal Gizmo.
His paled face was heavily bandaged on the right side, and part of the deep purple bruise was still visible.
See-More's eye went wide, and then he turned away so he couldn't see him.
See-More had pictured only a few scratches or a tiny bruise, but nothing like what he saw just then.
"See-More. It's okay to look you know. And I guess I forgive you, 'cause Raven and Kyd Wykkyd told me it wasn't your fault." Gizmo said weakly as he walked up a little closer to See-More, who turned around and looked at him, just trying not to cry or get sick or frustrated. (Or a combination of the three.)
"I-I really did that? "See-More asked as Gizmo nodded once more.
Meanwhile, back downstairs, it was already dinnertime, and the large groups had already started on their meal.
Robin looked out one of the large windows.
"Uh hey, after dinner, what do you guys say we head back home?" The boy wonder asked as the old servant woman's eyes went wide.
Mistress Ammoraye would have her head if the groups had left.
"Oh, heavens no! These slippery roads are murder at night! And, and the storm's only going to get worse overnight." She quickly lied as the groups shrugged and nodded.
"Well, that's nice of you. But, are you sure it's not too much trouble, you know, with us being here for so long?" Hayley asked as she began to dig into her mashed potatoes.
"No but of course not! My Mistress's home is very large, and guests are always welcome!" She finished.
And as soon as she'd said that, robin remembered, the Mistress. She was the host of the party, and the owner of the manor, and yet, they'd not seen her anywhere.
"Hey, when do we get to meet this mistress of yours anyway?" Robin asked.
"Oh trust me dear, you'll meet her very soon." The woman finished as she walked back into the kitchen, leaving the groups there to eat.
Just then, See-More and Gizmo emerged from the long spiral staircase. (I love those things! Tee-Hee!)
"Hey guys! It's about time you show up!" Terra said in a welcoming voice.
(AN-Yes, I realize every other group has left! But not Terra! Forgive me 4 that, but I need her for a few more chappies! LOL!)
"Hey." Was all See-More had to say.
Gizmo walked right over to the seat closest to Jinx and sat down.
She sorceress immediately wrapped her arms around him.
"Are you feeling any better?" She asked as Gizmo looked up at her, trying to get out of her bone crushing hug.
"Yeah, I'll live." Gizmo finished as Jinx smiled and let him go.
As the group continued with their meal, Robin gazed out the window again, everything about this place was slowly beginning to weird him out.
And the number one priority to him right now, was to find out who this Mistress Ammoraye was.
And if she was here, then why was she hiding from them?
About two hours later, Robin went on another one of his infamous searches across the mansion, until he'd made it to a room beside the library.
It looked like a child's room.
But thus far, the only child in the mansion was Gizmo.
And this, looked like a little girl's room.
As Robin walked inside, the old floorboards began to creak.
Looking around, he saw a small white crib with a pink and red frilly canopy. And on the top of the door of the room, there was a name, carved in elegant Pahoran characters.
The room looked as though it hadn't been used in ages; everything was dusty and covered in cobwebs, and on the walls of the uncannily large room, there were six faded spots on the red rococo style walls.
And from the looks of those faded spots, portraits of a family might've been hanging there before.
But, where was this child now? And why had the portraits been removed?
As of now, Robin was suspecting that this room had some connection to Mistress Ammoraye.
And it might help him find out who she is.
But right now, the question on his mind was-Were they ever going to get out?
2B CONTINUED!-Kinda cliffy! I know, short chappie. But this one was kind of supposed to be a prologue for another section of the fic where all the horror mystery stuff comes in! Will update soon! PLEEEEEEESE REVIEW! XD
