On with Poker Night...

Chapter 4

Kurai looked around, "Now if only I could find it..."

Krad, now aware of what was going on, stared at her. "You're telling me, you don't want Dark to steal it because it's your most prized possession... and you lost it!"

"Oh, it's not like a painting or anything... It's a dog. A cute, adorable, fluffy dog." Kurai lifted a china cabinet. "Inu?"

"Inu? Not very creative, are you?"

"Well, she didn't like the first name I gave her..."

"Dare I ask?"

"Mutt. Then puppy. And then supercalafragelisticexpialadocious."

"Her name is I couldn't think of a name ..."

(The Dark hating author person needs a name for the dog... any ideas? Send me a message if you do. Thanks to all you people who read my.. Umm... strange story. .)

"Oh... you can go...explore the house...or something...while I look for her. Okay?"

"Sure.." Krad went through the nearest door on the left.

He looked up and saw staircases; lots and lots of staircases. They went sideways and backwards and, of course, up. 'What kind of a mad house is this?' He wondered, then continued his walk. Before he left that room, a certain curiosity came over him. He walked to one of the sideways staircases and tried walking up it. Much to his surprise, and much more to his fear of what would happen, he didn't fall. In fact, the room looked as if it had shifted so he was at the top of a normal staircase. He could only wonder what else this house had in store for him. He turned to face the door behind him and, using extreme caution, opened it. He entered and found himself in a cartoon world. The walls smiled at him and even said 'hello'. Now, as any homicidal being would do, Krad started trying to destroy things. Especially the walls.

"What did we do?" cried the walls. "We only said hello!"

"Shut up! SHUT UP!" Krad yelled, taking a cartoon car and throwing it at a wall. He hard the car make a strange whimpering sound. "Censored" (Wow, Krad said a bad word... More like ten bad words... or a hundred... or more...)

He ran to the nearest door and opened it. Relieved to find it a normal looking room, he entered. He heard whispers all around him. First thing he, or most people, suspected was ghosts. He covered his ears but he still heard the whispering. That left one conclusion: He was going even more insane than he already was. He remembered an article he read in Homicidal Monthly. It was an advertisement for a device you put in a room and it makes people think there are ghosts in the room. It had a warning too... This product may cause slight insanity if one's ears are covered. The voices will remain. He walked straight forward... and into a wall. It was too dark to see so he felt around the wall to find a door. He found one, opened it, then closed it quickly. It was a door to another scary cartoon land. He tried the next door he found. It was a rather gloomy looking room, silent like a graveyard. Yet, for Krad, there was a certain peace of mind. He was safe there... for the moment. Out of the ground came giant worms. Krad was deathly afraid of worms since Dark put them in his favorite food when they were little. He ran to a pink door, and without thinking, ran into it's room.

He turned to face a horror that was worse than any other. He found himself wondering what he'd done to deserve such a punishment. The room was bright pink with yellow, pink, white, purple, and baby blue tulips growing out of, well, everywhere. Stuffed animals lined the corners of the room. Krad felt like he'd been thrown out of the mercy of a Dracula movie into the unforgiving loneliness and terror of a four year old's t.v. show. He took matches out of his pocket and tried to light the room on fire, but he failed. It was protected by magic. He had no choice. He ran across the field of tulips and through the next door. He was in the same room he started in, and Kurai was still looking for the dog. He'd also come through te very door he'd gone into in the first place.

"Kurai, what kind of a house is this!"

"An almost normal one.." She said simply. "You went into the fear room didn't you? Well, what do you fear, Krad?"

"WHAT?"

She opened the door to the 'fear room'. Nothing was there. "See, since I'm not afraid of anything, it shows nothing. It's just an empty room. When you went in, what did you see?"

"That was all just one tiny room?"

"Yes and no. The room make what you fear a reality. The room can grow to make room for a labyrinth for people who are afraid of being lost in one, or it could shrink for someone who's afraid of small, dark, confined spaces. Cool, huh? So, what'd you see?"

"You're a psychotic freak, Kurai!" He laughed. "I think we could get along just fine... if you used this room on Dark, that is. "Oh, there was a room with... pink, and tulips, and stuffed animals...and one with a cartoon world and talking inanimate objects...and one with giant worms..." He shuddered at the very thought.

Until next time all, thanks for reading. Sorry this one's so short. Don't forget, I need a girl's name for the dog. Preferably a Japanese name. Homicidal Monthly in the next chapter. I'd really like more people to read this story so, if you would please, tell others about it. Thanks again and sorry if there's any 'mispelled' words. Haha you get it? Misspelled is spelled wrong. Lol. Yeah, you're right, that was dumb. .
