Yeah, these next couple chapters will be a little more "off" so to speak then the rest. I had to sort of wing it & hopefully it's still sort of in character with the movie. (Besides that Walt Disney never shows as much blood as I would.)

Kitten hadn't really made much more thought of her crazy night after she became so bored, she was drawing on the walls with a piece of chalk she'd found. Strangely enough, she'd found her pencil, flashlight, & shoes with her even though shed had them all off when she'd gone to bed. She was glad for that & didn't pay it too much mind. She figured she may as well not expect anything normal if she was in this universe.

She drew a picture of herself & Lynn, wearing sombreros & giving "peace" signs. Although, she figured Lynn didn't really know what it meant, so, she drew another picture of Lynn, staring at her hand as she made the signal. She put the chalk down next to pictures after she'd written her signature under them in small, but readable letters. She chuckled to herself.

"…I'm still bored…" she said, as she began to wonder which she liked better: being this bored or hearing Harmoo talk. She got up & walked towards the wall that she'd gone through to get in the room. She touched it. It was still solid, much to her confusion. She sat down & thought for a moment. "Maybe if I sing." She thought for a moment & began to sway her head back & forth to a song in her head. "Look around…" she began. She paused to cough. "But, don't look down." She paused again.

"Everything is unfamiliar, waiting to be found. Look ahead, but don't look back. Anything's a possibility and you can count on that. Hold on tight and don't let go. It's another small adventure, where it is no one knows. Close your eyes and enjoy the ride. There's so many big surprises out there for us to find." She raised her voice louder for the beat. "Waking up the sun! Waking up the sky! Waking up the great big universe! Another small adventure! Look at me, I'm strong and free! Everything's a possibility as long as you're with me!"

She stopped there, as the song only repeated if she went on. Kitten had a feeling she was being watched. And as she stood back up, something black came through the wall in front of her & wrapped around her wrists & ankles.

"Eep!" she squealed, as she was hoisted into the air & yanked out of her prison. After a few seconds, she found herself in the huge room again, the big fancy lights practically blinking her. She shut her eyes until she stopped moving, then opened them. She was still being held, but, she was standing up & not being pulled at anymore. She looked in front of her. There was Harmoo again, standing there, the same serious way he had been when she'd first seen him. Kitten somehow found she wasn't surprised, nor frightened. She figured she was used to being yanked around by now.

"Hello, Kitten." Harmoo greeted, his hands behind his back.

"Hello, Harmoo." Kitten replied, knowing Harmoo would just make her say it if she didn't.

"I suppose you want to go home, now, right?"

"Actually, I'm not sure where I want to go…"

"…Oh…well, why?"

"You'd be better off if I didn't bore you with the details." She just looked at him, waiting for him to do something. Harmoo pulled out his medallion.

"And I bet you want this, too." he bragged.

"Shut up & get to your point already." Kitten said.

"My point is, until our visitors are here, you get see what Dr. Facilier will have to go through once I get my hands on him!" Harmoo sounded mad by the end of the sentence & he sounded worse when Kitten snickered, "What!?"

"You…him…fighting…ya'll know who's gonna win."

"Oh! That's not what I meant!"

"Hey, Dr. Facilier, whatcha doing? Oh, nothing; just fighting a midget." Kitten laughed.

"Oh yeah?! You think that's funny?! Laugh at this!" Harmoo snapped his fingers & the floor came out from under her as the shadows dropped her. She fell into the trapdoor as all the shadows quickly squealed or growled or…whatever…& followed her inside, before the door closed back up. Kitten screamed as she fell into a bunch of thorn bushes. As the thorns pierced her flesh, she screamed & quickly kicked her way out, panting.

"What the…?" she began, before stopping. Her pupils shrank & she looked behind her slowly. There were huge shadows everywhere; and they were all giving her that "I'm going to eat you." look. She smiled & chuckled, nervously, waving her fingers.

"Hi." she said, her voice sounding squeaky. The shadows all screamed & charged at her. Kitten screamed…

[Line]

Lynn shot up in the bed as she realized she was cold. She panted. She had been sleeping at the end of Dr. Facilier's bed like a cat. She looked around, frantically. Facilier sat up.

"What is it, Lynn…?" he asked, rubbing his sore eyes. Lynn didn't pay his wreck of hair any mind.

"Sense Kitten! In lot of pain!" Lynn responded, crawling around on the bed.

"Well, wait!" Lynn had crawled up on his knees & fell onto him. "Oh--get off me!!" Vena slammed on the door. Lynn raced over, let her in, shut the door, & raced back into Facilier's lap like a scared puppy. Vena crawled up the bed as she strained to speak.

"So…UH…what's up…?" She made it up on the bed, saw Lynn & Dr. Facilier & immediately started snickering.

"What?" Dr. Facilier asked, annoyed.

"That's a new look…" Vena snickered. Lynn looked at his hair & started laughing. "Your pajamas are purple!"

"What's wrong with that?!"

"Nothing. I just thought they'd be black or pink." Vena started laughing.

"Ok, what do you two want?"

"Oh, I heard Lynn squealing."

"Shadow senses!" Lynn reminded him, "She knows! She is suffering a reminder!"

"How could she know?!"

"She knows!" Lynn insisted.

"Ok, will you please stop saying that?" Vena said. Lynn paused.

"…Well, she does." she said. Vena shrugged.

"Who cares right now? When are we leaving?" Facilier looked at the clock.

"Now." he said, before jumping up, knocking Vena off of him. He ran to the door & opened it. "Get out so I can get dressed."

"Yes sir." Vena said, running away as Lynn followed her. Facilier shut the door.

Later on, Tiana, Naveen, & Louis walked to the purple door.

"Naveen, are you sure about this?" Tiana asked.

"No, but what if she really is gone?" Louis looked back & forth & watched them talk.

"Or, what if this is a trick made by the Shadow Man?" Her whisper was harsh.

"Ok, well…always expect the positive, yes?" Tiana scoffed as the door opened.

"I heard ya'll voices." Facilier said to them. "Come in." Naveen became sure of this as he didn't sound very charismatic at the moment. They walked in & saw Lynn & Vena. Lynn was holding a spoon; Vena was carrying on her back a backpack that was huge for her & fell over.

"Uh…hey, guys." Tiana said.

"Hi, Tiana." Vena pointed in the air. "Are you ready?"

"For once, yes." Naveen giggled, sheepishly after Tiana said that.

"Good." Facilier looked at Lynn & Vena. "Lynn! You're carrying a spoon & that's it?"

"Yes." Lynn replied, smiling.

"Here…" He took the spoon & Vena's backpack & switched them. "Better?" Lynn shrugged. Vena fell over due to the weight of her spoon. Facilier sighed. "What do we need a spoon for?"

"Uh…to row." Vena said, as if it was obvious. Facilier lead them to his table, trying to stay cool.

"Everyone needs to hold on to me or this will not work. Is that clear?"

"Well…" Tiana said.

"I said 'is that clear'!"

"Yes sir!" Tiana raced over & grabbed his arm. Naveen held onto Tiana.

"Does this count?" he asked.

"Yes…" Facilier sighed.

"Wow, why didn't I think of that?" Tiana said. Vena found no trouble hugging his leg while Lynn curled around all of them like a snake. Louis became nervous looking at her face & her dark body around him.

"Ok, then." Facilier said, "Everyone here? Ready?" Everyone nodded. "Geben Sie der anderen Seite!" Tiana looked at Naveen for an answer. He shrugged. Green light surrounded them. Vena looked around as Lynn ducked her head under anyone who didn't pull away when she did. Tiana squinted as the light got brighter. Then suddenly, it all exploded away & her vision was illuminated. Afterwards, the green was all gone. They all landed on a hard ground. They all looked up at the heads on the wall, who growled, menacingly at the sight of them.

"Hi?" Tiana asked. Facilier looked scared, so he ducked behind Tiana & Naveen. Vena walked towards them & took a short bow.

"We are just on a quest." she said, "Kitten?" The heads nodded to her. "Where is she?" The heads nodded again & looked to their right; Vena's left. She looked & saw Harmoo standing there, looking at her. Vena gasped. "Hi…?"

"Vena. Leave them alone." Harmoo said, "They wish to see Kitten & I will do that. But first…" He went to pull out his gem. Vena rushed to him.

"No!" she said.

"What is wrong with you?!" Harmoo yelled, shoving her aside. "Oh Lynn…!" he said, waving the gem at her. She looked at it.

"Ooh, shiny thing!" she said.

"Lynn, no!" Vena said, running towards Harmoo. She tackled him; he dropped the gem on the ground & it slid in front of Lynn.

"Oooooohhh…." she said, looking down at it. Suddenly, her eyes closed. Then, she opened them again, revealing pink glowing eyes. She looked at Vena & hissed loudly. Vena stopped & looked at her. She whimpered & slowly backed off of Harmoo & away from them all. Harmoo grabbed her shirt.

"Not so fast!" he said, "You're siding with them, aren't you?" Lynn hissed.

"What's happening? What's going on?" Tiana pleaded to Facilier.

"Lynn's been hypnotized." Facilier replied, "The only way we'll find Kitten is if Harmoo takes us to her. And once he does that…" he stopped. Tiana shook his arm.

"What? Tell me! What? What!?" she said.

"…he'll dispose of us." Facilier finished. Tiana's face went blank. Harmoo shoved Vena towards Lynn.

"Lynn, get her out of the way." he said. Lynn grabbed her & lifted her off the ground as she kicked her little tiny legs in the air.

"Lynn, let go!" she wined. Lynn smiled, evilly & slithered into the hallway. Naveen looked at Harmoo.

"We need to see Kitten! You have her, no?" he said.

"Yes, I have her. You may join her if you like."

"Umm…"

"Yes." Facilier said. Tiana & Naveen both looked at him. "We want to see her."

"Nice, Facilier." Harmoo smirked, "Didn't think you'd be the one volunteering your team into shadow attacks."

"Shadow attacks?!" Tiana blurted out.

"Shh." Naveen said, "He knows what he's doing…"

"You can see her." Harmoo replied, snapping his fingers. A trapdoor fell out from under them & they all fell through it. "Darn. That one wasn't over the thorn bushes." Harmoo snickered as the door closed.

In the shadows' forest, the three landed in a river of clear purple water. They paused to look at their surroundings. Naveen looked up at a shadow. She had Kitten in her grasp & threw her in the water. Kitten sat up & choked, before falling back on her hands. Tiana looked at Kitten with concern for all her scratches & possibly bites, & the blood running down her everything. Kitten looked at them. Kitten realized she was panting. She looked at Facilier. Kitten ran towards him & hugged his waist.

"Dr. Facilier!" she said, happily. Facilier looked down at her, surprised. "Ya'll came to help me!" She sounded so relieved, it was hard for Tiana to look at Facilier & picture him this way.

"Darlin', Harmoo knew we would." he replied, "Good thing is we found ya'll. Bad thing is Lynn & Vena are 'gone.'" Kitten looked up.

"Huh?" she said.

"Well…" Naveen began. Kitten screamed out. "What?!"

"Th-This water…I-I-It burns!" She jumped out of the purple acid & Facilier looked down & quickly got out of it as well. Tiana & Naveen stayed on the huge lily pad that they were surprised was alive. Kitten held her legs & moaned. "Oh my gosh! I hate it here!" Tears began to form in her eyes. Facilier held her hands in his & tried to comfort her.

"Hey, honey…" he said, "Don't get your eyes watering. We gonna save Lynn. Don't you worry your pretty little head about it." Kitten stopped crying & looked at him.

"…I've never seen you act this way." she said.

"What? Do you spy on me?" Kitten stood up along with him.

"No." she said. She looked at Naveen, Tiana, & Louis. "I'll tell you when this is all over, ok ya'll?" They just nodded their heads yes. She paused & thought. "We're going to stop Harmoo. This I swear!" The three smiled & cheered, quietly.

"Now, that's more like it, chère!" Facilier said, patting her on the back. Kitten looked up at him, smiling down at her. She chuckled.

"You're awesome." she said. He gave her a slightly surprised face as she ran up in front of Naveen & Tiana. Louis was hiding from the shadows that had left for some reason. "Ok, now before I lose my confidence again, what's our plan?" The humans shrugged. Kitten sighed. "Right. Think…"

[Line]

Quiet sobbing could be heard from down a long corridor filled with empty cells that looked like walls. Little Vena had her knees up to her face & was crying into her shirt with her arms covering her eyes. Harmoo walked through the wall & watched her, silently. She panted & looked up, revealing her bruised face. He'd hit her a few times in the face & bunch everywhere else. Part of the material on her face was ripped slightly. She could tell Harmoo was amused.

"Don't be mad at me." Harmoo said, still smiling when she gave him a hateful look, "I told you not to cross me." Vena didn't know what to say so she just sat there. "Stand up." Vena did nothing for a minute, besides bring one of her legs back out. Her shirt was ripped a little, so more of her leg than usual was visible. "GET UP!" Vena scrambled to her feet. "Explain to me why you even thought of disobeying me." Vena tried to speak without sounding scared,

"I-I like Lynn. I even kind of like Facilier. I don't like seeing things hurt so badly." When he said nothing, she looked down & continued, "That's why I did it."

"Regardless, you knew he wouldn't be let out of his 'debt'."

"I know." She paused, "I was hoping I could change that." Harmoo chuckled.

"Since when?"

"Since always. I never wanted any part of it. I was just enjoying the music. It wasn't in any way my idea."

"Pfft. Sure." Vena looked up. Harmoo put his hand under her chin & made her look at him. "Cross me again, Vena, & you'll be joining him." He gave her a fierce look as she responded with a hurt & mad look.

"You don't care about living things, do you?" she asked, her voice trembling. Harmoo let go of her.

"As far as I'm concerned, what have they ever done for me?" He walked out of the cell & Vena stared after him, until he was gone. She continued to stare at the wall as more tears poured down her face. But she didn't sob. She only stared into nothingness, thinking about how much she hated Harmoo.

-TO BE CONTINUED-

I'm not sure if I proof-read this, so...bare with me if I didn't. (If the grammar & spelling is bad.) I'll be back in a little bit with chapter 8, where Kitten screams a lot. XD
