Witchcat2012: For the character Kitty King. :D
-000—
"This is weird." Otto whispered
Rain stared at her latest guest, a little bewildered. Placing down some tea on the table, her guest took it with two small robotic hands. Slowly leaning towards Antauri she whispered, "I thought you said that the Alchemist only made 5 of you?"
"That is what we all thought as well." Antauri frowned.
For in front of them, sat a purple robot monkey.
How the monkey had gotten there, Chiro had yet to figure out. All he knew was that while Rain and him were talking; another knock came from the door. Quick to answer it, Rain was taken aback at the sight of the young Robot monkey, staring at her.
This monkey was different then the monkey team though. Although the basic body structure was the same, this one had a diamond on their chest, sparkling whenever they were in a certain light. There were also two small green butterflies right below their eyes.
Rain, being the gracious host that she was, allowed the monkey in without any certain questions.
The monkey nodded to Rain, bowing their head. When they opened their mouth to speak, strange words were spoken. As if it was a whole different language.
Rain blinked, not sure what to make of this new monkey friend. Deciding it was better to just smile and nod, she led the monkey inside.
When Chiro turned to Gibson for answers, he said that it sounded a lot like the Melekian language. Beings of high intelligence from the planet of Melekie. (If some of you don't know, there are more in Melekian's on my profile. There is a link towards the very top :D)
They were just like the monkeys, except they did not need a chip in their brain to communicate to others and make sense of their actions.
That information in mind gave the monkeys a little relief. The thought of the Alchemist having made more then just them, it was shocking. Not to mention it would be quite confusing to how they had gotten separated or how they were going to solve or talk about such a matter.
"My name is Diamond." The monkey spoke, placing her drink on the table.
"Oh!" Rain smiled. "So you can speak English."
"Yes, I apologize for not doing so earlier. I am still trying to become use to speaking in English and a lot of the times I continue to speak Melekian." Diamond explained.
"I'm Chiro." He began. "This is the Hyper Force." He motioned to the rest.
The monkeys quickly introduced themselves, before Gibson asked, "May we ask what you are doing here?"
Diamond cleared her throat, looking a bit nervous. Holding up a newspaper, she pointed to one article that had been circled in blue pen.
Rain's eyes widened. "Oh! That is my 'Help Wanted' article." She gasped.
"Help wanted?" Chiro questioned, scanning over the article.
Rain nodded, quick to explain. "More kids have been coming to the Fun House recently. Since Ashren and me are basically the only adults here the city says we need more help. That we're not able to… handle this place alone and need more assistance." Rain's clenched and unclenched her fists. "So, I asked the newspaper to put that in the job wanted sections. This is the first time some one has contacted me about it." She looked at Diamond. "Are you interested?"
Diamond nodded.
"Oh spending, just splendid." Rain clapped. "I'll just need to ask a few questions first, if you don't mind."
"Not at all." Diamond nodded.
Rain nodded, and began. "Why do you wish to work here?"
Diamond gave a small smile. "Well, I like kids and I am relatively good with them. This job seem most suited for me, and I thought this would be a good place to start."
"I cannot promise that you will walk out of this house every day perfectly intact. These kids can be brutal sometimes." Rain chuckled to herself.
Diamond nodded. "I am aware of the risks."
"How are you with handling things such as cleaning, telling stories, and first-aid?"
"I never leave a spot un-cleaned, my story telling might need some work, and I know all the basics for first-aid. I am even able to do surgery if need be."
"Hopefully that will never occur." Nova muttered to herself.
"How long have you been here in Shugazoom?" Otto asked.
"Not very long. Only a week or two, which is why I was hoping to find a job soon." Diamond smiled at him. "Though this city is very colorful in its own… unique way. This building seemed very interesting. Not only for it's elaborate colors scheme, but also the atmosphere of it."
Rain nodded, looking quite pleased. "Well, if you want to, I would be honored to have you working here with us."
Diamonds shoulders visibly relaxed at the news. "Thank you."
Rain grinned. "Here." She got to her feet. "Let me show you around. Diamond rose, nodding. "I'll have to warn you though, there is a certain Red-Head here that might pick on you." Rain said, her voice serious, as the two walked out of the room. Before leaving, Rain sent Chiro a quick smile, as if telling him she would be back soon.
"I think I can handle them." Diamond said softly.
"Many have said that before, but then again, none of them have met someone like Ashren."
When the two voices left could no longer be heard, Chiro got to his feet. "Well team, I say we investigate." He declared.
"And by investigate you mean…" Sprx trailed off.
"By looking around the Fun House for clues onto what is bugging Rain." Chiro declared.
"So in other words-" Nova smirked. "Go goof off and act like idiots."
"Sounds like a plan!" Sprx began to run to the stares.
"I like it. It is simple and fun!" Otto cheered, running after his brother. Chiro laughed, grinning widely.
"Exactly."
Nova rolled her eyes at her brothers, but was quick to follow after them.
-000-
Nova sighed. She had lost her brothers and young leader long ago, and now was wondering aimlessly around the house. She had to admit though, for a house filled with rowdy kids, it was actually quiet clean. Currently she had found herself on the second floor, where most of the younger kids 10 and younger were.
Though, maybe there was an upside to being lost on this second floor.
For she seemed to have a fan behind her. Glancing over her shoulder, Nova spotted the girl that had been following her for the past 5 minutes.
She was at least 2 years old, with curly sandy brown/ red hair that framed her small freckled face. When Nova stopped, so did she, staring at her with wide eyes.
Trying her best not to giggle at the sight, Nova continued forward, the little one following right after her. The more she walked around though; more and more kids began to follow her. At least 6 were on her tail, all staring at her with wide, curious eyes.
Constantly glancing over her shoulder she saw that the two year old was like the leader of the group, leading her fellow little ones in the pursuit for the yellow monkey.
"I wanna hug her." One child whined.
"No you can't." Another whispered. "My mommy says it is rude to hug people if you don't know them."
"That's not true." The other argued. "Rain says hugs are what makes the world turn."
"That is love."
"Same thing."
Nova covered her mouth. Why were small kids so cute? She just wanted to glomp all of them to death.
The two year old at the front stomped forward though in silence. A determined look was upon her face as she stumbled after Nova.
After a while, the girl slowly caught up with Nova, reaching out her small hand to grab Nova's tail. Nova jumped in surprise, stopping to look at the little 2 year old.
"Twail." She grinned in victory.
Covering her mouth with her hand, Nova practically squealed. "What a cute little thing you are." She cooed, petting the small girls head. "What is your name?"
"Heather." The girl answered, holding tightly onto Nova's tail.
"Follow the leader!" The kids behind Heather cheered, grabbing onto each other's shirt.
Nova smirked. "I guess I am the head of the line then." With that she turned around, walking forward, the line of kids right behind her. "Onward!" she cheered.
"Oh!" They all pumped their fists in the air.
-000-
"Why are you silver?" Kitty King, age 8, asked, tilting her head at Antauri. She had long mud brown hair that was rather messy from lack of being brushed and black sunglasses covering her eyes.
"I was given this body by my leader as a second chance at life." Antauri answered.
"Eh?" Kitty frowned, tilting her head, her eyebrows burrowing in confusion. "Why are you eyes blue?"
"Why do you wear sunglasses when you are inside?" the second in command of the hyper force countered.
"My eyes are sensitive to the light. They are brown though. They match my hair. You're eyes match you too. I wonder what is for dinner. Oh looky." Kitty turned away, suddenly very distracted by something down the hall and ran towards it.
Antauri sighed, shacking his head with a small smile. He forgot how small a child's attention span was.
Folding his arms he smiled. This place… it had such a calm air to it. They kids here were so pure, so full of life. Closing his eyes, he leaned against the wall, simply listening to the sound of children laughing.
This truly was such an amazing place.
-000-
Gibson gulped. To think that he would be surrounded so easily, he truly was a disapointment to himself and the team! As soon as the team had split up, Ashren had arrived, with Meghan and Sky at her head. All three of them determined on cornering the young Scientists to have some 'fun'. He hated to know exactly what sort of 'fun' they had in mind. No less then torture or worst probably.
Backing up to the wall, Gibson felt tempted to pull out his drills on these girls.
"Blueburt! Blueburt!" the girls, lead by Ashren, chanted.
"beat him with a stick!" Meghan chanted.
"Lock him up for 90 years!" Sky suggested, having joined the 'hunt' simply because she was bored.
"See what makes him tick." Ashren concluded, cackling evilly. "Bring me my tools Meghan the Zebra. We have work to do."
They last thing most anyone heard from poor Gibson that day... was his terrified screams.
-000-
"Ahh!" Otto screamed, desperately trying to claw himself free.
"You're soo cute!" Several lines of girls surrounded Otto, pulling and hugging at him as much as their little hands could allow.
Though pleased at first with all the attention, Otto only felt smothered at this point. "Chiro!" he cried desperately, holding out his hand to his young leader.
"I'm coming Otto!" Chiro began to push through the crowd of squealing girls, forcing his way to his green mechanic.
"You're so cute." Chiro glanced over his shoulder and frowned.
Currently, his red furred pilot was seemingly unaffected being surrounded by girls, and gladly let them hug and giggle over him.
"Sprx!' he scolded.
"What can I say kid… the girls love me."
With that a few giggled, hugging the small monkey even tighter.
Sighing, Chiro reached out for Otto's hand. "Give… him… back!" with a hard yank; he pulled his brother from their grip, wrapping his arms around him protectively.
"Thanks Chiro." Otto smiled thankfully.
"Anytime."
"Oh my gosh!" one gasped as they pointed to him, completely forgetting their disappointment at losing the green monkey. "It is Chiro! He is just as cute as when I saw him on TV!"
A squeal erupted from the crowd.
"Oh no-" Chiro burst out into a run down the hall, Otto clinging to his back.
"Run!' Otto shrieked in terror as they ran after then in a wild mob. "I don't wanna be smothered to death!"
"Don't worry Otto, I wont let that happen." His young leader assured him, jumping to the stairs and making it to the top in a matter of seconds. "We'll lose them on the 4th floor!" he swung open the door, running into a war zone.
"Hey watch it!" Some kids yelled through his wild panic, dodging and jumped whenever something came into view. He had forgotten that it was Five. The beginning of the Nerf Gun war held every other day. From behind the girls shrieked, not expecting to be shot down.
Leaping into the room next to him, Chiro slammed the door, just in time as a barrage of foam bullets fired towards him. Breathing heavily, he looked at Otto, who was the same.
"We made it." He grinned, rubbing his nose. Chiro nodded. They were safe… right?
"Freeze."
Chiro did exactly that as he felt something press against the back of his head. Otto's eyes widened, and if he could, his fur paled. They must have dove into a room that one of the teams were occupying.
"W-We're just passing through." He explained, slowly lifting up his hands, not really wanting to risk looking over his shoulder.
After a few moments of intense silence, the person snickered behind him, letting out a small snort. "For a hero monkey boy, you sure do get caught easily."
Chiro froze, knowing that voice well. Feeling himself grin, he turned around.
"Baam." He friend Tim, who he had only met a few weeks ago, stood over him, a small pistol like Nerf Gun held firmly in his grip as he pretended to fire at Chiro's forehead. "You lose."
He held out his hand to help him up. Chiro took it with a laugh, getting to his feet.
"Tim. It is good to see you." Tim Rose was his name. He was the same age as Chiro, and was one of the only people Chiro felt he could truly understand. For Tim went through all the same problems as him. He had lost his parents at a young age and was re-adopted within the past 3-4 years. He had the same fear as Chiro did of revealing their past to their newfound caretakers too. With Rain's help though, the both of them had been able to finally sit down with their new adopted family, and talk about their past, dreams, and much more. (From my story: Stay with me ^_^)
"You too Chiro." Tim glanced over his shoulder to his 3 comrades. "Lucky it was me in this room and not any of the other reds."
"You're one the red team today?" Chiro questioned. "Aren't you usually on blue?"
Tim suddenly grew timid, clearing his throat. "Well ya but um… I just felt like joining this team today."
"Tim come on. Don't hold us back!" a voice came from the 3 other reds behind him.
The one who had spoke was around Chiro and Tim's age, 13. She had Short, Coco brown colored hair and sky blue eyes. She was dressed as normal soldier would be. Wearing all Camo, a soldier helmet, and black lines smudging her face.
Glancing back at her, Tim's cheeks burned red with embarrassment. "Gotcha Aria." He nodded. "Just um… here are our two newest members, Chiro and Otto." He pushed them forward.
"Eh?" Otto blinked.
"New members?" something sparkled in the young camo soldiers, also known as Aria, eyes. "They good?"
"Yeah really good. Best in the business." Tim smiled at her, something was odd in the way he stared at her. Chiro, instantly seeing this, looked between the both of them. They way Tim stared at her with such interest and that smile on his face whenever he looked at her… could it be…?
Tim nervously smiled. "Right?" he asked with a certain emphasis. Chiro look at him puzzled, then back at Aria with a suspicious frown.
Looking back at Tim with a sly smile he nodded. "…Yeah."
Tim glared at him, daring him with his eyes that if he said anything, he was a dead man.
Aria nodded. "Cool! Then…" she paused to lift up her miniature machine nerf gun. "Lets get it on!" with that, she kicked open the door and ran out, the other two right behind her.
Tim let out a dreamy sigh as he watch her leave, but instantly regretted it.
"Hmm?" Chiro smiled slyly. "Tim Rose do you, as Gibson would say, do you fancy that girl?"
"W-What?" Tim stammered, his face flushing red. "N-No! Not at all. We're just friends."
"Is she your girlfriend?" Otto asked innocently.
"Wha- N-N-No!" Tim's face couldn't seem to be any redder. "She is just a girl and she is just my friend. Not girl friend, psh, no!" Tim waved off Otto's comment with the back of his hand. "Let just… lets just go." He fumbled with his nerf gun nervously, inching towards the door.
"Ohh!" Chiro laughed at his friends embarrassment. "This day just keeps getting better and better."
"Shut up Chiro!" Tim punched his shoulder, just to get punched right back by Chiro. Glaring at him, Tim pointed his nerf gun.
"You don't want to be playing this game Chiro." He said dangerously.
"Oh…" Chiro crouched down, ready to dodge. "I think I really do."
Tim fired, but Chiro was too fast and it easily noticed. Before Tim could stop him, Chiro got to him, tackling him to the ground in playful wrestling.
"Hey wait…" Otto tried to interject. "Aren't you two on the same team?"
-000-
Rain smiled as she stared in the room. She had just finished showing Diamond around the house, and found that the tour had gone very well. Despite the fact that she had forgotten today was Nerf Gun War day and lead the poor new recruit straight into a war zone.
Diamond handled herself very well though, and was quick to join the fun for a few minutes.
Now, things were beginning to cool down, and the two had found themselves back on the second floor. Where Diamond currently found herself with a few fans.
Rain covered her mouth as the small 4 through 8 year old girls continuously gossiped about many things Rain was sure they knew the true meanings too.
Diamond sat between all of them, a small tiara on her head, and frilly tea cup in her grip. She had officially become apart of the gossiping tea society the girls had come up with.
"Would you like some more tea Ms. Diamond?" Alice asked, holding the tea pot towards her, talking in a very high classed voice.
"Please." Diamond nodded, holding out her cup. Alice filled it up with a giggle, sitting back down to continue in small child like gossip. When Diamond was sure she had fully been accepted into the group, she looked towards Rain.
Rain nodded in approval, showing the Diamond had passed her final test. The young monkey was now officially a new house head. "Welcome." She mouthed.
Diamond smiled, holding her tea cup up to her in thanks. Grinning Rain turned to leave the girl in peace. She had work to do anyway. It was time to go down and check the end of the hall to see if anyone was in the, as the kids called it, "The talking room".
The room the kids could go to if they had problems or wanted to talk about something that was going on here or out of in their own personal lives. She as she walked pass the stairs though, something hit her toe.
Looking down, she sighed at the sight of many scattered toys around the floor.
"Daniel! Jace!" she called to the room closest. Quick as she had called, two curly haired boys appeared. One of the boys, just a bit smaller then the other, known as Jace, hid behind Daniel, who was only a head taller then him. The two were brothers, and were often known for leaving their toys laying in the middle of the hall.
Rain motioned to the floor. "Boys. I've talked to you about this." She picked up one the action figures, holding it out to them.
"Sorry." They mumbled softly. Staring at them blankly, Rain slowly relaxed.
"It is fine boys, really. Just…" she smiled playfully. "Attempt to at least not leave the easily breakable toys laying around?" she held up another one, which she had almost stepped on.
Jace laughed, stepping out from behind his brother to retrieve his space ship toy.
"Thanks Rain." Picking up only the toys that belonged to them/ the only ones they wanted to play with, they retreated to the other end of the hall.
"Kids be careful with those toys now." Rain turned to look at them down the hall.
"We will!" the cheered, jumping into one of the many rooms.
With the kids gone, Rain was left alone in the hall.
Rain chuckled, picking up some of the rest of toys on the ground.
"I guess I'll have to- Ah!" Something hard pressed against her back, pushing her forward. Letting out a scream, Rain fell onto the stairs. Her vision blurred as she rolled, bounced, and toppled on several different type of toys and various other things.
"Ow! OW! oW! Stu-pid TOYS!" she yelled. Unable to stop herself, Rain braced herself for when she would hit the bottom step, which was wood floor.
That final step never came though.
Two strong arms suddenly wrapped around her, forcing her to a stop.
"Whoa!" the person yelled, using their body to cushion her fall. Sprawled out in a pile of toys and limbs, Rain pushed herself up. Her shoulder stung with pain from landing on it, but she didn't care.
"Oh my gosh." She looked down at her savior in worry. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah." They grumbled, sitting up. "Wasn't expecting to see you fall all of the sudden though." Bright red eyes met Rain's and she realized just who it was.
"Jack." She smiled. So he had saved her.
The raven-haired 16-year-old looked up at her blankly, rubbing the back of his neck, which was soar.
"And you tell us to be careful on the stairs." He frowned
Rain chuckled nervously. "Yeah…" she looked over her shoulder, back up the stairs, towards the top. No one was up there though.
So then… why had it felt like someone …had pushed her?
Jack followed her gaze, staring up at the top steps suspiciously.
"Rain?!" Chiro appeared at the top steps, sprinting down from the stairs, scanning the room for any sign of threat. Seeing as she was on the ground, he rushed to her. "What happened?" How Chiro had heard her scream all the way from the 4th floor, she would never know. Perhaps his hearing had just become that good?
"Oh I just… took a little topple down the stairs." she grinned nervously. How embarrassing. Ashren would definitely hold this over her head. "Jack here caught me though. Thank you Jack." She smiled warmly at him.
Jack clear his throat, shrugging. "It was nothing." He mumbled. He glanced at her. "…You alright?"
"Nothing some bandages won't fix." She assured him as Chiro helped her to her feet. "Jack, you didn't get injured right?"
Scowling, Jack adjusted his position, pulling out a wooden train that was underneath him. He glared at it preparing to murder the poor thing, though the toy was already severally damage due to Jack's full body weight landing on top of it.
"Fine." He assured her, getting to his feet, throwing the train to the side. Chiro gave Jack a small nod of thanks.
Jack nodded, glancing at Rain who continued to stare up towards the stairs.
Stuffing his hands in his pockets, his scowl lingered on, "You should really keep the stairs clean." He muttered. Rain pouted at him.
"They usually are."
"So says the toys I step on everyday." Jack countered.
"Heh, you have a point." Rain gave him an amused grin. For a split second Jack's scowl curved upward, showing the slightest hint of a smile.
"Be more careful." He said as he passed her, going up the stairs, picking up toys as he went.
Rain stared at him over her shoulder, a knowing smirk pulling at her lips.
"Who was that?" Chiro asked.
"Jack." Rain chuckled to herself. "He's too nice for his own good, though he tries not to show it. He might seem cold on the outside, but on the inside, he just a big softy. Like a teddy bear."
Chiro smiled to her, leading her down the last steps. "So you are sure you're okay?"
"A little sore." Rain confessed, rolling her arms around to relax her shoulder, which felt very stiff at the moment. "Nothing serious though."
Chiro opened his mouth to say something, but fell silent at the intense look Rain had on her face. "…Rain?" he asked. When there came no reply, he softly grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at him. "Hey. You okay?" he titled his head.
Rain gulped at the sight of those big blue eyes staring at her, coaxing her to say what was on her mind.
"I guess I'm just… lost in thought." Her voice was barely a whisper. The shakiness in her tone though was almost un-bearable to hear. Chiro bit his bottom lip.
"What are you thinking about?"
"The fall I took just now I guess." Rain answered, taking Chiro's hand to hold it tightly. Chiro didn't mind and tightened his grip, comforting the shaken adult as much as he could.
"This actually isn't the first time this has happened Chiro." Rain admitted with a sigh.
"What do you mean?" Chiro eyes grew wide.
"Lately some things have been happening in the fun house that have made the city… question if I can handle this place or not."
"What sort of things?" Chiro frowned.
Rain bit her bottom lip. "A few days ago on of the walls on the third floor collapsed suddenly. Although it is fixed and much more sturdy now, one of the kids almost got crushed. Although there was no explanation to what caused it, the city is holding me responsible."
"That's ridiculous!" Chiro gasped.
Shrugging, Rain continued, "Stuff like that has been happening a lot lately. Rats were found in the basement, not sure how they got there. We cleaned and check that place every week. Then the railing on the roof suddenly fell off without any explanation either. I just toppled down the stairs too. If Jack hadn't been there, or if it had been a child, they or me could have gotten seriously hurt. The city just thinks that I'm not taking much time to check the safety of things in this place." Rain rubbed her temples. "Honestly, I'm starting to think they're right."
"That is impossible Rain. No one is more suited for this job then you! A few things broke, that happens. The city can't blame you for that. I mean, a lot of things in the city get broken everyday."
"Haha, that's true. Some are even broken by the hyper force, no?" she smirked, giving him a small nudge.
Chiro flinched. "Hehe, can't argue there. And that is exactly my point Rain. The monkeys and me don't intend for anything to break or get destroyed in our battles. Things still do anyway though due to the skeleton king." He frowned "Most of the things you've been dealing with are just because of the buildings old age." Chiro insisted.
Nodding, she understood the point he tried to get across. "Yeah… I know."
Frowning at her, he tilted his head. "The Fun House isn't the only problem though, is it?"
She shrugged. "Yeah Chiro. I'm afraid though… that's just a little too hard to talk about at the moment. I'm not even sure how to explain my problems to you threw words anyway." Rain sighed, running her hand threw her bangs.
"What do you mean?"
Rain stared around the room, clueless on how to begin. "I've been having dreams lately Chiro. Dreams of… the past. Memories." She paused to take a deep breath. "Memories that I thought I had forgotten long ago. I think there is a reason though that I am remembering them now though." Her grip around his hand tightened, as if she were afraid to let go. "Like there is something important that I have to do, and I need your help to do them Chiro."
Chiro bit his bottom lip. He too had been having odd dreams he could not explain. "Help? What sort of help?"
"I don't know yet. However, I think whatever it is, it is going to happen soon." Rain's tone was weird. As if she were lost in a dream herself.
"Well, what sort of dreams have you been having?" the young hero inquired.
Rain paused, hesitant to share. "Dreams of before my parents died. When I met… an old friend."
"And old friend?" Chiro narrowed his eyes, not sure what to make of this conversation. What old friend could possibly have Rain in such a panicked state?
"AHHHHH!" the two jumped in surprise.
"Was that… Gibson?" Rain asked, looking towards the stairs.
"…Yeah."
"Ashren put him down!" Nova suddenly called.
"Release me you… you ruffian!" Gibson demanded.
"Don't release him. This is hilarious!" Sprx laughed.
"Sprx!" Nova scolded. There was a smack, as if Nova had hit Sprx for his comment.
"I should uh… probably go check on them." Chiro mumbled, getting to his feet.
"Yeah." Rain laughed, waving him off. As soon as Chiro left for the stairs, Rain 's lips curled downward into a troubled frown.
Stuffing her hand in her pockets, she pulled something out. Holding it tightly in her grip, she brought it up to her face.
Feeling a prick of tears, she took a shaky breath.
"I don't know what to do anymore…" she slowly crumpled to her knees, leaning her head back against the wall.
The object in her hands was small, similar to that of a doll.
Which is exactly what is was. A stuffed animal.
A monkey. An orange monkey.
"…Mandarin…" she whispered softly bring the stuff animal to her chest and closing her eyes tightly, as if praying for them to hear her words.

Within the shadows of the Fun House, something hissed out of shame of being defeated. "Pure luck it was." They seethed to themselves, passing back and forth; trying to convince themselves that the reason they failed was not their fault. "That girl… that lucky girl… No." They paused. "It was the boys fault. Jack. He caught her. If he had not been there…" The person slammed their fist into a near by lamp, sending it flying into a closet, where is crashed. Staring at the crumpled remains of the shattered lamp, they being smirked.
"No matter… They will all be gone soon. Very soon. Perhaps I shall start with that Jack fellow, who ruined my first plan to begin with. Yes, when Rain is gone, he shall soon follow. And then… oh and then, Shugazoom will fall." They whispered in a shushed cackled.
"Hey!" the door suddenly swung open, a red head stepping into the room annoyed. "How come I hear crashes yet I'm not involved?" They pout.
The shaded beings voice suddenly grew sweet. "Sorry Ashren." They lifted up a bat for her to see. "I was practicing and got a little too close to the lamp."
Ashren's pout grew larger. "Aww." With a shrug, she turned to the door. "See ya later then uh… I can't remember your name. Uh Suzy-Lily-Mary- Something or whatever." Ashren waved it off as if it didn't matter and left the room, determined to go cause some damage within the house. Perhaps she would aim for the blue monkey, Bluebert of whatever his name was.
"See ya Ashren." A dark smirk curled around their cheeks.
Allie: Ohhh! Well there you go guys. There is your first hint to who thy mysterious person is who has infiltrated the Fun House! 0.0 A hint to the hint, it has something to do with the types of names Ashren said when she was trying to remember the persons name. They all point to the fact the the person is... ? (Finish the hint! Send it in too in a review :D Part of this story will be in the mystery of who this shadowed being working for the SK is ^_^)
Chiro: Are TRYING to get Rain killed?!
Allie: Jack was there to save her! By the way, lets all give Jack a standing ovation for his magnificent performance today! *begins to clap*
