CHAPTER 2!

Things get a bit creepier in this chapter. But trust me, this is tame compared to what's to come.


The three of them touched down in the middle of Disneytown, and were immediately surrounded by the inhabitants, all of them dressed up in various costumes, trying to tug them over to the area of town where the Fruit Ball games were usually set up.
After calming down the hyped up residents, the trio set off in the direction they were pointed, and gasped in amazement as they turned the corner, seeing the enormous structure that had been set up in the playing arena.
"We heard about a holiday called 'Halloween', from this Skellington fellow that passed through here not too long ago, and decided to give it a try on our own!, exclaimed one of the duckling triplets from behind them, the three of them pushing Terra, Ven and Aqua forward so that they were at the entrance to the towering, mansion-like building. They stepped into it, waving back at the others, grinning. The first room was pretty tame, just some ghostly projections onto the wall, which made all of them laugh. Trust the occupants of Disneytown to not be able to do anything too scary.
As the walked farther through the haunted house, the rooms got darker, quieter and colder, and Ven nestled himself into Terra's side, staring around at the walls that had started to ooze odd colored slime.
A sudden cold burst of air swept along the hallway, making him squeak from the unexpected gust, jumping slightly.
Terra pretended to have a bad coughing fit to cover up how hard he had started laughing, and Ven glared at him, face flushed, and hit him lightly on the chest.
"Stop laughing, that just startled me..."
He was pulled closer, Terra's hand rubbing over his back.
"I'm sorry, it's just so cute when you get all jumpy like that. I couldn't help but laugh."
Aqua looked back at them just then and looked forward again, smiling and shaking her head. "Hurry up, you guys, if we spend too much time in here, we won't get to the other worlds in time."
When she turned around, Ven stuck his tongue out at her, giggling slightly.
They walked farther on, and Terra slipped his hand into Ven's, squeezing, reassuring him so that he wouldn't get creeped out by anything else.
There was the sound of at least a hundred lightbulbs shattering simultaniously, plunging the room into darkness, and Ven screamed, the shock causing him to trip over a small gap in the floorboards, letting go of Terra's hand and falling to the ground. When he sat up again, everything was deathly quiet, and the room was getting colder and colder, making him shiver. He tried to stand up, grasping onto the nearest wall, pulling himself to his feet, but jolted away immediately as he felt liquid drip over his fingers, the scent of iron filling the air, and he tried to scream, but couldn't get enough air into his lungs to even do that. A strange laugh echoed around him, filling the room, digging in to his brain, making him fall to the floor, writhing and clutching his head.
"goawaygoawaygoaway..."
A hand grabbed on to the back of his shirt and pulled him upright, the same voice that had been laughing all around him suddenly drifted into his ear.
"Pathetic..."
Ventus was forcefully shoved up against the wall, grunting in pain, his face smacking into the plaster.
He tried to struggle away, smelling the iron scent again, realizing just how close to his face it was. As the person behind him held him in place, the liquid slid down the wallpaper more and across his skin, getting into his mouth before he thought to close it, and he started to choke, trying to spit it out.
There was blood in his mouth. Sliding across his face. Clumping in his hair.
He shot an elbow back at his assulter but it was caught easily, and he was pulled back, falling against the...boy's...chest, arms holding him in place, and a mouth nipping at the top of his ear.
"You're such a little scaredy-cat, Ventus. I rather like that..."
A hand drifted up his shirt, warm in contrast to the cold room, making him shiver violently.
He felt the other drop down behind him, tugging his shirt up in the back and pressing a deceptively sweet kiss to his side, trailing them forward and down, sliding around to his front, slipping a hand to his pant's button, flicking it open, making Ven shudder at how slow he was going.
He slid up the front of Ven's body, mouthing along the fabric of his shirt, and when he got to the underside of the blonde's chin, he licked slowly from under it to over the other's lip, leaving a wet trail.
Ven squirmed, breathing heavily, trying to push the boy away, but was stopped by warm lips crushing up against his, making him whimper without intending to, responding out of instinct.
And all of a sudden, all contact was gone, he was left alone again, and the lights flickered back on, seemingly repaired.
Ven bolted out of the room, tears involuntarily streaming down his face, running as fast and hard as he could, half-tripping over the doorstop on the way out.
Terra swung an arm out, catching Ven before he fell on his face, holding the struggling blonde to his chest, rubbing a strong hand over his back as he cried, fingers digging into Terra's shirt fabric.
When they broke apart, Terra held onto Ven's shoulders, looking him over.
"Why are your clothes all rumpled?"
Ven shook his head.
"I don't want to talk about it Terra...please..."
He brushed a finger through his hair, sliding it down his face, pulling it away again after to look at it. He started, staring at his /clean/ fingers.
'Where...where did the blood go?'
Terra stared down at him, worriedly.
"Ven...are you okay?"
The blonde brushed past him, nodding slowly.
"Yeah...yeah...I'm fine...let's go wait for Aqua."
Terra tried to grab his hand, but Ven smacked it away, eyes focused on the ground, face hardened.

They waited for her for at least half an hour, but she never walked through the exit doors.
The taller keybearer finally spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Maybe she went on without us...we were planning on going to see Cinderella next..."
Ven slammed his hand into his activator, the armor encasing him.
"Let's go."
He flew off on his keyblade, not looking back at his friend. Terra stared as he flew away, a worried look on his face.
"What happened to you in there, Ven..."
