Chapter 10; Erik and the Fruit Loop
Vald: I am not a...
Me: Whore! Haha gotcha Fruit Loop!
Vald: Grr...
Alex: Really Niki? Making fun Masters? That's kinda low.
Me: *raises eyebrow* I hope you know that I hold a Fenton Bat in my hand.
Alex: Gulp...umm...people please turn in some OC's for Niki here. She kinda needs them.
Me: As she said, I need more OC's for the next chapter, or might be after one. Depends lol and thanks to Oak Leaf Ninja for already handing me one. If you are looking for the form, it's on chappie nine at the bottom. And yes, it still stands; you can make two per person.
Okay, on with the story!
(Oh, and I'm not doing this in Erik's POV again, just so ya know)
"Uh..." Erik's heart pounded inside his chest, painfully loud. He knew he was in trouble the second he saw the mayor glaring at him. Hadn't Danny told him the fruit loop was supposed to be gone on official business? And where was Dex and Tucker? Erik was too scared to scream, knowing what he did about Mayor Masters, he couldn't risk it.
Vlad Master's eyebrows rose as he stared at the young teenager before him. He couldn't have been much older than Daniel Fenton, but he acted so much older, like life had thrown too much at him.
Erik studied Vlad, looking for the tell-tale signs of his being anything but a normal human. The mayor had slicked back gray hair and his eyes looked like he laid eye shadow on pretty thick. His suit, which was black and looked specially, tailored, fit him to every curve.
"Well, I'm waiting dear boy," Vlad spoke up, buffing his already shiny nails on his suit. Erik's eye's darted around the room, noting the lack of weapons or even blunt-force objects. He lingered on the ugly painting, which he knew held the ghost portal, but didn't dare longer than five seconds before focusing back on the man in front of him.
"How are you?" He spoke up lamely, trying to get out from under the mayor's intense gaze. Vlad's expression turned from annoyed to curious as he gazed at the young boy. Why would this boy want to know how he was doing? Nobody had ever taken the time to ask him. Then again, he also didn't recognize this particular teenager from around town. "And, who, pray tell, are you?" He finally asked, looking down at Erik, who gulped.
"I'm Erik Moon sir." I don't live here in town; he wanted to add, watching the mayor absorb his words. "And what, Erik, would you be doing in my mansion?" Erik cowered slightly, looking around almost frantically for Tucker and Dex.
However, before he had a chance to respond, a sharp crack echoed off the walls and pain blossomed from the back of his skull. "I don't appreciate intruders Erik," Vlad told the boy, whose vision began to blur. Vlad continued to stare at Erik as his assistant picked the boy up and flew towards the ghost portal. "Enjoy yourself, dear boy," He shouted out as he was thrown into the vast expanse of the Ghost Zone.
Erik's mind fogged up, and he vaguely remembered the feeling of being thrown into the swirling green ecto-energy. He couldn't focus, his mind was a mess of incoherent thoughts, and his body didn't seem to want to listen. Erik groaned, and felt himself flip and roll. He seemed to hang there forever, turning in flips.
Hehe, this is like one of those Zero-Gravity chamber's Alex mentioned. Erik giggled, closing his eyes as he imagined being anywhere but the place he was currently in.
He didn't know how long it took, but the impact was quite jarring as he crash landed on a small island. Pain spread instantly through Erik's body and his mind slipped into the black void of unconsciousness without effort.
Alex's POV
I looked around the Ghost Zone, where islands floated, abandoned. It was odd, seeing the Ghost Zone in such a sad state, and I wasn't a hundred percent sure my plan would work anymore.
Danny floated five feet away from me, looking at the island directly ahead of us. "I'm not so sure about this Danny," I commented, studying the ice islands, home to Frostbite's people. "The infi-map would help us get through this a whole lot faster," Danny replied, though he looked pretty doubtful himself.
"Well, let's get it over with then," I sighed, but remained where I was, watching my companion. "Yeah, I guess that would be best," Danny nodded, flying off towards the islands. I followed behind, my thoughts directed towards how well Sam, Jazz, Dex, Tucker and Erik were doing. Quit worrying, I chided myself, it won't help anything. Focus on something positive.
"Be careful were you step, little flower, because this just might be the last step you ever take."
Okay, so truthfully, what do you think? It took me a while to figure out exactly how I wanted it to be and I've been getting a LOT of drama from some idiots at school -_-
Anyway, sorry if I don't update this weekend, Friday we leave for Missouri for a small "Family Reunion" I will try, and I really, REALLY need some OCs from y'all. Wouldcha really make me come up with the rest of the characters I might need? Pretty pwease with awesome whip-creamed strawberries in a majorly sweet banana-split?
Okay, so, considering its midnight where I am, I'm going to go ahead and get this chappie up, than off to bed, nite!
