What happened to the other chapter, you ask? Well, it's still here, I just combined it with the first half, so it would make more sense. I don't know, I'm OCD like that sometime. This took awhile because I'm a lazy bitch, and I like to be candid, so yeah… on with the chapter.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Another key?" Jill asked, annoyed.

"What did you think it was, ice-cream?"

"No! I thought it would be a… I don't know."

"I've notice…"

"Oh yeah?"

Maddie gave her an uninterested look. "Yes… Come on. There's stuff to do."

"I don't know if you've noticed this, but half of the time you don't tell me what we have to do next."

"Wow, that has to be one of the most observant things I think I have ever heard you say. And the reason I don't tell you is because I really don't find it worth my time to do so. Besides, if I did, you most likely would not come and do what has to be done. Break time's over. Come on, there's foes to vanquish and what not."

So, it was time for the first boss fight, and the last death mask.

Maddie took Jill to the Middle Eastern Hall, (it's not decorated like that, that's it location in the mansion) and unlocked the door. "It's time to meet Yawn."

"Who's Yawn?" Jill asked as they went through the door. At that moment, a giant snake appeared.

"That's Yawn." Maddie introduced.

"Oh… I see… But why Yawn? Why not Fang, or Slithery, or something else like that?"

In the mean time, Maddie had stayed behind as Jill had walked right into the center of the room, being the idiot that she was. "When it hisses, it looks like its yawning." Maddie explained.

"Oh."

Jill, who had this whole time been looking into the face of death like one would idly wait in line at a phone booth, just stood there, thinking about who knows and who really cares anyway? In the mean time, Richard had made an incredibly fast recovery from the brink of death, leaving some of us to believe he had just been smoking PCP while Jill and Maddie had been in the boss room. So, just in the nick of time, whatever the hell that means, he jumped in with his assault rifle, and yelled rather dramatically, "Pay back time!"

Now, let me tell you, folks, if snakes had eyebrows, it would have raised one without hesitations. So, the fight was on, but Maddie jus hung back. She had an appreciation for snakes, for whatever reason, and would not hurt this one unless it got in the way of her main goal, which will be reviles at the end, or the middle, or you may have already figured it out, depending on smart you are.

So, as the Not so Epic Battle goes on, Maddie hangs back, examining her nails, (which are the most lovely shade of red that I like to call "No, Liz, You Can't Use it, that is Ten Dollars a Bottle at Macy's") and humming the lullaby from Pan's Labyrinth (which does not belong to me, just to mention it just in case, and personal penalty for over use of the word just).

After round one of the Not so Epic Battle, one of characters said thank you. The voice sounded totally indistinguishable at that time, but I'm assuming that it's Jill, because I can't think of a reason why Richard would say thank you right now, when the snake decided it was time for round two, and that it was hungry. So, as it went to eat Jill, (smart snake) who stood there like a dear in fucking head-lights, so Richard pushed her our of the way, and was eaten by Yawn. Alive.

Jill gave a rather unconvincing cry of Richard, while Maddie winced. Also, I would like to take this moment to say that snakes like freshly killed meat. The key word here is killed. I have never heard of a snake eating anything other than and insect alive, if even that, in all the years I have spent watching Animal Planet. "That's impossible." Maddie said, shaking her head. And the fight was quickly ended by Maddie shooting Yawn. It then either decided it had been beaten for the time being, or its ADD was working up again, so it went through a hole in the roof. "I get his assault rifle!" Jill said, excitedly.

"Wow, I can see you're really shaken up by the death of your friend. Well, there's some shot gun shells hidden over there, and the Final Death Mask," Maddie was then interrupted by some odd dun dun dun sound. "Hu… that was… odd."

"Oh, let my try! Final Death Mask!" again, the annoying sound.

"Yeash, talk about a pain in the ass. Come on, let's go take care of this crap, I'm getting thoroughly annoyed, again."

Jill shrugged, and they left the room. On the way out, Jill stumbled. "Have I been poisoned? Oh, serum!"

"Oh my god! It's anti-venom! For the last fucking time you dumb bitch! And hell, for all we know, it's from eating too many weird plants from this house! I wonder how many exclamation points I just used? I feel the need to make a command or a statement. Okay, we're fine to move on now." (For those of you who didn't get that, a command or a statement ends with a period, and I had just used all the other forms of ending punctuation)

"Um, hello, poisoned?"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Come one, Oh So Stupid One."

Also, I would like to take this moment to say that it's not like I can't get through that part without getting bitten, it's just that if you do, Berry comes and I really hate him. I think I want a cookie… I just had some noodles and tea, but not that many noodles so… Oh, sorry… um, what? Damn, Quality Cookies my ass, these things taste like cardboard and flower. Yuck. Oh well, fuck it. I'll just eat more chips. Yum, taste like jalapeños. Okay, seriously now, what the fuck was I doing? Oh yeah!

They left that odd hallway, and into the hallway Richard was in. Oddly enough, there was a zombie in it.

"Pause!" Maddie exclaimed.

"What? I've been poisoned!"

"Oh, don't worry, you'll be fine. But zombies can't open doors, 'you grant that?'"

'"I suppose so."'

'"Well, then' how did this one get in here?"

"Vital organs… shutting down…"

"Oh, fine, you big baby."

And then they were off to go and get the ant-venom. I wonder how you italicize a period? I didn't, by-the-bye. I don't usually italicize ending punctuation.

So, off they were again, all the way to the Drug Room, where Jill used the anti-venom. And then, they were off to the next boss.

Those are the lines from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, chapter six, "Pig and Pepper" when she speaks with the Cheshire Cat for the first time. I think you can tell who quotes what. I have been told that of the characters of the book, I resemble him the most. Personality wise, obviously.

But I decided to leave you in a bit a suspense here, mostly because I'm lazy, and I want to do something else now. If you see any mistakes, tell me. Oh, and prizes for the people who didn't need to be told about the reference. I almost forgot, I have decided to add little quotes from every day life here.
