Chapter Fourteen- And the Day Just Kept Getting Worse and Worse…

"Sir Eddy Skipper McRich!" Eddy shuttered. Would this bad day ever end?

He turned around slowly to look at one of his assassinators… Lady Allith. "Eddy Skipper McRich, do you have any clue how much trouble you are in?"

Eddy froze, staring at Lady Allith, who stared daggers back at him. Should he yell, right here, that Lady Allith was planning on killing him? He stared at Kevin and Lee. They might act like they like him, but how did he know they weren't in on the act? Sure, it said Lee would be shot, too, but…. Well, what about Kevin?

And then there was Irene and Ilene. Their dad was the one that was going to actually kill him. No, he decided, yelling Lady Allith's plans would be a terrible idea….

"Irene! Ilene!" Lady Allith yelled, her glare turning to the twins. They gulped. "Your limousine arrived almost twenty minutes ago. Your father is waiting for you."

She pointed down a long corridor. "The limousine is waiting in parking lot A; hurry, now, your father has a meeting in a couple of hours."

The twins looked reluctant to leave. They stared at Eddy, and then whispered to each other. Lady Allith gave them a chilling glance, which caused the two to start running down the hall. "Irene! Ilene! People of your social integrity do not run down corridors." The two stopped running, and walked properly, but quickly.

Lady Allith turned to Kevin and frowned. "Aren't you going to join them? After all, you do work for the Rosomons, correct?"

Kevin frowned and followed the twins, muttering under his breath.

Lady Allith turned back to Eddy. She put a sympathetic, pleading look on her face. "Sir Eddy, are you feeling unwell? First, you were late for lessons. Then, you walked to class and talked like a commoner! Sir Eddy, you yawned impolitely, and then ran out of the room! We had to chase you all over the mansion, sir!"

"Don't yell at me!" Eddy yelled, in his typical I'm in trouble, how can I make it worse way. "Who do you think you are?"

Lady Allith's sympathetic look faded away, replaced with a face almost as angry as Eddy. "SIR EDDY, what is wrong with you today? Don't yell at your elders! Follow me, young man-"

Eddy instantly started to refuse, but two extremely large guards came up and stood next to him. Knowing better then to run, he just grumbled as they walked through the confusing corridors. At one point, he thought he heard someone following them. He stopped and looked behind him, but no one was there.

"Keep going, sir," one of the guards said.

A scowl crossed his face, but he continued to walk. Who does that Fay think she is, pulling something like this? How am I supposed to enjoy being rich if I'm DEAD? And why the heck does my "perfect" universe have Kevin at all?! FAY, GET ME OUT OF HERE!

Nothing happened. Lady Allith suddenly stopped in front of a door. She pulled out a pair of keys and unlocked it; Eddy took a peak inside the room and saw what looked like another bedroom. There was a ridiculously large bed, a couple of chairs, a desk, and a large drawer. One of the chairs stood a good distance away from the desk; one was right next to it. Oddly enough, there were no chairs at the desk.

"Set down, Sir Eddy," Lady Allith said politely, indicating the chair farther from the desk. Eddy was reluctant; after a motionless second, Lady Allith indicated the chair again, a harsher look in her stern face, and Eddy slumped over to it. "Sir Eddy, do not slump while you walk!"

"Whatever."

The two guards came in and locked the door behind them. Eddy's anger suddenly dulled a little; it was replaced with the horrible sensation of fear. Don't lock the door! Don't lock that door!

"Eddy, why have you been so… disruptive today?" Lady Allith asked in a sickeningly sweet tone.

Eddy glared at her. "Unlock that door," he told one of the guards, in a commanding tone. They looked at each other and both shook their heads. "Unlock it right now!"

Lady Allith suddenly pulled out a remote control from the desks. She pressed one of the buttons before Eddy could react, and the next thing Eddy knew, two pairs of cuffs had emerged from the chair, and his arms and legs were unable to move. He instinctively started struggling, and Lady Allith, with an evil smile on her face, ambled over. "What do you know, Eddy? Tell me, you brat!"

A fuse broke in Eddy, and he yelled out the first words that came to his lips. The words just happened to be the worst words he could yell at the time: "I know you're going to KILL me at that stupid parade!"

A loud noise came from outside the door at that moment. The guards jumped; it sounded like someone had been listening in, and they had gasped in surprise. They opened the door and dragged in Kevin, who was trying unsuccessfully to punch them with his free hand.

"ALLITH, you're going to KILL Eddy?!" Kevin screamed. One of the guards threw him into the chair closer to the desk; Lady Allith pressed a button and, before Kevin could move, he was trapped, too.

"Yes, I am," Lady Allith smirked. "And I'm going to enjoy it, too! I guess I'll have to kill you, but it won't due to have a dead body on premise…. I guess we will have to wait until after the assassination!"

"Do you think we'll keep quiet for four days?" Eddy yelled at the top of his lungs. "A LOYAL GUARD WILL CERTAINLY HEAR US AND COME RUNNING!"

"Good thing I always keep this on me, then," Lady Allith said, pulling out a syringe from a hidden pocket in her skirt. The syringe contained a peculiar blue substance that moved around sluggishly.

"What's going on?" Kevin asked, unable to see the syringe due to his disease.

Lady Allith calmly walked over to the boy and injected him with half of the substance. His head collided with the back of his chair, and he stopped struggling. Eddy was terrified- "You killed him!"

"Didn't I just say a dead body wouldn't do?" Lady Allith said, rolling her eyes. She casually strolled up to Eddy, who was trying with all his might to escape the stainless steel handcuffs "That useless servant is just sleeping, and he will be for the next couple of days. Good night, Eddy!"

Eddy started to turn his head towards her, but he was overwhelmed with a sudden tiredness. Then, all went black….
