I quickly got to my feet and clutched the flashlight with my shaking hands. My knees were shaking as I ran to the door. I jiggled the knob but it wouldn't open.

Okay, c-calm down. You'll get out of here. Just re-

"You seem lost. Need help?" a voice asked.

I froze and my shoulder became stiff.

"Miss? You alright?" the voice asked.

I slowly turned around and gasped when I saw what I was looking for. The purple monster with two sets of arms and legs. He had a large mouth and was a bit taller than me. I stepped back and pointed a finger at him.

"Y-You're the...you're that m-mons-"

"Monster?" the creature asked.

I nodded quickly.

"You know, I may be a monster but I have a name, okay?"

I made a face. "Wait...what?"

"Randall. Just call me Randall." the monster said.

"Randall. Look, just give me a second to take in what's going on, okay? I'm in a room with a mon- I mean, with...you. And, we're...talking." I said.

Randall nodded. "That about sums it up."

"Okay. Now, if you'll excuse me. I need to get out of this room. I don't want to get in trouble. I shouldn't be in this building, anyway." I said.

I reached for the doorknob and tried to open the door, but it still wouldn't open. I sighed and turned to Randall.

"Here, let me help." he said, smiling.

I moved aside.

He gave the door a large push and it opened. I gasped as the door opened. The door didn't lead to the factory but to a small room. Randall looked amazed too. I unzipped my backpack and pulled out my drawings. I found one and held it in the air.

The drawing and the room looked very similar even though the drawing was mostly scribbles. The door we stepped out from was against a small wall and had a small device standing next to it. It had several buttons and a small lightbulb with a red light.

I took out my flash light and it showed even more of the room. There was a large desk and a series of small monitors. It seemed a bit familiar but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. There were several cameras around that were all dusty.

"What's wrong?" Randall asked.

"I don't know, it's just...this seems a little familiar. I know it sounds weird." I said.

"Keep looking. Maybe it'll come back to you." Randall advised.

I give him a small smile and kept looking. The door we came out from was part of a small bedroom. It looked like a boy's room. I stepped onto the bedroom platform and headed towards the bed. There was a small boy with his eyes closed and a dusty and rusty face.

He's not real. Looks like a robot.

Then, I closed my eyes as I felt my memory tugging.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

"Boo?" Sulley asked.

Boo had ran away to the other side of the room in tears. She had just seen a scary side of Sulley he never wanted her to see. He had just frightened a robot child but didn't notice that Boo was standing there by the bed. He followed her but she cried more and ran from him.

"Boo? Boo, it's me." the monster said.

Boo tripped over some wires and fell on her back. Her hood from her monster costume fell of and revealed her face.

Mary gasped and stepped back. Randall stood by her.

"What is it? You okay?" he asked, concerned.

"I've been...I've been here before. This place." I said, trying to catch my breath.

"You have? When?" Randall asked.

"I was only about 3 years old. I saw a blue furry monster and it scared me to death. He frightened me and I was just...terrified."

"Did he have dark purple spots?"

I nodded.

"Oh no. You remember him?"

"Well, just a little. Why?"

"He's dangerous. Look, you can't be here- Sorry, what was your name?"

"Mary. Mary Gibbs."

"Okay, Mary, you have to go. This guy is trouble and you don't want him to see you here."

"Why, what's wrong, Randall? Tell me."

He sighed. "A long time ago, he started to kidnap children and use them for this company. See, our monster world's electricity is powered by children's screams, which is why we scare you. Well, Sullivan was tired of scaring kids and decided to steal children and use this terrible machine on them to get even more energy from one child. I tried to stop him but he banished me."

"That's why you were in my world." I realized.

Randall nodded. "Yes. Now, you have to go."

"But, what about you? I can't leave you here alone. We have stop this Sullivan guy. He's going to hurt kids all over the world and I won't just go home, knowing all this is happening." I said.

"I can't let you. This isn't your fight." he said.

"Maybe it is." I said.

He looked at me, and tried to say something else, but I gave him a look.

"I'm not leaving, Randall. I'm going to help you."

He sighed again. "I guess there's no stopping you. Come on, we better get out of this room."

"Where are we, anyway?" I asked, following him.

"We're in Monsters Inc. Sullivan's company." Randall replied.

"Right. So, first we find Sullivan, right?" I asked.

"Well, kind of. First, we get out of here and find shelter. Then, we figure out how we're going to stop him."

"Oh, that's a better idea." I said.

Randall stopped. "Wait, hang on. You're a human, so you need to cover up."

"Why? Aren't I scary enough?" I asked, making a scary face.

Randy chuckled. "Yes, actually. Us monsters think that kids are toxic. Even to the touch. If monsters see you, they'll freak and call the CDA."

"What's that? Like the FBI?"

"Yeah, a little. They're supposed to catch kids that come into our world and...actually I don't know what they do to them, honestly."

I flinched. "I'd rather not know, actually."

Randall nodded and walked towards a few cardboard boxes. I saw what he was thinking.

"Let me guess, I'll have to get in one, right?" I asked.

"I was thinking that but I'm kind of supposed to be banished right now. So, people seeing me won't be too good either." Randall said.

"Oh, right." I said.

Then, Randall looked like he had an idea. He told me to get into a box and I did. I was curious as to what he was up to, but trusted him. He picked up the box and settled it down again. Then, I heard wheels turning and figured he put the box on a cart. I heard doors open and close and we were on our way through the factory.

We stopped several times when I heard footsteps approach or monster talking. They all sounded like normal people. I nearly got sick because of how many times we moved and stopped. After a while, he opened the box and I flinched from the sunlight.

Randall held out his three-fingered hand and helped me out. The box was on a cart and we were in a parking lot filled with carts. Randall pulled me through the parking lot and we ran inside a supply truck. We both panted as we sat down in the back of the truck.

"At least we got out in one piece." I said, smiling.

"Yeah. I didn't think we'd make it." Randall said.

"So, how did you get through without people seeing you?"

"Oh, I would stop and hide for a second. I used to scare kids for a living, Mary. I know a thing or two about hiding.' Randall chuckled.

"Oh, excuse me for doubting your talents."

We both laughed and finally caught our breaths. Randall would look out of the truck often to make sure no one was around.

"So, how do we stop Sullivan?" I asked.

"Well, it'll be hard to bring him down. He's got the whole media thinking he's an angel from above. Instead of scaring kids, he makes them laugh because it gives ten times more energy than screaming." Randall explained.

I hugged my legs and made a face at that. "But, isn't that...a good thing?"

"Sounds good but he's just doing it for his company to make money. And, now the media makes him look like a hero." Randall said, shaking his head.

"Oh, well we better stop him. Any ideas?" I asked.

"We confront him. Sullivan is terrified of humans so we can use that to our advantage. He'll see you and just beg me to turn you in. I'll say that I will and make him confess to the city that he's not what they think he is. Simple, I'll make it up as we go along." he said.

I shrugged. "A far as plans go, it's not too bad. What...what do you think will happen to him? Sullivan, I mean?"

Randall laughed. "Why? Does it matter?"

"I was just asking. I'm not worried. I'd like to know that he gets what he deserves." I shrugged.

"Well, let's hope he gets it. We'll confront him tonight. He'll be in his office alone, so we'll be fine." Randall said.

I nodded in agreement as Randall got out of the truck. He said he needed some air and would come back when it was time to go.

"Be careful." I said quietly, when he was gone.

I asked about Sullivan because I honestly didn't want anything bad to happen to him. I mean, he made mistakes but it seemed like he really cared about the children of the world by not scaring them anymore. Randall seemed to have a lot of hate towards Sullivan that it almost scared me. When he talked about him he growled and seemed different. I knew he was banished and all but I never liked to believe that someone like Sullivan was completely evil.

Everyone had some good in them. Sometmes, you just had to dig really deep to find even a pinch of kindness in them. But, I trusted Randall and decided to go along with his plan.
