As promised, the next chapter. This one isn't in Phantom's P.O.V
While Phantom climbed the vents, with great difficulty, the others opened the door and were immediately surrounded by lots of Draculoids and even some Scarecrows. Korse's voice sounded from above. "I see you pests managed to find your way to my house." he commented flatly. "Dude, this is your house?" Fun Ghoul took a look around. There was a staircase with a fine railing to the right and he could see a mahong coffe table surrounded by three plush couches. "It's freakin' awesome!" he finished. "FUN GHOUL!" yelled his friends. He recieved a smack in the head, curtesy of Lawbreaker and a death glare from Party Poison. Kobra Kid tried to stiffle his laughter and Jet Star rolled his only eye at him. Even Grace facepamed and left her head burried in her hands. "Oh c'mon! Even you guys gotta admit that it has a nice sophisticated to it! And the decorations are nice too!" he told them franatically.
"As fun as watching you fight between yourselves, I believe it's time to end it." Korse snapped his fingers and all battle broke loose. Gunshots, screams and pleas filled the air. It was an intense fight and tension was palpable. The killjoys relayed on their skills, yet they were outnumbered, giving them the lower hand.
Soon they were all caught and ragged to the lab in the floor below. They struggled, clawed and even got to biting the dracs, to no avail. Lawbreaker even sat down and openly refused to move from her spot. This went on for a while and a Scarecrow had to pick her up and throw her over his shoulder like a bag of potatoes and carry her all the way down. Still, that didn't stop her from kicking, biting, punching, pinching and doing anything that she could to escape. "Enough of this, you insolent child!" the Scarecrow that was carring her commanded in a furious yell. "NO! And I'm not a child! I'm twenty-four for goodness sake you idiot!" she yelled back, feeling pretty much insulted. Yet instead of apologizing, like a normal person would, he answered with a simple 'whatever'. Lawbreaker got even madder and it would be safe to say that she had full out tantrum ontop of the poor man. She had literally beated the guy to jelly pulp. He got her chained as his master directed and got the hell outta there!
All the other killjoys (and Grace) were chained as well. "So, the usual huh? Same four killjoys, same little girl. Ha...Wait, who're you? I think I've seen you before." Korse said. "Ha ha ha! It seems that you have as much memory as you do of hair, NONE!" Law said tauntingly. "Oh, now I remember. You're that gypsy killjoy, Lawbreaker, right?" he asked. "The one and only." she said back. "And where is that pesky cousin of your's huh? Where is that pathetic excuse that you have for a leader?" Korse sneered. "What's her name? Pha, phan...tom, no not that. It had to do with shadows I think," he muttered loudly, pretending to think about it. "Oh, yeah! Phantom Shadow. wher´s she at now?" he asked in mock deception.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute here," Party interrupted. "Lead gypsy? What the heck are you talking about? Didn't you kill them all already?" he asked confusedly. Korse looked at him incredulusly. Then the stangest thing happened. Korse started laughing his head off! "What?! Of course I killed them. Ha ha. It's just that, ha, it's that only four survived and then, hahahaha, and then I got two and hahaahahahahahah! Wait, wait!" he gulped in air. The others had wide eyes and their jaws touched the floor. To say that they were surprised was an understatement. They were beyond shocked. They all had seen Korse in many ways, but never had they seen him laugh. And for something so serious as that. "Ah, better now. As you were saying, I did kill the gypsies, but these two pests are like cocroaches and I don't know how but they always manage to survive! Although, that will change very soon!" Korse declared.
"But Phantom, she said that you killed them all! She isn't a gypsy, we asked her and she said so!" Fun Ghoul challenged. For the second time, Korse laughed, only that this time, he was making fun of them. "You got tricked! And by a sixteen year old girl at that? This is rich!" Korse kept laughing mockingly. "That little snitch only wanted to get revenge on me. She used you, so that she'd have more chances against BL/ind." Korse let the painful words sink in. "You wouldn't' ve done that, would you?" Kobra Kid asked, fearing that his nemesis was right. He had taken a liking towards these two girls and didn't think that they would simply use them to get Korse. "No, no! We'd never do such things! He only wants you to think that!" she defended herself against the harsh comments and bitter thoughts. "Why would he? What would he gain with that?" Party asked from his spot. "I knew I never should've trusted you!" he spat angrily, feeling betrayed. He too had grown fond of the gypsies, admit it or not. "I don't think I´ll trust a damn stanger any time soon." he added as an afterthought.
"Oh, don't speak like that m'boy. Why don't you let BL/ind take it all away, you´ll never have to worry about those things. Just trust me."
There ya go. Hope you enjoyed.
