Hi again. So yeah, Ender Mcauthor, if this were to be a CarriexGumball story, it would be stated in the summary. The only romance that WOULD be in this story is Carmen and Alan, Gumball and Penny. Anyway back to the Murder mystery horror story that, like I said last time, would already be an episode if I did own The Amazing World of Gumball. But I don't. If that wasn't already clear. OK? OK.
*POP*
"What was that!?" Carmen asked.
"I don't know." Gumball said
"Well the lights don't seem like coming back on." Penny said.
"Are you sure, maybe the lights will come back on like they did before." Darwin said.
Immediately as Darwin said that, the light bulb blew up, dropping glass on the floor.
"Good job jinxing it." Tobias said.
"Bobert how much longer can you keep that flashlight on?" Carrie asked.
"Approximately half an hour, I did not get a full charge today." Bobert said.
"Alright then, we need to search for a lantern or another flashlight." Teri said.
"But there's way too many rooms." Carmen said.
"Alright then, I guess the only thing we can do is split up." Darwin said.
"What are you talking about! That always happened in the movies, and guess what happens next? Somebody dies!" Tobias said.
"Well what else can we do?" Gumball asked.
"Ok how about this, we split up into two groups of four. Me, Gumball, Carmen, and Teri go check around on the second floor while you guys got look around these rooms." Darwin said.
"Alright sounds like a plan, we meet up back here if we happen to stumble upon something." Penny said.
"Ok lets go then." Teri said
"Um , does anybody even care about what that pop was, or where Alan is?!" Carmen said, hoping that whatever she thought happened didn't happen.
"Look, I am sure that Alan has to be ok, we will investigate." Penny said trying to calm Carmen down.
So both groups went investigating their floors.
"Dude, I am scared." Darwin said to his best bro as the four of them walked up the stairs.
"Look Darwin, we can survive this if we only try to isolate the person and then we can… um…" Gumball started to say, wondering what else they could possibly do to rid themselves of the ghost.
"Wait, can't we do the same thing that we did with Jealousy?" Darwin asked.
"Depends if we have any pepper around here." Gumball said
"So what now then?" Carmen asked as she saw the three doors.
"We split up more then?" Darwin suggested.
"Does anybody else have a better idea?" Teri asked
Nobody did.
"Ok then, me and Darwin will check out the left door while you and Carmen check out the right one." Gumball said.
Right now, nobody trusted each other, since everybody seemed to be acting like their normal selves. Nobody seemed to be acting suspicious, much to everyone's discomfort.
Teri and Carmen went right while Gumball and Darwin went left. Gumball opened the door and could hardly see anything with the lights out and whatnot, so he attempted to search for a light switch. He found one and flicked it on. He realized that him and Darwin were in a bedroom. The walls were painted pink. There was a closet in the side. There was a bed located in the far right corner with baby blue bed sheets and a oak wooden frame.
"Do you think people actually lived here?" Gumball asked
No response came.
He turned around to look for his best bro, but he was by himself in the room. He went back to the door and opened it to look in the main room. The room was lit up by the bedroom light Gumball was in. He didn't see Darwin anywhere. He looked around, noticing that Banana Joe's (mushy) corpse was no longer in front of the door. However, He looked down in front of the stairs, and noticed some blue mixed in with a string. Gumball saw this with much horror as he realized what that POP was. Carmen was not going to like this.
Teri and Carmen walked into the left room, fumbling for a light switch. Teri found one and flicked it on, revealing a library. There were basically bookshelves covering all the walls except the one that had the door Teri and Carmen just walked in through. There was a rocking chair near one of the bookshelves. Teri and Carmen walked around, amazed at the vast collection of books. However, since they were so old, they had spider webs covering them. Teri nearly fainted when she bumped into a dusty bookshelf.
Teri then proceeded to yell.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Carmen asked, hoping Teri was alright.
"I was touched by a dusty book. I'm infected, please, you have to have some sanitizer right!?" Teri exclaimed
Carmen rolled her eyes as she calmed Teri down.
"Hygiene is the least of our problems right now." Carmen said as they continued looking for a flashlight.
Bobert, Tobias, Penny, and Carrie were downstairs, thinking about which room to go to.
"I say that we stick together and go through each room one by one." Penny suggested
Nobody disagreed as they all went into the 1st door on the left wall.
Bobert pointed his light around as Tobias flicked a light switch.
They were in what seemed to be a dining room.
A long table with ten chairs was placed in the middle of the room.
The walls were a bright turquoise. A chandelier was above the table. Two doors lay in the back of the room. There was one painting on the left wall showing a beautiful field with some trees.
Everybody immediately looked for some kind of flashlight or lantern. Bobert scanned the room using some sort of x-ray vision. Penny and Tobias looked everywhere, while Carrie phased through the two doors looking for anything useful for their current situation.
Carrie immediately brought back a lantern.
"Guys, I got something." Carrie said.
Everybody met up in the middle as they inspected the lantern. It worked and shined very bright. Bobert turned his flashlight off as he felt very weak.
"I don't feel so good." Bobert said as he nearly (fainted? Powered down?).
The three grabbed him and brought him back up. They noticed that he seemed very very weak. They asked him what they should do as he showed them his charger port. They inspected it.
"It seems like a simple phone charger would work." Penny said.
"Darwin had a phone, maybe he might have a charger." Tobias said, obviously trying to impress Penny.
"Well who is going to get Darwin?" Penny asked
The two looked at Carrie
"Ugh, fine." She said as she phased through the door they entered through.
Carmen was having the time of her life (sarcasm intended). Teri would not shut up about the cobwebs and the dust everywhere. They still searched, determined to find if not a flashlight, then something useful.
"Look what I found." Carmen said as she took a book out that seemed to talk about the history of Elmore
She flipped through the pages to find many different things. She saw a old town map that displayed all of their current houses, but in a different shape. She also found the history of everybody in the town.
"Whoa, my great,great,great grandmother was the town's best baker. Teri come look!" exclaimed Carmen.
She turned to notice that Teri was nowhere to be seen.
Teri immediately ran out looking for some sort of bathroom. She forgot, however, that she couldn't see anything. She tripped down the stairs as Carrie caught up to her.
"Teri, what happened?" Carrie asked, suspicious as to why she was here alone.
"Me and Carmen found a library and it was full of dust and webs and I need to find a bathroom to wash away the germs!" Teri stated
Carrie, annoyed with what Teri just said, decided to just go and continue looking for Darwin.
Penny was starting to get annoyed at Tobias bragging about everything that he has done in his lifetime. She got so fed up that she said something straight to his face.
"Tobias, how about you make yourself useful for once and go help Carrie look for Darwin!" Penny said.
Tobias, shocked and defeated, decided to go and do as Penny asked.
Penny stood there and set Bobert on the table as she waited impatiently.
Teri kept on, determined to find a bathroom. She tried the 1st door on the right wall and opened it. To her luck, it was a bathroom. She closed the door, turned on the lights, and immediately checked the water faucet. Clean water fell on her hands as she scrubbed intensely. She could not believe it. However, she looked up at the mirror and saw that the bathroom door was open. She went outside and inspected the main room, not noticing anything unusual, and turned back towards the bathroom. She walked back in when somebody came at her with scissors.
Carrie managed to find Gumball in a bedroom.
"Gumball" Carrie called
Gumball jumped at the sight of Carrie.
"CARRIE, PLEASE STOP DOING THAT!" Gumball said, annoyed at Carrie.
"Look sorry, but I am not here for you, where is Darwin?" Carrie asked
"I'm not sure." Gumball said
Carrie raised an (eyerbrow?) as she thought that Gumball was very suspicious.
"Look I swear that I was here a second ago with Darwin, but he just seemed to vanish." Gumball stated
Before Carrie could reply, they heard a yell come from outside.
They both rushed out only to realize yet again that it was dark. Luckily, Penny came out of the Dining room with a Lantern. Carmen came out of the Library too. All four of them made their way downstairs. They waited outside of a door where the yell was heard from. They noticed that Teri, Darwin, Tobias, and Bobert were not with them. Penny and Carrie explained about what happened with Teri, Bobert and Tobias. But nobody knew what happened with Darwin. Gumball opened the door as Teri, headless, fell flat on the floor. Everybody was horrified as they looked inside. There was a pair of scissors, but nothing else unusual. As soon as they finished inspecting the room, Penny saw Darwin and Tobias unconscious near the stair case. They rushed to them as Carmen checked their pulse.
"They are still alive, but their heartbeat's are very slow." Carmen stated.
"Well we should tie them up!" Carrie stated, to everyone's surprise.
"They were the only two that were missing at the moment, it could be one of them!" She said defending her previous statement.
"Wait, has it ever occurred to anybody that the ghost might hopping from one person to another." Penny said, just realizing this theory.
Everyone started talking about it as Carmen looked back and saw a popped balloon with string attached to it.
She wailed as she went over to it, horrified at what she saw. Maybe Banana Joe and Teri were dead, but she couldn't believe that Alan, her love, was popped right in front of her. She balled and balled as the others tried to comfort her, but she pushed them away, never wanting to leave the (corpse?). Everybody knew now that no one was safe from this game.
So yeah, tell me how it is so far. Please R+R, for without it, this story will probably end up very horribly (by that, I mean the worst kind of writing ever). More blood will be shed!
