Thanks for all your support. I really appreciate it. Also, I won't question any more logic about the characters of Elmore. Though if I get something wrong, please mention it in a review (if you like) or a PM. Please review. And review. And don't forget to review. And please review.
The Amazing World of Gumball is not mine. I am not Ben Bocquelet.
Hopefully that's how its spelled.
Because I don't do research on the way names are spelt.
Because I'm lazy like that.
That is all.
Darwin, Bobert, and Carrie waited in the Dining room for the return of Gumball, Carmen, and Penny.
None of them knew what was wrong with Tobias. He just sat there on the chair. He still had a slow heartbeat. The trio were getting impatient.
"Bobert what time is it?" Darwin asked.
"12:15" Bobert said.
"So its been about 15 minutes since the others left." Carrie said.
"I wonder what happened to them." Darwin wondered.
The other three were having a not so swell time.
When Penny, or the ghost, lashed out at Gumball and Carmen, they were able to dodge her attacks. She yelled in some other voice. Penny then grabbed a metal pipe and went animalistic. She was able to grab Carmen's wrist and started hitting her with it. Gumball immediately grabbed Penny's arm and yanked her off with all his strength. Carmen got up to assist Gumball as they both tried to push the possessed Penny into a storage closet. She yelled and kept lashing out until they finally got her inside the closet and locked it on the outside.
"Are you ok?!" Gumball asked Carmen.
"I think I will be." Carmen said as she grabbed one of her cactus branches in pain.
"Come on, lets find the pepper so we can get rid of this thing." Gumball said.
They searched for the pepper and medical supplies to heal Carmen's wounds.
They found nothing unfortunately. They couldn't find anything that would help aid them.
"Maybe if we told Carrie, there might be an alternative." Gumball said.
They were about to head upstairs when they realized that they couldn't leave the possessed Penny in the closet.
"What if the ghost just left her." Gumball suggested.
They hadn't heard her yell in a while. They approached the door slowly. Carmen slowly turned the knob as Gumball was ready at any second to slam the door shut. Carmen looked inside to see Penny lying flat on the ground, sobbing.
"I'm so sorry Carmen." She said, still somewhat sobbing.
"Penny, is that really you?" Carmen demanded.
"I blanked out when I landed on the floor. I awoke to see cactus water on my hands. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean too." Penny said, slowly making her way to the door.
Carmen opened the door as Gumball grabbed Penny and made sure that she was ok. Her eyes seemed normal and she seemed to be talking with her normal voice.
"It's ok Penny, it wasn't you. The bad thing is, we don't know where the ghost is." Gumball said.
The trio rested for a bit, wondering what they could do now. No pepper, no medical supplies, and no sign of the ghost anywhere. Things were probably going better with the others.
Bobert, Darwin, and Carrie just sat there while the uneventful minutes whizzed by them. Darwin tried his phone again. Of course, it didn't have service.
"What do you think happened with the others?" Darwin asked.
"I don't know, at this point, nothing can be great right now." Bobert said.
"Well should somebody go check on them?" Darwin asked.
The two then looked at Carrie.
"Are you serious? You know I don't like being the messenger." She said as she left the room to go in search for the others.
She decided to go to the door located on the stairwell wall. To her luck she was in the cellar where the other three were located, though Carmen seemed badly injured.
She appeared in front of the trio, nearly scaring them to death.
"REALLY!" Gumball said.
"Sorry, OK. It's a bad habit. Now Carmen what happened?" Carrie asked at the injured cactus.
"Penny was possessed and she, or it, started attacking me. We were able to contain her in a closet as we rested when the ghost left Penny." She said.
"Penny, do you remember anything?" Carrie asked.
"Nothing, I just awoke inside the closet. I just can't believe I acted so… so…" She trailed off as she started sobbing.
"This ghost is obviously out for blood. What should we do? We couldn't find any pepper." Gumball told Carrie.
"The best thing we can do right now is survive the night. Didn't the letter say 2 AM?" Carrie asked.
"Well yeah, but do you really think that the ghost will just leave us alone at 2 AM?" Gumball said.
"Maybe. We can at least wait, it might work." Carmen said, still in pain.
Meanwhile, Darwin and Bobert remained in the Dining room, waiting impatiently for anything to happen.
Suddenly, Tobias let out a series of coughing as the other two stared at him bewildered.
"Tobias?" Darwin asked as the two approached him carefully.
Tobias woke up to look around him before asking 1 simple question.
"Who's Tobias?" He asked
The four downstairs decided to go back up. They exited the room and went to meet up with the other two. They went into the Dining Room. They were met with Darwin and Bobert holding Tobias up.
"What happened?" Gumball asked.
"He woke up all of a sudden, but he doesn't seem to remember who he is. Whoa, what happened to Carmen?" Darwin asked.
"It's a long story. So he has amnesia?" Carmen asked.
"Maybe. What should our next logical approach be?" Bobert asked.
"We can try to jog his memory." Penny said.
"How?" Darwin asked.
Carmen then remembered what she had seen earlier.
"Some hours ago, I found a book about everybody's history in Elmore. Maybe it could contain some information to jog his memory. It was in the left door on the second floor." She said.
"Well then lets go, and this time, how about we ALL go there." Darwin said.
So everybody, including the non remembering rainbow humanoid, decided to make their way carefully to the library, bringing the lantern to light up the lobby.
They all made their way inside the library to find the dusty bookshelves.
"Wow!" Darwin said as he looked around the room.
Carmen then picked up the book and showed everybody.
"Whoa, look at Elmore!" Gumball said.
"And look, it even contains our history too, like for example, one of Gumball's ancestors was… a mule?" Carmen said as the others except Darwin looked at Gumball.
"um… lets look for Tobias's history." Gumball said, trying to change the subject.
They looked around and found Tobias's history.
They then gave the book to Tobias, who then took a look at everything. He Even found some information about him and his family now.
"Who are these people?" Tobias asked.
"That's you and your family. Your name is Tobias." Penny said.
"It is?" He asked.
"Come on you have to remember something!" Darwin exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, what's your name, but I don't know who this is." Tobias said.
"Bobert, is there anything you can do?" Carmen asked.
"This kind of information should of jogged his memory. There is no other explanation for his amnesia." Bobert said.
"Unless, something else was involved." Carrie said.
"What do you mean Carrie?" Gumball asked.
"Just give me a second." She said as she then went on and possessed Tobias.
He fell on his back as Carrie went to work. She decided to see if she could manually jog his memory. But what was strange was that he didn't seem to have any memory to jog. This led her to one conclusion. She left his body as the others asked what had happened.
"I tried to jog his memory manually, But apparently he doesn't have any memory to jog!" She said.
"What do you mean, he has to have a memory!" Gumball said.
"Not if it was stolen!" She said.
"What?" Penny asked.
"I believe that this other so called ghost might of stolen his memory, which was why he was unconscious when we found him. Now he has no memory at all" Carrie told them.
"How do you know this? I thought you said you couldn't access Gumball's memory when you possessed him" Darwin asked.
"I … may.. have lied and used Gumball's body before to eat and wipe a part of his memory of it." Carrie said.
"WHAT!" Gumball exclaimed as he now knew the reasons for some of his blackouts he has had recently.
"Look, I'm sorry and if you hate me now, that's understandable, but right now we need to focus on the matters at hand." Carrie said.
"But why would the ghost do that?" Carmen asked.
"To get information about us, at least from Tobias's perspective." Carrie said.
"So now the ghost knows what Tobias knew." Darwin said.
"Exactly." Tobias said.
The others looked at him as they realized he now had blood red eyes and that he talked with a different voice.
"To answer your question Darwin, I know everything about you people. And rest assured, none of you, even you Carrie, will not leave here alive!" The now possessed Tobias said as he took out a knife and stabbed himself in the heart.
The others looked in horror as their friend fell to the ground. They also noticed his eyes return to normal as he coughed up blood. He immediately bled out as the others looked on with horror.
"OH MY GOD!" Carmen said as she fainted, along with Penny.
The others looked on with horror as their once friend and classmate was now dead by what seemed like suicide. Gumball snapped out of his horror as he told the rest of the group that they had to leave immediately. They grabbed onto Penny and Carmen as they dragged them outside back into the Dining room, which seemed to now be their base.
"What are we gonna do now!?" Darwin exclaimed.
Nobody had an answer as they sat there, their bodies shocked with fear.
