Hi everybody. There is something I realized while writing the last chapter. I unintentionally made a OC. Just saying that I really didn't think about it until I wrote the previous chapter. Took me a while to create him, especially his name.

Also, in this chapter, I did introduce a few references, maybe you will get them, maybe you won't. Just saying.

Anyway, also feel like last chapter turned out very dark. Then again this is a horror story. Also, I have a poll up for my next fanfic. Please go and take a look at it, so that I may start to write another fanfic after this one that doesn't involve so much… eh… death.

Ok, I do not own The Amazing… wait, do I have to say this in all the chapters?

Darwin looked at his brother, once standing with him a couple of hours ago, joking with each other about the masks. He promised their mom to keep Gumball safe. Now what was he to do?

Penny laid there, sobbing next to Gumball's corpse.

"Why did this have to happen?" She said, mid sob.

"It's my fault, I shouldn't of left him." Carrie said.

"Of course you shouldn't of. Now he's dead!" Penny said right at Carrie's face.

"Girls calm down, we can't just stay here in the open darkness." Carmen said.

Darwin was still staring at his brother lying on the ground, motionless in a puddle of his own blood.

"I'm so sorry Mom. And I'm so sorry Gumball." Darwin said to him self as he looked down at the ground in complete sorrow.

"Guys, we have to move." Carmen said.

"I am not leaving him." Penny said.

"Look, come on, we have to go, or else I don't think you'll be left to mourn for him." Carrie said.

"No, I'm not leaving him!" Penny said.

Darwin noticed what was happening and went to help.

"Penny, come on, please, I feel bad for Gumball too. Do you know how much this hurts me. I just lost my brother to some stupid Vincent ghost, but Gumball would want for us to survive. Come on." Darwin said.

"I SAID I'M NOT LEAVING HIM!" Penny yelled.

"Carrie?" Darwin said under his breath as he and Carmen raised an eyebrow in her direction.

"I hope you know that she'll probably hate me for this." Carrie said.

"It's for her own good." Carmen said.

Carrie let out a sigh as she went towards Penny and possessed her to Penny's abrupt surprise.

"I can already feel her anger." Carrie, or now Penny, said to Darwin and Carmen.

"Come on, it's worth it." Darwin said.

Carmen and Carrie/Penny started to walk away as Darwin turned around and looked at his dead brother one last time.

"Gumball, I will always remember you as my best bro." Darwin said as he quickly ran towards the other two, trying to hold back his tears.

"We can go to the kitchen." Carmen said.

"Wait, have we checked all the rooms?" Carrie said.

"No, there's still that door on the left side of the right wall and the door right in front of the top of the stair case." Darwin said.

"I say we try the room down here." Carmen said.

The others agreed as they made their way to that door, trying to see through the darkness.

"Here it is." Darwin said as he turned the door knob.

The trio walked in as Darwin turned on a light switch.

They were in what appeared to be a study. The walls were a light brown while the floor had velvet carpeting. There was a desk in the far left of the room. There were some file cabinets in the far right. There was a glass display case that had some old antiques in it on the left wall. On the right wall, there hung two paintings of some people that appeared to be painted from about 2 centuries ago.

Darwin walked up to the paintings and read the plaques under them out loud for Carmen and Carrie to hear while they looked around the room.

"This one says Emile - Do'h I missed, while the one next to it only says Tim - In the Bathroom. I wonder what that means or who these people were?" Darwin said.

"I don't know. Hey Carrie, or Penny, or whatever I should call you now, what are we looking for?" Carmen said.

"You can still call me Carrie. And right now, our priority is pepper. It could be possible to still find some around here." She scurried around looking for it as her mind raced with a million and one thoughts. How could she get them out of this mess? Then, a sudden thought seemed to occur to her. "Wait a minute! Remember what I told you guys, about a curse being placed on the ghost." Carrie said.

"Yeah, what about it?" Carmen asked.

"I'm thinking that this curse may have come from a book. A book that I think I might of saw in the library. If I remember correctly, and we get it, we can trap the ghost in here permanently and be able to leave!" Carrie said.

"How did you just realize all that just now?" Darwin asked.

"I don't know, it just came to mind." Carrie said.

"You know, it's funny. It seems like you're the supposed leader now." Carmen said.

"Hey, I know the most about ghost's and curses, one of the reasons being that I am a ghost." Carrie said.

They gave a slight laugh, calming them down as to what had happened in the last 2 hours and fifteen minutes.

"So are you sure you saw this book?" Darwin asked.

"Yeah, I think. The book had a reddish brown cover with a golden hand on it with the number 3." Carrie said.

"Ok then, so shouldn't we get going then." Carmen said.

"Um, what about Penny?" Darwin asked.

"I think she has calmed down." Carmen said.

"I hope your right." Carrie said.

Carrie then exited Penny's body via her mouth. Penny shook her head as she looked shocked at Carrie.

"What was that for!" She said.

"Look, I'm sorry, but we had to get out, before one of us ended up like Gumball." Carrie said.

"Yeah, it was the only way, since you seemed like you wouldn't come with us." Darwin said.

"Maybe a warning next time." Penny said, crossing her arms.

"Look, I'm sorry, but I think we came up with a plan to get out of here alive." Carrie said.

They then explained to Penny the plan.

"Are you sure you saw this book?" Penny asked.

"Quite sure, though hopefully I'm not wrong." Carrie said.

"Well then why are we waiting here?" Penny asked.

"Well we were waiting to see if you were ok and ready." Darwin asked.

"I'm fine, let's just try to not die today, I already lost more than enough friends." Penny said.

With that statement, the four left the study. They treaded cautiously in the dark. Penny attempted to look for Gumball's body, but like the others, it too was gone. They made their way up the stairs and was heading for the library when something happened.

"Hey guys." Darwin said as they were right walking next to the door that was right in front of the stairwell. "Do you guys hear that?"

"Hear what?" Penny asked.

"Just listen to the door." Darwin said as he put his ear to the door.

The others did the same as they listened for a while. They soon heard a faint voice. It grew a tiny bit louder. It seemed to be crying out for help. They then recognize it as the voice of…

"ALAN!" Carmen said excitedly. She knew it was all a joke. She knew that Alan was still alive. She couldn't wait to confront him and be with him again.

"Wait Carm…" Penny began, before Carmen opened the door and went rushing on in.

Darwin tried to hurry after her, but the door slammed shut. He tried to open it, but it was locked.

"Carrie, go after her!" Darwin said.

Carrie then attempted to phase through the wall, only to find out that she couldn't.

"I can't, I don't know why, but I can't go through the wall." Carrie said, before she tried again.

"CARMEN!" Penny yelled at the door, hoping it would travel through to Carmen's ears.

Carmen heard Penny's distant yell, but she ignored it. She was too happy about meeting up with Alan again. She came to what seemed to be like a master bedroom. A king sized bed laid in the middle of the room against the back wall. Their were two nightstands on either side. The room was dark. The walls were painted red with cream colored carpeting. There was a door on one side of the room, and a staircase on the other along with two more paintings. However, there was a certain blue balloon with it's back towards Carmen.

"There you are. Oh my god, I have never been so happy to see you!" Carmen said.

The balloon just floated there.

"Um, hello? Alan?" Carmen said as she approached the balloon.

Alan didn't respond.

"Alan, come on, this isn't funny." Carmen said as she grabbed Alan and turned him around.

She saw with horror that drawn across poor Alan's deceased face had the red words "Your Next."

She threw the balloon away as it popped in her face. She fell backwards to see Teri's headless body come at her with a shovel.

"Oh My god, Teri!" Carmen said as the obviously possessed headless Teri brought the shovel down on her.
