Chapter 4: Finally Reunited (For Real This Time)
"Oh, well that makes sense, I guess..," Alice replied to the figure in front of her.
She had recently woke up in this place called "Purgatory" after she was brutally murdered by a mysterious man in purple. She had found Cris, trapped inside an impenetrable barrier and going through a process called "Contimplation," and met this mysterious spirit (or what she thought was a spirit). The spirit had explained that Purgatory was a place where lost and vengeful spirits dwell until they either find the way out or get revenge on their killer(s). The spirit explained that Alice and the other children were here because that were seeking revenge on the man that killed them. But what the spirit didn't explain is why Cris was here in the first place.
"Yes," the spirit stated in its wispy voice, "this is a very…..dark place." He gestured around the area at the endless blackness around them.
"Wait. You said that Cris begged you to stay here," She recalled earlier in the conversation, "Well, why was he here in the first place?"
The spirit shook its masked head in dismay, "I cannot answer that. He was not supposed to be here. That is all I know about his situation."
Alice looked down at her feet, "Well, where are the others?"
"Others? Ah! You mean Terence, Frederick, and James! Come, they actually Aries here before you."
Alice followed the masked spirit into the blackness. She saw a faint light in the distance. A flashlight beam.
They soon saw three figures: A young man in a Foxy mask, a young boy in a red t-shirt, and another young boy in a suit. The flashlight beam was now directly on them and the three boys were now looking at them.
The figures then started towards the two. One of them, James was running to them, a grin on his face. The second, Frederick, was walking leisurely towards them.
The last of them, Terence, Alice assumed, was walking very slowly, as if cautiously, towards them, far behind the two others.
James reached the two first and wrapped them in a big bear hug. "I'm so glad to see ya, Alice! I thought you would never get here!" He said joyfully.
Frederick was right behind James. Holding a hand out to Alice, he said, "Glad to see you again!"
Terence was the last to reach them. He barely noted that the masked spirit was present as he put on the most forced and fake smile he could and said, in a very gruff voice, "Hello….."
The spirit turned to Alice and said, "I've already explained everything to the boys. I've also set up separate, and private, spaces for each of you. You should be able to see them on the horizon."
He pointed to six small buildings, each having a door with the respective child's name engraved on it. One of them had a name Alice had never seem before: Scott. Could that be this spirit's name? There was also one which seemed to belong to Cris. Alice remembered that Cris had begged to stay here and see his friends. She assumed that's where he was to stay while he was here.
"Now here are the keys to your rooms. There is only one of them. No one else can get into your room without you letting them. Except for me. My key can open all of them. I'm your guardian while you are here, so I'm allowed to go into your rooms for safety purposes. If you lose your key, come talk to me and I can teleport it back to you. Your respective rooms are yours, you can do whatever you like with them." The spirit passed around the keys, each engraved with the child's respective name. "Cris has already received his. You are now dismissed to your rooms."
The children all walked toward their respective rooms. The rooms were all in a row and all in alphabetical order. Left to right, it was: Alice, Cris, Frederick, James, Terence.
Alice walked towards her room. It was the first in the row, orange in color (about which she was very pleased) and, of course, had her name engraved on the door: Alice Jennings
Slowly, Alice opened the door and peered inside. The room was about the size of an average living room. It contained nothing but a desk, a lamp, and a bed in the eastern corner, but the rest of the room was empty. The walls, floor, and ceiling were orange, like the outside.
She opened the door and stepped inside. She decided to move the bed, which was orange, to the western end of the room and the desk to the other side, parallel to the lamp she placed beside the desk.
Alice looked inside the lone drawer in the desk, where she discovered an orange journal with her name on it. Wow, she thought, purgatory may be dark, but the accommodations are something to smile about!
She lifted the journal out of the drawer and started writing in it….
End of Chapter!
A/N/: Sorry for only focusing on Alice in these last few chapters! I'm gonna try to work out a system in which all of the main characters( the children and Peter) get developed well and get many chapters focused around mostly them! I'm gonna try Terence for the next one! See ya later!
