I am looking forward for this chapter XD And sometimes I do say things like "Makiyo," "Ku," "Afu," or anything kind from Puchimas.
It will still be a SebastianxOC, so in this, bare with it since I'm a fan-girl of both Sebastian and Undertaker. (They are God-dang Sexy!).
Fate told by an Insane Mortician
First some strange guy came to the tree, vanishes, then a Funeral shop came out of nowhere.
The tan building look old and Victorian with a big dark door and a Coffin to its left. I can see some tombstones, a burnt orange flag, and some long Grave sticks pinned to the walls. There was even a dark violet sign with a white skull, sitting on top of the sign, pronouncing Undertaker.
I stared at the shop then look around to see if anyone else notices it.
It was very quiet, not a single bird, dog, or even a car to be heard, I didn't see any people nor any creature coming out to see this unknown building.
It was like a Ghost Town, or time just froze...
I wanted to ignore it and pretend to never see it, but besides fear, I hate being curious.
I was curious to know if it's just my imagination again or not.
So then, I put my backpack down then walked to the building, touching the wall to see if it's real.
Sadly, I felt stone and bricks, meaning it's not an illusion.
I stared at the sign from above, reading, "Undertaker?"
I gulped since I know two things from Undertakers, Death and Coffins.
I want to turn away, but curiosity got the best of me, so I looked through the small dark window of the door, then slowly walked to the door, touched the door knob and opened it slowly, revealing a very dark area as far as the eye can see through the squeaky door.
I hesitated, but I stepped on the concrete floor and walked in.
The first items I saw and mostly were coffins, coffins, and more coffins!
All in different shapes and sizes!
The biggest coffin have candles and papers with a pink pen and bookmark, it had a chair right in behind of it, making it a desk.
The shelves are filled with skulls, more candles and papers, voodoo, and jars that's filled with body parts and ashes of dead innocent people. There was a vanity, but the sink was just a clay bowl with water. I found a few skeletons, including an anatomy body close to the desk. I noticed the walls are cracked with old paint and water leak stains, icing the place with cobwebs and dust.
I gulped as I looked around, deciding that it's best to leave this place and never come back.
But as I was about to turn, I heard the most scariest noise that I wish I haven't listen it...
BAMMN
~Click~
I turned back slowly with my eyes widen, seeing that the door was closed by itself!
I ran to the door, trying to open the handle, but it won't budge!
I kept trying to open the door, I even tried kicking it open, but it won't open. I'm locked in!
I slowly stepped back in my scared look, but I noticed someone grabbing me, almost like a hug around my neck.
I looked up and saw one of the skeletons from the wall with glowing blue lights from it's eyes.
I screamed, push it away, ran to the wall, I hide behind a coffin that leans on it.
I took a deep breath as I lean close to the wall, telling myself that I'm ok.
But then, I realized running there was a mistake, I felt someone grabbing my shoulder.
I looked and saw it was a pale white hand with a scar, a silver ring with a teal colored gem on it, and long, black nails like they were claws of a beast.
I screamed, pushing the hand away then ran to the other side, but I tripped over a coffin, landing on my stomach and chin.
I was about to cry in pain, but then I heard a horrible laugh that sounded like a mad scientist.
I scoot over a corner, hugging my knees, trying to ask myself if it just a dream, but all I can reply were whimpers and sobs.
I heard a voice that sounded like the man from the tree, but also from my dream, speaking to me,
"...Eh-hi-hi-hi~! What a timid dormouse you are~! Don't run away from The humble Cheshire cat~!"
My eyes widen, looking around to find the source, "W-Who said that? P-Please come out...w-who ever you are..."
I know saying that ends up as a mistake again, I saw the coffin that touched my shoulder open, revealing 2 green orbs and a bright white Cheshire grin...
Just like in the dream...
I gulped, "K-Ku!"
I tried to scoot farther from here, but the corner's a dead-end.
I felt like I was shrinking with a stopped heart when I heard the click of his heel when his right foot comes out first.
I want to run, but I just can't, I was too scared to move my legs!
I covered my face with my hands, whimpering that I could end up dead or worse than that!
I heard him walked to me, which made my blood drain, making me want to cry. But I felt his hand picking up my chin, removing my hands from my eyes to show his pale scar face with eyes covered by hair.
He smiled at me and said, "No need to be afraid, little bunny. Hee-hee! Welcome to my humble theme park!"
"A-Afu! W-What kind of Th-Theme park is this?! I wanna go home!" I panicked as I sink in a little.
"Ah, be careful, I wouldn't sink in like that if I was you," He smiled as he waved his hooded hand, "There's a ridiculous amount of giant centipedes in the corner."
My eyes widen and I looked down, seeing some crawling to my hand.
"MAKIYO!" I yelled then screamed.
I tried running from that spot, but I forgot that he's still in front of me so I accidentally bumped into him and fell on top of him.
He giggled as he sat up, making his hat fall off, "Clumsy child, are you, miss? Come Here."
Ku...
I wanted to run away and never come back, but the door's locked and my knees melted into jelly since I'm too scared to get close to him.
However, he did pulled me to his chest, hugging me and stroking my hair, "It'll be alright, I won't hurt you. There, there~ Ahehehehehehe~!"
I was about to whimper from fright and push him away from my personal space, but I smelled his aroma.
It doesn't smell like the undead, it's very sweet, like cinnamon cookies and vanilla cakes that just came out of the oven.
It did make my tummy rumble, wanting to have a small snack.
But sadly to me, the old man heard the low growl, "Ah, Hungry, aren't ya? Hee-hee! Come, Miss Madison!"
Madison? Who's Madison? Wait, that's me! I think fear took over my memories, but how did he knows my name?...
I look at him, taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, and spoke, "How did you know my name? Who are you?"
He grinned from ear to ear, replying, "Why, my dear, I am Adrian Crevan, the Mortician! I know many names from many record books and files ever since they are born, I kiss infant's foreheads and took care of the dead like they were children...But you can call me, Undertaker."
I have no clue what he was talking about, but I did spoke a little softly, "N-Nice to meet you, U-Undertaker."
Hee-hee! Now, allow me to pour you a cup of tea, my dear," He giggled as he walked to the coffin-like table in a very creepy tone, "Eh? Cup, Cup, Cup, Ah cup, Ah-hee-hee~!"
He picked up a beaker until he realized there was something there, "Ah, what have we here?" He giggled and pulled out something that made my eyes widen, "An ear from the last Victim? How did it got there?"
I gasped, "E-Ear!? V-Victim!? Did you...k-kill...it?!"
He put the ear and cup down, giggling, "Wrong! But Close! I told you I am the mortician, did I not? There is a crazy assassin around this city, looking for a girl with ashy, dark brown hair and brown eyes, just like your shade, my dear."
My eyes widen and gulped as he got to me, poking my cheek, "It's always problematic! They wanted to find the one they are looking for and do something horrible to them, but all have none, and so they kill them."
I couldn't believe my ears, erase all the girls with the same color as my hair and eyes, and I'm one of them? I don't get it at all!
"B-But Why? W-Why they want to destroy them, including me?" I asked.
He kept poking my cheek, mimicking my voice with a chuckle, "B-But Why? W-Why they want to destroy them, including you? Hee-hee! Would you like to know?"
I was nervous at first, but I nodded, speaking, "Y-Yes sir, I think I do!"
He chuckled and sing in such a silly tone, "~If you want to find the reason, you have to pay the price~! I'm a Mortician, but also an information giver!"
Price? Information giver?
I dug my pocket to pull out only three dollars and held them to him, "I only have three dollars, will that be enough?"
He looked at me like I grew a second head, then leaned to me, speaking, "Oh there is no need for the greenbacks, there's only one thing I want from you!"
I gulped, "O-Oh...t-then w-what is i-it?"
He grabbed my cheeks, speaking to me with a crooked grin, "Please! Give it to me, deary! The most greatest feeling that bubbles in my chest! Bestow me the greatest laughter! Just one joke and all the information is yours!"
My eye twitches in fear and confusion as I saw him hugging and wobbling himself, drooling like a fountain, moaning, "Yes! Oh YES~!"
"O-Oh, so all you need is a joke? It sounded pretty easy enough." I spoke as he sat down, waiting for my joke like a little kid.
I started to think of one, but it's hard since I have to think of a new one.
I thought harder until I know a good one when I look at the skeleton, good thing it didn't seemed real...I think, but I look at him as I pointed to the skeleton and asked, "Mind if I borrow that?"
"Oh? Charlie? Yes, he does need a playmate!" He spoke as he waved his hand.
He named a fake skeleton, Charlie? Wait...could he actually be...lonely?
I shook my head and walked to the skeleton, holding up his arms like he was a puppet, then spoke in the best guy voice I have, "I know we ran out of money, so I invented a Clown Show when Everyone are Clowns and all they have to serve is Pie!" I let go and gotten angry at it, "And the Chief said?" I hold Charlie's arm, looking like a thumbs-up, "Self Approval!" I let go and growled, "Hands up...Please!" I held the skeleton's arms up, , making him sound scared, "YES MA'M!" I got behind him, grabbing him around his shoulders and threw him over me like in a fight scene.
I'm still a scaredy cat, but I did watch fighting and comedic anime and shows.
He hesitated for a moment, then he started snickering, then chuckling, and then he laugh.
He laughed hard that he fell off his seat, he laughed harder that he rolled around, he laughed even harder that he hugs his stomach, kicking the air, he just started to laugh himself silly.
I stared at him as he did the entire laughing stamina.
I hope he doesn't choke, or just float in the air like in Mary Poppins.
"Uh...Nice laugh?" I giggled nervously as I held out my hand to him when he's finished.
He grabbed it and he picked up his hat as I help him get up, having his hair in front of his face, wheezing, "T-that *Wheeze* W-Was *wheeze* Amazing! Ah-hee-hee-hee!"
"Uh, thanks?" I raised an eyebrow since it was the only thing I thought of, "Can you tell me about the information about this?"
He waved his arm with another crooked grin, "Yes! I'll tell you while we have some tea. Please sit anywhere!"
I looked around the place, seeing no chair or stool, "Uh...where?"
He giggled and push me down on a coffin, gently, "How cute! Right here, silly."
I looked at the black coffin I was sitting on, in a big relief, it's not old and its closed.
I watched him pour hot water in two glass beakers, he added tea bags and sugar in the tea, stirring them with just a metal rod. He place them on a dusty tray and serve it to me.
I picked it up and I saw him grabbing a clay jar, opening it and dug inside there. I tilt my head and saw he pulled out 2 bone shaped cookies.
He smiled and hand me one, "Here you go, Miss. Oh, before you hesitate, they aren't dog biscuits, hee-hee, I'm no dog!"
I slowly took it then I took a small sip of the tea.
It was too sweet, like liquid candies, but it was very warm. When I ate the cookie, it was really good, cinnamon with a mixture of sugar.
I notice as I was finishing my snack, I saw him taking out a crystal ball.
I stared at it and spoke as I look at him, "What's with the ball, Undertaker?"
"Ah, this will help you explain why they come for you, my dear." He smiled as he put it in a bowl, filling it with water.
I tilt my head, asking, "What do you mean?"
"Hee-hee! I actually come for you because I want to warn you about something, but first I want to check if you are the right one." He grinned darkly as he plucked some of my hair.
"Ow! And that is?" I asked, rubbing my head.
"...Your fate..." He whispered to me.
My eyes widen, I couldn't believe my own ears, this time is for reals. I saw him drop a piece of my hair in the water, causing a mist around, turning red. I can tell Undertaker's eyes were widen, then he spoke, "Ooohhh! Madison, my dear, it seems that you are in terrible danger!"
My eyes widen again with my head tilted, "Eh!?"
You'll be killed by a psychopath with sharp teeth and fiery hair..."
He spoke as it now turned violet, "Ah, what have we here? Revived by a dark man? Odd..."
It then turned into a royal blue color, "Oh dear! You're going to be transformed into a toy..."
Finally, it turned black that cause a crack in the crystal ball, "Oh! That didn't happen before...you'll be betrayed and have to fight a scary monster.."
I gasped and stood up, causing the light coffin to move from my force, "T-This is a mistake! That can't be mine!"
"Your hair can't tell lies, miss," He giggled, "But you must be trained by a man who will revive you...Now, will you stop the monster? Can you be trained like a good little puppy?"
My heart was beating rapidly that I wanted to faint, I don't want to die, and I'm too soft to fight anyone...but what if this monster kill my family?
I looked at him and spoke softly, "I will..."
"Excellent," He smiled as he started pushing me to the door, giving me a card, "That is all, thank you for visiting me! Make sure you lock your doors and windows. In case you want to visit me, especially to fit in one of my coffins, here's my card and say these words. Have a nice day!"
I tried breaking free when he was unlocking the door, "W-Wait! Is there more!? I don't want to die!"
"Ah, you'll have to know more, bye-bye!" He smiled as he pushed me out.
"No, wait! How can I tell wha-" I tried to finish, but as I turned,
the store's gone!
Sorry for the long chapter XD
