Here you go! Chapter 4 is finally here! Enjoy!
PREVIOUSLY IN THIS FANFIC...
Anais took steps back again, and tried to peer at what she had bumped into.
She screamed, seeing a weird figure in front of her, with unnatural glowing white eyes.
The figure screamed as well, and fell down onto the floor.
Anais then pointed her flashlight at the figure, with worry, yet a bit of anger on her face.
"Who are you and what did you do to my brothers?!"
The figure did not respond, and proceeded to back away from her.
"Answer me!"
Anais continued to point with her flashlight, and now had one foot on the figure.
"Where. Is. My-"
She stopped, and pointed her flashlight at the figure's face, and stepped back.
"Wait... Gumball?... Darwin?..."
Anais looked at the two, confused, and quite frightened, as she took in their appearance.
The figure mostly resembled Gumball, and still had most of his characteristics.
Half of the right side of the head was his color, while the other side was Darwin's.
Along with that, the ears were now orange, and the tip of the tail as well, which were both hand sewn together.
Some of Darwin's mouth was there too, along with the shiny light orange spot that anyone would normally find on him.
The right arm also belonged to him, which had been sewn on to the body as well, along with his left leg too.
And finally, their eyes were now an unnatural white, with no pupils at all.
Reluctantly, Anais put her hand out, as she felt the stitches that went down the head.
"Did.. Did that crazy guy do this to you?..."
The two nodded, with fear and sorrow on their face.
"You guys can still talk.. Right?"
Anais withdrew her hand, as she noticed red cuts all over their body.
"...Yeah..."
The flashlight in her hand began to flicker, signaling the batteries were dying.
"Looks like the batteries are almost dying-"
Before Anais could finish, they heard banging coming from the outside.
"..What's that?.."
Anais looked over at the dark hallway, before facing them again.
"Well.. Mom called the police since you guys were gone for awhile.. So.. They're trying to break the door down I think?"
In alarm, Gumball/Darwin quickly stepped back into the darkness.
"Hold on, I'm sure we can figure something out.." Anais said, as she tried to reassure them to come back out.
"Anais we can't just walk out like everything's ok.. They might try to kill us.." Gumball said, worried.
"But we can't just stay here. Don't worry, I got this."
They flinched, as the door banging began to get louder, until they heard a thud.
Anais faced them again, as she began to fix the flashlight the best she could.
"I'll be back. Just.. Stay hidden for now, ok?"
Gumball/Darwin nodded and quietly hid behind a shelf.
Anais went down the hallway, the flashlight lighting the way.
"Gilson you better be in here!" One of the cops shouted.
With worry now, Anais continued, and finally arrived where the police were.
"Hey what are you doing in here?" The second cop asked, with a little bit of anger in his voice.
"The backdoor was open." She replied, with a bit of annoyance in her tone.
"Step aside kid, we got this." The cop pushed her aside, and began to continue on.
"Sir I think I found something!" A voice called from down the hallway.
Oh no...
"We're coming!" The other cop shouted, as they ran down the path.
"Wait no!"
Anais ran down the hallway, with worry and fear on her face.
Don't be them don't be them..
She finally caught up to them, and worry overtook her.
They had found them.
Gumball/Darwin cowered in the corner of the room, while the officers looked at them with shock and confusion on their face.
Anais quickly went in front of them, with her arms spread out, which dropped the flashlight.
"Kid what on Earth are you doing?" The cop gave her an annoyed glare.
"Anais?"
She looked over to see Nicole standing there, with her fist up ready to punch any enemy.
"Please sweetheart let the police do their job.." She said, trying not to sound harsh.
"Mom wait, You don't understand!"
Anais grabbed Gumball/Darwin's arm and pulled them out from the corner.
"It's them.."
Nicole gasped, realizing Anais was right.
The officers stood there, not knowing what to do or say.
"Oh my gosh..." Nicole went closer, as she looked at them with some shock on her face.
One of the cops looked at the fallen over shelf, and noticed the crazy man's arm sticking out.
"Sir, The shelf killed the man." He reported.
The cops gathered around the arm, and examined it closely.
"Yep, This man is dead."
Nicole sat on her knees, with sorrow now on her face.
"Is... It really you?..."
They quietly nodded, as they looked down at the floor.
Nicole went closer and hugged them, tears now beginning to come down.
"I'm so sorry..."
Anais watched, with sadness on her face as well.
"I'll... I'll try to fix this... I promise..."
"Come on.." The cop said, trying not to interrupt rudely. "Let's get out of here.."
Nicole got up, and they all quietly left the building.
Onlookers that were outside at the time, watched as Gumball/Darwin got into the squad car, still a little worried and saddened by the event.
As they sat in the back, Anais put her hand on theirs, with a little hope on her face.
"Don't worry.. We'll get through this.."
They gave her a slight smile, before facing the window, watching the houses and cars fly by.
Nothing would be the same again.

And there is good ol' chapter 4! I hoped you enjoyed this latest chapter and stay tuned for more!
Also, the question/review I got that I mentioned last chapter WILL BE ANSWERED SOON. Just wait.
Anyway see you in the next chapter!
INFO
-The crazy, creepy old man, or Gregory Gilson, is now dead. The shelf fell onto him in chapter 3.
-Gumball and Darwin are now consolidated together, and are now going to be most known in this story as Gumball/Darwin, and soon to be called Darball. (Don't judge me.)
-Now that they are consolidated, Gumball and Darwin (or Gumball/Darwin) can now hear each other's thoughts. They can still speak separately, but their voices are now semi-distorted and kind of sort of demonic (I SAID SORT OF), kind of like Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, except not as outdoor voice loud.
END OF INFO.
CHAPTER 5: COMING SOON.
