The children looked at each other and grinned.Surrounding them were
the different dolls they had gathered over the years."Melody would
you like to count us down?"Arthur asked with a large smile."Yep.Uh
whats the first number?"Arthur smiled."Ten."He answers holding out
his hands to
her."Alright.Ten...nine...eight...s..sev..seven...six...five...four...three...t..tw..two...one!"She
counts out using his hands to help."Very good Melody."He praised
before hitting a button that lead to the intercom system."It has
just hit ten pm ladies and gentlemen.I would suggest getting to a
safe room for the hunt has STARTED!"He says cuing the dolls
and Melody to run out of the throne room."If we come across you and
you are not in a safe room you are free game."With that he release
the intercom system and bolts out of the room as well,excited for
the hunt.
Lise and Troye heard the announcement and quickly bolted into the
safe room, which was just a few feet away. They both sighed in
relief. They put everything they had grabbed on Troye's bunk and
sighed. "Here we go." Lise mumbled.
Arthur laughed."You do..we'll give you a five minute head start
grandpa.After all we are not the only ones hunting tonight."He
muses.Just as he says that a doll runs by giggling like mad.
Melody nods and starts to go around the area deciding not to go
through the secret passage.Arthur just shakes his head and goes the
same way Ricky went.
Melody was running after the skeletal figure with a large grin on
her face."Why don't you slow down Mister Ricky so we can play!"She
sing songs.Her voice echos within the castle giving it a disturbing
sound.Arthur shakes his head at Melody as he uses the passages to
get ahead of Ricky.
The skeleton stopped and smiled. Stepping into the light Leonidas
smiled, "Oops. Wrong one. One of thirty five other demons maybe
the real Ricky. Recall." With that he dissolved.
"That's fine uncle Leo..we'll figure it out.We always do."Melody
muses with a giggle as she runs past where Leo disappeared.
Arthur dropped down in front of another demon."Ah your not the real
one are you?Oh well all is fair in love and war."He muses while his
eyes light up.He snaps his fingers and lets his magic work for a
few seconds before snapping again."Go on."He muses before running
off again.
Melody waited for Schrödinger to pass before stepping out of the
shadows and giving him a hug."Sorry Uncle Schrödinger but I always
gotta hug you when I see you.Your so adorable."She says with a
squeal.She then let him go and ran off."Love you Uncle
Schrödinger!"She yells over her shoulder.
Arthur snaps his neck and drops onto of Lemran."Hiya Uncle Lemran
you don't happen to know where grandpa is do you?"He purrs out.
"There is some in the kitchen!"Melody calls from down the hall with
a laugh.
"Well that was uninformative.Time to find Uncle Lemrus."Arthur
muses."Maybe mess around with his mind for a bit."He smirked and
slowly walked down the hall with a yawn.
Arthur let out a growl as his eyes turned a brighter red."Come out,
come out and play!"He sing songs."It's no fun if you hide!All I
want to do is have a little bit of fun and RIP YOUR MIND
APART!"
Melody took the tuna from Schrödinger and looked through the
drawers for the can opener.Once she finds it she opens the can and
places it in front of Schrödinger."Here you go Uncle
Schrödinger."She looks up at Arthur's call."Uh oh.Big brother is
getting mad."
Schrödinger looked up licking the tuna out his whiskers, "It is
Lemrus." Biting the tin he began running carrying it to a safe
room, "Arfur so scary." Pushing open the door with his paw he
entered and closed the door behind him.
Melody let out a sigh."Try being his sister."She mumbles to the
close door before taking off in search of another demon that may
tell her where Ricky was.
Arthur hummed as he watched Schrödinger enter the room."Welp there
goes me asking the cat."He mutters before taking off in the
direction opposite of Melody.
