Chapter 67: The One Who Stalks in the Darkness

Chapter 67: The One Who Stalks in the Darkness

Zeth and Sasha continue in the underground area of the Mansion. They enter a 12-foot-wide hallway with decorations and furniture in it. There are two doors on each side of the hallway leading to different rooms as well as a door at the end of the hallway.

Zeth: It looks like we have to choose a door.

Sasha: Might as well go through the door at the end of the hallway.

As they walk to the door at the end of the hallway, a shadowy figure quickly hides behind furniture, stalking them.

Zeth and Sasha check the door.

Zeth: It’s locked.

Sasha: Why not just destroy it?

Zeth: The whole mansion has magic properties. It would regenerate in a second. Watch.

Zeth shoots the door with a weak star shine blast and the hole in the door regenerates instantly.

Zeth: That’s why. It’s not worth wasting the magic energy it would take to permanently destroy it.

Sasha: Then I assume one of the four rooms this hallway is connected to has the key.

Zeth: Probably.

They enter one of the side rooms. They don’t notice the shadowy figure stalking them.

The room they enter is medium-sized and square-shaped.

Zeth: Hopefully it’s in here.

They search every inch of the room and eventually find a safe.

Sasha: Maybe it’s in here.

Zeth: It could also be a trap, so don’t stand in front of it as it’s opened.

They step to the side and then open it. A smiling clown doll falls out of it.

Sasha: This certainly is not a key.

Zeth: Damn Daykona. She is trolling us with this garbage.

As they leave the room, the clown doll’s eyes blink, and it frowns.

They go into a different room. After searching the room, they find another safe. They step to the side and open it. A magical flamethrower shoots fire out.

Zeth: Shit! Close it!

Sasha closes the safe.

Sasha: That fire would have left nasty burns.

Zeth: No kidding. Let’s get out of here and check another room.

They check the third room and once again find a safe in it. They step aside and open it. The room becomes completely pitch black as a result.

Zeth: Damn it! I can’t see! Sasha, don’t move!

Sasha does not reply.

Zeth: Sasha? Sasha!??

Zeth closes the safe and the room lights back up again. Sasha is not there.

Zeth: Damn it! Sasha!! Where is she!?

The door to the room slams open. In comes the clown doll which was only a foot tall before but is now 6 feet tall. It has a deranged face and is making deranged sounds.

Zeth: The clown doll? Oh no… Oh shit…

Narrator: Sasha has gone missing and now Zeth is faced with the monstrous clown doll!
