Need to catch up with Gary and Liz? Well, here it is so far.

by K@zel in the clouds... somewhere... (SOMEBODY GET THIS KID A MAP!)

Liz awoke in complete darkness, in her bedroom. Being parched, she went to fix herself a glass of water to ease her thirst. She stumbled over various objects that had been thrown carelessly on the floor, and finally made it to the door. It happened as she placed her fingers on the cold metal of the doorknob. Something came whizzing through the air and hit her with surprising force on the side of the head. With a sharp cry of pain Liz fell wildly to the floor, clutching her head. "GARY!" cried Liz. "I told you million times, quick hitting me with your stupid slingshot! It is MIDNIGHT, not the time to -" She stopped cold, staring at the thing that had hit her. It lay limply on the floor, glowing slightly. It was a golden necklace.

I am am completely dumbfounded, I have had more fun listening to you guys talk on here than reading the actual story. If you guys can help me understand what is going on I will be glad to try and write some of the story that is if we are still working on the story. We are still working on the story,Right? Tess
--Tess

Yes of course we are still working on the story.
--Marie Lynn

The brilliant glow of the necklace suddenly illuminated the night, showing sparkles. Liz, dumbfounded, picked up the necklace and examined it. Suddenly, something caught her eyes. Peculiar shaped gems flaunted the necklace, sparkling and shining luminously. "Hmm," thought Liz. While thinking what the necklace was, where it came from, a sharp pain pulled at her back. "OW!" Liz cried. Gary, who was sleeping, came running toward Liz. "What's wrong Liz, and what's that in your hand?" GAry asked. Liz didn't hear Gary, for she had fainted.
--Krishna

When Liz awoke she was on some kind of cot, she looked around the room or whatever it was and saw that there was a small fire place that was lighting huge room with only a small pitcher of what looked to be water but Liz didn't want to take her chances. She also saw a single rocking chair next to the fireplace in which Gary was sitting. Liz was about fall back onto the cot when a sparkle caught her eye. It was the necklace the very same necklace that had been the reason she was lying on the cot. Liz started to get up when Gary turn around but the next thing she knew she was lying face down on the hard wooden floor. Gary picked up Liz and carried her over to the cot and set her down. "Glad to see your feeling better" ,Gary said, "Do you mind telling me what happened,you gave me quite the scare." " Oh, Gary stop tring to sound smart." Liz said irratably. " Okay, okay don't bite my head off! Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the cot. " Gary yelled. "Ha ha ha..very funny, Not! Liz yelled back. "You tell me what happened." Liz said. "Well I heard you yell and by the time I got to you had already fainted, the funny was you were sorta glowing. That.....I...WAS... DOING...WHAT?!"Liz interupted "You were glowing."Gary replied. "Anyway,as I was saying that was when I relized that you were still holding the necklace, so I moved it out of the way with my jacket-I wonder why it did that? I would really like to know why it did that. Do you....GARY!...What!...Get back to the story!" Liz yelled. "Okay, well once I moved the necklace you stoped glowing, so I carried you to the cot, You have been asleep for at least two hours. "Gary finished. "Gary can you bring the necklace over here?"Liz said in a slightly less rude tone. Liz relized that the odd shaped stones were in the shape of a celtic symbol she had seen before but couldn't remember the name.
--Tess

For just a second, Gary's eyes flashed a vivid bronze color. his mouth twisted into a wry smile and he brought the necklace up to his to neck to wear it. Liz's breath caught in her throat. "Gary, DON'T!" She snatched the necklace out of his hand, and hurled it, without thinking, into the blazing fire. Gary stood looking perplexed, staring in the fire wistfully. Liz siezed his shoulders and shook them, tearfully saying, "Don't wear it, please! It's gone now, anyway, so you can't. Let's just forget about it, Gary, please...Let's just go back to normal." "What's your problem?" said Gary disgustedly. "It's just a necklace, even if it had been glowing. I'm sure it isn't dangerous." How very wrong he was. The next day Gary felt overwhelmed with the irrisitable temptation to wear the golden necklace. He thought Liz was simply overreacting - what could happen just by wearing jewelry? He waited by the bedroom door that night until her deep breathing told him she was asleep. As he practically flung himself down the hallway to the fireplace, he was certain that the mystical glowing necklace wouldn't have burned in the fire. His suspicions proved correct. He dug through the ash and logs in the fireplace, and finally unearthed the golden necklace. Fingers trembling, he hooked the necklace around his neck. Abruptly, his vision blurred, excruciating pain seared through his body, and he was rigid, unable to move.

Does everybody have writer's block or something? It's been like four days and nobody has posted another paragraph....Well maybe it's all the contest excitement....
--Marie Lynn

Liz heard a thump from the living room. She set down the dish that she was washing, and ran to Gary's bedroom. She saw him lying on the floor, his short, frazzled mahogany hair a reddish color. That's odd, Liz though. Maybe he dyed his hair. As she ran up to him, the second whacked-out thing was that his eyes were copper, not their usual green. He was clutching the necklace. Liz reeled backwards, and just on time, because Gary- the warped Gary- leaped up with superhuman speed, the necklace glowing around his neck. He spoke in a voice that was not his own. "The worlds shall be mine!" Then he spun around and disappeared. It was time to try a door at the mansion.
--the Cheshire Cat

His copper eyes bright as jewels and his pale, colorless lips grinning, Gary reappeared with a blast of light in one of the thousands of halls. He looked delightedly at the millions of doors around him. "GARY!" screamed Liz, as she searched frantically through the halls. Finally she saw him, his hand pressed to the cold metal of a doornkob. He began to turn it. "NO!" Liz leapt at him, sending him to floor. Gary slowly stood, his whole face twitching, blood streaming down from his nose, his eyes still glowing as bright as lanturns - She siezed his arm, but he easily shook her off, grasped the doorknob of a random door, pulled it open, and flashing a grin at his horrified sister, he swept inside, slamming it behind him.
--Marie Lynn

Liz yanked on the doorknob, but Gary had locked it. "NO!" Liz cried, banging on the cursed door with her fists. The only thing to do now was to wait and hope for the best.
--Alexandra

"No,no,no,no.....NO! Oh, god this is bad! Terrible! Worst then either of the two!" Liz shouted. She hoped the house-cleaner didn't hear her. Maybe the house-keeper would think she was insane. 'I'm not the insane one,' she told her self 'Gary is....' but that thought was very hard to comprhend. All she knew was to get that necklace off Gary and distroy it. She yelled about her postition a bit more. "Hello," said a rather derisive vioce. Liz looked around. "Hello?" "Yeah, look down here for once, kid! Use your brain!" Yelled the voice. Liz looked down and there staring back up to her was a blue mouse with his whiskers twitched up in impatience. "Finally!" He bellowed. For a mouse, he could make quite a noise. Without Liz's say-so, the mouse scurried up to her shoulder where he was now perched. "Who are you?" Liz asked the mouse. She found it odd to be talking to a creature that usually was mute. "Allowsberry Silverworth the fourth," The mouse recited in a bored manner. "Kid, listen I know how to get to your brother." "But you're a mouse!" Liz shrieked. "Yeah, I'm a mouse with an awful load of info, and I can share it with you or..... not." The mouse flicked his paw. Allowsberry started to shimmy down Liz to the carpet where he was before. "No, please tell." Liz pleaded. 'I'm pleaded to a MOUSE how low can I go?' "Ah, now that's the ticket!" Allowsberry jumped on Liz. "Now, I know almost everything to know here, but that's nothing here-" "Wait what do you know?" "Listen, kid," The mouse boomed. "I'd rather be somewhere wastin' my time away eating cheese, but I belong to Gateway League and I want the goods in life so I can eat cheese without a threat of gettin' killed, you hear? So now, to save your brother, you gotta go through that door, 'kay?" "I still don't under-" "You wanna rescue your brother or not?!" "Okay, okay," And Liz stepped to a door that, with her knowledge, could've led to her doom.
--Kazel

Heart pounding and an icy feeling of terror crawling up her arm, Liz touched the cold, unwelcoming metal of the doorknob. She suddenly turned to Allowsberry, who was sniffing something on the ground. "Come with me," she said, her voice sounding, to her, very remote and distant. "Please! I can't get Gary alone!" Upon seeing his quizzical look, she added hastily, "I'll give you some cheese." Allowsberry's small beetle-black eyes glittered. "Well now, missy, I might as well. Not most humble mice like myself get to go with a human on her adventure to rescue a crazed brother! It'll add some sparkle to my day, if you know what I mean." Liz nodded mutely, and allowed the mouse to scurry up her arm and perch on her shoulder. Allowsberry clutched at her hair, making her wince. She turned the knob, and stepped inside. There was nothing but blackness, pressing on her from every direction. She closed the door behind her and cautiously started forward. "Maybe it's just a closet," she said hopefully. "Maybe he's hding at the back -" "I don't know - but by the smell of this place it ain't a closet," remarked Allowsberry, scampering around on her shoulder. It was true - it smelled of clay, grass, flowers, snow, and soup all at once. It was a peculiar mixture of scents. Liz became aware that she was walking on some sort of liquid. "Gary?" she called out. There was no reply. Suddenly, the ground, or rather, liquid beneath her feet vanished and she was falling at incredible speed. She screamed as she fell, and her terrified yells echoed around - Abruptly, Liz went sprawling onto hard ground, and as pain seared up her right arm she knew with a sinking heart it was broken. All was silent. "Allowsberry?" she tentatively called out, clutching at her arm. There was no answer. "ALLOWSBERRY!" Still there came no reply. She frantically searched the ground, blindly using her hands to feel around. "ALLOWSBERRY! ALLOWSBERRY!" There came a weak squeak from the mouse. Through the darkness she could see his eyes glittering some ten feet away. "Girl...Liz..." he moaned. "I think - I think I shattered some bones..." Liz took him with a trembling hand and set him carefully on her shoulder, where he curled up in her hair. Liz began to cry. She had nothing except Allowsberry. They were alone in a dark pit with no way out. The necklace was gone, Gary was gone, she was cold and hungry and aching, and it seemed hopeless. But that's when great flames arose around them in a circle.
--Sunnilynn

The Falmes grew high, higher then Liz. "Oh, god, this-this is BAD!" Allowsberry screeched. "Liz! Kid! GO! GO!" "Wait-, what's happening?!" Liz yelled to him. The flames were crowding in on the pair. "Allowsberry?!" "Listen, would you like to LIVE or.... die?" Allowsberry stood up on Liz's shoulder. "I think you wanna live, Kid, these flames aren't ordinary. I once encountered something like this, just once, it's the trap that the Night Serpent puts the people he thinks are going to overpower him." "So, what do you want us to do?" The flames were so close to Liz now that she could allmost tounch them. "Allowsberry? Allowsberry?!" "Okay, okay, Kid, listen," Allowsberry was twisting Liz's hair. He was drawing up all his knowlege of which he knew. "Kid, Liz, there's one place in the fire which can't burn you 'cause the Night Serpent has to do his dramatic slippin' in to eat his trapees." 'Oh, very nice,' Liz thought. 'Getting eatened by a snake.' "You gotta find the place!"
--Kazel

"Yeah, and how? Just walk ino the fire-oh, I die, this isn't the spot?" Allowsberry looked thoughtfull. "Kid, you, you got hair, I got teeth. Your hair aint as important as your life." Liz understood. " I get it!" she exclaimed. They would cut her hair and throw it into different parts of the flame. When it didn't burn, they would go through.
--the Cheshire Cat

Allowsberry started chewing off a very reluctant Liz's hair. She grabbed the first chunk and threw it up by the upper left and it burned immediately. She did the same for upper right and the bottum right until there were only two spots left. The middle and the bottum left. Liz tried the middle first, and the hair burned, just like the others. Liz then put the last chunk of hair into the bottum left to be a 100% sure. The hair didn't burn. Allowsbery and Liz crawled through the bottum left flames and found Gary, half dead, lying on the floor.
--Alexandra

"GARY!" Liz flung herself to him and dragged him out of harm's way, breathing heavily. He was dreadfully scarred, and very pale.
--Marie Lynn

"Oh, NO!" Allowsberry muttered. "NO! NO! NO!" Liz was now craddeling Gary in her arms. She looked up "What?" Allowsberry had read the signs. Sorch marks on the floor, a smell that was cool and reeking at the same time. He knew for sure it was the Night Serpent. Two words dripped from his mouth: "Night....Serpent......" Liz then relized that their were bite marks on Gary's leg. 'NO!' He was bit. Did the Night Serpent of venom in its bite? Liz didn't know if she wanted to find out. "Allowsberry?" She looked for her mouse companion. He just stood there, a bit slouched but with terror filled eyes. Liz traced his eyes. There, balancing and swaying from left to right, was a massive black snake with small yellow eyes. The fire was still buring and outlined the horrid beast even more. "Hello, Child, put down my feast, and I will not eat you," It hissed "Yet."
--Kazel

Liz lunged at the Night Serpent and grabbed it's neck, trying to choke it. It recoiled and swung it head at her, fangs at the ready. Liz ducked, and the serpent's fangs hit the hard wood. Liz yanked the Night Serpent out of the wood, and to her relief the fangs had got stuck in the wood. Liz tied the serpent in a knot and dropped him out the window. Now she had to find an antidote for Gary.
--Alexandra

Liz searched the cupboards, the whole castle, but couldn't find an antidote. Allowsberry watched her fruitless attempts with a big grin on his face until Liz couldn't take it anymore. "Allowsberry!!!! You know the antidote! Plz tell me! Plz!" "OK." Allowsberry said, "The antidote is, a kiss from a fair maiden, not blood-related, mind you." "Great!" Liz exclaimed, "Where am I gonna find one of those!"
--Alexandra

"And then again," Allowberry said, savoring every moment as Liz held on to his very words. "Who ever said you were related to Gary, hmm?" "But of course we're related!" Liz blustered. "We're like twins!" "I was just messin' with you," Allowsberry explained. "With both things, a freakin' kiss ain't gonna wake that boy up, it would make her sick too" "Then what the heck is the antidote?"
--Jusfrongzel

Allowsberry hesitated. "I am not allowed to say," he said, apparently frightened. "If I say, my life will slowly drain away. But if you want to rescue your poor brother...I must do this." He mouthed a single word: "alvocet". His blue fur turned teal, his eyes widened in fear, and he fainted dead away. Liz pressed him to wake up, she shook him, and dangled cheese under his nose, but he remained motionless. "What's an alvocet!" she cried in exasperation to him, though she knew he couldn't hear. "UGH! Why did I ever have to find that necklace?" Speaking of the necklace, she thought to herself, where is it? It wasn't around Gary's neck when I found it.....But that's not important! I have to find out what an alvocet is! She turned to a reliable resource that might be able to give her the answer: The Internet.
--Marie Lynn

No, but his life is slowly draining away (sorry, Allowsberry, maybe Liz can cure you!)....
--Marie Lynn

Liz quickly rushed into her bedroom and pulled out her lap top. She logged on to Google and furiously typed 'alvocet'. It said: "Did you mean: avocet?" Suddenly, the screen disappeared. She tried to turn the computer back on. It was not reasponding. She tried again and agian and finally admitted that the laptop would not turn on. She groaned. 'I have an possessed brother and a dying mouse on my hands.... GREAT!' She thought. "You can't find it on the Internet!" Someone said. Liz looked around. There on her arm was Allowberry. "I thought you were dying!" She shrieked in his ear. "Kid, big ears and yelling ain't the greatest mix," He said. His face darkened. "And yes, I AM dying, slowly, mind you." He said with a twitch of his ears. "But, you wouldn't wake up!" "About that, it was...." He let his lound booming voice go down to a small mouse squeak "your brother." "Wait, what?!?" Liz shouted. "Big ears, big ears!" Allowsberry remined her. His voice back at his usually volume. "Kid, when I die, I don't wanna go out with no hearin', you know what I'm sayin'? So Gary, he woke up, still possesed and he TOUCHED me." "He touched you?" "Yes, he must have magical powers he never had!" Allowsberry said. "He got up and left! I couldn't track him since I was out. So, begins another adventure!" "Yeah... adventure...." Liz muttered. What had happened in the hours since? 'Uh... I got trapped in a ring of fire... almost got eaten by a snake... anything else I forgot? Oh yeah, met a blue, obnoxious, dying, talking mouse. That sums it up.' Allowsberry had jumped to the door. "Well, whach'ya waiting for?"
--Jusfrongzel

Liz followed the blue mouse to a wooden door. "Where are we going?" She asked. "I can't tell you," Allowsberry said. "Open it, someone neglected giving me height and thumbs." Liz obeyed and opened it. Once agian, it was dark but Allowsberry told her to go on. So she did with the blue mouse by her side.
--Jusfrongzel

the world swirled around them, and they found themselves in a burnt town. There was snow covering the ground, and tounges of flame licked the huts and trees. Allowsberry stumbled a bit, growing obviously weaker. " He is in this door, if you dare," he said. Liz stepped into the doorway, taking note of the town. She knew she would see it again. She stepped in, allowsbery besides her. The world swirled again.
--the Cheshire Cat

"WHAT HOKUM!" Liz screeched. They were at a GIANT carnival, complete with a ferris wheel and other rides. Allowsberry shrugged. "Kid, sorry to say, but the Night Serpent was just a pawn. The one you need to worry about is... the Shadow Baneful." "WHAT DOES THAT TELL ME ABOUT THIS FAIR?!" she continued too screech, seemingly unaware of the fact that Allowsberry was dying. He sighed. "The Shadow... made Gary a small child again. He acted as if the Night Serpent had teamed up with us too get the alvocet, which gives the Shadow his power. He convinced Gary he was the good guy here. He let him create his own world- AFTER he transformed him into a 3-year-old. He created this. I'm going back too my own world to die with my family. If you get Dragon tears, dig me up." Allowsberry turned and went back too the tunnel. "Oh," he said, having forgotten something. "Anything here can kill you." Then he left.
--the Cheshire Cat

"ALLOWSBERRY?!?" Liz cried. She followed the blue mouse into the tunnel. "What, what?" The blue mouse said. "I really, need you" The blue mouse grinned. "You are sharp, you are, see I don't REALLY have a family-" "I need help, please, wait what about your family?" Allowsberry shrugged and then smiled in a twisted and dark way. "They're dead," He said "As I will be too." Liz forgot and whiped a tear from her eye. "Pity for me ain't doin' me some help, ya know. They're ALL dead, part of the reason I joined the Gate Way league, so they didn't die in vain. Kid, you understand, Gate Way mansion is dying and crumblin' from the inside out. Each of them door, all of 'em leads to some time or place."
--Jusfrongzel

Liz rolled her eyes. "Naw, they lead to a different time and place," she said. "But what's the gateway league? And how did your family die? And what do you mean crumbling from the inside out?"
--the Cheshire Cat

(Liz JUST moved into the mansion, Chessy)
--Jusfrongzel

(Liz JUST got swept away into another world, she would know by now!)
--the Cheshire Cat

Enter the next paragraph... "I... I .... I..." It was interesting to Liz. "Ummmmm..............," Liz said. "Anyway..." "NO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
--Annie

(Liz might've JUST got swept into another world, but would you really guess it all the doors leed to another time or place, and that was SO out of character)
--Kazel

(Yeah, she's only been too about 5 different worlds by now, all through the mansion, all through a door. And how was I supposed too know she just moved in? Besides, who are you to decide exactly what Liz's character is? Her character is for everyone to work on and add too, and I think she would be a bit annoyed at the moment and want to go home and be normal.)
--the Cheshire Cat

(Um, I really haven't any idea of what's going on, but I'll try to add on) Allowsberry headed out of the tunnel and into the bright lights of the fair. "Listen, kid," he said simply. "As I said before, ANYTHING HERE CAN KILL YOU. This whole place is deadly to you. You'd be better off to let Gary alone and mind your own business." "He's my brother!" Liz said furiously. "Brother or not, this whole thing is creeping me out, and you'd do best just to leave him," said Allowsberry. "That was just my opinion." "I wanna find Gary!" Liz cried. "Of course!" Allowsberry groaned. "Kids these days always pick the most dangerous options. Nobody values the opinion of a mouse."
--Marie Lynn

Liz rolled her eyes and walked ahead of Allowsberry. She wasn't entirely sure that having him along as help was worth all the snide remarks. "If you're gonna act like this until we find Gary, Mr. Glass-is-half-empty, then I don't want your help." She sniffled dramatically and turned away from him. Allowsberry sighed. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? It's just that I tend to get a little cranky being faced with...well you know... the prospect of certain death." Now it was Liz's turn to feel bad. In her need to find her brother, she had totally forgotten about Allowsberry's current situation. "I'm sorry, too. I've been really selfish." Liz turned and faced Allowsberry, concerned by the white pallor of his normally blue cheeks. Allowsberry smiled weakly. "No worries. Now how about we find that wayward brother of yours, huh?"
--Nickie

"Ahhhh," screamed Liz as she woke up. "Wow, it was just all a dream." Liz turned to her left on her back and jumped off the bed. Heading downstairs she heard a squeak and a tiny voice say,"What are you doing! Get off my tail you big oaf." Looking down Liz saw a blue talking mouse. "Ahhhhhh," screamed Liz. "Ahhhh," screemed the mouse. "Ahhhhh!," scremed Liz. "Look kid we could do this all day,"said the annoyed little blueberry of a mouse. Liz sighed. "Alright which door did you come from did Gary open that door?" "Well, I did come from a door but i can asure you your brother did not open it." "Well then who did?"pondered Liz. "My master." "And that would be.....?" "Oh did you not know... well your childhood playmate and kiddie boyfriend Dean?" "What Dean is here?!!!!" Garry had just woke up and ran downstairs to go to the bathroom when he saw some tall brown haired muscle guy standing outside the bathroom door admiring the pictures hung up. He turned to Gary and smiled. "Ah, the little guy is up before dawn." They guy had a deep voice. "Oh my god! Dean? Is that you?" "You better believe it man." Hearing tha shocked voice of Gary Liz came running into the room. "Hey Liz!" Liz almost fainted at the sight of the handsome bloke that stood before her. And to think he used to be the chubby little prince that Liz called her so called loser bestfriend! "Well,....Dean you have certainly grown up. how is your kingdom." "Well Princess elizabeth i would say it isn't my castle quite yet. My father is still currently at the throne and stlill in control. "Well Dean you shall know you are talking like you are british!" "Righty then, sorry i am still working uot the kinks of my fancy royal prince accent." Dean's cheeks had turned a little red. Gary was watching them talk turning his head to look who was talking back and forth back and forth and so on til he said, "Aww how cute." Liz and Dean nervously laughed while Liz elbowed Gary in the stomach while he was standing behind her. "So Dean how is your dimension? How is Artemis and Apollo?" (his twin sisters) "Well they are great they are both married Artemis to Blake and Apollo to Gideon. in the dimensions solar and lunar because you know our mother gave them those necklaces. They were standing in the hallway when a gust of wind blew through Liz's hair. A blur of red came through the air a short scream from liz and a horrible screech and gaggle from something in the room and a flashy blur of blur. When everything settled. Gary was standing in the same place he had been looking stupid while Dean was holding Liz in his arms out of breath and sword in place. On the floor near his feet was a dead graveling. "Nasty little buggers," he said with a short chuckle,"forgot to lock the door to the greentree dimension! Then something flew through the air it was a sort of disk with someone flying on it. HaHaHa Princes and Princesses. We inform you that Argolda Holawatt would like to have the honor to have you accompany him in the nectarfly dimension...right away. They man with a gray beard hand them each a scroll and flew away in a door that opened for him leaving behind a smoke trail. The 20 year olds looked at eachother then down at the scrolls.
--Kimberly

That reminds me of Kim and Dean from the old Gary and Liz....
--Marie Lynn

Liz jumps awake again, with Allowsberry slapping her cheek. "Kid! I'm here DIEING, and you just fall asleep in the middle of a VERY dangerous world?!"
--the Cheshire Cat

"Wha' wha' wha'?" Liz mummbled. She felt warm and her eye lids ached. She then relized where she was. In that strange Gary-land dark theme-park world. She was lying down and on her stomauch was that obnioxious blue mouse looking at her with his eyes. "I got a bit of time left," He said quickly. "You gotta find you're brother before it's too late!" He scammpered up on her shoulders. "That way!" Allowsberry shouted and pointed a small blue paw to her right. "Go, we might find him, in that tent."
--Kazel

Heading towards the tent, Liz tripped on a stump sticking out of the ground. It was no ordinary stump. It was moving slithering slowly. Liz followeed it with her eyes in awe. It lead over to an evil looking clown, smiling as the long goo formed an arm, wrist, hand and then fingers. " He leaned close to them and swallowed them whole. Liz awoke to be in a strange dark place. It was creepy looking. Her and Allowsberry were in a strange room. They were sorounded by darkness except for a faint gleaming green ligh that came from behind the window curtain. Liz picked herself up from the floor and headed towards the light. To be safe Liz picked up a chair and broke off one of the legs holding it in attack mode. Allowsberry being so small, climbed onto Liz's should and peeled a tiny splinter from the chair leg and held it in a sword manner. Liz took 3 steps forward and took a deep breath reached out and ripped the curtain away. She almost attacked when she relized what it was. it was a wolf puppy! "What the..? Liz said. The puppy looked at her with his bright green eyes. That was where the light was comin from it was coming from the wolf's eyes. "That is so strange. Allowsberry why is his eyes like that?" "Well if i am correct that is no ordinary wolf. Check his back." "But why?" Liz asked. "Just do it," said Allowsberry inpatiently. Liz kneeled down and looked closely at the puppy's back. There were two tiny black wings on the wolf's backside. "Wow, what kind of animal is this Allowsberry? "Well it is a very rare species call The Sakura Hell. They were bred as hell hounds." "What?!" They heard footsteps behind them and quickly turned around to see a bigger version of the wolf puppy with it's wings extended out to twice the size of it's body. Pitch black. It bent one leg and kneeled before Liz. "Princess Elizabeth, it is my honor to help you find your brother." In two hours my child will be strong enough to fight off the spartan army with one paw tied behind it's back." "It spoke!" whispered Liz to Allowsberry. Liz turned around and looked into the wolf's eyes.....
--Kimberly

Suddenly, a harsh voice spoke out. "NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO FLEE." The two wolves froze, and bounded away. "That was strange," said Liz. "Now, what about Gary???" "I told ya, he's probably in that tent," said Allowsberry. Liz reluctantly entered the tent, his words of 'anything here can kill you' ringing in her head. A game that involved balloons and prizes of stuffed animals stood right in the middle, but there was nobody running it. Gary was nowhere to be seen. Somehow the whole tent seemed slightly ominous and eerie. "Hello?" Liz tentatively called. "Gary? Gary? Gar -" Allowsberry whispered, "Don't make too much noise, or something will hear you." Liz was about to ask what he meant she bumped painfully into the balloon game and went sprawling on the ground. "Ouch!" she cried loudly. Suddenly, as if she had flipped on a switch, the dark stand was ablaze with bright lights, and a pale-faced man with hair as silvery white as moonlight and shadowy eyes materialized behind the counter and smiled innocently at her. "Hello, young miss," he said warmly. His voice was sweet and harmless, yet rich with a deep evil. "Would you like to have a try at this game?" Liz stood slowly to her feet, mesmerized by his sweet, sugary smile. "It only costs two tickets," the man continued. She noticed that his shadowed eyes were growing darker.... Liz broke free of the spell and stumbled backward, her heart in her mouth. He stepped swiftly out of the stall and advanced on her. "No, no, NO!" she gasped. It was becoming more difficult to breathe every second. She turned to flee away from the man - but he placed a hand on her shoulder. Allowsberry scampered up his arm and bite down as fiercely as he cold on the man's shoulder, but the man didn't flinch or show any signs of pain. Liz's breath was gone - she fell to the floor, the lights from the stall blinding her - and the cold fingers of the man clenched her shoulder painfully. Her eyes closed, and a terrible icy coldness consumed her body.
--Marie Lynn

"Yes, yes, bring her in," A cold voice muttered darkly. There was a dark room and a bit of mist weaved through men's legs. A few silliouted figures were carrying another person on a strecher. "Set her down," The muttering voice commaned the men. The men fumbled and set down the strecher on a table. The commander step to the table on which the person lay and snapped his fingures. A flame shot up; cold and un-warming. He looked down on the person on the table who was stirring slightly. Her eyes snapped open and looked into those dark amber eyes. "GARY!" Liz screamed. She looked at her brother happily, knowing that all her-their problems would be solved soon and so she would return to her own time she smiled brightly at him. It soon was turned into a frown really fast. Gary was stagging around the table and stared at Liz. "Sister, you will not live again. "What?" Liz asked. Gary looked at her and his horrible amber eyes attached into hers. "You will not live again." "Gary, what's wrong? What are you telling me?" "YOU SHALL NOT LIVE AGAIN! YOU WILL DIE!" He thundered. A dark twisted smile etched his face. "Like your friend." One of the men who placed Liz on the table stepped into Gary's light and held up a small blue mouse by the paw. Allowsberry. He lifted his head, his eyes misted and mouthed one last word: "Alvocet." Death shook him, and he was still. Allowsberry had died.
