' Boom"
ralph woke up but found himself in a new room or more precisely a cupboard this time he didn't freak out he has seen a lot of weird things over the period of time even him couldn't tell of, but what surprised him was what woke him up.
when he looked out the cupboard he saw a small red ball floating around dangling left and right with nothing holding it up he walks out of the cupboard slowly but as he moves the ball dropped to the ground as he heard little footsteps leading his direction and finally up of the cupboard,
he looked up and found a creature which looked like a mix between a dog and a cat staring at him the creature looked pretty weird
" uhh it's a kitty, misshevious little thing ". Ralph said as he stretched his hands to pick up the creature.
" ' how did you get in there ,
arghh….
the cat jumped on him in a menacing way as he writhes back in an escape but the cat clings to him hard he struggles as the cat crawls over his body
," argh , finally he caught it on his grip and threw it away,
'. roar" the poor looking kitty roared, it scratched the ground as it perched looking at Ralph intimidatingly, and bam " the cat was there no More, it somehow vanished from sight more convincing than a chameleon
' bang ,bang ,bang"
there were noises from the shelves to other things in the room then finally to the chandelier on the ceiling but this was more trouble for Ralph as the cat appeared mid air pouncing on him this time there was no space for him to think he fell on the floor as the vicious cat crawled over his body leaving scratch marks all over his body he rushes back kicking open a door on his back.
without hesitation he ran in and just immediately the cat was gone. he stood up and saw the door he just walked in through get closed slowly, but no one was there pushing it. he had no option but to go forward,
he walked for about 2 minutes yet found no one but several door through a narrow passage
" what is this place ' he soon noticed he was now in the same position he started he thought about it but finally decided, he walked into one of the rooms, when he walked in he was given a shock ' everything on that room looked the same as the first one he walked in where he found a movie playing and his favorite desert on a table but now there was no Tv neither was there desert for him to eat.
He walked around the room observing the room till he confirmed that for sure this was the room he walked in before,
" this is where the tv was , and where's the table with the cake ? ".
when he walked to the rog where the tv was it was plain and empty, he looked forward and found that at the entrance of the room where there was supposed to be a door , now it was just a brick was with words derived from ancient language, he walked up to the wall to confirm, and it was true there was no door but when he looked to his left there was a shelf which was not there when he first visited that room, on the shelf there were action figures sized toys of humans depicting weird postures , like them trying to run away from something or them trying to block something with their hands,
" Who's that ?" Ralph turned around when he heard footsteps getting close to him, when he saw who it was he was freaked out it was not the witch but a girl a bit taller than he was. She was wearing a black jacket, a pair of gloves and goggles. When she saw him she looked quite annoyed but said nothing. She took off her glasses, turned left and walked away like she didn't see him.
" oh my god, you scared me " that was the only thing he could say , he was more scared than he made it look, he stood up to walk after her , from a scary witch to a wierd carmelion cat_ dog and a changing house this was at least the most normal person he's seen since, he wasn't going to let her go.
she stood before a hand wash, took off her coat, took a glass of water and started drinking,
" hey you're a kid too." Ralph asked out of curiosity
"and you're a genius?" she answered him with a rhetoric question
" em, my name is Ralph. what's your's " Ralph said.
she glared at him " good you're gonna be chatty, my name is asmien " she answered as she walked toward a counter
" are you a prisoner here too" Ralph asked out of curiosity, this was the first question that popped into his head when he first saw her.
" no I'm on vacation here * ,. she glared at him, " okay. foods here we've only got peanut butter. get used to it,. anything on this cabinet is off limits don't think natacha won't notice. she said while pointing at a cabinet, natacha won't even miss a piece of popcorn lomar tells her everything". , at that moment there was a rustling noise from the left corner of the room and there was a meow noise from the same place,
. " come out you evil skinbag !!"she yelled
" is that the little invisible cat" Ralph asked .
" well you say invisible cat I say natacha's evil spy beast "
" and natacha is ?" Ralph asked feeling absurdly confused
" keep up, natacha is the witch. Lomar is that evil ghost cat that follows you around all day popping out of nowhere, one time. he rattled me over a stinky cup of noodles. I hat that cat, '.
she moved around the room picking up falling stuff and cleaning up the room "' don't just stand there help me clean this up before natacha gets home ."
Ralph bent down to join in with the cleaning whilst he asked " where's she '.
" I don't know where she is or what she does but she can go wherever she wants, talk about the ultimate pass pore , now common we both have lot of work to do"
" ultimate pass pore ?"
" the apartment travels around the world luring kids in." She said
" really?, well I'm from newyork Brooklyn" Ralph replied really surprised
" I'm from Washington, Washington DC or I did before,. I wonder if we're still in Brooklyn"
" the apartment moves ?" Ralph asked completely surprised.
" when it needs fresh meat ' she noticed Ralph was really confused about this part ,. " not literally cheese , guess you write scary stories"
" not anymore' I don't write anymore"
" well you better start writing" asmien said as she picks up a really strange looking key and opens up a door with it
"tadha" she walks in and call out for Ralph to follow behind they went through a passage and came to a library filled with books on every shelve
" wow , awesome, wow this can't be ' Ralph was speechless cause this actually weighed several times the biggest library on the world it held tens of thousands of books "
" well there are two things the apartment can do , one it lures suckers like us in and it has room to hold, these are scary stories written by natacha's story teller over the years"
" where are the writers". Ralph asked.
asmien looked really depressed but quickly tried to hide it " well don't ask me stupid questions"
Ralph noticed her bahaviour but didn't mind not that he wasn't going ask again he just thought he'll do that later. " wow so many stories , so beautiful"
" but I thought you weren't into that anymore"
" em ' em ' I'm not it's my friend" Ralph tried to hide his passion for the books
" oh it's your friend"
" yes, he'd like all this stories but me, nah. he's like ' he's really lame "
" yeah he sounds really lame ,. em so she makes me read her a stupid scary story every night but she says everything in here has already been read
Ralph looked upward with eyes glaring at the endless shelves ranged with books if these had already been read, how many thousands of years would they have taken to be read , but one question that popped on his head was why was the witch still so young. " all of them?"
" yes , good thing you're a story teller she'll need you, so get to work, you heard her she wants a scary story tonight, every day write as many stories as you can "
"but I don't write scary. ,. "
" cut the crap, I heard you last night talking about you night book thing,"
ralph was caught on his little lying game now
, " oh those I'm over it now"
" well you better get over getting over it and crack out some new stories cause if you don't ". Ralph didn't allow her finish this time he could guess what she wanted to say now ,
" yeah I know she'll kill me "
" you'll be lucky if she kills you,. this is your life now focus on being useful to natacha , you wanna live.. write scary stories" she turned around this time and walked out as if she was in a hurry,
" I'm not gonna write any stories cause I'm gonna leave this place ".
" you're gonna die if you try that". bang she closed the big door behind her.
