Chereads / The Puppets Of Hell / Chapter 5 - Celebration Game!

Chapter 5 - Celebration Game!

The puppets were enjoying their meal as they seen a disco ball appear with a dance floor. Echo bumps at Lou and points it out, "Did you guys see that? What the hell is this? A party?" Sky glances over and glares as he says softly, "I don't like this and I have feeling something is going to go wrong. If we don't dance we could get killed or something." Cassie sighs as she watches what's going on and can't wait for this. Max was confused and looks at the others. He didn't want to dance, he wanted to go to bed but this must be a celebration but for what. It was none of their birthdays or a holiday. Although they never celebrated a holiday since they never knew what they were. Ren was just as confused as the others but it didn't bother. They just watch everything get set up around them and wait for Spook to appear and give them a few encouraging words for their new challenge or something like that. All of a sudden there was Spook on a stage holding a mic and the two mini goblins he has, were standing on each side of him acting like mimes. Spook chuckles as he speaks, "Hello, my dear kitties. How about a festival to celebrate y'all accomplishments for being such good kitties. We have music, a show and of course, snacks from Irro and Ivory. Why don't we start with a dance." He laughs evilly looking at them with a twisted grin.

As he laughs, music starts and the six of them are now all standing in the middle as dancefloors appears but they were the light pattern. Sky looks up as he seen Irro and Ivory standing by speakers turning the music up a bit. Spook smiles as he says, "Why not have a dance partner. It'll be fun." Lou and Echo were paired as so was Max and Cassie. As they were paired Ren and Sky were pushed to the side and seen spikes appeared on the pattern dancefloors. Sky glares as he seen middle dancefloor was being raised up. Cassie held on to Max as Echo and Lou were holding on to them not falling. Sky screams, "Why are you doing this? This isn't a party it's a another death trap game. We'll have to save them if we want to live." Spook laughs as he hears that and says in a deep monster voice, "You think it's a game. That's cute! Sky, my dear boy. Nothing will happen, the spikes are to protect you and Ren. The others have to find a safer way down." He laughs more as Irro and Ivory laugh along but in high pitched. Ren looks at Sky and explains quietly, "You need to find a way to those secrets. I'll find a way outta this hell so we can save our siblings. Remember what we said before he appeared. Secrets. Way out. New home." Sky nods as he listens to Ren and looks up as he seen his other siblings in danger. He looks at Ren and says softly, "once y'all find a place, yell our code word and I'll come running." Ren nods as he waves to Sky to go and let him find a way to help the other down. He yells at Lou, Echo, Cassie and Max, "I'll get you guys down. Don't worry!" Cassie looks over and yells, "What about Sky?" Ren yells back, "Don't worry he'll be helping out!" Ren does a signal and Sky waves at his siblings as he walks backwards towards a door.

Spook looks over as he watches Ren and looks around for Sky. He whispers to Irro and Ivory, saying, "Find Sky and bring him to me." They say in high pitch voices, "Find Sky! Find Sky!" The five puppets who hear that, get a bad feeling Sky won't make it but they know them too well. They all discussed about finding secrets, a new home and getting out of this hell. As they were finding a way down, Sky finds a hallway towards to doors. He looks behind him hearing Irro and Ivory. He smirks and starts running towards a door and would open it but run towards another room. He ducks down and finds a vent but waits for them to pass by so he can crawl in.

Irro and Ivory shape shifts to a three headed snake and slither around. They were trying to find his scent and bring him back to Spook. Sky seen the snake shadow as he crawls into the vents and gets further away from them. He felt he was getting closer and would break the vent on the other side once he found another room. While he was enjoying a chase Ren and the others had a problem. They noticed the spikes were gone but there was slime like liquid around the dancefloors. Ren makes a face and climbs up wall and yells as he was kinda close to them, "One of you need to jump so I can catch you!" Lou looks at him, "Are you crazy Ren!? You're standing on a small platform!" Ren nods as he says, "Lou, I'm serious! Have one of the girls jump first or you and Max. C'mon!" Lou nods and looks at Echo and Cassie, "One of you go first." Ren yells, "Trust me! I'll catch you!" Echo nods and does a little run as she jumps towards Ren. Ren open his arms and catches her first. He smiles and says softly, "Carefully climb down." Echo nods as she lets go of him and climbs down. Ren looks up, "Who's next?!" Cassie was too scared to go next so Max goes and jumps to Ren. Ren catches him and chuckles, "Be careful next time." Max nods as he lets go of him and climbs down and stand by Echo. Lou sighs and says to Cassie, "C'mon, he won't drop you. He wants to help." Cassie nods and just runs then jumps to Ren. Ren catches her and smiles. She smiles and lets go of him as she seen Lou start to jump to Ren. Ren catches him and they all climb down and stand by Echo and Max.

Spook gets impatient and says in a growl, "Where do you think Sky went? I want him brought back to me. You puppets aren't going anywhere. I'll tie you to strings if I don't get an answer from you five. He's the last one I except to leave his siblings behind. Tell me where he is! Or you'll be my new evil toys! I promise this hell will be over if you explain." Ren glares and says, "I rather die for my little brother than tell you anything about our plan. You are cruel!" Spook glares back, "Ren, Ren, you're the last one to talk back to me. I think you know better. Tell me where is he?" Ren glares, "Nu! I'm not telling you anything!" He holds his other siblings' hands as they were all glaring at Spook. Max yells, "We rather die than tell you what our brother is doing! We have a right to the truth and you can't stop us! Cause, we can stop you."

Spook gets more angry and snaps his fingers as strong from the ceiling appearing and attach to all five puppets. Ren groans as he was lifted into the air first. Cassie yells, "Let him go! We are protecting our brother. Nothing else!" She groans as she was lifted into the air next. Ren glares and looks at Spook, "If you kill us, he won't see us again!"

Spook chuckles and says softly, "Kill you? No I'm going to change you for the better and Sky will also join you. He'll be my last puppet and I'll make sure you all next escape again." They were all scared for their lives and even feared Sky wouldn't make it back alive or he would know too much about the truth and not tell them anything. But what Spook didn't know was that Sky had found the room of secrets and grabbed a book and voodoo doll that would show them everything and the doll was one of the puppets that was never seen but was a soul of the puppet. Sky even find multiple puppets in the room and believe there was hundreds upon hundreds of puppets, Spook had and never use those dolls unless he had to. He finally appears back but with Ivory and Irro under his control.

Spook had noticed him and glares as he says angrily, "Glad you could join us! But it's time for you to sit in time out." Sky glares and says, "Not in a million years! I know what your secrets and this is far enough. This celebration is over with!" As he said that, everything had started to disappear and the room changes to a party room but with the puppies back but also Spook put into a chair as Ivory and Irro were now standing by Sky. Everything went quiet as Ren, Cassie, Max and Lou were now sitting on a couch. Ren gulps saying softly, "What the hell just happened?" Sky says softly, "I was able to change our way around this hell." Spook was impressed but he knew this wasn't over yet. Soon the puppets would realize to escape this place is leave everything and only have each other to find a better home for themselves. Sky wasn't going to give up about the truth but learned that there was something that Spook his from them. Even hid information from his other puppets he had and they would end up turning on him or following him to find the puppets again.
