Walking down the hallway, tensions in the room began to grow. Little kid laugher flew all around the room, screams echoed, and the smell of blood filled the halls. Then all of a sudden the light bulbs blew out, causing the glass to shatter all over the floor. One of them cut one of my ankles.

"Stay close." I ordered Zaishi. He nodded and grabbed one of my ears. We both heard a faint scream from upstairs. I sighed because I knew whose scream that was.

"What the hell is going on man?" Zaishi questioned. I felt him shivering.

"Estelle screamed because it was dark." I answered him, still walking. I grabbed a flashlight from the wall. Hell, I didn't know how it get there but it came in handy at the right moment.

"Oh... Wait No! I mean why is the mansion being turned into a Hunted Mansion?" He asked me.

"Wouldn't I like to know?" I told him sarcastically. My ears flinched and I stopped walking. I meditated my ears for about 2 seconds. Something was coming this way...

"I hear footsteps coming our way." I warned him softer than a whisper.

"Helloooooo?!" He called out in front of us.

"Who goes there?"

There were more kid laughter. Very creepy kid laughter. The laughter began to deepen into a manly tone. Zaishi held me close, shivering all over the place.

"Hide me!", He whined, wrapping my ear all around him. I just sighed from his lack of bravery. What was wrong with this man?

Out of the darkness, a playboy girl with a nurse outfit on appeared. She had more curves than I. Her breast looked like it was about to burst out of her outfit. She looked like one of those girls from the hentai mazagines. My eye twitched. I felt disturbed. With a big needle in hand, she giggled my way and winked.

"Sorry chick, I'm straight." I said emotionlessly, twitching my eye and giving her 'the hand'. I looked over to Zaishi. His eyes were heart-formed and he was drooling all over the place. Of course...

"Well HEEELLLOOOO SEXY~!" He drooled. A sweat drop formed from the back of my head. This fool was falling for her trick! The nurse signaled him to come to her with her finger and began to skip into the darkness.

"Where you going beautiful? WAIT FOR MEEE~" The idiot shouted, running towards the darkness.

"I SAID STAY CLOSE, DAMMIT!" I tried to grasp him with my ear, but he was long gone.

"Damn idiot." I groaned. Boys... what can you do? Then, I heard him scream from the dark side. It sounded like a painful groan. Freak out, I began to take steps back from the dark side of the room. The nurse laughter echoed in the hall. Then the kid's laughter. Then the man's.

"Luuuupeeee" the man voice chanted. Oh shit.... I was next in line. I turned around and began to power walk the other way.

"Luuuuuuuuuupppppeeeeeeee!!!" It chanted louder. Other voices echoed my name as well.

"What the hell you want from me?!" I shouted to the heavens. I felt a tap on my shoulder. My shoulders raised and my eyes widened. My head slowly turned with a freaked out expression stuck to my face. I turned around to see...... A bloody doctor, the one that was in my visions, with papers in his hands, covered in his own blood. His eyes were dull black.

"I want you." He whispered quickly. That was it. I was completely freak the HELL out!!! I dropped the flashlight from the shock, and began to JET outta there. As I ran, one of my fluffy slippers slipped off.

"Come Back!" It said in a commanding... but sad tone. But that wasn't stopping me. I was running faster than I ever ran before. I couldn't see where I was going, but I was still running anyways.

"Stay the hell away from me!!" I screamed, running a bit faster from the hands that were reaching for me. I then tripped, I think over a stair, then I fell down, tumbling downstairs. After 10 seconds from hard, painful tumbling, I landed in a puddle of dirty water. I wasn't knocked out but I felt excruciating pain from my ankle that was cut.

"Gaahh." I groaned out of pain.

"Hello?" A voice said. "Hello? Anyone there?"

"No... Please don't take me..." I responded. I thought it was the darkness things. I tried to stand up but fell back down into the water. My ankle hurted badly.

"Where are you? I'm here to help!" The voice said. I crawled into a corner and used a slim solar beam towards the voice.

"Whoa!" The voice shouted. My eyes began to adjust to the darkness and I saw the being dodging my attack. It turned towards my way. Oh good god, it saw me. I tried to crawl towards the right and bumped into a cabinet, causing flashlights to tumble over and hit my head. I grabbed the first one that hit my head and pressed the POWER button on it. Batteries were dead. Damn it! The being was getting closer and closer. I threw the un-working flashlight towards it and tried another one. I pressed the button and the light was flickering on and off.

"C'mon work.. work." I commanded, hitting the flashlight with my palm. It worked and I flashed the light toward the thing.

Standing in front of me, was a Girafirag gijinka. He flinched from the brightness of the light, then got a good look on me.

"Who are you..." He questioned. I raised my eyebrow.

"I should be asking the same question!", I responded. The basement light turned on.

"My name is Gale. I am a Girafirag Gijinka. And I broke into this house because I heard screaming from inside." He told me, putting out his hand so I can grab it. I gave him a dirty look. Can he be trusted? Then again... new Gijinka do come here in search of a home. My face expression turned calm and I grabbed his hand. I almost fell right back down but he helped me retained my balance.

"The name's Lupe. Loppuny Gijinka.", I introduced myself. It was type embarrassing introducing myself to a new Gijinka with a dirty bathrobe and one bed slipper on. Also, in this predicament where the house is type haunted.

"What is going on here?" He asked.

"I'm not sure myself... This house just turned Haunted outta the blue..." I responded. We both heard more screams and freakish laughter.

"I got to find the others!" I worried, trying to push myself to walk. I fell right back into Gale's arms. I moaned from the pain.

"Wait, there's more Gijinka?" He asked in a excited tone.

"Yeah, the house is full of them... Gaaah!" I screamed. The pain gotten worse.

"Hey, are you alright?" He asked me. I pointed down to my bloody, blue ankle. He nodded as if he understood and gently swooped me off from my feet.

"Thanks..." I thanked him. He nodded.

"Where to?"

"Upstairs. We need to find the others. They are in danger." With the flashlight in my hand and me under his arms, We went upstairs into the dark. More screams and laughter came about.

"HELP!!!!" A voice said in the distance.

"That way!", I navigated Gale to the voice.

“HELP!” A voice screeched. Dear Lugia. It was Poochy's voice... Gale ran quickly into the room where her voice came from and found Poochy being pulled into the ground.

“Poochy!” I yelled.

“Help me!” She repeated, again. The arms were dragging her below the floorboards into the darkness. Gale placed me on the ground and attempted to help Poochy out. It was like a Tug Or War with Poochy's body. And here I was... just lying there being helpless??? That is NOT the move. It was time to snap out of this illusion of a nightmare that was in my eyes and back into reality, where my friends needed my help. I began to charge up a lot of energy inside of me. Powered by anger, confusion, and determination, I cried out words along with a huge blast.

“Solar Beam!” It was a great impact on the arms. They vanished into thin air when they were hit. Poochy fell onto Gale with a grunt.

“You okay?” He questioned her as Poochy nodded, climbing off of him.

“Yeah…” she heaved.

"Thank god", I sighed not louder than a whisper, holding my chest. A smile formed on my face. I was so happy to see that she was okay. I wanted to run up and hug her but it was certainly no time for that. Gale came up to me and picked me back up into his arms.
Poochy, still shocked and gasping for air, bean to look at me then to Gale

“Thanks.” Gale sighed, looked down at me.

“Sure thing.” I nodded.

Gale turned his head to Poochy. “I’m Gale, a Girafarig Gijinka.”

She nodded. “I’m Poochy, Poochyena Gijinka.”

“Have you seen anyone else?” I asked Poochy, trying to skip into the point.

She nodded. “I was with Kat and Sable, but somehow Kat disappeared and then I was pulled through the ground.”

All of a sudden, the voices bounced back into the room. We all glanced around, freaked out.

“When is this nightmare going to end!” shouted Poochy.

My fist began to ball up. This was getting too ridiculous to handle. I tossed Poochy a flashlight that was in my robe pocket. “We’re going to figure out what the hell is going on!”

“Let’s go!” Gale proposed.

I nodded in agreement. So did Poochy. And with that, we ran out of the room I search of others... or those voices.

As we ran, more arms and shadow like figures tried to attack us. Poochy used multiple shadow balls to vanish them. I used thin beams. Even Gale helped out by using Iron Tail on some of them. He always scares the hell outta me when he uses his attacks KNOWING I WAS STILL IN HIS ARMS! -sigh... But at least he was being helpful. Although... I could have sworn a teardrop came from his tail's eye when he uses Iron Tail... then again, it could be my imagination playing games on me.

"Please! SOMEONE HELP!!! I DONT WANT TO BE ALONEEEEE!!" I heard someone screamed from the distance. That voice.... it was so familiar... But I couldn't point out that female's face or name.

"You hear that?" I questioned Poochy and Gale. They both nodded and ran towards the voice. We ran up to see a dark figure that was about to attack.... Is that Vara? IT WAS! VARA!

"Shadow Ball!" Gale and Poochy both yelled, launching the attack at the dark figure. It vanished out of no where with a dying screech. Vara, filled with tears, looked up at us.

"L-Lupe?" She questioned, getting up from her ball-like formation on the ground.

"Yeah, it's me. Glad to see you again, Vara." I smiled. She smiled as well, and then it turned into a frown.

"What's happening here?" I panicked. I sighed.

"Same thing we are trying to figure out", Poochy came in.

"Join the party, Vara... And don't go running off like you always do, ne?" I crossed my arms. She nodded. I tossed her a flashlight. More hands were charging towards us.... then it hit me.

"Guys, don't attack." I yelled. They all stared at me like I gone mad.

"What? Are you crazy? They will kill us!" Poochy argued.

"Listen, maybe they will take us to the others. Maybe to Kat and this... Sable you speak of."

"Pssh, Makes sense..." Gale commented sarcastically. I gave him the look.

"Just trust me guys!" The arms came closer and closer and they got ready to fight.

"But Lu-"

"THAT'S AN ORDER!!" I screamed at them. They sighed and obeyed. We all closed our eyes as the hands grasped us, attacked us and pulled us into the darkness...

.~.

So dark....

I woke up from a brutal knockout from the hands... Damn things... They sure do know how to knock a girl up-side the head hard. Wait, I was all alone. Where was everyone? Vara? Poochy? Gale? Huh, I wasn't in my robe anymore... I was in my regular attire... How the hell that got on me?

"Hello?" My voiced echoed throughout the unknown place I was in. I began to stand up. My ankle seemed to be fine... WHAT WAS GOING ON?

"Hey there", said a ghostly voice behind me. I front-flipped and turned to see who it was. It was that bloody doctor I saw earlier.

"Are you okay? I healed up your ankle and brought you your clothes. Your ankle was in a serious condition from the germs and blood clots but I still have the kna-"

"Who the hell are you..... What the hell you want from us? Why are you torturing us?!" I growled, interrupting him. He seemed to be shocked.

"Me? Cause torment? Now why would I do that, love?" He stepped towards my way and I stepped back.

"Don't call me that, you sick bastard! Where are my friends?!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THEM?!!" He then gave me a sorry ass look and didn't respond.

"ANSWER ME!!"

"Oh my love... you have grown up so well..." He ignored my question. He walked towards me. I swung my fist at him but my attack went right through him. He then touched my face with his palm. I felt myself frozen. Literally. I couldn't move... He moved his hand to my chest.

"...and very developed as well." He smirked. I wanted to kill the bastard for doing that. NO ONE touches my twins (XD REALLY LUPE?). He continues to talk.

"My lovely... beautiful test subject 2000563. You turned out to be a success. If only I have known..." Tears began to fill his dull, blue eyes. I raised an eyebrow.

"What are you talking about? Test subject 2000563? I think you got the wrong-" I paused my statement. I remember... in my visions, there was a doctor talking bout some test subject... and the bunneary girl... was that me?

"Ah, You go by "Lupe" now, don't you? Haha, such a hardcore name for such a beauty... in which I created." I then gained conscious of myself and stepped back.

"You created?" I questioned. He chuckled.

"Why yes... you was created. I am your creator. I spent days and nights creating you to test on you. To see if pokemon DNA can transform a being such as humans... well in your case human-like android (Sort of like a Chobit)... into a gijinka. For my selfish needs of staying alive... when you escaped, leaving my laboratory destroyed, I had to start all over with my hard work. 2 days later... I died from my cancer."

"So you are seeking revenge from your messed up lab?" I questioned blankly. He smirked and pulled out a gun from his pocket.

"No I am here to take you with me." He said emotionlessly. I gasped. I tried to run but I felt my limbs paralyzed again. AWW I WAS IN SOME DEEP SHIT!!

I kept on running, ignoring the wails and screams the spirits made. Where are you, Lupe?!

And where were Lux and Estelle?! I could also feel their danger in my instincts. Mear, Shupple, Akira, Allie, Hon, Hoom… And so many others!
But mostly I felt Lupe.

“LUPE!!!!!” I screamed, making the ghosts reacts with laughs. “LUUUPPPPEEEE!!”

“Looking for the lopunny girl?”

I spin around to the voice and I couldn’t believe who I saw.

“I thought they pulled you in!! You’re not real!!” I screamed at him.

Cheruu only laughs. “You’re right, I’m not real. But that kid you let get swallowed by the shadows WAS the real Cheruu.”

“Like I care either way!” I growl. “He LEFT me!”

The fake Cheruu shrugged “It’s none of my business.”

“Just tell me where everyone is! Tell me where Lupe is!”

“And why should I do that?” He laughed. His familiar black eyes suddenly took on a nasty yellow glow and his smile was empty and long across his face.

“SPARK!!” I shout and let my golden eyes flash as the surge of energy blows off of my skin and into the body of the shadow.

He disappears before it hits him, but I hear his voice in the ceiling.

“You really wanna know? Take a look, then… And join the party in Hell with the rest of your friends.”

“What are--”

The hallway opens into a portal of pure black, a hole only big enough for myself to walk into. I stand back for a moment, but soon I heard her.

“Lupe?!?!” I dove inside and immediately I felt the hole close behind me, plunging me into darkness.

“You fool.” Cheruu hissed in a fake metallic voice.

I walked for a while in darkness, almost afraid to speak but eventually I just didn’t care. “LUUUUX!! EEESTELLLEEE!!” I stumbled once but continued to shout names. No one replied though, so I began to just shout Lupe’s name.

And she’s there.

The light is dim and my eyes are fading, but I see her. She looked terrified, standing and staring at something still in darkness.

I can barely feel my legs--Move, Chii, move!!

“Go ahead.” I hear the fake Cheruu hiss.

That’s when I run and that’s when I hear her speak. “ANSWER ME!!”

“Lupe, I’m here!!” I shout to her, but I can tell she can’t hear me, nor was she even talking to me. I tried very hard to see who was in that darkness, but what was more frustrating that not seeing who she was talking to was being unable to run very fast in this thick dark. She didn’t seem to be getting any closer!

“What are you talking about? Test subj…”

Her conversastion was getting faint. She was getting hard to hear.

“Lupe, I’m here!” I shout again.

“You crea….” She was getting faint! Oh Arceus above us, please don’t let her slip away!

She was getting closer, but why was I so slow?!

She said something else, but this time I felt as if my ears had gone deaf. None of her words reached me.

“Get away from her, whoever you are!”

So close.

“LUUPPPEEE!!!” I was there--I’d made it! But as soon as I’d come to her she finally saw me and her eyes widened in shock.

“Chii?!”

“Yes, darling I--”

“No! NO! Get out of the way!!!” She tried to push me.

“I don’t underst--”

“Move!!! Please!! He’ll--”

I heard a faint shot of a gun in the back of my head and she screamed. I couldn’t help but cling onto her as she shrieked in my ear.

“Darling what is it?!” I patted her back but she held me tighter.

“Chii!! Chii, he shot you! You’re bleeding everywhere!!”

“No, no I’m fine darling!”

“I’m so sorry!” She sobbed and I cringed.

“What you saw isn’t real, nothing is wrong with me, Lupe!” I held her tighter. “Something’s wrong here, we have to find the others!”

“B-but you’re hurt! He SHOT you in the HEAD!!”

“Shhh… None of that’s real. It’s all a bad nightmare.”

I didn’t know what to do--whatever that THING was, it had certainly done it’s job in scaring her to death.

“Whatever that ghost or demon or whatever it was told you was a lie Lupe, I promise.”

She was calming down a bit, I could tell she no longer saw blood all over me but she shook nonetheless. “No…” She shook her head. “No, something about what he said… Augh, I’m so confused!” She pushed away and I let her stumble a bit in the dim light, holding her head. Something was bothering her, but I wouldn’t ask her what it was.
