"Two down, seven more to go. Want to try for another?" Bierce asked me kindly.

I nodded. I wanted to get this portal done fast, I was too excited for the other portal I'm about to jump into. I noticed the third portal with a pirate face in it. The monster looks like a human too, but I realized that it was a statue. I walked into the portal once again to see a cliff with spikes on the bottom. I gulped in fear and looked away.

"You'll need than a speed boost to get across that. Fall into the pit and I think we both guess where you'll end up. Fortunately for you, I can give you the power to jump across, No not with those spindly legs of yours. I'm talking teleportation. Go to the ring alter."

"Ooooh ok," I said in realization but at the same time offended by what she said about legs. I have beautiful legs, I think she's just jealous. I walked to the ring alter to boost up the power called 'Teleportation'. I touched the statue once again and felt like that I can teleport everywhere I go. I was pleased, I thanked Bierce and went into the statue portal that looked Humanoid.

"Go on, give it a try. I'll just add it in your tab." She jokingly.

"Whatever Bierce ..." I said Unamused. I went into the portal, greeted by spikes again, I switched speed boost to Teleportation. After that, I started to Teleport like a magician.

Finally, I made it to the door. 'That was a relief' I thought to myself, I walked through the doors to be greeted by a manor, But I couldn't see it far from here.

"Keep your eyes open, Love. The statues in this place are awfully life-like." I nodded in agreement. I continued walking to the royal-like doors that were connected, I pushed it open and saw a beautiful garden. But was greeted by a statue standing on top of the where they use to put the statues for people to see or take pictures.

"I wonder who does the landscaping here. Very Impressive." Bierce said with an impressed voice filled in. I couldn't blame Bierce. It was Impressive, Most likely beautiful. I wish the was my home. But it wasn't....such a shame.

I walked into the maze to collect the shard, After collected three of the shards I heard laughter coming from behind me. I turned around doing a 360, Seeing a smiling statue in front of me. It continued to stare at me, I slowly back away. After I back away slowly I ran to collect more shards.

"In case you were wondering, yes. Those footsteps are getting louder!" Bierce said with warning. I got startled by the yelling by Bierce. I ran as fast as I could but the footsteps were behind me, getting closer. I panicked as I let my legs took over. I avoided the harpoons that were raising from the traps they set up for me as traps. So I collected one more shard from the garden.

I panted Because I'm so out of breath from all of the running. I can't believe that I had to run to get so many shards to go home. Well, Whatever, I don't mind anyway, I looked up at the manor. It's so beautiful, I looked at it with a dreamy expression.

"How nostalgic. I used to have a manor like this. Much bigger of course." She said dreamily I wish I had a manor like this. But I tried so hard to work hard to get a manor like this. I wanted to help my family. But I still work harder to get a manor like this. Hopefully.

I opened the door to the manor to see all golden and shiny, it felt like a dream. I wanted to have a future in the manor. But I have to stick to the plan here, I can't get distracted right now.

"Is it terribly rude if you let yourself in unannounced?" Bierce said with concern and questioning in her voice. I didn't really care at the moment so I kept searching for the shards to get my mind of the 'buying a whole ass manor thing.' because it really frustrates me when I think of it. I heard laughing from me Once again, I ran to get many of the shards as possible. I avoided the traps in the manor again as I did with the garden. 'When will I get out of this place?' I thought to myself, I ran past the statues and grabbed the piece of the ring piece.

"The Nightmare is collapsing. You need to get back to the portal!" Bierce said in a panicked voice.

~Timeskip while the watcher screams at me for messing up q-q~

I ran outside the manor, trying to escape from the statues. I panicked and ran to the entrance I came from before collecting the shards. I ran and opened the gate door and suddenly I saw the key to freedom from this Nightmare.

'I have to hurry before it's too late' I thought to myself in panic.

"There's no escape for you, My love~" I heard Malak yelled out in the distance. I panicked and ran to the portal before the statues could get me.

I was back in the ballroom. Safe and sound, I sighed in relief that I was back. I don't want to go back there again. I heard Bierce talked first, so I turned to her.

"Heheheheh I didn't you'd make it this far, love I really didn't! Who knows, you might go all the way..."

"Sweetheart if you believe her then she's lying, Once she gets what she wants, your done. Which I don't want to happen, dear." Malak said with love and concern in his voice.

"Oh yes, trust the bloodthirsty demon. No doubt he has your best interest at heart!" Bierce said mockingly and cruel to him.

Malak wasn't amused, he started to glare at her with hatred and dispisement.

"Hrggh..." He growled in frustration

I looked away in fear and confusion. But looked back at Bierce with concern and sternness.

"Six Pieces left. Ready to try again?" She said with politeness in her voice. I nodded in agreement. Another portal popped out and it was the picture of a ducky with liquid from its beak. I got startled a bit but sighed.

'I guess I have to stay alive for a little longer I guess.' I thought in my mind, But I was determined to beat this and go home.
