Kirby and the Dark Stars (OLD)

Chapter 42: The forgetten princess of evil

I don't know anything about voodoo apart from the cartoon logic of pain on doll is pain on person-

Uh warning, rather dark character death-

The sky was duller than ever, being a bland, cold grey, mixed with a strong, freezing wind. The clouds filled the skies, all the same grey. Yet there was no sign of rain, snow, or hail. Tiff stared out the window, pondering the change of weather. It felt like it had been winter forever, despite only having been a couple of months.

She noticed a figure outside, sat on one of the balconies, it felt familiar but she couldn't say who it was. They were looking down as if talking to someone else, probably nothing important.

She went back to her thoughts, wondering what Knuckle Joe and Sirica were doing at the moment. She took a sip of water before taking out her diary to write in. She simply chose to write down her thoughts and theories of what was happening at the moment.

She had been at this for a while, when she heard a knock at the door of her families apartment, she turned round as the door opened. Kirby ran in quickly as he sat down by Tiff. The door continued to open, a gloved hand pushing it.

"Hello. We were going to be asking some people questions, since you seem to like knowing as much as possible, we, mainly I, want to know if you wanted to come along?" Meta Knight asked, using his second hand to hold the two familiar, purple paws that belonged to Fomey. "As well as the fact Kirby wanted to see you."

She looked rather upset about something and was partially wrapped up in Meta Knight's cape. She didn't speak a word and simply kept as close to him as possible.

"Alright then." Tiff answered, getting up and walking over to them as Kirby followed her, giving a happy Poyo.

The four began to walk down the corridor, Meta Knight ahead of Tiff and Kirby. While he gently clenched Fomey's paws as she walked right next to him. Tiff felt a little confused but didn't say anything.

"Where's Tuff at the moment?" Meta Knight asked. Kirby had begun to run around, attempting to pick someone to walk with, not sure who he wanted to be with.

"Oh, he went out to play with his friends. He's lucky it's not running." Tiff told Meta Knight.

"Did he take a scarf, jumper, and hat with him?" Meta Knight asked, his voice echoed by the towering walls of castle Dedede, shadowed by the noise of footsteps.

"Well, yeah, he did.. with a bit of persuasion, that is." She answered, her eyes watching Kirby run around the three of them madly. "What's wrong with Fomey?" She asked, a little concerned on Fomey's quiet behaviour.

"Someone you've never met has done something extremely horrible to her. I won't explain further." He replied before muttering angrily about someone under his breath. Tiff decided to just stay quiet for the rest of the walk there.

After a while, the four eventually got where they wanted to be. Meta Knight opened the door with his available hand, leading them in. Tiff felt nervous, not sure who was there, but continued in anyway.

Inside there were a few people sat, one side of the room was Cleo, there were a couple waddle fees with her, probably keeping her and Eevlin from fighting despite being at opposite sides of the room. Daisy was also there, sitting in the middle of the room. She was humming a familiar tune, a little like the one of the nursery rhyme that Eevlin had sung.

"Hello, you three, as you know, I have some simple questions to ask you." Meta Knight said. Eevlin simply looked over, keeping her emotion unreadable for the moment. Cleo huffed, and Daisy jumped out of shock. "I see you'd like to be out of this room first, Cleo." He added, responding to the huff.
