Bite Sized

5 END

Soon enough, darkness set its blanket over Death City as the sun let the moon come up. Laughing and bleeding, the moon floated above, sitting in front of the clouds as its notorious laugh rang. Black Star, by losing an epic game of rock paper scissors, was forced to position the gross, bloody, and dead rat against the cage wall. In return, he was allowed to escape first. He climbed on the rat the instant he had it set and dove over the cage wall.

Thud! Black Star struck the table and bounced off, popping his back lightly with a crack and sending him crashing into a very ugly doll, Mr. Green; the brother of Miss Blue and Ms. Pink.

"Agh! It's so ugly, it's so ugly!" screamed Black Star.

"Quiet Black Star!" hissed Tsubaki as she jumped down, landing on the table with her feet.

Maka jumped down with Soul next, both landing on their feet before Chrona jumped out to join them. All four jumped down, where Tsubaki found Black Star kicking Mr. Green repeatedly for being 'ungodly and ugly.' She dragged him off, where they rushed to follow Maka and the others. Maka led them down the hall, soon recognizing it from when Raichel had carried her to the door. Quietly, she gave them a hand signal and ducked against a wall to check around the corner.

The house itself may as well have been asleep. Nothing was astir and even every maid had gone to sleep. Maka smiled and led her friends onward, to the front door and the windows as many shadows flowed into the darkened abyss of a room. Looking around, Maka noted the cords for the window blinds hanging down and she jumped for one, motioning for everyone to follow her. They all climbed up and ended up onto the sill, where they all finally saw the laughing moon. The window having been left open a crack by accident had a hole in its screen. All they had to do was open the window.

"Everyone, push!" Maka called.

Side to side, everyone grabbed an edge of the window and pushed it upwards, causing only a slight budge. Grunting and moaning, they finally managed to get it lifted up enough for escape. Not daring to celebrate yet, the five friends slipped into the world between the window and its screen before climbing out the hole and leaping out into the night, plummeting to the grass below. Only this grass felt furry and wasbreathing?

"Possum!" screamed Maka half a minute later.

"Crap!" everyone yelped in unison before they all rushed from the now running possum and flung themselves into the grassy ring near the edge of Raichel's side of the street.

Flying through the night, all five made it across the street to the apartment. Now, the only question was how to get up to the fifth floor?

"Craphow are we going to do this Maka?" Soul asked.

"UmI don't know. We could wait for someone to come inOh! We could call Blair in our apartment! We have a mirror-phone now," Maka stated.

"Our number is 10-77-666 isn't it?" Soul asked since they had only recently gotten the thing and he hadn't quite learned it yet.

Meanwhile, Tsubaki and Chrona began looking for a mirror or something.

"Yup, that's the number alright."

"Okay" Soul murmured

Black Star threw his fist into the air, "I, the amazing Black Star, demand to be let inside right now!"

Tsubaki and Chrona returned carrying half of a compact, the half with the mirror in it. Maka fogged it and put in the number. Blair, yawning heavily, soon answered the mirror.

"Meow! What? Oh! Soul! Maka! Blair's so glad you guys are okay! What's going on?"

"We're outside the complex and need to be let in," Soul answered.
