The Eighth Hero

Chapter 16

Aphmau pov

"Hey, stop yelling" the cat meowed. I immediately dropped it like I was holding fire itself. "OW" it yelled. I looked down at it, expecting to see a cat, but to my surprise I saw a boy with a cat onesie and brown, curly hair.

He got up, brushed himself of like he had dirt on his clothes, and stuck his hand out to me. "I'm Stampy" he said smiling. I gasped. " You're the third past amulet holder! You can shape shift!" I yelled. He chuckled. "Stampylongnose at your service" I shake his hand giggling.

Sky ran up to us. "She used to have a mega crush on you!" I gave him a death glare . "Emphases on used to" Sky stuck out his tongue. Then an evil smile came onto his face. "Ya, you can't like Stampy since you already have a huge crush on Max~"

"Shut up Sky!" I yelled. Thankfully Max was to far away to here him. After he finally came over Tiffany led us in, where there was a huge staircase in the middle that split into two. She led us up them. After showing Max and Sky to their rooms, she stopped. " Um, what about my room?" I asked. She led me to another room on the other side of the building, but it wasn't a guest room like the other two. It was painted pink and had pictures of bakery's and treats. Instead of one bed, like the others, it had two.

"You'll be bunking with me!" She yelled excitedly. She explained how she had really wanted another girl in the room because why the heck not! "You don't have to of course" she said, looking down. "Of course I'll bunk with you" I yelled flopping on the other bed.

It was actually pretty fun. We mostly just snacked on snacks and talked about girly stuff. It had been to late in the day to go looking for the other amulet holders, which really bothered me since I was pretty worried about them. Now I can hardly remember anything other than now. I was just having so much fun!

"So, you and Max huh" she smirked, sitting on her bed. "Well, not really" I laid down on my own bed. "I'm pretty sure he likes Ross" I shrugged. She smiled sadly. "I know how it feels to love someone you'd have no chance with" she sighed. I sat up. "Really, who!" I yelled. She chuckled. "I actually have had a pretty big crush on Stacy for a while, but she's straight" she looked down. Oh my Irene, I ship it!

I went to sit next to her "Hey, you don't know that! Does she have a boyfriend?" I asked. She looked up at me. "Not that I know of " I raised an eyebrow. "Has she ever said she was straight?" She looked over to the side. "Nooooo" she giggled. I nudged her with my elbow. "Then you've got just as much a chance as anyone else!" I yelled. She laughed and looked at me sincerely "You're a really awesome person Aphmau" I blushed and mumbled a "thanks". "Enough about me, back to your boy problems" she declared.

"Oh look we ran out of snacks" I said. "Hey, don't change the subject!" She yelled. Then she looked down and actually saw we'd ran out. "Oh." I picked up the piles of candy rappers and potato chip bags, running down stairs to get more and throw these away. Totally not dodging talking about Max or anything.

"You're just postponing the inedible" She yelled at my retreating form. "WE WILL TALK ABOUT HIM!"

"TALK ABOUT WHO?" Sky yelled from across the house. "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Tiffany yelled. I snorted. Dorks I thought. It had turned dark outside so the house was dark as well, which made it pretty hard to get down the stairs. Ones I reached the bottom I turned to the right, smacking into the wall by mistake. "Opps" I mumbled, going through the actual door. It was so dark I couldn't even find the light switch. I went over to the faint outline of the pantry and got some more chips.

I then turned to get the ice-cream from the fridge (I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream :3) when I stopped dead in my tracks. There was a figure standing in front of it, covered by the shadows. I hid behind the trash can that I had conveniently been throwing my trash in. It seemed they hadn't seen me. It walked over to the fridge. I had started getting out of my hiding spot, thinking it was just Sky or some one else getting midnight snacks like me, when instead of opening it, they moved it.

When it was fully pushed to the side, the figure looked down. There was a huge, black hole that had been hidden by the fridge. The figure quickly jumped in, the fridge slowly moving back to its original spot, like it was being controlled by magic. But before it could fully cover the hole, I jumped in, the fridge sealing the way I came in as I fell into blackness.
